Fivem

Fivem is a multiplayer game with release date 2017-03-31. The measured combo here is an Intel Core i5-12400 paired with an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090. The data set is measured rather than estimated, includes 1080p, 1440p, and 4K results at four presets, and this combination ranks 56th out of 1792 tested combinations.

CPU Role

The Intel Core i5-12400 is a Core 12th Gen desktop processor built on Alder Lake-S. Intel manufactures it on a 10 nm process. It has 6 cores and 12 threads, a base clock of 2.50 GHz, a boost clock of 4.40 GHz, and a 65 W TDP. The chip uses Intel Socket 1700, supports DDR4 and DDR5 memory through a dual-channel controller, and includes 18 MB of shared L3 cache. Each core gets 80 KB of L1 cache and 1.25 MB of L2 cache. It also carries UHD Graphics 730 and provides PCIe Gen 5 with 16 CPU lanes.

Synthetic benchmarks show a solid overall result. The i5-12400’s average benchmark score is 19850, which places it at the 77th percentile of all CPUs. Its nearest rivals are close: the Intel Core i7-9700 scores 19831 with a deltaPct of 0.1, the Intel Core i7-8700 scores 19894 with a deltaPct of -0.2, the AMD Ryzen Threadripper PRO 5995WX scores 19928 with a deltaPct of -0.4, and the Intel Core i5-11600K scores 19771 with a deltaPct of 0.4. In aggregate CPU score, the i5-12400 is effectively level with the i7-9700, slightly behind the i7-8700 and Threadripper PRO part, and slightly ahead of the i5-11600K.

Thread scaling data is also informative. In 3DMark, the i5-12400 scores 910 in the single-thread test, 1692 with 2 threads, 3012 with 4 threads, 4745 with 8 threads, 5873 with 16 threads, and 5890 at max threads. Cinebench R23 returns 2249 in single-core and 15935 in multi-core. PassMark records 3456 for single-thread performance and 18747 for multithread performance. Additional PassMark results include 226908 for data compression and 11418 for data encryption. These numbers describe a CPU with strong single-thread speed and respectable multi-thread scaling.

In Fivem, the measured frame rates reflect that CPU strength. At 1920x1080 Low, the i5-12400/RTX 4090 combo reaches 307.9 FPS. At Medium it reaches 282 FPS, at High 233.2 FPS, and at Ultra 178.3 FPS. Those results are high enough that the CPU is not obviously the main restriction in the lighter presets. The data suggests the i5-12400 can feed the RTX 4090 well at 1080p, particularly on Low and Medium settings.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 is a GeForce 40-series card based on Ada Lovelace architecture. The GPU uses TSMC's 5 nm process, with 76,300 million transistors on a 609 mm² die and a transistor density of 125.3 million per mm². The chip is AD102. The card has 16384 shading units, 512 texture mapping units, 176 ROPs, 128 RT cores, and 512 tensor cores. Its base clock is 2235 MHz, boost clock is 2520 MHz, and memory clock is 1313 MHz with 21 Gbps effective. Memory is 24 GB of GDDR6X on a 384-bit bus with 1.01 TB/s bandwidth.

Other listed specifications include a pixel rate of 443.5 GPixel/s, a texture rate of 1,290.2 GTexel/s, FP32 throughput of 82.58 TFLOPS, and FP16 throughput of 82.58 TFLOPS at a 1:1 ratio. The card has a 450 W TDP, a triple-slot cooler, and a 1x 16-pin power connector, with a suggested PSU of 850 W. It connects through PCIe 4.0 x16. Production status is listed as end-of-life, with GeForce 30 as predecessor and GeForce 50 as successor.

The RTX 4090 benchmarks place it at the 91st percentile of all GPUs, with an average benchmark score of 66473. Its nearest rivals are close: the NVIDIA Tesla T4 scores 66733 with a deltaPct of -0.4, the NVIDIA Tesla P40 scores 66127 with a deltaPct of 0.5, the AMD Radeon Pro Vega 56 scores 67097 with a deltaPct of -0.9, and the NVIDIA Quadro P6000 scores 67320 with a deltaPct of -1.3. The RTX 4090 also posts a 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 9223, Geekbench OpenCL score of 317684, Geekbench Vulkan score of 270615, Passmark G3D score of 38194, and Passmark GPU compute score of 26613.

In Fivem, the GPU's effect appears most clearly at higher resolutions and presets. At 3840x2160, Low yields 131.5 FPS, Medium yields 106.4 FPS, High yields 83.6 FPS, and Ultra yields 65.4 FPS. At 2560x1440, Low yields 244.1 FPS, Medium yields 189 FPS, High yields 151.2 FPS, and Ultra yields 118.5 FPS. The drop from Low to Ultra at each resolution tracks the additional rendering load placed on the RTX 4090.

Measured FPS Breakdown

| Resolution | Settings | Avg FPS |

|---|---|---|

| 3840x2160 | High | 83.6 |

| 3840x2160 | Low | 131.5 |

| 3840x2160 | Medium | 106.4 |

| 3840x2160 | Ultra | 65.4 |

| 2560x1440 | High | 151.2 |

| 2560x1440 | Low | 244.1 |

| 2560x1440 | Medium | 189 |

| 2560x1440 | Ultra | 118.5 |

| 1920x1080 | High | 233.2 |

| 1920x1080 | Low | 307.9 |

| 1920x1080 | Medium | 282 |

| 1920x1080 | Ultra | 178.3 |

The highest average in the table is 307.9 FPS at 1080p Low. The lowest is 65.4 FPS at 4K Ultra. At every resolution, Low produces the highest average, followed by Medium, then High, then Ultra. Some cross-resolution comparisons stand out: 1440p Low at 244.1 FPS is higher than 1080p High at 233.2 FPS, and 4K Low at 131.5 FPS is still higher than 1440p Ultra at 118.5 FPS.

Resolution Scaling

Moving from 1920x1080 to 3840x2160 changes the rendering load substantially, and the measured FPS follows that trend. Low drops from 307.9 FPS at 1080p to 131.5 FPS at 4K. Medium drops from 282 FPS to 106.4 FPS. High drops from 233.2 FPS to 83.6 FPS. Ultra drops from 178.3 FPS to 65.4 FPS.

The Low preset shows the largest absolute gap because its starting point is 307.9 FPS, while Ultra shows the smallest absolute gap because its starting point is 178.3 FPS. The ordering of presets is consistent at both ends of the resolution range: Low remains the fastest and Ultra remains the slowest at 4K.

This scaling pattern says something about the limiting component. At 1080p Low, the system is producing 307.9 FPS, a very high result with the RTX 4090 in the rig. That high result implies the CPU is setting the practical ceiling in that row. As resolution climbs to 4K and settings move to High or Ultra, the GPU has to work on many more pixels and the frame rate falls to 83.6 and 65.4 FPS. Those heavier rows show the RTX 4090 becoming the main constraint.

Settings Recommendations

At 1920x1080, Ultra still delivers 178.3 FPS, so players can run the highest preset without giving up an exceptionally high frame rate. Medium and Low are faster options at 282 FPS and 307.9 FPS respectively, but the measured Ultra result is already far above the same card’s 4K High result of 83.6 FPS.

At 2560x1440, High produces 151.2 FPS while Ultra produces 118.5 FPS. The gap between those two measured rows makes High the more practical choice at 1440p if frame rate is the priority. Medium at 189 FPS and Low at 244.1 FPS are available for users who want even smoother motion.

At 3840x2160, High produces 83.6 FPS and Ultra produces 65.4 FPS. Because High keeps the average above the Ultra result while also being a higher visual preset than Medium, it is the most balanced measured setting at 4K. Users who want more headroom can step down to Medium at 106.4 FPS or Low at 131.5 FPS.
