The Intel Core i5-12400 is a 6-core, 12-thread processor based on the Alder Lake architecture, built on Intel's 10 nm process. It operates with a base clock of 2.50 GHz and a boost clock of 4.40 GHz, with a 65 W TDP. The CPU has an 18 MB shared L3 cache, 1.25 MB of L2 cache per core, and 80 KB of L1 cache per core. It supports DDR4 and DDR5 memory in a dual-channel configuration and uses the Intel Socket 1700.

Benchmark results show a processor with solid single-thread and multi-thread capabilities. The 3DMark single-thread score is 910, while the 16-thread score reaches 5873. Cinebench R23 results show 15989 multi-core and 2257 single-core. The Geekbench scores are 8564 multi-core and 1848 single-core. PassMark multi-thread score is 18747, with single-thread at 3456.

The CPU's percentile ranking is 72, meaning it performs better than 72% of all CPUs in the database. Its average benchmark score of 18683 places it close to several rivals: the AMD EPYC 7643 scores 18697 (0.1% higher), the Intel Core i7-1355U scores 18730 (0.3% higher), and the AMD Ryzen AI 5 330 scores 18811 (0.7% higher). The Intel Core i3-14100F trails at 18519 (0.9% lower).

For Fivem, a multiplayer title, the CPU's 6 cores and 12 threads should handle the game's simulation and networking demands. The boost clock of 4.40 GHz provides strong single-thread performance, which is often critical for game logic. The data indicates the CPU is not the primary bottleneck at 1080p, given the high frame rates observed, but its role becomes more relevant at higher resolutions where the GPU takes on more of the workload.

How This Combo Ranks

The Intel Core i5-12400 and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5050 combination ranks 1813 out of 3005 tested combos in Fivem, placing it in the 60th percentile of tested systems. This ranking reflects the measured FPS data across all resolutions and settings, positioning this combo in the lower half of the database's performance distribution.

This rank suggests the combo is adequate but not exceptional for Fivem. The 1080p results show strong performance, but the 4K Ultra result of 30 FPS pulls the overall ranking down. The GPU's 66th percentile ranking among all GPUs and the CPU's 72nd percentile ranking indicate a balanced pairing, but neither component is top-tier, which is consistent with a mid-range combo rank.

The delta between the CPU and GPU percentile rankings is small (6 points), suggesting the two components are reasonably well matched. The measured FPS data confirms this: at 1080p, the system delivers high frame rates across presets, but at 4K, the limits of the RTX 5050 become apparent, particularly at Ultra settings where the average drops to 30 FPS.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the combo delivers its strongest results. The Low preset averages 168 FPS, Medium averages 132 FPS with a minimum of 112 and maximum of 152, High averages 106 FPS, and Ultra averages 82 FPS. All presets at this resolution exceed the 60 FPS threshold, making 1080p the most comfortable resolution for this pairing.

At 2560x1440, performance scales down predictably. Low averages 110 FPS, Medium averages 87 FPS with a range of 74 to 100, High averages 70 FPS, and Ultra averages 54 FPS. The drop from 1080p to 1440p is significant but the system remains playable on most presets, with only Ultra falling below 60 FPS.

At 3840x2160, the GPU's limits are evident. Low averages 61 FPS, Medium averages 48 FPS with a range of 41 to 56, High averages 39 FPS, and Ultra averages 30 FPS. Only the Low preset maintains an average above 60 FPS at 4K, and even that is marginal.

The resolution scaling shows a consistent pattern: each step from 1080p to 1440p to 4K reduces frame rates substantially. The gap between 1080p and 1440p is roughly 35-40% across presets, while the gap between 1440p and 4K is even larger, reflecting the GPU's 8 GB memory and 128-bit bus width limitations at higher pixel counts.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5050 is based on the Blackwell 2.0 architecture, manufactured on TSMC's 5 nm process. The GPU features 2560 shading units, 80 texture mapping units, and 32 raster output units, along with 20 ray tracing cores and 80 tensor cores. Its base clock is 2317 MHz with a boost clock of 2572 MHz, and memory runs at 2500 MHz with 20 Gbps effective speed.

The GPU has 8 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 128-bit bus, providing 320.0 GB/s of bandwidth. Its FP32 performance is 13.17 TFLOPS, with the same FP16 figure at a 1:1 ratio. The pixel rate is 82.30 GPixel/s and the texture rate is 205.8 GTexel/s. The TDP is 130 W with a suggested PSU of 300 W, and it connects via PCIe 5.0 x8.

Benchmark results show the RTX 5050 scoring 17326 in PassMark G3D, 90334 in Geekbench OpenCL, and 89381 in Geekbench Vulkan. The 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score is 2502. The GPU's average benchmark score is 21035, placing it in the 66th percentile of all GPUs. Its nearest rivals include the AMD Radeon RX Vega M GL (21153, 0.6% higher), AMD Radeon HD 8970M (21237, 1% higher), AMD Radeon RX 5600 XT (20713, 1.6% lower), and NVIDIA RTX A4000 Mobile (21379, 1.6% higher).

The Fivem data shows the GPU's 8 GB VRAM is sufficient at 1080p but becomes a limiting factor at higher resolutions. The 4K Ultra result of 30 FPS suggests the GPU is heavily strained at this resolution, likely due to both memory capacity and bandwidth constraints. The 320.0 GB/s bandwidth is modest for 4K gaming, and the 128-bit bus limits the effective memory throughput.

Settings Recommendations

Based on the measured FPS data, the optimal settings preset depends on the target resolution and desired frame rate. At 1920x1080, the High preset offers a good balance with 106 FPS average, while Ultra still provides 82 FPS. For users prioritizing frame rate, the Low preset at 168 FPS is the fastest option, but Medium at 132 FPS provides a more visually rich experience with only a modest performance cost.

At 2560x1440, the High preset averages 70 FPS, which is playable for most users. The Medium preset at 87 FPS offers a better margin for frame rate fluctuations, as indicated by the min/max range of 74 to 100 FPS. The Ultra preset at 54 FPS may be acceptable for users who prioritize visual quality over frame rate, but it falls below the 60 FPS threshold.

At 3840x2160, the Low preset is the only option that averages above 60 FPS (61 FPS). The Medium preset at 48 FPS is playable but not ideal, and the High and Ultra presets at 39 and 30 FPS respectively are marginal for smooth gameplay. For 4K, users should stick to Low or Medium settings to maintain reasonable performance.

The data suggests that the Medium preset offers the best overall experience across resolutions, providing a reasonable visual compromise while maintaining frame rates that are at least within playable ranges. At 1080p, Medium delivers 132 FPS with a tight min/max range, indicating stable performance. At 1440p, Medium stays above 60 FPS with an 87 FPS average. At 4K, Medium drops to 48 FPS, which is the highest average achievable at that resolution while keeping settings above Low.

Resolution Scaling

The FPS drop from 1080p to 4K reveals important information about the limiting component in this combo. At 1080p Low, the system averages 168 FPS, while at 4K Low, it averages 61 FPS. This represents a 64% reduction in frame rate. At Medium settings, the drop is from 132 FPS at 1080p to 48 FPS at 4K, a 64% reduction. At High, the drop is from 106 to 39 FPS, a 63% reduction. At Ultra, the drop is from 82 to 30 FPS, a 63% reduction.

The consistency of this scaling across presets (63-64% reduction) indicates that the GPU is the primary limiting factor at higher resolutions. The CPU's performance remains constant regardless of resolution, so the frame rate decline is attributable to the GPU's rendering workload increasing with pixel count. The RTX 5050's 8 GB VRAM and 320.0 GB/s bandwidth are likely the key constraints at 4K, as the GPU must manage larger textures and more memory traffic.

The scaling from 1080p to 1440p shows a smaller but still significant drop. For example, Low settings drop from 168 to 110 FPS (35% reduction), and Ultra drops from 82 to 54 FPS (34% reduction). This pattern is typical of a GPU-bound scenario, where the CPU has enough headroom to feed the GPU at lower resolutions but the GPU becomes saturated as resolution increases.

The data indicates that this combo is best suited for 1080p and 1440p gaming, where the GPU can maintain high frame rates across most settings. At 4K, the system is only viable on Low settings, and even then barely exceeds 60 FPS. Users targeting 4K with this hardware should expect to use lower presets or accept reduced frame rates.
