Fivem

The Intel Core i5-12400 is a 6-core, 12-thread desktop 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, and its 18 MB of shared L3 cache helps feed the 6 P-cores. In synthetic benchmarks, this CPU demonstrates a strong balance between single-threaded and multi-threaded performance: its 3DMark single-thread score of 910 and Cinebench R23 single-core score of 2249 indicate solid per-core capability, while its Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 15935 and PassMark multithread score of 18747 show it can handle heavy workloads. The CPU's average benchmark score of 19850 places it at the 77th percentile of all CPUs, meaning it outperforms the majority of processors in the database. Its nearest rivals include the Intel Core i7-9700 (avg score 19831, deltaPct 0.1% faster) and the Intel Core i7-8700 (avg score 19894, deltaPct 0.2% slower), showing the i5-12400 sits in a tightly contested performance tier. For a game like Fivem, which is a multiplayer modification platform that often relies on single-thread performance for simulation logic and physics, the i5-12400's strong single-core results (910 in 3DMark single-thread) are particularly relevant. The 12 threads help maintain frame pacing when many players are in close proximity, and the boost clock of 4.40 GHz ensures that the CPU can respond quickly to sudden spikes in game logic demand. The data suggests this processor is neither a bottleneck at high resolutions nor a limiting factor at lower settings where the GPU dominates.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti is a Blackwell 2.0 architecture GPU built on TSMC's 5 nm process, with 45,600 million transistors and a die size of 378 mm². It features 16 GB of GDDR7 memory on a 256-bit bus, delivering 896.0 GB/s of bandwidth. The GPU's base clock is 2295 MHz with a boost clock of 2452 MHz, and it contains 8960 shading units, 280 TMUs, and 96 ROPs. Its FP32 performance is 43.94 TFLOPS, and it achieves a pixel rate of 235.4 GPixel/s. In synthetic benchmarks, the RTX 5070 Ti scores 32974 in PassMark G3D and 231226 in Geekbench OpenCL, with a 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 6604. The GPU's average benchmark score of 52086 places it at the 87th percentile of all GPUs, which is notably higher than the CPU's 77th percentile. Its nearest rival, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080, has an identical average score of 52085 (deltaPct 0%), indicating the 5070 Ti is essentially tied with that previous-generation card on aggregate benchmarks, while the AMD Radeon RX 7700S scores 52505 (deltaPct -0.8%, slower). For Fivem, the 16 GB VRAM capacity is significant because multiplayer servers often load many custom assets, vehicles, and map modifications simultaneously; the high memory bandwidth of 896.0 GB/s ensures that texture streaming does not cause stutter. The GPU's boost clock of 2452 MHz provides the raw throughput needed to drive high frame rates, and its 87th percentile ranking suggests it can handle the game's rendering demands with headroom to spare at most settings.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the system delivers its highest absolute performance. With Low settings, the average FPS is 304.9, which is exceptionally high and indicates the GPU is not constrained by the CPU at this resolution. Moving to Medium settings, the average drops to 253 FPS, a 17% reduction from Low. High settings yield 201.1 FPS, while Ultra settings produce 152.8 FPS. The gap from Low to Ultra at 1080p is 152.1 FPS, showing that even the most demanding preset remains well above playable thresholds. The step from Medium to High is 51.9 FPS, and from High to Ultra is 48.3 FPS, suggesting diminishing returns as settings increase.

At 2560x1440, the performance scales down predictably. Low settings average 209.4 FPS, which is still very high. Medium settings produce 162.4 FPS, a 47 FPS drop from Low. High settings average 128.8 FPS, and Ultra settings drop to 102.3 FPS. The difference between 1440p Low and 1440p Ultra is 107.1 FPS, and the transition from High to Ultra costs 26.5 FPS. At this resolution, the system maintains over 100 FPS even at the highest preset, which suggests the RTX 5070 Ti's 16 GB VRAM and 896.0 GB/s bandwidth are sufficient for Fivem's asset-heavy environments.

At 3840x2160, the demands of 4K become evident. Low settings average 114.9 FPS, which is still quite playable. Medium settings drop to 92.8 FPS, a 22.1 FPS reduction. High settings produce 75.3 FPS, and Ultra settings fall to 55.7 FPS. The spread from Low to Ultra at 4K is 59.2 FPS, and the step from Medium to High is 17.5 FPS. Notably, the drop from High to Ultra is 19.6 FPS, which is a larger penalty than the Medium-to-High gap, indicating that Ultra settings at 4K place significant strain on the GPU. Across all resolutions, the pattern is consistent: Low settings provide the highest frame rates, and each successive preset reduces the average FPS by a meaningful margin.

How This Combo Ranks

The Intel Core i5-12400 + NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti combination holds rank 157 out of 1792 tested combos for Fivem. This places the system in the top 8.8% of all configurations in the database, which is a strong result given the game's multiplayer nature and its tendency to be CPU-bound in dense scenarios. The CPU's 77th percentile ranking among all processors and the GPU's 87th percentile ranking among all GPUs suggest that the graphics card is the stronger component in this pairing. In synthetic benchmarks, the CPU's average score of 19850 is nearly identical to its nearest rivals, with the i7-9700 at 19831 (deltaPct 0.1% faster) and the i7-8700 at 19894 (deltaPct 0.2% slower). The GPU's average score of 52086 is effectively tied with the RTX 4080 at 52085 (deltaPct 0%), while the RX 7700S at 52505 is 0.8% slower. These benchmark relationships indicate that the combo's ranking is driven more by the GPU's strong absolute performance than by any CPU advantage. Given that Fivem can be heavily influenced by server-side factors and player count, the 157th rank out of 1792 combos suggests this hardware pairing is well-suited to handle both the rendering load and the CPU-side game logic that multiplayer servers generate.

Settings Recommendations

The measured FPS data provides clear guidance on which preset offers the best experience for this hardware combination. At 3840x2160, the High preset delivers 75.3 FPS, which is above the 60 FPS threshold commonly considered smooth for most players. The Medium preset at 92.8 FPS offers more headroom for demanding scenes, while Ultra at 55.7 FPS dips below ideal smoothness. For 4K users, High is the recommended preset because it balances visual quality with a playable frame rate, and the step to Ultra costs 19.6 FPS for relatively modest visual gains.

At 2560x1440, all presets deliver playable results. Ultra averages 102.3 FPS, which is smooth for most displays. High at 128.8 FPS provides additional margin, and Medium at 162.4 FPS is excellent for high-refresh-rate monitors. For 1440p, the High preset is the optimal choice because it maintains a high frame rate (128.8 FPS) while preserving visual fidelity, and the jump to Ultra only reduces performance by 26.5 FPS, which is acceptable for those who prioritize image quality.

At 1920x1080, even Ultra settings produce 152.8 FPS, which is above the refresh rate of many 144 Hz monitors. Medium at 253 FPS and High at 201.1 FPS are both exceptionally smooth. For 1080p users, Ultra is the recommended preset because it delivers over 150 FPS while providing the best visual quality, and the GPU has ample headroom. The data shows that across all resolutions, the system never drops below 55.7 FPS even at Ultra 4K, but the High preset at each resolution consistently offers the best balance of performance and visual quality, with the sole exception of 1080p where Ultra is equally viable.
