Fivem

The Intel Core i5-12400F paired with the AMD Radeon RX 6600 delivers a solid 1080p experience in Fivem, but the data shows a steep performance cliff as resolution climbs. This combination ranks in the 1431st position out of 1792 tested combos, placing it in the lower-mid tier of the database. The measured frames per second figures reveal a system that is clearly optimized for 1080p gaming, with diminishing returns at higher resolutions.

Settings Recommendations

The benchmark results for this combination show a clear hierarchy across the four tested presets. At 1920x1080, the Low preset delivers an average of 143.9 FPS, which is the highest measured figure across all resolutions and settings. Medium follows at 114 FPS, High at 93.6 FPS, and Ultra drops to 74 FPS. The gap between Low and Ultra at 1080p is substantial, representing a 49% reduction in average frame rate when maxing out the visual quality.

For players prioritizing competitive smoothness, the Low preset at 1080p is the only configuration that approaches high-refresh-rate territory. The 143.9 FPS average leaves headroom for the frame drops common in multiplayer scenarios. The Medium preset at 114 FPS remains playable and offers a better visual balance, but the data indicates that the step from Medium to High costs roughly 20 FPS while providing modest graphical gains.

At 2560x1440, the situation changes dramatically. The Low preset averages 97.7 FPS, which remains respectable, but Medium falls to 74.9 FPS and High to 59.9 FPS. Ultra at 1440p manages only 46.4 FPS, which is borderline for smooth gameplay. The 3840x2160 results are disappointing across the board: Low averages 56.1 FPS, Medium 43.8 FPS, High 32.9 FPS, and Ultra drops to 25.4 FPS. Based on these measured rows, the optimal experience is the Medium preset at 1080p, offering 114 FPS with acceptable visual fidelity. Players with 144Hz monitors should consider Low at 1080p for the full 143.9 FPS potential.

How This Combo Ranks

The combo rank of 1431 out of 1792 places this system in the bottom 20% of tested configurations for Fivem. This is a notable finding because the individual components do not rank poorly in their respective categories. The Intel Core i5-12400F sits at the 77th percentile among all CPUs, with an average benchmark score of 19221. Its nearest rivals include the Intel Core i7-8700K, which scores 19210 with a delta of 0.1%, and the Intel Core i5-1335U at 19167 with a 0.3% delta. The AMD Ryzen 5 7533HS scores 19364, putting it 0.7% ahead, while the AMD EPYC 7773X trails slightly at 18979, a 1.3% delta.

The AMD Radeon RX 6600 holds the 69th percentile among all GPUs, with an average benchmark score of 25235. Its nearest rivals are remarkably close: the AMD Radeon 890M scores 25246 with a 0% delta, the AMD Radeon RX 580 2048SP scores 25287 with a -0.2% delta, the AMD Radeon RX 6700M scores 25180 with a 0.2% delta, and the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 Ti scores 25120 with a 0.5% delta. These margins are negligible in synthetic benchmarks.

Despite respectable component-level rankings, the combination underperforms in Fivem specifically. This suggests the game's multiplayer workload does not scale well with this particular hardware pairing. The CPU's 6 cores and 12 threads with a boost clock of 4.40 GHz should theoretically handle Fivem's server-side calculations, but the measured results indicate a bottleneck that prevents the system from reaching higher percentile positions in this title.

GPU Role

The AMD Radeon RX 6600 brings 8 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 128-bit bus, delivering 224.0 GB/s of bandwidth. The memory clock runs at 1750 MHz with 14 Gbps effective speed. The GPU's base clock is 1626 MHz, with a boost clock of 2491 MHz and a game clock of 2044 MHz. These specifications place the card in the mid-range segment, and the Fivem results reflect this positioning.

The GPU's 1792 shading units and 64 ROPs handle the game's rendering load adequately at 1080p, but the 128-bit memory bus becomes a limiting factor at higher resolutions. The 8 GB VRAM capacity is sufficient for Fivem's texture requirements, but the bandwidth constraint shows in the 4K results. The measured data shows the GPU's percentile ranking at 69, and its synthetic benchmarks include a Passmark G3D score of 15096 and a 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 1492.

In Fivem specifically, the GPU appears to be the primary constraint at 4K, where even the Low preset averages only 56.1 FPS. The CPU's synthetic scores — including a Cinebench R23 multicore score of 16518 and single-core score of 2332 — suggest it can feed the GPU adequately at lower resolutions. The 1080p results, where the system achieves 143.9 FPS at Low settings, indicate the GPU can deliver high frame rates when the resolution does not overwhelm its memory bandwidth.

FAQ

Q: What is the best resolution for this CPU and GPU combo in Fivem?

A: The data shows 1920x1080 is the sweet spot. At this resolution, the Low preset averages 143.9 FPS, Medium 114 FPS, and High 93.6 FPS. Moving to 2560x1440 drops the High preset to 59.9 FPS, and 3840x2160 sees even the Low preset fall to 56.1 FPS.

Q: How does this combo rank compared to other tested configurations?

A: This combination ranks 1431st out of 1792 tested combos in Fivem. This places it in the lower 20% of all tested systems, despite the CPU ranking at the 77th percentile and the GPU at the 69th percentile in their respective individual benchmarks.

Q: Which preset offers the best balance of performance and visual quality?

A: The Medium preset at 1080p, averaging 114 FPS, provides the best measured balance. It delivers 30% more performance than High (93.6 FPS) while avoiding the visual compromises of Low. The 1440p Medium preset at 74.9 FPS is also viable for players with lower refresh rate monitors.

Q: Is the CPU or GPU the limiting factor in this system?

A: The GPU becomes the limiting factor at higher resolutions. At 4K, the Low preset only achieves 56.1 FPS, while the CPU's synthetic scores suggest it can handle more. At 1080p, the system reaches 143.9 FPS, indicating the GPU can perform well when resolution demands are lower.

Q: How does the RX 6600 compare to its nearest GPU rivals?

A: The RX 6600's average benchmark score of 25235 is nearly identical to the AMD Radeon 890M (25246, 0% delta) and the AMD Radeon RX 6700M (25180, 0.2% delta). The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 Ti scores 25120, a 0.5% delta, while the AMD Radeon RX 580 2048SP scores 25287, a -0.2% delta.

Q: Can this system handle 4K gaming in Fivem?

A: The measured data indicates 4K is not practical for smooth gameplay. The best 4K result is 56.1 FPS at Low settings, with Medium at 43.8 FPS, High at 32.9 FPS, and Ultra at 25.4 FPS. These figures fall below the 60 FPS threshold typically desired for multiplayer titles.

Resolution Scaling

The resolution scaling behavior reveals a system with limited headroom. From 1080p to 1440p, the Low preset drops from 143.9 FPS to 97.7 FPS, a 32% reduction. The Medium preset falls from 114 FPS to 74.9 FPS, a 34% decline. High drops from 93.6 FPS to 59.9 FPS, a 36% decrease, and Ultra falls from 74 FPS to 46.4 FPS, a 37% reduction. These consistent drops indicate the GPU is being progressively saturated as pixel count increases.

The transition from 1440p to 4K is more punishing. Low falls from 97.7 FPS to 56.1 FPS, a 43% decline. Medium drops from 74.9 FPS to 43.8 FPS, a 42% reduction. High goes from 59.9 FPS to 32.9 FPS, a 45% drop. Ultra suffers the most, falling from 46.4 FPS to 25.4 FPS, a 45% reduction. This steepening decline at 4K points to the GPU's memory bandwidth as the critical limitation.

The scaling pattern suggests the CPU is not the primary bottleneck in this configuration. If the CPU were limiting performance, the frame rate would show less variation across resolutions. Instead, the consistent 30-45% drops as resolution increases indicate the RX 6600's 224.0 GB/s bandwidth and 8 GB VRAM are the constraining factors. The CPU's strong single-thread performance, evidenced by its 2332 Cinebench R23 single-core score, allows it to maintain frame delivery at lower resolutions, but the GPU cannot sustain that throughput when pixel count quadruples from 1080p to 4K. The result is a system that excels at 1080p gaming but requires significant settings reductions to remain playable at 1440p, with 4K being feasible only at Low settings.
