Fivem

The Intel Core i5-12400F paired with the AMD Radeon RX 6800 XT delivers a compelling 1080p and 1440p experience in Fivem, but the data reveals a steep performance cliff when pushing toward 4K. The measured FPS shows the system is capable of triple-digit frame rates at lower resolutions, yet the demands of 4K Ultra quickly overwhelm the combination, highlighting where the GPU’s architectural limits become the primary bottleneck in this multiplayer title.

Resolution Scaling

The transition from 1920x1080 to 3840x2160 is punishing across all settings, but the magnitude of the drop varies significantly depending on the graphics preset. At Low settings, the system falls from 241.1 FPS at 1080p to 87.6 FPS at 4K — a dramatic 63.7% reduction in frame rate that underscores how pixel count alone can saturate even a high-end GPU. The Medium preset follows a similar trajectory, dropping from 187.7 FPS to 67.9 FPS, which represents a 63.8% loss.

Interestingly, the High preset shows a slightly less severe relative decline, going from 149 FPS at 1080p to 100.6 FPS at 1440p, then down to 55.6 FPS at 4K. That 4K figure is barely above playable thresholds, suggesting the GPU is being pushed to its limits. The Ultra preset is the most telling: 118.8 FPS at 1080p collapses to 78.3 FPS at 1440p and then plunges to 40.3 FPS at 4K — a 66.1% drop from the baseline. This pattern indicates that while the RX 6800 XT has substantial raw compute, the 4K Ultra workload in Fivem exceeds its comfortable operating range.

What the scaling data implies is that the limiting component shifts as resolution rises. At 1080p, the CPU’s 6 cores and 12 threads are likely keeping pace, but the GPU’s shading units and memory bandwidth become the constraining factor as pixel throughput demands escalate. The 512.0 GB/s bandwidth on a 256-bit bus appears adequate for 1440p but struggles to feed the 4608 shading units efficiently at 4K, particularly when higher settings increase texture and effect complexity.

Settings Recommendations

The measured rows point to Medium as the sweet spot for this combination, especially for users targeting high refresh rates. At 1440p Medium, the system delivers 127.6 FPS, which comfortably exceeds the 100.6 FPS High preset and maintains a substantial margin over the 78.3 FPS Ultra figure. The jump from Medium to High costs 27 FPS at 1440p, while the leap to Ultra costs another 49.3 FPS — diminishing returns that suggest Medium offers the best balance of visual fidelity and performance.

For 1080p users, the choice is less critical since even Ultra hits 118.8 FPS, but the data shows Medium at 187.7 FPS provides headroom for demanding multiplayer scenarios where player counts and dynamic events can cause frame dips. The Low preset’s 241.1 FPS at 1080p is remarkable but likely sacrifices too much visual quality for competitive advantage.

At 4K, the recommendation becomes more nuanced. Medium’s 67.9 FPS is playable, but High’s 55.6 FPS hovers near the edge of smoothness, and Ultra’s 40.3 FPS falls below what most gamers would consider acceptable for a fast-paced multiplayer title. The measured data suggests that 4K users should stick to Medium or Low, with Low’s 87.6 FPS being the only preset that provides a genuinely fluid experience at this resolution.

GPU Role

The AMD Radeon RX 6800 XT is clearly the dominant component in this pairing, with its 16 GB of GDDR6 memory and 512.0 GB/s bandwidth providing the foundation for high-resolution performance. The GPU’s 72 ray accelerators and 128 ROPs contribute to its 288.0 GPixel/s pixel rate, which explains why 1080p and 1440p frame rates remain so high. However, the 4K results reveal that the 256-bit memory bus becomes a limiting factor when the pixel workload quadruples.

The clock behavior is noteworthy: the base clock of 1825 MHz and boost clock of 2250 MHz, with a game clock of 2015 MHz, suggest the card can sustain high frequencies under load. Yet the 4K Ultra result of 40.3 FPS indicates that memory bandwidth, not clock speed, is the primary constraint. The 2000 MHz memory clock translating to 16 Gbps effective is substantial, but it only yields 512.0 GB/s across the 256-bit interface — a figure that modern high-end GPUs have long since surpassed.

The GPU’s 87th percentile ranking among all GPUs and its average benchmark score of 49982 place it in strong company, but its nearest rivals tell a more nuanced story. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti SUPER trails by 2.6% in average score, while the Intel Arc A550M leads by 0.5% — these margins are small enough that Fivem’s specific workload could tip the balance in either direction. The data suggests that for this game, the RX 6800 XT’s strengths in raw compute do not fully translate to 4K Ultra performance.

CPU Role

The Intel Core i5-12400F brings 6 cores and 12 threads based on the Alder Lake architecture, with a base clock of 2.50 GHz and boost clock of 4.40 GHz. Its 18 MB shared L3 cache and 1.25 MB per-core L2 cache provide ample data for game logic, but the 3dmark benchmarks reveal a clear pattern: the single-thread score of 909 and 2-thread score of 1699 show strong per-core performance, while the 16-thread score of 5895 indicates the CPU scales reasonably well across its 12 threads.

The CPU’s 77th percentile ranking and average benchmark score of 19221 place it nearly identical to the Intel Core i7-8700K (0.1% difference) and just 0.3% ahead of the Intel Core i5-1335U. This suggests that in Fivem, where multiplayer interactions and dynamic scripting can be CPU-intensive, the i5-12400F is a capable but not exceptional partner. The cinebench r23 multicore score of 16518 and single-core score of 2332 indicate balanced performance that should not bottleneck the GPU at lower resolutions.

However, the 4K results suggest the CPU is not the primary constraint at higher resolutions — the GPU’s pixel throughput limits dominate. The fact that the CPU’s nearest rival, the AMD Ryzen 5 7533HS, trails by 0.7% in average score, while the AMD EPYC 7773X leads by 1.3%, shows this processor sits in a competitive middle ground. For Fivem, the 6-core/12-thread configuration is likely sufficient for the game’s server-side and client-side logic, but users with heavy background tasks may notice limitations.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the system delivers exceptional performance across all presets. Low settings achieve 241.1 FPS, Medium reaches 187.7 FPS, High hits 149 FPS, and Ultra still manages 118.8 FPS. These numbers indicate that at 1080p, the RX 6800 XT has ample headroom, and the CPU keeps up with the GPU’s output.

The 2560x1440 results show a predictable decline: Low drops to 158.4 FPS, Medium to 127.6 FPS, High to 100.6 FPS, and Ultra to 78.3 FPS. The 1440p Medium figure is particularly notable as it maintains a high frame rate while offering better visual quality than Low. The gap between High and Ultra at 1440p (22.3 FPS) is smaller than the gap between Medium and High (27 FPS), suggesting that the Ultra preset’s additional effects are relatively inexpensive at this resolution.

At 3840x2160, the performance cliff becomes evident. Low settings produce 87.6 FPS, which is playable, but Medium drops to 67.9 FPS, High to 55.6 FPS, and Ultra to a marginal 40.3 FPS. The 4K Low result shows that even with minimal settings, the GPU’s bandwidth is taxed, and the 47.3 FPS difference between Low and Ultra at this resolution underscores the extreme cost of high-quality rendering at 4K.

How This Combo Ranks

The combo ranks 637th out of 1792 tested combinations, placing it in the 64.5th percentile of all systems tested. This positioning suggests that while the hardware is well above average, it is not among the elite configurations for Fivem. The rank reflects the balance between the CPU’s 77th percentile and the GPU’s 87th percentile, with the overall performance tempered by the game’s specific demands.

Given that the GPU ranks in the 87th percentile and the CPU in the 77th, the combo’s 637th rank indicates that Fivem may favor other hardware configurations. The RX 6800 XT’s nearest rivals — the Intel Arc A550M (0.5% faster) and NVIDIA RTX A1000 (1.7% faster) — suggest that alternative GPUs could potentially achieve better Fivem-specific results. Similarly, the CPU’s close competition with the Intel Core i7-8700K and Intel Core i5-1335U implies that processor choice has limited impact on the final ranking.

The 1792 total combos provide context: being in the top 35.6% is respectable, but the data shows that higher-ranked systems likely pair more powerful GPUs with similar or better CPUs. The 4K Ultra result of 40.3 FPS is particularly damaging to the overall rank, as it represents the most demanding scenario in the dataset. For users prioritizing high refresh rates at 1080p or 1440p, this combo performs excellently, but its 4K limitations cap its potential ranking in a game that scales heavily with resolution.
