Fivem

The Intel Core i5-12400F and AMD Radeon RX 9060 combination delivers a playable, if not universally smooth, experience in Fivem, with performance heavily dictated by resolution and graphical preset. The CPU’s 6 cores and 12 threads, running at a base clock of 2.50 GHz and a boost clock of 4.40 GHz, provide a solid foundation for the game's multi-threaded workload. Its 18 MB of shared L3 cache and dual-channel memory support (DDR4 and DDR5) contribute to responsive frame pacing. In synthetic benchmarks, the processor achieves a multi-thread score of 12,380 in Cinebench R23 and 19,433 in Passmark, placing it at the 73rd percentile among all CPUs. This level of throughput ensures that the processor is rarely the primary bottleneck at lower resolutions, allowing the GPU to flex its capabilities.

However, the CPU's single-thread performance, with a Cinebench R23 score of 1,680 and a Passmark single-thread score of 3,481, is more modest. This is a critical detail for Fivem, a multiplayer modification that often relies on a limited number of threads for game logic and asset streaming. The data suggests that while the i5-12400F can feed the Radeon RX 9060 adequately at 1080p, its influence on frame rates becomes more apparent as the GPU load decreases. The processor’s 65W TDP and Intel Socket 1700 platform are standard for a mid-range desktop build, and its active production status indicates it remains a relevant option. Compared to its nearest rivals, the i5-12400F’s average benchmark score of 19,039 is essentially identical to the AMD Ryzen 5 7535HS (19,047, a 0% delta) and the Intel Core 3 201E (19,056, a -0.1% delta), confirming its position in the upper mid-range tier of processors.

How This Combo Ranks

Within the database of tested Fivem configurations, this specific pairing of the Intel Core i5-12400F and AMD Radeon RX 9060 holds a combo rank of 1,714 out of 3,005 possible combos. This places the system in the 57th percentile of all tested setups, indicating a slightly above-average performance profile for the game. The ranking reflects a balance where neither component is a standout performer in its class, but they work in concert to avoid a catastrophic bottleneck. The GPU, with an average benchmark score of 16,014, sits at the 59th percentile among all GPUs, while the CPU is at the 73rd percentile. This asymmetry suggests that the graphics card is the more limiting factor in this pairing, a hypothesis supported by the frame rate scaling across resolutions.

The GPU's nearest rivals in the database include the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 Ti, which scores 16,129 (a -0.7% delta from the RX 9060), and the AMD Radeon RX 7700, which scores 15,852 (a 1% delta). This places the RX 9060 in a competitive bracket, roughly equivalent to last-generation mid-range offerings. The combo's rank is not determined by raw component scores alone, but by how they perform within the specific engine and asset load of Fivem. The data suggests that this system is well-matched for 1080p and 1440p gaming, where the CPU can maintain high frame rates and the GPU can push the visuals, but it falls short of top-tier status due to the GPU's limitations at higher resolutions.

Resolution Scaling

The measured FPS data reveals a clear and predictable pattern of scaling as resolution increases, with the limiting component shifting accordingly. At 1920x1080, the system demonstrates its highest level of performance, with average frame rates ranging from 175 FPS on Low settings to 86 FPS on Ultra. The gap between the Low and Medium presets (175 FPS vs 138 FPS) is substantial, while the drop from High to Ultra (111 FPS to 86 FPS) is more controlled. This behavior indicates that at 1080p, the CPU is capable of driving the GPU to its near-maximum output, and the performance ceiling is primarily dictated by the graphics card's fill rate and shader processing capabilities.

Moving to 2560x1440, the average frame rates drop significantly. The Low preset yields 115 FPS, which is a 34% reduction from the 1080p Low score. This proportionally larger decrease compared to the pixel count increase (1.78x pixels) suggests that the GPU is starting to become a more significant constraint. The Ultra preset at 1440p produces 56 FPS, which is a 35% drop from the 1080p Ultra score. At 3840x2160, the trend accelerates. The Low preset average is 64 FPS, a 44% drop from the 1440p Low score, and the Ultra preset average falls to 31 FPS, a 45% drop. The data points to the RX 9060's 8 GB of GDDR6 memory and 128-bit bus being a limiting factor at 4K, as the pixel throughput demand outpaces the GPU's ability to process it. The CPU's role diminishes at 4K, as the frame rates are largely governed by the graphics card's raw compute power.

A: The combo is ranked 1,714 out of 3,005 tested combos. This places it in the 57th percentile, which means it performs better than a majority of systems tested. While not a top-tier configuration, this ranking indicates a solidly above-average setup for Fivem.

Q: How much VRAM does the Radeon RX 9060 have, and what is the memory bus width?

A: The GPU is equipped with 8 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 128-bit bus. The memory clock is 2250 MHz, providing a bandwidth of 288.0 GB/s. This configuration is a likely contributor to the significant performance drop at 4K, where the memory capacity and bandwidth may not be sufficient for high-resolution textures.

Settings Recommendations

For the best balance of visual fidelity and playable frame rates, the High preset at 2560x1440 is the recommended starting point. The measured average of 73 FPS provides a smooth experience for most players, and it is a significant improvement over the 56 FPS average on Ultra. If a higher frame rate is preferred for competitive play, the Medium preset at 1440p, with an average of 91 FPS, is a strong choice that sacrifices some visual quality for a more responsive feel.

At 1920x1080, the Ultra preset is viable, with an average of 86 FPS, allowing players to experience the game at its highest visual settings without dropping below a generally smooth threshold. For those with high refresh rate monitors (144Hz or higher), the Low preset at 1080p, which averages 175 FPS, is the only option that comes close to saturating such a display, but it comes with a significant visual compromise. The 4K resolution is not recommended for this combo. Even the Low preset at 4K, with an average of 64 FPS, is less stable than the 1440p Medium preset. The Ultra preset at 4K, at 31 FPS, is generally unplayable. The data indicates that the system's performance sweet spot lies between 1080p Medium and 1440p High, where the CPU and GPU balance is most effective.

GPU Role

The AMD Radeon RX 9060 is the primary driver of visual performance in this system, and its specifications dictate the frame rate ceilings observed in the data. Built on the RDNA 4.0 architecture with the Navi 44 chip, the GPU operates at a game clock of 2400 MHz and a boost clock of 2990 MHz. It features 1,792 shading units, 112 TMUs, and 64 ROPs, which combine to deliver a peak FP32 performance of 21.43 TFLOPS. These raw compute figures are directly responsible for the system's ability to render complex scenes at high resolutions.

The GPU's memory subsystem is a critical factor in its performance scaling. The 8 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 128-bit bus provides a bandwidth of 288.0 GB/s. This is sufficient for 1080p and 1440p gaming, but the data shows a sharp decline in performance at 4K. The 44% drop in average FPS from 1440p Low (115 FPS) to 4K Low (64 FPS) is more than the pixel count increase alone would suggest, indicating that the memory bandwidth is a limiting factor. The GPU's percentile rank of 59 and its average benchmark score of 16,014 position it as a mid-range performer. Its nearest rival, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 Ti, has a slightly higher average score, confirming that the RX 9060 sits in a competitive but not class-leading segment. The GPU's support for DirectX 12 Ultimate and Vulkan 1.4 ensures compatibility with modern rendering features, but its performance in Fivem is ultimately constrained by its memory bandwidth and shader throughput at higher resolutions.
