Fivem

Fivem with the Intel Core i5-12400F and NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080 Ti demonstrates a wide performance envelope, scaling from highly playable at 1080p to demanding at 4K. The measured data shows a clear hierarchy across settings and resolutions, with the combo ranking in the 1062nd position out of 1792 tested configurations for this title. This analysis breaks down the measured frame rates and contextualizes them against the hardware's known capabilities and rival scores.

Settings Recommendations

The optimal experience depends on the target resolution, but the data consistently favors Medium settings as the balanced choice. At 1080p, Medium delivers 140 FPS, which is 26.3 FPS higher than High (113.7 FPS) and 52.5 FPS higher than Ultra (87.5 FPS). The jump from Medium to Ultra yields a substantial 52.5 FPS drop, indicating that Ultra incurs a heavy cost for marginal visual gains. For most users at 1080p, Medium provides the best combination of smoothness and fidelity, as it stays well above the 60 FPS threshold while retaining more detail than Low.

At 1440p, Medium again stands out with 93.5 FPS, comfortably above the 60 FPS playability line. High mode at 72.1 FPS is still playable, but the 21.4 FPS gap to Medium suggests that the extra detail is not worth the frame loss for competitive or fast-paced play. Low mode at 117.5 FPS offers a high-refresh experience, but Medium is the recommended preset for those who want a visual upgrade without sacrificing smoothness. Ultra at 56 FPS dips below the 60 FPS mark, making it less ideal for serious play.

For 4K, the situation changes dramatically. No preset reaches the 60 FPS threshold. Medium at 51.4 FPS and High at 42.6 FPS are the only options that approach playability, while Low at 63.2 FPS is the sole preset that breaks the 60 FPS barrier, though it does so with significantly reduced visual quality. Given that Ultra at 29.5 FPS is nearly unplayable, the recommendation for 4K is Low if frame rate is the priority, or Medium for a compromise between visual fidelity and performance. The data shows no preset at 4K offers both high detail and smooth motion.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080 Ti is the clear bottleneck at higher resolutions, evidenced by the steep FPS declines from 1080p to 4K. Its 11 GB of GDDR5X memory, running at 11 Gbps effective on a 352-bit bus, provides a bandwidth of 484.4 GB/s, which is substantial for its era. The GPU’s base clock of 1481 MHz and boost clock of 1582 MHz are the driving forces behind its performance, but the data shows that these clocks are insufficient for 4K Ultra. The GPU's pixel rate of 139.2 GPixel/s and texture rate of 354.4 GTexel/s are solid figures, yet they translate into an average of only 29.5 FPS at 4K Ultra.

The GTX 1080 Ti's compute capabilities, with 3584 shading units and an FP32 throughput of 11.34 TFLOPS, are well-suited for 1080p and 1440p gaming. The measured results confirm this, as the card excels at lower resolutions where its raw power is less constrained. However, the GPU’s percentile rank of 61 against all GPUs indicates it is a mid-tier performer in the broader landscape, and its nearest rival, the NVIDIA TITAN Xp, scores only 1.1% higher on average, showing that the 1080 Ti is near the top of its immediate class. The GPU’s average benchmark score of 19402 is nearly identical to its nearest rival, the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 780, which has a deltaPct of 0, meaning performance parity in synthetic tests does not translate to equal frame rates in Fivem, where the 1080 Ti’s memory bandwidth proves decisive.

Resolution Scaling

The FPS drop from 1080p to 4K is steep and consistent across all settings, indicating that the GPU is the limiting component at higher resolutions. At Low settings, the average FPS falls from 183 at 1080p to 117.5 at 1440p, a 35.8% reduction, and then to 63.2 at 4K, a further 46.2% reduction from 1440p. This scaling is typical for a GPU-bound scenario, as the pixel count quadruples from 1080p to 4K, demanding more from the memory bus and shading units.

At Medium settings, the drop from 140 FPS at 1080p to 93.5 FPS at 1440p is a 33.2% decrease, and then to 51.4 FPS at 4K, a 45.0% decrease from 1440p. The consistent percentage drops across settings suggest that the CPU, the Intel Core i5-12400F, is not the primary bottleneck at any resolution. The CPU’s 6 cores and 12 threads, with a boost clock of 4.40 GHz, are sufficient to feed the GPU at 1080p, but the GPU’s limits become apparent as resolution increases. The data shows that at 1080p Low, the FPS of 183 is high enough that the CPU might begin to matter, but the scaling pattern indicates the GPU is still the dominant factor overall.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the results are as follows: Low settings produce an average of 183 FPS, Medium delivers 140 FPS, High achieves 113.7 FPS, and Ultra drops to 87.5 FPS. The spread from Low to Ultra is 95.5 FPS, showing that settings have a massive impact at this resolution. The jump from Low to Medium is a 43 FPS loss, whereas the jump from Medium to High is a 26.3 FPS loss, and High to Ultra is another 26.2 FPS loss. This indicates that each tier of settings has a diminishing return on visual quality relative to the frame cost.

At 2560x1440, Low settings average 117.5 FPS, Medium 93.5 FPS, High 72.1 FPS, and Ultra 56 FPS. The gap between Low and Medium is 24 FPS, Medium to High is 21.4 FPS, and High to Ultra is 16.1 FPS. The absolute FPS values are lower than at 1080p, but the relative differences between settings remain similar, reinforcing that the GPU is consistently taxed across settings. At 3840x2160, Low averages 63.2 FPS, Medium 51.4 FPS, High 42.6 FPS, and Ultra 29.5 FPS. The drop from Low to Medium is 11.8 FPS, Medium to High is 8.8 FPS, and High to Ultra is 13.1 FPS. Notably, the 4K Ultra result is the only one below 30 FPS, making it the sole unplayable configuration in this dataset.

How This Combo Ranks

The combo ranks 1062nd out of 1792 tested configurations in Fivem, placing it in the lower-middle tier of performance. This rank reflects the GTX 1080 Ti’s age and the CPU’s mid-range status. The CPU’s average benchmark score of 19221 places it nearly even with its nearest rival, the Intel Core i7-8700K, which has a deltaPct of 0.1, meaning the i5-12400F is effectively tied with that older flagship. The CPU’s percentile rank of 77 against all CPUs shows it is above average in synthetic tests, but in Fivem, the combination’s rank is dragged down by the GPU.

The GPU’s average benchmark score of 19402 is nearly identical to its nearest rival, the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 780, which has a deltaPct of 0, while the AMD Radeon Pro 560X scores 0.1% lower. This synthetic parity does not reflect real-world Fivem performance, where the 1080 Ti’s 11 GB memory capacity allows it to handle higher settings better than older cards with less VRAM. The combo’s rank of 1062 suggests that while the hardware is capable at 1080p and 1440p, it falls behind many modern combinations at 4K, where the GPU’s limitations are most pronounced.
