Fivem

Fivem is a multiplayer modification platform that places unique demands on both processor and graphics hardware, and the data for the Intel Core i5-12400F paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Ti shows a clear performance profile. The measured frame rates across three resolutions and four quality settings indicate a system that scales predictably with workload, though the balance between CPU and GPU shifts significantly depending on the configuration chosen.

Resolution Scaling

The frame rate drop from 1080p to 4K is substantial and reveals the expected transition from a CPU-bound scenario to a GPU-bound one. At 1080p with Low settings, the combo achieves 224.1 FPS, which is the highest recorded value in the dataset. Moving to 1440p Low reduces this to 150.9 FPS, a drop of 73.2 FPS, and at 4K Low the average falls to 84 FPS. This steep decline indicates that at lower resolutions and settings, the RTX 3070 Ti has ample headroom, and the i5-12400F is likely the limiting factor, as the GPU is not being fully utilized.

However, the scaling pattern changes dramatically when settings are increased. At Ultra settings, the 1080p average is 109.8 FPS, which drops to 72.8 FPS at 1440p and then to 40.4 FPS at 4K. The percentage loss from 1080p to 4K at Ultra is roughly 63%, while at Low settings it is approximately 62%. This similar relative reduction suggests that even though the absolute numbers are lower, the GPU becomes the primary bottleneck at higher resolutions regardless of quality preset. The data indicates that at 4K, even the Low preset at 84 FPS is far from the 1440p Low result of 150.9 FPS, confirming that pixel count is the dominant factor in performance degradation for this combination in Fivem.

How This Combo Ranks

Within the benchmark database, this specific pairing of the Intel Core i5-12400F and the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Ti holds a combo rank of 698 out of 1792 tested combinations. This places it in the upper-middle tier of all configurations, meaning it outperforms more than 60% of the tested combos but is not near the top of the charts. The percentile data for the individual components supports this positioning: the CPU sits in the 77th percentile among all processors, while the GPU is in the 74th percentile among all graphics cards.

The nearest rival data for the CPU shows that the i5-12400F is essentially on par with the Intel Core i7-8700K, with an average benchmark score of 19221 versus 19210, a delta of just 0.1%. It also edges out the Intel Core i5-1335U by 0.3% and trails the AMD Ryzen 5 7533HS by 0.7%. For the GPU, the RTX 3070 Ti’s average benchmark score of 30849 is 0.3% ahead of the AMD Radeon RX 590 GME, but 0.8% behind the AMD Radeon RX 6700 and 0.9% behind the NVIDIA Quadro M5000. These small deltas suggest that in synthetic tests, the components are tightly clustered with their immediate rivals, but the measured FPS in Fivem demonstrates how real-world performance can diverge from those averages.

CPU Role

The Intel Core i5-12400F is a 6-core, 12-thread processor based on the Alder Lake architecture, manufactured on a 10 nm process. Its base clock is 2.50 GHz with a boost clock of 4.40 GHz, and it carries 18 MB of shared L3 cache. Synthetic benchmarks show a single-thread score of 909 in 3DMark and 2332 in Cinebench R23, while multi-thread scores reach 5912 in 3DMark max threads and 16518 in Cinebench R23 multicore. These numbers indicate a capable mid-range CPU that handles both lightly-threaded and heavily-threaded workloads competently.

In Fivem, the CPU’s role is most evident at 1080p with Low settings, where the average FPS of 224.1 far exceeds what the GPU would be able to produce if it were the sole constraint. This is a classic sign of a CPU-limited scenario, where the processor is feeding frames faster than the graphics card can render them. The 3DMark 2-thread score of 1699 and single-thread score of 909 suggest that single-core performance is decent, which matters for a game like Fivem that often relies on a few heavily loaded threads for simulation and scripting. The 12 threads provide headroom for background tasks and multiplayer synchronization, but the data shows that at higher resolutions and settings, the CPU is no longer the bottleneck, as the FPS drops align more closely with GPU capability.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The measured FPS data provides a comprehensive view of performance across all combinations of resolution and settings. At 1920x1080, the averages are 224.1 FPS on Low, 177.5 FPS on Medium, 140.9 FPS on High, and 109.8 FPS on Ultra. This shows a consistent decline of roughly 20-25% per step up in quality, indicating a smooth scaling curve. The gap between Low and Ultra at 1080p is 114.3 FPS, which is the largest absolute difference in the entire dataset.

At 2560x1440, the averages are 150.9 FPS on Low, 119 FPS on Medium, 92.8 FPS on High, and 72.8 FPS on Ultra. The drop from 1080p to 1440p is most pronounced at Low settings (a loss of 73.2 FPS) and least pronounced at Ultra (a loss of 37 FPS). This narrowing of the gap at higher settings suggests that as the GPU becomes more stressed, the CPU has less influence on the final frame rate. At 3840x2160, the averages are 84 FPS on Low, 65 FPS on Medium, 51.8 FPS on High, and 40.4 FPS on Ultra. The 4K results are uniformly below 90 FPS, and even the Low preset struggles to maintain 60 FPS, indicating that 4K gaming with this combo requires careful settings management to achieve smooth gameplay.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Ti is built on the Ampere architecture with a GA104 chip, manufactured on an 8 nm process by Samsung. It features 6144 shading units, 192 texture mapping units, and 96 raster output units, along with 48 ray tracing cores and 192 tensor cores. The GPU has 8 GB of GDDR6X memory on a 256-bit bus, providing a bandwidth of 608.3 GB/s. Its base clock is 1575 MHz with a boost clock of 1770 MHz, and the memory runs at 1188 MHz or 19 Gbps effective. The FP32 performance is rated at 21.75 TFLOPS.

In Fivem, the GPU’s influence becomes dominant at 4K and at higher quality settings. The 4K Ultra result of 40.4 FPS is the lowest in the dataset, and it is nearly identical to what one would expect from a GPU-bound workload given the 21.75 TFLOPS compute capability. The 8 GB VRAM is sufficient for this game at 4K, as the data shows no signs of a memory capacity bottleneck, but the 608.3 GB/s bandwidth is likely the limiting factor at high resolutions. The transition from 1440p to 4K at High settings results in a drop from 92.8 FPS to 51.8 FPS, a 41 FPS loss that cannot be attributed to CPU limitations. This indicates that the RTX 3070 Ti is the primary constraint at these settings, and its performance aligns with its 74th percentile ranking among all GPUs, which places it just above the average but below the top-tier cards.
