Fivem

The Intel Core i5-12400F paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 lands at rank 1017 out of 1792 tested combos in Fivem. This places the pairing in the lower-middle portion of the database, a position driven more by the game’s demanding CPU load and the GPU’s mid-range standing than by any single bottleneck. The combo’s percentile positioning—77th for the CPU and 66th for the GPU—suggests a balanced-but-not-flagship build, and the measured FPS data confirms that it is a capable 1080p performer that struggles to maintain smooth 4K frame rates.

How This Combo Ranks

The combo’s rank of 1017 out of 1792 tested configurations in Fivem reflects a system that sits slightly below the median of all tested hardware pairings. With 1792 total combos, the 1017th position means roughly 56% of tested systems outperform this pairing, while 44% fall behind it. This is not a top-tier result, but it is also far from the bottom of the list, indicating a workable setup for moderate settings.

Breaking down the components, the CPU’s percentile vs all CPUs is 77, meaning it outperforms 77% of all processors in the database. The GPU’s percentile vs all GPUs is 66, a lower standing that suggests the graphics card is the more limiting factor in this pairing. The average benchmark scores reinforce this: the CPU’s average score is 19221, while the GPU’s average is 23181. In Fivem, the CPU’s higher relative standing does not translate into top-tier frame rates, as the game’s multiplayer nature tends to stress both components heavily. The data shows a pairing that is competent for 1080p and 1440p gaming but falls short of high-refresh-rate or 4K expectations.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 brings 8 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 128-bit bus, delivering a bandwidth of 272.0 GB/s. Its boost clock is 2460 MHz, with a base clock of 1830 MHz. These specifications place the GPU in the 66th percentile among all tested graphics cards, with an average benchmark score of 23181. The nearest rivals show a tight grouping: the AMD Radeon RX 6600M is 0.6% faster, the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 780 Ti is 0.7% faster, the Intel Arc B580 is 0.7% slower, and the AMD Radeon 760M is 0.8% slower. This clustering indicates that the RTX 4060 sits in a highly competitive performance band where small architectural differences determine the outcome.

In Fivem, the GPU’s role becomes more pronounced as resolution increases. At 1080p, the card can push frame rates well above 100 FPS on lower settings, but at 4K, its 8 GB VRAM and 128-bit memory bus become limiting factors. The measured data shows a sharp drop from 1080p to 4K, with average FPS falling from 189.5 on Low settings at 1080p to 68.4 on Low settings at 4K. This indicates that while the GPU is capable of handling the game’s geometry and textures at lower resolutions, the higher pixel count at 4K overwhelms its memory bandwidth and fill rate. The RTX 4060’s 48 ROPs and 96 TMUs also contribute to this ceiling, as texture-heavy scenes in Fivem’s multiplayer environments can saturate these units.

Resolution Scaling

The measured FPS data reveals a clear pattern of diminishing returns as resolution climbs. At 1080p, the combo delivers strong performance across all settings: 189.5 FPS on Low, 147.8 FPS on Medium, 119.5 FPS on High, and 91.3 FPS on Ultra. Moving to 1440p, frame rates drop significantly: 126.9 FPS on Low (a 33% reduction), 96.3 FPS on Medium (a 35% reduction), 77.8 FPS on High (a 35% reduction), and 60.8 FPS on Ultra (a 33% reduction). This consistent ~33-35% drop from 1080p to 1440p indicates that the GPU is scaling with pixel count, but not linearly—the reduction is slightly less than the 1.78x pixel increase, suggesting some CPU headroom at lower settings.

At 4K, the drop becomes more severe. From 1440p to 4K, Low settings fall from 126.9 FPS to 68.4 FPS (a 46% reduction), Medium from 96.3 to 53.7 (a 44% reduction), High from 77.8 to 40.3 (a 48% reduction), and Ultra from 60.8 to 35.4 (a 42% reduction). This steeper decline points to the GPU becoming the primary bottleneck at 4K, as the 8 GB VRAM and 272.0 GB/s bandwidth struggle to feed the higher pixel count. The data suggests that the CPU is sufficient for this game at lower resolutions, but the GPU’s memory subsystem limits 4K performance to sub-70 FPS even on Low settings.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The measured FPS data provides a complete picture of performance across three resolutions and four settings levels. At 1920x1080, the combo delivers its best results: 189.5 FPS on Low, 147.8 FPS on Medium, 119.5 FPS on High, and 91.3 FPS on Ultra. These numbers indicate that the pairing is well-suited for 1080p gaming, with even Ultra settings maintaining above 90 FPS. The gap between Low and Ultra is 98.2 FPS, showing that the GPU has significant headroom at this resolution.

At 2560x1440, performance remains solid but drops noticeably: 126.9 FPS on Low, 96.3 FPS on Medium, 77.8 FPS on High, and 60.8 FPS on Ultra. The Ultra setting falls below 60 FPS, which may be a concern for players seeking consistent high-refresh-rate gameplay. The gap between Low and Ultra narrows to 66.1 FPS, indicating that the GPU is starting to feel the load. At 3840x2160, the combo struggles: 68.4 FPS on Low, 53.7 FPS on Medium, 40.3 FPS on High, and 35.4 FPS on Ultra. Only Low settings achieve above 60 FPS, and Ultra drops below 40 FPS, making 4K gaming impractical for smooth play. The gap between Low and Ultra shrinks to 33.0 FPS, showing that the GPU is saturated at this resolution.

CPU Role

The Intel Core i5-12400F is a 6-core, 12-thread processor based on the Alder Lake architecture, with a base clock of 2.50 GHz and a boost clock of 4.40 GHz. It has 18 MB of shared L3 cache and supports both DDR4 and DDR5 memory, making it a flexible choice for various motherboard configurations. In synthetic benchmarks, it scores 16518 in Cinebench R23 multi-core and 2332 in single-core, with a Geekbench multi-core score of 9138 and a single-core score of 2221. Its average benchmark score of 19221 places it in the 77th percentile, with nearest rivals showing near-identical performance: 0.1% faster than the Core i7-8700K, 0.3% faster than the Core i5-1335U, 0.7% slower than the Ryzen 5 7533HS, and 1.3% faster than the EPYC 7773X.

In Fivem, the CPU’s role is most evident at 1080p, where frame rates remain high across all settings. The 6-core, 12-thread configuration provides enough parallelism for the game’s multiplayer logic, which often involves many players and vehicles. However, the data shows that the CPU does not become a limiting factor until 4K, where the GPU’s memory bandwidth and pixel throughput take precedence. The boost clock of 4.40 GHz helps maintain single-threaded performance, which is crucial for Fivem’s server-side scripting and player interactions. The CPU’s 65 W TDP also indicates efficient operation, but this does not translate to higher frame rates in this game, as the measured FPS at 4K Ultra is only 35.4 FPS, firmly GPU-bound.
