Fivem

Fivem places unique demands on a system due to its multiplayer nature, where physics, scripting, and asset streaming for dozens of players run concurrently. The Intel Core i5-12400F, with its 6 cores and 12 threads, provides the parallel processing headroom needed for these tasks. Its base clock of 2.50 GHz and boost clock of 4.40 GHz, combined with a 65 W TDP, allow it to sustain high performance without thermal throttling. The CPU’s 18 MB of shared L3 cache is also critical, as it holds frequently accessed game logic and world data, reducing latency when the game queries the environment. In Fivem, the benchmark results show that the CPU is not the primary bottleneck at lower resolutions; the system reaches 220.8 FPS at 1080p Low settings, indicating the processor can feed frames far beyond typical display refresh rates. However, as resolution increases, the load shifts away from the CPU, and its role becomes more about maintaining consistent frame pacing rather than pushing raw frame counts.

The data suggests that the i5-12400F’s single-thread performance is adequate for Fivem’s core simulation loop. Its 3DMark single-thread score of 909 and Passmark single-thread score of 3481 indicate strong per-core capability, which is essential for the game’s main thread that handles player input and server synchronization. Multi-threaded scores, such as the Cinebench R23 multicore result of 16518, show that the CPU can handle the background tasks like AI and weather simulation without stealing resources from the primary thread. This balance is why the system can maintain 171.6 FPS at 1080p Medium, where the CPU still has to process more environmental details. The CPU’s percentile ranking of 77 among all CPUs, with an average benchmark score of 19221, places it in the upper quartile, ensuring it will not hold back the GPU in this title.

FAQ

Q: Can this CPU and GPU combo run Fivem smoothly at 1080p with high settings?

A: Yes. The measured data shows an average of 139.8 FPS at 1920x1080 with High settings. This is well above the 60 FPS threshold for smooth gameplay, indicating the combo is more than capable for high-refresh-rate monitors at this resolution.

Q: What is the performance difference between 1080p Low and 1080p Ultra?

A: The difference is substantial. At 1080p Low, the average FPS is 220.8, while at 1080p Ultra, it drops to 107.1. This represents a 51.5% reduction in frame rate when moving from the lowest to the highest preset, showing how much graphical fidelity costs in this title.

Q: How does the i5-12400F compare to its closest rival, the Intel Core i7-8700K?

A: The i5-12400F has an average benchmark score of 19221, which is 0.1% higher than the i7-8700K’s score of 19210. This puts the two chips at near-parity in overall synthetic performance, though the newer architecture of the i5-12400F may offer better power efficiency.

Q: Is the RTX 4060 Ti 8 GB the limiting factor at 4K resolution?

A: Yes. At 3840x2160 with High settings, the average FPS is 50.6. When comparing to the 1080p High result of 139.8 FPS, the drop is significant. The GPU’s 8 GB of GDDR6 memory and 128-bit bus width, with a bandwidth of 288.0 GB/s, struggle to maintain high frame rates at this extreme resolution.

Q: What is the frame rate difference between 1440p Medium and 1440p High?

A: At 2560x1440, the Medium preset delivers 114.3 FPS, while High settings yield 87.9 FPS. This 23.1% performance gap is due to the increased shading and texture work, which taxes the GPU’s 4352 shading units more heavily.

Q: How does this combo rank among all tested combinations in Fivem?

A: The combo ranks 759th out of 1792 tested combinations. This places it in the top 42.4% of all tested systems, indicating it is a mid-to-upper-tier performer for this specific game.

Resolution Scaling

The performance scaling from 1080p to 4K reveals a classic GPU-bound scenario at higher resolutions. At 1920x1080 with High settings, the system produces 139.8 FPS. Moving to 2560x1440, the frame rate drops to 87.9 FPS, a 37.1% decrease. At 3840x2160, the average FPS falls to 50.6, which is a 63.8% reduction from the 1080p baseline. This pattern indicates that the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 Ti 8 GB is the primary limiting component as pixel count increases. The GPU’s 128-bit memory bus and 8 GB VRAM capacity are not sufficient to maintain high throughput at 4K, even with the 2535 MHz boost clock.

However, the data also shows that the CPU can scale down effectively. At 1080p Low settings, the system reaches 220.8 FPS, suggesting the i5-12400F has headroom that the GPU cannot utilize at higher resolutions. The trend is consistent across all settings: the gap between 1080p and 1440p is significant, but the gap between 1440p and 4K is even more pronounced. For example, at Ultra settings, 1080p yields 107.1 FPS, 1440p yields 73.2 FPS, and 4K drops to 36.4 FPS. This steep decline at 4K Ultra shows that the GPU is overwhelmed, struggling to process the increased shader complexity and texture fidelity. The fact that the 4K Low setting (78.7 FPS) is still lower than the 1440p High setting (87.9 FPS) confirms that raw resolution is the dominant factor, not just graphical effects.

How This Combo Ranks

In the database of tested combinations for Fivem, this specific pairing of the Intel Core i5-12400F with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 Ti 8 GB achieves a rank of 759 out of 1792 total combos. This places it in the top 42.4% of all systems tested, which is a respectable position for a mid-range setup. The ranking reflects a balance between the CPU’s strong multi-threaded capabilities and the GPU’s modest 4K performance. The CPU’s average benchmark score of 19221, which is 0.1% higher than the Intel Core i7-8700K’s score, ensures it is not a weak link. Meanwhile, the GPU’s average benchmark score of 2913 is identical to the NVIDIA GeForce GT 555M’s score, indicating that in synthetic tests, the RTX 4060 Ti’s performance is not exceptional when compared to much older mobile parts.

The rank suggests that while this combo excels at 1080p and 1440p, it falls behind systems with more powerful GPUs at 4K. For instance, the system’s 4K High average of 50.6 FPS is below the 60 FPS playability threshold, which likely drags its overall rank down. In contrast, the 1080p Low average of 220.8 FPS is excellent and would rank much higher if the ranking were resolution-specific. The data indicates that this combo is optimized for competitive play at lower resolutions, where the CPU’s 6 cores and 12 threads can shine. The GPU’s 8 GB memory capacity is sufficient for 1080p and 1440p textures, but the 128-bit bus width limits its ability to compete with higher-tier cards at 4K, resulting in a mid-pack overall standing.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 Ti 8 GB is built on the Ada Lovelace architecture with a 5 nm process from TSMC, featuring 22,900 million transistors. Its base clock of 2310 MHz and boost clock of 2535 MHz allow for high raw compute throughput, with an FP32 performance of 22.06 TFLOPS. The 8 GB of GDDR6 memory operates at 18 Gbps effective, delivering a bandwidth of 288.0 GB/s across a 128-bit bus. In Fivem, this configuration is the dominant factor in frame rate scaling with resolution and settings. The data shows that at 1080p, the GPU can handle even Ultra settings, producing 107.1 FPS. However, its 48 ROPs and 136 TMUs struggle with the high pixel fill rate required at 4K, where it only manages 36.4 FPS on Ultra.

The GPU’s 34 ray tracing cores and 136 tensor cores are present, but Fivem does not appear to utilize them heavily, as the performance drop from High to Ultra at 4K is steep (50.6 FPS to 36.4 FPS), suggesting traditional rasterization is the main workload. The memory bandwidth of 288.0 GB/s is a limiting factor at higher resolutions, as the GPU must fetch more texture data. This is evident in the 4K Medium result of 60.8 FPS, which is only slightly better than the 4K High result of 50.6 FPS, indicating that texture quality changes have a minimal impact compared to resolution scaling. The GPU’s percentile ranking of 17 among all GPUs, with an average benchmark score of 2913, places it in the lower quartile of all GPUs, highlighting that while it is a modern part, its performance is not top-tier. The fact that it matches the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 Ti 16 GB’s score (2913) with a 0.2% delta shows that memory capacity does not affect synthetic benchmarks, but in real-world 4K gaming, the 8 GB variant will run out of VRAM faster, leading to the observed frame rate drops.
