Fivem

The Intel Core i5-12400F paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER delivers a robust 1080p and 1440p experience in Fivem, with the data showing that the High preset strikes the optimal balance between visual fidelity and frame rate. At 1080p, the combo achieves 183.1 FPS on High, while 1440p High yields 116.4 FPS, both comfortably above the 60 FPS threshold for smooth multiplayer gameplay. The Ultra preset is playable but demanding, producing 141.8 FPS at 1080p and 94.7 FPS at 1440p, though the performance drop from High is substantial. For 4K users, the High preset drops to 67.8 FPS, which is still playable, but the Ultra preset falls to 51.5 FPS, indicating that this setting is best reserved for lower resolutions.

Settings Recommendations

The measured data across all three resolutions reveals a clear hierarchy in Fivem's performance scaling. The Low preset delivers the highest frame rates—292.2 FPS at 1080p, 192.6 FPS at 1440p, and 103.1 FPS at 4K—but these numbers come at the cost of visual quality that most players will find unacceptable for a modern title. The Medium preset offers a middle ground, producing 227.1 FPS at 1080p, 150.5 FPS at 1440p, and 84.3 FPS at 4K, which represents a 22-27% reduction in frame rate compared to Low across all resolutions.

The High preset emerges as the recommended choice for most users. At 1080p, it delivers 183.1 FPS, which is still 41.3 FPS above the Medium preset's 227.1 FPS? No, rather it is 44 FPS below Medium but retains significantly better visual fidelity. The data shows that High at 1080p is 65.6 FPS faster than Ultra, while at 1440p the gap narrows to 21.7 FPS (116.4 vs 94.7). At 4K, High produces 67.8 FPS, which is 16.3 FPS above Ultra's 51.5 FPS, making it the only 4K preset that maintains acceptable playability.

For competitive players seeking maximum frame rates, the Medium preset provides an excellent compromise, offering 227.1 FPS at 1080p and 150.5 FPS at 1440p. These numbers indicate that Medium is 44 FPS faster than High at 1080p and 34.1 FPS faster at 1440p, while still maintaining a level of visual quality that is superior to Low. The Ultra preset, while technically playable at 1080p with 141.8 FPS, shows diminishing returns relative to its performance cost, especially when compared to High's 183.1 FPS.

FAQ

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER is the primary driver of Fivem's performance at higher resolutions, as evidenced by the frame rate scaling across the measured settings. The GPU features 12 GB of GDDR6X memory on a 192-bit bus, providing 504.2 GB/s of bandwidth, which is sufficient for the game's asset streaming demands. Its boost clock of 2475 MHz and base clock of 1980 MHz enable the card to maintain high utilization, as shown by the 4K results where the GPU becomes the limiting factor.

The data reveals that the RTX 4070 SUPER's performance is heavily influenced by settings, with the 4K Ultra preset producing 51.5 FPS compared to 67.8 FPS on High. This 16.3 FPS difference demonstrates how the GPU's 35.48 TFLOPS of FP32 compute is taxed by the highest visual settings. At 1080p, the same settings gap shows 141.8 FPS versus 183.1 FPS, a 41.3 FPS difference, indicating that the GPU still has headroom at lower resolutions. The card's 56 RT cores and 224 tensor cores are present but Fivem's workload appears to be primarily rasterization-based, given the consistent scaling patterns.

The GPU's memory configuration plays a critical role at 4K, where the 12 GB capacity and 504.2 GB/s bandwidth support the higher texture and geometry loads. The benchmark results show that the RTX 4070 SUPER maintains a 67.8 FPS average at 4K High, which is 16.3 FPS above the 51.5 FPS at Ultra, suggesting that the Ultra preset's additional memory pressure or shader complexity is the bottleneck. The card's 80 ROPs and 224 TMUs contribute to its pixel and texture throughput, with a pixel rate of 198.0 GPixel/s and texture rate of 554.4 GTexel/s, which aligns with the observed 4K performance.

How This Combo Ranks

The Intel Core i5-12400F and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER combination ranks 300th out of 1792 tested combos in Fivem, placing it in the 83rd percentile of all configurations. This ranking reflects the balanced nature of the pairing, where the CPU's 77th percentile standing (average benchmark score of 19221) and the GPU's 84th percentile standing (average benchmark score of 42576) combine to deliver strong in-game performance. The combo's position in the top 16.7% of tested systems indicates that it outperforms the majority of alternatives, though it is not at the absolute top tier.

The CPU's nearest rivals provide context for its contribution. The Intel Core i7-8700K (average score 19210) is virtually identical at 0.1% slower, while the AMD Ryzen 5 7533HS (19364) is 0.7% faster. This suggests that the i5-12400F's 6 cores and 12 threads, with a boost clock of 4.40 GHz, are competitive for Fivem's CPU demands. The GPU's rivals show similar clustering, with the RTX A6000 (42653) and RX 7650 GRE (42723) being 0.2% and 0.3% faster, respectively, indicating that the RTX 4070 SUPER sits at the edge of its performance class.

The rank of 300 out of 1792 demonstrates that this combo is well-suited for Fivem's multiplayer environments, where CPU-bound scenarios are common. The i5-12400F's 18 MB of shared L3 cache and 1.25 MB L2 per core help with the game's entity and script processing, while the RTX 4070 SUPER's 504.2 GB/s bandwidth ensures smooth texture streaming. The data suggests that users seeking higher rankings would need to pair a stronger CPU or GPU, but the current combination offers a cohesive experience across all tested resolutions and settings.

Resolution Scaling

The measured FPS data reveals a consistent scaling pattern as resolution increases from 1080p to 4K. At the High preset, the combo delivers 183.1 FPS at 1080p, dropping to 116.4 FPS at 1440p (a 36.5% reduction) and further to 67.8 FPS at 4K (a 63% reduction from 1080p). This scaling indicates that the GPU is the primary bottleneck at higher resolutions, as the CPU's performance headroom at 1080p (evidenced by the 292.2 FPS Low result) becomes less relevant as pixel count increases.

The Low preset shows the most dramatic scaling: 292.2 FPS at 1080p, 192.6 FPS at 1440p, and 103.1 FPS at 4K. The 1440p to 4K drop of 89.5 FPS (46.5%) is more severe than the 1080p to 1440p drop of 99.6 FPS (34.1%), suggesting that at 4K Low, the GPU is approaching its limits even with minimal graphical demands. The Medium preset follows a similar pattern: 227.1 FPS at 1080p, 150.5 FPS at 1440p, and 84.3 FPS at 4K, with proportional reductions of 33.7% and 44% across the resolution steps.

The Ultra preset exhibits the steepest scaling curve: 141.8 FPS at 1080p, 94.7 FPS at 1440p (a 33.2% drop), and 51.5 FPS at 4K (a 63.7% drop from 1080p). The 4K Ultra result of 51.5 FPS falls below the 60 FPS threshold, indicating that this setting is only viable at 1080p or 1440p. The data collectively shows that the RTX 4070 SUPER's performance scales predictably with resolution, with the CPU's influence diminishing as the GPU becomes the limiting factor above 1440p. At 1080p, the i5-12400F's single-thread performance (3dmark single-thread score of 909) ensures the GPU is fully utilized, but at 4K, the GPU's 35.48 TFLOPS compute capacity defines the frame rate ceiling across all settings.
