Fivem

Fivem is a demanding multiplayer title, and the combination of the Intel Core i5-12400F and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti produces a dataset that clearly illustrates where the performance boundaries lie. The measured frames per second (FPS) across resolutions and settings show a system that is exceptionally capable at 1080p but begins to show its constraints as pixel count and graphical fidelity rise.

Resolution Scaling

The performance drop from 1080p to 4K is steep and telling. At 1080p with Low settings, the combo achieves an average of 303.6 FPS. Moving to 1440p at the same settings, the average drops to 201 FPS, a significant reduction of about one-third. At 4K Low, the average falls further to 109.1 FPS. This pattern indicates that at lower resolutions, the system has enough headroom to push well beyond typical display refresh rates, but the scaling is not linear.

The scaling curve steepens with higher settings. At Ultra settings, the system manages 149.9 FPS at 1080p, 97.4 FPS at 1440p, and only 54.3 FPS at 4K. The drop from 1080p to 4K at Ultra is over 63%, which is a much larger relative decline than the 64% drop seen at Low settings. This suggests that as settings increase, the load shifts more heavily onto the graphics card, and the RTX 4070 Ti’s 12 GB of VRAM and 192-bit memory bus become more critical factors. The data implies that for smooth 4K gameplay, users would need to compromise on settings, as the Ultra preset at 4K falls below the 60 FPS threshold, while High settings at 4K barely clear it with an average of 73.1 FPS.

CPU Role

The Intel Core i5-12400F is a 6-core, 12-thread processor based on the Alder Lake architecture. Its base clock is 2.50 GHz and it can boost up to 4.40 GHz. In this game, the CPU’s influence is most apparent at lower resolutions where the GPU is not the primary bottleneck. The benchmark results show that at 1080p Low, the system produces 303.6 FPS, a figure that is likely limited by the CPU’s ability to feed the GPU with draw calls and game logic updates.

The processor’s benchmark scores provide context for its performance. Its Cinebench R23 multicore score is 16518, and its single-core score is 2332. The 3DMark 16-thread score is 5895, while the 2-thread score is 1699. These figures indicate a balanced performer that excels in single-threaded tasks, which is often critical for multiplayer game servers and physics calculations. The CPU’s L3 cache is 18 MB shared, which is ample for keeping frequently accessed data on-die. In the context of Fivem, which is known for its heavy CPU usage due to player counts and scripting, the i5-12400F appears to be a solid match, though the data shows that at 1080p, the system is likely CPU-bound, as lowering the resolution from 1440p to 1080p yields a massive FPS jump from 201 to 303.6 at Low settings.

How This Combo Ranks

In the database of tested combos, this specific pairing of the i5-12400F and RTX 4070 Ti ranks 211 out of 1792 combinations for Fivem. This places it in the top 12% of all tested systems, which is a strong showing for this game. The ranking reflects a balanced system that can handle high refresh rates at 1440p and maintain playable frame rates at 4K with adjusted settings.

The CPU’s nearest rivals in the synthetic benchmarks show its position in the broader market. The Intel Core i7-8700K has an average score of 19210, which is 0.1% higher than the i5-12400F’s 19221. The AMD Ryzen 5 7533HS scores 19364, which is 0.7% higher, while the AMD EPYC 7773X scores 18979, which is 1.3% lower. This indicates that the i5-12400F is in a tightly contested performance tier, where minor architectural differences can shift the balance. For the GPU, the RTX 4070 Ti sits at the 85th percentile of all GPUs, with an average benchmark score of 44900. Its nearest rival, the RTX 5090 Mobile, scores 45152, which is 0.6% higher, suggesting that the desktop card is performance-competitive with top-tier mobile parts. This combination’s rank of 211 suggests that while the individual components are strong, the pairing is not at the very top of the leaderboard, likely due to the CPU being a mid-range part rather than a flagship.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The measured FPS data provides a granular look at performance across twelve different scenarios. At 1080p, the system is exceptionally fast. With Low settings, it averages 303.6 FPS. Medium settings yield 242.6 FPS, and High settings produce 190.8 FPS. The Ultra preset drops to 149.9 FPS, which is still very high and suggests that this resolution is not a challenge for the hardware.

Moving to 1440p, the frame rates remain high but show the expected decline. Low settings produce 201 FPS, which is still excellent for competitive play. Medium settings average 160.5 FPS, and High settings hit 125.1 FPS. The Ultra preset at 1440p averages 97.4 FPS, which is a very playable number for most users and indicates that this is the sweet spot for the combo, offering a balance between visual quality and smoothness.

At 4K, the performance becomes more variable. Low settings average 109.1 FPS, which is still smooth. Medium settings drop to 88.7 FPS, and High settings average 73.1 FPS. The Ultra preset at 4K is the only scenario where the system falls below 60 FPS, with an average of 54.3 FPS. This suggests that 4K gaming is possible, but only with settings reduced to High or lower to maintain a consistent frame rate above the 60 FPS target.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti is built on the Ada Lovelace architecture and features 7680 shading units, 240 texture mapping units, and 80 raster output units. Its base clock is 2310 MHz with a boost clock of 2610 MHz. The GPU has 12 GB of GDDR6X memory on a 192-bit bus, providing a bandwidth of 504.2 GB/s. This memory configuration is sufficient for 1440p gaming and handles 4K adequately, though the data shows that the 4K Ultra preset is a heavy load.

The GPU’s benchmark scores highlight its raw compute power. Its 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score is 5024, and its Geekbench OpenCL score is 205028. The Passmark G3D score is 31624, which places it well above average. The RTX 4070 Ti also has 60 RT cores and 240 tensor cores, which are beneficial for games that use ray tracing and DLSS. In Fivem, the GPU’s role becomes more pronounced at higher resolutions and settings. The difference between 4K Low (109.1 FPS) and 4K Ultra (54.3 FPS) is a 50% reduction in frame rate, which is directly attributable to the increased graphical load on the GPU. The card’s 285 W TDP and dual-slot design suggest it is a power-hungry part, but its performance in this game shows it is well-suited for high-refresh-rate 1440p gaming and acceptable 4K performance with tweaked settings. The data indicates that the GPU is the limiting factor at 4K Ultra, while the CPU takes on that role at 1080p Low, demonstrating a well-balanced pairing for most gaming scenarios.
