GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 D is the dominant component in this pairing, and its specifications make it a monster for Fivem. The GPU operates with a base clock of 2017 MHz and a boost clock of 2407 MHz. This is backed by an enormous 32 GB of GDDR7 memory on a 512-bit bus, which delivers 1.79 TB/s of bandwidth. For a game like Fivem, which is a multiplayer modification platform, such memory capacity and bandwidth ensure that high-resolution textures and dense environments are handled without any memory-related stutter. The 92nd percentile ranking among all GPUs and the passmark G3D score of 44065 reflect its outright performance capability.

The GPU's shading units (21760), texture mapping units (680), and render output units (176) provide a theoretical FP32 performance of 104.8 TFLOPS. This raw compute power translates directly into the high frame rates observed in the measured data. The RTX 5090 D also has 170 RT cores and 680 tensor cores, though Fivem's traditional rendering path may not fully utilize these features. The measured FPS at 4K Ultra (72 FPS average) demonstrates that even at maximum settings, this GPU can maintain playable frame rates, pushing the limits of what the engine can throw at it.

However, the GPU's role shifts depending on the resolution. At 1080p Low (307 FPS average), the GPU is barely breaking a sweat, as evidenced by the fact that the CPU becomes the limiting factor. At 4K Ultra (72 FPS average), the GPU is fully loaded, and the 32 GB VRAM ensures that no texture streaming issues occur at these high settings. The GPU's 575 W TDP and 950 W suggested PSU requirement indicate it is a power-hungry component, but the measured performance justifies this in the context of high-refresh-rate gaming.

The benchmark data shows the RTX 5090 D outperforming its nearest rival, the AMD Radeon RX 6650M XT, by 1.1% in average score (77712 vs 76904). Against the AMD Radeon RX 6850M XT, it trails by 1.6% (78940). This puts the 5090 D in a competitive position, though the measured FPS in Fivem shows that raw benchmark scores do not always translate directly to in-game performance, as the CPU interaction plays a significant role.

Settings Recommendations

Selecting the right settings for this combo depends heavily on your target resolution and refresh rate, as the measured FPS data reveals distinct tiers of performance. At 1080p, the High preset delivers 254 FPS average, which is well above the refresh rate of most monitors. The Ultra preset at 1080p still manages 197 FPS average, making it viable for high-refresh-rate displays. For competitive play where frame rate is king, the Low preset at 1080p (307 FPS average) offers the maximum performance, but the visual compromise may not be worth it given that High already exceeds 240 FPS.

At 1440p, the High preset achieves 167 FPS average, which is excellent for most high-refresh-rate monitors. The Medium preset at 1440p provides 209 FPS average, making it the best choice for those seeking the highest frame rates without sacrificing too much visual quality. Ultra at 1440p drops to 130 FPS average, which is still very playable but represents a significant step down from High. For most users at 1440p, the High preset offers the best balance between visual fidelity and performance, as the 167 FPS average leaves headroom for dips.

At 4K, the situation changes dramatically. The High preset at 3840x2160 yields 93 FPS average, which is playable but not ideal for high-refresh-rate displays. The Medium preset at 4K manages 116 FPS average with a minimum of 99 FPS and maximum of 133 FPS, making it the best choice for 4K gaming with this setup. Ultra at 4K drops to 72 FPS average, which is borderline for smooth gameplay. The Low preset at 4K (147 FPS average) is interesting, as it shows that the GPU has enough headroom to push high frame rates even at 4K when settings are lowered.

The data suggests that the Medium preset provides the most consistent experience across all resolutions, as it is the only preset with recorded minimum and maximum FPS values. At 1080p Medium, the system averages 282 FPS with a min of 240 and max of 325. At 1440p Medium, it averages 209 FPS with a min of 178 and max of 240. At 4K Medium, it averages 116 FPS with a min of 99 and max of 133. This consistency indicates that Medium is the sweet spot for this CPU/GPU combination, offering high frame rates with predictable performance.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The measured FPS data provides a comprehensive picture of how this system performs across all resolution and settings combinations. Starting with 1920x1080, the Low preset delivers the highest average at 307 FPS. The Medium preset follows with 282 FPS average, showing a modest 25 FPS drop from Low. High at 1080p achieves 254 FPS average, and Ultra drops further to 197 FPS average. The scaling from Low to Ultra at 1080p represents a 110 FPS difference, indicating that the GPU can handle even the most demanding settings at this resolution while maintaining high frame rates.

Moving to 2560x1440, the performance drops are more pronounced. Low settings yield 265 FPS average, which is 42 FPS lower than at 1080p. Medium drops to 209 FPS average, a 73 FPS reduction from 1080p Medium. High at 1440p manages 167 FPS average, which is 87 FPS lower than 1080p High. Ultra at 1440p drops to 130 FPS average, 67 FPS lower than 1080p Ultra. The relative performance scaling at 1440p shows that the GPU is still the dominant factor, but the CPU's influence becomes more apparent as the resolution increases.

At 3840x2160, the performance takes a significant hit across all settings. Low at 4K delivers 147 FPS average, which is 118 FPS lower than 1080p Low. Medium at 4K achieves 116 FPS average, 166 FPS lower than 1080p Medium. High at 4K drops to 93 FPS average, 161 FPS lower than 1080p High. Ultra at 4K manages 72 FPS average, 125 FPS lower than 1080p Ultra. The 4K results clearly show that the GPU is being pushed to its limits, with the resolution increase from 1440p to 4K causing the largest relative performance drops.

The Medium preset stands out as the only one with full min/max data recorded. At 1080p, the system averages 282 FPS with a range from 240 to 325 FPS. At 1440p, it averages 209 FPS with a range from 178 to 240 FPS. At 4K, it averages 116 FPS with a range from 99 to 133 FPS. This data shows that the Medium preset maintains a consistent frame time experience, with the minimum FPS staying within 15-18% of the average across all resolutions. This consistency makes Medium the recommended preset for users who prioritize stable frame rates over absolute maximums.

Resolution Scaling

The resolution scaling behavior of this system reveals important insights into the bottleneck dynamics. From 1080p Low (307 FPS) to 1440p Low (265 FPS), the average frame rate drops by 42 FPS, or approximately 13.7%. However, from 1440p Low (265 FPS) to 4K Low (147 FPS), the drop is 118 FPS, or approximately 44.5%. This nonlinear scaling indicates that the GPU is not the primary limiting factor at 1080p and 1440p Low settings, as the CPU is likely holding back the system from achieving even higher frame rates.

For the High preset, the scaling is more linear. From 1080p High (254 FPS) to 1440p High (167 FPS), the drop is 87 FPS (34.3%). From 1440p High (167 FPS) to 4K High (93 FPS), the drop is 74 FPS (44.3%). This suggests that at High settings, the GPU becomes the primary bottleneck earlier, as the increased graphical load starts to saturate the GPU's capabilities. The Ultra preset shows similar behavior, with a 67 FPS drop from 1080p to 1440p (34%) and a 58 FPS drop from 1440p to 4K (44.6%).

The Medium preset provides the clearest picture of resolution scaling. From 1080p Medium (282 FPS) to 1440p Medium (209 FPS), the drop is 73 FPS (25.9%). From 1440p Medium (209 FPS) to 4K Medium (116 FPS), the drop is 93 FPS (44.5%). This consistent ~44% drop from 1440p to 4K across all settings indicates that the GPU is the limiting factor at 4K regardless of the preset. Conversely, the smaller drops from 1080p to 1440p (ranging from 13.7% at Low to 34.3% at High) suggest that the CPU has more influence at lower resolutions.

The data clearly shows that this system is CPU-limited at 1080p and GPU-limited at 4K. The 1440p resolution represents the transition point where both components contribute roughly equally to performance. The fact that 4K Low (147 FPS) is still significantly higher than 4K Ultra (72 FPS) demonstrates that the GPU has massive headroom when settings are reduced, but the CPU cannot keep up at higher frame rates even at 4K Low.

CPU Role

The Intel Core i5-12400F plays a critical role in this system, particularly at lower resolutions where its performance ceiling becomes the limiting factor. This 6-core, 12-thread processor operates at a base clock of 2.50 GHz and boosts to 4.40 GHz. It features 18 MB of shared L3 cache and supports DDR4 and DDR5 memory on a dual-channel bus. The CPU's benchmark scores show a single-thread performance of 909 in 3DMark and 1680 in Cinebench R23, with multi-thread scores of 5912 in 3DMark and 12380 in Cinebench R23.

The CPU's percentile ranking of 73rd among all CPUs indicates it is a solid mainstream processor, but it is clearly outclassed by the RTX 5090 D in terms of relative performance. This imbalance is evident in the measured FPS data at 1080p, where the system achieves 307 FPS at Low settings. This frame rate is likely near the CPU's maximum achievable in Fivem, as the GPU has significant headroom to render more frames if the CPU could feed it faster. The passmark single-thread score of 3481 and multithread score of 19433 provide context for the CPU's capability.

The CPU's nearest rivals include the AMD Ryzen 5 7535HS (avg score 19047, 0% delta), Intel Core 3 201E (avg score 19056, -0.1% delta), and Intel Core i5-1335U (avg score 18982, 0.3% delta). The i5-12400F's average benchmark score of 19039 places it right in the middle of this group, showing that it is a competitive mainstream processor. However, in Fivem specifically, the CPU's 6 cores and 12 threads may not be sufficient to fully utilize the RTX 5090 D's massive parallel processing capabilities at lower resolutions.

The data suggests that the CPU becomes less of a bottleneck as resolution increases. At 4K, the GPU takes over as the primary limiting factor, and the CPU's role diminishes. The 4K Low result of 147 FPS shows that the CPU can still deliver high frame rates when the GPU is not fully saturated, but the CPU's single-thread performance (909 in 3DMark single-thread) is what ultimately caps the maximum frame rate in CPU-bound scenarios. For users with high-refresh-rate monitors at 1080p or 1440p, the i5-12400F will be the limiting factor, but at 4K, the RTX 5090 D is the clear bottleneck.
