Road 96

This entry analyzes the Intel Core i5-12400F paired with an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti in Road 96, a measured combination that occupies rank 412 out of the 3,713 tested setups in this game. The data shows a coherent performance story: at every resolution and settings tier, the pair delivers high frame rates, but the scaling pattern reveals a clear GPU-bound progression from 1080p toward 4K. The following sections break down the measured FPS numbers, the CPU and GPU roles, the specific ranking, and a FAQ derived from the dataset.

Resolution Scaling

The frame rate progression across resolutions is the most direct indicator of what limits this combo. At 1080p High the average is 197 FPS, while at 1440p High it drops to 125, and at 4K High it lands at 66. The transition from 1080p to 1440p represents a reduction of 72 FPS, and from 1440p to 4K a further 59 FPS. The same steep decline appears across all presets, confirming that the GPU is increasingly the decisive factor as pixel count rises.

At the Low preset, the numbers are even more telling: 334 at 1080p, 213 at 1440p, and 112 at 4K. Between 1080p and 1440p, the average loses 121, and between 1440p and 4K another 101. Those gaps demonstrate that the RTX 5070 Ti's ability to push frames scales inversely with resolution, which is the expected behavior in a title where geometry and shading workload grow with pixel count. By comparison, the Medium preset shows a 244 at 1080p, 156 at 1440p, and 82 at 4K. Here the drops are 88 and 74 respectively.

The Ultra preset does not report minimum or maximum frames for any resolution, only the average: 154 at 1080p, 98 at 1440p, and 52 at 4K. Those numbers fall in a logical sequence analogous to the others. The conclusion formed from this progression is that, in Road 96, the CPU is not throttling the output at any tested setting. The 1080p numbers are so high—197 in High and 334 in Low—that they exceed zero refresh rate thresholds, and the consistent decline with resolution implicates the GPU as the primary constraint.

CPU Role

The Intel Core i5-12400F is a 6-core, 12-thread part with a base clock of 2.50 GHz and a boost clock of 4.40 GHz. Its L3 cache is 18 MB shared, and the total L2 is 1.25 MB per core. The database places this CPU in the 73rd percentile among all processors, and its average benchmark score is 19,039. In the 3DMark multi-threaded suite, it scores 5,912 maximum threads, while the single-thread score is 909. Cinebench R23 gives a multi-core 12,380 and a single-core 1,680.

These processor numbers do not predict a bottleneck in an adventure game like Road 96, and the measured FPS data reinforces the prediction. At 1080p Low, the system reaches 334 FPS, which is far above any practical display rate. The 4K tick rates also substantiate this: at 4K High, the system holds 66 FPS; there is no indication that the CPU is stalling the pipeline. By comparing to nearest CPU rivals, the i5-12400F sits within a 0.3% margin of the AMD EPYC 7535HS (avg score 19,047) or the 3DMark 201E (19,056) — the delta values are –0.1% or +0.3%, respectively. That level of parity further demonstrates that the CPU is not the limiting component in this Road 96 measurement.

The CPU's core geometry contributes to this behaviour. With 12 threads and a gaming-cnot linear cache configuration of 18 MB shared L3 but a moderate per-core L2, it provides enough parallel execution stage for a single-thread-driven game. Road 96 is not a heavily parallelised title; at 4K the GPU is the singular constraint. The measured output stops rising as resolution scales down, achievable FPS on any preset, pointing strongly to the GPU as the frame pump.

How This Combo Ranks

The combo holds the position of 412 out of 1,721 combos in the database for Road 96. That places it in the top 11% of tested combinations, a robust outcome. However, ranking in this game is more about the GPU-ath: since the CPU stays untapped, the rank primarily discriminated by GPU capabilities. The RTX 5070 Ti is in the 86th percentile among all GPUs, with an average benchmark score of 49,957 and a PCMark direct X 12 score of 127.

Given this is a light adventurous title, the CPU is the second demand. The number 412 out of 3,713 also hints that the RTX 5070 Ti combination is far from the fastest ever recorded, but the measured numbers still render it the top model for smooth 4K at decent settings. For example, the 4K Ultra result of 52 FPS puts it comfortably above the 30 FPS playable floor, and the 4K High of 66 FPS is better. The ranking sees a wide margin against lower positioned combos, but exact deltas to higher ranked ones are not stored in the dataset. The only available comparative data comes from the nearest rivals for each component.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti is the newer Blackwell (2.0) architecture with a 5 nm process, and it houses 96 shading units AL. The card has 70 RT cores and 280 tensor cores. The memory package is 16 GB of GDDR7 across a 256-bit bus, delivering 896.0 GB/s bandwidth. The boost clock is 2452 MHz, while the base clock is 2295 MHz, with 43.94 TFLOPS of FP32 compute.

In Road 96, the GPU is the primary costing driver. As shown in the scaling section, each jump in resolution reduces the averaged frame rate by large margins. Look at the Medium setting: 1080p is 244, 1440p is 156, and 4K is 82. That drop pattern is a classic symptom of pixel-throughput limitation. The 16 GB VRAM is ample for this game (no high texture set exceeds it, though the database does not track VRAM usage). The 18 MB L3 cache of the CPU is irrelevant for a file such as this.

Relative to its 86 GPU percentile, the card sits almost in a tie with the AMD Radeon RX VeGa 64 (avg 50,001, delta –0.1%) and slightly behind the RX 6900 XT (50,951, delta –2%). It is marginally ahead of the RX 6800 XT (48,477, delta 3.1%) and the Intel Arc A550M (49,737, delta 0.4%). These deltas indicate that the RTX 5070 Ti sits around comparable absolute performance to those cards in aggregate benchmarks. In-game, though, the notable cache of RTX 5070 Ti is its high memory bandwidth, which appears to scale well with the moderate workloads in Road 96.

The GPU does its most taxing job at 4K, where it delivers 112 FPS at Low and 52 at Ultra, covering the full range of playability. At 1080p, it can output over 300 FPS, but those numbers are more a cap of the CPU's ability to feed the frame. The benchmark results do not indicate any frame-time anomalies at any resolution, except for a single min frame at 1440 Medium of 132 and its max of 179, and at 1080 Medium of 208 min and 281 max.

The table reflects the complete measured data set. The CPU does not exceed 60 FPS at any measured clock, so the worst-case drop is at 4K Ultra, striking 52. On the other hand, 1080p Low stays at 334, affirming that the i5-12400F has no trouble feeding the RTX 5070 Ti. The only delineated min/max values are in Medium, and those indicate stable intervals across a 105 FPS range at 1080p. At 1440p, the gap is 50 FPS (132 min, 179 max), and at 4K only 25 FPS. That variation narrows with pixel load, consistent with the GPU becoming further saturated.

All told, this combo offers a strong baseline for 1080p and high refresh gaming, sustains 60+ at 1440p in most presets, and even at 4K maintains a playable 66–FPS High instead. The minimal number of min/max entries displayed also indicates consistent frame pacing at the measured settings. The CPU role remains potent but unused, which is typical for an adventure title with this core density discipline.
