Fivem

The data shows that the AMD Ryzen 5 4600G paired with the Intel Arc B390 delivers a playable experience in Fivem only at 1920x1080, with the Medium preset being the highest settings that maintains an average frame rate at or above the 60 FPS threshold. At higher resolutions, this combination falls short of playable performance. The recorded measurements indicate that the system is strictly a 1080p gaming setup for this title, and even then, users must be willing to compromise on visual fidelity to achieve smooth gameplay.

Best Settings per Resolution

At 3840x2160, none of the tested presets reach the 60 FPS playable threshold. The best possible average frame rate at this resolution is 32 FPS, achieved with the Low preset. The High preset delivers 20 FPS, Medium delivers 25 FPS, and Ultra drops to 16 FPS. The data reveals a clear downward trend as visual quality increases, but even the most performance-oriented settings leave the system far from the playable mark. This resolution should be considered unplayable for this hardware combination.

At 2560x1440, the situation improves slightly but remains below the playable threshold. The Low preset produces an average of 58 FPS, which is the closest this combination gets to 60 FPS at this resolution, but it still falls short. The Medium preset averages 46 FPS with a minimum of 39 FPS, High averages 37 FPS, and Ultra averages 29 FPS. The verdict data confirms that no settings at this resolution are considered playable, meaning users seeking 1440p performance would need to look at different hardware.

At 1920x1080, the system finally achieves playable performance. The Low preset delivers an average of 88 FPS, which provides a comfortable margin above the 60 FPS threshold. The Medium preset averages 70 FPS with a minimum of 59 FPS and a maximum of 80 FPS, making it the highest quality setting that stays at or above 60 FPS on average. The High preset averages 56 FPS, just below the threshold, and Ultra averages 43 FPS. The verdict data identifies Medium as the best settings at this resolution, with an average of 70 FPS. This means users can enjoy a balanced visual experience at 1080p, but should avoid High or Ultra if they want to maintain smooth gameplay.

CPU and GPU Roles

The performance scaling across resolutions reveals that the GPU is the dominant bottleneck in this configuration. The Intel Arc B390, which ranks in the 9th percentile among all GPUs, shows severe limitations as resolution increases. The 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 1482 places it alongside very old or entry-level discrete GPUs, and its performance profile is consistent with an integrated graphics solution despite being labeled as a separate chip.

Looking at the frame rate data, the transition from 1920x1080 to 2560x1440 at the Low preset shows a drop from 88 FPS to 58 FPS, a reduction of 34 percent. At the Medium preset, the drop is from 70 FPS to 46 FPS, a 34 percent reduction as well. Moving from 2560x1440 to 3840x2160 at Low settings shows a further drop from 58 FPS to 32 FPS, a 45 percent reduction. This steep decline with resolution scaling is characteristic of a GPU-bound scenario, as the render resolution increases the workload on the graphics processor far more than on the CPU.

The CPU, an AMD Ryzen 5 4600G, is a 6-core, 12-thread processor with a boost clock of 4.20 GHz. It ranks in the 71st percentile among all CPUs, which is a respectable position. Its Cinebench R23 multicore score of 13593 and single-core score of 1919 indicate that it has sufficient processing power for gaming workloads. The PassMark multithread score of 15992 further confirms that the CPU is not the limiting factor in most scenarios.

The evidence for CPU headroom becomes apparent when comparing the 1080p preset results. At 1920x1080, the jump from Low to Medium only costs 18 FPS (88 to 70), while the jump from Medium to High costs 14 FPS (70 to 56), and High to Ultra costs 13 FPS (56 to 43). These are relatively modest penalties for increased visual quality, suggesting that the CPU can feed the GPU adequately at this resolution. However, at 1440p and 4K, the frame rates collapse to levels where even a very strong CPU could not compensate for the GPU's lack of raw throughput.

The GPU specifications support this analysis. With 1536 shading units, 48 texture mapping units, and 24 raster output units, the Arc B390 has a pixel rate of 60.00 GPixel/s and a texture rate of 120.0 GTexel/s. Its FP32 performance of 7.680 TFLOPS is modest by modern standards. These numbers explain why the GPU struggles as resolution increases, since higher resolutions require more pixel and texture throughput.

The memory configuration also plays a role. The GPU uses system shared memory with bandwidth described as system dependent. This means the GPU competes with the CPU for memory bandwidth, and at higher resolutions, this contention becomes more severe. The CPU's dual-channel DDR4 memory support provides a maximum bandwidth of 51.2 GB/s, which is shared between the processor and the integrated graphics, further limiting the GPU's effective performance.

FAQ

Q: What is the highest resolution at which this system can maintain 60 FPS on average?

A: The maximum resolution with playable performance is 1920x1080. At this resolution, the Medium preset delivers an average of 70 FPS, and the Low preset delivers 88 FPS. At 2560x1440, the best result is 58 FPS on Low, which falls short of the 60 FPS threshold. At 3840x2160, no preset reaches even 40 FPS.

Q: Is the Medium preset at 1080p a stable experience?

A: The Medium preset at 1920x1080 averages 70 FPS, but the recorded minimum is 59 FPS and the maximum is 80 FPS. This means there will be occasional dips just below the 60 FPS mark, though the average remains comfortably playable. For a more consistent experience, the Low preset at 88 FPS average provides a larger buffer above the threshold.

These are all very old, low-end graphics solutions, which gives context for the Arc B390's performance class.

Q: Is this system better for CPU-heavy or GPU-heavy games?

A: The data indicates that the CPU is significantly stronger relative to its peers than the GPU. The Ryzen 5 4600G sits in the 71st percentile for CPUs, while the Arc B390 sits in the 9th percentile for GPUs. For Fivem specifically, the GPU limits performance at higher resolutions, while at 1080p the CPU has enough headroom to maintain playable frame rates across Low and Medium presets. Games that are less graphically demanding and more reliant on processor performance would likely show this system in a better light.

Q: What frame rate can be expected at 1440p with the lowest settings?

A: At 2560x1440 with the Low preset, the average frame rate is 58 FPS. This is just 2 FPS below the 60 FPS playable threshold, meaning the experience is very close to playable but not quite there. The Medium preset drops to 46 FPS, and High drops to 37 FPS. Users wanting 1440p would need to accept sub-60 FPS performance or reduce the resolution.

Similar Performance Alternatives

Looking at the CPU's nearest rivals, the AMD Ryzen 5 4600G performs nearly identically to several other processors. The AMD Ryzen 3 PRO 5355GE has an average score of 17482, just 0.1 percent lower than the 4600G's 17507. This means users with that processor would see essentially the same CPU performance in Fivem. The AMD Ryzen 3 8300GE scores 17614, 0.6 percent higher, and the Intel Core 7 150U scores 17395, 0.6 percent lower. The Intel Core i3-14100T scores 17648, 0.8 percent higher. In practice, all of these CPUs would deliver nearly indistinguishable CPU-bound results, though the GPU would still dominate the overall experience.

On the GPU side, the Intel Arc B390's nearest rivals are all significantly older NVIDIA solutions. The NVIDIA GeForce GT 520MX scores 1463, just 1.3 percent lower than the Arc B390's 1482. The NVIDIA GeForce 800M scores 1460, 1.5 percent lower. The NVIDIA GeForce GT 625 OEM scores 1446, 2.5 percent lower, and the NVIDIA GeForce GT 710 scores 1443, 2.7 percent lower. These GPUs would produce very similar frame rates in Fivem, meaning users with any of these graphics solutions would face the same resolution limitations. The Arc B390's performance class is effectively that of a decade-old entry-level discrete GPU, despite being a modern integrated solution.

For users considering alternatives, the CPU side offers flexibility since many processors perform within a narrow band of the 4600G. However, the GPU side offers no meaningful upgrade path within similar hardware, as any of the nearest rivals would yield nearly identical results. The bottleneck is clearly the graphics solution, and users would need to move to a substantially more powerful GPU to see significant improvements in Fivem performance.

The Verdict

The data is clear: this system can run Fivem, but only at 1920x1080 and only with specific settings. The verdict by resolution shows that at 3840x2160, there are no playable settings, meaning no preset reaches an average of 60 FPS. At 2560x1440, the same conclusion applies: no playable settings exist. At 1920x1080, the Low and Medium presets are playable, with Medium being the best settings at an average of 70 FPS.

For users who prioritize a smooth frame rate, the Low preset at 1080p offers 88 FPS average, which provides a substantial margin above the playable threshold. The Medium preset at 70 FPS average is a reasonable choice for those who want better visual quality while staying above 60 FPS on average, though the 59 FPS minimum indicates occasional dips. The High preset at 56 FPS and Ultra at 43 FPS should be avoided if maintaining 60 FPS is a priority.

This system is not suitable for 1440p or 4K gaming in Fivem. The best 1440p result is 58 FPS on Low, which just misses the threshold, and 4K results are far below playable levels. Users with this hardware should plan for 1080p gaming only, and they should expect to use Medium or Low settings for the best balance of performance and visuals.

How This Combo Ranks

Among all tested combinations in the database, this pairing of AMD Ryzen 5 4600G and Intel Arc B390 ranks 3294 out of 3707 combinations for Fivem performance. This places it in the bottom 11 percent of all tested systems, which aligns with the GPU's low performance percentile. The CPU's respectable 71st percentile ranking does little to compensate for the GPU's 9th percentile ranking in this game.

The ranking reflects the overall experience: this is a system that can barely manage 1080p at medium settings, while most other tested combinations achieve higher resolutions or higher quality presets. The low rank is primarily attributable to the GPU's performance class, as the Arc B390's benchmark scores place it alongside some of the weakest graphics solutions in the database. Users with this combination should treat it as an entry-level 1080p gaming setup, one that handles less demanding titles well but struggles with games that stress the graphics subsystem. For Fivem specifically, the experience is playable but limited, and the data suggests that any meaningful upgrade should focus on replacing the GPU rather than the CPU.
