Fivem

Best Settings per Resolution

Fivem is a multiplayer title where frame pacing directly affects how smoothly the game world updates around other players. The measured data places the AMD Ryzen 5 5500 and Intel Arc B390 combination in a position where playable performance is achievable, but only at specific configuration windows. The database records show three resolutions were tested: 1920x1080, 2560x1440, and 3840x2160. For each one, the goal is to find the most demanding preset that stays at or above 60 FPS, and the results are clear.

At 1920x1080, the most demanding preset that remains at or above 60 FPS is Medium, with an average of exactly 70 FPS. This is the only resolution where a playable setting exists, and Medium is the highest preset that clears the threshold. The Low preset at this resolution runs faster, but it is less demanding, so Medium is the recommended maximum for consistent frame rates. At 2560x1440, no preset reaches the 60 FPS target. The closest recorded value is the Low preset at 58 FPS, which falls short of the playable threshold. The Medium preset at 46 FPS average falls further behind at 46 FPS, and the High preset averages 37 FPS. The Ultra preset at this resolution averages 29 FPS, which is well below the minimum acceptable frame rate requirement. At 3840x2160, the situation is even more constrained. The Low preset averages 32 FPS, the Medium preset averages 25 FPS, the High preset averages 20 FPS, and the Ultra preset averages 16 FPS. None of these values approach the 60 FPS playable threshold, meaning this resolution is not viable for smooth gameplay under any tested settings.

The ranking data confirms the best settings per resolution are as follows. For 1920x1080, the best settings are Medium, achieving 70 FPS on average. For 2560x1440, the best settings are Low, which averages 58 FPS but does not meet the 60 FPS playable threshold, so the verdict by resolution marks no playable settings for this resolution. For 3840x2160, the best settings are Low, averaging 32 FPS, also not playable. The database lists the best settings per resolution as the most demanding preset that stays at or above 60 FPS, and only 1920x1080 Medium qualifies. All other resolutions and presets either fall below the threshold or are simply not tested with a playable result.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The recorded FPS data provides a complete picture of how the AMD Ryzen 5 5500 and Intel Arc B390 handle Fivem across three resolutions and four presets. The database includes average FPS for all twelve tested configurations, with minimum and maximum values recorded for the Medium preset at each resolution. The 1920x1080 resolution shows the highest performance. At Low settings, the average FPS is 88, well above the 60 FPS playable threshold. At Medium settings, the average FPS is 70, with a minimum of 59 FPS and a maximum of 80 FPS. The High preset drops to an average of 56 FPS, which falls just below the threshold, and the Ultra preset averages 43 FPS. These numbers show that 1920x1080 is the only resolution where the system can maintain playable frame rates, and only at Low and Medium presets.

At 2560x1440, performance drops considerably. The Low preset averages 58 FPS, which is just below the 60 FPS threshold. The Medium preset averages 46 FPS, with a minimum of 39 FPS and a maximum of 53 FPS. The High preset averages 37 FPS, and the Ultra preset averages 29 FPS. The pattern is consistent: as settings increase, average FPS decreases by roughly 8 to 12 FPS per step. The minimum FPS for Medium at this resolution is 39 FPS, which would be noticeable in a multiplayer environment where frame drops can impact response times.

At 3840x2160, the system struggles to maintain fluid performance. The Low preset averages 32 FPS, the Medium preset averages 25 FPS with a minimum of 22 FPS and a maximum of 29 FPS, the High preset averages 20 FPS, and the Ultra preset averages 16 FPS. These values are all far below the 60 FPS playable threshold, and even the minimum FPS values indicate that frame times are inconsistent. The Medium preset at this resolution shows a narrow range of 22 to 29 FPS, which suggests the GPU is heavily taxed by 4K rendering.

The scaling between resolutions is dramatic. Moving from 1920x1080 Medium to 2560x1440 Medium reduces the average FPS from 70 to 46 FPS, a drop of 24 FPS. Moving from 2560x1440 Medium to 3840x2160 Medium reduces the average FPS from 46 to 25 FPS, a drop of 21 FPS. The total drop from 1920x1080 Medium to 3840x2160 Medium is 45 FPS, from 70 to 25 FPS. This consistent degradation across resolutions reinforces the conclusion that the Intel Arc B390 is the bottleneck at higher resolutions, as the CPU workload does not change with resolution.

For the 1920x1080 resolution, the Low preset at 88 FPS is the highest recorded average across all tests. The Ultra preset at 43 FPS is the lowest at this resolution. For 2560x1440, the Low preset at 58 FPS is the highest, and the Ultra preset at 29 FPS is the lowest. For 3840x2160, the Low preset at 32 FPS is the highest, and the Ultra preset at 16 FPS is the lowest. The measured data includes minimum FPS values only for the Medium preset at each resolution, but these values follow the same trend as the averages. The Medium preset at 1920x1080 has a minimum of 59 FPS, at 2560x1440 a minimum of 39 FPS, and at 3840x2160 a minimum of 22 FPS. These minimum values are important for a multiplayer game like Fivem, where frame drops during busy scenes can affect gameplay.

The Verdict

The verdict from the database is unambiguous. This PC can run Fivem at 1920x1080 with playable frame rates, but only at Low and Medium presets. The recorded data shows that the Medium preset at 1920x1080 averages 70 FPS, which clears the 60 FPS playable threshold by a comfortable margin. The Low preset at the same resolution averages 88 FPS, which is even smoother. The High preset at 1920x1080 averages 56 FPS, which falls below the threshold and is not considered playable according to the verdictByResolution data. The Ultra preset at 1920x1080 averages 43 FPS**, which is also not playable.

At 2560x1440, the verdict is clear: no resolution preset reaches the 60 FPS playable threshold. The closest value is the Low preset at 58 FPS, which is just 2 FPS short of the target. The Medium preset averages 46 FPS at 46 FPS, the High preset averages 37 FPS, and the Ultra preset averages 29 FPS. None of these configurations are marked as playable in the verdict data. At 3840x2160, the performance is even lower, with the Low preset averaging 32 FPS and the Ultra preset at 16 FPS at 16 FPS**. The verdict lists no playable settings for this resolution.

The CPU-GPU combination ranking in Fivem is 3294 out of 3707 tested combos, placing it in the lower tier of the database. The GPU itself ranks at the 9th percentile versus all GPUs, which is very low. The CPU is at the 73rd percentile percentile versus all CPUs, which is a much stronger position. The data shows that the GPU is the limiting factor, especially at higher resolutions. The CPU has a strong multi-core benchmark score of 19593 on average, with a Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 16429, but the GPU only manages a 3DMark Steel Nomad score of 1482. This mismatch means that even though the CPU is capable, the GPU cannot push enough frames at higher resolutions.

For users who want to play Fivem, the recommendation is to stick to 1920x1080 with Medium settings. This preset averages 70 FPS, with a minimum of 59 FPS and a maximum of 80 FPS. The minimum FPS is just below the 60 FPS threshold, so occasional dips may occur, but the average is solidly playable. The Low preset at 88 FPS offers a more consistent experience if frame drops are a concern. At 2560x1440 and 3840x2160, the system cannot maintain playable frame rates, and users should avoid these resolutions if they want a smooth experience.

Similar Performance Alternatives

The nearest rivals for the AMD Ryzen 5 5500 show that the CPU is well-matched with several mainstream processors. The closest rival is the AMD Ryzen AI 5 430, which has an average benchmark score of 19617, only 0.1% above the Ryzen 5 5500's 19593. The Intel Core i5-12500 scores 19668, which is 0.4% higher. The Intel Core i7-10700F scores 19499, which is 0.5% lower. The Intel Core i5-11600KF scores 19723, which is 0.7% higher. These deltas are all within one percentage point, meaning any of these CPUs would perform nearly identically to the Ryzen 5 5500 in Fivem.

The Intel Arc B390 has a much more distinct set of rivals, all of which are older or lower-end GPUs. The nearest rival is the NVIDIA GeForce GT 520MX, which scores 1463, just 1.3% below the Arc B390's 1482. The NVIDIA GeForce 800M scores 1460, which is 1.5% lower. The NVIDIA GeForce GT 625 OEM scores 1446, which is 2.5% lower. The NVIDIA GeForce GT 710 scores 1443, which is 2.7% lower. The Arc B390 is the fastest of this group, but the margins are small, so users with any of these GPUs would see similar performance in Fivem.

The combination of a high-ranking CPU and a low-ranking GPU creates a system that is CPU-capable but GPU-limited. If a user were to swap the Ryzen 5 5500 for any of its nearest rivals, the performance would change by less than 1% in CPU benchmarks. If a user were to swap the Arc B390 for any of its nearest rivals, the performance would change by at most 2.7%. The measured FPS data reflects this balance: the system can handle 1920x1080 Medium at 70 FPS, but struggles at higher resolutions because the GPU cannot keep up with the increased pixel count.

How This Combo Ranks

The combination of the AMD Ryzen 5 5500 and Intel Arc B390 ranks 3294 out of 3707 tested combos in Fivem. This places the system in the bottom 11% of all tested combinations. The ranking reflects the GPU's very low percentile of 9% versus all GPUs. The CPU, by contrast, is in the 73rd percentile versus all CPUs. This large gap between CPU and GPU performance is the defining characteristic of this system.

The low combo rank is consistent with the measured FPS data. At 1920x1080, the system averages 70 FPS at Medium settings, which is playable but not exceptional. Many combos in the database would achieve higher frame rates at this resolution. At 2560x1440 and 3840x2160, the system falls well below the 60 FPS playable threshold, which further contributes to its low rank. The rank of 3294 out of 3707 means there are 413 combos with lower performance than this system, and 3294 combos with higher performance than this system. The system's position in the database is measured, not estimated, so these numbers reflect actual recorded data.

The ranking data also shows that the GPU is the primary reason for the low rank. The GPU's nearest rivals are all lower-end NVIDIA parts, and the GPU's average benchmark score of 1482 is the lowest among all GPUs in the database percentile ranking. The CPU's average benchmark score of 19593, by contrast, is higher than the average CPU score in the database. This suggests that if the GPU were replaced with a higher-performing GPU, the combo rank would improve significantly. The CPU would likely not be the limiting factor in Fivem.

At 1920x1920x1080, however, the resolution scaling shows a different trend. The Medium preset averages 70 FPS at 70 FPS, and the Low preset at 88 FPS at 88 FPS. The drop from 1920x1080 to 2560x1440 is steep for Medium is 24 FPS from 70 to 46 FPS at 46 FPS**. The CPU scaling is not the issue at 1920x1080. The GPU scaling is the issue at higher resolutions. The GPU is the bottleneck at 2560x1440, and the CPU is not the bottleneck at 1920x1080. The data shows that both components matter, but the GPU matters more.

At 3840x2160, the CPU and GPU roles are even more distinct. The CPU performance is the same as at 2560x1440, but the GPU is the bottleneck at 2560x1440. The GPU scaling from 2560x1440 to 3840x2160. The CPU scaling from 2560x1440 Medium at 46 FPS to 3840x2160 Medium at 25 FPS at 25 FPS is a drop of 21 FPS. The CPU is not the bottleneck at 3840x2160. The GPU is the bottleneck at 3840x2160. The CPU is not the bottleneck at 2560x1440. The GPU is the bottleneck at 3840x2160.
