Fivem

Measured FPS Breakdown

The recorded data for Fivem with the AMD Ryzen 5 5600 and Intel Arc B370 shows a clear resolution ceiling. At 3840x2160, none of the four tested presets reaches a playable average. The High preset averages 18 FPS, Medium averages 23 FPS, Low averages 29 FPS, and Ultra drops to 14 FPS. The only preset with recorded minimum and maximum values at 4K is Medium, which spans 20 to 26 FPS. These figures place the combo firmly below the 60 FPS playability threshold at this resolution, with the best case (Low) still less than half of the target.

Moving to 2560x1440, the situation improves but remains sub-60 across all presets. Low settings produce an average of 53 FPS, which is the closest approach to playability at this resolution. High averages 33 FPS, Medium averages 41 FPS with a range of 35 to 48 FPS, and Ultra averages 26 FPS. The data shows that even the least demanding preset cannot sustain a 60 FPS average at 1440p, though the Low preset comes within 7 FPS of that mark.

At 1920x1080, the combo finally crosses the playability line. Low settings deliver an average of 80 FPS, Medium averages 63 FPS with a range of 54 to 72 FPS, High averages 50 FPS, and Ultra averages 39 FPS. The Medium preset is the most demanding option that maintains an average above 60 FPS, and its recorded minimum of 54 FPS indicates occasional dips below the threshold. Low is the only preset with a comfortable margin, averaging 20 FPS above the playability point. The scaling from 1080p to 1440p is steep: Low drops from 80 to 53 FPS (a 34% reduction), Medium drops from 63 to 41 FPS (a 35% reduction), and High drops from 50 to 33 FPS (a 34% reduction). The 4K results show another sharp drop, with Low falling from 53 to 29 FPS between 1440p and 4K.

Similar Performance Alternatives

The CPU's nearest rivals in the database are closely matched in average benchmark score. The AMD Ryzen 5 5600 has an average score of 20468, while the Intel Core Ultra 7 258V scores 20454, a delta of 0.1%. The AMD Ryzen 5 8500G scores 20425 (0.2% lower), the AMD EPYC 9454P scores 20422 (0.2% lower), and the AMD EPYC 7713 scores 20363 (0.5% lower). For gaming workloads that depend on single-thread and moderate multi-thread performance, any of these processors would produce nearly identical frame rates in Fivem when paired with the same GPU. The Ryzen 5 8500G is the most practical direct alternative for this socket-agnostic comparison, as it shares the same architectural family lineage in the database's scoring.

The GPU's nearest rivals paint a different picture. The Intel Arc B370 has an average benchmark score of 1184, which places it near the very bottom of the database's GPU rankings (5th percentile). The ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5570 scores 1186 (0.2% higher), the ATI Radeon HD 5770 scores 1190 (0.5% higher), the AMD Radeon HD 7650M scores 1192 (0.7% higher), and the AMD FirePro M2000 scores 1168 (1.4% lower). These deltas are all within 1.5%, meaning that swapping the Arc B370 for any of these legacy or mobile GPUs would yield essentially indistinguishable performance in Fivem at the same settings and resolution. The practical implication is that this combo's frame rates are almost entirely constrained by the GPU, as the CPU has ample headroom in this workload.

CPU and GPU Roles

The benchmark data reveals an extreme GPU-bound configuration. At 1920x1080 Low, the combo produces 80 FPS, but at 3840x2160 Low it falls to 29 FPS, a 64% reduction purely from resolution scaling. The CPU's 3DMark scores, including a single-thread score of 882 and a 16-thread score of 5641, indicate strong processing capability that is not the limiting factor here. The GPU's 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 1184, combined with its 5th percentile ranking among all GPUs, shows a component that struggles with modern rendering loads.

The scaling between presets at each resolution reinforces this conclusion. At 1080p, moving from Low to Ultra reduces the average from 80 to 39 FPS, a 51% penalty. At 1440p, the same preset change reduces the average from 53 to 26 FPS, a 51% penalty. At 4K, Low to Ultra reduces the average from 29 to 14 FPS, a 52% penalty. The consistency of this ~51% penalty across all resolutions indicates that the GPU's shading, texture, and rasterization resources are the dominant constraint, with no evidence of CPU bottlenecking even at the lowest settings where CPU overhead would typically be highest.

The CPU's role becomes more apparent when considering the game's multiplayer nature. Fivem is a multiplayer modification, and the database's measurements reflect that workload. The Ryzen 5 5600's 6 cores and 12 threads, with a boost clock of 4.40 GHz, provide sufficient single-thread performance (PassMark single-thread score of 3256) to handle the game's simulation and network logic. However, the data shows that even with this capable CPU, the GPU cannot keep up at higher resolutions. At 1080p, the combo achieves playable frame rates on Low and Medium, which suggests that the CPU can feed the GPU adequately at those settings. At 1440p and above, the GPU becomes the sole bottleneck, as evidenced by the steep resolution scaling that outpaces what CPU-bound configurations typically show.

How This Combo Ranks

The recorded data places this combination at rank 3420 out of 3707 tested combos in Fivem, which puts it in the bottom 8% of all configurations in the database. This rank reflects the GPU's severe limitation: the Arc B370's 5th percentile standing among all GPUs drags the combo down despite the CPU's 74th percentile ranking among all CPUs. The asymmetry between the two components is stark: the Ryzen 5 5600 sits comfortably above average in processing power, while the Arc B370 sits near the bottom of GPU performance.

The rank translates directly to the measured FPS results. Only two settings at 1080p (Low and Medium) achieve playable averages, and no settings at 1440p or 4K do so. This places the combo in a narrow usability window: it can run Fivem acceptably at 1080p with reduced visual quality, but it cannot handle higher resolutions or demanding presets. The 3420 rank out of 3707 combos means that roughly 92% of tested configurations perform better in this game, which is consistent with the GPU's low percentile standing. For context, a combo with a GPU in the 50th percentile and the same CPU would likely rank far higher, given that the CPU's benchmark scores are competitive with the database average.

Best Settings per Resolution

At 1920x1080, the best playable preset is Medium, which averages 63 FPS with a range of 54 to 72 FPS. This is the most demanding setting that maintains an average above the 60 FPS threshold. Low is also playable at 80 FPS average and offers a larger safety margin, but Medium provides higher visual quality while still meeting the playability criterion on average.

At 2560x1440, no preset achieves a playable average. The closest option is Low at 53 FPS, which falls 7 FPS short of the 60 FPS threshold. Medium averages 41 FPS, High averages 33 FPS, and Ultra averages 26 FPS. Players seeking 1440p would need to accept sub-60 frame rates, with Low being the only option that approaches playability.

At 3840x2160, no preset is playable. Low averages 29 FPS, Medium averages 23 FPS, High averages 18 FPS, and Ultra averages 14 FPS. The gap to the 60 FPS threshold is substantial even at the lowest settings, making 4K impractical for this combo in Fivem. The data suggests that this configuration is best suited for 1080p gaming with Medium settings as the recommended balance between visual quality and frame rate.
