Measured FPS Breakdown

At 3840x2160, the data shows a steep performance curve across presets. Low settings produce an average of 32 FPS. Medium settings average 25 FPS, with a minimum of 22 FPS and a maximum of 29 FPS. High settings average 20 FPS. Ultra settings average 16 FPS. The spread between Low and Ultra at 4K is 16 FPS, indicating that the GPU is heavily constrained at this resolution regardless of quality level.

At 2560x1440, Low settings average 58 FPS, which is the closest any preset comes to the playable threshold at this resolution. Medium settings average 46 FPS, with a minimum of 39 FPS and a maximum of 53 FPS. High settings average 37 FPS. Ultra settings average 29 FPS. The gap between Low and Ultra is 29 FPS, showing that quality presets have a larger impact at 1440p than at 4K.

At 1920x1080, performance improves substantially. Low settings average 88 FPS. Medium settings average 70 FPS, with a minimum of 59 FPS and a maximum of 80 FPS. High settings average 56 FPS. Ultra settings average 43 FPS. The difference between Low and Ultra at 1080p is 45 FPS, the largest spread across all three resolutions. Notably, the minimum FPS at 1080p Medium is 59 FPS, which effectively touches the playable threshold even in the worst recorded frame.

The scaling pattern across resolutions is consistent. Moving from 1080p to 1440p reduces the Low preset average from 88 FPS to 58 FPS, a drop of 30 FPS. Moving from 1440p to 4K reduces Low further from 58 FPS to 32 FPS, another 26 FPS drop. The Medium preset follows a similar path: 70 FPS at 1080p, 46 FPS at 1440p, and 25 FPS at 4K. High settings drop from 56 FPS at 1080p to 37 FPS at 1440p and 20 FPS at 4K. Ultra settings drop from 43 FPS at 1080p to 29 FPS at 1440p and 16 FPS at 4K.

The recorded minimum and maximum values are only available for the Medium preset at each resolution. At 4K Medium, the frame time variance is 7 FPS between minimum and maximum. At 1440p Medium, the variance is 14 FPS. At 1080p Medium, the variance is 21 FPS. This suggests that lower resolutions produce both higher average performance and wider frame rate swings, likely due to the CPU being less of a bottleneck when the GPU workload is lower.

Similar Performance Alternatives

The CPU data places the AMD Ryzen 5 7500F at the 77th percentile among all CPUs, with an average benchmark score of 24964. Its nearest rival is the AMD Ryzen 5 8400F, which scores 25005, a delta of 0.2% faster. The Intel Core i7-11850H scores 24935, 0.1% faster. The Intel Core i7-13620H scores 24911, 0.2% faster than the 7500F. The Intel Core 5 210H scores 24872, 0.4% faster than the 7500F. In practical terms, a user upgrading from the Intel Core 7500F to the Intel Core 5 210H would see less than half a percent difference in CPU compute performance. The gap between the best and worst rival is only 0.6%, meaning all five processors are essentially equivalent in synthetic CPU workloads.

The GPU data places the Intel Arc B390 at the 9th percentile among all GPUs, with an average benchmark score of 1482 from the 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 test. The nearest rival is the NVIDIA GeForce GT 520MX, which scores 1463, 1.3% lower. The NVIDIA GeForce 800M scores 1460, 1.5% lower. The NVIDIA GeForce GT 625 OEM scores 1446, 2.5% lower. The NVIDIA GeForce GT 710 scores 1443, 2.7% lower. The strongest rival, the GT 710, is only 2.7% slower than the B390, meaning these GPUs fall within a tight performance band. The B390 is the fastest in this group, but the margin over the closest competitor is just 1.3%. For Fivem, this means the GPU is the dominant constraint on frame rates, and any of these rival GPUs would produce similar sub-60 FPS results at higher resolutions.

The CPU percentile of 77 versus the GPU percentile of 9 highlights a massive imbalance in this combination. The processor is capable of handling modern workloads, while the graphics solution is positioned near the bottom of the database. In Fivem, the measured frame rates reflect this GPU limitation more than the CPU's capability.

How This Combo Ranks

The combination of the AMD Ryzen 5 7500F and Intel Arc B390 ranks 3294 out of 3707 tested combinations in Fivem. This places the combo in the bottom 11% of all tested hardware pairings for this game. The rank reflects the GPU's low standing in the database, as the 9th percentile GPU combined with a 77th percentile CPU still only produces playable frame rates at 1080p on Low and Medium settings. The rank of 3294 out of 3707 is consistent with the measured data showing no playable settings at 1440p or 4K. The gap between the GPU's 9th percentile standing and the combo's rank demonstrates that the GPU percentile is the binding factor for Fivem.

The rank also shows that many other tested combos outperform this pairing by a significant margin in Fivem. The 3707 total tested combos include a wide range of hardware, and the 3294 rank means only 413 tested combos perform worse. The GPU's nearest rivals are all older NVIDIA parts, and those same GPUs would likely push the combo rank even lower if paired with a weaker CPU. However, with the 7500F, the frame rate ceiling is set by the GPU at all resolutions.

The Verdict

The verdict from the recorded data is clear. At 1920x1080, the combination can run Fivem at playable frame rates on Low and Medium settings. The best playable setting is Medium, which averages 70 FPS. Low averages 88 FPS. High at 1080p averages 56 FPS, which is below the 60 FPS threshold, and Ultra averages 43 FPS. At 2560x1440, no settings achieve 60 FPS. The closest is Low at 58 FPS. Medium averages 46 FPS, High averages 37 FPS, and Ultra averages 29 FPS. At 3840x2160, all presets are far below the threshold: Low at 32 FPS, Medium at 25 FPS, High at 20 FPS, and Ultra at 16 FPS.

The verdict by resolution is that 1080p is playable with Low and Medium presets, while 1440p and 4K are not playable at any preset. For users targeting 60 FPS, this combination requires 1080p resolution and Medium settings or lower. The minimum FPS at 1080p Medium is 59 FPS, which just meets the threshold, but the average of 70 FPS provides a cushion.

CPU and GPU Roles

The data shows a clear division of labor between the CPU and GPU in Fivem. At 3840x2160, the GPU is overwhelmingly the bottleneck. The frame rates are low across all presets, from 32 FPS on Low to 16 FPS on Ultra. The CPU's 77th percentile standing suggests it is not the limiting factor at this resolution. The GPU's 9th percentile ranking aligns with these low frame rates.

At 2560x1440, the GPU still dominates the performance picture. Low settings average 58 FPS, which is just below the threshold, and the pattern across presets mirrors the GPU-bound behavior seen at 1080p High. The CPU scaling from 1080p to 1440p shows a 30 FPS drop on Low, which is larger than the 26 FPS drop from 1440p to 4K on the same preset. This indicates the GPU is the primary constraint at 1440p, with the CPU only becoming more relevant at lower resolutions when frame rates rise.

At 1920x1080, the frame rates are high enough that the CPU begins to matter more. The 88 FPS Low average at 1080p shows the CPU is capable of feeding the GPU well beyond 60 FPS at this resolution. The 7500F, with its high 77th percentile ranking and 22799 Cinebench R23 multicore score, can push frame rates well above the threshold when the GPU is not limiting. The 70 FPS Medium average at 1080p versus the 46 FPS Medium at 1440p shows a 24 FPS drop, and the 88 FPS Low at 1080p versus 58 FPS Low at 1440p shows a 30 FPS drop. These large drops with resolution confirm that the GPU is the dominant factor at 1440p and 4K, while the CPU is sufficient to maintain playable frame rates at 1080p Medium.

The GPU's memory is system shared and its bandwidth is system dependent, meaning its performance is tied to the platform's memory configuration. The CPU supports DDR5 memory with 83.2 GB/s of bandwidth. The GPU relies on that system memory, which adds another layer of dependency. The measured FPS data reflects this architecture: the GPU is weak in absolute terms, and the CPU cannot compensate at higher resolutions.

In summary, the CPU is more than capable for Fivem, but the GPU holds the combination back. At 1080p Medium settings are playable, and the CPU's single-thread performance, shown by a 974 3DMark single-thread score and a 3218 Cinebench R23 single-core score, supports smooth frame pacing at that resolution. The GPU's low 9th percentile standing limits all higher resolutions and presets.
