Fivem

CPU and GPU Roles

The recorded data for Fivem with this AMD Ryzen 5 7500X3D and Intel Arc B370 combination shows a clear pattern: the GPU is the dominant bottleneck at every resolution, and the gap widens as resolution increases. At 1920x1080 with Low settings, the combo reaches 80 FPS average, but dropping to 2560x1440 Low reduces that to 53 FPS, a 34% loss. Moving to 3840x2160 Low yields just 29 FPS, another 45% drop. This scaling behavior is typical of a GPU-limited scenario, where the Arc B370's modest compute resources are the limiting factor rather than the CPU's six Zen 4 cores with 3D V-Cache.

The CPU's role becomes more apparent at lower resolutions and higher preset settings. At 1920x1080, the gap between Low (80 FPS) and Ultra (39 FPS) is 41 FPS, which indicates that while the GPU is still the primary constraint, the CPU's single-thread performance helps maintain playable frame rates at lower graphical loads. The Ryzen 5 7500X3D's PassMark single-thread score of 3494 places it in the 89th percentile among all CPUs, and its multithread score of 25047 shows strong headroom for multiplayer scenarios with many NPCs or players. However, the data suggests that even at 1080p, the Arc B370's 6.144 TFLOPS FP32 throughput and 1280 shading units cannot fully leverage the CPU's capabilities.

Preset scaling tells a similar story. At 3840x2160, moving from Low (29 FPS) to Medium (23 FPS) to High (18 FPS) to Ultra (14 FPS) shows a nearly linear decline, with each preset step costing roughly 5 FPS. At 2560x1440, the same preset ladder runs 53, 41, 33, and 26 FPS respectively, with a 12 FPS drop from Low to Medium being the largest single step. At 1920x1080, the preset scaling is 80, 63, 50, and 39 FPS, where the Low to Medium step costs 17 FPS, Medium to High costs 13 FPS, and High to Ultra costs 11 FPS. This pattern confirms that the GPU's fill rate and shader throughput are the limiting factors across all resolutions, with the CPU rarely being the constraint.

How This Combo Ranks

Within the database's collection of 3707 tested combinations for Fivem, this pairing ranks 3420th. That places it in the bottom 8% of all tested combos, which is consistent with the Arc B370's own percentile ranking of 5th among all GPUs in the database. The GPU's average benchmark score of 1184 in 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 is remarkably low, and its nearest rivals include the ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5570 (score 1186, delta -0.2%), ATI Radeon HD 5770 (score 1190, delta -0.5%), AMD Radeon HD 7650M (score 1192, delta -0.7%), and AMD FirePro M2000 (score 1168, delta 1.4%). These are all legacy or entry-level mobile parts, which contextualizes why this combo struggles to maintain playable frame rates in Fivem.

The CPU, by contrast, is a strong performer. The Ryzen 5 7500X3D's average benchmark score of 44573 puts it in the 89th percentile of all CPUs, and its nearest rivals are all within 1% of its score: Intel Core Ultra X9 388H (44466, delta 0.2%), Intel Core i9-13950HX (44342, delta 0.5%), AMD Ryzen AI Max 385 (44309, delta 0.6%), and Intel Core i5-14600 (44889, delta -0.7%). The CPU is clearly not the limiting factor in this combo's low ranking; rather, the GPU's 5th percentile standing drags the entire system down. The combo rank of 3420 out of 3707 reflects the GPU's weakness, not the CPU's.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the measured results are as follows: Low settings produce an average of 80 FPS, with no minimum or maximum recorded. Medium settings average 63 FPS, with a minimum of 54 and a maximum of 72. High settings average 50 FPS, and Ultra settings average 39 FPS. The playable threshold for this database is 60 FPS, so at 1080p, both Low and Medium presets clear that bar, with Medium being the highest playable preset at 63 FPS average.

At 2560x1440, the numbers drop significantly. Low settings average 53 FPS, Medium averages 41 FPS with a minimum of 35 and maximum of 48, High averages 33 FPS, and Ultra averages 26 FPS. None of these meet the 60 FPS playable threshold. The best result at this resolution is Low at 53 FPS, which is 7 FPS short of the playable mark. Medium's minimum of 35 FPS indicates that even the average frame rate of 41 FPS comes with noticeable dips below 40 FPS, which would be distracting in a fast-paced multiplayer environment.

At 3840x2160, the results are marginal at best. Low settings average 29 FPS, Medium averages 23 FPS with a minimum of 20 and maximum of 26, High averages 18 FPS, and Ultra averages 14 FPS. No preset at this resolution reaches even half of the 60 FPS playable threshold. The minimum of 20 FPS on Medium shows that frame times are inconsistent, and the overall experience would be stuttery. The data indicates that 4K is not viable for this combo in Fivem under any settings.

Similar Performance Alternatives

For the GPU, the nearest rivals in the database are all older or lower-end parts. The ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5570 has an average score of 1186, which is 0.2% higher than the Arc B370's 1184. The ATI Radeon HD 5770 scores 1190, 0.5% higher. The AMD Radeon HD 7650M scores 1192, 0.7% higher. The AMD FirePro M2000 scores 1168, which is 1.4% lower. Any of these GPUs would deliver nearly identical frame rates in Fivem, meaning users with these older cards would see similar performance to the Arc B370 in this game. The practical takeaway is that the Arc B370 behaves like a legacy entry-level GPU rather than a modern part, and upgrading to any more contemporary GPU would be a significant step up.

For the CPU, the nearest rivals are all modern high-end parts. The Intel Core Ultra X9 388H scores 44466, the Intel Core i9-13950HX scores 44342, the AMD Ryzen AI Max 385 scores 44309, and the Intel Core i5-14600 scores 44889. All of these are within 1% of the Ryzen 5 7500X3D's 44573 average score. In a system where the GPU were more capable, swapping the CPU for any of these would yield nearly identical results in Fivem. The CPU's 96 MB of shared L3 cache and 6 cores with 12 threads are more than sufficient for this game's multiplayer workloads, and the bottleneck would remain the GPU in every configuration.

Best Settings per Resolution

At 1920x1080, the best playable preset is Medium, which achieves an average of 63 FPS. This is the only resolution where the combo meets the 60 FPS playable threshold. Low settings also clear the bar at 80 FPS, but Medium is the highest preset that remains playable, and it does so with a comfortable margin above 60 FPS. The minimum of 54 FPS at Medium is below the threshold, but the average of 63 FPS indicates that most of the experience would be smooth, with occasional dips.

At 2560x1440, no preset reaches the 60 FPS playable threshold. The best result is Low at 53 FPS, which is short of playable. Medium at 41 FPS and High at 33 FPS are progressively worse, and Ultra at 26 FPS is not viable. Users at this resolution would need to accept sub-60 FPS performance, and even then, the frame rate would be inconsistent. The recorded data shows no playable settings at 1440p for this combo.

At 3840x2160, no preset reaches even half of the playable threshold. Low at 29 FPS, Medium at 23 FPS, High at 18 FPS, and Ultra at 14 FPS are all far below what would be considered playable. The database records no playable settings at 4K for this combination. Users with a 4K display would need to either lower the resolution or upgrade the GPU to achieve a reasonable experience.
