Fivem

Best Settings per Resolution

The recorded data shows that this combination of AMD Ryzen 5 8400F and Intel Arc B370 struggles to maintain smooth gameplay at higher resolutions. At 3840x2160, the most demanding preset that keeps the frame rate at or above 60 FPS does not exist; every settings level falls far short of the playable threshold. The highest average recorded at this resolution is 29 FPS on Low settings, which is less than half of the 60 FPS target.

At 2560x1440, the situation improves slightly but remains below the playable threshold across all presets. The best result comes from Low settings with an average of 53 FPS, still 7 FPS short of 60. Medium settings produce 41 FPS on average, while High and Ultra drop to 33 FPS and 26 FPS respectively. No settings combination at this resolution crosses the 60 FPS line.

The only resolution where this PC can hit the 60 FPS target is 1920x1080. The most demanding preset that stays at or above 60 FPS is Medium, which delivers an average of 63 FPS with a minimum of 54 FPS and a maximum of 72 FPS. Low settings at this resolution achieve 80 FPS on average, but since Medium is more visually demanding and still clears the threshold, it stands as the best playable setting. High settings fall to 50 FPS, and Ultra drops to 39 FPS, both below the playable mark.

CPU and GPU Roles

The benchmark data reveals a clear pattern: the Intel Arc B370 is the limiting factor in this pairing, and its influence becomes more pronounced as resolution increases. The GPU is an integrated-class part with a 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 1184, placing it in the 5th percentile of all GPUs. Its nearest rivals include legacy parts like the ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5570 and AMD Radeon HD 7650M, which suggests the graphics side of this system is extremely modest.

Looking at scaling across resolutions, the frame rate drops dramatically as pixel count rises. At Medium settings, the average goes from 63 FPS at 1920x1080, down to 41 FPS at 2560x1440 (a 35% reduction), and further to 23 FPS at 3840x2160 (a 63% reduction from 1080p). This steep decline indicates that the GPU is saturated well before the CPU becomes a concern. The CPU, by contrast, is a relatively strong part: the Ryzen 5 8400F scores in the 77th percentile of all CPUs with a Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 20851 and a single-core score of 2943. Its nearest rivals include the Ryzen 5 7500F and Intel Core i7-13620H, both of which are capable desktop or mobile processors.

At 1920x1080, the gap between Low and Medium settings is 17 FPS (80 vs 63), while the gap between Medium and High is 13 FPS (63 vs 50). At 2560x1440, the same setting steps produce smaller absolute differences: Low to Medium is 12 FPS, Medium to High is 8 FPS. This compression of frame rates at higher resolutions further confirms that the GPU is the bottleneck; when the pixel workload grows, the differences between quality presets shrink because the GPU is already at its limit.

The CPU's role becomes more apparent when looking at the 4K results. Even at Low settings, the system only manages 29 FPS, and Ultra drops to 14 FPS. These numbers are so low that even a stronger CPU would not help; the GPU simply cannot process enough frames at that resolution. For this game, the data implies that the Arc B370 is the primary constraint at all three resolutions, with the CPU having spare headroom that never gets utilized.

Similar Performance Alternatives

For the CPU, the Ryzen 5 8400F sits in a tight cluster of similar performers. Its average benchmark score is 25005, and the nearest rival, the AMD Ryzen 5 7500F, scores 24964, a delta of just 0.2%. The Intel Core i7-11850H trails by 0.3% with a score of 24935, and the Intel Core i7-13620H is 0.4% behind at 24911. On the other side, the AMD EPYC 9474F leads by 0.4% with a score of 25103. These deltas are all within noise, meaning any of these CPUs would deliver essentially identical frame rates in Fivem when paired with the same GPU.

For the GPU, the alternatives are much older and slower parts. The Intel Arc B370 scores 1184 in the Steel Nomad DX12 test. The ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5570 scores 1186, which is 0.2% higher; the ATI Radeon HD 5770 scores 1190, 0.5% higher; and the AMD Radeon HD 7650M scores 1192, 0.7% higher. The AMD FirePro M2000 scores 1168, which is 1.4% lower. These are all integrated or legacy discrete GPUs from over a decade ago, and the performance deltas are so small that swapping between them would produce no meaningful change in Fivem. If a user were to consider any of these alternatives, the game would run at essentially the same frame rates.

The Verdict

Can this PC run Fivem? The answer depends entirely on the resolution. At 1920x1080, the system can run the game with playable performance, but only on Low or Medium settings. The verdict data lists both presets as playable, with Medium being the best option at 63 FPS average. This clears the 60 FPS threshold, though the minimum of 54 FPS suggests occasional dips below the target during heavy scenes.

At 2560x1440, the verdict is clear: no settings level is playable. All four presets produce averages between 26 and 53 FPS, all below the 60 FPS line. Even Low settings, which would be the least visually demanding, cannot sustain the frame rate needed for smooth gameplay. At 3840x2160, the situation is even worse, with the best case being 29 FPS on Low and the worst at 14 FPS on Ultra.

The overall ranking reinforces this conclusion. This combo ranks 3420 out of 3707 tested combinations in Fivem, placing it in the bottom 8% of all systems. The data indicates that the GPU is simply too weak for this game at higher resolutions. The CPU is not the problem; it sits in the upper quartile of processors, but the Arc B370 is in the bottom 5% of GPUs. For 1080p gaming at medium presets, this system is adequate. For anything above that, it falls short of the 60 FPS target across the board.

FAQ

How This Combo Ranks

In the database for Fivem, this combination of AMD Ryzen 5 8400F and Intel Arc B370 ranks 3420 out of 3707 total tested combinations. This places the system in the bottom 8% of all configurations. The ranking reflects the severe GPU limitation; the Arc B370's 5th percentile standing among all GPUs drags the overall performance down despite the CPU's 77th percentile ranking.

The data shows that while the CPU is a solid mid-range part, the GPU is comparable to integrated graphics from an older era. The nearest GPU rivals, all scoring within 1.4% of the Arc B370, are legacy parts like the ATI Radeon HD 5770 and AMD Radeon HD 7650M. This explains why the combo rank is so low: in a game like Fivem that relies heavily on GPU throughput, the graphics card becomes the deciding factor. The rank of 3420 out of 3707 indicates that the vast majority of tested systems outperform this one, and only a small number of weaker combinations sit below it.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 3840x2160, the measured frame rates are consistently low. Low settings produce an average of 29 FPS. Medium settings yield an average of 23 FPS, with a minimum of 20 FPS and a maximum of 26 FPS. High settings average 18 FPS, and Ultra settings drop to 14 FPS. No setting at this resolution provides a playable experience.

At 2560x1440, the numbers improve but remain below the playable threshold. Low settings average 53 FPS. Medium settings average 41 FPS, with a range of 35 to 48 FPS. High settings average 33 FPS, and Ultra settings average 26 FPS. Even the best case, Low at 53 FPS, misses the 60 FPS target by 7 FPS.

At 1920x1080, the system finally reaches playable performance. Low settings average 80 FPS. Medium settings average 63 FPS, with a minimum of 54 FPS and a maximum of 72 FPS. High settings average 50 FPS, and Ultra settings average 39 FPS. The data shows that Medium is the highest preset that maintains an average above 60 FPS, though its minimum of 54 FPS indicates that some scenes will fall below the target. Low settings provide a comfortable margin with 80 FPS on average, offering a smoother experience for users who prioritize frame rate over visual quality.
