Fivem

Measured FPS Breakdown

The recorded data for this combination of AMD Ryzen 5 9600X and Intel Arc B370 in Fivem shows a clear progression from playable to unplayable as resolution and preset load increase. At 1920x1080, Low settings deliver an average of 80 FPS, which is the highest measured average across all configurations. Medium settings at this resolution drop to 63 FPS average, with a recorded minimum of 54 FPS and maximum of 72 FPS. High settings at 1920x1080 produce 50 FPS average, while Ultra falls to 39 FPS.

Moving to 2560x1440, the numbers decline substantially. Low settings average 53 FPS, which sits just below the 60 FPS threshold. Medium settings at this resolution average 41 FPS, with a minimum of 35 FPS and maximum of 48 FPS. High settings average 33 FPS, and Ultra drops to 26 FPS. The gap between Low and Ultra at 1440p is 27 FPS, showing how heavily the preset selection impacts performance at this resolution.

At 3840x2160, the results are uniformly poor. Low settings average 29 FPS, Medium averages 23 FPS with a minimum of 20 FPS and maximum of 26 FPS, High averages 18 FPS, and Ultra averages 14 FPS. There are no recorded minimum or maximum values for Low, High, or Ultra at 4K, which suggests the measurement run was either too short or too inconsistent to capture frame extremes. The spread from Low to Ultra at 4K is only 15 FPS, indicating that even the lightest preset cannot rescue this combination at that resolution.

Across all resolutions, the pattern is consistent: each step up in preset costs roughly 20 to 30 percent of the average frame rate. The largest absolute drop occurs between Low and Medium at 1080p, where the average falls from 80 to 63 FPS. The smallest absolute drop is between High and Ultra at 4K, where the average falls from 18 to 14 FPS.

How This Combo Ranks

The database ranks this specific CPU and GPU pairing at 3420 out of 3707 tested combinations for Fivem. That places it in the bottom 8 percent of all recorded configurations, a position that reflects the GPU's limited throughput rather than any CPU shortfall. The Intel Arc B370 sits at the 5th percentile among all GPUs in the database, with an average benchmark score of 1184 in 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12. This is a very low standing, and the nearest GPU rivals in the database reinforce the point: ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5570 scores 1186 (0.2 percent higher), ATI Radeon HD 5770 scores 1190 (0.5 percent higher), AMD Radeon HD 7650M scores 1192 (0.7 percent higher), and AMD FirePro M2000 scores 1168 (1.4 percent lower). The Arc B370 is effectively in the same performance class as a decade-old integrated and entry-level discrete GPUs, which explains why the combo rank is so low.

The CPU tells a different story. The AMD Ryzen 5 9600X sits at the 81st percentile among all CPUs, with an average benchmark score of 29713 across all recorded tests. Its nearest rivals are all within 1 percent: AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 5755GE scores 29656 (0.2 percent higher), AMD Ryzen 7 7840H scores 29868 (0.5 percent lower), AMD Ryzen 7 5800XT scores 29879 (0.6 percent lower), and AMD Ryzen 7 8845HS scores 29955 (0.8 percent lower). The Ryzen 5 9600X is a strong processor, but in this pairing it is held back by the GPU to a degree that makes the overall combo rank misleading if read as a CPU verdict.

What the data shows is that Fivem is heavily GPU-bound with this hardware. The CPU is capable of far more than the GPU can deliver, and the combo ranking reflects the weakest link. A user who swapped the Arc B370 for a more capable GPU would see a dramatic rank improvement, while swapping the CPU would yield almost no change.

CPU and GPU Roles

The division of labor between the AMD Ryzen 5 9600X and the Intel Arc B370 is stark. The CPU has 6 cores and 12 threads, with a base clock of 3.90 GHz and boost clock of 5.40 GHz, and it scores 2183.5 in Cinebench R23 single-core and 17528.5 in multi-core. Those are strong numbers for a desktop processor. The GPU, in contrast, has only 1280 shading units, 40 texture mapping units, and 20 render output units, with a boost clock of 2400 MHz and a pixel rate of 48.00 GPixel/s. Its 6.144 TFLOPS FP32 throughput is modest by any modern standard.

At 1920x1080, the CPU has enough headroom that the GPU is the limiting factor at every preset. The difference between Low (80 FPS) and Medium (63 FPS) is 17 FPS, and between Medium and High (50 FPS) is another 13 FPS. This scaling is consistent with a GPU that runs out of shading and texture throughput as the workload increases. The CPU is not the bottleneck because even at Ultra (39 FPS), the Ryzen 5 9600X is nowhere near its limits.

At 2560x1440, the GPU becomes even more dominant. The frame rate drops from 53 FPS at Low to 26 FPS at Ultra, a 27 FPS swing that is almost entirely attributable to the GPU's fill rate and shading capacity. The CPU contribution is negligible because the resolution increase adds pixel work that the GPU must handle, while the CPU workload for game logic and draw calls stays roughly constant. The recorded minimum at Medium (35 FPS) and maximum (48 FPS) show that frame pacing is also affected by the GPU's limited resources.

At 3840x2160, the GPU is completely overwhelmed. The best average is 29 FPS at Low, and the worst is 14 FPS at Ultra. The 4K resolution demands four times the pixel throughput of 1080p, and the Arc B370 simply does not have the raw compute to keep up. The CPU is irrelevant here; no processor change could make this GPU playable at 4K. The scaling between resolutions confirms this: going from 1080p Low (80 FPS) to 1440p Low (53 FPS) is a 34 percent drop, and from 1440p Low to 4K Low (29 FPS) is another 45 percent drop. These are GPU-bound scaling curves.

The Verdict

Can this PC run Fivem? Yes, but only at 1920x1080 and only on Low or Medium settings. The recorded data shows that the 60 FPS threshold is cleared at 1080p Low with an average of 80 FPS and at 1080p Medium with an average of 63 FPS. High settings at 1080p fall to 50 FPS, which is below the threshold, and Ultra falls to 39 FPS.

At 2560x1440, no preset reaches 60 FPS. The closest is Low at 53 FPS, which is still 7 FPS short. Medium averages 41 FPS, High averages 33 FPS, and Ultra averages 26 FPS. The verdict for 1440p is simply not playable, and the database lists no playable settings for this resolution.

At 3840x2160, the situation is worse. Low averages 29 FPS, Medium averages 23 FPS, High averages 18 FPS, and Ultra averages 14 FPS. None of these come close to the 60 FPS threshold, and the verdict records no playable settings. The best possible outcome at 4K is a slideshow, not a playable game.

The practical advice is straightforward: if you own this combination and want to play Fivem, run it at 1920x1080 on Medium settings. That gives you 63 FPS average with a minimum of 54 FPS, which is acceptable for a multiplayer title where frame consistency matters. Dropping to Low gives you 80 FPS average and a larger safety margin, but the visual quality loss is noticeable. Avoid High and Ultra at 1080p, and avoid all presets at 1440p and 4K.

Similar Performance Alternatives

The nearest CPU rivals to the AMD Ryzen 5 9600X all sit within 1 percent of its average benchmark score. The AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 5755GE scores 29656, which is 0.2 percent higher than the 9600X's 29713. The AMD Ryzen 7 7840H scores 29868, which is 0.5 percent lower. The AMD Ryzen 7 5800XT scores 29879, which is 0.6 percent lower. The AMD Ryzen 7 8845HS scores 29955, which is 0.8 percent lower. In Fivem, any of these CPUs would produce nearly identical frame rates when paired with the same GPU, because the game is not CPU-bound at any resolution with this hardware. The choice between these processors comes down to platform and power considerations, not gaming performance in this title.

The GPU side is more interesting because the Arc B370's rivals are so close that the differences are within measurement noise. The ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5570 scores 1186, which is 0.2 percent higher than the Arc B370's 1184. The ATI Radeon HD 5770 scores 1190, which is 0.5 percent higher. The AMD Radeon HD 7650M scores 1192, which is 0.7 percent higher. The AMD FirePro M2000 scores 1168, which is 1.4 percent lower. All of these GPUs would deliver essentially the same Fivem experience as the Arc B370: playable at 1080p on Low or Medium, and unplayable at higher resolutions. If you are considering a replacement for the Arc B370, you would need to move to a significantly more powerful GPU to change the verdict, not a sidegrade to any of these rivals.

A user who has a system with one of these rival CPUs and the Arc B370 should expect the same measured FPS numbers within a frame or two. The bottleneck is the GPU, and the CPU has enough headroom in all cases.

Best Settings per Resolution

At 1920x1080, the best preset that stays at or above 60 FPS is Medium, with an average of 63 FPS, a minimum of 54 FPS, and a maximum of 72 FPS. This is the recommended configuration for a smooth experience. Low settings also exceed 60 FPS with an average of 80 FPS, but Medium provides a better visual balance while still clearing the threshold. High and Ultra at 1080p are not viable because they drop to 50 FPS and 39 FPS respectively.

At 2560x1440, there is no preset that reaches 60 FPS. The best option is Low at 53 FPS, but that is below the playable threshold. Medium averages 41 FPS, High averages 33 FPS, and Ultra averages 26 FPS. The database records no best settings for this resolution because no preset is playable. If you must run at 1440p, Low is the least bad option, but expect frame rates that are noticeably below 60 FPS and potential stutter in busy multiplayer scenes.

At 3840x2160, no preset is playable. Low averages 29 FPS, Medium averages 23 FPS, High averages 18 FPS, and Ultra averages 14 FPS. The database records no best settings for this resolution. The only reason to run at 4K with this hardware is for static screenshots or non-interactive viewing, not for actual gameplay.

The single best setting for this combination is 1920x1080 Medium. It delivers 63 FPS average, which clears the 60 FPS threshold with a small buffer, and the minimum of 54 FPS means that even the worst frame drops stay within a tolerable range for a multiplayer game. If you prefer a larger safety margin, 1920x1080 Low at 80 FPS is the alternative, but the visual fidelity difference is significant. For the best balance of image quality and playability, Medium at 1080p is the choice.
