Fivem

The AMD Ryzen 5 9600X paired with the Intel Arc B390 is a combination where the CPU is clearly the dominant component, while the GPU represents a significant bottleneck in nearly every scenario. The recorded data shows that this pairing ranks at 3294 out of 3707 tested combos for Fivem, placing it in the lower percentile of system configurations. The Intel Arc B390, with its 1536 shading units and 7.680 TFLOPS of FP32 performance, sits at the 9th percentile among all GPUs in the database, which explains the overall system ranking. This is a configuration where the processor has substantial headroom, but the graphics adapter limits the final output.

Similar Performance Alternatives

The database comparison for the CPU shows that the AMD Ryzen 5 9600X has an average benchmark score of 29713, placing it in the 81st percentile among all CPUs tested. Its nearest rivals include the AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 5755GE with an average score of 29656, which is only 0.2 percent slower, making it a nearly identical performer. The AMD Ryzen 7 7840H scores 29868, putting it 0.5 percent ahead, while the AMD Ryzen 7 5800XT reaches 29879, a 0.6 percent advantage. The AMD Ryzen 7 8845HS completes the group with 29955, which is 0.8 percent faster than the 9600X. These four processors would all behave similarly in a Fivem system, offering comparable CPU-bound performance, though the 9600X does have a slight edge in single-threaded workloads with its 3dmark_single_thread score of 1253 and geekbench_singlecore result of 2923.

On the graphics side, the Intel Arc B390 is an outlier in its performance class. Its only recorded benchmark, 3dmark_steel_nomad_dx12, yields a score of 1482, which places it in the 9th percentile of all GPUs. The nearest rivals are all NVIDIA parts from a much older generation: the GeForce GT 520MX scores 1463 (1.3 percent slower), the GeForce 800M scores 1460 (1.5 percent slower), the GeForce GT 625 OEM scores 1446 (2.5 percent slower), and the GeForce GT 710 scores 1443 (2.7 percent slower). For Fivem, a system with any of these GPUs would produce nearly identical frame rates, meaning the Arc B390 behaves like a very modest graphics solution from several generations ago, despite its modern Xe3-LPG architecture and DirectX 12 Ultimate support.

How This Combo Ranks

The combination of the AMD Ryzen 5 9600X and Intel Arc B390 achieves a rank of 3294 out of 3707 tested combinations for Fivem. This places the system in the bottom 11 percent of all configurations in the database, a position driven almost entirely by the GPU's low benchmark performance. The CPU's 81st percentile standing does little to lift the overall ranking because the graphics adapter is the limiting factor in this game.

The measured FPS data confirms this imbalance. At 1080p with Low settings, the system reaches 88 FPS, but this is the only resolution and preset combination that approaches a smooth experience. The rank of 3294 reflects that most tested combos outperform this pairing, particularly those with mid-range or higher-tier graphics cards, even when paired with less capable processors. The data shows that the CPU has enough compute power, with a cinebench_r23_multicore score of 17528.5, to handle Fivem's logic and physics, but the GPU's throughput, measured at 60.00 GPixel/s pixel rate and 120.0 GTexel/s texture rate, caps the output well below what the processor could support.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 3840x2160 resolution, the recorded FPS values are consistently low across all settings. With High settings, the average is 20 FPS with no min or max recorded. Low settings improve the average to 32 FPS. Medium settings produce an average of 25 FPS with a minimum of 22 and maximum of 29. Ultra settings drop to 16 FPS average. None of these results come close to the 60 FPS playable threshold, and even the best case, Low at 32 FPS, is far below acceptable smoothness for a multiplayer game.

Moving to 2560x1440, the performance improves but remains insufficient for smooth play. High settings yield an average of 37 FPS. Low settings reach 58 FPS, which is just 2 FPS short of the 60 FPS threshold. Medium settings average 46 FPS with a range of 39 to 53. Ultra settings fall to 29 FPS. The data indicates that no settings preset at this resolution manages to stay at or above 60 FPS, meaning the system cannot deliver a consistently playable experience at 1440p.

At 1920x1080, the results finally approach playability. High settings average 56 FPS, still 4 FPS below the threshold. Low settings reach 88 FPS, comfortably above 60. Medium settings average 70 FPS with a minimum of 59 and maximum of 80, which clears the threshold on average but dips slightly below at the minimum. Ultra settings drop to 43 FPS, back into unplayable territory. The verdict data confirms that only Low and Medium at 1080p are classified as playable settings, with Medium being the best option at 70 FPS average.

The Verdict

The verdict by resolution is clear: this system cannot run Fivem at 60 FPS or above at 3840x2160 or 2560x1440 under any settings preset. The database lists no playable settings for either of these resolutions, meaning even the lowest quality preset fails to reach the 60 FPS threshold. At 4K, the best recorded result is 32 FPS on Low, while at 1440p the best is 58 FPS on Low, both below the playable mark.

At 1920x1080, the system achieves playability with two settings presets. Low settings run at 88 FPS average, and Medium settings run at 70 FPS average. The best settings preset that stays at or above 60 FPS is Medium, with an average of 70 FPS, though the recorded minimum of 59 FPS means occasional dips below the threshold. The verdict data specifies that Medium is the best settings at 1080p, delivering a 70 FPS average. For a multiplayer game like Fivem, where consistency matters, users should expect to play at 1080p with Medium or Low settings, with the understanding that the GPU's 9th percentile standing limits the experience to modest visual quality.

Best Settings per Resolution

At 3840x2160, no settings preset meets the 60 FPS threshold, so there is no recommended preset for this resolution. The data records no playable settings at 4K.

At 2560x1440, no settings preset meets the 60 FPS threshold either. The closest is Low at 58 FPS, but that falls short of the playable mark.

At 1920x1080, the most demanding preset that stays at or above 60 FPS is Medium, which achieves an average of 70 FPS with a minimum of 59 and maximum of 80. Low settings also clear the threshold with 88 FPS average, but Medium offers the better visual quality while still maintaining playable frame rates. Users seeking the highest fidelity should select Medium at 1080p, while those prioritizing smoothness above all else can opt for Low to gain additional headroom.
