Fivem

The AMD Ryzen 7 3700X paired with the Intel Arc B390 presents a specific performance profile for Fivem, a multiplayer title built on a modified version of Grand Theft Auto V's engine. The recorded data indicates that this combination is heavily constrained by the graphics solution, with the CPU's substantial multi-threaded capabilities providing a stable foundation that the GPU cannot fully utilize at higher resolutions. The measurements show a system that is viable for smooth gameplay only at 1080p with adjusted settings, while higher resolutions fall short of the 60 FPS threshold.

Best Settings per Resolution

The database records Fivem's performance across three resolutions with four quality presets: Low, Medium, High, and Ultra. The playable threshold is defined as 60 frames per second, and the verdict by resolution is clear.

At 3840x2160, none of the recorded presets achieve an average of 60 FPS. The highest average recorded is 32 FPS at Low settings, which is well below the threshold. Therefore, there is no "best settings" recommendation at this resolution, as the system cannot maintain a playable frame rate at any quality level.

At 2560x1440, the situation improves slightly but remains below the playable threshold. The Low preset yields an average of 58 FPS, which is just 2 FPS short of the target. The Medium preset averages 46 FPS, High averages 37 FPS, and Ultra averages 29 FPS. Since no preset reaches 60 FPS average, the verdict lists no playable settings for this resolution.

At 1920x1080, the system becomes viable. The Low preset averages 88 FPS, and the Medium preset averages 70 FPS. Both clear the 60 FPS threshold. The High preset averages 56 FPS, just missing the mark, and Ultra averages 43 FPS. The best settings at this resolution, meaning the most demanding preset that stays at or above 60 FPS, is Medium, with an average of 70 FPS.

Similar Performance Alternatives

The nearest rivals for the AMD Ryzen 7 3700X, based on average benchmark scores, are the AMD Ryzen AI 7 350 (0.1% higher score), AMD EPYC 4244P (0.1% higher), Intel Core i5-13450HX (0.2% lower), and Intel Core Ultra 7 165H (0.5% higher). These processors have nearly identical aggregate performance, meaning any of them would behave similarly to the 3700X in Fivem's CPU-bound scenarios. The differences are within 0.5%, which is negligible for frame rate output.

For the Intel Arc B390, the nearest rivals are significantly lower-performing GPUs. The NVIDIA GeForce GT 520MX scores 1.3% higher, the NVIDIA GeForce 800M scores 1.5% higher, the NVIDIA GeForce GT 625 OEM scores 2.5% higher, and the NVIDIA GeForce GT 710 scores 2.7% higher. These are all entry-level or legacy graphics solutions. The B390's score is so close to these that in practical terms, a system with any of these GPUs would show nearly identical frame rates in Fivem, given the same CPU and settings.

The data suggests that upgrading the CPU would not meaningfully change Fivem's performance, as the bottleneck lies with the GPU. Conversely, pairing the 3700X with a stronger GPU would be the only path to higher frame rates at 1440p or 4K.

The Verdict

Based on the verdictByResolution data, this PC can run Fivem, but only at 1920x1080 with specific settings. At this resolution, the Low and Medium presets are listed as playable, with the Medium preset being the best option at an average of 70 FPS. The system cannot maintain 60 FPS at 2560x1440 or 3840x2160 under any preset.

At 2560x1440, the Low preset averages 58 FPS, which is tantalizingly close but below the threshold. This means a user would need to accept a frame rate below 60 FPS or lower the resolution. At 3840x2160, the maximum average is 32 FPS on Low, making it unplayable by the defined standard.

The practical takeaway is that this configuration is a 1080p gaming setup for Fivem. It handles Medium settings at 70 FPS average, with a recorded minimum of 59 FPS, meaning it rarely dips below the target. High settings at 1080p would average 56 FPS, which is playable for many but does not meet the strict 60 FPS criterion used in the database.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The recorded measurements provide a detailed view of performance scaling across resolutions and presets.

At 3840x2160, the average frame rates are: Low 32 FPS, Medium 25 FPS (with min 22 and max 29), High 20 FPS, and Ultra 16 FPS. The spread between Low and Ultra is 16 FPS, showing a steep drop as quality increases.

At 2560x1440, the averages are: Low 58 FPS, Medium 46 FPS (min 39, max 53), High 37 FPS, and Ultra 29 FPS. The jump from Low to Medium is 12 FPS, and from Medium to High is 9 FPS, indicating a consistent degradation.

At 1920x1080, the averages are: Low 88 FPS, Medium 70 FPS (min 59, max 80), High 56 FPS, and Ultra 43 FPS. The difference between Low and Medium is 18 FPS, while the drop from Medium to High is 14 FPS, and from High to Ultra is 13 FPS.

Notably, only the 1080p Medium preset has recorded min/max values that bracket the 60 FPS threshold (59 to 80). The 1440p Medium preset records a min of 39 and max of 53, showing consistent sub-60 performance. The 4K Medium preset records a min of 22 and max of 29, indicating very low and unstable frame rates.

How This Combo Ranks

In the database of tested combinations for Fivem, this specific CPU and GPU pairing ranks 3294 out of 3707 combinations. This places it in the lower percentile of all tested systems, specifically within the bottom 11% of configurations.

This low ranking is directly attributable to the Intel Arc B390's performance. The GPU's average benchmark score is 1482, which places it in the 9th percentile among all GPUs. Its nearest rivals are all NVIDIA entry-level models from a decade ago, underscoring its limited graphics throughput.

The CPU, in contrast, performs strongly. The AMD Ryzen 7 3700X sits in the 84th percentile among all CPUs, with an average benchmark score of 34260. This is a mid-to-high-range processor by modern standards. The ranking of 3294 out of 3707 reflects the severe imbalance between a capable CPU and a very weak GPU, resulting in overall system performance that is limited by the graphics component.

CPU and GPU Roles

The data shows a clear division of labor in this system. The CPU, AMD Ryzen 7 3700X, is more than adequate for Fivem. Its 8 cores and 16 threads, based on the Zen 2 architecture, provide ample processing power for the game's simulation and multiplayer logic. The CPU's high percentile ranking suggests it is not the limiting factor.

The GPU, Intel Arc B390, is the decisive bottleneck. The scaling of frame rates across resolutions confirms this. Moving from 1920x1080 to 2560x1440 on Medium settings, the average FPS drops from 70 to 46, a 34% reduction. Moving from 2560x1440 to 3840x2160 on the same preset, the average drops from 46 to 25, a 46% reduction. This steep decline with increasing pixel count is characteristic of a GPU-bound scenario, where the render load outpaces the graphics processor's capabilities.

The preset scaling further illustrates this. At 1920x1080, the difference between Low and Ultra is 45 FPS (from 88 to 43). This large gap indicates that the GPU struggles with higher quality settings even at the lowest resolution. If the CPU were the bottleneck, we would expect less variation between presets, as the CPU workload would be similar across quality levels.

At 3840x2160, the difference between Low and Ultra is only 16 FPS (from 32 to 16). This smaller absolute spread at 4K suggests that even the Low preset overwhelms the GPU, so increasing settings has a relatively smaller impact because the GPU is already saturated. The CPU is likely idle waiting for the GPU at this resolution.

In summary, the CPU provides a stable foundation that never becomes a constraint in Fivem. The GPU dictates all performance outcomes, and its limitations are exposed at resolutions above 1080p and at higher quality presets. For this game, the Intel Arc B390 is the component that determines playability, and it only allows for Medium settings at 1080p to hit the 60 FPS target.
