Fivem

Similar Performance Alternatives

The AMD Ryzen 7 5800X sits in a tightly contested performance band. Its average benchmark score of 29,123 places it within 0.6% of the AMD Ryzen 5 5600XT (28,940), and within 0.5% of the Intel Core i5-13500HX (29,270). The Intel Core Ultra 5 135H (29,093) is essentially a dead heat at 0.1% difference, while the Intel Xeon Phi 7210 (29,245) trails by 0.4%. For CPU-bound scenarios in Fivem, any of these processors would deliver nearly identical frame pacing. The Ryzen 7 5800X ranks in the 81st percentile among all CPUs, meaning it outperforms roughly four out of five processors in general compute workloads.

The Intel Arc B390 presents a much more constrained situation. Its sole recorded benchmark, a 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 1,482, puts it in the 9th percentile of all GPUs. The nearest rivals are all legacy NVIDIA parts: the GeForce GT 520MX (1,463, 1.3% slower), GeForce 800M (1,460, 1.5% slower), GeForce GT 625 OEM (1,446, 2.5% slower), and GeForce GT 710 (1,443, 2.7% slower). These deltas are small, but the absolute performance level is low. The B390 is an integrated graphics solution (IGP) with system-shared memory, which explains why its closest competitors are entry-level discrete cards from over a decade ago. For Fivem, swapping the B390 for any of these NVIDIA parts would yield comparable graphics throughput, though driver behavior and feature support differ.

CPU and GPU Roles

The data reveals a stark imbalance between the CPU and GPU in this pairing. The Ryzen 7 5800X is a high-end desktop processor with 8 cores, 16 threads, and a boost clock of 4.70 GHz. Its multi-threaded Cinebench R23 score of 15,476 and PassMark multithread score of 27,732 indicate substantial headroom for game logic, physics, and network code typical of multiplayer environments like Fivem. The Arc B390, by contrast, is a low-power integrated GPU with a 7.680 TFLOPS FP32 rating and just 24 ROPs.

At 1920x1080, the scaling between settings shows the GPU becoming the limiting factor as quality rises. Low settings produce 88 FPS average, Medium drops to 70 FPS, High falls to 56 FPS, and Ultra bottoms out at 43 FPS. That is a 51% performance loss from Low to Ultra, which is characteristic of a GPU-bound scenario. The CPU is not the bottleneck here; the B390's shading units (1,536) and texture units (48) simply cannot sustain higher frame rates at increased quality presets.

Moving to 2560x1440, the same pattern continues but with steeper penalties. Low averages 58 FPS, Medium 46 FPS, High 37 FPS, and Ultra 29 FPS. The resolution jump from 1080p to 1440p costs roughly 30-35% of performance at each setting, which aligns with the pixel count increase of 78%. At 3840x2160, the GPU is overwhelmed: Low averages 32 FPS, Medium 25 FPS, High 20 FPS, and Ultra just 16 FPS. The CPU's role becomes nearly irrelevant at 4K, as the B390's fill rate and shading capacity are exhausted well before the Ryzen 7 5800X's compute resources are stressed.

The verdict is clear: the GPU dictates playability in Fivem across all resolutions. The CPU provides adequate headroom for stable minimum frames, but it cannot compensate for the B390's limited graphics throughput. At 1080p Medium, the recorded minimum of 59 FPS (versus the 70 FPS average) suggests the CPU is still capable of feeding the GPU without dropping frames, but the overall ceiling is set by the integrated graphics.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the recorded data shows a full spread across four quality presets. Low settings deliver an average of 88 FPS, which is the highest figure in the entire dataset. Medium settings average 70 FPS with a minimum of 59 FPS and a maximum of 80 FPS, indicating a playable range with occasional dips just below the 60 FPS threshold. High settings drop to a 56 FPS average, and Ultra falls to 43 FPS. The delta between Low and Ultra is 45 FPS, a substantial gap that reflects the B390's limited shading and texture throughput.

At 2560x1440, the averages compress downward. Low settings produce 58 FPS, just shy of the 60 FPS playable threshold. Medium settings average 46 FPS with a minimum of 39 FPS and a maximum of 53 FPS, meaning the frame time variance is roughly 30% from trough to peak. High settings average 37 FPS, and Ultra averages 29 FPS. None of the 1440p presets consistently clear 60 FPS, and even Low falls short by 2 FPS on average.

At 3840x2160, the results are uniformly below playability. Low settings average 32 FPS, Medium averages 25 FPS with a minimum of 22 FPS and a maximum of 29 FPS, High averages 20 FPS, and Ultra averages 16 FPS. The gap between Low and Ultra at 4K is only 16 FPS, which suggests the GPU is so saturated that quality settings have diminished impact on frame rate. The 4K Medium data, with its narrow 22-29 FPS band, illustrates how the B390's 60.00 GPixel/s pixel rate becomes the hard ceiling.

The Verdict

This PC cannot run Fivem at 60 FPS in the majority of tested configurations. The verdict data lists only two playable settings, both at 1920x1080: Low and Medium. At 1080p Low, the average of 88 FPS clears the 60 FPS threshold with ample margin. At 1080p Medium, the average of 70 FPS also clears it, though the recorded minimum of 59 FPS means brief dips below 60 are possible. The best playable configuration is 1080p Medium, which delivers a 70 FPS average.

At 2560x1440, no settings achieve playability. The closest is Low at 58 FPS average, which misses the 60 FPS threshold by 2 FPS. Given the frame pacing, this would feel borderline smooth but technically fails the playability criterion. At 3840x2160, all four presets fall far below 60 FPS, with the best case (Low) averaging just 32 FPS.

For users who prioritize frame rate over visual fidelity, 1080p Low is the safest choice, offering 88 FPS average with no recorded minimum dips. For a balance of quality and performance, 1080p Medium is the recommended setting, as its 70 FPS average and 59 FPS minimum sit right at the edge of the playable threshold. Higher resolutions or quality presets will result in a sub-60 FPS experience.

How This Combo Ranks

Among all tested CPU and GPU combinations in Fivem, this pairing ranks 3,294 out of 3,707 combos. That places it in the bottom 11% of all systems tested, which is consistent with the GPU's low percentile rank of 9. The Ryzen 7 5800X's strong CPU standing (81st percentile) does not boost the combo because Fivem's frame rates in this dataset are overwhelmingly GPU-limited.

The ranking gap between the CPU and GPU is instructive. The processor is a top-tier desktop part, while the graphics solution is an integrated unit with system-shared memory. In practical terms, this combo performs like a modern office PC with a legacy discrete GPU bolted on. The 1080p Low average of 88 FPS shows the CPU can drive high frame rates when the GPU is not stressed, but the 4K Ultra average of 16 FPS reveals the graphics ceiling.

For builders considering this pairing, the data suggests the Ryzen 7 5800X is wasted on the Arc B390 for Fivem. A more balanced GPU would unlock the CPU's potential, but within this exact configuration, the 3,294 rank reflects a system that is strictly limited to 1080p playable settings. The 45 FPS drop from 1080p Low to 1080p Ultra, and the complete absence of playable 1440p or 4K presets, are the defining characteristics of this combo's performance profile.
