Fivem

The AMD Ryzen 7 7700 and Intel Arc B390 combination ranks 3294 out of 3707 tested combos in the database for Fivem. This places it in the lower 11% of all tested systems, indicating that this pairing is not well suited for delivering high performance in this specific game. The rank reflects the GPU's substantial limitation, as the CPU is a high-end desktop part, but the integrated graphics solution drags the overall combination down significantly.

How This Combo Ranks

The combo rank of 3294 out of 3707 means that roughly 89% of all tested hardware pairings deliver better Fivem performance. This is a decisive result: the system is not competitive for this game. The ranking is driven almost entirely by the Intel Arc B390's position in the GPU percentile, which sits at just 9% of all GPUs. In contrast, the AMD Ryzen 7 7700 ranks in the 87th percentile among all CPUs, a stark mismatch in capability. The data shows a system where the processor has ample headroom, but the graphics solution cannot translate that into playable frame rates at higher settings.

CPU and GPU Roles

The benchmark data reveals a clear bottleneck: the GPU is the limiting factor at every resolution and preset tested. The CPU's synthetic scores, such as a Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 18760 and a PassMark multi-thread score of 34470, indicate substantial processing power. However, the GPU's only recorded benchmark, a 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 1482, places it in the bottom tier of graphics hardware.

Examining the FPS scaling across resolutions confirms this. At 1080p Low, the system achieves 88 FPS. Dropping the resolution to 1440p Low yields 58 FPS, a 34% reduction. Moving to 4K Low produces 32 FPS, another 45% drop. This steep decline with resolution is characteristic of a GPU-bound scenario. The CPU is not the constraint; otherwise, frame rates would remain relatively flat across resolutions.

The scaling between presets at a fixed resolution further supports this. At 1080p, moving from Low to Medium reduces frame rates from 88 to 70 FPS, a 20% hit. The jump from Medium to High drops performance to 56 FPS, a further 20% reduction. These consistent percentage losses align with the GPU's fixed shading units (1536), texture units (48), and raster operations pipelines (24). The CPU, with 8 cores and 16 threads based on Zen 4 architecture, is not being fully utilized in these lower-resolution, lower-settings scenarios; it is waiting on the GPU to complete its work.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The recorded measurements provide a complete picture of this combo's performance envelope. At 3840x2160, the system is largely unplayable. The Ultra preset yields an average of 16 FPS, High produces 20 FPS, Medium averages 25 FPS with a minimum of 22 and a maximum of 29, and Low reaches 32 FPS. None of these approach the 60 FPS playable threshold.

At 2560x1440, performance improves but remains below the target. The Ultra preset averages 29 FPS. High settings reach 37 FPS. Medium averages 46 FPS, with a recorded range of 39 to 53 FPS. Low settings come closest, averaging 58 FPS, but still fall short of the 60 FPS line.

The only resolution where playable frame rates are achieved is 1920x1080. At this resolution, the Low preset averages 88 FPS. Medium settings average 70 FPS, with a minimum of 59 and a maximum of 80 FPS. The High preset drops to an average of 56 FPS, and Ultra falls to 43 FPS. The data shows a clear pattern: only the two lowest presets at 1080p can sustain frame rates at or above the 60 FPS threshold.

The Verdict

This PC can run Fivem, but only under specific conditions. The verdict data is unambiguous: 1920x1080 is the only resolution with playable settings, and those settings are limited to Low and Medium. The best playable configuration is 1080p Medium, which delivers an average of 70 FPS. This clears the 60 FPS threshold with a 10 FPS margin.

At 2560x1440, no settings preset achieves 60 FPS. The closest is Low at 58 FPS, which is marginally below the target. At 3840x2160, the system is not viable for playable frame rates, with the best average being 32 FPS on Low settings. For users with a 1440p or 4K monitor, this combination will require significant settings reductions and still not reach a smooth experience. The system is fundamentally a 1080p gaming setup for this title.

Similar Performance Alternatives

The nearest rivals for the CPU and GPU provide context for what other hardware would behave similarly. For the AMD Ryzen 7 7700, the closest matches in average benchmark score are the AMD Ryzen AI 9 365 (0.1% slower), the Intel Core 5 221E (0.2% faster), the AMD Ryzen 9 270 (0.4% faster), and the Intel Core i9-13905H (0.6% faster). These processors would not change the performance characteristics of this combo, as the GPU remains the bottleneck.

For the Intel Arc B390, the nearest rivals are all older, low-end NVIDIA parts. The NVIDIA GeForce GT 520MX is 1.3% faster, the GeForce 800M is 1.5% faster, the GeForce GT 625 OEM is 2.5% faster, and the GeForce GT 710 is 2.7% faster. These alternatives would produce nearly identical frame rates in Fivem. The data indicates that upgrading the GPU to any of these parts would yield no meaningful performance improvement. The only path to better Fivem performance would be a substantial GPU upgrade to a part outside this performance class.

FAQ

Q: Can this system run Fivem at 60 FPS?

A: Yes, but only at 1920x1080 resolution with Low or Medium settings. The Medium preset averages 70 FPS, and Low averages 88 FPS. All other resolutions and settings fall below the 60 FPS threshold.

Q: What is the best settings preset for 1080p?

A: The best playable preset is Medium, which achieves an average of 70 FPS. The High preset drops to 56 FPS, so it is not recommended for a smooth experience.

Q: Is this system suitable for 1440p gaming in Fivem?

A: No. The highest average frame rate at 2560x1440 is 58 FPS on Low settings, which is below the 60 FPS target. All other presets are significantly lower, with Ultra averaging 29 FPS.

Q: How does the CPU compare to its nearest rivals?

Best Settings per Resolution

At 3840x2160, no preset reaches the 60 FPS threshold. The highest average is 32 FPS on Low settings, which is not playable.

At 2560x1440, no preset reaches the 60 FPS threshold. The highest average is 58 FPS on Low settings, which is marginally below the target.

At 1920x1080, the most demanding preset that stays at or above 60 FPS is Medium, with an average of 70 FPS. This is the recommended configuration for this system. The Low preset also clears the threshold with 88 FPS, but Medium offers a better visual quality while maintaining a 10 FPS buffer above the minimum playable line.
