Fivem

The AMD Ryzen 7 7700X paired with the Intel Arc B390 is a combination that pits a strong desktop CPU against a very weak integrated-class GPU. The Ryzen 7 7700X, a Zen 4 Raphael chip with 8 cores and 16 threads, sits in the 85th percentile of all CPUs, while the Arc B390, an Xe3-LPG integrated part for Panther Lake, lands in the 9th percentile of GPUs. This imbalance defines the system's performance in Fivem: the CPU is never the limiting factor, but the GPU caps playability to 1080p with medium settings. The CPU had a launch MSRP of $399. Benchmark results show that the combo ranks 3294 out of 3707 tested configurations, placing it in the bottom 11% of all systems. The recorded data indicates that only the 1920x1080 resolution with Low or Medium presets clears the 60 FPS threshold, with Medium delivering an average of 70 FPS.

CPU and GPU Roles

The performance scaling across resolutions and presets clearly shows that the GPU is the dominant constraint in Fivem. Moving from 1920x1080 to 2560x1440 at Low settings drops the average FPS from 88 to 58, a reduction of 34%. The same resolution step at Medium goes from 70 to 46 (34% lower), at High from 56 to 37 (34% lower), and at Ultra from 43 to 29 (33% lower). This consistent ~34% penalty when increasing from 1080p to 1440p is typical of a GPU-bound scenario, where the pixel count outpaces the rendering capabilities of the graphics hardware.

The jump from 1440p to 4K is even more punishing. Low settings fall from 58 to 32 FPS (45% drop), Medium from 46 to 25 (46% drop), High from 37 to 20 (46% drop), and Ultra from 29 to 16 (45% drop). The larger percentage loss at 4K reinforces that the Arc B390, with only 1536 shading units and 24 ROPs, simply cannot sustain the fill rate required at higher resolutions. Meanwhile, the CPU's capabilities are far above what this game needs. The Ryzen 7 7700X scores 1987 in Cinebench R23 single-core and 19088 in multi-core, placing it in the 85th percentile. In contrast, the GPU's 9th percentile ranking means it is the bottleneck at every resolution above 1080p.

The data also shows that preset scaling at a fixed resolution is nearly linear, with each step from Low to Medium, Medium to High, and High to Ultra costing roughly 12 to 18 FPS at 1080p. This uniform degradation suggests that the GPU's limited compute and memory bandwidth are the primary factors, not any particular setting that stresses the CPU. The CPU's role is to feed the GPU, and its 8 cores and 16 threads are more than sufficient for Fivem's multiplayer workload, which tends to be single-thread or lightly threaded. The recorded FPS numbers never show a CPU-related collapse; instead, they follow the GPU's resolution scaling curve.

How This Combo Ranks

The combo rank of 3294 out of 3707 places this system in the bottom 11% of all tested configurations. This is a direct consequence of the GPU's extremely low standing. The CPU alone would rank in the top 15% of processors, but the Arc B390's 9th percentile performance drags the entire system down. The average benchmark score of the GPU is 1482, which is comparable to NVIDIA GeForce GT 520MX (1463) and GeForce 800M (1460), both entry-level parts from over a decade ago. The CPU's average score of 35909 is within 0.7% of the Intel Core Ultra 9 185H, a high-end mobile processor. This mismatch means that the system is severely underutilizing its CPU in Fivem, as the GPU becomes the hard ceiling for frame rates.

When compared to other combos in the database, this pairing sits near the bottom because the GPU is simply not designed for gaming at 1440p or 4K. Even at 1080p, the maximum average FPS is 88 at Low settings, which is playable but not exceptional. The rank reflects the overall performance across all tested games and resolutions, and the weak GPU ensures that the combo will struggle in any title that requires moderate to high graphics load. The CPU's high percentile does not compensate for the GPU's lack of throughput.

The Verdict

Can this PC run Fivem? The answer depends on the resolution and preset. According to the verdict by resolution, the system is playable only at 1920x1080 with Low or Medium settings, where the average FPS meets or exceeds the 60 FPS threshold. The best playable preset is Medium, which yields an average of 70 FPS, with a minimum of 59 FPS. That minimum is just one frame below the 60 FPS target, but the average is comfortably above it. At 2560x1440, no preset reaches 60 FPS; the closest is Low at 58 FPS, which is marginal but still below the playable threshold. At 3840x2160, the highest average is 32 FPS at Low, far from playable. Therefore, the system is suitable for 1080p gaming with medium settings, but it cannot handle higher resolutions.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The following table lists all recorded FPS measurements for the AMD Ryzen 7 7700X + Intel Arc B390 combination in Fivem.

| Resolution | Settings | Avg FPS | Min FPS | Max FPS |

|------------|----------|---------|---------|---------|

| 3840x2160 | High | 20 | N/A | N/A |

| 3840x2160 | Low | 32 | N/A | N/A |

| 3840x2160 | Medium | 25 | 22 | 29 |

| 3840x2160 | Ultra | 16 | N/A | N/A |

| 2560x1440 | High | 37 | N/A | N/A |

| 2560x1440 | Low | 58 | N/A | N/A |

| 2560x1440 | Medium | 46 | 39 | 53 |

| 2560x1440 | Ultra | 29 | N/A | N/A |

| 1920x1080 | High | 56 | N/A | N/A |

| 1920x1080 | Low | 88 | N/A | N/A |

| 1920x1080 | Medium | 70 | 59 | 80 |

| 1920x1080 | Ultra | 43 | N/A | N/A |

Only the 1080p Low and Medium entries have average FPS above 60. The 1080p Medium result also provides the only min/max pair that brackets the 60 FPS line, with a minimum of 59 and a maximum of 80. All other presets and resolutions fall below the playable threshold.

Best Settings per Resolution

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 a smooth experience. Low settings also exceed 60 FPS (88 FPS average), but Medium offers a better visual balance while still maintaining a comfortable margin above the threshold.

At 2560x1440, no preset reaches 60 FPS. The highest average is 58 FPS at Low, which is just short of the target. Medium averages 46 FPS, High 37 FPS, and Ultra 29 FPS. Therefore, there is no recommended setting at this resolution; the system would need a more powerful GPU to achieve playable frame rates.

At 3840x2160, the situation is worse. The best average is 32 FPS at Low, with Medium at 25 FPS, High at 20 FPS, and Ultra at 16 FPS. No preset comes close to 60 FPS, so 4K gaming is not feasible with this combo.

Similar Performance Alternatives

The CPU's nearest rivals, based on average benchmark scores, are all within a fraction of a percent of the Ryzen 7 7700X. The AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 5845 scores 35802 (0.3% lower), the Intel Core 7 250H scores 35728 (0.5% lower), the AMD Ryzen AI 7 PRO 350 scores 35719 (0.5% lower), and the Intel Core Ultra 9 185H scores 35670 (0.7% lower). Any of these processors would deliver essentially identical CPU-bound performance in Fivem.

The GPU's nearest rivals are even closer in relative terms. The NVIDIA GeForce GT 520MX scores 1463 (1.3% lower than the Arc B390's 1482), the GeForce 800M scores 1460 (1.5% lower), the GeForce GT 625 OEM scores 1446 (2.5% lower), and the GeForce GT 710 scores 1443 (2.7% lower). These are all low-end or legacy GPUs, confirming that the Arc B390 is positioned at the very bottom of the GPU performance spectrum. A system built with any of these alternative CPUs paired with any of these alternative GPUs would produce nearly the same FPS numbers in Fivem, because the GPU is the limiting factor at all resolutions above 1080p. The recorded data shows that the bottleneck is entirely on the graphics side, so swapping the CPU within this close performance band would not change the outcome.
