How This Combo Ranks

The database ranks this specific CPU and GPU combination at position 3294 out of 3707 tested combos for Fivem. This places the combo in the bottom 11% of all tested systems, which is consistent with the GPU's individual percentile ranking of 9 out of 100. The CPU, by contrast, ranks in the 83rd percentile among all CPUs, meaning the processor is far more capable than the graphics solution that accompanies it.

The recorded frame rates reinforce this low ranking. At 3840x2160, the combo fails to reach 30 FPS on any preset, with Ultra settings averaging only 16 FPS. At 2560x1440, the best result is 58 FPS on Low, which is just below the playable threshold. Only at 1920x1080 does the system reach playable performance, and even then only on Low and Medium presets. The rank of 3294 reflects a system that is fundamentally GPU-bound in this title, unable to leverage the CPU's substantial compute resources.

When interpreting the rank, it is useful to note that the combo is measured against other CPU and GPU pairings in the database. The CPU's high individual standing does not translate into a high combo ranking because Fivem's performance at the tested resolutions is dominated by the GPU's output. The Arc B390's benchmark score of 1482 in 3DMark Steel Nomad places it near the very bottom of the GPU hierarchy, and the measured FPS values in Fivem align with that low standing.

Similar Performance Alternatives

For the CPU, the AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D has an average benchmark score of 33079. Its nearest rivals are all within a fraction of a percent. The AMD Ryzen 7 8700G scores 33089, which is a 0% difference. The Intel Core i7-13650HX also scores 33089, also a 0% difference. The AMD Ryzen 7 7745HX scores 33091, again 0% difference. The AMD Ryzen 9 PRO 6950H scores 33201, which is 0.4% higher. In practical terms, any of these CPUs would deliver nearly identical performance in Fivem when paired with the same GPU, as the bottleneck is not the processor.

For the GPU, the Intel Arc B390 has an average benchmark score of 1482. Its nearest rivals are the NVIDIA GeForce GT 520MX (1463, 1.3% lower), the NVIDIA GeForce 800M (1460, 1.5% lower), the NVIDIA GeForce GT 625 OEM (1446, 2.5% lower), and the NVIDIA GeForce GT 710 (1443, 2.7% lower). These GPUs are clustered closely together, meaning a system using any of them would produce very similar frame rates in Fivem. The data suggests that swapping the Arc B390 for any of these alternatives would change the average FPS by only a few frames, not enough to cross the 60 FPS threshold at higher resolutions.

The combination of a top-tier CPU with a bottom-tier GPU creates a situation where the user could upgrade the graphics component significantly without any meaningful contribution from the processor changing. The CPU headroom is vast, but the GPU is the limiting factor at every resolution tested.

The Verdict

The verdict by resolution is clear: this PC can run Fivem only at 1920x1080 with Low or Medium settings. At 1920x1080, the playable settings are Low and Medium, with the best settings being Medium at an average of 70 FPS. Low settings at the same resolution average 88 FPS. High settings average 56 FPS, which is below the 60 FPS threshold, and Ultra averages 43 FPS.

At 2560x1440, there are no playable settings. The closest is Low at 58 FPS, which is 2 FPS short of the playable threshold. Medium averages 46 FPS, High averages 37 FPS, and Ultra averages 29 FPS. At 3840x2160, performance is far lower: High averages 20 FPS, Medium averages 25 FPS, Low averages 32 FPS, and Ultra averages 16 FPS.

The data indicates that users seeking a stable 60 FPS experience should run the game at 1080p with Medium settings. This provides the best visual quality among the playable presets while maintaining an average of 70 FPS, with a minimum of 59 FPS and a maximum of 80 FPS recorded. Lowering to Low settings increases the average to 88 FPS but reduces visual fidelity.

CPU and GPU Roles

The recorded data shows a stark division of labor in this combo. The CPU, AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D, is a high-end part with an 83rd percentile ranking and an average benchmark score of 33079. The GPU, Intel Arc B390, is a low-end integrated solution with a 9th percentile ranking and an average benchmark score of 1482. In Fivem, the GPU is the dominant constraint at all resolutions.

Looking at the scaling between resolutions, the frame rate drops are consistent with GPU-bound behavior. At 1920x1080 Medium, the average is 70 FPS. At 2560x1440 Medium, it drops to 46 FPS, a 34% reduction. At 3840x2160 Medium, it drops to 25 FPS, a further 46% reduction from 1440p. These steep drops as resolution increases are characteristic of a GPU that lacks the pixel throughput to handle higher resolutions. The CPU's performance is essentially irrelevant to these scaling patterns, as even the weakest of its nearest rivals would produce the same frame rates when paired with this GPU.

The settings scaling further confirms the GPU's role. At 1920x1080, moving from Low to Medium reduces the average from 88 to 70 FPS, from Medium to High reduces it to 56 FPS, and from High to Ultra reduces it to 43 FPS. This progressive decline with each preset increase indicates that the GPU is the component being stressed by higher quality settings. The CPU would handle these preset changes with minimal impact, given its high multi-threaded scores such as 16817 in Cinebench R23.

At 2560x1440 and 3840x2160, the GPU is even more clearly the limiting factor. The CPU has ample headroom, but the Arc B390 cannot push enough frames at these resolutions. The data suggests that upgrading the GPU alone would yield substantial FPS gains, while upgrading the CPU would yield none, since the current CPU is already far more powerful than the GPU requires.

Best Settings per Resolution

At 3840x2160, there is no playable preset. The highest average FPS is 32 on Low settings, which is well below the 60 FPS threshold. Medium averages 25 FPS, High averages 20 FPS, and Ultra averages 16 FPS. No settings at this resolution are recommended for playable performance.

At 2560x1440, there is also no playable preset. Low settings come closest with an average of 58 FPS, but this is still 2 FPS below the playable threshold. Medium averages 46 FPS, High averages 37 FPS, and Ultra averages 29 FPS. Users at this resolution would need to accept frame rates below 60 FPS or lower the resolution.

At 1920x1080, the best playable preset is Medium, with an average of 70 FPS. This preset delivers a minimum of 59 FPS and a maximum of 80 FPS, meaning it stays at or above 60 FPS for nearly the entire duration. Low settings also clear the threshold with an average of 88 FPS, but Medium offers better visual quality while still maintaining a comfortable margin above 60 FPS. High settings average 56 FPS, which is below the threshold, and Ultra averages 43 FPS.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The measured FPS data provides a complete picture of this combo's performance in Fivem across three resolutions and four presets.

At 3840x2160, the results are as follows. High settings average 20 FPS. Low settings average 32 FPS. Medium settings average 25 FPS, with a minimum of 22 FPS and a maximum of 29 FPS. Ultra settings average 16 FPS. All of these values are far below the 60 FPS playable threshold, and even the highest average (32 FPS on Low) is not smooth enough for comfortable play.

At 2560x1440, the results improve but remain below playable. High settings average 37 FPS. Low settings average 58 FPS, which is the closest to 60 FPS at this resolution. Medium settings average 46 FPS, with a minimum of 39 FPS and a maximum of 53 FPS. Ultra settings average 29 FPS. The Low preset at 1440p is the only configuration that nearly reaches playable performance, but it falls short by 2 FPS on average.

At 1920x1080, the results cross the playable threshold for the first time. High settings average 56 FPS. Low settings average 88 FPS, which is the highest recorded value for this combo. Medium settings average 70 FPS, with a minimum of 59 FPS and a maximum of 80 FPS. Ultra settings average 43 FPS. The Medium preset at 1080p is the recommended configuration, as it provides the best visual quality while maintaining an average above 60 FPS. The minimum of 59 FPS on Medium indicates occasional dips just below 60, but the average is solidly above the threshold. For users who prioritize frame rate stability over visual quality, Low settings at 88 FPS average offer a large margin above 60 FPS, with no recorded minimum below the playable level.
