Fivem

How This Combo Ranks

The AMD Ryzen 7 9700X paired with the Intel Arc B370 ranks 3420 out of 3707 tested combos in Fivem. That places this configuration in the bottom 8 percent of all recorded system pairings for this game. The ranking reflects a fundamental imbalance: the CPU is a high-end desktop processor, while the GPU sits near the very bottom of the database's graphics card distribution, with a percentile rank of only 5 among all GPUs.

The Ryzen 7 9700X itself is a strong processor, scoring in the 86th percentile against all CPUs in the database. Its average benchmark score of 37943 places it just ahead of the Intel Core i9-14901E, which scores 37911, a margin of 0.1 percent. The AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 is nearly identical at 37904, also 0.1 percent behind. The Intel Core 5 211E trails by 0.3 percent with a score of 37829, and the AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P132 is 0.4 percent behind at 37804. These rivals are all within a fraction of a percent, indicating that the 9700X offers no meaningful CPU performance advantage over its closest alternatives.

The Intel Arc B370, however, is a different story. Its single recorded benchmark, 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12, yields a score of 1184. The nearest rival is the ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5570 at 1186, which is 0.2 percent ahead. The ATI Radeon HD 5770 scores 1190, 0.5 percent ahead, and the AMD Radeon HD 7650M scores 1192, 0.7 percent ahead. Only the AMD FirePro M2000 falls behind, at 1168, which is 1.4 percent slower. These are all legacy or low-tier mobile graphics parts, and the Arc B370 sits squarely among them. This explains the overall combo ranking: a top-tier CPU cannot compensate for a GPU that performs at the level of decade-old integrated-class hardware.

In practical terms, the recorded data shows that this combination is only suitable for modest Fivem sessions. The game's multiplayer environments place sustained load on both components, and the GPU becomes the limiting factor at every resolution above 1080p. The combo rank of 3420 out of 3707 is a clear signal that most other tested pairings deliver a better experience.

Best Settings per Resolution

At 3840x2160, the data shows no playable settings. The playable threshold is 60 FPS, and the best average recorded at 4K is 29 FPS on Low settings. High settings drop to 18 FPS, Medium to 23 FPS, and Ultra to 14 FPS. None of these approach the 60 FPS bar, so the verdict is that this resolution is not viable for Fivem with this hardware.

At 2560x1440, the situation improves but remains below the threshold. The best average is 53 FPS on Low settings, which is still 7 FPS short of the 60 FPS target. High settings produce 33 FPS, Medium produces 41 FPS, and Ultra produces 26 FPS. No settings at 1440p clear the playable threshold, so the database classifies this resolution as having no playable settings either.

At 1920x1080, the picture changes. Low settings deliver 80 FPS average, which clears the threshold comfortably. Medium settings deliver 63 FPS average, also above 60 FPS. High settings drop to 50 FPS, and Ultra falls to 39 FPS. The most demanding preset that remains at or above 60 FPS is Medium, with an average of 63 FPS. This is the recommended configuration: 1080p with Medium settings.

For users who prioritize visual quality, High at 1080p is close but misses the threshold by 10 FPS. The recorded data suggests that Medium is the sweet spot, offering a 63 FPS average with a minimum of 54 FPS and a maximum of 72 FPS. This is the only resolution and preset combination where the minimum frame rate stays in a playable range, though it does dip below 60 FPS at times.

CPU and GPU Roles

The data reveals a heavily GPU-bound scenario at all resolutions. The Ryzen 7 9700X has ample headroom, with 8 cores and 16 threads capable of handling Fivem's multiplayer logic, but the Intel Arc B370 cannot keep pace. The scaling between resolutions makes this clear.

At 1080p, the GPU is still the bottleneck, but the gap between settings is revealing. Low settings produce 80 FPS, Medium produces 63 FPS, High produces 50 FPS, and Ultra produces 39 FPS. The drop from Low to Medium is 17 FPS, from Medium to High is 13 FPS, and from High to Ultra is 11 FPS. This steady decline indicates that each preset tier adds significant GPU load, and the Arc B370's limited compute resources are the primary constraint.

Moving to 1440p, the same pattern holds but with lower absolute numbers. Low settings yield 53 FPS, a 27 FPS drop from 1080p Low. Medium yields 41 FPS, a 22 FPS drop. High yields 33 FPS, a 17 FPS drop. Ultra yields 26 FPS, a 13 FPS drop. The percentage reduction from 1080p to 1440p ranges from roughly 34 percent at Low to 33 percent at Ultra, showing that resolution scaling affects all presets similarly. This is characteristic of a GPU that is saturated at every quality level.

At 4K, the GPU is completely overwhelmed. Low settings produce 29 FPS, Medium produces 23 FPS, High produces 18 FPS, and Ultra produces 14 FPS. The drop from 1440p Low to 4K Low is 24 FPS, a 45 percent reduction. The CPU's role is minimal here: the Ryzen 7 9700X could easily drive higher frame rates if the GPU allowed it, but the Arc B370's raw throughput caps performance at every step.

The CPU's benchmark data supports this interpretation. The Ryzen 7 9700X scores 20485 in Cinebench R23 multicore and 2211 in single-core, placing it in the top tier of desktop processors. Its PassMark multi-thread score of 37161 and single-thread score of 4654 further confirm that CPU-side bottlenecks are not present in Fivem. The GPU, by contrast, has a texture rate of 96 GTexel/s and a pixel rate of 48 GPixel/s, figures that align with its low benchmark percentile. In Fivem, the CPU will sit idle waiting for the GPU to render frames, especially at higher resolutions and presets.

FAQ

Q: Can this PC run Fivem at 4K resolution?

A: No. The best recorded average at 3840x2160 is 29 FPS on Low settings, which is far below the 60 FPS playable threshold. Medium, High, and Ultra produce 23, 18, and 14 FPS respectively. The database records no playable settings at this resolution.

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

A: Medium settings at 1920x1080 deliver a 63 FPS average, which is the most demanding preset that stays at or above 60 FPS. Low settings produce 80 FPS, but Medium is the highest quality option that clears the threshold.

Q: Is the Intel Arc B370 the bottleneck in this setup?

A: Yes. The GPU ranks in the 5th percentile among all GPUs in the database, with a benchmark score of 1184. Its nearest rivals are the ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5570 and ATI Radeon HD 5770. The Ryzen 7 9700X, by contrast, ranks in the 86th percentile among CPUs. The frame rate scaling across resolutions and presets is consistent with a GPU-limited system.

Q: What frame rates can I expect at 1440p with Low settings?

A: The recorded average is 53 FPS at 2560x1440 with Low settings. This is below the 60 FPS playable threshold, so the database does not classify 1440p as playable for this combo.

Q: How does the Ryzen 7 9700X compare to its nearest CPU rivals?

A: The Ryzen 7 9700X has an average benchmark score of 37943. The Intel Core i9-14901E scores 37911, just 0.1 percent behind. The AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 scores 37904, also 0.1 percent behind. The Intel Core 5 211E and AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P132 are 0.3 and 0.4 percent behind respectively. These are all effectively equivalent in CPU performance.

Q: Does the game run smoothly at 1080p Medium settings?

A: The average is 63 FPS, which clears the 60 FPS threshold. However, the minimum recorded frame rate is 54 FPS, meaning there are dips below 60 FPS during heavier moments. The maximum is 72 FPS. It is playable, but not perfectly smooth at all times.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 3840x2160, the data records the following averages: Low settings produce 29 FPS, Medium produces 23 FPS with a minimum of 20 and a maximum of 26, High produces 18 FPS, and Ultra produces 14 FPS. No minimum or maximum values are recorded for Low, High, or Ultra, indicating that only the Medium preset had sufficient data variation to capture those extremes.

At 2560x1440, Low settings produce 53 FPS, Medium produces 41 FPS with a minimum of 35 and a maximum of 48, High produces 33 FPS, and Ultra produces 26 FPS. Again, only Medium has recorded minimum and maximum values. The 35 FPS minimum at Medium is notably close to the 33 FPS average of High settings, suggesting that frame pacing can be erratic under load.

At 1920x1080, Low settings produce 80 FPS, Medium produces 63 FPS with a minimum of 54 and a maximum of 72, High produces 50 FPS, and Ultra produces 39 FPS. The Medium preset at 1080p shows the tightest range relative to its average: a 9 FPS spread between minimum and maximum. This is the only preset and resolution combination where the minimum stays above 50 FPS.

The progression across resolutions is consistent: each step from 1080p to 1440p reduces average FPS by roughly 30 to 35 percent, and each step from 1440p to 4K reduces it by another 40 to 45 percent. The data shows no anomalies or outliers; the Arc B370 simply scales predictably with pixel count and quality settings.

The Verdict

This PC can run Fivem, but only at 1080p and only with Low or Medium settings. The verdict by resolution is clear: at 3840x2160, there are no playable settings, with the best average being 29 FPS. At 2560x1440, there are also no playable settings, with the best average being 53 FPS. Only at 1920x1080 does the system clear the 60 FPS threshold, and the best playable setting is Medium, which produces a 63 FPS average.

The practical takeaway is that users should run Fivem at 1080p with Medium settings for the best balance of visual quality and performance. Low settings will provide a more comfortable margin at 80 FPS average, but the game will look noticeably more basic. High and Ultra settings are not viable at any resolution, as they drop below 60 FPS even at 1080p.

The limiting factor is unambiguously the Intel Arc B370. The Ryzen 7 9700X is more than capable of driving Fivem's CPU workload, but the GPU's low benchmark percentile and weak compute metrics cap the frame rate. This is a system for casual 1080p play, not for high-refresh or high-resolution gaming.

Similar Performance Alternatives

For the CPU, the nearest rivals are all within 0.4 percent of the Ryzen 7 9700X's average benchmark score of 37943. The Intel Core i9-14901E scores 37911, a 0.1 percent difference. The AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 scores 37904, also 0.1 percent behind. The Intel Core 5 211E scores 37829, 0.3 percent behind, and the AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P132 scores 37804, 0.4 percent behind. Any of these processors would deliver essentially identical CPU performance in Fivem, meaning the choice of CPU is not a meaningful factor in this combo's ranking.

For the GPU, the nearest rivals are equally close but from a very different era. The ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5570 scores 1186, which is 0.2 percent ahead of the Arc B370's 1184. The ATI Radeon HD 5770 scores 1190, 0.5 percent ahead, and the AMD Radeon HD 7650M scores 1192, 0.7 percent ahead. The AMD FirePro M2000 scores 1168, 1.4 percent behind. These alternatives would produce nearly identical frame rates in Fivem, meaning that swapping the Arc B370 for any of these GPUs would not change the playability verdict: still 1080p-only, still capped at Medium settings.

The data suggests that if a user wanted a meaningful improvement in Fivem, they would need to step outside this immediate rival group. The current GPU is at the 5th percentile, and the nearest competitors are all similarly low-end parts. There is no nearby GPU that would unlock 1440p or 4K playability. The CPU, meanwhile, has plenty of headroom, but no amount of CPU swapping will help when the GPU is this constrained.
