Fivem

Measured FPS Breakdown

The recorded data for Fivem with the AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D and Intel Arc B390 spans three resolutions and four quality presets. The measurements show a clear pattern: this combination delivers playable frame rates only at 1080p, and even then only with the lower presets.

At 3840x2160, the results are uniformly below the 60 FPS playability threshold. The Low preset averages 32 FPS, which is the best outcome at this resolution. Medium drops to an average of 25 FPS with a recorded minimum of 22 FPS and maximum of 29 FPS. High averages 20 FPS, and Ultra falls to 16 FPS. None of these figures approach the 60 FPS mark, and the spread between presets is relatively narrow, suggesting the GPU is the dominant bottleneck at 4K.

The 2560x1440 results show improvement but remain short of playable. Low settings produce an average of 58 FPS, just 2 FPS below the threshold. Medium averages 46 FPS with a minimum of 39 and maximum of 53. High averages 37 FPS, and Ultra averages 29 FPS. The progression from Low to Ultra is consistent, with each step down in quality yielding roughly 8 to 9 FPS. The near-miss at Low settings is notable: 58 FPS is functionally close to 60, but the database classifies it as unplayable because it does not clear the threshold.

At 1920x1080, the combination finally reaches playable territory. Low settings average 88 FPS, a strong result with ample headroom. Medium averages 70 FPS, with a minimum of 59 FPS and maximum of 80 FPS. The minimum of 59 FPS is effectively at the threshold, meaning brief dips below 60 are possible during heavy scenes. High averages 56 FPS, just below playable, and Ultra averages 43 FPS. The gap between Medium and High is 14 FPS, while the gap between High and Ultra is 13 FPS, showing that the cost of higher quality settings remains steep at 1080p.

The min/max data is only recorded for Medium settings across all three resolutions. At 4K, the range spans 22 to 29 FPS, a 7 FPS swing. At 1440p, the range spans 39 to 53 FPS, a 14 FPS swing. At 1080p, the range spans 59 to 80 FPS, a 21 FPS swing. The widening range at lower resolutions indicates that frame pacing becomes less consistent as the GPU load decreases, likely because CPU performance becomes more influential in determining frame times.

Similar Performance Alternatives

The nearest rivals for the CPU and GPU in this combination provide context for what other hardware might behave similarly in Fivem. These alternatives are based on average benchmark scores, not Fivem-specific measurements, but they indicate comparable overall performance.

For the AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D, the closest matches are all within 0.8% of its average score of 39768. The AMD Ryzen 7 7700 scores 40081, 0.8% higher, making it the strongest nearby alternative. The AMD Ryzen AI 9 365 scores 40048, 0.7% higher. The AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 8840HS scores 39603, 0.4% lower, and the AMD Ryzen AI 7 450 scores 39485, 0.7% lower. In Fivem, where the CPU handles simulation and multiplayer logic, any of these processors would likely produce similar frame rates when paired with the same GPU, though the 9800X3D's larger cache may offer advantages in specific scenarios that the benchmark average does not capture.

For the Intel Arc B390, the nearest rivals are considerably weaker in absolute terms. The GPU's average score of 1482 is compared against the NVIDIA GeForce GT 520MX at 1463 (1.3% higher), the GeForce 800M at 1460 (1.5% higher), the GeForce GT 625 OEM at 1446 (2.5% higher), and the GeForce GT 710 at 1443 (2.7% higher). These deltas are small, meaning the Arc B390 and these older NVIDIA parts occupy a similar performance tier. In Fivem, pairing the Ryzen 7 9800X3D with any of these GPUs would likely yield frame rates close to those measured here, since the GPU is the limiting factor at higher resolutions and presets.

The percentile rankings reinforce this picture. The Ryzen 7 9800X3D sits at the 87th percentile among all CPUs, indicating it is a high-performing processor. The Arc B390 sits at the 9th percentile among all GPUs, indicating it is a low-performing graphics solution. This asymmetry explains the FPS patterns: the CPU is never the bottleneck, while the GPU consistently holds the combination back.

The Verdict

The data shows that this PC can run Fivem, but only under specific conditions. At 1920x1080, the combination clears the 60 FPS threshold on Low and Medium presets. Low averages 88 FPS, providing substantial headroom, while Medium averages 70 FPS, still above the threshold but with a recorded minimum of 59 FPS that suggests occasional dips.

At 2560x1440, no preset reaches 60 FPS. The best result is Low at 58 FPS, which is close but fails to meet the playability criterion. Medium, High, and Ultra all fall further behind, with averages of 46, 37, and 29 FPS respectively.

At 3840x2160, the situation is worse. Low averages 32 FPS, Medium averages 25 FPS, High averages 20 FPS, and Ultra averages 16 FPS. None of these results are close to playable, and the combination should not be considered for 4K gaming in Fivem.

The verdict from the database is clear: 1080p with Low or Medium settings is the only playable configuration. Users who prioritize visual quality over frame rate can run High at 56 FPS, but this does not meet the 60 FPS standard.

CPU and GPU Roles

The division of labor between the AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D and the Intel Arc B390 in Fivem is heavily skewed toward the GPU as the limiting factor. The evidence for this comes from the scaling patterns across resolutions and presets.

At 3840x2160, the frame rates are uniformly low regardless of preset. The spread from Ultra (16 FPS) to Low (32 FPS) is only 16 FPS, and even the best preset falls far short of playable. This indicates that the GPU is saturated at its maximum output, and no amount of CPU headroom can compensate. The Ryzen 7 9800X3D, which sits at the 87th percentile among CPUs, is clearly not the constraint here.

At 2560x1440, the pattern shifts slightly. Low settings reach 58 FPS, showing that reducing GPU load does produce meaningful gains. The jump from Ultra (29 FPS) to Low (58 FPS) is 29 FPS, exactly double the 4K spread. This suggests that at 1440p, the GPU is still the primary bottleneck, but its limitations are less severe than at 4K.

At 1920x1080, the GPU begins to show its ceiling more clearly. Low settings hit 88 FPS, which is well above the threshold and suggests the GPU has more headroom at this resolution. However, the drop from Medium (70 FPS) to High (56 FPS) is a steep 14 FPS, and from High to Ultra (43 FPS) another 13 FPS. This steep decline with each preset increase indicates that the GPU's shading, texture, and rasterization capabilities are quickly exhausted as quality rises.

The CPU's role becomes more apparent in the frame time consistency at 1080p. The Medium preset shows a minimum of 59 FPS and maximum of 80 FPS, a 21 FPS swing. At 1440p Medium, the swing is 14 FPS, and at 4K Medium it is 7 FPS. The widening range at lower resolutions suggests that the CPU is capable of driving frames faster than the GPU can render them, leading to more variable frame pacing. The Ryzen 7 9800X3D, with its 8 cores, 16 threads, and 96 MB of shared L3 cache, has ample capacity for Fivem's multiplayer simulation, but the GPU cannot consistently keep up.

Overall, the GPU is the dominant factor at every resolution. The CPU's high percentile ranking and strong benchmark scores do not translate into playable frame rates at 1440p or 4K because the Arc B390's low percentile ranking (9th among all GPUs) caps overall performance. At 1080p, the CPU's strength shows through in the higher average FPS figures, but the GPU still dictates whether each preset clears 60 FPS.

How This Combo Ranks

The combination of the AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D and Intel Arc B390 ranks 3294 out of 3707 tested combinations in Fivem. This places it in the lower 11% of all combos, which is consistent with the GPU's weak performance relative to the CPU.

The rank reflects the overall experience across all resolutions and presets, not just the playable configurations. While the CPU is a top-tier part, the GPU drags the combo down significantly. The 87th percentile CPU ranking contrasts sharply with the 9th percentile GPU ranking, and the combo rank reflects the weaker component's influence.

In practical terms, this means that most other tested combinations, even those with much weaker CPUs, likely outperform this pairing in Fivem because they have more capable GPUs. The Ryzen 7 9800X3D's performance is largely wasted when paired with a GPU that cannot utilize it fully, especially at higher resolutions.

The rank also implies that users considering this combination for Fivem should expect a below-average experience relative to the broader database. The playable configurations at 1080p are functional, but the headroom is limited, and the inability to run 1440p or 4K at 60 FPS places this combo in the lower tier.

Best Settings per Resolution

At 3840x2160, no preset is playable. The best average FPS is 32 on Low settings, but this falls 28 FPS short of the 60 FPS threshold. The database records no best settings for this resolution.

At 2560x1440, no preset is playable either. Low settings come closest with an average of 58 FPS, just 2 FPS below the threshold. The database records no best settings for this resolution.

At 1920x1080, the most demanding preset that stays at or above 60 FPS is Medium. The average FPS at Medium is 70, with a minimum of 59 and maximum of 80. Low settings also clear the threshold with an average of 88 FPS, but Medium is the higher quality option that still meets the playability standard.

For users who must play at 1440p or 4K, the Low preset is the least poor option, but it does not meet the 60 FPS requirement. The data shows that this combination is effectively a 1080p gaming setup for Fivem, with Medium settings providing the best balance of visual quality and frame rate.
