Fivem

The AMD Ryzen 9 9900X paired with Intel's Arc B390 integrated graphics is one of the more lopsided combinations in the database: a 12-core Zen 5 desktop CPU sitting in the 92nd percentile of all processors, attached to an iGPU in the 9th percentile of all graphics solutions. The recorded FiveM results follow exactly the shape that imbalance predicts. Every resolution and preset was measured, and the data shows a single playable configuration: 1920x1080 at Low or Medium settings.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the numbers descend cleanly as detail rises. Low settings average 88 FPS. Medium averages 70 FPS, with the recorded frame range running from a minimum of 59 to a maximum of 80. High drops the average to 56 FPS, and Ultra lands at 43 FPS. Note that Medium's minimum of 59 sits just below the 60 FPS threshold even though the average clears it comfortably, which hints at occasional dips during busier multiplayer scenes.

At 2560x1440 the whole curve shifts down. Low averages 58 FPS, Medium averages 46 FPS with a range of 39 to 53, High manages 37 FPS, and Ultra falls to 29 FPS. The gap between the 1080p Low result (88 FPS) and the 1440p Low result (58 FPS) is substantial, and the same pattern repeats across every preset.

At 3840x2160 the combo is out of its depth. Low averages 32 FPS, Medium averages 25 FPS with a range of 22 to 29, High averages 20 FPS, and Ultra averages 16 FPS. Even the most forgiving preset delivers barely half the playable threshold at 4K.

Across the board, minimum and maximum frame rates were only captured for the Medium preset at each resolution; the remaining entries in the database hold averages alone.

CPU and GPU Roles

Which component limits this configuration? The scaling data answers that question plainly. Moving from 1080p to 1440p costs roughly a third of the frame rate at every preset: Low falls from 88 to 58 FPS, Medium from 70 to 46, High from 56 to 37, Ultra from 43 to 29. When frame rates drop steeply as resolution climbs, the system is GPU-bound, and here the GPU in question is an integrated Xe3-LPG design sharing system memory, with 1536 shading units, a 2500 MHz boost clock, 7.680 TFLOPS of FP32 throughput, and an 80 W TDP.

The Ryzen 9 9900X, by contrast, is almost certainly loafing. It posts 13929 in 3DMark max-threads, 32172 in Cinebench R23 multi-core, 2253 in that same test's single-core run, and 3010 in Geekbench single-core. FiveM is a multiplayer title built on a 2017 release, and its simulation load does not come close to taxing 12 cores and 24 threads. A single-thread score like that would normally be the constraint in an open-world multiplayer sandbox, but with the Arc B390 drawing only 32 FPS at 4K Low, the processor is never the bottleneck in this pairing. The data implies that nearly all headroom sits on the CPU side, unused.

Best Settings per Resolution

Using the 60 FPS playable threshold, the picture is stark:

• 1920x1080: Medium is the most demanding preset that stays at or above 60 FPS, averaging 70 FPS. High at 56 FPS just misses the cut, and Ultra at 43 FPS is well short.
• 2560x1440: No preset qualifies. The closest is Low at 58 FPS, two frames per second shy of the threshold.
• 3840x2160: No preset qualifies, and none comes close. The best result is Low at 32 FPS.

The interesting nuance is at 1080p Medium: the average of 70 FPS is comfortable, but the recorded minimum of 59 means the frame rate touches the threshold's edge during dips. Players sensitive to stutter may prefer Low's 88 FPS average for consistency.

Similar Performance Alternatives

On the graphics side, the Arc B390's neighborhood is telling. Its rivals by average score are the NVIDIA GeForce GT 520MX (1463, a 1.3 percent gap), the NVIDIA GeForce 800M (1460, 1.5 percent), the NVIDIA GeForce GT 625 OEM (1446, 2.5 percent), and the NVIDIA GeForce GT 710 (1443, 2.7 percent). These are entry-level and legacy parts, which frames the B390's 1482 average and 9th percentile standing accurately: anyone with graphics hardware in this cluster should expect nearly identical FiveM results, roughly within a few percent in either direction.

On the CPU side, the 9900X's rivals sit remarkably close. The AMD EPYC 9015 averages 57555 against the Ryzen's 57498, a gap of just 0.1 percent. The AMD EPYC 7313 is 0.2 percent behind, the Intel Core i9-14900 is 1.1 percent ahead, and the Intel Xeon Platinum 8260M is 1.4 percent ahead. Any of these processors would deliver effectively identical CPU-side behavior, but since the game is GPU-bound with this graphics solution, swapping among them would change nothing measurable in FiveM. The lesson from the rival data: this combo's performance is decided entirely by the weakest component.

The Verdict

Can this PC run FiveM? Only at one resolution. The recorded verdicts show 1920x1080 playable at Low (88 FPS) and Medium (70 FPS average), with Medium designated the best setting. At 2560x1440, no settings preset reaches 60 FPS, with Low topping out at 58 FPS. At 3840x2160, nothing is playable, and the best result is 32 FPS at Low. In short: yes at 1080p with modest settings, no at 1440p and 4K. The Arc B390 is a 3 nm integrated design on the Panther Lake platform with DirectX 12 Ultimate, Vulkan 1.4, and OpenGL 4.6 support, so compatibility is not the issue, throughput is.

FAQ

Q: What FPS does this combo get in FiveM at 1080p Medium?

A: The average is 70 FPS, with recorded frame rates ranging from a minimum of 59 to a maximum of 80.

Q: Can it run FiveM at 1440p?

A: Not at the 60 FPS playable threshold. The best 1440p result is 58 FPS at Low settings; Medium averages 46 FPS, High 37, and Ultra 29.

Q: Is the Ryzen 9 9900X the problem?

A: No. The data points the other way. Frame rates fall sharply as resolution rises, indicating a GPU bottleneck, and the 9900X sits in the 92nd percentile of all CPUs with strong single-thread results (3010 Geekbench single-core, 2253 Cinebench R23 single-core).

Q: What graphics cards behave like the Arc B390 here?

A: According to the rival data, the NVIDIA GeForce GT 520MX, GeForce 800M, GT 625 OEM, and GT 710 all sit within roughly 3 percent of its average benchmark score, so expect near-identical FiveM performance from those parts.

Q: Does any preset hit 60 FPS at 4K?

A: No. At 3840x2160 the averages are 32 FPS at Low, 25 at Medium, 20 at High, and 16 at Ultra.

Q: Which settings should I use for the smoothest experience?

A: 1080p Low, averaging 88 FPS, offers the most headroom. 1080p Medium averages 70 FPS but dips to a recorded minimum of 59.

How This Combo Ranks

Within the FiveM results table, this pairing ranks 3294 out of 3707 tested combinations. That placement near the bottom of the field is consistent with everything above: the Arc B390's 9th GPU percentile drags the pairing down regardless of the processor's strength. What the rank does not capture is the shape of the deficit. A moderately ranked combo failing only at 4K reads very differently from one failing at everything above 1080p, and this is the latter. The ranking also invites a question worth asking: how much higher would the same Ryzen 9 9900X climb with even a mid-tier discrete GPU? With the CPU posting a 1286 single-thread 3DMark score and 54643 on PassMark multi-thread, the processor side of this equation is clearly not what holds the rank down. The database positions this as a 1080p-only configuration for FiveM, best experienced at Medium settings, with Low as the choice when frame-rate consistency matters more than visual detail.
