Fivem

FAQ

Q: What is the best resolution for this PC in Fivem?

A: The only resolution where this system reaches the 60 FPS playable threshold is 1920x1080. At 2560x1440, the highest average FPS recorded is 53 on Low settings, which falls short of 60 FPS. At 3840x2160, the maximum average is 29 FPS on Low, so 1080p is the only viable option.

Q: Which graphics preset delivers the highest playable frame rate at 1080p?

A: Medium settings at 1920x1080 produce an average of 63 FPS, with a minimum of 54 FPS and a maximum of 72 FPS. Low settings at the same resolution reach 80 FPS average, but Medium is the highest preset that stays at or above the 60 FPS threshold.

Q: How does the GPU compare to its closest rivals in raw benchmark scores?

A: The Intel Arc B370 scores 1184 in the 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 test. This is within 1.4% of the AMD FirePro M2000 (1168), 0.2% below the ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5570 (1186), 0.5% below the ATI Radeon HD 5770 (1190), and 0.7% below the AMD Radeon HD 7650M (1192). The GPU sits in the 5th percentile of all tested GPUs.

Q: What is the CPU's performance position relative to other processors?

A: The AMD Ryzen 9 9900X3D ranks in the 91st percentile of all CPUs, with an average benchmark score of 54762. Its nearest rival, the Intel Core Ultra 5 245KF, scores 55093, which is 0.6% higher. The CPU is 1.3% ahead of the Intel Core Ultra 5 245K (54053), 2% ahead of the Intel Xeon 6505P (53701), and 2.1% ahead of the Intel Core i7-14700F (53620).

Q: Can this system run Fivem at 1440p or 4K?

A: No. At 2560x1440, the best average FPS is 53 on Low settings, which is below the 60 FPS threshold. At 3840x2160, the best average is 29 FPS on Low. The verdict data lists no playable settings at either resolution.

Q: What is the overall rank of this CPU and GPU combination in Fivem?

A: This combo ranks 3420 out of 3707 tested combinations in the database. That places it in the bottom portion of all tested systems for this game, reflecting the GPU's limited capability despite the strong CPU.

Best Settings per Resolution

1920x1080: The most demanding preset that stays at or above 60 FPS is Medium, with an average of 63 FPS. The minimum recorded is 54 FPS and the maximum is 72 FPS. Low settings average 80 FPS, but Medium is the highest playable preset. High settings drop to 50 FPS average, and Ultra falls to 39 FPS.

2560x1440: No preset reaches the 60 FPS threshold. Low settings average 53 FPS, Medium averages 41 FPS (minimum 35, maximum 48), High averages 33 FPS, and Ultra averages 26 FPS. The best playable option does not exist at this resolution.

3840x2160: No preset reaches 60 FPS. Low settings average 29 FPS, Medium averages 23 FPS (minimum 20, maximum 26), High averages 18 FPS, and Ultra averages 14 FPS. This resolution is not playable with this hardware.

How This Combo Ranks

The combination of the AMD Ryzen 9 9900X3D and Intel Arc B370 ranks 3420 out of 3707 tested combos in Fivem. This places it in the bottom 8% of all tested systems. The rank reflects a severe imbalance: the CPU is a top-tier desktop processor, while the GPU is an integrated-class part with a benchmark percentile of only 5.

The data shows that Fivem's performance is heavily constrained by the GPU. Even with a CPU that scores 54762 on average (91st percentile), the system cannot maintain 60 FPS at 1440p or 4K. At 1080p, the Medium preset just barely clears the threshold at 63 FPS average. The rank of 3420 indicates that the vast majority of tested combinations deliver better frame rates in this game.

For context, the GPU's 3DMark Steel Nomad score of 1184 is comparable to decade-old discrete GPUs like the ATI Radeon HD 5770 (1190) and ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5570 (1186). These are not modern gaming parts. The CPU, meanwhile, is in the top 10% of all processors. This mismatch explains the low combo rank: the system has a very strong CPU but a GPU that is far below the level needed for smooth gameplay at higher resolutions.

Similar Performance Alternatives

For the CPU: The AMD Ryzen 9 9900X3D's nearest rivals in terms of average benchmark score are all Intel parts. The Intel Core Ultra 5 245KF scores 55093, which is 0.6% higher. The Intel Core Ultra 5 245K scores 54053, 1.3% lower. The Intel Xeon 6505P scores 53701, 2% lower, and the Intel Core i7-14700F scores 53620, 2.1% lower. These CPUs would behave nearly identically in Fivem, since the game's frame rate is not CPU-limited at the settings where this system struggles.

For the GPU: The Intel Arc B370's benchmark score of 1184 is effectively matched by several older graphics parts. The ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5570 scores 1186 (0.2% higher), the ATI Radeon HD 5770 scores 1190 (0.5% higher), the AMD Radeon HD 7650M scores 1192 (0.7% higher), and the AMD FirePro M2000 scores 1168 (1.4% lower). Any of these GPUs would deliver frame rates within a couple of percent of the Arc B370 in Fivem. The practical difference between them is negligible.

Users with these alternative GPUs should expect the same pattern: playable at 1080p on Low or Medium, but not at higher resolutions. The CPU choice among these rivals would not change the outcome, because the GPU is the limiting factor in every measured scenario.

CPU and GPU Roles

The recorded data shows that Fivem's performance in this system is overwhelmingly GPU-bound. Consider the frame rate scaling across resolutions. At 1080p Low, the system averages 80 FPS. At 1440p Low, it drops to 53 FPS, a 34% reduction. At 4K Low, it falls to 29 FPS, a 64% reduction from 1080p. This steep decline with resolution is typical of a GPU that runs out of fill rate and shading power.

The preset scaling at each resolution confirms this. At 1080p, moving from Low (80 FPS) to Medium (63 FPS) costs 17 FPS, from Medium to High (50 FPS) costs 13 FPS, and from High to Ultra (39 FPS) costs 11 FPS. At 1440p, the same progression goes 53, 41, 33, 26. At 4K, it goes 29, 23, 18, 14. In every case, the frame rate drops roughly proportionally with the increased load, and the CPU has more than enough headroom.

The CPU's role is minimal in this configuration. The Ryzen 9 9900X3D has 12 cores, 24 threads, and a boost clock of 5.50 GHz. It scores 47737 in Cinebench R23 multi-core and 6739 in single-core. These are extremely strong numbers. Yet the system still fails to hit 60 FPS at 1440p. This indicates that no amount of CPU power can compensate for the GPU's 6.144 TFLOPS FP32 performance and 20 ROPs.

At higher resolutions, the GPU becomes even more dominant as a bottleneck. The 4K results (18 FPS on High, 14 FPS on Ultra) show that the GPU is overwhelmed regardless of CPU capability. At 1080p Medium, the system just reaches the playable threshold, and the minimum FPS of 54 suggests occasional dips below 60. The CPU is not the cause of those dips; the GPU's limited memory bandwidth (system shared) and low pixel rate (48.00 GPixel/s) are the constraints.

In summary, the CPU is far more capable than this game demands, while the GPU is far less capable than this game requires for smooth play at common resolutions. The data shows that upgrading the CPU would yield no measurable benefit in Fivem, while upgrading the GPU would directly improve all recorded frame rates.

The Verdict

This PC can run Fivem, but only under specific conditions. According to the verdict data, the system has playable settings only at 1920x1080. The playable presets are Low and Medium, with Medium being the best setting that stays at or above 60 FPS. The average FPS at Medium is 63, which clears the 60 FPS threshold by a narrow margin. The minimum recorded FPS is 54, so there will be occasional dips below the threshold, but the average is playable.

At 2560x1440, there are no playable settings. The best result is 53 FPS on Low, which is below the 60 FPS requirement. Medium averages 41 FPS, High averages 33 FPS, and Ultra averages 26 FPS. None of these are acceptable for smooth gameplay.

At 3840x2160, the situation is worse. Low averages 29 FPS, Medium averages 23 FPS, High averages 18 FPS, and Ultra averages 14 FPS. This resolution is not viable for this hardware.

The overall picture is clear: this is a system that can handle Fivem at 1080p with modest settings, but nothing more. The CPU is exceptional, but the GPU is the limiting factor everywhere. The combo ranks 3420 out of 3707, which reflects this reality. Users who want to play at higher resolutions or with higher presets would need a substantially more powerful GPU. For 1080p Medium, the system works, but just barely.
