Fivem

Measured FPS Breakdown

Starting with the absolute highest target, 3840x2160, the recorded data shows a difficult situation across every preset. At High settings, the average frame rate is 20 FPS. Dropping to Medium improves the average to 25 FPS, with a minimum of 22 FPS and a maximum of 29 FPS. Low settings push the average to 32 FPS, while Ultra falls to 16 FPS. None of these averages approach the 60 FPS playability threshold, and the gap is substantial: even the best case at this resolution, Low at 32 FPS, is less than two-thirds of the required performance.

Moving down to 2560x1440, the picture improves but remains below the playable line. High settings produce an average of 37 FPS. Medium reaches 46 FPS, with a recorded range of 39 to 53 FPS. Low settings come close to playability at 58 FPS, but still miss the 60 FPS mark. Ultra drops to 29 FPS. The pattern here is clear: no preset at 1440p clears the threshold, and the closest result, Low at 58 FPS, is only a 2 FPS shortfall.

At 1920x1080, the data finally shows playable conditions. Low settings average 88 FPS, which is comfortably above the threshold. Medium averages 70 FPS, with a minimum of 59 FPS and a maximum of 80 FPS. High settings average 56 FPS, narrowly missing the 60 FPS line. High settings produce 56 FPS, and Ultra falls to 43 FPS. The difference between Low and Medium is 18 FPS, while the drop from Medium to High is 14 FPS, indicating that the scaling between presets is not linear and becomes steeper as settings climb.

The min and max values are only recorded for Medium presets across all three resolutions. At 1080p Medium, the minimum of 59 FPS sits just below the average of 70 FPS, suggesting occasional dips during demanding scenes. At 1440p Medium, the minimum of 39 FPS is 7 FPS below the average of 46 FPS, showing a wider fluctuation. At 4K Medium, the minimum of 22 FPS is only 3 FPS below the average of 25 FPS, indicating a tighter but uniformly low performance band.

CPU and GPU Roles

The AMD Ryzen 9 9950X3D is a 16-core, 32-thread processor with a boost clock of 5.70 GHz and 128 MB of L3 cache, so its raw computational ceiling is extremely high. The Intel Arc B390 is an integrated graphics solution with 1536 shading units, 48 TMUs and 24 ROPs, and its 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score is 1482. The GPU sits at the 9th percentile among all GPUs, while the CPU sits at the 95th percentile among all CPUs. This imbalance is the central story in the measured FPS data.

At 3840x2160, the resolution is heavily dependent on the GPU's fill rate and shading capacity. The Arc B390's pixel rate is 60.00 GPixel/s and its texture rate is 120.0 GTexel/s, which are modest figures for 4K workloads. The FPS differences between presets at 4K are relatively small: Low at 32 FPS, Medium at 25 FPS, High at 20 FPS, and Ultra at 16 FPS. The spread from Low to Ultra is only 16 FPS, which suggests the GPU is saturated even at Low settings, leaving little headroom for graphical upgrades.

At 2560x1440, the same pattern continues but with more room to breathe. Low settings reach 58 FPS, Medium drops to 46 FPS, High to 37 FPS, and Ultra to 29 FPS. The spread from Low to Ultra is 29 FPS, nearly double the 4K spread. This indicates that at 1440p, the GPU still dominates, but the CPU is beginning to provide enough throughput to allow larger preset swings.

At 1920x1080, the balance shifts noticeably. Low settings average 88 FPS, Medium 70 FPS, High 56 FPS, and Ultra 43 FPS. The difference between Low and Medium is 18 FPS, and between Medium and High is 14 FPS. The CPU's high single-thread and multi-thread scores, including a Geekbench single-core score of 3064 and a Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 42018, mean that at 1080p the processor is not the limiting factor. Instead, the Arc B390's fixed shading resources become the bottleneck, and the scaling between presets reflects the GPU's inability to keep up with higher graphical loads even when the CPU has ample headroom.

The verdict data confirms this interpretation: at 4K and 1440p, no settings are playable, while at 1080p, Low and Medium are playable. The GPU's 9th percentile ranking compared to the CPU's 95th percentile ranking strongly suggests that Fivem's performance with this combo is limited by the integrated graphics. At lower resolutions, the CPU can push the GPU harder, but at higher resolutions, the GPU's modest 7.680 TFLOPS FP32 throughput becomes the hard constraint.

The Verdict

Can this PC run Fivem? The recorded verdict data states the playable threshold is 60 FPS, and the answer depends entirely on resolution and settings. At 3840x2160, there are no playable settings. The best average is 32 FPS on Low, which is far from smooth. At 2560x1440, there are also no playable settings. Low averages 58 FPS, just 2 FPS short, but the database does not classify this as playable. At 1920x1080, the system can run the game: Low averages 88 FPS and Medium averages 70 FPS, with a minimum of 59 FPS and a maximum of 80 FPS. The best playable setting at 1080p is Medium, at an average of 70 FPS.

For users targeting 4K or 1440p, this combination is not sufficient for Fivem. For 1080p gaming, it works, but only at Medium or lower presets. High at 56 FPS and Ultra at 43 FPS miss the mark.

Similar Performance Alternatives

Looking at the CPU's nearest rivals in the database, the AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 9755 has an average score of 75738, which is 0.1% lower than the Ryzen 9 9950X3D's 75779. The AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 9755X3D scores 75716, also 0.1% lower. The AMD EPYC 8224P scores 75582, a 0.3% difference, and the Intel Core Ultra 9 285 scores 75488, a 0.4% difference. These CPUs would produce nearly identical CPU-bound performance in Fivem, meaning the measured FPS at 1080p Low and Medium would likely be very similar, since the GPU remains the bottleneck.

For the GPU, the situation is more revealing. The Intel Arc B390's nearest rivals are all NVIDIA entry-level parts. The NVIDIA GeForce GT 520MX scores 1463, 1.3% lower, the NVIDIA GeForce 800M scores 1460, 1.5% lower, the NVIDIA GeForce GT 625 OEM scores 1446, 2.5% lower, and the NVIDIA GeForce GT 710 scores 1443, 2.7% lower. All of these GPUs are within a few percentage points of the Arc B390 in the database's benchmark score, which means any of these alternatives would produce roughly the same FPS levels in Fivem. The 1080p Medium average of 70 FPS would likely shift by only a few frames with any of these rivals, and the 4K and 1440p results would remain below the playable threshold. The CPU's alternatives are much faster than the GPU's alternatives relative to their respective baselines, reinforcing that the GPU is the deciding factor for this game.

How This Combo Ranks

The combination of the AMD Ryzen 9 9950X3D and the Intel Arc B390 ranks 3294 out of 3707 tested combos in Fivem. This places the combo in the bottom 11% of all tested configurations, which is a poor showing for a system with such a high-end CPU. The ranking reflects the GPU's low 9th percentile standing, which drags the entire combo down despite the CPU's 95th percentile performance. In percentage terms, only 413 combos rank worse, meaning this setup is near the bottom of the database's Fivem results. The data suggests that pairing a flagship 16-core CPU with an entry-level integrated GPU results in a system that is severely GPU-bound in Fivem, and the rank reflects that imbalance.

Best Settings per Resolution

At 3840x2160, no preset reaches 60 FPS. The highest average is 32 FPS on Low, but since this does not meet the playable threshold, there is no recommended setting. At 2560x1440, the same applies: no preset reaches 60 FPS, with Low at 58 FPS being the closest but still below the threshold. At 1920x1080, the most demanding preset that stays at or above 60 FPS is Medium, with an average of 70 FPS, a minimum of 59 FPS, and a maximum of 80 FPS. Low also clears the threshold with an average of 88 FPS, but Medium offers higher visual quality while still maintaining playable performance. High and Ultra at 1080p fall short at 56 FPS and 43 FPS respectively. For users who want the best visual experience at a playable frame rate, 1080p Medium is the clear choice from the measured data.
