Fivem

Intel Core i5-14400F and Intel Arc B370 is an unusual pairing, and the recorded data shows that it is a heavily GPU-limited configuration for Fivem. The Arc B370, an integrated-class part, delivers playable frame rates only at 1080p with lower presets, while the CPU's strong multi-core and single-thread results are largely irrelevant at higher resolutions because the GPU becomes the bottleneck. The database indicates this combo ranks 3420 out of 3707 tested configurations for Fivem, placing it in the bottom 8% of all tested systems, and the measured FPS data confirms that 1440p and 4K are not viable for smooth gameplay.

Similar Performance Alternatives

The CPU and GPU in this system occupy very different performance tiers, and the nearest rivals from the database illustrate this split. The Intel Core i5-14400F has an average benchmark score of 32,279, which places it at the 83rd percentile among all CPUs. Its closest alternatives are all within a fraction of a percent in average score: the AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 8840U (32,233, 0.1% slower), the Intel Core i9-11900 (32,226, 0.2% slower), the AMD Ryzen 7 6800HS (32,354, 0.2% faster), and the Intel Core i7-12800H (32,121, 0.5% slower). These chips would deliver essentially identical CPU-bound performance in Fivem, meaning any of them paired with a similarly weak GPU would produce comparable results.

The Intel Arc B370, by contrast, sits at the 5th percentile among all GPUs with an average benchmark score of just 1,184 in 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12. Its nearest rivals are all legacy parts: the ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5570 (1,186, 0.2% faster), the ATI Radeon HD 5770 (1,190, 0.5% faster), the AMD Radeon HD 7650M (1,192, 0.7% faster), and the AMD FirePro M2000 (1,168, 1.4% slower). The delta percentages show that the Arc B370 is statistically indistinguishable from these decade-old GPUs in raw compute performance, which explains why Fivem frame rates are so low at higher resolutions. For a system with similar behavior, one would need a CPU from the Core 14th Gen class paired with any GPU in this performance envelope.

CPU and GPU Roles

The benchmark results make it clear that the GPU dominates the performance picture for Fivem in this configuration. At 1080p, moving from Low to Ultra presets drops the average frame rate from 80 FPS to 39 FPS, a 51% reduction, while the CPU workload remains constant. At 1440p, the same preset swing goes from 53 FPS to 26 FPS, and at 4K from 29 FPS to 14 FPS. The scaling across resolutions at identical settings shows the GPU limit: at High settings, average FPS falls from 50 at 1080p to 33 at 1440p (a 34% drop) and then to 18 at 4K (another 45% drop). These are textbook GPU-bound scaling curves, where doubling pixel count roughly halves the frame rate.

The CPU's potential is effectively untapped. The Core i5-14400F scores 21,645 in Cinebench R23 multi-core and 3,055 in single-core, with a PassMark single-thread score of 3,701, placing it in the 83rd percentile of all CPUs. In a game like Fivem, which is known for CPU-heavy multiplayer scenarios, this processor would normally be a strong asset. However, the data shows that even at 1080p Low, where the CPU has the least graphics work to wait on, the system only reaches 80 FPS average. The Arc B370's 6.144 TFLOPS FP32 throughput and 25W TDP are simply insufficient to feed a CPU of this class, so the GPU becomes the binding constraint at every resolution and preset tested. The frame rate differences between presets at a given resolution are entirely attributable to GPU load, not CPU performance.

FAQ

Q: Can this system run Fivem at 60 FPS on a 1440p monitor?

A: No. The measured data shows no playable settings at 2560x1440. The best result at that resolution is 53 FPS average on Low settings, which falls below the 60 FPS playable threshold. All other presets at 1440p are lower: 41 FPS on Medium, 33 FPS on High, and 26 FPS on Ultra.

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

A: Medium settings at 1920x1080 deliver 63 FPS average with a minimum of 54 FPS and a maximum of 72 FPS, making it the highest preset that clears the 60 FPS threshold. Low settings also work at 80 FPS average, but Medium is the best visual quality that remains playable.

Q: How does the Arc B370 compare to its nearest GPU rivals?

A: The Arc B370 has an average benchmark score of 1,184 in 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12. Its closest competitors are the ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5570 (1,186, 0.2% faster), ATI Radeon HD 5770 (1,190, 0.5% faster), AMD Radeon HD 7650M (1,192, 0.7% faster), and AMD FirePro M2000 (1,168, 1.4% slower). All are within 1.4% of the Arc B370's score.

Q: Is the CPU or GPU the limiting factor in this system?

A: The GPU is the limiting factor at all tested resolutions. The CPU, Intel Core i5-14400F, performs at the 83rd percentile among all CPUs with an average benchmark score of 32,279. However, the Arc B370 sits at the 5th GPU percentile, and frame rates drop dramatically as resolution increases, which is characteristic of a GPU bottleneck.

Q: What frame rates can I expect at 4K with this system?

A: No preset at 3840x2160 reaches playable status. The highest average is 29 FPS on Low settings, followed by 23 FPS on Medium (with a minimum of 20 FPS and maximum of 26 FPS), 18 FPS on High, and 14 FPS on Ultra. All of these are far below the 60 FPS playable threshold.

Q: How does this system rank among all tested configurations for Fivem?

A: The combination of Intel Core i5-14400F and Intel Arc B370 ranks 3420 out of 3707 tested combos, placing it in the bottom 8% of all systems tested for this game. This low ranking is consistent with the GPU's 5th percentile performance.

The Verdict

This PC can run Fivem, but only under narrowly defined conditions. The verdict by resolution is clear: at 3840x2160, there are no playable settings; at 2560x1440, there are also no playable settings. The system only achieves playable status at 1920x1080, where both Low and Medium presets clear the 60 FPS threshold. The best playable configuration is Medium settings at 1080p, which produces an average of 63 FPS. The database records 80 FPS on Low at 1080p, so players seeking maximum smoothness should use Low, while those willing to accept a 63 FPS average with occasional dips to 54 FPS can use Medium for better visual quality. At 1440p and 4K, the Arc B370 simply does not have enough rendering power, and the strong CPU cannot compensate for the GPU's limitations. This is a 1080p-only system for Fivem, and even then, it is best suited to lower presets.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 3840x2160, the measured frame rates are consistently below playable levels. Low settings produce an average of 29 FPS. Medium settings average 23 FPS, with a minimum of 20 FPS and a maximum of 26 FPS. High settings average 18 FPS. Ultra settings average 14 FPS. No minimum or maximum values were recorded for Low, High, or Ultra at this resolution, indicating the data collection focused on average performance for those presets.

At 2560x1440, the results are better but still below the 60 FPS threshold. Low settings average 53 FPS. Medium settings average 41 FPS, with a minimum of 35 FPS and a maximum of 48 FPS. High settings average 33 FPS. Ultra settings average 26 FPS. As with 4K, minimum and maximum values were only recorded for the Medium preset at this resolution.

At 1920x1080, the system reaches playable territory. Low settings average 80 FPS. Medium settings average 63 FPS, with a minimum of 54 FPS and a maximum of 72 FPS. High settings average 50 FPS. Ultra settings average 39 FPS. The 80 FPS average on Low is the highest recorded result across all resolutions and presets, while the 39 FPS on Ultra shows the significant cost of maximum visual quality.

Best Settings per Resolution

At 3840x2160, no preset achieves an average of 60 FPS or higher. The best recorded result is 29 FPS on Low settings, which is far below the playable threshold, so there is no recommended configuration for 4K.

At 2560x1440, the same situation applies: no preset reaches 60 FPS. Low settings come closest at 53 FPS average, but this still misses the threshold. Medium settings at 41 FPS, High at 33 FPS, and Ultra at 26 FPS are all progressively worse. The database records no playable settings at this resolution.

At 1920x1080, the recommended configuration is Medium settings, which delivers 63 FPS average with a minimum of 54 FPS and a maximum of 72 FPS. This is the most demanding preset that stays at or above 60 FPS. Low settings also work at 80 FPS average, but Medium offers better visual quality while remaining above the playable threshold. High settings at 50 FPS and Ultra at 39 FPS are not recommended, as both fall below 60 FPS average. The verdict data confirms this: the playable settings list includes Low and Medium, with Medium selected as the best settings and 63 FPS average at that configuration.
