Fivem

Similar Performance Alternatives

The Intel Core i7-12700KF sits in a tightly contested performance bracket. Its average benchmark score of 35365 places it within 0.2% of the Intel Core i7-12700K, which scores 35287, making those two effectively interchangeable in real-world workloads. The Core i7-13700T scores 35403, a negligible 0.1% advantage, while the Core i5-13600T trails by just 0.2% at 35305. The Intel Core 5 213PE rounds out the group at 35428, also within 0.2%. For Fivem, any of these four CPUs would deliver nearly identical frame pacing and physics simulation behavior, so if the i7-12700KF is unavailable, swapping to the i7-13700T or i5-13600T would not meaningfully alter the experience.

The GPU side is a different story. The Intel Arc B390 scores 1482 in the 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 test, which puts it at the 9th percentile among all GPUs. Its nearest rivals are all legacy NVIDIA parts: the GeForce GT 520MX scores 1463, a 1.3% deficit; the GeForce 800M scores 1460, 1.5% behind; the GeForce GT 625 OEM scores 1446, 2.5% behind; and the GeForce GT 710 scores 1443, 2.7% behind. The B390 leads this group, but the margins are small enough that all five parts should produce similar frame rates in Fivem. None of these alternatives offers a meaningful performance advantage, and the B390's edge over the GT 710 is the largest gap in the cluster at just 2.7%. For a player upgrading from any of those older NVIDIA cards, the B390 would feel like a sidegrade rather than a step forward.

How This Combo Ranks

The database ranks this specific CPU and GPU pairing at 3294 out of 3707 tested combinations for Fivem. That places it in the bottom 11% of all combos tested, which is a poor result for a game that is not particularly demanding by modern standards. The combination of a very strong CPU (the i7-12700KF sits at the 85th percentile among all CPUs) with a very weak GPU (the B390 sits at the 9th percentile) creates a heavily CPU-bottlenecked system at lower resolutions, but the GPU becomes the limiting factor as resolution climbs. The rank reflects the overall balanced performance across all tested games, and for Fivem specifically, the data shows the combo struggling to maintain smooth frame rates at higher settings. This is not a pairing that competitive or high-refresh players would choose; it is closer to an entry-level configuration that happens to have an unusually capable processor attached.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 3840x2160, the B390 delivers 20 FPS on High, 32 FPS on Low, 25 FPS on Medium (with a minimum of 22 and maximum of 29), and 16 FPS on Ultra. None of these results approach the 60 FPS threshold, and even the best case, Low at 32 FPS, falls well short of smooth gameplay. The gap between Low and Ultra is 16 FPS, showing that the GPU has very little headroom at 4K regardless of how much visual quality is sacrificed.

At 2560x1440, the picture improves but remains below playable. High settings produce 37 FPS, Low produces 58 FPS, Medium produces 46 FPS with a minimum of 39 and maximum of 53, and Ultra drops to 29 FPS. The Low preset at 58 FPS is the closest this combo gets to 60 at 1440p, but it still misses the mark by 2 FPS. The scaling from Low to Ultra is a 29 FPS drop, which indicates the B390 cannot sustain acceptable performance at this resolution even at its most forgiving settings.

At 1920x1080, the combo finally reaches playable territory. Low settings produce 88 FPS, Medium produces 70 FPS with a minimum of 59 and maximum of 80, High produces 56 FPS, and Ultra produces 43 FPS. The Medium preset is the sweet spot: it clears the 60 FPS average threshold, though the recorded minimum of 59 FPS shows that brief dips below 60 can occur. High falls just shy at 56 FPS, and Ultra is 17 FPS below the target. The jump from Low to Medium costs 18 FPS, while the jump from Medium to High costs 14 FPS, and High to Ultra costs another 13 FPS.

The Verdict

This PC can run Fivem, but only at 1080p and only on specific presets. The verdict data lists no playable settings at 3840x2160 and no playable settings at 2560x1440; both resolutions fail to reach the 60 FPS threshold on any preset. At 1920x1080, the playable settings are Low and Medium, with Medium being the best option at 70 FPS average. High settings at 1080p sit at 56 FPS, which is below the playable threshold, and Ultra is worse at 43 FPS. For a game like Fivem, which is often played in multiplayer scenarios with many players on screen, frame drops below the average are likely, so the Medium preset's 59 FPS minimum is worth noting. The data suggests that players who want to maintain a stable 60 FPS should lock to 1080p Medium and accept the occasional dip, or drop to Low for a more comfortable margin at 88 FPS average. At 1440p or 4K, this system will not deliver a satisfying experience regardless of settings.

CPU and GPU Roles

The Intel Core i7-12700KF is a high-end 12-core, 20-thread Alder Lake processor with a boost clock of 5.00 GHz and a 25 MB shared L3 cache. It sits at the 85th percentile among all CPUs, and its nearest rivals are all within 0.2% of its average score. This is a CPU that can handle heavy simulation workloads, many background tasks, and the CPU-bound aspects of multiplayer games like Fivem, which often involves complex server-side and client-side scripting. The Intel Arc B390, by contrast, is a 3 nm integrated-class GPU with 1536 shading units, 48 texture mapping units, and 24 ROPs, using system-shared memory. Its 3DMark Steel Nomad score of 1482 places it at the 9th percentile, and its nearest rivals are all extremely old NVIDIA parts. The B390 is a bottleneck in almost every scenario.

The resolution scaling in the measured data reveals the shifting balance. At 1080p, the CPU is strong enough to push the GPU to its limits: Low produces 88 FPS, and Medium produces 70 FPS, indicating that the B390 still has some headroom until settings rise. At 1440p, the GPU's limitations dominate: Low drops to 58 FPS, a 34% decrease from the 1080p Low result, and Medium drops to 46 FPS, a 34% decrease from the 1080p Medium result. At 4K, the GPU is completely overwhelmed: Low produces 32 FPS, a 64% decrease from 1080p Low, and Medium produces 25 FPS, a 64% decrease from 1080p Medium. The consistent pattern is that the B390 cannot scale with resolution increases, while the CPU has plenty of headroom to spare. Players with this combo should prioritize resolution reduction over CPU-related tweaks, as the GPU is the clear limiting factor at 1440p and above.

Best Settings per Resolution

At 3840x2160, there is no preset that reaches 60 FPS. The best available result is Low at 32 FPS, which is far below the playable threshold. This resolution is not viable for Fivem with this hardware.

At 2560x1440, the best result is Low at 58 FPS. This narrowly misses the 60 FPS target and is not listed as a playable setting in the verdict data. Medium produces 46 FPS, High produces 37 FPS, and Ultra produces 29 FPS. Players who insist on 1440p will have to tolerate a frame rate that is below the playable threshold even on the lowest settings.

At 1920x1080, the most demanding preset that stays at or above 60 FPS is Medium, which delivers 70 FPS average with a minimum of 59 and maximum of 80. This is the recommended configuration for this system. Low produces 88 FPS and provides a larger safety margin, but Medium offers better visual quality while still averaging well above the threshold. High at 56 FPS and Ultra at 43 FPS are not playable. The minimum frame rate on Medium dipping to 59 FPS means the system will occasionally drop just below 60, but the average remains strong enough for a mostly smooth experience. For players who prioritize frame rate stability over visual fidelity, Low at 88 FPS is the safer choice, but Medium is the best balance of quality and performance.
