Fivem

The Intel Core i7-14700F paired with the Intel Arc B370 presents a stark contrast in capability. The CPU is a high-end desktop processor, while the GPU is an integrated graphics solution with a low performance percentile. The recorded data for Fivem shows exactly how this imbalance plays out across resolutions and settings, and the results are heavily constrained by the graphics side.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 3840x2160, the combination struggles to produce playable frame rates under any setting. The highest average FPS recorded at 4K is 29 FPS on Low settings, which is still less than half of the 60 FPS playable threshold. Medium settings at 4K produce an average of 23 FPS, with a minimum of 20 FPS and a maximum of 26 FPS. High settings drop the average to 18 FPS, and Ultra settings bottom out at an average of 14 FPS. None of these 4K results approach a smooth experience, and the frame time consistency is poor even in the best case.

Moving down to 2560x1440, the situation improves but remains below the playable target. Low settings at 1440p deliver the best average at 53 FPS, which is close to 60 but still short. Medium settings at 1440p average 41 FPS, with a minimum of 35 FPS and a maximum of 48 FPS. High settings average 33 FPS, and Ultra settings average 26 FPS. The gap between Low and Ultra at this resolution is 27 FPS, showing a significant performance cost for higher visual fidelity.

At 1920x1080, the hardware finally reaches the playable threshold on two presets. Low settings at 1080p produce an average of 80 FPS, which is the highest recorded average for this combo in any configuration. Medium settings at 1080p average 63 FPS, with a minimum of 54 FPS and a maximum of 72 FPS. This is the only preset above Low that clears 60 FPS on average. High settings at 1080p fall to an average of 50 FPS, and Ultra settings drop further to 39 FPS. The data shows a clear pattern: the Arc B370 can handle Fivem at 1080p only when the visual load is reduced to Low or Medium.

CPU and GPU Roles

The benchmark results indicate that the GPU is the dominant limiting factor in this pairing. The Intel Core i7-14700F is a 20-core, 28-thread processor based on Raptor Lake, and its benchmark scores are strong: it achieves a Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 35122 and a single-core score of 4958. The CPU's percentile versus all CPUs is 91, meaning it outperforms the vast majority of processors. In contrast, the Arc B370 has a percentile versus all GPUs of only 5, and its only recorded benchmark is a 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 1184. The GPU's integrated nature and low performance ceiling are evident in the FPS scaling.

The scaling between resolutions confirms this. When moving from 1080p Low (80 FPS) to 1440p Low (53 FPS), the frame rate drops by 27 FPS, a reduction of roughly 34 percent. When moving from 1440p Low to 4K Low (29 FPS), the drop is another 24 FPS. This steep decline with resolution is typical of a GPU-bound scenario, where the rendering load increases faster than the integrated graphics can handle. The CPU's role is largely to feed frames, and with its high single-thread performance (PassMark single-thread score of 4257), it is not the bottleneck at any resolution.

The settings scaling further illustrates the GPU's role. At 1080p, moving from Low to Medium costs 17 FPS (from 80 to 63), and from Medium to High costs another 13 FPS (from 63 to 50). The CPU could easily handle these settings changes, but the GPU's shading units (1280) and texture units (40) are saturated quickly. The fact that the minimum FPS at 1080p Medium is 54, which is below the 60 FPS average, suggests occasional frame dips that are characteristic of a GPU struggling to maintain consistent output. The CPU's high Cinebench R20 multi-core score of 14751 is irrelevant here because the GPU cannot translate that processing power into frame rate.

How This Combo Ranks

The recorded data places this specific CPU-GPU combination at rank 3420 out of 3707 tested combos in Fivem. This rank, which is in the bottom 8 percent of all tested configurations, reflects the GPU's severe limitation. The CPU's high percentile (91) does not compensate for the GPU's low percentile (5) in a game that is graphically demanding at higher settings.

The rank is consistent with the FPS measurements. A combo that cannot average 60 FPS at 1440p on any setting, and can only do so at 1080p on Low and Medium, will naturally sit near the bottom of a database that includes many discrete graphics cards. The CPU is not the reason for this low rank; the Arc B370's integrated design with system-shared memory and a 25 W TDP is the primary constraint. The combo rank of 3420 out of 3707 suggests that most other tested pairings, even those with weaker CPUs, achieve better FPS in Fivem because they include more capable graphics hardware.

Similar Performance Alternatives

Looking at the nearest rivals for the GPU provides context for what kind of performance the Arc B370 is delivering. The Arc B370's average benchmark score is 1184. The ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5570 scores 1186, which is 0.2 percent higher. The ATI Radeon HD 5770 scores 1190, 0.5 percent higher. The AMD Radeon HD 7650M scores 1192, 0.7 percent higher. The AMD FirePro M2000 scores 1168, which is 1.4 percent lower. These deltas are all within 1.4 percent, meaning any of these older or mobile-class GPUs would produce nearly identical FPS in Fivem. None of them are modern gaming GPUs, and their presence in the nearest rivals list underscores the Arc B370's position as a low-end integrated solution.

For the CPU, the nearest rivals are all server or high-end desktop parts. The Intel Xeon 6505P scores 53701, which is 0.2 percent lower than the i7-14700F's average benchmark score of 53620. The Intel Xeon Phi 7290 scores 53469, 0.3 percent higher. The AMD Ryzen 9 7900X scores 53288, 0.6 percent higher. The AMD EPYC 7313P scores 53206, 0.8 percent higher. These rivals indicate that the i7-14700F's processing power is comparable to that of multi-core server chips, which is more than sufficient for Fivem. However, swapping the CPU for any of these rivals would not change the FPS, because the GPU remains the bottleneck. The similar performance alternatives for this combo are therefore defined entirely by the GPU, not the CPU.

Best Settings per Resolution

At 3840x2160, the recorded data shows no playable settings. The verdict for 4K lists no playable settings, and the best settings is null. The highest average FPS at 4K is 29 on Low, which is far below the 60 FPS playable threshold. Therefore, there is no recommended preset for 4K.

At 2560x1440, the verdict also lists no playable settings. The best average FPS at 1440p is 53 on Low, which is short of 60 FPS. No preset at this resolution reaches the playable threshold, so the best settings is null. Users would have to accept a frame rate below 60 FPS, or lower the resolution.

At 1920x1080, the verdict lists Low and Medium as playable settings. The best settings is Medium, with an average FPS of 63. Low settings average 80 FPS, but Medium is the highest preset that stays at or above 60 FPS on average. High settings at 1080p average 50 FPS, which is below the threshold. Therefore, the most demanding preset that clears 60 FPS at 1080p is Medium, with an average of 63 FPS and a minimum of 54 FPS.

The Verdict

The question of whether this PC can run Fivem has a clear answer based on the verdict by resolution. At 3840x2160, the answer is no. No settings preset clears 60 FPS, and the best average is 29 FPS on Low. At 2560x1440, the answer is also no. The best average is 53 FPS on Low, which misses the 60 FPS target. At 1920x1080, the answer is yes, but only with restrictions. The combination can run the game at Low (80 FPS average) and Medium (63 FPS average) settings, both of which clear the 60 FPS playable threshold. High and Ultra settings at 1080p do not clear the threshold, with averages of 50 FPS and 39 FPS respectively.

The data suggests that the Intel Core i7-14700F is not the limiting factor; the Intel Arc B370 is. The CPU's high benchmark scores and 91st percentile ranking indicate it is ready for far more demanding workloads. The GPU's 5th percentile ranking and integrated design hold the entire system back. For a user with this CPU, the FPS in Fivem would improve dramatically with a discrete graphics card, but with the Arc B370, the only viable path to 60 FPS is to play at 1080p with Medium or lower settings.
