Fivem

The Intel Core i7-14700KF is a high-end desktop processor with 20 cores and 28 threads, while the Intel Arc B370 is an integrated graphics solution based on the Xe3-LPG architecture. In Fivem, the measured performance data shows that this combination is heavily limited by the GPU. The CPU sits in the 94th percentile among all tested processors, but the GPU only reaches the 5th percentile, which explains the low frame rates across all resolutions. The data indicates that playable performance is only achievable at 1920x1080, and even then, only on lower presets.

Best Settings per Resolution

At 3840x2160, no preset reaches the 60 FPS playable threshold. The recorded data shows the highest average at Low settings with 29 FPS, followed by Medium at 23 FPS, High at 18 FPS, and Ultra at 14 FPS. None of these are close to playable, so there is no recommended setting for this resolution. The GPU's integrated nature and low performance ceiling prevent any configuration from approaching a smooth experience at 4K.

At 2560x1440, the situation improves slightly but remains below the playable threshold. Low settings yield an average of 53 FPS, which is the best result at this resolution. Medium settings drop to 41 FPS, High to 33 FPS, and Ultra to 26 FPS. While 53 FPS is closer to 60, it still fails to meet the playable threshold, so the database records no playable settings for this resolution.

At 1920x1080, playable performance becomes possible. The best setting that stays at or above 60 FPS is Medium, which delivers an average of 63 FPS. Low settings are also playable with an average of 80 FPS, but Medium is the most demanding preset that clears the threshold. High settings fall short at 50 FPS, and Ultra drops to 39 FPS. The verdict data confirms that Low and Medium are the only playable settings at this resolution, with Medium being the best option.

FAQ

Q: Can this PC run Fivem at 4K resolution?

A: No. The measured data shows no playable settings at 3840x2160. The highest average FPS at 4K is 29 on Low settings, which is far below the 60 FPS playable threshold.

Q: What is the best preset for 1920x1080?

A: Medium settings provide the best playable experience, with an average of 63 FPS. Low settings run faster at 80 FPS, but Medium is the most demanding preset that still stays at or above 60 FPS.

Q: Is 2560x1440 playable with this combo?

A: No. The best result at 1440p is 53 FPS on Low settings, which misses the 60 FPS threshold. The verdict data lists no playable settings for this resolution.

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

A: The Intel Arc B370 scores 1184 in 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12. Its closest rival, the ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5570, scores 1186, which is 0.2% higher. The ATI Radeon HD 5770 scores 1190 (0.5% higher), and the AMD Radeon HD 7650M scores 1192 (0.7% higher). The AMD FirePro M2000 scores 1168, which is 1.4% lower.

Q: What is the performance gap between Low and Ultra at 1080p?

A: Low settings average 80 FPS, while Ultra averages 39 FPS. This represents a difference of 41 FPS, meaning Low runs roughly twice as fast as Ultra in terms of frame rate.

Q: Does the CPU compensate for the GPU's weakness in this game?

A: The CPU is very strong, scoring 44167 in Cinebench R23 multi-core and ranking in the 94th percentile of all CPUs. However, the measured FPS data shows that the GPU bottleneck dominates, as frame rates remain low even at 1080p High settings (50 FPS) despite the CPU's high performance.

How This Combo Ranks

The combination of the Intel Core i7-14700KF and Intel Arc B370 ranks 3420 out of 3707 tested combos in Fivem. This places it in the bottom 8% of all recorded configurations, which aligns with the GPU's 5th percentile ranking. The CPU's 94th percentile performance does not translate into playable frame rates because the integrated GPU cannot keep up with the demands of the game.

The ranking reflects the severe imbalance between the two components. While the CPU is among the top 6% of all processors, the GPU is among the bottom 5%, and the game's performance is ultimately limited by the slower component. The data shows that this combo is only viable for 1080p gaming on Low or Medium presets, which is consistent with its low overall rank. For context, the combo rank of 3420 out of 3707 means that 287 other tested combinations perform worse, but the vast majority of tested systems deliver better results in Fivem.

Similar Performance Alternatives

Looking at the nearest rivals for the CPU, the AMD Ryzen 7 9700F has an average score of 69996, which is 0.2% lower than the i7-14700KF's 70163. The AMD Ryzen 9 7940HX scores 69875, a 0.4% difference, and the AMD Ryzen 9 7950X scores 69515, a 0.9% difference. The Intel Core Ultra 7 265K scores 70879, which is 1% higher. These CPUs would behave nearly identically in Fivem when paired with the same GPU, since the bottleneck is entirely on the graphics side.

For the GPU, the nearest rivals are all significantly older or lower-end parts. The ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5570 scores 1186, just 0.2% higher than the Arc B370's 1184. The ATI Radeon HD 5770 scores 1190, a 0.5% advantage, and the AMD Radeon HD 7650M scores 1192, a 0.7% advantage. The AMD FirePro M2000 scores 1168, which is 1.4% lower. Any of these GPUs paired with a similarly strong CPU would produce nearly identical frame rates in Fivem, as the performance delta between them is negligible.

If a user were to swap the i7-14700KF for any of the rival CPUs listed, the measured FPS would remain essentially unchanged because the GPU is the limiting factor. Conversely, replacing the Arc B370 with any of its rival GPUs would also yield similar results, as the differences in their benchmark scores are all under 2%.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 3840x2160, the recorded data shows the following averages: Low settings produce 29 FPS, Medium produces 23 FPS with a minimum of 20 and a maximum of 26, High produces 18 FPS, and Ultra produces 14 FPS. No min or max values are recorded for Low, High, or Ultra at this resolution.

At 2560x1440, Low settings average 53 FPS, Medium averages 41 FPS with a minimum of 35 and a maximum of 48, High averages 33 FPS, and Ultra averages 26 FPS. Again, min and max values are only available for Medium.

At 1920x1080, the results are more detailed. Low settings average 80 FPS. Medium settings average 63 FPS, with a minimum of 54 and a maximum of 72. High settings average 50 FPS. Ultra settings average 39 FPS. The min and max data for Medium at 1080p shows that even the minimum frame rate of 54 FPS is close to the playable threshold, but it does dip below 60 during demanding moments.

The progression across resolutions shows a consistent pattern: dropping from 1080p to 1440p reduces frame rates by roughly 30-40%, and dropping from 1440p to 4K reduces them by another 40-50%. For example, Medium settings go from 63 FPS at 1080p to 41 FPS at 1440p to 23 FPS at 4K. This steep decline highlights the GPU's limited rendering capability.

The Verdict

This PC can run Fivem, but only under specific conditions. The verdict data shows that at 1920x1080, both Low and Medium settings clear the 60 FPS playable threshold. Medium is the best playable setting, delivering an average of 63 FPS. At 2560x1440, no settings are playable; the best result is 53 FPS on Low, which misses the threshold by 7 FPS. At 3840x2160, the situation is worse, with the highest average being 29 FPS on Low.

The Intel Core i7-14700KF provides more than enough CPU horsepower for Fivem, but the Intel Arc B370 integrated GPU is the limiting factor. The data indicates that users should stick to 1080p and avoid High or Ultra presets. For a stable experience, Medium settings at 1080p are the recommended choice, as they provide 63 FPS on average with a minimum of 54 FPS. Low settings offer a safer margin with 80 FPS average, but Medium is the most demanding preset that still meets the playable standard. At higher resolutions, the system will not deliver acceptable performance, and users should not expect playable frame rates at 1440p or 4K with this configuration.
