Fivem

FAQ

Q: Can the Intel Core i9-14900K and Intel Arc B370 combination run Fivem at 60 FPS?

A: Yes, but only at 1920x1080 resolution. The recorded data shows playable settings at this resolution are Low and Medium, with Medium delivering an average of 63 FPS. Neither 2560x1440 nor 3840x2160 achieves 60 FPS at any preset.

Q: What is the best preset for Fivem at 1920x1080 with this hardware?

A: The most demanding preset that stays at or above 60 FPS is Medium, which produces an average of 63 FPS, with a minimum of 54 FPS and a maximum of 72 FPS. Low runs at 80 FPS average, but Medium offers higher visual quality while still clearing the 60 FPS threshold.

Q: How does the Intel Core i9-14900K compare to its nearest rivals in the database?

A: The i9-14900K has an average benchmark score of 79097. It sits 0.3% behind the Intel Core i9-14900KF (79371), 0.6% behind the Intel Core Ultra 9 290HX Plus (79574), and 1.2% behind the AMD EPYC 7413 (80041). It is 1.7% ahead of the AMD Ryzen AI Max+ 395 (77740).

Q: Where does the Intel Arc B370 rank among all GPUs in the database?

A: The Arc B370 sits in the 5th percentile of all GPUs, with an average benchmark score of 1184. Its nearest rivals are the ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5570 (1186, 0.2% ahead), ATI Radeon HD 5770 (1190, 0.5% ahead), and AMD Radeon HD 7650M (1192, 0.7% ahead). The AMD FirePro M2000 trails by 1.4% with a score of 1168.

Q: What is the Fivem performance at 2560x1440 with this combo?

A: The data shows no playable settings at this resolution. The best result is Low at 53 FPS average, which falls below the 60 FPS threshold. High delivers 33 FPS, Medium 41 FPS (35 min, 48 max), and Ultra 26 FPS.

Q: Does the Intel Core i9-14900K's strong CPU benchmark translate to high FPS in Fivem?

A: No. Despite the CPU scoring in the 95th percentile of all processors, the GPU becomes the limiting factor. The Arc B370's 5th percentile GPU ranking and low measured FPS indicate that the graphics card constrains performance across all resolutions and presets.

CPU and GPU Roles

The data reveals a clear division of labor in this Fivem configuration. The Intel Core i9-14900K is a top-tier processor, scoring in the 95th percentile of all CPUs with an average benchmark score of 79097. However, the Intel Arc B370 is an integrated-class GPU that sits in the 5th percentile of all GPUs, with an average score of just 1184. This massive gap in relative performance dictates that the GPU is the primary bottleneck in every scenario.

At 3840x2160, the GPU is overwhelmingly dominant in determining performance. The average FPS drops from 29 at Low to 14 at Ultra, a reduction of 15 FPS or roughly 52%. The CPU's 24 cores and 32 threads, capable of a 6.00 GHz boost clock, are effectively idle while the GPU struggles to fill frames. The scaling from Low to Ultra at this resolution shows a nearly linear degradation, confirming that the Arc B370 cannot keep pace with the rendering demands.

At 2560x1440, the same pattern persists but with slightly less severity. Low settings produce 53 FPS, while Ultra falls to 26 FPS. The gap between Low and High is 20 FPS (53 to 33), and the GPU still dictates the ceiling. The CPU's potential remains untapped, as even the least demanding preset cannot reach 60 FPS.

At 1920x1080, the CPU begins to matter more, but the GPU still dominates. Low settings hit 80 FPS, which is the only time the combo exceeds 60 FPS by a comfortable margin. Medium drops to 63 FPS, High to 50 FPS, and Ultra to 39 FPS. The scaling from Low to Medium (17 FPS drop) and Medium to High (13 FPS drop) shows that the GPU is still the limiting factor, but the CPU's single-core strength (2262.5 in Cinebench R23 single-core) helps maintain playable frame rates at lower graphical loads.

The resolution scaling further illustrates this imbalance. Dropping from 3840x2160 to 2560x1440 at Medium settings improves performance by 18 FPS (23 to 41). Dropping from 2560x1440 to 1920x1080 at Medium adds another 22 FPS (41 to 63). This 40 FPS total improvement from 4K to 1080p at Medium settings is entirely attributable to reducing the GPU's workload, not the CPU's.

Measured FPS Breakdown

3840x2160 (4K)

At Ultra settings, the combo delivers an average of 14 FPS. This is the lowest recorded result across all resolutions and presets. Medium settings improve to 23 FPS average, with a minimum of 20 FPS and a maximum of 26 FPS. High settings reach 18 FPS average, while Low settings achieve 29 FPS average. None of these results approach the 60 FPS playable threshold, and even the best case (Low at 29 FPS) is less than half of what is needed for smooth gameplay.

2560x1440 (1440p)

Ultra settings produce 26 FPS average, which is unplayable. High settings reach 33 FPS average. Medium settings deliver 41 FPS average, with a minimum of 35 FPS and a maximum of 48 FPS. Low settings provide the best result at 53 FPS average. The 53 FPS at Low is the closest this configuration gets to 60 FPS at 1440p, but it still falls short by 7 FPS.

1920x1080 (1080p)

Ultra settings yield 39 FPS average, which is below the playable threshold. High settings improve to 50 FPS average. Medium settings hit 63 FPS average, with a minimum of 54 FPS and a maximum of 72 FPS, making it the most demanding preset that clears 60 FPS. Low settings deliver 80 FPS average, the highest recorded performance for this combo. The jump from Ultra to Medium is 24 FPS, while the jump from High to Low is 30 FPS.

The Verdict

This PC can run Fivem, but only under specific conditions. The verdict by resolution is unambiguous: at 3840x2160 and 2560x1440, there are no playable settings. The playable threshold is 60 FPS, and neither resolution achieves it at any preset.

At 1920x1080, the situation changes. The data shows two playable settings: Low and Medium. Low delivers 80 FPS average, which is well above the threshold and provides a comfortable margin for multiplayer fluctuations. Medium is the best playable preset, hitting 63 FPS average with a minimum of 54 FPS and a maximum of 72 FPS. The minimum frame rate dips below 60, but the average clears the threshold.

The Intel Core i9-14900K is more than capable for this game, but the Intel Arc B370 is the decisive constraint. This GPU's 5th percentile ranking and 1184 average benchmark score explain why 4K and 1440p are out of reach. For a smooth Fivem experience, 1080p with Medium settings is the practical ceiling.

How This Combo Ranks

In the database of tested combinations for Fivem, this configuration ranks 3420 out of 3707 combos. This places it in the bottom 8% of all tested systems, which is consistent with the GPU's low percentile ranking (5th) rather than the CPU's high percentile (95th).

The rank reflects the overall gaming experience, not just CPU capability. Many combos with weaker processors but stronger GPUs will rank higher because Fivem's performance is heavily GPU-bound at the resolutions where 60 FPS is achievable. The i9-14900K's excellent synthetic scores (39399.5 in Cinebench R23 multi-core, 21697 in Geekbench multi-core) cannot compensate for the Arc B370's limitations in real-world gaming.

Compared to other tested combos, this system is positioned for 1080p gaming at medium-to-low presets. The 3420th rank out of 3707 indicates that a majority of tested systems outperform it in Fivem, primarily due to more capable graphics solutions.

Best Settings per Resolution

3840x2160 (4K): No preset achieves 60 FPS. The best available option is Low at 29 FPS average, but this is well below the playable threshold. Players seeking 4K would need different hardware.

2560x1440 (1440p): No preset achieves 60 FPS. The best available option is Low at 53 FPS average, which is 7 FPS short of the threshold. Medium at 41 FPS is the highest quality preset that stays above 35 FPS minimum, but it cannot reach playable status.

1920x1080 (1080p): The best playable setting is Medium, which delivers 63 FPS average, 54 FPS minimum, and 72 FPS maximum. This is the most demanding preset that clears 60 FPS. Low settings provide 80 FPS average for players who prioritize frame rate stability, but Medium offers the best balance of visual quality and performance. High (50 FPS) and Ultra (39 FPS) are not recommended, as they fall below the 60 FPS threshold.
