Fivem

Intel Core Ultra 7 265K and Intel Arc B370 form a pairing where the processor is a top-tier part, while the graphics solution is an integrated-class unit. The recorded data for Fivem shows this is a combination with extreme performance disparity, resulting in a playable experience only at 1080p with specific settings.

Similar Performance Alternatives

The database places the Intel Core Ultra 7 265K in the 94th percentile among all tested CPUs, indicating it is a high-end processor. Its average benchmark score of 70,879 is closely matched by several rivals. The Intel Xeon 6511P scores 71,051, which is 0.2% higher, while the Intel Xeon Platinum 8270 scores 71,370, a 0.7% lead. On the other side, the Intel Core i7-14700KF scores 70,163, which is 1% lower, and the AMD Ryzen 7 9700F scores 69,996, sitting 1.3% behind. For CPU-bound scenarios, any of these alternatives would deliver nearly identical performance headroom.

The Intel Arc B370 presents a starkly different picture. It sits in the 5th percentile of all tested GPUs, and its only recorded benchmark, 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12, shows a score of 1,184. The nearest rivals in the database are older, lower-end parts: the ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5570 scores 1,186 (0.2% faster), the ATI Radeon HD 5770 scores 1,190 (0.5% faster), and the AMD Radeon HD 7650M scores 1,192 (0.7% faster). The AMD FirePro M2000 scores 1,168, which is 1.4% slower. This data indicates that the Arc B370's graphics throughput is comparable to mobile and desktop parts from over a decade ago, making it the definitive bottleneck in almost any scenario.

CPU and GPU Roles

The data reveals a clear division of labor. The CPU is a 20-core, 20-thread Arrow Lake processor with a 5.50 GHz boost clock and a 30 MB L3 cache. Its Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 35,850 and single-core score of 2,020 are strong indicators of modern performance. The GPU, however, is an integrated graphics processor (IGP) with a 25 W TDP, 1,280 shading units, and a 6.144 TFLOPS FP32 throughput. It relies on system-shared memory, making its memory bandwidth dependent on the system's DDR5 configuration.

The FPS scaling across resolutions shows that the GPU is the limiting factor. At 1080p Low, the combo achieves 80 FPS. Dropping the resolution to 1440p Low yields 53 FPS, a 34% decrease, and at 4K Low it falls to 29 FPS, a further 45% decline. This steep drop with increasing pixel count is characteristic of GPU-bound performance. The CPU has ample headroom; its benchmark scores suggest it could handle far more graphical data, but the Arc B370 cannot feed the display pipeline fast enough. The CPU is essentially idle-waiting for the GPU at higher resolutions. At lower resolutions, the CPU's role becomes relatively more important, but even at 1080p, the GPU is still the primary constraint given the relatively low average FPS figures.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 3840x2160, the combination fails to reach playable frame rates. The Low preset averages 29 FPS. The Medium preset averages 23 FPS, with a minimum of 20 FPS and a maximum of 26 FPS. The High preset drops to 18 FPS, and the Ultra preset bottoms out at 14 FPS. None of these figures approach the 60 FPS playable threshold.

At 2560x1440, the situation improves but remains below the playable threshold. The Low preset averages 53 FPS. The Medium preset averages 41 FPS, with variance recorded between 35 FPS and 48 FPS. The High preset averages 33 FPS, and the Ultra preset averages 26 FPS. While 53 FPS at Low is close, it still falls short of the 60 FPS requirement.

At 1920x1080, the data shows the only playable configurations. The Low preset delivers an average of 80 FPS. The Medium preset averages 63 FPS, with a minimum of 54 FPS and a maximum of 72 FPS. The High preset drops to an average of 50 FPS, and the Ultra preset averages 39 FPS. The Medium preset is the only one that clears the 60 FPS average threshold, though its recorded minimum of 54 FPS indicates occasional dips below the target.

How This Combo Ranks

The database ranks this specific CPU and GPU combination at 3,420 out of 3,707 tested combos for Fivem. This places it in the bottom 8% of all systems tested, which is expected given the GPU's low percentile ranking. The rank is dragged down almost entirely by the Arc B370. The CPU's 94th percentile rank is effectively neutralized by the GPU's 5th percentile rank. This pairing represents a significant misallocation of resources; the processor is capable of running far more demanding graphics hardware, but the integrated GPU severely limits the system's overall gaming performance. The data suggests that any system with a discrete GPU from the past decade would likely rank higher.

FAQ

Q: Can this PC run Fivem at 1440p?

A: No. The recorded data shows the best average at 2560x1440 is 53 FPS on the Low preset, which is below the 60 FPS playable threshold. The Medium, High, and Ultra presets average 41, 33, and 26 FPS, respectively.

Q: What is the highest preset that stays at or above 60 FPS at 1080p?

A: The Medium preset is the most demanding setting that achieves a playable average frame rate. It records an average of 63 FPS at 1920x1080.

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

A: The database shows the Arc B370's score of 1,184 is within 0.7% of the ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5570 (1,186) and ATI Radeon HD 5770 (1,190). It is 1.4% faster than the AMD FirePro M2000 (1,168).

Q: What is the frame rate difference between Low and Ultra settings at 1080p?

A: At 1920x1080, the Low preset averages 80 FPS, while the Ultra preset averages 39 FPS. This is a 41 FPS difference, representing a 51% reduction in average performance.

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

A: The GPU is the limiting factor. The Arc B370 is an integrated graphics processor with a 5th percentile ranking, while the CPU is a 20-core processor in the 94th percentile. The FPS drops significantly as resolution increases, which is a hallmark of GPU-bound performance.

Q: What is the average FPS at 4K on the Low preset?

A: The average FPS at 3840x2160 on the Low preset is 29 FPS. This is less than half of the 60 FPS playable threshold.

Best Settings per Resolution

At 3840x2160, no preset achieves a playable frame rate. The recorded data shows no settings that meet the 60 FPS threshold.

At 2560x1440, no preset achieves a playable frame rate. The highest average is 53 FPS on Low, which is below the threshold.

At 1920x1080, the Medium preset is the most demanding setting that maintains an average of 63 FPS. This is the only resolution and preset combination that both exceeds the 60 FPS threshold and offers a balanced visual profile, as the Low preset averages 80 FPS.

The Verdict

The data indicates that this PC can run Fivem, but with significant restrictions. The verdict by resolution is clear: at 3840x2160 and 2560x1440, there are no playable settings, meaning every preset fails to reach 60 FPS. At 1920x1080, the system is playable on both the Low and Medium presets. The best playable experience is on the Medium preset, which averages 63 FPS. This is a playable configuration, but the system cannot handle High or Ultra settings at any resolution without dropping below the threshold. The system's performance is severely constrained by the Intel Arc B370, which behaves like an entry-level integrated GPU from a previous era. Users seeking higher frame rates or higher resolutions would need to pair the Core Ultra 7 265K with a discrete graphics card, as the current integrated GPU is the clear bottleneck.
