Fivem

The AMD Ryzen 5 3600 and Intel Arc B390 combination delivers a fundamentally CPU-bound experience in Fivem, but the GPU’s limited throughput becomes the dominant constraint as resolution and settings rise. Benchmark results show the combo ranks 2656th out of 3005 tested combinations, placing it in the bottom 12% of all systems. This is a pairing where the Ryzen 5 3600’s six Zen 2 cores provide adequate thread management for the multiplayer environment, yet the Intel Arc B390’s integrated-class performance caps the experience well below playable thresholds at higher visual loads.

CPU Role, cores, clocks, and how they relate to this game's results

The AMD Ryzen 5 3600 brings six cores and twelve threads, running at a 3.60 GHz base clock and boosting to 4.20 GHz. This 3000-series processor uses the Zen 2 architecture on TSMC’s 7 nm process, with 32 MB of shared L3 cache. In Fivem, which is a multiplayer modification framework that builds on a 2017-era game engine, the CPU handles the heavy simulation of other players, vehicles, and world state. The 3DMark 8-thread score of 3844 and max-thread score of 4603 indicate that the processor can marshal its twelve threads effectively, but the single-thread score of 696 is more telling for this workload. Fivem’s engine still relies heavily on single-core performance for physics and script processing, and the Ryzen 5 3600’s single-thread capability is only modest by modern standards.

The CPU’s Cinebench R23 multicore score of 15045 shows solid all-core throughput, while the single-core score of 2124 lags behind newer designs. In the measured FPS data, the pattern across resolutions reveals that the CPU is not the primary bottleneck at low settings. At 1080p Low, the combo achieves 88 FPS, which is the highest average across all tested configurations. This suggests that when the GPU is not heavily taxed, the Ryzen 5 3600 can feed frames reasonably well. However, the gap between Low and Ultra settings at the same resolution shows a dramatic drop, from 88 FPS down to 43 FPS, indicating that the GPU becomes the limiting factor as graphical load increases. The CPU’s role is therefore to maintain a baseline of performance, but it cannot compensate for the Arc B390’s lack of raw rendering power.

The Ryzen 5 3600’s 65 W TDP and unlocked multiplier suggest it is a flexible desktop part, but the benchmark data shows it sits in the 71st percentile of all CPUs, with an average benchmark score of 17035. Its nearest rivals include the Intel Core i7-1260P, which scores nearly identically at 17007 (0.2% delta), and the Intel Core i5-11400, which is 0.2% faster. This places the Ryzen 5 3600 in a competitive middle ground for CPU performance, but the pairing with the Arc B390 means the combined system is dragged down by the GPU’s 9th percentile ranking among all GPUs. The CPU can handle the game’s logic, but it is working alongside a graphics solution that is fundamentally underpowered for Fivem’s demands at higher quality presets.

Settings Recommendations, which preset gives the best experience per the measured rows

The data clearly indicates that Low settings provide the only consistently playable experience across all resolutions. At 1080p Low, the combo averages 88 FPS, which is smooth for a multiplayer environment. Moving to Medium at 1080p drops the average to 70 FPS, with a minimum of 59 FPS and a maximum of 80 FPS. This is still within a playable range, but the frame buffer is noticeably tighter. High settings at 1080p yield 56 FPS, which is marginal for fast-paced multiplayer action, and Ultra drops to 43 FPS, which is borderline unplayable for competitive play.

At 1440p, the situation worsens significantly. Low settings average 58 FPS, which is acceptable but not ideal. Medium settings fall to 46 FPS, with a minimum of 39 FPS, which will feel stuttery during busy scenes. High settings average 37 FPS, and Ultra drops to 29 FPS. The 4K results are uniformly poor: Low averages 32 FPS, Medium 25 FPS, High 20 FPS, and Ultra 16 FPS. None of these are viable for active gameplay.

Given this data, the recommended preset is Low across all resolutions if playability is the priority. For 1080p users, Medium is a viable alternative that offers improved visual fidelity while staying above 60 FPS on average, but the 59 FPS minimum means there will be dips below the desired threshold. At 1440p, Low is the only sensible choice, as even the modest step to Medium sacrifices 12 FPS on average. The measured rows show a clear trend: each settings tier costs roughly 15-20% of the average frame rate, and the Arc B390 does not have enough headroom to absorb those losses at higher resolutions. The best experience per the measured data is 1080p Low, which maximizes smoothness, or 1080p Medium for those who prioritize visuals over absolute frame consistency.

Resolution Scaling, how FPS drops from 1080p to 4K and what it says about the limiting component

The resolution scaling reveals a GPU-heavy bottleneck that becomes more pronounced as pixel count increases. At Low settings, the average frame rate drops from 88 FPS at 1080p to 58 FPS at 1440p, a 34% reduction, and then to 32 FPS at 4K, which is a 64% drop from the 1440p result. This steep decline indicates that the Intel Arc B390’s rendering throughput is the limiting factor. The CPU can maintain its end of the bargain at lower resolutions, but the GPU cannot keep up with the increasing pixel workload.

At Medium settings, the pattern is similar: 70 FPS at 1080p, 46 FPS at 1440p (a 34% drop), and 25 FPS at 4K (a 46% drop from 1440p). The 1080p to 1440p drop is nearly identical to the Low settings case, suggesting that the GPU is already saturated at 1080p Medium. The 4K result at Medium (25 FPS) is barely half of the 1440p Medium result, confirming that the Arc B390 struggles with the 4K pixel count. At High settings, the drop from 1080p (56 FPS) to 1440p (37 FPS) is a 34% reduction, and then to 4K (20 FPS) is another 46% drop. Ultra settings follow the same trajectory: 43 FPS at 1080p, 29 FPS at 1440p (33% drop), and 16 FPS at 4K (45% drop).

The consistent 33-34% reduction from 1080p to 1440p across all settings suggests a fixed GPU limitation rather than a CPU constraint. If the CPU were the bottleneck, the frame rate would remain relatively flat as resolution increases, but the data shows a proportional decline that tracks with the pixel count. The 4K results are particularly telling: even at Low settings, the combo only manages 32 FPS, which is far below the 60 FPS target. This indicates that the Intel Arc B390, with its 1536 shading units and 7.680 TFLOPS of FP32 performance, simply does not have the fill rate or memory bandwidth to handle 4K rendering in Fivem. The GPU’s system-shared memory architecture further compounds the issue, as bandwidth is system-dependent and cannot compete with dedicated VRAM solutions. The resolution scaling data points unequivocally to the GPU as the limiting component, with the Ryzen 5 3600 providing ample CPU headroom that goes unused at higher resolutions.

How This Combo Ranks, use comboRankInGame vs other tested combos

The AMD Ryzen 5 3600 + Intel Arc B390 combination ranks 2656th out of 3005 tested combos in Fivem, placing it in the bottom 11.6% of all systems. This is a poor result that reflects the GPU’s severe underperformance relative to the CPU. The Ryzen 5 3600 itself is a competent processor, ranking in the 71st percentile of all CPUs with an average benchmark score of 17035, and its nearest rivals are all within 0.2% of its score. The Intel Core i7-1260P matches it at 0.2% faster, the Core i5-11400 is 0.2% slower, and the AMD EPYC 7573X and EPYC 7742 are both 0.2% off. This places the CPU in a tightly contested mid-range segment.

However, the Arc B390 is an entirely different story. Its average benchmark score is 1482, which puts it in the 9th percentile of all GPUs. Its nearest rivals are all legacy NVIDIA parts: the GeForce GT 520MX is 1.3% slower, the GeForce 800M is 1.5% slower, the GeForce GT 625 OEM is 2.5% slower, and the GeForce GT 710 is 2.7% slower. The fact that a 2026-era integrated GPU is competing with 2011-2014 discrete graphics cards underscores how far behind the Arc B390 is in raw rendering power.

The combo ranking of 2656 out of 3005 is therefore a direct consequence of the GPU dragging down an otherwise average CPU. The data indicates that the Ryzen 5 3600 is not the problem, it is a solid mid-range processor that can hold its own against comparable Intel parts. The bottleneck is entirely on the graphics side, and the Fivem results reflect this lopsided pairing. For context, the combo’s rank suggests that 349 other tested combinations are worse, but the vast majority of systems (2655) outperform this pairing. This ranking should be interpreted as a warning that the Intel Arc B390 is not suitable for Fivem beyond the most basic settings, and the CPU’s potential is wasted in this configuration.

Measured FPS Breakdown, resolution by resolution, settings by settings, exact numbers

At 1080p, the measured data shows a clear progression across settings. Low settings average 88 FPS. Medium settings average 70 FPS, with a minimum of 59 FPS and a maximum of 80 FPS. High settings average 56 FPS. Ultra settings average 43 FPS. The range from Low to Ultra represents a 51% reduction in average frame rate, demonstrating the GPU’s sensitivity to graphical quality.

At 1440p, the averages are 58 FPS for Low, 46 FPS for Medium (with a minimum of 39 FPS and a maximum of 53 FPS), 37 FPS for High, and 29 FPS for Ultra. The drop from 1080p to 1440p is consistent across settings, with Low losing 30 FPS, Medium losing 24 FPS, High losing 19 FPS, and Ultra losing 14 FPS. This shows that the absolute FPS loss decreases as settings rise, but the percentage loss remains around 33-34%.

At 4K, the results are uniformly low. Low settings average 32 FPS. Medium settings average 25 FPS, with a minimum of 22 FPS and a maximum of 29 FPS. High settings average 20 FPS. Ultra settings average 16 FPS. The 4K results indicate that the combo cannot maintain playable frame rates at this resolution under any settings preset. The minimum measured FPS across all configurations is 22 FPS at 4K Medium, and the maximum is 80 FPS at 1080p Medium. The data confirms that 1080p Low is the only configuration that reliably exceeds 60 FPS, and even 1080p Medium dips to 59 FPS on the low end.
