Fivem

Fivem is a demanding multiplayer modification, and the benchmark results for the AMD Ryzen 5 4600G paired with the Intel Arc B370 show a system that is strictly limited by its graphics processor. The measured FPS data reveals a predictable pattern: performance scales directly with resolution and settings, but the ceiling is low across the board. This combination is positioned in the lower percentile of tested hardware, making it suitable for playable frame rates only at the most modest settings.

Resolution Scaling

The FPS drop from 1080p to 4K is steep and consistent, clearly indicating that the Intel Arc B370 is the primary bottleneck. At Low settings, the average frame rate falls from 80 FPS at 1920x1080 to 53 FPS at 2560x1440, a significant 34% reduction. Pushing further to 3840x2160 at Low settings yields an average of just 29 FPS, which is a 64% drop from the 1080p result. This scaling behavior is a textbook sign of a GPU that is overwhelmed by pixel count.

The same trend is evident at Medium settings, where the average FPS moves from 63 at 1080p to 41 at 1440p, and then down to 23 at 4K. The frame time consistency also degrades at higher resolutions; the 4K Medium run shows a minimum of 20 FPS and a maximum of 26 FPS, indicating a narrow and stutter-prone range. At High settings, the 1080p average of 50 FPS falls to 33 FPS at 1440p and 18 FPS at 4K. The Ultra preset is the most punishing, with 1080p averaging 39 FPS, 1440p averaging 26 FPS, and 4K dropping to a nearly unplayable 14 FPS.

These numbers suggest that the CPU, a 6-core/12-thread AMD Ryzen 5 4600G, is not the limiting factor in this title. If the processor were the constraint, the frame rate would remain relatively flat regardless of resolution. Instead, the FPS scales almost linearly with the number of pixels rendered, which points exclusively to the integrated GPU's fill rate and shading power being exhausted. The 1080p Low result of 80 FPS shows the system has enough CPU headroom to push a solid frame rate, but the GPU cannot maintain that performance as resolution increases. For a playable experience, 1080p is the only viable resolution, and even then, users must carefully select settings.

How This Combo Ranks

In the database of tested combinations for Fivem, this pairing of the AMD Ryzen 5 4600G and Intel Arc B370 ranks at position 2762 out of 3005 combos. This places it in the bottom 8% of all tested configurations, which is a very low standing. The data confirms that this is not a high-performance gaming setup for Fivem, but rather a baseline configuration that will struggle with modern demands.

The GPU's performance percentile is a stark indicator of its capability. The Intel Arc B370 sits in the 5th percentile of all GPUs, meaning 95% of tested graphics processors are faster. Its average benchmark score of 1184 in 3DMark Steel Nomad is nearly identical to the ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5570 (1186) and ATI Radeon HD 5770 (1190), with delta percentages of -0.2% and -0.5% respectively. This places its raw performance in the field of very old discrete GPUs, which explains its struggles in a modern, unoptimized multiplayer environment like Fivem.

The CPU, on the other hand, is a much stronger component. The Ryzen 5 4600G ranks in the 71st percentile of all CPUs, with an average benchmark score of 17507. It is a close competitor to the AMD Ryzen 3 PRO 5355GE (17482), Intel Core 7 150U (17395), and AMD Ryzen 3 8300GE (17614), with delta percentages of 0.1%, 0.6%, and -0.6% respectively. This indicates that the processor is not the weak link; it has enough computational power to feed a much more capable GPU. The system's low rank is almost entirely attributable to the Arc B370's limited graphics processing capabilities, which acts as a severe bottleneck to the entire system.

Settings Recommendations

Given the measured FPS data, the only way to achieve a consistently playable frame rate in Fivem with this hardware is to use the Low preset at 1920x1080. This is the only tested configuration that breaks the 60 FPS barrier, with an average of 80 FPS. This provides a smooth enough experience for the game's core mechanics, though users should expect visual fidelity to be significantly reduced.

The Medium preset at 1080p is the next step up, offering an average of 63 FPS with a minimum of 54 FPS. This is a viable option for those who want a better visual experience and can tolerate occasional dips below 60 FPS. The frame time data (min 54, max 72) shows some variance, but it remains within a playable range for most users. This preset is the recommended middle ground, balancing visual quality with acceptable performance.

At 1440p, the Low preset yields an average of 53 FPS, which is technically playable but not ideal for fast-paced multiplayer scenarios. The Medium preset at 1440p drops to 41 FPS, which begins to feel sluggish. The High preset at 1080p, with an average of 50 FPS, is also a possibility, but it offers no performance advantage over the 1440p Low setting and sacrifices resolution for detail. The Ultra preset is not recommended at any resolution, as it produces an average of 39 FPS at 1080p and falls below 30 FPS at higher resolutions. For the best balance of smoothness and visual quality, the data strongly supports using the Medium preset at 1920x1080, with Low at 1080p as the fallback for maximum frame rate.

FAQ

GPU Role

The Intel Arc B370 is the decisive factor in this system's Fivem performance, and its specifications explain why it struggles. It is an integrated graphics processor (IGP) based on the Xe3-LPG architecture, built on Intel's 3 nm process. Its core configuration is limited, with 1280 shading units, 40 texture mapping units, and 20 raster output units. This hardware is designed for low-power, portable devices, not for sustained high-resolution gaming.

The GPU's clock speeds are also indicative of its mobile focus. It has a base clock of 300 MHz and a boost clock of 2400 MHz. While the boost clock is respectable, the low base clock and the system-shared memory architecture prevent it from maintaining high throughput. The memory is listed as "System Shared," meaning it uses the system's main DDR4 RAM rather than dedicated VRAM. This creates a significant performance penalty in a memory-intensive game like Fivem, as the GPU must compete with the CPU for memory bandwidth.

The benchmark data confirms its weak standing. Its 3DMark Steel Nomad score of 1184 places it in the 5th percentile of all GPUs. Its nearest rivals, the ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5570 and ATI Radeon HD 5770, are over a decade old, underscoring the B370's lack of raw compute power. The pixel rate of 48.00 GPixel/s and texture rate of 96.00 GTexel/s are far too low to handle the demands of 1440p or 4K rendering in a modern game. The result is that the GPU is saturated even at 1080p Medium, leading to the frame rates observed. This is a component that is best suited for basic display output and light workloads, not for gaming at high settings.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 5 4600G plays a supporting role in this combo, and its capabilities are more than sufficient for the frame rates the GPU can deliver. This processor features 6 cores and 12 threads based on the Zen 2 architecture, with a base clock of 3.70 GHz and a boost clock of 4.20 GHz. This configuration is a solid foundation for modern gaming, providing enough multi-threading headroom for background tasks and game logic.

Its benchmark scores reflect a capable mid-range CPU. In Cinebench R23, it scores 13593 in multi-core and 1919 in single-core. Its average benchmark score of 17507 places it in the 71st percentile of all CPUs, which is a strong showing. The CPU's performance is closely matched by its nearest rivals, with a 0.1% delta compared to the AMD Ryzen 3 PRO 5355GE and a -0.6% delta compared to the AMD Ryzen 3 8300GE. This indicates that the 4600G is not a performance outlier; it is a standard, competent processor for its class.

The 8 MB of shared L3 cache is adequate for gaming, and the dual-channel DDR4 memory support provides a standard bandwidth of 51.2 GB/s. While this CPU is not the fastest on the market, it is not the cause of the low frame rates in Fivem. The evidence for this is the FPS scaling pattern; the system achieves 80 FPS at 1080p Low, which shows the CPU can handle high frame rates. The fact that this number drops to 29 FPS at 4K Low is entirely attributable to the GPU's inability to render pixels fast enough. In this system, the Ryzen 5 4600G is essentially waiting for the Intel Arc B370 to catch up, making it a wasted potential for higher performance.
