Fivem

The AMD Ryzen 5 4600G paired with the Intel Arc B390 is a combination that produces a very specific performance profile in Fivem. The data indicates this is a pairing where the graphics solution is the primary limiting factor, especially as resolution increases, while the CPU provides a stable foundation with its six cores and twelve threads. The measured results show a clear hierarchy of performance across presets and resolutions, making it possible to draw direct conclusions about how to configure the game for the best experience.

Resolution Scaling

The transition from 1080p to 4K shows a significant and predictable drop in frame rates across all settings, which strongly indicates that the Intel Arc B390 is the bottleneck in this system. At 1080p with Low settings, the combo achieves an average of 88 FPS. Moving to 1440p Low drops that to 58 FPS, and at 4K Low it falls further to 32 FPS. This is a reduction of roughly 64% from 1080p to 4K, a scale that points directly at the GPU struggling with the pixel count.

The scaling pattern is consistent across all presets. For High settings, the averages are 56 FPS at 1080p, 37 FPS at 1440p, and 20 FPS at 4K. Medium settings show 70 FPS, 46 FPS, and 25 FPS respectively, while Ultra settings go from 43 FPS at 1080p down to 29 FPS at 1440p and 16 FPS at 4K. The gap between 1080p and 1440p is substantial in every case, but the drop from 1440p to 4K is even more severe, particularly on High and Ultra presets where the averages fall into the low 20s and teens.

What this tells the builder is that the CPU is not the constraint here. The Ryzen 5 4600G, with its 6 cores and 12 threads, is capable of feeding frames at 1080p, as evidenced by the 88 FPS result on Low. If the CPU were the limiting factor, we would expect to see the frame rates plateau or drop less dramatically as resolution increases, because the CPU workload per frame would remain roughly constant. Instead, the FPS plummets with every resolution increase, which is the classic signature of a GPU that is saturated by the rendering load. The Arc B390, with its 1536 shading units and a 3DMark Steel Nomad score of 1482, is simply not built for high-resolution rendering, and the data confirms this.

FAQ

Q: Can this combo handle Fivem at 1080p with playable frame rates?

A: Yes, with the right settings. The measured data shows 88 FPS at Low, 70 FPS at Medium, and 56 FPS at High settings at 1920x1080. This indicates that playable frame rates are achievable at 1080p, though pushing to Ultra drops the average to 43 FPS.

Q: What is the best resolution for this hardware in Fivem?

A: Based on the measured results, 1920x1080 is the only resolution where the combo consistently delivers above 40 FPS across multiple presets. At 2560x1440, only the Low preset breaks the 50 FPS mark with an average of 58 FPS, while High and Medium fall to 37 FPS and 46 FPS. At 3840x2160, all presets fail to reach 32 FPS.

How This Combo Ranks

The combination of the AMD Ryzen 5 4600G and the Intel Arc B390 ranks at 2656 out of 3005 tested combos in Fivem. This places it in the bottom 12% of all pairings, which is a direct reflection of the GPU's low performance ceiling. The GPU's average benchmark score of 1482 puts it in the 9th percentile of all GPUs, and that weakness is fully exposed in these game results.

The CPU is not the reason for this low ranking. The Ryzen 5 4600G's average benchmark score is 17507, which is in the 71st percentile of all CPUs. Its nearest rivals, such as the AMD Ryzen 3 PRO 5355GE with a score of 17482 (0.1% difference) and the Intel Core 7 150U with 17395 (0.6% difference), are all in a similar performance bracket. This shows the CPU is a competent part that would be paired with a much stronger GPU in a higher-ranking combo. The data indicates that the Arc B390 is dragging the entire system down, as its performance level is comparable to much older, entry-level discrete GPUs like the GeForce GT 710, which scores 1443 (2.7% lower). The ranking of 2656 out of 3005 is a clear verdict on the overall balance of this pair.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the lowest resolution tested, the combo shows its best results. The Low preset delivers an average of 88 FPS. Medium settings produce an average of 70 FPS, with a minimum of 59 FPS and a maximum of 80 FPS. High settings drop to an average of 56 FPS, and Ultra settings fall to 43 FPS. The data shows a clear trend where each step up in quality costs roughly 13-14 FPS.

Moving to 2560x1440, the performance takes a significant hit. The Low preset averages 58 FPS, which is the only preset at this resolution to exceed 50 FPS. Medium settings average 46 FPS, with a minimum of 39 FPS and a maximum of 53 FPS. High settings average 37 FPS, and Ultra settings drop to 29 FPS. The frame rate loss from 1080p to 1440p ranges from 30 FPS on Low to 14 FPS on Ultra, showing that the GPU is already struggling with the increased pixel count.

At 3840x2160, the results are marginal for any kind of smooth gameplay. Low settings average 32 FPS, which is the only preset to break the 30 FPS barrier. Medium settings average 25 FPS, with a minimum of 22 FPS and a maximum of 29 FPS. High settings drop to 20 FPS, and Ultra settings fall to 16 FPS. The data is consistent: this combo is not viable for 4K gaming in Fivem, as every preset fails to provide a stable 30 FPS experience.

Settings Recommendations

The measured data provides a clear path for the best experience with this hardware. For 1080p, which is the only resolution that offers a broad range of playable settings, the Medium preset is the sweet spot. It delivers an average of 70 FPS, which is well above the 60 FPS threshold that most players target. The minimum FPS of 59 is also solid, meaning the experience should be smooth without significant stutters. While High settings at 56 FPS are also playable, the Medium preset offers more headroom and a better minimum frame rate, making it the safer choice for consistent performance.

For players who prioritize frame rate over visual fidelity, the Low preset at 1080p offers the best performance at 88 FPS. This could be preferable for competitive play or for players using high-refresh-rate monitors. However, the visual quality will be noticeably lower. At 1440p, the Low preset is the only viable option, with an average of 58 FPS. Medium settings at 46 FPS are borderline, and the minimum of 39 FPS might cause noticeable dips. High and Ultra settings at 1440p are not recommended, as they fall below 40 FPS.

The data does not support using this combo at 4K. Even the Low preset at 32 FPS is below the threshold for a comfortable experience, and the Medium preset's minimum of 22 FPS suggests significant frame time inconsistency. The recommendation is clear: stick to 1080p for the best balance of quality and performance, using either Low for maximum FPS or Medium for a better visual experience without sacrificing smoothness.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 5 4600G plays a supporting role in this pairing, and its specifications suggest it is more than capable of handling the CPU demands of Fivem. It has 6 cores and 12 threads, which is a configuration that provides ample parallelism for a modern multiplayer game. The base clock is 3.70 GHz, and it boosts to 4.20 GHz, giving it a reasonable frequency for single-threaded tasks. The CPU is based on the Zen 2 architecture, built on a 7 nm process at TSMC, with a 65 W TDP.

The benchmark data shows that the CPU is not the limiting factor in this system. Its Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 13593 indicates strong multi-threaded performance, and the single-core score of 1919 is respectable. In the context of Fivem, which is a multiplayer mod for a game that traditionally relies on single-core performance, the 4.20 GHz boost clock should provide adequate performance. The 3DMark scores also show good scaling from 2 threads (1430) to 8 threads (4138), suggesting the CPU can handle the varying thread loads that a multiplayer environment can throw at it.

The fact that FPS drops so dramatically with resolution increases is direct evidence that the GPU is the performance ceiling. If the CPU were the bottleneck, the FPS would remain relatively flat across resolutions, or the CPU would show signs of saturation in the benchmark data. Instead, the CPU's 71st percentile ranking and solid benchmark scores, combined with the GPU's 9th percentile ranking, tell the story. The Ryzen 5 4600G is a capable processor that is being held back by the Arc B390, and in this specific game, the CPU's role is to provide a stable platform that allows the GPU to work to its full, albeit limited, potential.
