Fivem

The AMD Ryzen 5 7500F paired with the Intel Arc B390 presents a stark performance profile in Fivem, characterized by a powerful CPU constrained by a very weak integrated GPU. The measured data shows that this combination is capable of producing playable frame rates at lower resolutions and settings, but it quickly becomes untenable at higher graphical presets and resolutions. The following analysis breaks down the measured FPS data, system roles, and ranking to provide a clear picture of what this hardware can deliver.

Settings Recommendations

The measured FPS data across resolutions and settings paints a clear picture of where this combo operates best. At 1920x1080, the Low preset delivers an average of 88 FPS, which is the highest frame rate recorded for this system. This is the only setting that approaches the 90 FPS mark, making it the definitive choice for smooth, competitive gameplay. The Medium preset at 1080p yields an average of 70 FPS, with a minimum of 59 FPS and a maximum of 80 FPS, which is still a viable option for a balance between visual fidelity and responsiveness. The High preset at 1080p drops to an average of 56 FPS, which is playable but begins to show the GPU's limitations. The Ultra preset at 1080p falls to an average of 43 FPS, which is noticeably less fluid.

Moving to 2560x1440, the situation becomes more constrained. The Low preset is the only one that maintains a playable average, hitting 58 FPS. The Medium preset at this resolution averages 46 FPS, with a minimum of 39 FPS, which is on the edge of acceptable smoothness for a multiplayer title. The High preset at 1440p averages 37 FPS, and the Ultra preset falls to 29 FPS, both of which are likely to feel sluggish in fast-paced scenarios. At 3840x2160, all presets are below playable thresholds. The Low preset averages 32 FPS, Medium averages 25 FPS, High averages 20 FPS, and Ultra averages 16 FPS.

Based on this data, the optimal experience is found at 1920x1080 with the Low preset, where the system achieves its maximum average FPS. For users who prefer higher visual quality, the Medium preset at 1080p is the best compromise, providing a 70 FPS average that remains above the 60 FPS threshold. The data indicates that this hardware is not suited for 1440p or 4K gaming, as even the lowest settings fail to provide a consistently smooth experience at those resolutions.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 5 7500F is a 6-core, 12-thread processor from the 7000 series, built on the Zen 4 architecture. It operates with a base clock of 3.70 GHz and a boost clock of 5.00 GHz. This CPU is a clear performance leader in the system, as evidenced by its benchmark scores. In Cinebench R23, it scores 22799 points in the multicore test and 3218 points in the single-core test. In Geekbench, it achieves a multicore score of 12362 and a single-core score of 2374. Its percentile ranking among all CPUs is 77, indicating it outperforms the majority of processors in the database.

The CPU's nearest rivals in terms of average benchmark score include the Intel Core i7-11850H, which has a deltaPct of 0.1%, and the AMD Ryzen 5 8400F, which is -0.2% slower. This places the 7500F in a competitive position with high-end laptop and desktop chips from previous generations. The benchmark results show a strong scaling from 2 threads (1902 in 3DMark) to 8 threads (5372 in 3DMark), and the max threads score of 6379 is nearly identical to the 16-thread score of 6376, indicating that the 6-core/12-thread configuration is being fully utilized.

In the context of Fivem, this CPU power is largely underutilized due to the GPU bottleneck. The data shows that at 1080p Low, the system achieves 88 FPS, but this is not limited by the CPU. The CPU's single-thread performance, as seen in the Cinebench R15 single-core score of 324 and the PassMark single-thread score of 3841, is more than sufficient for the game's logic and physics. The bottleneck is almost entirely on the GPU side, which is unable to keep up with the CPU's frame generation capabilities. The CPU's 65W TDP and 5 nm process node make it an efficient part, but its performance headroom is wasted in this configuration.

How This Combo Ranks

The AMD Ryzen 5 7500F and Intel Arc B390 combination is ranked 2656 out of 3005 tested combos in Fivem. This places it in the lower 11.6% of all tested systems, indicating that it is a weak performer for this specific game. The ranking is heavily influenced by the GPU's poor performance, as the CPU itself is a strong component.

The CPU's percentile of 77 shows that it is a high-performing part, but the GPU's percentile of 9 drags the entire system down. The combination of a top-quartile CPU with a bottom-decile GPU creates a significant imbalance that is reflected in the low overall combo rank. This rank suggests that the system will struggle to provide a competitive experience in Fivem, which is a multiplayer title where frame rate consistency is crucial. The data indicates that users would need to drastically lower settings and resolution to achieve a playable frame rate, as evidenced by the 88 FPS at 1080p Low being the only high-performance result.

Resolution Scaling

The measured FPS data shows a clear and predictable scaling pattern as resolution increases. At Low settings, the average FPS drops from 88 at 1920x1080 to 58 at 2560x1440, and then to 32 at 3840x2160. This represents a 34% decrease in performance when moving from 1080p to 1440p, and a 64% decrease from 1080p to 4K. The Medium settings show a similar trend, with averages of 70, 46, and 25 FPS at 1080p, 1440p, and 4K, respectively. High settings scale from 56 FPS at 1080p to 37 FPS at 1440p and 20 FPS at 4K. Ultra settings are the most demanding, dropping from 43 FPS at 1080p to 29 FPS at 1440p and 16 FPS at 4K.

This scaling behavior is a classic indicator of a GPU-limited system. The number of pixels being rendered increases significantly at higher resolutions, and the Intel Arc B390, with its limited pixel rate of 60.00 GPixel/s, cannot handle the increased workload. The CPU is not the bottleneck here, as its performance does not degrade with resolution. The data shows that the GPU is the limiting component, as the frame rate drops proportionally with the increase in pixel count. This is further confirmed by the fact that at 1080p, the system can achieve 88 FPS, which is a respectable number, but it falls off rapidly as resolution increases. The system is fundamentally limited by the GPU's fill rate and memory bandwidth, which is "System Shared" and thus dependent on the system's main memory.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The following is a complete breakdown of the measured FPS data for Fivem with the AMD Ryzen 5 7500F and Intel Arc B390.

1920x1080 (1080p):

• Low: Average 88 FPS
• Medium: Average 70 FPS, Minimum 59 FPS, Maximum 80 FPS
• High: Average 56 FPS
• Ultra: Average 43 FPS

2560x1440 (1440p):

• Low: Average 58 FPS
• Medium: Average 46 FPS, Minimum 39 FPS, Maximum 53 FPS

The data shows a consistent pattern: for every resolution, the Low preset provides the highest average FPS, and the Ultra preset provides the lowest. The Medium preset, where min and max data is available, shows a variance of about 14-21 FPS between the minimum and maximum, indicating some frame time inconsistency. The gap between Low and Ultra settings widens as resolution increases, from a 45 FPS difference at 1080p to a 16 FPS difference at 4K, showing that the GPU is being overwhelmed at higher resolutions. This data confirms that the only way to get a smooth experience is to use the Low preset at 1080p.

GPU Role

The Intel Arc B390 is an integrated GPU based on the Xe3-LPG architecture, built on a 3 nm process node. It has a base clock of 300 MHz and a boost clock of 2500 MHz. The GPU has 1536 shading units, 48 texture mapping units, and 24 raster output units. It also includes 12 ray tracing cores. Its memory is "System Shared", meaning it uses the system's main memory rather than dedicated VRAM. The GPU supports DirectX 12 Ultimate (12_2), OpenGL 4.6, and Vulkan 1.4.

The GPU's performance is exceptionally low, as evidenced by its benchmark score of 1482 in 3DMark Steel Nomad (DX12). Its percentile ranking is 9, meaning it performs better than only 9% of all GPUs in the database. Its nearest rivals are the NVIDIA GeForce GT 520MX, which is 1.3% slower, and the NVIDIA GeForce 800M, which is 1.5% slower. These rivals are all from older generations and are considered entry-level or integrated parts. The GPU's theoretical performance figures, such as 7.680 TFLOPS FP32 and 60.00 GPixel/s, are low compared to dedicated graphics cards, but they are typical for an integrated solution.

In Fivem, the GPU is the primary bottleneck. The CPU is capable of producing higher frame rates, but the GPU cannot keep up. The low pixel rate and the reliance on system memory for bandwidth severely limit the GPU's ability to render the game at high settings or resolutions. The data shows that the GPU is the limiting factor, as the frame rates are consistently low across all settings and resolutions. The GPU's 80W TDP is low, but it is an integrated part, and its performance is simply not sufficient for a modern multiplayer game like Fivem at anything above the lowest settings. The system's overall performance is dictated almost entirely by this weak GPU.
