Fivem

The AMD Ryzen 7 3700X paired with the Intel Arc B390 presents a highly unusual combination in Fivem. The benchmark data shows a system where the CPU's substantial multi-threading capabilities are almost entirely neutralized by a GPU that ranks in the bottom percentile of all tested graphics cards. The measured frame rates are consistently low across all settings and resolutions, indicating a severe bottleneck that prevents this combination from achieving playable performance in most scenarios.

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

The AMD Ryzen 7 3700X is a Zen 2 architecture processor built on a 7 nm process at TSMC, featuring 8 cores and 16 threads. Its base clock is 3.60 GHz, boosting up to 4.40 GHz, with 32 MB of L3 cache. The processor has a 65 W TDP and supports DDR4 memory over a dual-channel bus with 51.2 GB/s bandwidth. It scores 2092 in Cinebench R15 multi-core and 204 in single-core, with a Geekbench multi-core score of 8899 and single-core of 1593.

In terms of raw processing power, the Ryzen 7 3700X holds its own against modern rivals. Its average benchmark score of 34260 places it at the 84th percentile of all CPUs tested. The nearest rivals show a tightly clustered group: the AMD Ryzen AI 7 350 scores 34222 (0.1% behind), the AMD EPYC 4244P scores 34220 (also 0.1% behind), the Intel Core i5-13450HX scores 34333 (0.2% ahead), and the Intel Core Ultra 7 165H scores 34083 (0.5% behind). This processor is not the limiting factor in this system for Fivem.

The data indicates that the Ryzen 7 3700X has ample headroom for the game's logical threads. Passmark multi-thread score of 22458 and physics score of 1181 suggest strong processing capability. However, the measured FPS results do not improve when moving from 1080p to 4K as much as one would expect if the CPU were the bottleneck. Instead, the FPS scales poorly with resolution changes, pointing to the GPU as the primary constraint. The CPU's role here is underutilized; it is waiting on the graphics adapter to deliver frames, and no amount of processor throughput can compensate for the GPU's limitations.

GPU Role — VRAM, clocks, and how they relate to this game's results

The Intel Arc B390 is an integrated graphics solution based on the Xe3-LPG architecture, manufactured on Intel's 3 nm process. It has a base clock of 300 MHz and a boost clock of 2500 MHz. Its memory is designated as "System Shared," meaning it draws from system RAM rather than dedicated VRAM, with bandwidth listed as "System Dependent." The GPU features 1536 shading units, 48 TMUs, and 24 ROPs, along with 12 ray tracing cores.

The Arc B390's performance is strikingly low. Its 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score is 1482, placing it at just the 9th percentile of all GPUs. The nearest rivals are all older or entry-level discrete cards: the NVIDIA GeForce GT 520MX scores 1463 (1.3% behind), the NVIDIA GeForce 800M scores 1460 (1.5% behind), the NVIDIA GeForce GT 625 OEM scores 1446 (2.5% behind), and the NVIDIA GeForce GT 710 scores 1443 (2.7% behind). This places the Arc B390 in the same performance class as decade-old entry-level mobile GPUs.

The GPU's compute capabilities are also minimal. It delivers 7.680 TFLOPS FP32 and 15.36 TFLOPS FP16 (2:1), with a pixel rate of 60.00 GPixel/s and texture rate of 120.0 GTexel/s. Despite supporting DirectX 12 Ultimate (12_2), OpenGL 4.6, and Vulkan 1.4, the raw execution resources are insufficient for modern gaming. In Fivem, the Arc B390 becomes the definitive bottleneck. The system shared memory architecture means the GPU competes with the CPU for memory bandwidth, further degrading performance in a game that requires consistent frame delivery.

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

The measured FPS data shows a clear pattern of degradation as resolution increases, but the magnitude of the drop reveals the GPU's weakness. At 1080p with Low settings, the average is 88 FPS. Moving to 1440p Low drops this to 58 FPS (a 34% reduction), and at 4K Low it falls to 32 FPS (a 64% reduction from 1080p). This scaling is characteristic of a GPU-bound scenario where pixel throughput becomes the limiting factor.

For Medium settings, the trend is similar: 70 FPS at 1080p, 46 FPS at 1440p (34% drop), and 25 FPS at 4K (64% drop). The percentage decreases are consistent across settings, which is a strong indicator that the GPU is saturated regardless of quality level. If the CPU were the primary constraint, we would typically see smaller FPS differences between 1080p and 4K because the processor's workload remains relatively constant while the GPU's load increases.

The High settings row reinforces this: 56 FPS at 1080p, 37 FPS at 1440p (34% drop), and 20 FPS at 4K (64% drop). Even at Ultra, which starts at 43 FPS at 1080p, the drop to 29 FPS at 1440p and 16 FPS at 4K follows the same proportional pattern. The consistent 34% and 64% reductions across all settings confirm that the Arc B390 is the sole limiting component. The Ryzen 7 3700X is not contributing to frame rate variance; it is simply waiting for the GPU to finish each frame.

How This Combo Ranks — use comboRankInGame vs other tested combos

This specific combination of AMD Ryzen 7 3700X and Intel Arc B390 ranks 2656 out of 3005 tested combos in Fivem. This places it in the bottom 12% of all configurations tested, which is consistent with the GPU's low percentile ranking. The rank reflects the overall playability and performance of the system as a whole.

The combo rank is driven almost entirely by the GPU, as the CPU ranks in the 84th percentile while the GPU ranks in the 9th percentile. This mismatch creates a system where a relatively capable processor is paired with a graphics solution that cannot keep pace. The data suggests that this combo is not optimized for Fivem or any demanding game, as the integrated GPU architecture and system shared memory are fundamentally unsuited for the task. The rank also indicates that most other tested combos, even those with older or less capable CPUs, likely outperform this pairing because they include discrete GPUs with dedicated VRAM.

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

The measured FPS data provides a complete picture of the system's performance envelope. At 1920x1080, the lowest resolution tested, the system achieves its best results but still struggles to maintain high frame rates. Low settings produce 88 FPS average, Medium produces 70 FPS with a minimum of 59 and maximum of 80, High produces 56 FPS, and Ultra produces 43 FPS. These numbers indicate that at 1080p, the system can be marginally playable at Low and Medium settings, but High and Ultra will result in noticeable stutter.

At 2560x1440, performance drops significantly across the board. Low settings yield 58 FPS, Medium yields 46 FPS with a minimum of 39 and maximum of 53, High yields 37 FPS, and Ultra yields 29 FPS. The 1440p resolution pushes the Arc B390 beyond its comfortable operating range, and even Low settings fall below the 60 FPS threshold that most players consider smooth. The Medium setting's minimum of 39 FPS indicates potential frame drops during intensive scenes.

At 3840x2160, the system is effectively unplayable. Low settings produce 32 FPS, Medium produces 25 FPS with a minimum of 22 and maximum of 29, High produces 20 FPS, and Ultra produces 16 FPS. All 4K results fall below 35 FPS, meaning even the least demanding settings cannot maintain a consistent frame rate. The frame pacing at this resolution would be highly erratic, making the game feel unresponsive. The maximum FPS at 4K Medium is 29, which is lower than the average FPS at 1080p Low (88), highlighting the dramatic performance cliff as resolution increases.

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

Based on the measured data, the only viable configuration for this combo is 1080p with Low settings, which delivers 88 FPS average. This is the only setting and resolution combination that approaches smooth gameplay. At 1080p Medium, the average drops to 70 FPS with a minimum of 59, which is technically playable but leaves little headroom for demanding scenes. The 59 FPS minimum is close to the 60 FPS target, and any complex scene in Fivem could push it lower.

For users willing to accept lower visual quality, 1440p Low at 58 FPS is another option, but the average falls just short of 60 FPS, and the lack of a recorded minimum suggests potential instability. The data does not support using High or Ultra settings at any resolution, as even 1080p High only achieves 56 FPS, and 1080p Ultra drops to 43 FPS. At 4K, no setting is recommended, as the highest average (32 FPS at Low) falls well below playable thresholds.

The best experience per the measured rows is clearly 1080p Low. This setting provides the highest average frame rate and the most consistent performance. If visual fidelity is a priority, 1080p Medium offers a compromise at 70 FPS, but the minimum of 59 FPS indicates that the system is operating near its limits. Users should avoid 4K entirely and use 1440p only with Low settings if they need the extra resolution for desktop productivity rather than gaming.
