# Fivem Performance Analysis: AMD Ryzen 7 5700 + Intel Arc B370

The benchmark data for Fivem with the AMD Ryzen 7 5700 and Intel Arc B370 reveals a configuration that is heavily constrained by graphics processing, particularly at higher resolutions. The combo ranks 2762 out of 3005 tested combinations, placing it in the bottom 8.1% of all tested systems for this game. Measured frame rates range from a playable 80 FPS at 1080p Low to a nearly unusable 14 FPS at 4K Ultra, demonstrating that this pairing is best suited for lower-resolution, lower-detail gaming in Fivem's multiplayer environment.

Resolution Scaling

The resolution scaling behavior of this combo shows a steep performance cliff as pixel count increases. At 1080p Low settings, the system delivers 80 FPS average, which drops to 53 FPS at 1440p Low, a 33.8% reduction. Moving to 4K Low, the average falls to 29 FPS, representing a 63.8% drop from the 1080p figure. This scaling pattern indicates that the Intel Arc B370's rendering throughput is the primary bottleneck, as the frame rate degradation closely tracks the pixel-count increase.

The High settings row tells a similar story. At 1080p High, the average is 50 FPS; at 1440p High, it drops to 33 FPS (34% loss); and at 4K High, it collapses to 18 FPS (64% loss from 1080p). The consistency of these percentage drops across different quality presets suggests that resolution is the dominant factor in performance scaling, rather than the specific graphics workload changes between presets.

At Medium settings, where min and max FPS data are available, the scaling shows additional insight. The 1080p Medium run averages 63 FPS with a range of 54-72 FPS. At 1440p Medium, the average drops to 41 FPS with a range of 35-48 FPS. The 4K Medium run averages 23 FPS with a range of 20-26 FPS. The frame time consistency appears to degrade proportionally with resolution, as the spread between min and max remains relatively tight at each resolution.

Ultra settings present the most extreme scaling behavior. The 1080p Ultra average is 39 FPS, which is already below the 50 FPS High preset at the same resolution. At 1440p Ultra, the average falls to 26 FPS, and at 4K Ultra, it reaches just 14 FPS. The gap between High and Ultra at 1080p is 22% (50 vs 39 FPS), but at 4K, the gap narrows to 22.2% (18 vs 14 FPS), suggesting that at higher resolutions, the GPU is so saturated that additional settings changes have diminishing absolute impact.

The data indicates that this system operates in a GPU-limited regime across all tested resolutions. The Arc B370's 6.144 TFLOPS FP32 throughput and 20 ROPs are insufficient to maintain high frame rates at 1440p and above in Fivem, even with the Ryzen 7 5700's 8-core/16-thread configuration providing ample CPU headroom.

GPU Role

The Intel Arc B370 is the defining component in this system's Fivem performance profile. Its specifications reveal a low-power integrated graphics solution: a 25 W TDP, 300 MHz base clock, and 2400 MHz boost clock. The GPU features 1280 shading units, 40 TMUs, and 20 ROPs, with 10 ray tracing cores. Memory is system-shared, meaning the GPU relies on the Ryzen 7 5700's DDR4 dual-channel configuration with 51.2 GB/s bandwidth, making memory performance system-dependent.

The Arc B370's benchmark pedigree places it in the 5th percentile of all GPUs, with a 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 1184. Its nearest rivals in synthetic benchmarks are the ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5570 (score 1186, delta -0.2%), ATI Radeon HD 5770 (score 1190, delta -0.5%), and AMD Radeon HD 7650M (score 1192, delta -0.7%). The AMD FirePro M2000 scores slightly lower at 1168, which is 1.4% behind the Arc B370. These comparisons place the B370 in the company of decade-old discrete GPUs, which aligns with its observed Fivem performance.

The GPU's clock behavior is notable: the boost clock of 2400 MHz on a 3 nm process (Intel foundry) allows for respectable per-clock efficiency, but the small shader count and narrow ROP configuration limit overall throughput. The pixel rate of 48.00 GPixel/s and texture rate of 96.00 GTexel/s are the theoretical ceilings, but Fivem's realistic workloads likely prevent these from being fully utilized.

In Fivem specifically, the GPU's role is critical at every tested setting. Even at 1080p Low, where the CPU has the least work per frame, the system achieves only 80 FPS. The Ryzen 7 5700's single-thread score of 901 in 3DMark and 2916 in Cinebench R23 suggests it can handle Fivem's CPU demands, yet the frame rate ceiling remains modest. This is a clear indication that the Arc B370 is the limiting factor across all configurations tested.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 7 5700 provides a strong foundation for this system, though its capabilities are largely untapped in Fivem at the tested settings. This 8-core, 16-thread processor from the 5000 series uses the Zen 3 architecture (Cezanne codename) built on TSMC's 7 nm process. It operates at a 3.70 GHz base clock and 4.60 GHz boost clock, with a 65 W TDP. The CPU supports DDR4 memory across a dual-channel bus with 51.2 GB/s bandwidth, and it includes 16 MB of L3 cache plus 512 KB L2 per core.

The Ryzen 7 5700's synthetic benchmark results show a well-rounded performer. In Cinebench R23, it scores 20655 multi-core and 2916 single-core. The 3DMark results show 6628 with 16 threads, 5585 with 8 threads, 3382 with 4 threads, and 1762 with 2 threads, with a single-thread score of 901. Geekbench results are 9959 multi-core and 1907 single-core. These numbers place the CPU in the 78th percentile of all CPUs, with an average benchmark score of 25517. Its nearest rivals include the Intel Xeon D-2752TER (25530, -0.1%), AMD Ryzen 5 7640U (25485, +0.1%), AMD Ryzen 5 6600H (25550, -0.1%), and AMD Ryzen 7 5825U (25446, +0.3%).

In Fivem, the CPU's role is to manage the multiplayer simulation, game logic, and entity processing. The 8-core/16-thread configuration provides substantial parallel processing capability, as evidenced by the PassMark multithread score of 24303 and integer math score of 90091. However, Fivem is known to be sensitive to single-thread performance, and the Ryzen 7 5700's single-thread capabilities (3296 in PassMark singlethread, 2916 in Cinebench R23 single-core) are adequate but not exceptional.

The benchmark data suggests the CPU is not the primary constraint in any tested configuration. At 1080p Low, where GPU load is lightest, the system reaches 80 FPS. If the CPU were limiting, we would expect to see similar frame rates across different resolutions at the same settings, but the data shows clear resolution-dependent scaling. For instance, at Low settings, the frame rate drops from 80 at 1080p to 53 at 1440p to 29 at 4K, a pattern that points firmly to GPU limitation.

Settings Recommendations

Based on the measured FPS data, the optimal settings configuration depends on the user's target resolution and acceptable frame rate. At 1080p, the Low preset delivers 80 FPS average, which is the highest frame rate measured in this entire dataset. The Medium preset at 1080p still offers a solid 63 FPS average with a range of 54-72 FPS, making it the best balance of visual quality and performance for most users at this resolution. The High preset at 1080p drops to 50 FPS, which is borderline for fast-paced multiplayer, while Ultra at 1080p falls to 39 FPS, likely too low for competitive play.

At 1440p, the situation becomes more challenging. The Low preset delivers 53 FPS, which is acceptable for casual play but below the 60 FPS threshold many players prefer. The Medium preset at 1440p averages 41 FPS with a range of 35-48 FPS, which may be tolerable in less demanding scenarios. High at 1440p drops to 33 FPS, and Ultra falls to 26 FPS, both likely unsatisfactory for a multiplayer game like Fivem where smoothness matters.

At 4K, none of the presets deliver acceptable performance. The best result is 29 FPS at Low settings, followed by 23 FPS at Medium, 18 FPS at High, and 14 FPS at Ultra. These frame rates are too low for a responsive multiplayer experience and are only suitable for screenshot purposes or very casual, non-competitive play.

The data indicates that the Medium preset at 1080p provides the best overall experience, offering 63 FPS average with a minimum of 54 FPS. This represents a 21.2% improvement over High settings at the same resolution while maintaining a visually acceptable quality level. For users prioritizing frame rate above all else, the Low preset at 1080p with 80 FPS is the clear choice, though it sacrifices visual fidelity for a 27% frame rate gain over Medium.

How This Combo Ranks

The AMD Ryzen 7 5700 + Intel Arc B370 combination ranks 2762 out of 3005 tested combos in Fivem, placing it in the bottom 8.1% of all configurations. This ranking reflects the significant GPU bottleneck discussed throughout this analysis. The CPU's 78th percentile standing among all processors contrasts sharply with the GPU's 5th percentile position, creating a stark imbalance that the Fivem benchmark results make evident.

This ranking is consistent with the GPU's synthetic benchmark position. The Arc B370's 3DMark Steel Nomad score of 1184 places it near the bottom of the GPU hierarchy, alongside GPUs that are over a decade old. The nearest rivals, ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5570, ATI Radeon HD 5770, and AMD Radeon HD 7650M, are all legacy products, and the B370's performance delta from these is within ±0.7%. This suggests that in Fivem, the B370 performs like a low-end GPU from 2010-2011, which aligns with the observed frame rates.

The combo rank of 2762/3005 means that 92% of tested configurations outperform this pairing in Fivem. This is a critical consideration for anyone evaluating this hardware combination for multiplayer gaming. While the Ryzen 7 5700 provides strong CPU performance, the Arc B370's limitations at higher resolutions and quality settings prevent this system from delivering a competitive Fivem experience.

The data also shows that the GPU's percentile ranking (5th) is lower than the combo's in-game ranking (8.1% from bottom), suggesting that Fivem's workload is slightly less GPU-intensive than the synthetic Steel Nomad test, allowing the combo to perform marginally better relative to other systems than the GPU's raw benchmark would suggest.
