Fivem

The AMD Ryzen 7 5700G paired with the Intel Arc B370 delivers a playable, though heavily constrained, experience in Fivem. The data shows a configuration where the integrated-class GPU is the overwhelming bottleneck, with the CPU’s substantial multi-threading capabilities largely untapped at higher resolutions. This analysis breaks down the measured performance, focusing on resolution scaling, competitive ranking, component roles, and optimal settings.

Resolution Scaling

The measured FPS data reveals a steep and consistent performance cliff as resolution increases, a classic signature of a GPU-limited system. At 1080p with Low settings, the combo achieves an average of 80 FPS. Moving to 1440p at the same settings drops that to 53 FPS, a 34% reduction, and at 4K it falls further to 29 FPS. This pattern is not an anomaly; it repeats across all quality presets. For instance, at High settings, the average FPS drops from 50 at 1080p, to 33 at 1440p, and finally to 18 at 4K. The scaling is nearly linear with the pixel count increase, indicating that the Intel Arc B370’s rendering throughput is the primary constraint.

The data strongly suggests that the limiting component is the GPU. The Arc B370 has a low raw performance profile, as evidenced by its 3DMark Steel Nomad score of 1184 and its 5th percentile ranking among all GPUs. When the resolution increases, the GPU must shade and rasterize more pixels, and its fixed execution resources (1280 shading units, 20 ROPs) are quickly saturated. The CPU, an 8-core/16-thread Ryzen 7 5700G, is unlikely to be the bottleneck at 4K, as the frame rates are far too low to stress its processing power. The frame time data supports this, with the 4K Medium preset showing a minimum of 20 FPS and a maximum of 26 FPS, a very narrow window that points to consistent GPU-bound rendering rather than CPU-driven hitches.

The drop from 1080p to 1440p is particularly telling. At 1080p Low, the 80 FPS average suggests the system has enough headroom to push more pixels. However, the 27 FPS loss at 1440p Low shows that the GPU cannot maintain that throughput. This is a characteristic of a GPU with limited fillrate and memory bandwidth. The Arc B370’s memory bandwidth is listed as "System Dependent," meaning it relies on shared system memory, which is a significant handicap at higher resolutions where bandwidth demands increase. The conclusion is clear: this combo is only viable at 1080p, and even then, users will need to compromise on settings to achieve smooth gameplay.

How This Combo Ranks

In the grand scheme of tested hardware, this combination does not fare well. The data places this specific CPU-GPU pairing at rank 2762 out of 3005 tested combos in Fivem. This puts it in the bottom 8% of all configurations, a position that reflects the GPU's weak standing. The Intel Arc B370’s individual percentile is 5, meaning it outperforms only 5% of all GPUs in the database. The CPU, in contrast, is a much stronger component, sitting in the 79th percentile among all CPUs.

The disparity between the two components is stark. The Ryzen 7 5700G is a capable processor, with an average benchmark score of 27051. Its closest rivals in synthetic benchmarks are the Intel Core i9-9900K (avg score 27097, deltaPct -0.2), the Intel Core i5-14400T (avg score 27166, deltaPct -0.4), and the AMD Ryzen AI 7 445 (avg score 26936, deltaPct 0.4). This shows the CPU is a solid mid-range performer, capable of keeping up with older high-end and newer mid-range parts. However, its potential is wasted when paired with the Arc B370.

The GPU’s nearest rivals are from a bygone era. The ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5570 (avg score 1186, deltaPct -0.2), ATI Radeon HD 5770 (avg score 1190, deltaPct -0.5), and AMD Radeon HD 7650M (avg score 1192, deltaPct -0.7) all have similar average scores. This context is crucial; the Arc B370 is performing at the level of a discrete GPU from over a decade ago. Consequently, the combo's rank is dragged down entirely by the GPU. The CPU could easily support a much more powerful graphics card, but as configured, the system is firmly in entry-level territory, unable to deliver a competitive experience in a demanding multiplayer game like Fivem.

GPU Role

The Intel Arc B370 is the decisive factor in this combo's performance, and its specifications explain why. It is an integrated graphics processor (IGP) based on the Xe3-LPG architecture, built on Intel's 3 nm process. Its clock speeds are listed with a base of 300 MHz and a boost of 2400 MHz. While the boost clock is respectable, the GPU is fundamentally limited by its memory configuration: the memory size, type, and bus width are all listed as "System Shared," with bandwidth that is "System Dependent." This means the GPU must share the system's DDR4 memory, which is a major bottleneck for bandwidth-intensive tasks.

The compute resources are modest. The GPU features 1280 shading units, 40 TMUs, and 20 ROPs. Its pixel rate is 48.00 GPixel/s and texture rate is 96.00 GTexel/s. The FP32 performance is 6.144 TFLOPS. These numbers, combined with the shared memory, result in the low 3DMark Steel Nomad score of 1184. The data shows that this GPU is not designed for high-resolution gaming. In Fivem, a game that can be demanding on both CPU and GPU in busy multiplayer areas, the Arc B370’s limitations are exposed.

The practical effect is that the GPU can only manage an 18 FPS average at 4K High and 14 FPS at 4K Ultra. Even at 1080p, the highest preset (Ultra) yields only 39 FPS. The GPU is unable to process the graphical load at higher resolutions, leading to the frame rate collapse seen in the scaling data. The fact that the GPU has a TDP of just 25 W further underscores its position as a power-efficient, low-performance part. It is not a gaming GPU in the traditional sense; it is an integrated solution that happens to be paired with a powerful CPU, creating a significant mismatch.

Settings Recommendations

Based on the measured rows, the optimal balance of visual quality and performance is found at 1080p with Medium settings. This configuration yields an average of 63 FPS, with a minimum of 54 FPS and a maximum of 72 FPS. This is the only preset where the frame rate is consistently above the 60 FPS threshold across the measured range, making it the clear choice for a smooth experience. The minimum FPS of 54 is also acceptable, avoiding severe stutters.

Dropping to Low settings at 1080p increases the average to 80 FPS, but this comes at a significant visual cost. The jump from Low to Medium provides a better visual experience for a 17 FPS loss on average, which is a worthwhile trade-off for most users. The High preset at 1080p delivers 50 FPS, which is playable but not ideal for a fast-paced multiplayer game, as it may feel less responsive. The Ultra preset at 1080p is not recommended, as it drops to 39 FPS, which is below the threshold for smooth gameplay.

At 1440p, the data shows that even the Low preset, which achieves 53 FPS, is preferable to the High preset (33 FPS) or Medium preset (41 FPS). However, the 1080p Medium setting is superior to 1440p Low in terms of both frame rate and visual fidelity. At 4K, all presets are effectively unplayable, with the highest average being 29 FPS on Low. The recommendation is to stay at 1080p. If a higher resolution is strictly required, the user must accept the Low preset at 1440p and a sub-60 FPS experience, which is not ideal for a multiplayer shooter.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 7 5700G is a powerful processor that is being held back by its GPU companion. With 8 cores and 16 threads based on the Zen 3 architecture, it is a highly capable multi-threaded part. Its boost clock of 4.60 GHz and 16 MB of L3 cache provide solid single-threaded performance, which is often critical for game logic and physics. The CPU’s average benchmark score of 27051 places it in the 79th percentile of all CPUs, and its nearest rivals include the Intel Core i9-9900K (deltaPct -0.2) and the Intel Core i5-14400T (deltaPct -0.4).

In Fivem, a multiplayer mod that can be CPU-intensive in populated areas, the 5700G provides a strong foundation. Its 16 threads ensure that background tasks and game server communication do not cause stuttering. The data shows that even at 1080p Low, the CPU is not the limiting factor, as the frame rate is capped by the GPU's ability to render frames. The CPU's headroom is evident in the fact that the 1080p Low average of 80 FPS is likely a GPU limit, not a CPU one. A more powerful GPU would allow this processor to push much higher frame rates.

The 5700G’s integrated Radeon Vega 8 graphics are irrelevant here, as the system is using the separate Intel Arc B370. The CPU's memory bandwidth of 51.2 GB/s, while standard for DDR4, is also a potential constraint for the GPU, which relies on the same system memory. However, this is a secondary concern compared to the GPU's raw compute limits. Ultimately, the CPU is a high-performing component that is vastly underutilized in this configuration. The benchmark results indicate that the Ryzen 7 5700G is capable of supporting a much faster discrete GPU, and its pairing with the Arc B370 creates a system whose overall performance is defined by its weakest link.
