Fivem

The AMD Ryzen 7 5800X3D paired with the Intel Arc B370 produces a highly constrained gaming experience in Fivem, with the data showing a clear pattern where the GPU becomes the dominant limiting factor at higher resolutions, while the CPU’s strong multi-threaded capabilities remain largely underutilized due to the graphics bottleneck. This combination ranks 2762 out of 3005 tested combos in Fivem, placing it in the lower percentile of system pairings, which aligns with the Arc B370’s own 5th percentile ranking among all GPUs, suggesting that users will need to make significant compromises in settings and resolution to achieve playable frame rates.

Resolution Scaling

The measured FPS data reveals a steep and consistent decline as resolution increases from 1920x1080 to 3840x2160, indicating that the Intel Arc B370 is the primary bottleneck in this system. At 1920x1080 with Low settings, the combo achieves 80 FPS, which drops to 53 FPS at 2560x1440 and further to 29 FPS at 3840x2160—a reduction of 33.75% from 1080p to 1440p, and another 45.28% from 1440p to 4K. This scaling pattern is characteristic of a GPU that is severely limited by its memory bandwidth and compute resources, as the rendering load increases quadratically with pixel count.

Moving to Medium settings, the same resolution progression shows 63 FPS at 1080p, 41 FPS at 1440p, and 23 FPS at 4K, with the 4K result including a minimum of 20 FPS and maximum of 26 FPS. The drop from 1080p to 1440p is 34.92%, while the drop from 1440p to 4K is 43.90%, showing that the percentage loss remains relatively stable across different presets. This consistency suggests that the scaling is driven by pixel throughput rather than any specific rendering feature, as the relative performance penalty does not change dramatically with settings.

At High settings, the pattern continues with 50 FPS at 1080p, 33 FPS at 1440p, and 18 FPS at 4K, representing decreases of 34% and 45.45% respectively. The Ultra preset shows the most severe degradation, with 39 FPS at 1080p dropping to 26 FPS at 1440p and 14 FPS at 4K—a 33.33% reduction followed by a 46.15% reduction. The fact that the percentage drops are so similar across all four presets indicates that the limiting factor is not the complexity of the rendering pipeline but rather the raw pixel fill rate and memory bandwidth of the Arc B370.

The data implies that at 1080p, the CPU still has some headroom to push higher frame rates, as the 80 FPS Low result is far below what the Ryzen 7 5800X3D is capable of delivering based on its benchmark scores. However, as resolution increases, the GPU quickly becomes saturated, and the system’s performance collapses to sub-30 FPS territory at 4K across all settings. Users targeting 4K gaming with this combo would need to accept that even Low settings only yield 29 FPS, which is below the threshold for smooth gameplay in most genres.

Settings Recommendations

Examining the measured rows, the optimal experience for this combo depends heavily on the target resolution, but the data suggests that Low settings at 1080p provide the best balance of playability and visual quality. At 1920x1080, Low settings produce 80 FPS, which is the highest frame rate recorded in the entire dataset and offers a comfortable margin above the 60 FPS threshold for smooth gameplay. Medium settings at the same resolution yield 63 FPS with a minimum of 54 FPS and maximum of 72 FPS, which also remains playable, though the tighter frame pacing might lead to occasional stutters in busy multiplayer scenarios.

For users who prioritize visual fidelity, High settings at 1080p achieve 50 FPS, which is still within a reasonable range for Fivem’s gameplay, though it represents a 37.5% performance penalty compared to Low. The Ultra preset at 1080p drops to 39 FPS, which starts to feel sluggish for a multiplayer title where quick reactions matter. The data indicates that Medium settings at 1080p offer the best compromise, delivering 63 FPS with a minimum above 50 FPS, which should provide a stable experience without the visual degradation of Low.

At 2560x1440, the situation becomes more challenging. Low settings produce 53 FPS, which is acceptable for casual play, but Medium drops to 41 FPS with a minimum of 35 FPS, suggesting occasional dips below smooth thresholds. High settings at 1440p yield 33 FPS, and Ultra falls to 26 FPS, both of which are marginal at best. Users at this resolution should stick to Low settings to maintain frame rates above 50 FPS, accepting reduced visual quality as a necessary trade-off.

At 3840x2160, the data shows that no preset achieves a playable frame rate. Low settings produce 29 FPS, Medium yields 23 FPS, High drops to 18 FPS, and Ultra bottoms out at 14 FPS. These numbers are all well below the 30 FPS minimum for acceptable gameplay, indicating that 4K is not a viable resolution for this combination in Fivem. The only recommendation for 4K users would be to reduce resolution scaling or consider a different GPU, as the Arc B370 simply lacks the necessary performance headroom.

FAQ

How This Combo Ranks

The combination of the AMD Ryzen 7 5800X3D and Intel Arc B370 ranks 2762 out of 3005 tested combos in Fivem, placing it in the bottom 8.1% of all systems tested. This ranking is heavily influenced by the GPU’s weak performance, as the Arc B370’s 5th percentile ranking among all GPUs indicates that it is one of the least capable graphics processors in the database. The CPU, by contrast, ranks in the 80th percentile among all CPUs, suggesting that a more balanced pairing would yield substantially better results.

The disparity between the CPU and GPU performance is striking. The Ryzen 7 5800X3D’s average benchmark score of 27896 places it within 0.1% of the Intel Core i9-10900K (27872) and 0.3% of the Intel Core i5-12600KF (27799), while also exceeding the AMD Ryzen 7 6800U (27887) by 0% and trailing the AMD Ryzen AI 5 PRO 340 (27932) by 0.1%. These scores indicate a high-end desktop processor that should be capable of driving much higher frame rates, yet the Arc B370’s 1184 3DMark Steel Nomad score (within 1.4% of the AMD FirePro M2000) holds the entire system back.

The combo’s rank in Fivem specifically reflects the game’s sensitivity to GPU performance, as Fivem is a multiplayer title that relies heavily on rendering many dynamic objects and player models. The data suggests that even with the CPU’s strong single-threaded performance (1452 in Cinebench R23 single-core, 2017 in Geekbench single-core), the system cannot overcome the GPU’s limitations. Users looking to improve their ranking would need to prioritize GPU upgrades over CPU upgrades, as the current bottleneck is clearly on the graphics side.

GPU Role

The Intel Arc B370’s specifications reveal a GPU designed for low-power integrated graphics scenarios, with a 25 W TDP and system-shared memory that makes its performance highly dependent on the host system’s RAM and memory bandwidth. The GPU’s base clock is 300 MHz with a boost clock of 2400 MHz, and it features 1280 shading units, 40 texture mapping units, 20 raster output units, and 10 ray tracing cores. Its theoretical peak performance is 6.144 TFLOPS for FP32 and 12.29 TFLOPS for FP16 (2:1 ratio), with pixel rate of 48.00 GPixel/s and texture rate of 96.00 GTexel/s.

The system-shared memory configuration is particularly problematic for Fivem, as the game’s large open world and many concurrent player interactions require substantial memory bandwidth. The GPU’s memory bandwidth is listed as “System Dependent,” meaning it relies on the CPU’s DDR4 memory bus, which for the Ryzen 7 5800X3D provides 51.2 GB/s of bandwidth. This is significantly lower than what dedicated GPUs offer, and it explains why the FPS drops so sharply at higher resolutions where memory bandwidth demands increase.

The 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 benchmark score of 1184 places the Arc B370 in the 5th percentile of all GPUs, with its nearest rivals being the ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5570 (1186, 0.2% faster), ATI Radeon HD 5770 (1190, 0.5% faster), and AMD Radeon HD 7650M (1192, 0.7% faster), while the AMD FirePro M2000 (1168) is 1.4% slower. This performance level is consistent with the FPS measurements, which show the GPU struggling to maintain even 30 FPS at 1440p with High settings.

The GPU’s small number of ROPs (20) and TMUs (40) directly limits its fill rate capabilities, which is evident in the resolution scaling pattern. At 1080p, the GPU can still produce 80 FPS at Low settings, but doubling the pixel count to 4K reduces this to 29 FPS, a 63.75% drop that reflects the GPU’s inability to scale with resolution. The 10 RT cores are irrelevant for Fivem, as the game does not use ray tracing, but they still consume die area that could have been used for more traditional shading resources.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the measured FPS values show a clear progression across settings. Low settings produce an average of 80 FPS, which is the highest frame rate in the dataset. Medium settings yield 63 FPS with a minimum of 54 FPS and maximum of 72 FPS, providing a solid gameplay experience with some headroom for dips. High settings drop to 50 FPS, which is playable but leaves less margin for demanding scenes. Ultra settings fall to 39 FPS, which is noticeably less smooth and may cause issues in fast-paced multiplayer encounters.

At 2560x1440, performance decreases significantly. Low settings average 53 FPS, which remains playable but is noticeably lower than the 1080p result. Medium settings produce 41 FPS with a minimum of 35 FPS and maximum of 48 FPS, indicating that frame pacing may be inconsistent. High settings drop to 33 FPS, which is borderline for smooth gameplay. Ultra settings yield 26 FPS, which is below the 30 FPS threshold and will likely feel stuttery.

At 3840x2160, the GPU is overwhelmed. Low settings average 29 FPS, which is just below playable. Medium settings produce 23 FPS with a minimum of 20 FPS and maximum of 26 FPS, showing tight but low frame pacing. High settings drop to 18 FPS, and Ultra settings bottom out at 14 FPS. None of these configurations are recommended for actual gameplay, as they all fall below minimum playable thresholds.

The complete measured data set includes 12 configuration points, with only one (1080p Low) exceeding 60 FPS and only two (1080p Low and Medium) exceeding 50 FPS. The data shows that the Arc B370’s performance ceiling in Fivem is 80 FPS, achieved only at the lowest settings and resolution, and that performance degrades rapidly as either resolution or settings increase.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 7 5800X3D is a high-end desktop processor from the 5000 series, featuring 8 cores and 16 threads based on the Zen 3 architecture (Vermeer codename). Its base clock is 3.40 GHz with a boost clock of 4.50 GHz, and it has a TDP of 105 W. The CPU uses the AMD Socket AM4 interface and supports DDR4 memory with dual-channel configuration, providing 51.2 GB/s of memory bandwidth. Its cache hierarchy includes 64 KB of L1 per core, 512 KB of L2 per core, and a substantial 96 MB of shared L3 cache, which is particularly beneficial for gaming workloads that benefit from large cache pools.

The CPU’s benchmark performance is strong, with a Cinebench R23 multicore score of 14317 and single-core score of 1452, Geekbench multicore of 11765 and single-core of 2017, and 3DMark scores of 7299 for 16 threads, 1746 for 2 threads, 3392 for 4 threads, 5906 for 8 threads, 7285 for max threads, and 884 for single thread. Its average benchmark score of 27896 places it in the 80th percentile of all CPUs, with nearest rivals including the AMD Ryzen 7 6800U (27887, 0% difference), Intel Core i9-10900K (27872, 0.1% faster), AMD Ryzen AI 5 PRO 340 (27932, 0.1% slower), and Intel Core i5-12600KF (27799, 0.3% faster).

In Fivem, the CPU’s role is to handle game logic, physics, and the many AI-controlled entities that populate the multiplayer world. The Ryzen 7 5800X3D’s large L3 cache (96 MB) is particularly well-suited for this type of workload, as it reduces memory latency when accessing frequently used data. However, the measured FPS data suggests that the CPU is not the limiting factor in this combo, as the frame rates are consistently low even at 1080p where CPU bottlenecks typically manifest first.

The CPU’s 16 threads provide ample parallel processing capability, and its single-thread performance (1452 in Cinebench R23) is sufficient for Fivem’s main game thread. The data implies that the GPU is the sole constraint, as the CPU’s performance headroom is never fully utilized—even at 20 FPS in 4K Medium, the CPU is likely idling at a fraction of its capacity. This is a classic case of an unbalanced system where a high-end CPU is paired with a low-end GPU, resulting in wasted potential that could be unlocked by upgrading the graphics card.
