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

The Intel Arc B390 is an integrated graphics solution (IGP) built on Intel's 3nm Xe3-LPG architecture with the Panther Lake chip. Its memory configuration is described as "System Shared" for both size and type, meaning it relies entirely on system RAM rather than dedicated VRAM. The memory bus is also "System Shared" with bandwidth listed as "System Dependent," which introduces a critical bottleneck for a game like Fivem that demands consistent memory throughput in dense multiplayer environments.

The GPU's clock speeds show a base of 300 MHz and a boost of 2500 MHz, but the memory clock is also "System Shared," reinforcing that performance hinges on the host system's memory subsystem. With 1536 shading units, 48 texture mapping units, and 24 render output units, the B390 has a modest compute foundation. Its pixel rate of 60.00 GPixel/s and texture rate of 120.0 GTexel/s translate to a theoretical FP32 performance of 7.680 TFLOPS, yet the measured FPS data reveals that real-world gaming performance falls far short of what those numbers might suggest.

The GPU's 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 1482 places it in the 9th percentile of all GPUs, and its nearest rivals are all NVIDIA entry-level parts from the GT 520MX (1463) to the GT 710 (1443). In Fivem, the impact of this limited GPU capability is stark: at 1080p High settings, the combo only manages 56 FPS average, and at 4K Ultra it drops to 16 FPS average. The gap between Low and Ultra settings at each resolution shows how quickly the GPU becomes overwhelmed as graphical load increases.

The RT cores (12) and support for DirectX 12 Ultimate (12_2), OpenGL 4.6, and Vulkan 1.4 indicate modern API compatibility, but this does not translate into playable performance at higher presets. The B390's integrated nature, combined with system-shared memory, means that Fivem's draw calls and texture streaming compete directly with the OS and other applications for bandwidth. This creates a scenario where even the CPU's substantial 96 MB of L3 cache cannot compensate for the GPU's memory limitations.

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

The AMD Ryzen 7 5800X3D is a desktop processor from the 5000 series, built on TSMC's 7nm process with the Zen 3 architecture (codename Vermeer). It features 8 cores and 16 threads, with a base clock of 3.40 GHz and a boost clock of 4.50 GHz. The CPU's defining characteristic is its 96 MB of shared L3 cache, a feature that typically benefits gaming workloads by reducing memory latency. Its TDP is rated at 105 W, and it supports DDR4 memory with dual-channel configuration and a bandwidth of 51.2 GB/s.

Benchmark data shows the 5800X3D performing strongly in CPU-centric tests: Cinebench R23 multicore score of 14317, single-core of 1452, Geekbench multicore of 11765, and single-core of 2017. The 3DMark tests reveal scaling from 884 (single-thread) to 7299 (16-threads), indicating good multithreading efficiency. Passmark tests show high integer math scores (88608) and floating-point math (50100), which are relevant for Fivem's physics and game logic simulations in multiplayer scenarios.

The CPU's percentile ranking of 80th among all CPUs, with an average benchmark score of 27896, places it well above the GPU's 9th percentile. This stark contrast suggests the processor is far more capable than the graphics solution paired with it. In Fivem, which is known for CPU-intensive server-side scripting and entity management, the 5800X3D's large cache and strong single-thread performance should theoretically provide a solid foundation.

However, the measured FPS data tells a different story. At 1080p Low settings, the combo achieves 88 FPS average, which suggests the CPU can handle the game's logic at lower graphical loads. But at 1080p Ultra, the average drops to 43 FPS, indicating that the GPU becomes the limiting factor as resolution and graphical fidelity increase. The CPU's nearest rivals — the Ryzen 7 6800U (delta 0%), i9-10900K (delta 0.1%), and i5-12600KF (delta 0.3%) — all show similar average benchmark scores, confirming that the 5800X3D is not the bottleneck in this pairing.

How This Combo Ranks

The combo's rank of 2656 out of 3005 tested combinations places it in the bottom 11.6% of all systems tested in Fivem. This ranking reflects the severe performance limitations imposed by the Intel Arc B390 GPU, which at the 9th GPU percentile drags down an otherwise capable CPU that sits at the 80th CPU percentile.

This disparity between CPU and GPU capability creates a fundamentally unbalanced system. The 5800X3D's benchmark scores — such as 14317 in Cinebench R23 multicore and 11765 in Geekbench multicore — indicate a processor that can handle demanding workloads, yet the measured FPS in Fivem rarely exceeds 88 FPS even at the lowest settings. The rank of 2656 suggests that most other tested combos, including those with weaker CPUs but stronger GPUs, achieve better real-world performance in this game.

The data implies that the GPU is the primary constraint. When comparing the combo's performance at 1080p Low (88 FPS) to 1080p Ultra (43 FPS), the drop of 45 FPS illustrates how quickly the B390's compute resources are exhausted. The GPU's nearest rivals — all GT-series NVIDIA parts from a decade ago — reinforce that this integrated solution is not designed for modern gaming workloads like Fivem. The combo rank reflects this reality, placing the system among the lowest-performing configurations in the database.

Settings Recommendations

Based on the measured FPS data, the optimal settings depend heavily on the target resolution and desired frame rate. At 1920x1080, the Low preset delivers 88 FPS average, which is the only configuration that approaches high-refresh-rate playability. The Medium preset at 1080p yields 70 FPS average (with a minimum of 59 FPS), which remains playable for most users. The High preset at 1080p drops to 56 FPS, and Ultra falls to 43 FPS.

For 2560x1440, the Low preset provides 58 FPS average, which is borderline acceptable for casual play but below the 60 FPS threshold that many consider smooth. The Medium preset at 1440p averages 46 FPS (minimum 39, maximum 53), which is playable but with noticeable stutter in demanding scenes. High at 1440p drops to 37 FPS, and Ultra to 29 FPS, both of which are below smooth-play thresholds.

At 3840x2160, all settings fail to reach playable frame rates. Low averages 32 FPS, Medium 25 FPS (minimum 22, maximum 29), High 20 FPS, and Ultra 16 FPS. Given that the minimum FPS at 1080p Medium is 59 FPS, this preset offers the best balance of visual quality and performance for most users. The data suggests that 1080p Medium is the recommended configuration, as it maintains an average above 60 FPS while providing better graphical fidelity than Low.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the measured results show a clear progression: Low averages 88 FPS, Medium averages 70 FPS (with a minimum of 59 and maximum of 80), High averages 56 FPS, and Ultra averages 43 FPS. The gap between Low and Ultra is 45 FPS, representing a 51% reduction in average frame rate when maximizing settings.

At 2560x1440, the averages are: Low at 58 FPS, Medium at 46 FPS (minimum 39, maximum 53), High at 37 FPS, and Ultra at 29 FPS. The drop from 1080p to 1440p is consistent across settings: 30 FPS at Low, 24 FPS at Medium, 19 FPS at High, and 14 FPS at Ultra.

At 3840x2160, the results are: Low at 32 FPS, Medium at 25 FPS (minimum 22, maximum 29), High at 20 FPS, and Ultra at 16 FPS. The 4K resolution pushes the GPU to its absolute limits, with even Low settings failing to reach 33 FPS. The minimum FPS data available (at Medium settings) shows 22 FPS at 4K, 39 FPS at 1440p, and 59 FPS at 1080p, indicating that frame pacing degrades progressively at higher resolutions.

Resolution Scaling

The FPS drops from 1080p to 4K reveal the GPU-bound nature of this combo. At Low settings, the transition from 1080p (88 FPS) to 1440p (58 FPS) represents a 34% reduction, and from 1080p to 4K (32 FPS) a 64% reduction. At High settings, 1080p (56 FPS) to 1440p (37 FPS) is a 34% drop, and to 4K (20 FPS) a 64% drop. The consistent percentage reductions across settings indicate that the GPU is the limiting component, as its rendering capabilities scale linearly with pixel count.

The CPU's strong benchmark results — particularly the 96 MB L3 cache and 16 threads — are not reflected in improved frame rates at higher resolutions. This suggests that Fivem's graphical workload at 1440p and 4K overwhelms the B390's 1536 shading units and system-shared memory bandwidth. The fact that the FPS drops by roughly the same percentage at every setting level confirms that resolution scaling is purely a GPU function in this configuration.

Notably, the 1080p Low result of 88 FPS is significantly higher than the 1440p Low result of 58 FPS, despite the same settings. This 30 FPS difference underscores that even at the lowest graphical preset, the GPU cannot maintain performance as pixel count increases. The data implies that users seeking playable frame rates above 60 FPS must remain at 1080p with Low or Medium settings, as the GPU's integrated nature and system-shared memory create a hard ceiling that the CPU's substantial processing power cannot overcome.
