Fivem

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

The AMD Ryzen 7 7700 brings eight physical cores and sixteen threads to this Fivem configuration, running on the Zen 4 Raphael architecture built at TSMC's 5 nm node. Base clock sits at 3.80 GHz with a boost ceiling of 5.30 GHz, and the chip carries a 65 W TDP. This is a desktop part on AMD Socket AM5 with dual-channel DDR5 memory support and a memory bandwidth of 83.2 GB/s. The L3 cache is 32 MB shared across all cores, with 1 MB L2 per core and 64 KB L1 per core.

Looking at synthetic benchmarks, the Ryzen 7 7700 posts a Cinebench R23 multicore score of 18760 and a single-core score of 1930. Geekbench results show 15371 multicore and 2525 single-core. The 3DMark threaded tests tell a clear story about scaling: 2043 for 2 threads, 3931 for 4 threads, 6933 for 8 threads, and 8484 for 16 threads. The jump from 8 to 16 threads is relatively modest (6933 to 8484, about 22% higher), which suggests diminishing returns beyond eight threads in this workload type. The max-thread score of 8479 is nearly identical to the 16-thread result, confirming that the CPU is fully utilized at that point.

Fivem is a multiplayer modification framework built on Grand Theft Auto V, and its performance characteristics often hinge on single-thread responsiveness and memory latency. The Ryzen 7 7700's single-thread score of 1049 in 3DMark and 1930 in Cinebench R23 indicate strong per-core capability, which matters for the game's simulation and physics threads. The Passmark single-thread score of 4063 reinforces this picture. With a percentile of 87 against all CPUs, this processor sits comfortably above most installed hardware.

The nearest rivals in aggregate benchmark score are tightly clustered. The AMD Ryzen AI 9 365 scores 40048, just 0.1% below the Ryzen 7 7700's 40081 average. The Intel Core 5 221E is 0.2% higher at 40144, while the AMD Ryzen 9 270 leads by 0.4% at 40246. The Intel Core i9-13905H is 0.6% ahead at 40313. These deltas are negligible in real-world terms, meaning the Ryzen 7 7700 is positioned in a very competitive band of CPU performance. For Fivem specifically, the data shows the CPU is not the primary constraint at lower resolutions, but its headroom becomes relevant as settings and resolution increase.

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

The measured FPS rows across four settings presets at each resolution provide a clear hierarchy. At 1080p, Low delivers 80 FPS average, Medium drops to 63 FPS, High reaches 50 FPS, and Ultra falls to 39 FPS. The step from Low to Medium is a 17 FPS loss (about 21% reduction), while Medium to High costs another 13 FPS (about 21%), and High to Ultra costs 11 FPS (22% reduction). This consistent proportional drop suggests each preset tier imposes a similar incremental load on the system.

At 1440p, the pattern repeats with lower absolute numbers: Low yields 53 FPS, Medium 41 FPS, High 33 FPS, and Ultra 26 FPS. The percentage deltas between presets are similar to 1080p, indicating the settings scaling is resolution-independent in relative terms. At 4K, Low produces 29 FPS, Medium 23 FPS, High 18 FPS, and Ultra 14 FPS.

For the best balance of visual quality and playability, Medium at 1080p appears to be the sweet spot. The 63 FPS average with a minimum of 54 FPS and maximum of 72 FPS shows a consistent frame delivery without severe dips. The minimum-to-maximum spread of 18 FPS is the tightest among all measured configurations, suggesting stable performance. At 1440p, Medium at 41 FPS (min 35, max 48) is the highest preset that maintains a playable average, though it falls below the 60 FPS threshold. Low at 1440p achieves 53 FPS, which is closer to smooth but sacrifices visual fidelity.

High and Ultra presets at any resolution above 1080p produce averages below 35 FPS, making them marginal for responsive gameplay. The data suggests that players prioritizing frame rate should stick with Low or Medium, while those wanting better visuals can consider High at 1080p (50 FPS) as a compromise. Ultra is only viable at 1080p with 39 FPS, and even then the experience may feel sluggish in a multiplayer context where quick reactions matter.

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

Examining the Low preset across resolutions reveals the scaling characteristics: 80 FPS at 1080p, 53 FPS at 1440p, and 29 FPS at 4K. The drop from 1080p to 1440p is 27 FPS (about 34% reduction), while 1440p to 4K costs another 24 FPS (about 45% reduction). These are substantial losses that suggest the GPU is becoming the bottleneck as pixel count rises. If the CPU were the limiting factor, resolution changes would have a smaller impact on frame rates.

The Medium preset tells a similar story: 63 FPS at 1080p, 41 FPS at 1440p (35% drop), and 23 FPS at 4K (44% drop from 1440p). High settings show 50 FPS at 1080p, 33 FPS at 1440p (34% drop), and 18 FPS at 4K (45% drop). Ultra follows with 39, 26, and 14 FPS respectively, with drops of 33% and 46%. The consistency of these percentage reductions across all presets strongly indicates a GPU-bound scenario at higher resolutions.

The Intel Arc B370 has a base clock of 300 MHz and boost up to 2400 MHz, with 1280 shading units, 40 TMUs, and 20 ROPs. Its pixel rate is 48.00 GPixel/s and texture rate is 96.00 GTexel/s. FP32 performance is 6.144 TFLOPS. These specifications suggest a modest GPU that struggles to maintain high frame rates as resolution increases. The 4K results, ranging from 14 to 29 FPS depending on settings, confirm that this configuration is not suitable for 4K gaming in Fivem.

At 1080p, the frame rates are more reasonable but still not high. The 80 FPS ceiling at Low settings indicates the GPU can handle 1080p reasonably well, but the CPU has ample headroom given its strong single-thread scores. The fact that 1080p Low achieves 80 FPS while 4K Low drops to 29 FPS points to the GPU as the primary limiter in this combo. The system memory being shared for GPU memory (marked as "System Shared" with "System Dependent" bandwidth) likely exacerbates the resolution scaling penalty.

# How This Combo Ranks — use comboRankInGame vs other tested combos

The combo of AMD Ryzen 7 7700 and Intel Arc B370 ranks 2762 out of 3005 tested combinations in Fivem. This places it in the bottom 8% of all recorded configs, which is a striking result given the CPU's strong benchmark position. The rank reflects the combined performance of both components, and the GPU's low percentile (5th among all GPUs) drags the overall standing down considerably.

The GPU's average benchmark score is 1184 based on a single 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 test. Its nearest rivals are all older or lower-end parts: ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5570 (1186, 0.2% higher), ATI Radeon HD 5770 (1190, 0.5% higher), AMD Radeon HD 7650M (1192, 0.7% higher), and AMD FirePro M2000 (1168, 1.4% lower). These are legacy GPUs from a different era, underscoring how underpowered the Arc B370 is relative to modern standards.

The CPU, by contrast, ranks in the 87th percentile among all CPUs with an average benchmark score of 40081. Its nearest rivals are all within 0.6% in either direction, showing it is a well-balanced mid-to-high-end processor. The disconnect between CPU capability and GPU capability is stark: the Ryzen 7 7700 is a top-tier processor paired with a bottom-tier GPU, and the combo rank of 2762/3005 reflects this imbalance.

For Fivem specifically, the multiplayer nature of the game means server-side performance and network latency also play roles, but the measured FPS data is purely client-side rendering. The combo's low rank suggests that players would experience significant frame rate limitations in most scenarios, particularly at higher resolutions or settings. The data shows that even the best-case 1080p Low result of 80 FPS is modest compared to what other combos achieve, and the 4K results are largely unplayable.

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

The Intel Arc B370 is an integrated GPU based on the Xe3-LPG architecture, manufactured on Intel's 3 nm process with the Panther Lake chip. It has no dedicated VRAM; instead, memory is system-shared with bandwidth that is system-dependent. This architecture choice has significant implications for gaming performance, as the GPU must contend with the CPU for memory bandwidth and latency.

Clock speeds are 300 MHz base and 2400 MHz boost, which is a wide range suggesting aggressive power management. The TDP is just 25 W, indicating this is designed for efficiency rather than raw performance. With 1280 shading units, 40 TMUs, and 20 ROPs, the compute capacity is limited. The FP32 throughput of 6.144 TFLOPS and FP16 of 12.29 TFLOPS (2:1 ratio) place this in entry-level territory.

In Fivem, the GPU's limitations manifest clearly across the measured FPS rows. At 1080p Low, the 80 FPS average is achievable, but this is the most favorable scenario. Moving to Medium at 1080p drops to 63 FPS, and High falls to 50 FPS. The Ultra preset at 1080p yields only 39 FPS. These results indicate that even at the lowest resolution, the GPU struggles to maintain high frame rates at higher quality settings.

The 4K results are particularly telling: 29 FPS at Low, 23 FPS at Medium, 18 FPS at High, and 14 FPS at Ultra. These are uniformly poor and suggest that the GPU is severely underpowered for 4K rendering. The pixel rate of 48.00 GPixel/s and texture rate of 96.00 GTexel/s are simply insufficient for the pixel workload at 3840x2160. The shared memory architecture likely compounds this issue, as the system memory bandwidth becomes a bottleneck.

The GPU's percentile ranking of 5 among all GPUs is consistent with its measured performance. Its nearest rivals are all over a decade old, which contextualizes its capability relative to the broader GPU market. For Fivem, which can be demanding due to multiplayer scenarios with many player models and vehicles, the Arc B370 will struggle to provide smooth frame rates in populated areas or at high settings.

• Ultra: 26 FPS average

At 1440p, Low produces 53 FPS, which is a 34% reduction from 1080p Low. Medium yields 41 FPS with a 35-48 FPS range, and the minimum is uncomfortably low for smooth gameplay. High and Ultra produce 33 and 26 FPS respectively, both below typical playability thresholds. The spread from Low to Ultra is 27 FPS.

3840x2160 (4K):

• Low: 29 FPS average
• Medium: 23 FPS average, 20 FPS minimum, 26 FPS maximum
• High: 18 FPS average
• Ultra: 14 FPS average

At 4K, all presets produce sub-30 FPS averages. Low achieves 29 FPS, which is marginal. Medium drops to 23 FPS with a 20-26 FPS range, and the minimum of 20 FPS would be noticeable as stuttering. High and Ultra are 18 and 14 FPS respectively, effectively unplayable for a multiplayer game requiring responsive input.

The Medium preset is the only one with recorded minimum and maximum values across all resolutions, making it the most thoroughly characterized. At 1080p Medium, the 54-72 FPS range represents a 25% variance from minimum to maximum. At 1440p Medium, the 35-48 FPS range is a 27% variance. At 4K Medium, the 20-26 FPS range is a 23% variance. These relatively consistent variance percentages suggest the frame pacing issues are proportional to the average frame rate.

A: The combo rank reflects the combination of a high-performing CPU (87th percentile) and a very low-performing GPU (5th percentile). The GPU's limited capabilities dominate the combined result, as Fivem's frame rates are primarily GPU-bound at higher resolutions and settings. The CPU's strong benchmark scores cannot compensate for the GPU's low rendering throughput.

Q: What is the best settings preset for stable frame delivery?

A: The Medium preset at 1080p shows the tightest minimum-to-maximum range among recorded data points: 54 to 72 FPS with a 63 FPS average. The 18 FPS spread indicates relatively consistent performance. At 1440p, Medium shows a 35 to 48 FPS range, and at 4K it shows 20 to 26 FPS. Medium provides the most stable frame delivery across all resolutions.

Q: How much does resolution affect performance beyond 1080p?

A: At Low settings, dropping from 1080p to 1440p reduces average FPS from 80 to 53 (a 34% reduction), and from 1440p to 4K reduces it from 53 to 29 (a 45% reduction). This scaling pattern indicates the GPU becomes increasingly the limiting factor as resolution rises, with the shared memory architecture likely contributing to the steep drops at higher pixel counts.
