CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 7 9700F is an 8-core, 16-thread processor from the 9000 series, built on the Zen 5 architecture (Granite Ridge) using a 4 nm process. It operates with a base clock of 3.80 GHz and a boost clock of 5.50 GHz, which are the figures that define its raw computational throughput. The CPU has a 32 MB shared L3 cache and supports DDR5 memory with a dual-channel bus, providing a memory bandwidth of 89.6 GB/s. These specifications suggest a processor designed for high multithreaded performance, which is relevant for Fivem’s server-side and client-side simulation logic.

In the benchmark data, the 9700F demonstrates its strength. Its passmark_multithread score is 36470, while its passmark_single_thread score is 4691. The integer math score is 120788, and the floating point math score is 77955. These results indicate a processor that can handle complex calculations and multiple concurrent threads. The 9700F’s percentile vs all CPUs is 94, meaning it outperforms 94% of all processors in the database. Its nearest rival, the Intel Core i7-14700KF, is only 0.2% faster in average score, showing that the 9700F is competitive with high-end desktop chips from the previous generation.

For Fivem, this CPU power is crucial. The game’s multiplayer nature means many entities, scripts, and player interactions must be processed simultaneously. The 8 cores and 16 threads provide ample capacity for this workload. The high boost clock of 5.50 GHz ensures that single-threaded tasks, which are often the bottleneck in game logic, are executed quickly. The data suggests that the CPU is not the limiting factor in this combo’s Fivem performance. At 1080p Low, the system achieves 80 FPS, and at 1080p Medium, it reaches 63 FPS. These frame rates are likely constrained by the GPU, not the CPU, given that the 9700F’s benchmark scores are far above what would be needed to drive a game at these settings.

GPU Role

The Intel Arc B370 is a stark contrast to the CPU. Based on the Xe3-LPG architecture (Panther Lake chip) and manufactured on a 3 nm process, it is an integrated graphics processor (IGP) with a 25 W TDP. Its base clock is 300 MHz, and its boost clock is 2400 MHz. The GPU has 1280 shading units, 40 texture mapping units, and 20 ROPs. Memory is designated as "System Shared," meaning it uses a portion of the system’s DDR5 memory, with bandwidth listed as "System Dependent." This is a fundamental limitation, as the GPU must share memory bandwidth with the CPU.

The Arc B370’s performance is reflected in its 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 1184. This places it in the 5th percentile of all GPUs, meaning it is slower than 95% of graphics cards in the database. Its nearest rivals are older, low-end cards like the ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5570 (score 1186) and the ATI Radeon HD 5770 (score 1190). The deltaPct values are all within 1.4% of the Arc B370, indicating that its performance is essentially on par with these decade-old parts. The GPU’s pixel rate is 48.00 GPixel/s, and its texture rate is 96.00 GTexel/s, which are low figures that cap the amount of graphical data it can process.

In Fivem, the GPU’s limitations are immediately apparent. The measured FPS values show a clear pattern: as resolution and settings increase, frame rates plummet. At 1080p Low, the combo manages 80 FPS, but at 1080p Ultra, it drops to 39 FPS. At 4K (3840x2160), the situation is dire, with Low settings producing 29 FPS and Ultra producing just 14 FPS. The Arc B370’s 25 W TDP and system-shared memory are not sufficient for the demands of modern game rendering. The 1280 shading units are simply too few to handle the pixel and geometry workloads at higher resolutions. The data indicates that the GPU is the primary bottleneck in this combo, regardless of the CPU’s capabilities.

How This Combo Ranks

The combo rank of 2762 out of 3005 combos places this system in the 8th percentile of all tested configurations for Fivem. This is an exceptionally low ranking, driven almost entirely by the GPU. The CPU’s percentile of 94 shows that it is a high-end part, but the GPU’s percentile of 5 drags the overall combo performance down. The rank suggests that for Fivem, this pairing is not competitive with the vast majority of systems.

To put this in perspective, the CPU’s nearest rivals—the AMD Ryzen 9 7940HX, Intel Core i7-14700KF, AMD Ryzen 9 7950X, and Intel Core i7-14700K—are all desktop or high-end mobile processors with average scores between 69355 and 70163. When paired with a discrete GPU, these CPUs would likely achieve much higher combo ranks. The Arc B370, however, is an IGP with a score of 1184, which is a fraction of what a dedicated mid-range GPU would produce. The deltaPct between the Arc B370 and its nearest rivals (ATI Radeon HD 5770, etc.) is tiny, indicating that the GPU is operating at a performance level from over a decade ago.

The combo rank of 2762 means that 243 other tested combos are slower. These are likely systems with even older or more integrated components. However, the 9700F is a modern, high-performance CPU, which makes this low rank particularly notable. The data implies that the GPU is so weak that it negates the CPU’s advantages. For a game like Fivem, which can be CPU-intensive in busy multiplayer sessions, the 9700F provides headroom, but the Arc B370 cannot translate that into higher frame rates, especially at higher settings. The rank is a clear warning that this is a severely unbalanced configuration.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The measured FPS data provides a detailed look at how this combo performs across three resolutions and four settings presets.

At 1920x1080, the system achieves its best results. With Low settings, the average FPS is 80. This is the only configuration that provides a smooth, high-refresh experience. Medium settings drop the average to 63 FPS, with a minimum of 54 FPS and a maximum of 72 FPS, which is still playable but with more variance. High settings produce an average of 50 FPS, and Ultra settings fall to 39 FPS. The drop from Low to Ultra is 41 FPS, a 51% reduction, showing the GPU’s sensitivity to graphical fidelity.

At 2560x1440, performance degrades significantly. Low settings yield an average of 53 FPS, which is a 34% drop from the 1080p Low result. Medium settings average 41 FPS (min 35, max 48), High settings average 33 FPS, and Ultra settings average 26 FPS. No settings level at 1440p reaches 60 FPS, making this resolution unsuitable for smooth gameplay with this GPU.

At 3840x2160, the results are largely unplayable. Low settings produce an average of 29 FPS. Medium settings average 23 FPS (min 20, max 26), High settings average 18 FPS, and Ultra settings average 14 FPS. The 4K resolution is beyond the Arc B370’s capabilities, as even the lowest settings fail to maintain a consistent 30 FPS.

The data shows a consistent pattern: for every resolution, the difference between Low and Ultra settings is substantial. At 1080p, the gap is 41 FPS. At 1440p, the gap is 27 FPS. At 4K, the gap is 15 FPS. This indicates that the GPU is fully utilized at all settings, and reducing graphical quality is the only way to improve frame rates. The minimum FPS values, where available, also show that the system can experience stutters, particularly at Medium settings where the min FPS is often 15-20% lower than the average.

Settings Recommendations

Based on the measured FPS data, the optimal settings for this combo depend heavily on the user’s target resolution and frame rate preferences.

For 1920x1080, the Low settings preset is the clear recommendation. It achieves an average of 80 FPS, which is the only measured configuration that provides a frame rate high enough for smooth, responsive gameplay. The Medium preset, at 63 FPS, is also viable for users who want better visuals, but the minimum FPS of 54 suggests occasional dips below 60. High (50 FPS) and Ultra (39 FPS) are not recommended for a consistent experience, as they fall below the 60 FPS threshold.

For 2560x1440, the data suggests that Low settings (53 FPS) is the only acceptable option, and even then, it is below 60 FPS. Users who prefer 1440p will need to accept a compromise in smoothness. Medium (41 FPS) and High (33 FPS) are too low for action-heavy gameplay, and Ultra (26 FPS) is effectively unplayable.

For 3840x2160, no settings preset is recommended. The highest average FPS is 29 at Low settings, which is below the 30 FPS minimum for playability. All other presets produce averages below 30 FPS, with Ultra at 14 FPS, making the game feel like a slideshow.

The data implies that the best experience with this combo is at 1080p with Low settings. This configuration maximizes frame rate while minimizing the GPU’s workload. If a user prioritizes visual quality over frame rate, Medium at 1080p is the highest setting that remains above 60 FPS on average. However, the min FPS of 54 indicates that this is not a stable 60. For any resolution above 1080p, the user must accept frame rates below 60 FPS, and for 4K, the experience is fundamentally compromised.

Resolution Scaling

The resolution scaling data reveals the GPU-bound nature of this combo. Moving from 1920x1080 to 2560x1440, the average FPS at Low settings drops from 80 to 53, a 34% reduction. At Medium settings, the drop is from 63 to 41, a 35% reduction. At High settings, the drop is from 50 to 33, a 34% reduction. At Ultra settings, the drop is from 39 to 26, a 33% reduction. The consistency of this ~34% drop across all settings is a clear indicator that the GPU is the limiting factor, as the frame rate scales almost linearly with the increase in pixel count.

Moving from 2560x1440 to 3840x2160, the drops are even more severe. At Low settings, the average FPS falls from 53 to 29, a 45% reduction. At Medium settings, it falls from 41 to 23, a 44% reduction. At High settings, it falls from 33 to 18, a 45% reduction. At Ultra settings, it falls from 26 to 14, a 46% reduction. The larger percentage drop from 1440p to 4K compared to 1080p to 1440p suggests that the GPU is being pushed beyond its effective memory bandwidth and processing limits.

The data also shows that the CPU is not the bottleneck at higher resolutions. If the CPU were limiting, the frame rate would remain relatively flat as resolution increases, because the CPU would be fully occupied regardless of pixel count. Instead, the frame rates drop dramatically, confirming that the Arc B370’s system-shared memory and low shading unit count cannot handle the increased pixel throughput. The 4K results, in particular, show that the GPU is overwhelmed, with even Low settings failing to reach 30 FPS. The scaling behavior indicates that users should stay at 1080p to get the most out of this combo, as any increase in resolution results in disproportionate frame rate losses.
