Fivem

The AMD Ryzen 9 7900X paired with the Intel Arc B390 ranks 3294th out of 3707 tested combinations in Fivem, placing it in the lower 11th percentile of all tested systems. This ranking is heavily influenced by the GPU, which sits in the 9th percentile against all GPUs, while the processor itself is in the 91st percentile against all CPUs. The data shows a system where a top-tier 12-core processor is paired with an integrated-class graphics solution, resulting in frame rates that struggle to reach playable levels at higher resolutions. The measured FPS figures reveal that the combination produces a maximum average of 88 FPS only at 1080p with Low settings, while dropping to 16 FPS at 4K Ultra.

How This Combo Ranks

The combo’s rank of 3294 out of 3707 means that roughly 89% of all tested CPU-GPU pairings deliver higher average frame rates in Fivem. This places the system in the bottom decile of performance, which aligns with the GPU’s individual standing. The Intel Arc B390 scores 1482 in the 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 benchmark, a figure that puts it just 1.3% ahead of the NVIDIA GeForce GT 520MX and 2.7% ahead of the GeForce GT 710. This explains why the combo ranks so low despite the CPU’s strength. The Ryzen 9 7900X, by contrast, has an average benchmark score of 53288, which is 0.2% above the AMD EPYC 7313P and 0.6% above the Intel Xeon 634. The processor’s nearest rivals in the benchmark database are all server or high-end desktop parts, yet the measured FPS in Fivem does not reflect this capability because the GPU becomes the definitive bottleneck at every resolution tested.

The discrepancy between component percentiles is stark: the CPU ranks in the 91st percentile while the GPU ranks in the 9th. This imbalance means that the combo’s overall rank is essentially determined by the weakest link. At 1080p Low, the system achieves 88 FPS, which is the only measured result above 60 FPS. Every other configuration falls below that threshold, with 4K Ultra producing just 16 FPS. The data indicates that this pairing is not well-suited for Fivem at higher settings, as the GPU’s performance ceiling is reached well before the CPU’s potential is utilized. The rank reflects a system that is fundamentally limited by its graphics solution, despite being built around a processor that is competitive with the best available in the database.

A: No. At 3840x2160, the average FPS ranges from 16 at Ultra settings to 32 at Low settings. The Medium setting produces 25 FPS with a minimum of 22 and a maximum of 29, which is still below typical playability thresholds.

Q: What are the measured FPS figures at 1440p Medium?

A: At 2560x1440 with Medium settings, the combo achieves an average of 46 FPS, with a minimum of 39 FPS and a maximum of 53 FPS. This is the highest average at 1440p outside of the Low preset.

Resolution Scaling

The measured FPS data shows a steep decline as resolution increases, which is characteristic of a system where the GPU is the performance ceiling. Moving from 1920x1080 to 2560x1440 at Low settings reduces the average FPS from 88 to 58, a drop of 30 FPS or roughly 34%. The same resolution step at High settings reduces FPS from 56 to 37, a 19 FPS drop. Scaling further from 1440p to 4K at Low settings brings the average down from 58 to 32 FPS, a 26 FPS reduction. At High settings, the 1440p to 4K transition drops average FPS from 37 to 20, a 17 FPS decrease.

This pattern indicates that the rendering pipeline becomes progressively more strained as pixel count increases, with the GPU’s limited processing power being the primary constraint. The CPU, with its 12 cores and 24 threads, has ample headroom even at lower resolutions, as evidenced by the relatively higher FPS at 1080p. The scaling behavior suggests that the Arc B390’s 7.680 TFLOPS of FP32 performance and 60.00 GPixel/s pixel rate are simply insufficient for high-resolution rendering in Fivem. The drop from 1080p Low to 4K Low represents a 56 FPS difference, which is a 64% reduction in average frame rate. This is a much larger proportional drop than what would be expected if the CPU were the limiting factor, confirming that the GPU is the bottleneck.

At Medium settings, the resolution scaling is more moderate in absolute terms but still significant. From 1080p Medium (70 FPS) to 1440p Medium (46 FPS) to 4K Medium (25 FPS), the average FPS falls by 24 and then 21 FPS respectively. The minimum FPS figures follow a similar trend, with 59 FPS at 1080p, 39 FPS at 1440p, and 22 FPS at 4K. The data shows that the combo can manage playable frame rates only at 1080p, and even then only at Low settings. At higher resolutions, the GPU’s memory bandwidth, listed as "System Dependent," becomes a further limiting factor, as the integrated graphics solution relies on shared system memory rather than dedicated VRAM.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the combo delivers its best performance. Low settings produce an average of 88 FPS, while Medium settings yield 70 FPS with a minimum of 59 and a maximum of 80. High settings reduce the average to 56 FPS, and Ultra settings drop it to 43 FPS. This resolution is the only one where the system approaches or exceeds 60 FPS, and only at the Low preset. The data shows a clear gradient from 88 FPS down to 43 FPS as settings increase, indicating that the GPU struggles with higher graphical loads even at 1080p.

At 2560x1440, the performance falls off considerably. Low settings produce an average of 58 FPS, which is the only 1440p result above 50 FPS. Medium settings drop to 46 FPS with a minimum of 39 and a maximum of 53. High settings yield 37 FPS, and Ultra settings fall to 29 FPS. The difference between Low and Ultra at this resolution is 29 FPS, showing that the GPU’s limited resources are heavily impacted by settings changes.

At 3840x2160, the system is severely constrained. Low settings produce just 32 FPS, Medium settings yield 25 FPS with a minimum of 22 and a maximum of 29, High settings drop to 20 FPS, and Ultra settings bottom out at 16 FPS. None of these figures approach playable levels, and the spread between Low and Ultra is only 16 FPS, suggesting that the GPU is so overwhelmed that even reducing settings provides minimal relief. The minimum FPS at 4K Medium is 22 FPS, which is below the average of the 1440p Ultra result, indicating a hard performance wall at higher pixel counts.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 9 7900X is a 12-core, 24-thread processor based on the Zen 4 architecture, built on a 5 nm process by TSMC. It has a base clock of 4.70 GHz and a boost clock of 5.60 GHz, with a 64 MB shared L3 cache. In synthetic benchmarks, it scores 29300 in Cinebench R23 multi-core and 2016.5 in single-core, along with 19267 in Geekbench multi-core and 2617 in single-core. These figures place it in the 91st percentile against all CPUs, with an average benchmark score of 53288. The CPU’s nearest rivals include the AMD EPYC 7313P (53206, 0.2% lower), the Intel Xeon Phi 7290 (53469, 0.3% higher), and the Intel Core i7-14700F (53620, 0.6% higher).

In the context of Fivem, the CPU’s high multi-threaded performance is not the primary factor in the measured FPS. The game’s frame rates are dominated by the GPU, as evidenced by the sharp drop in FPS when resolution increases. However, the CPU’s single-thread performance, which is 1093 in 3DMark single-thread and 4238 in PassMark single-thread, suggests that it can handle the game’s logic and physics calculations without becoming a bottleneck. The 24 threads provide ample capacity for background tasks, and the 64 MB L3 cache helps with data locality. The data shows that at 1080p Low, the system achieves 88 FPS, which is likely near the CPU’s limit for this game, but at higher resolutions the GPU’s limitations take over. The CPU’s 170 W TDP and AM5 socket indicate a high-end desktop part, and its 83.2 GB/s memory bandwidth supports the system-shared GPU memory, though the GPU’s performance is still constrained.

Settings Recommendations

Based on the measured FPS data, the optimal experience is achieved at 1920x1080 with Low settings, which produces an average of 88 FPS. This is the only configuration that provides a comfortable margin above 60 FPS, making it the recommended choice for smooth gameplay. The Medium preset at 1080p yields 70 FPS, which is also playable, but the 18 FPS improvement from Medium to Low may be worth the visual trade-off for many users. At 1080p High, the average drops to 56 FPS, which is below the 60 FPS threshold, and Ultra falls to 43 FPS, making these settings less desirable.

At 2560x1440, the only setting that comes close to playable is Low, with 58 FPS. This is a marginal result, and Medium drops to 46 FPS. For users who prioritize resolution over settings, 1440p Low is the best option, but it requires accepting frame rates that may exhibit stutter in busy multiplayer scenes. At 4K, none of the settings are recommended, as even Low produces just 32 FPS, and Ultra falls to 16 FPS. The data suggests that the combo is best used at 1080p, with Low or Medium settings, to maintain frame rates above 60 FPS. The Medium preset at 1080p, with a minimum FPS of 59, is the highest-quality setting that stays close to the 60 FPS target, making it a strong alternative for users who prefer better visuals without sacrificing too much performance.

GPU Role

The Intel Arc B390 is an integrated graphics solution based on the Xe3-LPG architecture, built on a 3 nm process by Intel. It has 1536 shading units, 48 TMUs, and 24 ROPs, with 12 ray tracing cores. The GPU operates at a base clock of 300 MHz and a boost clock of 2500 MHz, with a pixel rate of 60.00 GPixel/s and a texture rate of 120.0 GTexel/s. It delivers 7.680 TFLOPS of FP32 performance and 15.36 TFLOPS of FP16 performance. The GPU’s memory is system-shared, meaning it uses the CPU’s DDR5 memory with bandwidth that is system dependent. The 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score is 1482, placing it in the 9th percentile against all GPUs.

The GPU’s nearest rivals are all older, low-end NVIDIA parts, with the GeForce GT 520MX scoring 1463 (1.3% lower), the GeForce 800M scoring 1460 (1.5% lower), the GeForce GT 625 OEM scoring 1446 (2.5% lower), and the GeForce GT 710 scoring 1443 (2.7% lower). This places the Arc B390 at the very bottom of the performance spectrum, which is consistent with the measured FPS in Fivem. The GPU’s 80 W TDP and IGP slot width indicate that it is not designed for high-performance gaming, and the lack of dedicated VRAM means it competes with the CPU for memory bandwidth. The data shows that the GPU is the definitive bottleneck in this combo, as its performance ceiling is reached even at 1080p Low, where the CPU is capable of delivering much higher frame rates if the GPU allowed it. The 24 ROPs and 48 TMUs are insufficient for high-resolution rendering, and the 7.680 TFLOPS of compute power is not enough to handle the demands of Fivem at higher settings.
