# Fivem with Intel Core i5-13400F + Intel Arc B370 — Measured Performance Analysis

The Intel Core i5-13400F paired with the Intel Arc B370 delivers a measured performance profile in Fivem that is heavily constrained by the graphics subsystem. Across all tested resolutions and settings, average frame rates range from a low of 14 FPS at 4K Ultra to a peak of 80 FPS at 1080p Low, with the combination ranking 2762nd out of 3005 tested combos in this game. The data reveals a system where the CPU has ample headroom, but the GPU's integrated-class design becomes the definitive bottleneck at higher resolutions and quality presets.

Resolution Scaling

The measured FPS values show a steep and consistent decline as resolution increases, which strongly indicates that the Intel Arc B370 is the limiting component in this configuration. At High settings, the average frame rate drops from 50 FPS at 1920x1080 to 33 FPS at 2560x1440, a reduction of 17 FPS, and then further down to 18 FPS at 3840x2160 — representing a 64% loss from 1080p to 4K. This scaling pattern is typical of a GPU that is saturated by pixel throughput demands, rather than a CPU-bound scenario where resolution changes would have a minimal impact on frame rates.

The Low preset tells a similar story, with 80 FPS at 1080p falling to 53 FPS at 1440p and then to 29 FPS at 4K. The relative drop from 1440p to 4K at Low settings is 24 FPS, which is a larger absolute decline than the 17 FPS drop observed between 1080p and 1440p. This suggests that the GPU's rendering capabilities degrade disproportionately as pixel count increases, even when the graphical workload is reduced. The Medium preset data, which includes min and max FPS values, shows a 22 FPS average difference between 1080p (63 FPS) and 1440p (41 FPS), and another 18 FPS drop to 4K (23 FPS). The Ultra preset, meanwhile, yields only 39 FPS at 1080p, 26 FPS at 1440p, and 14 FPS at 4K — the latter being nearly unplayable.

The fact that the gap between Low and Ultra settings widens at higher resolutions is revealing. At 1080p, the spread between Low (80 FPS) and Ultra (39 FPS) is 41 FPS, while at 4K the spread narrows to 15 FPS (29 FPS vs 14 FPS). This convergence at 4K indicates that the GPU is hitting a hard performance ceiling regardless of settings, as the pixel fill rate and shading capacity of the Arc B370 are exhausted. The data implies that Fivem's rendering engine, when paired with this GPU, becomes almost entirely pixel-bound at 2160p, leaving little room for quality adjustments to recover frame rate.

CPU Role

The Intel Core i5-13400F is a 10-core, 16-thread processor based on the Raptor Lake architecture, manufactured on Intel's 10 nm process. Its base clock of 2.50 GHz and boost clock of 4.60 GHz provide the computational foundation for this combo. In synthetic benchmarks, the CPU achieves a Cinebench R23 multicore score of 22604 and a single-core score of 3191, along with a Geekbench multicore score of 11068 and single-core score of 1996. These figures place the processor at the 77th percentile among all CPUs, with an average benchmark score of 25292.

The nearest rivals in CPU performance are closely matched, with the AMD Ryzen 9 6900HS scoring 25284 (0% delta), the Intel Core 5 120 scoring 25362 (-0.3%), the AMD Ryzen 5 5600X3D scoring 25365 (-0.3%), and the AMD Ryzen 7 6800H scoring 25201 (+0.4%). This tight clustering suggests that the i5-13400F's compute capabilities are well within the expected range for modern mid-range processors. However, in the context of Fivem's measured FPS, the CPU's role appears secondary, as the frame rates are consistently low across all settings, even at 1080p where CPU overhead typically matters most.

The fact that the CPU percentile is 77 while the GPU percentile is only 5 creates a massive imbalance in this pairing. The 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score for the Arc B370 is 1184, placing it in the 5th percentile among all GPUs. This disparity means that the i5-13400F is likely never the bottleneck in Fivem, as the GPU's rendering limits dominate the performance envelope. The CPU's 16 threads and 20 MB of shared L3 cache are more than sufficient for a multiplayer game like Fivem, which typically relies on a few heavily utilized threads rather than massive parallel scaling. The benchmark results indicate that the CPU is capable of far higher frame rates than the GPU can deliver, as evidenced by the 80 FPS ceiling at 1080p Low — a figure that is still modest for a modern processor.

GPU Role

The Intel Arc B370 is an integrated graphics processor based on the Xe3-LPG architecture, built on a 3 nm process. It features 1280 shading units, 40 texture mapping units, and 20 raster output units, along with 10 ray tracing cores. The GPU operates at a base clock of 300 MHz and a boost clock of 2400 MHz, with system-shared memory that has system-dependent bandwidth. Its compute capabilities are rated at 6.144 TFLOPS for FP32 and 12.29 TFLOPS for FP16 (2:1 ratio). The pixel rate is 48.00 GPixel/s and the texture rate is 96.00 GTexel/s.

The 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 benchmark score of 1184 places this GPU in the 5th percentile of all GPUs, with an average benchmark score of 1184. The nearest rivals are all older or lower-end parts: the ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5570 scores 1186 (-0.2% delta), the ATI Radeon HD 5770 scores 1190 (-0.5%), the AMD Radeon HD 7650M scores 1192 (-0.7%), and the AMD FirePro M2000 scores 1168 (+1.4%). This comparison underscores just how limited the Arc B370 is in absolute terms, as it trades blows with GPUs from over a decade ago.

In Fivem's measured results, the GPU's limitations are evident in the low frame rates even at the most favorable settings. The 80 FPS at 1080p Low is the only result that approaches playable territory, while all other configurations fall below 63 FPS. The GPU's 20 ROPs and 48.00 GPixel/s pixel rate are likely the primary constraints at higher resolutions, as the 4K results (18-29 FPS) suggest that pixel fill is the dominant bottleneck. The system-shared memory architecture further compounds the issue, as the GPU must contend with the CPU for memory bandwidth, and the "System Dependent" bandwidth figure indicates that performance can vary based on the system's RAM configuration.

The TDP of 25 W confirms that this is an integrated graphics solution, not a discrete card, which explains its positioning in the 5th percentile. The 3 nm process and Xe3-LPG architecture are modern, but the small die and limited shading resources cannot compete with even entry-level discrete GPUs. The data shows that the Arc B370 is the clear performance limiter in this combo, as the CPU's capabilities vastly exceed what the GPU can utilize in Fivem's rendering pipeline.

Settings Recommendations

Based on the measured FPS data, the optimal settings for this combo in Fivem depend on the user's resolution and frame rate priorities. At 1920x1080, the Low preset delivers 80 FPS, which is the only settings level that exceeds 60 FPS. The Medium preset provides 63 FPS, which is still playable and offers a significant visual improvement over Low. The High preset drops to 50 FPS, and Ultra falls to 39 FPS. For users seeking a smooth experience at 1080p, Medium settings appear to be the best balance, as the 63 FPS average is within the acceptable range for most players, and the 54 FPS minimum and 72 FPS maximum indicate reasonable frame time consistency.

At 2560x1440, the situation becomes more constrained. The Low preset yields 53 FPS, which is the only setting above 50 FPS at this resolution. Medium drops to 41 FPS (with a 35 FPS minimum and 48 FPS maximum), High falls to 33 FPS, and Ultra is at 26 FPS. The data suggests that 1440p gaming is only viable at Low settings, and even then, the 53 FPS average is below the 60 FPS target. For 3840x2160, all settings produce frame rates below 30 FPS, with Low at 29 FPS, Medium at 23 FPS (20-26 FPS range), High at 18 FPS, and Ultra at 14 FPS. None of these are recommended for serious play.

The measured data implies that the best experience for this combo is at 1080p with Medium settings, as it provides a 63 FPS average while offering more visual fidelity than Low. The 54 FPS minimum also suggests that frame drops are not catastrophic, keeping the experience relatively stable. Users who prioritize frame rate above all else should select Low at 1080p, while those who value visuals over smoothness could consider High, but the 50 FPS average may be borderline for some players.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the combo achieves its best results. The Low preset produces an average of 80 FPS, with no reported minimum or maximum values. Medium settings yield 63 FPS average, with a minimum of 54 FPS and a maximum of 72 FPS. High settings drop to 50 FPS average, and Ultra settings fall to 39 FPS average. The spread from Low to Ultra is 41 FPS, indicating that quality settings have a substantial impact at this resolution.

At 2560x1440, performance declines noticeably. Low settings deliver 53 FPS average, while Medium produces 41 FPS with a 35 FPS minimum and 48 FPS maximum. High settings average 33 FPS, and Ultra drops to 26 FPS. The difference between Low and Ultra at 1440p is 27 FPS, which is a narrower spread than at 1080p, suggesting the GPU is becoming more constrained. The Medium preset's minimum of 35 FPS is notably low, indicating potential stuttering in demanding scenes.

At 3840x2160, the combo struggles across all settings. Low settings yield 29 FPS average, Medium produces 23 FPS (20-26 FPS range), High averages 18 FPS, and Ultra drops to 14 FPS. The gap between Low and Ultra narrows to just 15 FPS, confirming that the GPU is hitting a hard performance ceiling. The Medium preset's 20 FPS minimum is the lowest recorded value across all tests, highlighting the severe performance degradation at 4K. These numbers show a clear linear relationship between resolution and frame rate, with each step up in resolution roughly halving the performance at a given settings level.

How This Combo Ranks

The Intel Core i5-13400F + Intel Arc B370 combination ranks 2762nd out of 3005 tested combos in Fivem, placing it in the bottom 8.1% of all configurations. This low ranking is primarily attributable to the GPU's performance, as the Arc B370 sits in the 5th percentile among all GPUs with an average benchmark score of 1184. The CPU, by contrast, is in the 77th percentile, creating a significant mismatch that drags the overall combo ranking down.

The GPU's nearest rivals in the synthetic benchmark are all legacy parts, with the ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5570 (1186 score, -0.2% delta), ATI Radeon HD 5770 (1190, -0.5%), and AMD Radeon HD 7650M (1192, -0.7%) all scoring within 1% of the Arc B370.
