Fivem

Intel Core i7-12700KF paired with the Intel Arc B370 produces a deeply lopsided result in Fivem, one that is almost entirely dictated by the graphics component. The CPU is a high-end desktop part with a strong multi-threaded profile, while the GPU is an entry-level integrated graphics solution that lands in the bottom percentile of all tested GPUs. The benchmark data shows this combo ranking near the bottom of all tested combinations, and the measured frame rates confirm that the Arc B370 is the bottleneck at every resolution and settings level.

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

The Intel Core i7-12700KF is a 12-core, 20-thread processor based on the Alder Lake architecture, built on Intel's 10 nm process node. It has a base clock of 3.60 GHz and a boost clock of 5.00 GHz, with a 125 W TDP. The cache hierarchy includes 80 KB of L1 per core, 1.25 MB of L2 per core, and a shared 25 MB L3 cache. It supports dual-channel DDR4 and DDR5 memory and uses the Intel Socket 1700 platform. The processor has an unlocked multiplier, making it overclockable, and its market segment is desktop, with a production status of Active.

In synthetic benchmarks, the i7-12700KF shows a strong balance of single-thread and multi-thread performance. It scores 1043 in 3dmark single-thread and 9282 in 3dmark 16-thread tests, with a max-thread score of 9983. Cinebench results are similarly robust: 410 in R15 single-core, 2906 in R15 multi-core, 1709 in R20 single-core, 12111 in R20 multi-core, and 4071 in R23 single-core with 28838 in R23 multi-core. Geekbench returns 2255 single-core and 14367 multi-core. Passmark scores include 3984 for single-thread and 34092 for multi-thread. The processor's percentile vs all CPus is 85, indicating it outperforms the vast majority of CPUs in the database.

For Fivem, which is a multiplayer mod for a sandbox game, the title tends to place significant load on a few threads. The i7-12700KF's single-thread performance is clearly sufficient, as evidenced by its percentile ranking and its synthetic scores. However, the measured FPS in this combo shows that the CPU is not the limiting factor. At 1080p Low settings, the combo achieves 80 FPS average, which is the highest result in the dataset. If the CPU were the bottleneck, increasing resolution would have little effect on FPS. Instead, FPS drops sharply as resolution increases, which points directly to GPU limits. The CPU has ample headroom; the Arc B370 simply cannot feed frames fast enough to utilize the processor's capabilities.

How This Combo Ranks, use comboRankInGame vs other tested combos

In the database of tested combinations, this pairing of Intel Core i7-12700KF and Intel Arc B370 ranks 2762 out of 3005 combos in Fivem. That places it in the bottom 8% of all tested configurations. This low ranking is not due to the CPU, which is in the 85th percentile among all CPUs, but rather due to the GPU's placement in the 5th percentile among all GPUs. The Arc B370 is an integrated graphics part, and its benchmark results reflect that.

The GPU's only available benchmark score is 1184 in 3dmark Steel Nomad DX12. Its nearest rivals in the GPU benchmark database are all older discrete parts: the ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5570 with a score of 1186 (a delta of -0.2%), the ATI Radeon HD 5770 with 1190 (delta -0.5%), the AMD Radeon HD 7650M with 1192 (delta -0.7%), and the AMD FirePro M2000 with 1168 (delta +1.4%). This places the Arc B370 in the same performance tier as GPUs from over a decade ago. When combined with a modern high-end CPU, the result is a severe mismatch: the CPU is far more capable than the GPU can feed, and the combo's ranking reflects that imbalance.

The data shows this is not a balanced system for Fivem. The combo rank of 2762 out of 3005 means that the vast majority of other tested pairings deliver better FPS. For a game like Fivem, which can be sensitive to both CPU and GPU depending on the server and the scene, this pairing will consistently underperform because the GPU is the hard ceiling. The CPU's high percentile ranking is effectively wasted in this configuration.

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

The measured FPS data shows a clear and steep decline as resolution increases, which is a textbook sign of a GPU-bound system. At 1920x1080 with Low settings, the average FPS is 80. Moving to 2560x1440 with Low settings, the average FPS drops to 53, a reduction of 27 FPS or roughly 34%. At 3840x2160 with Low settings, the average FPS falls further to 29, which is less than half of the 1080p result.

The same pattern holds for other settings. At High settings, the FPS goes from 50 at 1080p to 33 at 1440p to 18 at 4K. At Medium settings, the FPS goes from 63 at 1080p (with min 54 and max 72) to 41 at 1440p (min 35, max 48) to 23 at 4K (min 20, max 26). At Ultra settings, the FPS goes from 39 at 1080p to 26 at 1440p to 14 at 4K.

This scaling pattern is consistent with a GPU that has limited fill rate and memory bandwidth. The Arc B370 has a pixel rate of 48.00 GPixel/s and a texture rate of 96.00 GTexel/s, with a memory system that is "System Shared" and bandwidth that is "System Dependent." As the resolution increases, the number of pixels to fill grows quadratically, and the GPU's fixed resources become more strained. The CPU, with its high single-thread and multi-thread scores, is not the limiting factor; if it were, the FPS would remain relatively flat across resolutions. Instead, the FPS drops by more than half from 1080p to 4K at every settings level, confirming that the GPU is the bottleneck.

Measured FPS Breakdown, resolution by resolution, settings by settings, exact numbers

At 1920x1080, the combo delivers playable frame rates at lower settings. With Low settings, the average FPS is 80. Medium settings produce an average of 63 FPS, with a minimum of 54 and a maximum of 72. High settings yield an average of 50 FPS. Ultra settings drop to an average of 39 FPS. This shows that the Arc B370 can handle 1080p gaming in Fivem at low to medium settings, but it struggles at higher quality presets.

Moving to 2560x1440, the frame rates become less consistent. Low settings average 53 FPS. Medium settings average 41 FPS, with a minimum of 35 and a maximum of 48. High settings average 33 FPS. Ultra settings drop to an average of 26 FPS. At this resolution, even Low settings are below the 60 FPS threshold, and Ultra settings are borderline unplayable.

At 3840x2160, the performance collapses. Low settings average 29 FPS. Medium settings average 23 FPS, with a minimum of 20 and a maximum of 26. High settings average 18 FPS. Ultra settings average 14 FPS. None of these results are suitable for smooth gameplay, and even the best case at 4K Low is below 30 FPS.

The data also shows the range between minimum and maximum FPS for Medium settings at each resolution. At 1080p, the range is 54 to 72, a spread of 18 FPS. At 1440p, the range is 35 to 48, a spread of 13 FPS. At 4K, the range is 20 to 26, a spread of 6 FPS. This narrowing range at higher resolutions indicates that the GPU is becoming more consistently saturated, with less headroom for variation.

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

The Intel Arc B370 is an integrated graphics processor based on the Xe3-LPG architecture, built on a 3 nm process node. It has a base clock of 300 MHz and a boost clock of 2400 MHz. The GPU has 1280 shading units, 40 texture mapping units, and 20 raster operation units, along with 10 ray tracing cores. Its FP32 performance is 6.144 TFLOPS, and FP16 performance is 12.29 TFLOPS (2:1). The memory is "System Shared," meaning it uses system RAM rather than dedicated VRAM, with a bus width and bandwidth that are also system dependent. The GPU's TDP is 25 W, and it has no power connectors, as it is an IGP.

In the GPU benchmark database, the Arc B370's 3dmark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 1184 places it in the 5th percentile of all GPUs. Its nearest rivals are all older discrete parts, as noted earlier, and the deltas are very small, ranging from -0.7% to +1.4%. This indicates that the Arc B370 performs at the level of a low-end discrete GPU from roughly 2010-2011. For Fivem, which is a multiplayer mod that can be demanding on both CPU and GPU depending on the server population and the area being rendered, this GPU is simply not capable of delivering high frame rates at modern resolutions.

The GPU's performance in Fivem is the primary reason for this combo's low ranking. The measured FPS at 4K Ultra is 14, which is below the minimum for a playable experience. The GPU's limited pixel fill rate and its dependence on system memory for bandwidth are the likely causes. Fivem's open-world environments with many players and vehicles can create significant draw calls and geometry, which stresses the GPU's resources. The Arc B370, with its low percentile ranking and dated performance level, cannot keep up with the CPU's output.
