Fivem

The AMD Ryzen 7 9700X paired with the Intel Arc B570 delivers a mixed performance profile in Fivem, with strong results at 1080p, acceptable 1440p performance at reduced settings, and a clear inability to maintain playable frame rates at 4K. The data shows a system that scales predictably with resolution and preset changes, with the CPU’s strong multi-threaded and single-threaded benchmark scores (3dmark max threads 9771, single thread 1280) providing a solid foundation, while the GPU’s mid-range standing (passmark g3d 14195, percentile 65) becomes the limiting factor at higher resolutions.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 3840x2160, the measured frame rates are consistently below the 60 FPS playability threshold. The Low preset delivers 50 FPS average, which is the highest recorded at this resolution, but still falls short. Medium settings drop to 39 FPS average with a minimum of 33 and maximum of 45, indicating notable frame variance. High settings produce 31 FPS average, and Ultra is the most demanding, yielding only 24 FPS average. None of these settings approach a smooth experience, with the gap between Low and Ultra representing a 26 FPS swing.

Moving to 2560x1440, the situation improves substantially. The Low preset reaches 89 FPS average, comfortably above the 60 FPS threshold. Medium settings achieve 71 FPS average, with a solid minimum of 60 and maximum of 81, showing consistent frame delivery. High settings drop to 56 FPS average, just below the playable mark, while Ultra falls further to 44 FPS average. The data indicates that 1440p is only viable with Low or Medium presets, with Medium being the most demanding playable option.

At 1920x1080, the combo performs strongly across all presets. Low settings hit 136 FPS average, Medium achieves 107 FPS average with a minimum of 91 and maximum of 123, High reaches 86 FPS average, and Ultra still delivers 67 FPS average. Every preset clears the 60 FPS threshold, with Ultra providing a playable experience despite being the most demanding. The scaling from Low to Ultra at 1080p shows a 69 FPS reduction, but even the lowest point (67 FPS) remains smooth.

How This Combo Ranks

The AMD Ryzen 7 9700X + Intel Arc B570 combination ranks 2980 out of 3707 tested combos in Fivem, placing it in the lower-mid range of the database. This percentile position (roughly the 20th percentile) reflects the GPU’s limitations more than the CPU’s capabilities, as the Ryzen 7 9700X sits in the 86th percentile among all CPUs with an average benchmark score of 37943. The Arc B570’s 65th percentile among GPUs (average benchmark score 20556) is the constraining factor, particularly at higher resolutions where the rendering load increases.

The rank suggests that while the CPU is capable of feeding the GPU sufficiently, the overall combo is not optimized for high-resolution gaming in Fivem. The gap between the combo’s rank and the CPU’s individual standing (86th percentile) indicates that the GPU creates a bottleneck, especially at 4K where frame rates drop to 24-50 FPS. At 1080p, the combo performs closer to its component potential, with Ultra settings at 67 FPS showing the GPU can handle the workload when resolution is reduced.

FAQ

Q: What is the best preset for 2560x1440 that maintains 60 FPS or higher?

A: The Medium preset at 2560x1440 delivers 71 FPS average, with a minimum of 60 FPS, making it the most demanding setting that stays at or above the playability threshold.

Q: Can this combo run Fivem at 3840x2160?

A: No. The highest average frame rate at 4K is 50 FPS on Low settings, which is below the 60 FPS threshold. All other presets (Medium 39 FPS, High 31 FPS, Ultra 24 FPS) are further from playable.

Q: How does the Intel Arc B570 compare to its nearest rivals in benchmark scores?

A: The Arc B570’s average benchmark score of 20556 is within 0.1% of the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Mobile (20534) and 0.1% below the Intel Arc A750 (20582). The AMD Radeon R9 M390X (20662) is 0.5% higher.

Q: What frame rate does the Ultra preset achieve at 1920x1080?

A: The Ultra preset at 1920x1080 produces 67 FPS average, which is above the 60 FPS playability threshold, making it the best settings option at this resolution.

Q: Is the CPU or GPU more responsible for the 4K performance shortfall?

A: The GPU is the primary limiter. The Ryzen 7 9700X ranks in the 86th percentile among CPUs, while the Arc B570 ranks in the 65th percentile among GPUs, indicating the GPU struggles with the rendering load at 3840x2160.

Q: What is the minimum frame rate recorded for the Medium preset at 2560x1440?

A: The minimum frame rate is 60 FPS, with an average of 71 FPS and a maximum of 81 FPS, showing consistent performance without drops below the playable threshold.

Similar Performance Alternatives

For the CPU, the AMD Ryzen 7 9700X (average benchmark score 37943) is closely matched by the Intel Core i9-14901E (37911, 0.1% lower), the AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 (37904, 0.1% lower), the Intel Core 5 211E (37829, 0.3% lower), and the AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P132 (37804, 0.4% lower). These processors would deliver nearly identical CPU-bound performance in Fivem, meaning any of them paired with the Arc B570 would produce similar frame rates at all resolutions and presets.

On the GPU side, the Intel Arc B570 (average benchmark score 20556) is effectively equivalent to the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Mobile (20534, 0.1% lower) and the Intel Arc A750 (20582, 0.1% higher). The NVIDIA Quadro M4000M (20480, 0.4% lower) and AMD Radeon R9 M390X (20662, 0.5% higher) are also within a negligible margin. Substituting any of these GPUs would yield nearly identical FPS figures in Fivem, with the same pattern of playable 1080p, marginal 1440p, and unplayable 4K performance.

CPU and GPU Roles

The performance scaling across resolutions reveals the division of labor between the Ryzen 7 9700X and Arc B570. At 1920x1080, the combo achieves 136 FPS on Low and 67 FPS on Ultra, showing that the CPU can drive high frame rates when the GPU is not overloaded. The 3dmark 16-thread score of 9824 and cinebench r23 multicore score of 20485 indicate strong multi-threading capability, which helps in Fivem’s multiplayer environments where many characters and entities require processing.

At 2560x1440, the frame rates drop proportionally to the resolution increase, with Medium at 71 FPS and High at 56 FPS. This 1440p data suggests the GPU begins to become the limiting factor, as the CPU has ample headroom (evidenced by its 86th percentile ranking) but the Arc B570’s 10 GB GDDR6 memory and 380.0 GB/s bandwidth start to constrain texture and geometry throughput. The gap between Low (89 FPS) and Ultra (44 FPS) at this resolution is 45 FPS, indicating that preset changes have a substantial impact on GPU load.

At 3840x2160, the GPU is clearly the bottleneck. The best result (Low at 50 FPS) is still below the 60 FPS threshold, and Ultra drops to 24 FPS. The 4K resolution demands significantly more from the GPU’s 2304 shading units and 80 ROPs, which are insufficient for this workload. The CPU’s role diminishes at this resolution, as the rendering pipeline is overwhelmed by the pixel count, and even the Ryzen 7 9700X’s strong single-thread performance (3dmark single thread 1280, passmark single thread 4654) cannot compensate for the GPU’s limitations.

The Verdict

This PC can run Fivem, but the playable experience is strictly limited to 1920x1080 and 2560x1440 with specific presets. At 1920x1080, all four presets (Low 136 FPS, Medium 107 FPS, High 86 FPS, Ultra 67 FPS) clear the 60 FPS threshold, making this the fully playable resolution. At 2560x1440, only Low (89 FPS) and Medium (71 FPS) maintain 60 FPS or higher, with High (56 FPS) and Ultra (44 FPS) falling short. At 3840x2160, no preset achieves 60 FPS, with the best being Low at 50 FPS, so 4K is not viable for smooth gameplay.

Best Settings per Resolution

At 1920x1080, the most demanding preset that stays at or above 60 FPS is Ultra, which delivers 67 FPS average. This provides the highest visual quality while maintaining playability. At 2560x1440, the best settings are Medium, achieving 71 FPS average with a minimum of 60 FPS, offering a balance between visual fidelity and performance. For 3840x2160, there is no playable settings option, as even the Low preset at 50 FPS average falls below the 60 FPS threshold, so users targeting 4K would need to reduce resolution or accept sub-60 FPS frame rates.
