Fivem

The AMD Ryzen 9 9900X and Intel Arc B570 combination presents a curious split in Fivem: the CPU is a top-tier desktop part, while the GPU sits in the mid-range segment. Benchmark data shows this pairing delivers a fully playable experience at 1080p across all settings, a partially playable one at 1440p, and falls short of the 60 FPS threshold at 4K. The measured frames reveal a system where the graphics card is the primary constraint, with the CPU’s headroom going largely unused.

Best Settings per Resolution

At 1920x1080, the most demanding preset that maintains an average of at least 60 FPS is Ultra, which delivers an average of 67 FPS. This is a clear win for the combo, as even the highest settings clear the playable threshold with a small but real margin. The data shows a smooth progression downward from Low at 136 FPS through Medium at 107 FPS and High at 86 FPS, with Ultra being the ceiling for this resolution.

At 2560x1440, the best settings that stay at or above 60 FPS are Medium, with an average of 71 FPS. The measured minimum of 60 FPS for this preset confirms that it holds the line even in dips. High settings at this resolution drop to 56 FPS average, which misses the target. Low settings run at 89 FPS, but Medium is the optimal balance for visual quality while keeping the frame rate above the threshold.

At 3840x2160, no preset reaches 60 FPS. The best available average is 50 FPS on Low settings, followed by 39 FPS on Medium and 31 FPS on High. Ultra is the worst at 24 FPS. The verdict data confirms no playable settings at this resolution, meaning the GPU simply lacks the throughput for 4K in this title.

CPU and GPU Roles

The benchmark results indicate that the GPU is the limiting factor in this pairing, particularly as resolution increases. At 1080p, the CPU’s high single-thread and multi-thread scores — including a Geekbench single-core score of 3010 and a Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 32172 — are more than sufficient to feed the Arc B570. The scaling from Low to Ultra at 1080p shows a drop from 136 FPS to 67 FPS, a 50.7% reduction, which is a direct consequence of GPU load, not CPU limitation.

At 1440p, the GPU’s role becomes more pronounced. The drop from Low (89 FPS) to Medium (71 FPS) is 20.2%, and from Medium to High (56 FPS) it is 21.1%. These consistent reductions suggest that the CPU is still keeping pace, but the B570’s rendering capacity is the ceiling. The fact that 1440p Medium holds a minimum of 60 FPS while High drops below the threshold points to a hard GPU performance cliff rather than a CPU bottleneck.

At 4K, the GPU is almost entirely responsible for the frame rates. The spread from Low (50 FPS) to Ultra (24 FPS) is a 52% drop, which is a massive penalty for higher settings. The Ryzen 9 9900X’s 12 cores and 24 threads, with a Passmark multi-thread score of 54643, are unlikely to be the constraint here; the Arc B570’s 11.52 TFLOPS FP32 throughput and 380.0 GB/s memory bandwidth are insufficient for the pixel count of 3840x2160. The data clearly shows a GPU-bound scenario at this resolution.

Measured FPS Breakdown

3840x2160: The only preset with min/max data is Medium, showing an average of 39 FPS, with a minimum of 33 FPS and a maximum of 45 FPS. This narrow range suggests consistent performance without major stutters, but it is far from playable. Low averages 50 FPS, High averages 31 FPS, and Ultra averages 24 FPS. The lack of min/max data for other presets indicates the benchmark recorded only average values for those runs.

2560x1440: Medium is the standout preset, with an average of 71 FPS, a minimum of 60 FPS, and a maximum of 81 FPS. This is the only 1440p preset with min/max data, and the minimum exactly matches the playable threshold, indicating the frame rate is stable at the lower bound. Low averages 89 FPS, High averages 56 FPS, and Ultra averages 44 FPS. The gap between Medium and High is 15 FPS, which is a significant penalty for one step up in quality.

1920x1080: Medium again provides the only min/max data, with an average of 107 FPS, a minimum of 91 FPS, and a maximum of 123 FPS. This wide spread shows the engine can push high frames in less demanding scenes. Low averages 136 FPS, High averages 86 FPS, and Ultra averages 67 FPS. The scaling from Low to Ultra is a 50.7% reduction, but every preset clears the 60 FPS bar, making 1080p the sweet spot for this combo.

The Verdict

This PC can run Fivem, but the experience depends heavily on the chosen resolution. At 1920x1080, the answer is a definitive yes: all four presets — Low, Medium, High, and Ultra — average above 60 FPS, with Ultra at 67 FPS being the best visual option that remains playable. The data shows no compromises are needed at this resolution.

At 2560x1440, the system is playable but with limits. Low and Medium both clear 60 FPS, with Medium at 71 FPS being the best settings that meet the threshold. High falls to 56 FPS, and Ultra to 44 FPS, so players must accept Medium as the ceiling for smooth gameplay. The minimum of 60 FPS on Medium is reassuring for consistency.

At 3840x2160, the verdict is negative. No preset reaches the 60 FPS playable threshold, with the best being Low at 50 FPS. The GPU is not capable of handling this resolution in Fivem, and even dropping to Low settings does not provide a playable frame rate. Users with 4K displays should stick to 1440p or lower for this title.

Similar Performance Alternatives

For the CPU, the nearest rivals in benchmark scores are close, with negligible differences. The AMD EPYC 9015 scores 57555, which is 0.1% lower than the Ryzen 9 9900X’s average. The AMD EPYC 7313 scores 57399, a 0.2% difference. The Intel Core i9-14900 scores 58115, which is 1.1% higher, and the Intel Xeon Platinum 8260M scores 58323, a 1.4% advantage. These deltas are all within a couple of percentage points, meaning any of these CPUs would behave nearly identically in Fivem’s CPU-bound scenarios.

For the GPU, the rivals are similarly tight. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Mobile scores 20534, just 0.1% below the Arc B570’s 20556 average. The Intel Arc A750 scores 20582, a 0.1% difference. The NVIDIA Quadro M4000M scores 20480, 0.4% lower, and the AMD Radeon R9 M390X scores 20662, 0.5% higher. In practical terms, all of these GPUs would deliver nearly the same frame rates in Fivem, meaning the Arc B570’s performance is not unique but rather representative of this performance tier.

How This Combo Ranks

In the database of tested combinations, this specific pairing of the AMD Ryzen 9 9900X and Intel Arc B570 ranks 2980 out of 3707 total combos. This places it in the lower half of all tested systems, which is unsurprising given the GPU’s mid-range status. The percentile data reinforces this: the CPU is in the 92nd percentile of all CPUs, while the GPU is in the 65th percentile of all GPUs. The rank of 2980 suggests that while the CPU is exceptional, the GPU drags the overall combo down relative to other pairings. For Fivem specifically, this rank means the system is adequate for 1080p and entry-level 1440p, but it will not compete with higher-end GPU pairings that can handle 4K or higher refresh rates at max settings. The data implies that upgrading the GPU would yield a much larger performance gain than upgrading the CPU, given the latter’s already high standing.
