Fivem

The AMD Ryzen 9 9900X and Intel Arc B580 combination delivers a performance profile in Fivem that is heavily dictated by resolution. At 1920x1080, this system is exceptionally capable, clearing the 60 FPS threshold at every preset, including Ultra. Moving to 2560x1440, the system remains playable at three of the four tested settings, but the Ultra preset falls below the playable threshold. At 3840x2160, the combo struggles across the board, with no preset reaching 60 FPS. The data indicates a clear performance ceiling that separates 1440p High from 4K Low.

Measured FPS Breakdown

Benchmark results for Fivem show a predictable decline in frame rates as resolution and graphical demands increase. At 1920x1080, the combo produces its strongest results. The Low preset yields an average of 151.8 FPS, which drops to 122.4 FPS at Medium. The High preset still delivers a robust 98.5 FPS average, while the most demanding Ultra preset maintains a solid 74.4 FPS average. These figures show a performance buffer of over 14 FPS above the 60 FPS playable threshold even at the highest settings.

Stepping up to 2560x1440, the performance penalty is significant but not crippling. The Low preset averages 99.4 FPS, a reduction of 52.4 FPS compared to the same preset at 1080p. Medium settings produce an average of 79 FPS, and High settings land at 62.1 FPS, which is just 2.1 FPS above the playable threshold. The Ultra preset drops to 47.7 FPS, a figure that falls short of the 60 FPS target by 12.3 FPS. This resolution demonstrates that the system’s headroom at 1080p is consumed quickly as pixel count increases.

At 3840x2160, the performance collapse is evident. The Low preset averages 55.5 FPS, which is 4.5 FPS below the playable threshold. Medium settings drop further to 44.5 FPS, and High settings produce only 32.6 FPS. The Ultra preset is the weakest result in the entire dataset, averaging just 26.3 FPS. None of the 4K presets achieve a playable frame rate, indicating that this resolution is beyond the capabilities of this hardware pairing for Fivem.

The scaling between resolutions is roughly linear in terms of pixel count impact, but the percentage drops are steep. From 1080p Low to 1440p Low, the average FPS falls by 34.5%. From 1440p Low to 4K Low, the average FPS falls by 44.1%. The Ultra preset shows similar degradation, with 1080p Ultra at 74.4 FPS, 1440p Ultra at 47.7 FPS, and 4K Ultra at 26.3 FPS. These numbers confirm that the Intel Arc B580 lacks the raw throughput needed for 4K gaming in this title.

How This Combo Ranks

The combined performance of the AMD Ryzen 9 9900X and Intel Arc B580 places this configuration at rank 2835 out of 3707 tested combos in Fivem. This percentile position, roughly in the 76th percentile of all tested systems, indicates a mid-to-upper tier result. The ranking reflects the balance between the strong CPU and the mid-range GPU, where the graphics card becomes the limiting factor at higher resolutions.

The CPU itself is a top-tier part, with a percentile rank of 92 among all CPUs. Its average benchmark score of 57498 places it in elite company. The GPU, by contrast, sits at the 68th percentile among all GPUs, with an average benchmark score of 23021. The disparity in component tiers explains why the combo ranks lower than the CPU alone would suggest; the GPU holds back the overall system performance in Fivem, particularly at 1440p and 4K resolutions.

The combo rank of 2835 means that 872 tested combinations performed worse, while 2834 performed better. This places the system in a substantial middle group where small differences in GPU selection could shift the ranking significantly. The data suggests that pairing this CPU with a stronger GPU would yield a much higher rank, but as configured, the system delivers playable performance at 1080p across all settings and at 1440p up to High settings.

CPU and GPU Roles

The benchmark data reveals a clear division of labor between the AMD Ryzen 9 9900X and the Intel Arc B580 in Fivem. At 1920x1080, the CPU’s influence is more pronounced, as the GPU has sufficient headroom to render frames quickly. The 12-core, 24-thread processor with a 4.40 GHz base clock and 5.60 GHz boost clock provides ample single-thread performance for the game’s simulation logic. The 3dmark single-thread score of 1286 and passmark single-thread score of 4672 indicate strong per-core capability.

As resolution increases to 2560x1440 and 3840x2160, the GPU becomes the dominant factor. The Intel Arc B580’s 13.67 TFLOPS of FP32 performance and 456.0 GB/s memory bandwidth are insufficient to maintain high frame rates at these pixel densities. The 12 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 192-bit bus provides enough capacity but not enough bandwidth for 4K textures and effects. The shift in bottleneck is evident in the FPS drops: 1080p Ultra to 1440p Ultra costs 26.7 FPS, while 1440p Ultra to 4K Ultra costs 21.4 FPS.

The scaling between Low and Ultra presets at each resolution further illustrates the GPU’s role. At 1080p, the difference between Low and Ultra is 77.4 FPS, showing the GPU can handle the extra load. At 1440p, this gap narrows to 51.7 FPS, and at 4K, it shrinks to 29.2 FPS. The diminishing returns at higher resolutions indicate that the GPU is running out of resources, while the CPU continues to feed it frames without becoming the limiting factor.

Similar Performance Alternatives

Looking at the nearest rivals for the AMD Ryzen 9 9900X, several CPUs offer nearly identical average benchmark scores. The AMD EPYC 9015 scores 57555, which is 0.1% lower than the 9900X’s 57498. The AMD EPYC 7313 scores 57399, a 0.2% difference. Both EPYC processors would behave similarly in Fivem, though they are server-class parts with different platform requirements. The Intel Core i9-14900 scores 58115, 1.1% higher, and the Intel Xeon Platinum 8260M scores 58323, 1.4% higher. These rivals would produce nearly indistinguishable frame rates in Fivem, with differences well within measurement noise.

For the Intel Arc B580, the nearest GPU rivals show a tighter cluster. The AMD Radeon RX 580 2048SP scores 23061, just 0.2% below the B580’s 23021. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2080 scores 22895, 0.6% higher, while the RTX 3080 scores 23172, 0.7% higher. The NVIDIA P106-100 scores 23249, 1% higher. In Fivem specifically, these GPUs would deliver nearly identical average FPS at each resolution and preset. The differences between them are so small that user preference for brand or features would be the deciding factor, not raw performance.

The practical implication is that swapping the CPU to any of the listed rivals would produce no meaningful change in Fivem performance. Similarly, swapping the GPU to a RTX 2080 or RTX 3080 would yield frame rates within 1% of the Arc B580. This means the system’s playability profile is stable across these alternatives; the 1080p Ultra and 1440p High results would remain essentially unchanged.

Best Settings per Resolution

At 1920x1080, the system achieves playable frame rates at all four tested presets. The most demanding preset that stays at or above 60 FPS is Ultra, with an average of 74.4 FPS. This is the recommended setting for 1080p, as it provides the highest visual quality while maintaining a comfortable 14.4 FPS margin above the playable threshold. The data shows no reason to lower settings at this resolution, as even the most demanding preset clears the 60 FPS target.

At 2560x1440, the best playable preset is High, which averages 62.1 FPS. This is just 2.1 FPS above the 60 FPS threshold, leaving little room for frame time spikes in multiplayer scenarios. The Medium preset at 79 FPS offers a safer margin, but High remains playable per the data. The Ultra preset at 47.7 FPS is not recommended, as it falls 12.3 FPS short of the target. Users who prioritize smoothness over visuals should consider Medium, while those who want maximum quality can run High with acceptable performance.

At 3840x2160, no preset achieves the 60 FPS threshold. The Low preset comes closest at 55.5 FPS, which is 4.5 FPS below playable. The Medium preset at 44.5 FPS and High at 32.6 FPS are progressively worse, with Ultra at 26.3 FPS being effectively unplayable. The data indicates that 4K is not viable for this combo in Fivem, regardless of settings. Users with 4K displays should either lower the resolution to 1440p or accept sub-60 FPS performance.

The Verdict

This system can run Fivem at 1920x1080 with full visual fidelity, as the Ultra preset delivers an average of 74.4 FPS, comfortably clearing the 60 FPS playable threshold. At 2560x1440, the system is playable at High settings with 62.1 FPS, but the Ultra preset falls below 60 FPS at 47.7 FPS. At 3840x2160, the system is not playable at any setting, with the best result being Low at 55.5 FPS.

The verdict by resolution is clear: 1080p is fully supported across all settings, 1440p is supported up to High settings, and 4K is unsupported. The AMD Ryzen 9 9900X provides ample CPU headroom for this game, as evidenced by its 92nd percentile ranking, but the Intel Arc B580’s 68th percentile GPU performance becomes the limiting factor at higher resolutions. The system’s rank of 2835 out of 3707 combos reflects this imbalance, where the CPU outperforms its GPU partner.

For users with a 1080p monitor, this is a strong configuration for Fivem, offering 151.8 FPS at Low settings and 74.4 FPS at Ultra. For 1440p users, the system is acceptable with settings capped at High, but the margin above 60 FPS is slim. For 4K users, the system falls short of the playable threshold at every preset, making it unsuitable for this resolution. The data suggests that upgrading the GPU would unlock 1440p Ultra and potentially 4K Low, but as configured, the system is best suited for 1080p gaming.
