The highest average is 56 FPS on the Low preset, which is below the 60 FPS threshold. Therefore, the verdict is that this PC is a solid 1080p and a decent 1440p machine for Fivem, but it is not suitable for 4K gaming.

CPU and GPU Roles

The data reveals a shifting balance of power between the CPU and GPU depending on the resolution and preset. At 1920x1080, the CPU’s high performance is more apparent, as the system achieves very high frame rates even on the Ultra preset, with an average of 75 FPS. The minimal performance drop between Low and Ultra presets (154 to 75 FPS) suggests that the CPU is capable of feeding the GPU efficiently at this resolution, and the GPU is the primary constraint as settings increase. However, the CPU’s strength ensures that it is not a bottleneck even at the highest preset.

As resolution increases to 2560x1440, the GPU’s role becomes more dominant. The frame rate on the High preset drops to 64 FPS, and the Ultra preset falls below the playable threshold at 50 FPS. This is a clear indication that the Arc B580 is struggling to keep up with the increased pixel load. The CPU, with its high multi-threaded performance and 128 MB of L3 cache, is likely not the limiting factor here, as the frame rate scaling is consistent with a GPU-bound scenario. The data suggests that at 1440p, the GPU’s capabilities are the deciding factor for whether a preset is playable.

At 3840x2160, the GPU is unequivocally the bottleneck. The frame rates across all presets are low, ranging from 28 FPS on Ultra to 56 FPS on Low. The scaling between presets is steep, but even the lowest settings fail to reach 60 FPS. The CPU’s performance, while strong, cannot compensate for the GPU’s inability to render at 4K resolution. The data implies that the Ryzen 9 9900X3D has ample headroom for this game, and its performance would only be fully utilized if paired with a more powerful GPU. The Arc B580, with its 12 GB of memory and 456.0 GB/s bandwidth, is simply outmatched at 4K, making it the clear limiting factor for this combination.
