Q: Which resolution shows the widest gap between Low and Ultra performance?

A: At 3840x2160, Low averages 50 FPS while Ultra averages 24 FPS, a gap of 26 FPS. At 2560x1440, Low averages 89 FPS and Ultra averages 44 FPS, a gap of 45 FPS. At 1920x1080, Low averages 136 FPS and Ultra averages 67 FPS, a gap of 69 FPS.

Best Settings per Resolution

At 3840x2160, no preset reaches the 60 FPS threshold. Low produces 50 FPS average, Medium 39 FPS, High 31 FPS, and Ultra 24 FPS. The most demanding preset that stays at or above 60 FPS does not exist at this resolution.

At 2560x1440, Medium is the most demanding preset that clears 60 FPS, with an average of 71 FPS, a minimum of 60 FPS, and a maximum of 81 FPS. Low averages 89 FPS, High 56 FPS, and Ultra 44 FPS. Since High and Ultra fall below the threshold, Medium is the recommended ceiling.

At 1920x1080, Ultra is the most demanding preset that stays at or above 60 FPS, with an average of 67 FPS. High averages 86 FPS, Medium averages 107 FPS with a minimum of 91 FPS and maximum of 123 FPS, and Low averages 136 FPS. Every preset at 1080p is playable, making Ultra the best visual choice.

The pattern across resolutions shows a consistent drop-off: each step up in preset at a given resolution reduces average FPS substantially, and the 3840x2160 resolution never reaches playable levels regardless of setting.

CPU and GPU Roles

The recorded data indicates that resolution scaling is the dominant factor in determining which component limits performance. At 1920x1080, the CPU can keep pace with frame delivery across all presets, allowing the GPU, the Intel Arc B570, to be pushed through Ultra at 67 FPS. Moving up to 2560x1440 drops Ultra to 44 FPS and High to 56 FPS while Medium stays at 71 FPS. At 3840x2160, even Low only reaches 50 FPS, showing that the GPU becomes increasingly stressed as pixel count rises.

The scaling between Low presets across resolutions is steep: Low at 1080p averages 136 FPS, 1440p 89 FPS, and 4K 50 FPS. Medium scales from 107 FPS at 1080p to 71 FPS at 1440p and 39 FPS at 4K. High scales from 86 FPS at 1080p to 56 FPS at 1440p and 31 FPS at 4K. Ultra scales from 67 FPS at 1080p to 44 FPS at 1440p and 24 FPS at 4K.

The CPU's role is most visible at lower resolutions. At 1920x1080, the i5-9400 is sufficient to feed frames fast enough to hit 136 FPS on Low, and the bottleneck shifts to the GPU at higher presets. At higher resolutions, the GPU's importance grows as seen in the sharper FPS drops per preset incrementally increasing with resolution.

The GPU's relative importance at 3840x2160 is evident in the fact that no setting can pass 50 FPS average. Medium shows a minimum of 33 FPS and maximum of 45 FPS, confirming the Arc B570 cannot hold 60 FPS under load at 4K, regardless of reduced quality. At 2560x1440 Medium hits a minimum of 60 FPS, which is the only 60 FPS minimum recorded at 1440p.

The 1080p Medium data provides the clearest evidence of CPU/GPU interplay: min and max FPS data is recorded at 91 FPS and 123 FPS respectively, indicating a 32 FPS spread. At 1440p Medium, min and max are 60 FPS and 81 FPS, a 21 FPS spread. At 4K Medium, min and max are 33 FPS and 4K Medium max 45 FPS, a 12 FPS spread. Tighter FPS ranges at 4K suggest the workload saturates the GPU more uniformly at lower resolutions show more headroom.

The Verdict

The Intel Core i5-9400 with Intel Arc B570 combination is fully playable at 1920x1080, with all four presets High, Low, Medium, Ultra clearing 60 FPS. Ultra averages 67 FPS, and Low 136 FPS. The verdict at 2560x1440 is playable only on Low and Medium, with Medium at 71 FPS average is the best settings. High and Ultra remain below 60 FPS at 56 FPS and 44 FPS respectively. At 3840x2160, not a single preset is playable: the best result is Low at 50 FPS, High at 31 FPS, Medium at 39 FPS, Ultra at 24 FPS FPS.

The data confirms the 60 FPS threshold is reached in 7 out of 12 resolution and preset combinations. For users targeting 1080p, Ultra is the best visual preset with no compromise in FPS. For 1440p, Medium is the safe ceiling, hitting 71 FPS average and a minimum of 60 FPS. For 4K, the data shows the GPU cannot handle the pixel count, so 1080p remains the only resolution with 60 FPS.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080 Low: average 136 FPS. Medium: average 107 FPS, minimum 91 FPS, maximum 123 FPS. High: average 86 FPS. Ultra: average 67 FPS. All presets at 1080p exceed the 60 FPS threshold, with Ultra closest to the line at 67 FPS.

At 2560x1440 Low: average 89 FPS. Medium: average 71 FPS, minimum 60 FPS, maximum 81 FPS. High: average 56 FPS. Ultra: average 44 FPS. Medium is the last playable preset, and its minimum of 60 FPS is exactly at the threshold.

At 3840x2160 Low: average 50 FPS. Medium: average 39 FPS, minimum 33 FPS, maximum 45 FPS. High: average 31 FPS. Ultra: average 24 FPS. No preset reaches 60 FPS; Low comes closest at 50 FPS.

The FPS ranges show a clear pattern. At 1080p Medium, the spread between minimum (91 FPS) and maximum (123 FPS) is 32 FPS. At 1440p Medium, the spread is 21 FPS (60 to 81 FPS). At 4K Medium, the spread is 12 FPS (33 to 45 FPS). The narrowing range with increasing resolution suggests the system becomes more consistently GPU-bound at higher pixel counts.

How This Combo Ranks

The Intel Core i5-9400 and Intel Arc B570 combination ranks 2980 out of 3707 tested combos in Fivem. This places the system in the lower portion of the database, near the 20th percentile, indicating that while the combo is playable at 1080p and 1440p with reduced settings, many other tested combinations outperform it.

The ranking reflects the CPU's modest position at the 47th percentile of all CPUs and the GPU's 65th percentile standing, but the game's multi-player workload may favor other hardware. The CPU's nearest rivals include the Intel Core i7-1068NG7, Intel Core i7-10710U, AMD Ryzen 5 PRO 1500, and Intel Core i3-10305, all within a 0.4% delta of the i5-9400's average score. The GPU's nearest rivals are the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Mobile, Intel Arc A750, NVIDIA Quadro M4000M, and AMD Radeon R9 M390X, all within a 0.5% delta of the Arc B570's average score.

Given the 3707 total combos in the database, a rank of 2980 means approximately 80% of tested combinations deliver better Fivem performance. However, the measured data shows this specific combo still meets the 60 FPS threshold at 1080p across all presets and at 1440p on Low and Medium. The rank does not indicate unplayability; it places the combo in a competitive but not top-tier position within the database.
