Fivem

The Intel Core i9-14900K and Intel Arc B570 combination delivers a highly variable experience in Fivem, heavily dependent on the target resolution. At 1080p, the pairing is exceptionally strong, clearing 60 FPS at every preset. Moving to 1440p, the system remains playable but requires a reduction in settings. At 4K, the hardware falls short of the 60 FPS threshold at all tested quality levels, indicating a clear performance ceiling for this specific CPU-GPU pairing in this multiplayer title.

Best Settings per Resolution

The data indicates the optimal preset for each resolution, defined as the most demanding configuration that maintains an average frame rate at or above 60 FPS.

• 3840x2160 (4K): No preset achieves the 60 FPS target. The highest average recorded is 50 FPS at Low settings, which still falls below the playable threshold. Consequently, there is no "best setting" for this resolution as the system cannot sustain a playable frame rate at any quality level.
• 2560x1440 (1440p): The Medium preset is the optimal choice, delivering an average of 71 FPS. This setting provides a significant performance buffer above the 60 FPS target. While Low settings yield a higher average of 89 FPS, Medium offers a better balance of visual fidelity and performance, as it is the most demanding preset that still clears the threshold.
• 1920x1080 (1080p): The Ultra preset is the best setting, producing an average of 67 FPS. This demonstrates that the combination has enough headroom at 1080p to run the game at its highest visual quality while maintaining a smooth, playable experience. All other settings also exceed 60 FPS, but Ultra is the most demanding that remains playable.

CPU and GPU Roles

Analysis of the measured FPS scaling across resolutions and presets reveals how the workload shifts between the CPU and GPU.

The data shows a clear pattern where the GPU becomes the primary bottleneck as resolution increases. At 1080p with Low settings, the system achieves 136 FPS. When resolution increases to 1440p at the same Low settings, the average FPS drops by approximately 35% to 89 FPS. This trend continues at 4K, where the Low preset average falls to 50 FPS. This significant frame rate reduction with increasing pixel count indicates that the Intel Arc B570's rendering capabilities are the limiting factor at higher resolutions.

Conversely, the CPU's role is more pronounced at lower resolutions and higher settings. At 1080p, the difference between Low and Ultra presets is 69 FPS (from 136 down to 67). This substantial drop when increasing the preset suggests a growing load on the CPU for game logic and draw calls, though the Core i9-14900K with its 24 cores and 32 threads appears capable of handling the game's multi-threaded demands. The CPU's influence is also visible in the 1440p results, where the gap between Low and High settings is 33 FPS.

At 4K, the scaling between presets is compressed, with a 26 FPS difference between Low and Ultra. This compression confirms that the GPU is fully saturated at this resolution, and even reducing the settings to Low cannot alleviate the bottleneck enough to reach 60 FPS. The system's performance is therefore a combination of both components, with the GPU dominating at 4K and the CPU contributing more significantly to frame rate variance at 1080p and 1440p.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The following data provides the exact average, minimum, and maximum frame rates recorded for each resolution and settings combination.

• 3840x2160 (4K):
• Ultra: Average FPS of 24. This is the lowest performance tier, with no minimum or maximum values recorded.
• High: Average FPS of 31, with no minimum or maximum values recorded.
• Medium: Average FPS of 39, with a minimum of 33 and a maximum of 45 FPS. This shows a tight frame time window, indicating consistent performance.
• Low: Average FPS of 50, with no minimum or maximum values recorded.

• 2560x1440 (1440p):
• Ultra: Average FPS of 44, with no minimum or maximum values recorded.
• High: Average FPS of 56, with no minimum or maximum values recorded.
• Medium: Average FPS of 71, with a minimum of 60 and a maximum of 81 FPS. The minimum of exactly 60 FPS indicates that the system is just at the edge of the playable threshold during demanding scenes.
• Low: Average FPS of 89, with no minimum or maximum values recorded.

• 1920x1080 (1080p):
• Ultra: Average FPS of 67, with no minimum or maximum values recorded. This is the highest preset that remains playable.
• High: Average FPS of 86, with no minimum or maximum values recorded.
• Medium: Average FPS of 107, with a minimum of 91 and a maximum of 123 FPS. This wide range shows the game's variable load at this setting.
• Low: Average FPS of 136, with no minimum or maximum values recorded. This is the highest average FPS achieved in all tests.

FAQ

Q: Can this PC run Fivem at 4K resolution?

A: No, the data shows the system cannot maintain a playable frame rate at 3840x2160. The highest average FPS recorded at 4K is 50 on the Low preset, which is below the 60 FPS playable threshold. No settings combination achieves a playable result.

Q: What is the best settings preset for a smooth experience at 1440p?

A: The Medium preset is the best choice for 2560x1440, delivering an average of 71 FPS. It is the most demanding preset that stays above the 60 FPS target, with a recorded minimum of 60 FPS.

Q: Is the Ultra preset playable at 1080p?

A: Yes, the Ultra preset at 1920x1080 produces an average of 67 FPS, which is above the 60 FPS playable threshold. This is the highest quality setting that the combination can handle at this resolution.

Q: How does the average FPS scale from 1080p to 4K on the Low preset?

A: The average frame rate drops from 136 FPS at 1080p to 89 FPS at 1440p, and finally to 50 FPS at 4K. This represents a 63% reduction in average FPS from 1080p to 4K, highlighting the GPU's increasing bottleneck at higher resolutions.

Q: What performance can be expected at the Medium preset in 1440p?

A: At 2560x1440 with Medium settings, the system delivers an average of 71 FPS. The recorded minimum and maximum are 60 and 81 FPS, respectively, indicating that performance stays within a consistent range.

Q: Which component is the limiting factor for 4K performance?

A: The benchmark data indicates the GPU is the primary constraint at 4K. The average FPS remains below 60 even at the lowest settings, showing that the Intel Arc B570's rendering throughput cannot meet the demands of 4K resolution in Fivem, regardless of the CPU's capability.

The Verdict

Based on the verdictByResolution data, this PC can run Fivem, but its capability is strictly limited by resolution.

• 3840x2160: The system cannot run the game at a playable level. The verdict list shows no playable settings, and the best average FPS is 50 at Low, which is below the 60 FPS threshold.
• 2560x1440: The system can run the game, provided settings are adjusted. The playable settings are Low and Medium. The best average FPS is 71 on the Medium preset, which is a comfortable margin above the 60 FPS target.
• 1920x1080: The system can run the game at all tested settings. The playable settings include High, Low, Medium, and Ultra. The best average FPS is 67 on the Ultra preset, confirming it can handle the game at maximum visual quality with a playable frame rate.

How This Combo Ranks

The Intel Core i9-14900K and Intel Arc B570 combination ranks 2980th out of 3707 tested configurations for Fivem. This places the pairing in the lower half of the benchmark database, indicating that while it can deliver playable performance at 1080p and 1440p, it is not a high-performing combination for this specific game. The relatively low rank is consistent with the measured FPS data, which shows the system's inability to handle 4K resolution and its need for reduced settings at 1440p. This suggests that the GPU is a limiting factor when paired with the high-end CPU, holding the combination back from a stronger overall ranking.
