Fivem

The Intel Core Ultra 5 225 and Intel Arc B570 combination delivers a solid 1080p experience in Fivem, but it struggles significantly at 4K. Benchmark data shows this pairing is fully capable of exceeding the 60 FPS threshold at 1080p across all tested presets, including Ultra, while 1440p remains playable at Medium settings. The system falls short of playability at 3840x2160, where no tested preset reaches 60 FPS.

Similar Performance Alternatives

The Intel Core Ultra 5 225 sits in a tight performance cluster, with its nearest rivals all within 0.5% of its average benchmark score. The AMD Ryzen 5 5600F matches the Ultra 5 225 almost exactly, showing a 0% deltaPct. The AMD Ryzen 5 5500X3D trails by just 0.2%, while the AMD Ryzen AI 7 PRO 450 and Intel Core i9-12900T are 0.4% and 0.5% behind, respectively. For Fivem, any of these CPUs would deliver nearly identical frame rates, as the game’s performance ceiling at lower resolutions is more dependent on the GPU.

On the graphics side, the Intel Arc B570’s nearest rivals present an interesting mix. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Mobile is essentially a match, with a 0.1% higher average score. The Intel Arc A750 is nearly identical, trailing by just 0.1%. Two older mobile/workstation parts—the NVIDIA Quadro M4000M and AMD Radeon R9 M390X—also appear in the same performance band, with deltas of 0.4% and -0.5% respectively. In practical terms, the Arc B570 should produce frame rates in Fivem that are indistinguishable from these alternatives, though driver-specific behavior in this multiplayer title could cause minor deviations.

The CPU’s 85th percentile ranking among all processors and the GPU’s 65th percentile ranking indicate a system that is well above average overall, but the GPU is the more limiting factor for Fivem’s higher resolution presets.

CPU and GPU Roles

The scaling pattern in Fivem reveals a clear GPU-bound workload at higher resolutions, with the CPU providing sufficient headroom. Moving from 1920x1080 to 2560x1440 at High settings drops the average frame rate from 86 to 56 FPS, a 34.9% decrease. The jump from 2560x1440 to 3840x2160 at High settings further reduces performance from 56 to 31 FPS, a 44.6% drop. This steep decline as resolution increases points directly to the Arc B570 as the bottleneck, since the Core Ultra 5 225’s single-thread performance remains consistent regardless of pixel count.

At 1080p, the CPU matters more. The difference between Low and Ultra presets at 1920x1080 is 69 FPS (136 vs. 67), meaning the graphics card is still the primary driver even at the lowest settings. However, the Ultra 5 225’s strong single-core score of 3655 in Cinebench R23 ensures that Fivem’s physics and multiplayer logic are handled without introducing CPU-side frame drops. The game’s engine is known to favor high single-thread performance, and this processor’s 4.90 GHz boost clock supports that need.

The 1440p results show a more balanced load. At Medium settings, the system achieves 71 FPS average with a minimum of 60, indicating that both CPU and GPU are working in concert. Dropping to Low at 1440p yields 89 FPS, while Ultra falls to 44 FPS. This suggests that the Arc B570’s 10 GB of GDDR6 memory and 380.0 GB/s bandwidth are sufficient for 1440p Medium, but the card’s raw compute (11.52 TFLOPS FP32) becomes the limiting factor at higher presets.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the system performs strongly across all settings. Low settings produce an average of 136 FPS, which is the highest frame rate recorded in the entire dataset. Medium settings average 107 FPS, with minimums of 91 and maximums of 123 FPS. High settings deliver 86 FPS average, while Ultra maintains a playable 67 FPS average. All four presets at 1080p exceed the 60 FPS playability threshold, with the Ultra preset showing the smallest margin at 7 FPS above the threshold.

Moving to 2560x1440, performance drops noticeably. Low settings achieve 89 FPS average, which remains comfortable. Medium settings yield 71 FPS average with a minimum of 60 and maximum of 81, exactly hitting the playability floor at the lowest observed frame. High settings fall to 56 FPS average, below the 60 FPS threshold. Ultra settings produce 44 FPS average, which is not playable by the stated standard.

At 3840x2160, the system struggles across the board. Low settings average 50 FPS, Medium averages 39 FPS with a range of 33 to 45, High averages 31 FPS, and Ultra averages just 24 FPS. No 4K preset comes close to the 60 FPS target, with even the best option (Low) sitting 10 FPS short. The data shows a consistent pattern: every resolution increase costs roughly 30-45% of the frame rate, confirming the GPU’s dominance in this workload.

The combo ranks 2980th out of 3707 tested combinations for Fivem, placing it in the lower 20% of all possible pairings. This ranking reflects the fact that while the system handles 1080p well, it cannot push higher resolutions with demanding settings.

The Verdict

This PC can run Fivem, but the playable range depends heavily on resolution. At 1920x1080, the system clears the 60 FPS threshold at every preset: Low (136 FPS), Medium (107 FPS), High (86 FPS), and Ultra (67 FPS). This makes 1080p the definitive sweet spot, with enough headroom at Ultra to absorb frame drops during intense multiplayer scenarios.

At 2560x1440, playability is conditional. Low (89 FPS) and Medium (71 FPS) both exceed 60 FPS average, with Medium maintaining a minimum of exactly 60 FPS. High and Ultra fall short at 56 and 44 FPS respectively, meaning users must accept Medium as the ceiling for a smooth experience at this resolution.

At 3840x2160, the verdict is clear: this system cannot play Fivem at 60 FPS. The best result is Low at 50 FPS average, which is 10 FPS below the threshold. Medium (39 FPS), High (31 FPS), and Ultra (24 FPS) are all significantly below playable levels. Users targeting 4K need a more powerful GPU than the Arc B570.

The data indicates that the Core Ultra 5 225 is not the limiting factor, even at 4K. The CPU’s benchmark scores place it in the 85th percentile, and its nearest rivals show no meaningful performance gap. The Arc B570’s 65th percentile ranking and its 10 GB memory buffer are the constraints at higher resolutions.

Best Settings per Resolution

At 1920x1080, the most demanding preset that stays at or above 60 FPS is Ultra, which achieves an average of 67 FPS. This is the optimal choice for visual quality, as the system has 7 FPS of margin above the playability threshold. For users who prefer extra headroom, High at 86 FPS offers a substantial safety buffer.

At 2560x1440, the best playable preset is Medium, delivering 71 FPS average with a minimum of 60. This is the highest quality setting that maintains the 60 FPS floor. Low at 89 FPS is the alternative for those who want more performance margin, but Medium provides a balanced visual experience without sacrificing smoothness.

At 3840x2160, no preset meets the 60 FPS requirement. The closest option is Low at 50 FPS average, but this still falls short of the playability standard. Users should avoid 4K for Fivem with this hardware combination, as even the lowest settings cannot reach the target frame rate.
