Fivem

Fivem, the multiplayer modification platform built on Grand Theft Auto V, places a heavy load on both CPU and GPU depending on the scene. The benchmark data for the Intel Core Ultra 7 270K Plus paired with the Intel Arc B570 shows a system that is clearly capable of delivering smooth gameplay at mainstream resolutions, but it hits a hard wall at 4K. The verdict is straightforward: this combination is a solid 1080p and 1440p performer, but it cannot maintain 60 FPS at 3840x2160 under any preset tested. The data indicates the Arc B570 becomes the primary bottleneck as resolution scales, while the 24-core Ultra 7 270K provides ample headroom for the CPU-intensive aspects of multiplayer sessions.

Best Settings per Resolution

The most demanding preset that maintains an average of at least 60 FPS varies significantly by resolution. The data shows that the system’s performance ceiling drops off sharply as pixel count increases.

At 1920x1080, the system clears the 60 FPS threshold with ease across all tested settings. The "Ultra" preset, which is the most demanding option available, delivers an average of 67 FPS. This is the highest quality setting that remains playable, making it the definitive choice for 1080p users who want maximum visual fidelity without sacrificing frame rate.

At 2560x1440, the performance margin narrows considerably. The "Ultra" preset drops to an average of 44 FPS, which falls below the playable threshold. The "High" preset also misses the mark with an average of 56 FPS. The best setting that holds above 60 FPS is "Medium," which produces an average of 71 FPS. This is the optimal balance for 1440p, offering a smooth experience with moderate visual quality.

At 3840x2160, the system fails to reach 60 FPS on any preset. The highest average FPS recorded is 50 on "Low" settings, with "High" at 31 FPS, "Medium" at 39 FPS, and "Ultra" at 24 FPS. There is no "best setting" here, as none of the configurations achieve the playable threshold. Users targeting 4K would need to significantly reduce resolution scaling or accept a sub-60 FPS experience.

Similar Performance Alternatives

The benchmark data places this specific CPU and GPU combination near several other hardware pairings in terms of overall performance. These nearest rivals offer a reference point for what similar frame rates might look like with different components.

For the Intel Core Ultra 7 270K Plus, the average benchmark score is 93,785, which puts it in the 96th percentile of all CPUs. Its closest rival is the Intel Xeon 6520P, which scores 93,786, a delta of 0%. This indicates essentially identical CPU performance. The AMD EPYC 4564P scores 95,183, which is 1.5% higher, while the AMD EPYC 9175F scores 95,615 (1.9% higher), and the AMD EPYC 4565P scores 95,764 (2.1% higher). These differences are minimal, suggesting that any of these CPUs would deliver nearly indistinguishable frame rates in Fivem, where the GPU often becomes the limiting factor.

For the Intel Arc B570, the average benchmark score is 20,556, placing it in the 65th percentile of all GPUs. Its performance is closely matched by the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Mobile, which scores 20,534, a 0.1% delta. The Intel Arc A750 scores 20,582, which is 0.1% lower than the B570. The NVIDIA Quadro M4000M scores 20,480 (0.4% higher), and the AMD Radeon R9 M390X scores 20,662 (0.5% lower). In practical terms, swapping the Arc B570 for any of these GPUs would result in a very similar gaming experience, with frame rate differences likely staying within a few percent.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The measured FPS data provides a detailed look at how the system scales across resolutions and presets. All values are averages unless otherwise specified.

At 1920x1080, the system is clearly at its most comfortable. The "Low" preset yields an average of 136 FPS, which is the highest recorded for this configuration. "Medium" averages 107 FPS, with minimum and maximum values of 91 and 123 FPS, respectively. "High" drops to 86 FPS, while "Ultra" still manages a respectable 67 FPS. This resolution shows a linear decline in performance as settings increase, but every preset remains well above the 60 FPS playable threshold.

At 2560x1440, the impact of higher pixel counts becomes evident. "Low" produces an average of 89 FPS, a significant drop from the 1080p result. "Medium" averages 71 FPS, with a minimum of 60 FPS and maximum of 81 FPS, indicating that frame times are consistent enough to stay at or above the playable threshold. "High" falls to 56 FPS, and "Ultra" drops further to 44 FPS. The gap between "Medium" and "High" is 15 FPS, showing that the GPU is starting to struggle with the increased shading and texture work.

At 3840x2160, the system is overwhelmed. "Low" averages 50 FPS, which is the only setting that comes close to 60 FPS. "Medium" averages 39 FPS, with a minimum of 33 FPS and a maximum of 45 FPS, showing substantial frame pacing instability. "High" averages 31 FPS, and "Ultra" averages just 24 FPS. The performance degradation from 1440p to 4K is severe, with the "Medium" preset dropping by 32 FPS, or roughly 45%. This confirms that the Arc B570’s 10 GB of GDDR6 memory and 380.0 GB/s bandwidth are insufficient for the demands of 4K rendering in this game.

The Verdict

Based on the verdictByResolution data, this PC can run Fivem, but its playability is strictly limited by resolution. The playable threshold is defined as an average of 60 FPS or higher.

At 1920x1080, the system is fully capable. The data shows that all four presets—Low, Medium, High, and Ultra—are playable. The best settings are "Ultra," which delivers an average of 67 FPS. This is the ideal configuration for users who want the highest quality visuals at the most common gaming resolution.

At 2560x1440, the system can still run the game, but with fewer options. Only "Low" and "Medium" presets are playable. The best setting is "Medium," which averages 71 FPS. Users who prefer "High" or "Ultra" will experience average frame rates of 56 and 44 FPS, respectively, which are below the playable threshold and may result in noticeable stutter.

At 3840x2160, the system cannot run the game at 60 FPS on any setting. The verdict data lists no playable settings, and the best average FPS is 50 on "Low." This means 4K gaming is not viable with this hardware combination, and users should stick to 1440p or lower.

CPU and GPU Roles

The benchmark data reveals a clear division of labor between the Intel Core Ultra 7 270K Plus and the Intel Arc B570, with the GPU becoming the dominant factor as resolution increases.

At 1920x1080, the CPU is heavily involved. The difference between "Low" (136 FPS) and "Ultra" (67 FPS) is 69 FPS, indicating that both CPU and GPU are being pushed. The Ultra 7 270K, with its 24 cores and 24 threads, likely has enough single-thread performance to feed the GPU at this resolution, but the Arc B570’s 11.52 TFLOPS of FP32 performance becomes the limiting factor at higher presets. The CPU’s 36 MB of shared L3 cache probably helps maintain consistent frame times in multiplayer environments.

At 2560x1440, the GPU’s role becomes more pronounced. The performance gap between "Low" (89 FPS) and "Ultra" (44 FPS) is 45 FPS, a smaller absolute difference than at 1080p, but the relative slowdown is steeper. The CPU is likely still capable of keeping up, as its Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 44,253 indicates strong multi-threaded performance. However, the Arc B570’s 160-bit memory bus and 380.0 GB/s bandwidth are beginning to choke, as evidenced by the "Medium" preset’s minimum FPS of exactly 60, which is right at the edge of the playable threshold.

At 3840x2160, the GPU is unequivocally the bottleneck. The CPU’s performance is largely irrelevant here, as the Arc B570 cannot render enough frames to stress the Ultra 7 270K. The "Low" preset’s 50 FPS average is a 44% drop from the 1440p "Low" result, while the "Ultra" preset’s 24 FPS is a 45% drop from 1440p. This scaling pattern is characteristic of a GPU-limited scenario. The CPU’s Passmark single-thread score of 5,068 and multi-thread score of 68,574 are more than sufficient for the game’s logic and physics, but the GPU’s 10 GB memory capacity and 200.0 GPixel/s pixel rate are simply not enough for 4K.
