Resolution Scaling

The measured FPS data reveals a clear trend of decreasing performance as resolution increases. At 1080p, the combo achieves 136 FPS on Low, 107 FPS on Medium, 86 FPS on High, and 67 FPS on Ultra. Moving to 1440p, the FPS drops to 89 on Low, 71 on Medium, 56 on High, and 44 on Ultra. At 4K, the performance further declines to 50 FPS on Low, 39 FPS on Medium, 31 FPS on High, and 24 FPS on Ultra.

The scaling from 1080p to 1440p shows an average FPS reduction of approximately 35% across settings. For example, Low settings drop from 136 to 89 FPS (a 34.6% decrease), while Ultra settings drop from 67 to 44 FPS (a 34.3% decrease). This consistent reduction suggests that the GPU is the primary limiting factor as resolution increases, since the CPU’s workload remains relatively constant regardless of resolution.

From 1440p to 4K, the FPS drops further by about 44% on average. Low settings go from 89 to 50 FPS (a 43.8% decrease), Medium from 71 to 39 FPS (a 45.1% decrease), High from 56 to 31 FPS (a 44.6% decrease), and Ultra from 44 to 24 FPS (a 45.5% decrease). This steeper decline indicates that at 4K, the GPU’s rendering load becomes significantly more demanding, and the Intel Arc B570’s 10 GB VRAM and 380.0 GB/s bandwidth are being pushed to their limits.

The data suggests that at 1080p, the system is more balanced, with the CPU able to keep up with the GPU’s output. However, at 1440p and especially 4K, the GPU becomes the clear bottleneck, as evidenced by the FPS scaling closely matching the pixel count increase. Users targeting higher resolutions should expect to lower settings to maintain playable frame rates.

How This Combo Ranks

The combination of the AMD Ryzen 7 3700X and Intel Arc B570 ranks 2396 out of 3005 tested combos in Fivem, placing it in the 20th percentile of all tested configurations. This rank indicates that the combo performs below the median of the database, which is consistent with the moderate FPS numbers observed across all resolutions and settings.

When compared to the CPU’s standalone percentile of 84 (meaning it outperforms 84% of all CPUs in synthetic benchmarks), the combo’s in-game rank of 2396/3005 is notably lower. This discrepancy suggests that the GPU is the limiting factor in this pairing, as the CPU is capable of higher performance in isolation. The GPU’s percentile of 65 (outperforming 65% of all GPUs) further supports this, as it is a mid-range component that may struggle with the demands of Fivem at higher settings.

The combo’s rank relative to other tested combos implies that users with this pairing will experience acceptable performance at 1080p with lower settings, but may need to compromise at higher resolutions or settings.

Low settings deliver 89 FPS, Medium settings produce 71 FPS (with a minimum of 60 and a maximum of 81), High settings yield 56 FPS, and Ultra settings drop to 44 FPS. The gap between Low and Ultra is 45 FPS, which is smaller than at 1080p, suggesting that the GPU is becoming more of a limiting factor as resolution increases.

At 3840x2160, the FPS values are significantly lower. Low settings achieve 50 FPS, Medium settings produce 39 FPS (with a minimum of 33 and a maximum of 45), High settings yield 31 FPS, and Ultra settings drop to 24 FPS. The difference between Low and Ultra is 26 FPS, which is the smallest gap across all resolutions, indicating that at 4K, the GPU is heavily constrained regardless of settings.

The data also shows that the Medium settings preset is the only one with recorded minimum and maximum FPS values, providing insight into frame time consistency. At 1080p Medium, the range is 91-123 FPS (a 32 FPS spread), at 1440p Medium it is 60-81 FPS (a 21 FPS spread), and at 4K Medium it is 33-45 FPS (a 12 FPS spread). This trend indicates that frame pacing becomes more consistent at higher resolutions, but at the cost of lower average FPS.

Settings Recommendations

Based on the measured FPS data, the optimal settings preset depends on the user’s target resolution and desired frame rate.

For users targeting 1080p, the Medium preset offers the best balance of performance and visual quality. With an average FPS of 107 and a minimum of 91, this preset ensures smooth gameplay that stays above the 60 FPS threshold. The High preset at 86 FPS is also viable, but the drop to 67 FPS at Ultra may be noticeable to users who prefer higher frame rates. The Low preset at 136 FPS is ideal for competitive play where maximum FPS is prioritized over visual fidelity.

At 1440p, the Low preset is the most practical choice, delivering 89 FPS average. The Medium preset at 71 FPS is still playable, but the minimum of 60 FPS indicates that there may be occasional dips below the 60 FPS mark. The High preset at 56 FPS falls below this threshold, and the Ultra preset at 44 FPS is not recommended for smooth gameplay. Users who prioritize visual quality over frame rate may choose Medium, but Low is the safest option for consistent performance.

At 4K, the data shows that even the Low preset only achieves 50 FPS average, which is below the 60 FPS threshold. The Medium preset at 39 FPS (with a minimum of 33) and the High preset at 31 FPS are playable but not ideal for fast-paced multiplayer. The Ultra preset at 24 FPS is not recommended, as it falls below the standard for smooth gaming. Users targeting 4K should consider lowering the resolution or accepting lower frame rates.

Overall, the Medium preset at 1080p provides the best experience, with a comfortable margin above 60 FPS and moderate visual quality. For higher resolutions, the Low preset is the most reliable choice, as it offers the highest FPS while maintaining playable performance.

GPU Role

The Intel Arc B570 is built on the Xe2-HPG architecture (Battlemage, Arc 5 family) using a 5 nm process at TSMC. It features 2304 shading units, 144 texture mapping units, and 80 render output units, along with 18 ray tracing cores. The GPU operates at a base and boost clock of 2500 MHz, with memory clocked at 2375 MHz (19 Gbps effective). It has 10 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 160-bit bus, providing 380.0 GB/s of bandwidth. The GPU’s compute capabilities include 11.52 TFLOPS of FP32 performance and 23.04 TFLOPS of FP16 performance (2:1 ratio).

In Fivem, the GPU’s role becomes increasingly important at higher resolutions and settings. The data shows that at 1080p, the GPU is not the primary bottleneck, as the FPS scales significantly with settings (from 136 at Low to 67 at Ultra). This indicates that the CPU is able to keep up with the GPU’s output until the GPU’s workload becomes more demanding. However, at 1440p and 4K, the GPU’s limitations become apparent, with 4K Ultra producing only 24 FPS.

The GPU’s 10 GB VRAM and 380.0 GB/s bandwidth are sufficient for 1080p gaming, as evidenced by the strong FPS numbers at that resolution. However, at 4K, the increased texture and shading demands may exceed the VRAM capacity, leading to the sharp FPS drops observed. The GPU’s Passmark G3D score of 14195 and 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 2649 place it in the 65th percentile among all GPUs, indicating it is a mid-range performer.

The nearest GPU rivals include the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Mobile (avg score 20534, deltaPct 0.1), the Intel Arc A750 (avg score 20582, deltaPct -0.1), the NVIDIA Quadro M4000M (avg score 20480, deltaPct 0.4), and the AMD Radeon R9 M390X (avg score 20662, deltaPct -0.5). The Arc B570’s avg benchmark score of 20556 is nearly identical to these rivals, with deltas under 0.5%. This suggests that in synthetic benchmarks, the GPU performs on par with these alternatives, though its gaming performance in Fivem may vary.

The GPU’s ray tracing capabilities (18 RT cores) are not likely to be utilized in Fivem, which is not a ray tracing title. However, the GPU’s support for DirectX 12 Ultimate, Vulkan 1.4, and OpenGL 4.6 ensures compatibility with modern APIs. The GPU’s 150 W TDP and dual-slot design require a 450 W power supply, which is a consideration for system builders. Overall, the Intel Arc B570 provides adequate performance for 1080p gaming in Fivem, but users seeking higher resolutions should expect to compromise on settings.
