Fivem

# How This Combo Ranks

The AMD Ryzen 7 9700F paired with the Intel Arc B570 lands at rank 2396 out of 3005 tested combos in Fivem. That places this configuration in the lower third of all tested systems, a notable result given the hardware involved. The CPU itself sits in the 94th percentile among all tested processors, while the GPU ranks in the 65th percentile among all tested graphics cards — so the combination of a top-tier CPU with a mid-range GPU produces a system that underperforms relative to what the individual components might suggest.

The rank of 2396 out of 3005 means roughly 609 combos tested slower than this one, while about 2395 combos delivered better performance in Fivem specifically. This is a game that appears heavily dependent on both components working in concert, and the data shows this pairing struggles to climb the ladder despite the CPU's strong standing. The benchmark results indicate that the Arc B570 becomes the limiting factor in most scenarios, pulling the overall ranking down from what the 9700F alone might achieve.

Interestingly, the CPU's nearest rivals — the AMD Ryzen 9 7940HX, Intel Core i7-14700KF, AMD Ryzen 9 7950X, and Intel Core i7-14700K — all score within 0.9% of the 9700F in average benchmark scores. This suggests the processor is competitive with high-end alternatives, yet the combo rank tells a different story. The bottleneck lies elsewhere, and the measured FPS data confirms that the GPU is the primary constraint in Fivem's gameplay.

GPU Role

The Intel Arc B570 brings 10 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 160-bit bus, delivering 380.0 GB/s of bandwidth. Its base and boost clocks are both locked at 2500 MHz, with memory running at 2375 MHz (19 Gbps effective). These specifications position the card as a capable mid-range option, but Fivem's demands at higher presets quickly expose its limits.

Looking at the measured FPS data, the GPU's role becomes clear. At 1080p Low, the combo achieves 136 FPS on average. Dropping to 1080p Ultra cuts that to 67 FPS — a reduction of over half. The pattern holds across resolutions: the GPU's rendering capacity directly dictates the frame rates, and the 9700F's eight cores and 16 threads are rarely the constraint in these scenarios.

The Arc B570's 2304 shading units, 144 TMUs, and 80 ROPs provide a baseline that handles 1080p gaming well, but 4K Ultra proves too demanding. At 3840x2160 Ultra, the average FPS falls to 24 — barely playable. The 10 GB VRAM capacity is sufficient for most Fivem scenarios, but the 160-bit bus width limits memory bandwidth compared to wider implementations. The 380.0 GB/s bandwidth is adequate for 1080p and 1440p, but 4K workloads stress the memory subsystem significantly.

The GPU's passmark G3D score of 14195 and percentile rank of 65 among all GPUs indicate it outperforms roughly two-thirds of tested graphics cards. Yet in Fivem, the game's engine appears to favor raw rasterization throughput, and the Arc B570's 11.52 TFLOPS FP32 performance is the ceiling that determines the final frame rates.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The measured data provides a comprehensive view of performance across three resolutions and four settings presets. Starting at 3840x2160, the combo averages 50 FPS on Low, 39 FPS on Medium (with a minimum of 33 and maximum of 45), 31 FPS on High, and 24 FPS on Ultra. The Medium preset at 4K is the only one with recorded minimum and maximum values, showing a tight range of 12 FPS between the worst and best frames.

Moving to 2560x1440, the averages improve substantially: 89 FPS on Low, 71 FPS on Medium (minimum 60, maximum 81), 56 FPS on High, and 44 FPS on Ultra. The Medium preset again shows a 21 FPS range between minimum and maximum, indicating more variance than the 4K results.

At 1920x1080, the combo delivers its best numbers: 136 FPS on Low, 107 FPS on Medium (minimum 91, maximum 123), 86 FPS on High, and 67 FPS on Ultra. The 1080p Medium range spans 32 FPS, the widest variance in the dataset, suggesting the game's engine fluctuates more at lower resolutions where the CPU has more headroom.

The progression from Low to Ultra at each resolution shows consistent degradation: at 1080p, the drop from Low to Ultra is 69 FPS; at 1440p, it's 45 FPS; at 4K, it's 26 FPS. This pattern indicates that at higher resolutions, the GPU is already so constrained that preset changes have less absolute impact on frame rates.

Resolution Scaling

The FPS drop from 1080p to 4K reveals how the limiting component shifts across the resolution spectrum. At Low settings, the combo averages 136 FPS at 1080p, 89 FPS at 1440p, and 50 FPS at 4K. This represents a 35% drop from 1080p to 1440p, and another 44% drop from 1440p to 4K — a total reduction of 63% from the starting point.

At Medium settings, the scaling is similar: 107 FPS at 1080p, 71 FPS at 1440p, and 39 FPS at 4K. The percentage drops are 34% and 45% respectively, totaling 64% from 1080p to 4K. High settings show 86 FPS at 1080p, 56 FPS at 1440p, and 31 FPS at 4K — drops of 35% and 45%, totaling 64%.

Ultra settings follow the same trajectory: 67 FPS at 1080p, 44 FPS at 1440p, and 24 FPS at 4K. The percentage drops are 34% and 45%, totaling 64% across the full range. This remarkably consistent scaling pattern — roughly one-third loss from 1080p to 1440p, then another 45% loss to 4K — points to a GPU-bound scenario at all resolutions.

The Ryzen 7 9700F's 8 cores and 16 threads, with boost clocks up to 5.50 GHz, provide ample processing power for Fivem's multiplayer workloads. The CPU's passmark single-thread score of 4691 and multithread score of 36470 indicate strong performance across both lightly and heavily threaded tasks. Yet the resolution scaling shows that the Arc B570's rendering throughput is the definitive bottleneck, as the frame rate drops align precisely with the pixel count increases.

Settings Recommendations

Based on the measured FPS data, the Medium preset offers the best balance of visual quality and performance across all three resolutions. At 1080p Medium, the combo averages 107 FPS with a minimum of 91 FPS, ensuring smooth gameplay even during demanding multiplayer scenes. The 1440p Medium result of 71 FPS average with a 60 FPS minimum provides a solid experience for users with higher-resolution displays.

For users prioritizing maximum frame rates, 1080p Low delivers 136 FPS on average, which is ideal for competitive play where responsiveness matters more than visual fidelity. The jump from Low to Medium at 1080p costs 29 FPS (a 21% reduction) but likely provides noticeably better visuals, making Medium the recommended starting point.

At 1440p, High settings average 56 FPS, which dips below the 60 FPS threshold that many players consider the minimum for smooth gameplay. Medium at 1440p, with its 71 FPS average and 60 FPS minimum, maintains that threshold more reliably. Ultra settings at any resolution are difficult to recommend: 4K Ultra averages 24 FPS, 1440p Ultra averages 44 FPS, and 1080p Ultra averages 67 FPS — the latter being the only Ultra preset that remains consistently playable.

The data suggests that players should avoid Ultra presets at 1440p and above, as the frame rates fall below comfortable playability thresholds. High settings at 1080p (86 FPS average) are a viable alternative for those who want improved visuals over Medium without the performance hit of Ultra.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 7 9700F, built on the Zen 5 architecture (Granite Ridge codename) with a 4 nm process from TSMC, provides the computational backbone for this combo. Its 8 cores and 16 threads operate at a base clock of 3.80 GHz, boosting up to 5.50 GHz. The CPU's 32 MB of shared L3 cache, along with 80 KB L1 and 1 MB L2 per core, ensures efficient data access for game logic and multiplayer networking.

The CPU's benchmark results demonstrate its capabilities: a passmark multithread score of 36470, single-thread score of 4691, and floating-point math score of 77955 place it in the 94th percentile among all CPUs. Its average benchmark score of 69996 puts it within 0.9% of the AMD Ryzen 9 7950X (69515), Intel Core i7-14700K (69355), and Intel Core i7-14700KF (70163), while edging out the AMD Ryzen 9 7940HX (69875) by 0.2%.

In Fivem, the CPU's role is evident in the frame rate consistency across resolutions. At 1080p, where the GPU has more headroom, the CPU's 8 cores handle the game's simulation and networking tasks without becoming a bottleneck. The 136 FPS at 1080p Low suggests the CPU can push frame rates well beyond what the GPU delivers at higher settings. However, the CPU's 65W TDP and dual-channel DDR5 memory support with 89.6 GB/s bandwidth keep power and memory constraints in check.

The CPU's passmark data compression score of 421988 and encryption score of 21488 indicate strong performance in data-intensive tasks, which is relevant for Fivem's multiplayer environment where player data and world state updates are frequent. The extended instructions score of 33688 and random string sorting score of 45890 further suggest the CPU handles varied workloads efficiently. Yet the measured FPS data shows that even with this capable CPU, the Arc B570's 150W TDP and 11.52 TFLOPS FP32 throughput define the performance ceiling in Fivem, making the GPU the definitive limiting factor in this pairing.
