GPU Role

The AMD Radeon RX 570 is the limiting component in this pairing, and its specifications make that clear. With 4 GB of GDDR5 memory on a 256-bit bus, the card delivers 224.0 GB/s of bandwidth. The memory clock runs at 1750 MHz with 7 Gbps effective throughput. The GPU's base clock is 1168 MHz, boosting to 1244 MHz, and it houses 2048 shading units, 128 texture mapping units, and 32 ROPs. Its peak pixel rate is 39.81 GPixel/s, and texture rate reaches 159.2 GTexel/s, with FP32 compute at 5.095 TFLOPS.

In Fivem, the GPU's 4 GB memory capacity becomes a limiting factor at higher resolutions and settings. The data shows a steep performance cliff when moving from Low to Ultra settings at any resolution. At 1080p, the average FPS drops from 74.4 at Low to 38.1 at Ultra — a 48.8% reduction. This pattern is consistent with a GPU that runs out of memory bandwidth and fillrate as graphical demands increase.

The RX 570's 14 nm Polaris 20 chip, featuring 5,700 million transistors on a 232 mm² die, is a 2017-era design. Its GCN 4.0 architecture lacks dedicated ray tracing or tensor cores, which modern game engines increasingly utilize. The card supports DirectX 12 (12_0), OpenGL 4.6, and Vulkan 1.3, so it can run Fivem's engine, but the architectural age shows in demanding scenarios. The GPU's 74th percentile ranking among all GPUs, with an average benchmark score of 30158, places it near the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 (0.2% ahead) and AMD Radeon RX 7700 XT (0.2% ahead), per the nearest rival data.

For Fivem specifically, the GPU's role is to render a dense multiplayer environment with many dynamic objects and player models. The measured FPS indicates the RX 570 handles 1080p Low acceptably at 74.4 FPS, but the card's 4 GB frame buffer and 150 W TDP constrain performance as settings rise. The 224.0 GB/s bandwidth is sufficient for 1080p but becomes a bottleneck at 4K, where even Low settings yield only 30.9 FPS.

Resolution Scaling

The measured FPS data reveals how this combo scales across resolutions. At 1080p Low, the system delivers 74.4 FPS. Moving to 1440p Low, the average drops to 50.3 FPS — a 32.4% reduction. At 4K Low, the average falls to 30.9 FPS, which is 58.5% lower than the 1080p Low result. This scaling pattern indicates the GPU is the primary constraint, as the CPU's 12 cores and 24 threads have ample headroom.

For High settings, the degradation is even steeper: 49.7 FPS at 1080p, 33.6 FPS at 1440p (32.4% drop), and 17.6 FPS at 4K (64.6% drop). The Medium settings follow a similar trajectory: 61.9 FPS at 1080p, 41.7 FPS at 1440p (32.6% drop), and 23.0 FPS at 4K (62.8% drop). Ultra settings show the most severe scaling: 38.1 FPS at 1080p, 22.5 FPS at 1440p (40.9% drop), and 14.9 FPS at 4K (60.9% drop).

The resolution scaling behavior suggests that at 1080p, the system is partially CPU-bound in Low settings, where the 74.4 FPS result approaches what the CPU can feed. However, as resolution increases, the GPU's 4 GB memory and 224.0 GB/s bandwidth become the limiting factors. The gap between 1080p and 1440p results is consistently around 32-41%, which is larger than the pixel count difference (2.25x) would suggest if the GPU were perfectly scaling. This indicates memory bandwidth saturation.

At 4K, the results are uniformly low across all settings — from 30.9 FPS at Low to 14.9 FPS at Ultra. The narrow spread between Low and Ultra at 4K (about 2x) compared to 1080p (about 1.95x) suggests the GPU is hitting a hard memory or fillrate ceiling regardless of graphical settings. The RX 570's 150 W TDP and 5.095 TFLOPS FP32 compute are simply insufficient for 4K rendering in Fivem's multiplayer environment.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The measured FPS data provides a complete picture of this combo's performance across resolutions and settings.

1920x1080: The best-case scenario for this pairing. At Low settings, the average FPS is 74.4, which is playable for most multiplayer scenarios. Medium settings yield 61.9 FPS, High settings drop to 49.7 FPS, and Ultra settings fall to 38.1 FPS. The spread from Low to Ultra is 36.3 FPS, showing that settings have a significant impact at this resolution.

2560x1440: Performance degrades noticeably. Low settings average 50.3 FPS, which is still usable but below the 60 FPS threshold many players prefer. Medium settings produce 41.7 FPS, High settings drop to 33.6 FPS, and Ultra settings fall to 22.5 FPS. The gap between Low and Ultra here is 27.8 FPS, a slightly narrower absolute spread than at 1080p, indicating GPU saturation.

3840x2160: The results are marginal at best. Low settings average 30.9 FPS, which dips below 30 FPS territory for demanding scenes. Medium settings produce 23.0 FPS, High settings fall to 17.6 FPS, and Ultra settings bottom out at 14.9 FPS. The spread from Low to Ultra is only 16.0 FPS, confirming that the GPU is fully saturated at 4K regardless of settings.

The data shows a consistent pattern: settings matter most at 1080p, where the CPU can still feed the GPU effectively, and matter least at 4K, where the GPU's memory bandwidth and compute capacity are the sole constraints. The Ryzen 9 9900X's strong single-thread performance (1286 in 3DMark single-thread, 4672 in PassMark single-thread) ensures the CPU is never the bottleneck in this pairing, even at 1080p Low.

How This Combo Ranks

In the Fivem benchmark database, the AMD Ryzen 9 9900X + AMD Radeon RX 570 combination ranks 1688th out of 1792 tested combos. This places it in the bottom 5.8% of all configurations tested for this game. The ranking reflects the significant mismatch between the high-end CPU and the entry-level GPU from 2017.

The CPU alone performs exceptionally well — the Ryzen 9 9900X sits in the 94th percentile among all CPUs, with an average benchmark score of 54450. Its nearest rivals include the AMD Ryzen 9 9900X3D (54681, 0.4% higher), Intel Core i7-14700F (54097, 0.7% lower), Intel Core Ultra 5 245K (55304, 1.5% higher), and Intel Core Ultra 5 245KF (55421, 1.8% higher). This places the 9900X in a tight competitive cluster at the top of the CPU hierarchy.

The GPU, however, drags the combo down. The RX 570's average benchmark score of 30158 places it in the 74th percentile among GPUs, but its nearest rivals — NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 (30109, 0.2% lower), AMD Radeon RX 7700 XT (30097, 0.2% lower), NVIDIA Tesla M60 (29969, 0.6% lower), and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Mobile (29928, 0.8% lower) — are all modern or professional parts that outperform it in real workloads despite similar synthetic scores.

The rank of 1688 out of 1792 combos in Fivem indicates that this pairing is poorly suited for the game's demands. Fivem is a multiplayer modification that requires consistent frame delivery in dense urban environments with many players. The RX 570's 4 GB memory is insufficient for High and Ultra settings at 1440p and above, and even at 1080p Ultra, the 38.1 FPS average falls short of the smooth experience most players expect.

This combo's ranking is a direct consequence of the GPU's age and capacity constraints. The CPU's processing power is effectively wasted in this configuration, as the GPU cannot translate the 9900X's computational headroom into higher frame rates. For Fivem players, the data suggests that pairing this CPU with a more modern GPU would yield substantially better results, as the measured FPS at all settings and resolutions is GPU-limited.
