Fivem

The AMD Ryzen 9 9900X and Intel Arc B570 combination presents a distinct performance profile in Fivem, characterized by a high-end CPU paired with a mid-range GPU. The data indicates that the 12-core, 24-thread processor significantly outpaces the graphics card in most scenarios, leading to a system where graphical settings and resolution have a pronounced impact on frame rates. This analysis breaks down the measured performance to provide clear guidance on how to best utilize this specific hardware pairing.

Settings Recommendations

The optimal settings for this combo depend heavily on the target resolution, with the data showing a clear trade-off between visual fidelity and frame rate. At 1920x1080, the High preset delivers an average of 86 FPS, which is a strong baseline for smooth gameplay. However, the Medium preset at 107 FPS provides a substantial 24% performance uplift over High, making it the superior choice for competitive play or for users who prioritize frame rate consistency over minor graphical improvements. While Low produces the highest average at 136 FPS, the jump from Medium to Low is less impactful (a 27% increase) than the jump from High to Medium, meaning Medium offers the best balance of visual quality and performance at this resolution.

For 2560x1440, the situation shifts. The High preset drops to an average of 56 FPS, which is playable but not ideal for fast-paced action. The Medium preset, at 71 FPS, becomes the recommended choice here, providing a 27% performance increase over High and maintaining a frame rate that is generally considered smooth. The Low preset achieves 89 FPS, but the visual sacrifice at this resolution is more noticeable. Therefore, at 1440p, Medium is the sweet spot, offering a 71 FPS average that balances detail and responsiveness.

At 4K (3840x2160), the GPU becomes the primary limiting factor. The High preset manages only 31 FPS, which is below the threshold for a comfortable experience. Even the Medium preset, at 39 FPS, is marginal. The Low preset is the only viable option for 4K, producing an average of 50 FPS. This comes with significant visual compromises, but it is the only way to achieve a frame rate that approaches playability at this resolution. The data suggests that 4K is not a practical target for this combo in Fivem unless users are willing to accept the visual quality of the Low preset. Consequently, the best experience is achieved by using Medium settings at 1080p or 1440p, where the frame rates are high enough to fully utilize the system's potential.

These deltas are minimal, indicating the B570 performs on par with these specific cards in general benchmarks.

Q: Does the Ryzen 9 9900X bottleneck the Intel Arc B570 in Fivem?

A: The benchmark results suggest that the CPU is not the primary bottleneck except at lower resolutions and settings. At 1080p with Low settings, the system achieves 136 FPS, which is a high frame rate. However, the performance drops significantly as resolution increases (to 50 FPS at 4K Low), indicating that the GPU becomes the limiting factor at higher graphical loads.

Q: What is the performance difference between the High and Ultra presets at 1440p?

A: The data shows a substantial difference. The High preset at 2560x1440 produces an average of 56 FPS, while the Ultra preset drops to 44 FPS. This represents a 21% decrease in frame rate when moving from High to Ultra, making the Ultra preset a less attractive option for this resolution.

A: The Ryzen 9 9900X has an average benchmark score of 57,498. The Intel Core i9-14900 has an average score of 58,115, which is 1.1% higher. This means the i9-14900 is slightly faster in overall synthetic benchmarks, a difference that is likely negligible in real-world gaming scenarios.

Q: With 10 GB of VRAM, are there any concerns for Fivem at high settings?

A: The measured FPS data suggests that VRAM is not a direct limiting factor in the tested scenarios. The performance drops from 86 FPS at 1080p High to 31 FPS at 4K High are more consistent with the GPU's compute and bandwidth limitations rather than a VRAM capacity issue. The 380.0 GB/s memory bandwidth is a more likely constraint at higher resolutions.

Resolution Scaling

The FPS data reveals a clear and expected trend: performance degrades as resolution increases. At the Low settings preset, the average frame rate scales from 136 FPS at 1920x1080, to 89 FPS at 2560x1440, and finally to 50 FPS at 3840x2160. This represents a 35% drop from 1080p to 1440p and a further 44% drop from 1440p to 4K. This steep decline indicates that the Intel Arc B570 is heavily taxed by the increase in pixel count.

This scaling pattern points to the GPU as the primary limiting component in this configuration. The Ryzen 9 9900X, with its high single-thread score of 1,286 in 3dmark and a Cinebench R23 single-core score of 2,253, has ample headroom to feed frames to the GPU. As the resolution increases, the demand on the GPU's shading units, texture units, and memory bandwidth grows, and the B570's 11.52 TFLOPS of FP32 performance and 380.0 GB/s of bandwidth become the constraining factors. The CPU's role diminishes, and the frame rate becomes a direct reflection of the GPU's rendering capabilities. The fact that the FPS drops by over 60% from 1080p Low to 4K Low strongly suggests that the system is firmly in a GPU-bound state at higher resolutions.

How This Combo Ranks

The data positions this specific combination as a mid-to-low tier performer in the overall database for Fivem. The combo rank for this pairing is 2,396 out of 3,005 tested combinations. This places it in the lower 20th percentile of all tested systems, indicating that while it is not the weakest, many other CPU-GPU pairings deliver superior performance in this game.

The ranking is a composite of the CPU and GPU capabilities. The Ryzen 9 9900X is a top-tier processor, ranking in the 92nd percentile against all CPUs in the database. However, the Intel Arc B570 ranks in only the 65th percentile against all GPUs. The combination's overall rank is thus dragged down significantly by the GPU's relative position. This suggests that in Fivem, a game that appears to be graphically intensive at higher settings, the GPU's performance ceiling is the main factor limiting the system's overall standing. The data implies that to improve this combo's rank, a more powerful GPU would be necessary, as the CPU has significant performance headroom.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 9 9900X is a formidable processor built on the Zen 5 architecture with a 4 nm process. It features 12 cores and 24 threads, with a base clock of 4.40 GHz and a boost clock of 5.60 GHz. This configuration results in exceptional multi-threaded and single-threaded performance, as evidenced by its Cinebench R23 scores of 32,172 (multi-core) and 2,253 (single-core). Its 64 MB of L3 cache and support for DDR5 memory with 89.6 GB/s of bandwidth provide a robust foundation for gaming workloads.

In the context of Fivem, the CPU's role appears to be that of a stable and powerful foundation that rarely becomes a bottleneck. The evidence for this is the significant FPS drop when moving from 1080p to 4K. At 1080p Low, the system hits 136 FPS, a number that could be influenced by CPU performance. However, at 4K Low, the FPS falls to 50, a 63% reduction that cannot be attributed to the CPU. Instead, it shows that the GPU is the limiting factor. The CPU's high single-thread performance ensures that even at lower resolutions, where the CPU has more work to do relative to the GPU, it can maintain high frame rates. The data suggests that the 9900X is more than capable of supporting a more powerful GPU in this game, as its performance headroom is substantial.

Measured FPS Breakdown

Here is the complete breakdown of the measured average frame rates for this combination:

• 1920x1080:
• Low: 136 FPS
• Medium: 107 FPS (min 91, max 123)
• High: 86 FPS
• Ultra: 67 FPS

• 2560x1440:
• Low: 89 FPS
• Medium: 71 FPS (min 60, max 81)
• High: 56 FPS
• Ultra: 44 FPS

• 3840x2160:
• Low: 50 FPS
• Medium: 39 FPS (min 33, max 45)
• High: 31 FPS
• Ultra: 24 FPS

The data shows a consistent pattern across all resolutions. The gap between the Low and Ultra presets is substantial, with the Ultra preset often delivering less than half the frame rate of the Low preset. For example, at 1440p, Low yields 89 FPS while Ultra yields 44 FPS. The Medium and High presets sit predictably between these extremes. The minimum FPS data points, available for the Medium preset, show that frame pacing is relatively stable, with the 1080p minimum being 91 FPS and the 4K minimum being 33 FPS. This suggests that the experience is consistent without major stutters, even when the average frame rate is low.

GPU Role

The Intel Arc B570 is a mid-range graphics card based on the Xe2-HPG architecture, manufactured on a 5 nm process. It has 2,304 shading units, 144 TMUs, and 80 ROPs. The card is equipped with 10 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 160-bit bus, providing a bandwidth of 380.0 GB/s. Its core clocks are set at 2500 MHz for both base and boost. These specifications result in a theoretical FP32 performance of 11.52 TFLOPS.

The GPU's role in this combo is the primary determinant of overall performance, especially at higher resolutions. The benchmark data for the B570 shows it ranks in the 65th percentile of all GPUs, with an average score of 20,556. It is almost perfectly matched with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Mobile, which is 0.1% faster, and the Intel Arc A750, which is 0.1% slower. This places its raw compute capability in a specific performance tier.

In Fivem, this translates to the observed frame rates. At 1080p, the GPU can handle the load well, achieving over 100 FPS on Medium settings. However, as the resolution increases to 4K, the GPU's 380 GB/s memory bandwidth and 11.52 TFLOPS compute power become insufficient to maintain high frame rates, leading to the dramatic drop to 31 FPS on High settings. The data indicates that the GPU's performance ceiling is the main reason this combo ranks at 2,396 out of 3,005. The 10 GB of VRAM is sufficient for the tested settings, so the limitation is more likely due to the raw processing power and memory bandwidth of the B570, which are simply outpaced by the demands of 4K rendering.
