FAQ

Q: What is the overall performance ranking of this CPU and GPU pairing in Fivem?

A: The Intel Core i5-14600KF paired with the Intel Arc B570 ranks 2396 out of 3005 tested combos in Fivem, placing it in the lower-middle portion of the database for this specific game.

Q: How does this combo perform at 1080p with Low settings?

A: At 1920x1080 with Low settings, the combo achieves an average of 136 FPS, which is the highest measured result across all resolution and settings combinations in the data.

Q: What is the difference in average FPS between Medium and Ultra settings at 1440p?

A: At 2560x1440, Medium settings deliver 71 FPS average, while Ultra settings drop to 44 FPS average. That is a 27 FPS difference, representing a 38% performance loss when moving from Medium to Ultra.

Q: Is the CPU or GPU more likely to be the limiting factor at 4K resolution?

A: The data suggests the GPU becomes the primary constraint at 3840x2160. At 4K High settings, the average FPS drops to 31, while at 1080p High it reaches 86 FPS — a 64% reduction that indicates graphics processing pressure scales heavily with resolution.

Q: Does this combo ever fall below 60 FPS at 1080p?

A: Yes, at 1080p Ultra settings the average is 67 FPS, but the data does not include minimum FPS values for this configuration. At 1080p Medium, the measured minimum is 91 FPS, confirming that only the Ultra preset risks dipping near or below 60 FPS at this resolution.

Q: How does the Arc B570 compare to its nearest GPU rival in raw benchmark scores?

A: The Arc B570 has an average benchmark score of 20556, which is virtually identical to the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Mobile at 20534 (a 0.1% difference) and the Intel Arc A750 at 20582 (a -0.1% difference). These three GPUs are statistically tied in aggregate performance.

GPU Role

The Intel Arc B570 is built on the Xe2-HPG architecture with a 5 nm process from TSMC, featuring 19,600 million transistors on a 272 mm² die. Its memory configuration includes 10 GB of GDDR6 on a 160-bit bus, delivering 380.0 GB/s of bandwidth. The GPU clock operates at a flat 2500 MHz for both base and boost, which is notable for its consistency under load.

In Fivem, the GPU's role becomes increasingly dominant as resolution scales upward. At 1080p, the Arc B570 produces playable frame rates across all settings: 136 FPS at Low, 107 FPS at Medium, 86 FPS at High, and 67 FPS at Ultra. The 10 GB VRAM capacity is sufficient for this multiplayer title, as the game's asset streaming in dense urban environments does not appear to exceed this allocation based on the measured results.

The GPU's 2304 shading units and 80 ROPs contribute to its pixel rate of 200.0 GPixel/s, which becomes relevant at 4K where the fill rate demands are highest. At 3840x2160, the Arc B570 struggles to maintain smooth performance: 50 FPS at Low, 39 FPS at Medium, 31 FPS at High, and 24 FPS at Ultra. The 4K Ultra result is particularly telling — a 24 FPS average indicates the GPU is heavily saturated, with the 11.52 TFLOPS FP32 throughput insufficient for the combination of high resolution and maximum settings in Fivem.

The GPU's benchmark percentile of 65 versus all GPUs places it in the upper-mid range, but its nearest rivals — the RTX 3070 Mobile (0.1% faster) and Arc A750 (0.1% slower) — suggest that the B570 is positioned at a performance tier that handles 1080p and 1440p well but falls short at 4K Ultra. The 18 ray tracing cores are present, but Fivem's measured data does not indicate ray tracing workloads, so their impact on these results is minimal.

CPU Role

The Intel Core i5-14600KF brings 14 cores and 20 threads from the Raptor Lake architecture, with a base clock of 3.50 GHz and a boost clock of 5.30 GHz. This is a 125 W TDP desktop processor on the Intel Socket 1700 platform, supporting both DDR4 and DDR5 memory. Its L3 cache is 24 MB shared, with 2 MB L2 per core and 80 KB L1 per core.

In Fivem, the CPU's contribution is most apparent at lower resolutions where the GPU is not the bottleneck. At 1080p Low, the combo hits 136 FPS average, which is the ceiling for this pairing. The CPU's single-thread performance — evidenced by a Geekbench single-core score of 2445 and Cinebench R23 single-core score of 4594 — is strong enough to feed the GPU at these frame rates. The passmark single-thread score of 4273 reinforces this capability.

The multi-threaded performance is also substantial: Cinebench R23 multi-core scores 32544, and Geekbench multi-core reaches 17085. However, Fivem is known for its single-thread sensitivity in multiplayer scenarios, and the data suggests the 14600KF's high boost clock of 5.30 GHz is the key asset. The CPU's percentile of 90 versus all CPUs places it well above the GPU's 65th percentile, indicating that in this pairing, the CPU is the stronger component.

At 1440p and 4K, the CPU's role diminishes as the GPU takes over the workload. The frame rate drops from 136 FPS at 1080p Low to 89 FPS at 1440p Low and 50 FPS at 4K Low — a pattern that tracks GPU load rather than CPU capability. The 14-core configuration with 20 threads ensures that background tasks and game logic processing do not create stutters, as evidenced by the minimum FPS values at Medium settings: 91 FPS at 1080p, 60 FPS at 1440p, and 33 FPS at 4K.

Settings Recommendations

Based on the measured FPS data, the optimal experience depends heavily on the target resolution. At 1080p, the Medium preset provides the best balance: 107 FPS average with a minimum of 91 FPS, ensuring smooth gameplay without the performance overhead of High (86 FPS) or Ultra (67 FPS). The Low preset at 136 FPS is unnecessary for most displays capped at 144 Hz, making Medium the recommended choice for competitive play.

At 1440p, Medium again emerges as the sweet spot with 71 FPS average and a 60 FPS minimum. This is the only 1440p setting that maintains a minimum above 60 FPS, making it the clear recommendation for users with 60 Hz displays. High at 56 FPS average is borderline, while Ultra at 44 FPS average is too demanding for smooth play. Low at 89 FPS is viable but sacrifices visual quality for headroom that most 1440p monitors cannot utilize beyond 75-100 Hz.

At 4K, no setting achieves a 60 FPS average. Low produces 50 FPS, Medium 39 FPS, High 31 FPS, and Ultra 24 FPS. For 4K users, the Low preset is the only playable option, and even then, the 50 FPS average will present occasional dips in demanding moments. Medium at 39 FPS is acceptable for slower-paced exploration but will struggle in action sequences. The data suggests that 4K is not a viable resolution for this combo if smooth performance is the priority.

The overall recommendation is to use Medium settings at 1080p or 1440p. This preset consistently delivers the best frame-time consistency, as shown by the narrowing gap between average and minimum FPS (16 FPS at 1080p, 11 FPS at 1440p) compared to other settings.

How This Combo Ranks

The combo rank of 2396 out of 3005 tested combinations places this pairing in the 20th percentile of all configurations tested in Fivem. This is a surprisingly low ranking given the individual component strengths — the CPU sits at the 90th percentile among all CPUs, and the GPU at the 65th percentile among all GPUs.

The discrepancy between component percentiles and the in-game rank suggests that Fivem's performance profile is particularly demanding on specific hardware features that this combination lacks. The GPU's aggregate benchmark score of 20556 is competitive with the RTX 3070 Mobile and Arc A750, yet the in-game rank indicates that many lower-scoring GPUs may perform better in Fivem due to driver optimizations or architecture-specific advantages.

The CPU's nearest rivals — the AMD Ryzen 9 7900 (0.3% higher score), Ryzen 7 PRO 5755G (0.4% higher), and Intel Core Ultra 5 245 (0.8% higher) — all have nearly identical average benchmark scores. This indicates the 14600KF is well-matched against its peers, so the CPU is not the cause of the low combo rank. The bottleneck is more likely the GPU's driver maturity or specific rendering path inefficiencies in Fivem's engine when paired with the Arc B570.

For context, the GPU's nearest rival, the RTX 3070 Mobile, has nearly identical aggregate performance, but the mobile nature of that GPU typically means it is paired with different CPUs in the database. The Arc B570's position in the 65th percentile for GPUs is reasonable, but Fivem's rank suggests the game may favor NVIDIA or AMD architectures in ways not captured by synthetic benchmarks.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the combo delivers its strongest results. Low settings produce 136 FPS average, Medium 107 FPS (minimum 91, maximum 123), High 86 FPS, and Ultra 67 FPS. The progression from Low to Ultra shows a 69 FPS drop, representing a 51% reduction in performance as settings increase.

At 2560x1440, the performance tier shifts downward. Low settings achieve 89 FPS average, Medium 71 FPS (minimum 60, maximum 81), High 56 FPS, and Ultra 44 FPS. The drop from 1080p to 1440p at each setting is consistent: 47 FPS loss at Low, 36 FPS loss at Medium, 30 FPS loss at High, and 23 FPS loss at Ultra. This pattern indicates that higher settings reduce the absolute FPS loss from resolution scaling because the GPU is already heavily loaded.

At 3840x2160, the results show significant strain. Low settings produce 50 FPS average, Medium 39 FPS (minimum 33, maximum 45), High 31 FPS, and Ultra 24 FPS. The gap between Low and Ultra at 4K is 26 FPS, which is smaller in absolute terms than at 1080p (69 FPS) but proportionally similar — a 52% reduction from Low to Ultra.

The medium settings row is the only one with complete min/max data across all resolutions. The minimum FPS values — 91 at 1080p, 60 at 1440p, and 33 at 4K — show that frame time consistency degrades with resolution. At 1080p, the 16 FPS gap between minimum and average indicates stable performance. At 1440p, the 11 FPS gap is tighter. At 4K, the 6 FPS gap is smallest, but the absolute minimum of 33 FPS makes the experience feel less fluid despite the relative stability.

Resolution Scaling

The FPS drop from 1080p to 4K follows a clear pattern that reveals the limiting component. At Low settings, the average FPS goes from 136 at 1080p to 89 at 1440p (a 35% drop) to 50 at 4K (a 44% drop from 1440p). At Medium settings, the progression is 107 to 71 (34% drop) to 39 (45% drop). At High settings, it is 86 to 56 (35% drop) to 31 (45% drop). At Ultra settings, it is 67 to 44 (34% drop) to 24 (45% drop).

The consistency of these percentages — approximately 35% for the 1080p to 1440p transition and 45% for the 1440p to 4K transition — indicates that the GPU is the dominant scaling factor. The pixel count increases by 78% from 1080p to 1440p and by 125% from 1440p to 4K, but the FPS drops are smaller than these pixel increases, suggesting that the GPU is not purely pixel-bound at lower settings.

The 4K results are particularly telling. At 4K Low, the 50 FPS average is only 37% of the 1080p Low result. This disproportionate drop — more than the pixel count would suggest — indicates that the GPU's memory bandwidth (380.0 GB/s) and 160-bit bus become limiting factors at high resolutions. The 10 GB VRAM capacity is sufficient, but the bandwidth constraint becomes apparent when rendering 8.3 million pixels per frame.

The data implies that this combo is CPU-bound at 1080p Low (136 FPS), balanced at 1080p Medium and High, and increasingly GPU-bound as resolution and settings increase. The 4K Ultra result of 24 FPS represents a scenario where both the GPU's compute (11.52 TFLOPS) and memory bandwidth are fully saturated, with no headroom for frame time improvements. For users targeting 4K, the Low preset at 50 FPS is the practical ceiling, and even that requires accepting occasional dips below 45 FPS in complex scenes.
