Allods Online

The AMD Ryzen 5 3600 paired with the Intel Arc B570 delivers a highly variable experience in Allods Online, heavily dependent on resolution and quality settings. The data shows this combo is best suited for 1080p and 1440p gaming, where it can achieve high frame rates, but it struggles to maintain playable performance at 4K with higher presets. The benchmark results indicate a clear performance hierarchy where the GPU becomes the primary bottleneck at higher resolutions and settings, while the CPU's six cores provide a solid foundation for the game's engine.

Resolution Scaling

The frame rate drop from 1080p to 4K is dramatic and reveals the system's performance ceiling. At 1080p with Low settings, the combo produces an average of 177 FPS. Moving to 1440p Low drops this to 116 FPS, a 34% reduction, and at 4K Low it falls further to 61 FPS. This scaling pattern suggests that even on Low settings, the GPU is being heavily tasked as resolution increases, with the 4K result representing a 65% loss from the 1080p baseline. The trend is consistent across all settings: 1080p High yields 91 FPS, 1440p High drops to 57 FPS, and 4K High bottoms out at 30 FPS.

The most telling data point is the Ultra preset, which pushes the system to its limits. At 1080p Ultra, the combo averages 57 FPS, but this collapses to 36 FPS at 1440p and becomes unplayable at 19 FPS in 4K. The drop from 1440p to 4K on Ultra is a 47% reduction, indicating that the Arc B570's 10 GB of VRAM and 160-bit memory bus are insufficient for the higher pixel count at maximum quality. Conversely, the Medium preset shows more controlled scaling: 144 FPS at 1080p, 91 FPS at 1440p, and 47 FPS at 4K, with the 1440p result including a minimum of 77 FPS and maximum of 104 FPS.

This scaling behavior points to the GPU as the limiting component for resolutions above 1080p. The 4K results, even at Medium with its minimum of 40 FPS, are borderline for smooth play, and the 19 FPS at 4K Ultra is a clear indicator that this configuration cannot handle extreme resolutions with high fidelity. For users targeting 4K, the data shows that only Low settings provide a playable average above 60 FPS, and even then, the margin is slim. The Arc B570's 380.0 GB/s bandwidth and 11.52 TFLOPS FP32 performance are simply not enough for the demands of Allods Online at 4K with enhanced visuals.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 5 3600 provides a capable foundation for Allods Online, though its influence on frame rates diminishes as resolution increases. This six-core, twelve-thread processor with a base clock of 3.60 GHz and boost of 4.20 GHz achieves a Cinebench R23 multicore score of 15045 and a single-core score of 2124. The 3DMark 16-thread score of 4605 and 2-thread score of 1361 illustrate balanced multi-threaded and single-threaded performance. In the context of this MMORPG, the processor's 71st percentile ranking among all CPUs suggests it is more than adequate for the game's typical workloads.

The CPU's role is most evident at 1080p where frame rates are highest. The jump from 1080p Low (177 FPS) to 1440p Low (116 FPS) represents a 34% drop, which is less severe than the 47% drop seen on Ultra between the same resolutions. This difference suggests that at lower settings and resolutions, the processor can feed frames to the GPU fast enough, but the GPU becomes the bottleneck as pixel count increases. The Ryzen 5 3600's Zen 2 architecture and 32 MB of shared L3 cache help maintain consistent performance, though the data does not show a scenario where the CPU becomes the primary constraint.

The processor's 3,800 million transistors on a 7 nm process node and 65 W TDP indicate efficient operation, and its DDR4 memory support with dual-channel bandwidth of 51.2 GB/s provides sufficient data throughput for the game. However, the benchmark results show that even with this capable CPU, the system cannot exceed 177 FPS at any tested configuration, suggesting that Allods Online has inherent limits that prevent the full utilization of the processor's capabilities. The 3DMark single-thread score of 696 and Passmark single-thread score of 2562 are solid but not exceptional, which is expected for a 2019 release processor handling a 2010 game.

Settings Recommendations

The data clearly shows that the Medium preset offers the best balance of visual quality and performance for this combination. At 1080p, Medium achieves 144 FPS average with a minimum of 122 FPS and maximum of 165 FPS, providing a smooth experience that exceeds the refresh rate of most standard monitors. At 1440p, Medium still delivers a very playable 91 FPS with a minimum of 77 FPS, making it the recommended choice for users with higher-resolution displays. The 4K Medium result of 47 FPS is borderline, but with a minimum of 40 FPS, it remains playable for less demanding content.

High settings are a viable alternative for users who prioritize visual fidelity over frame rate. At 1080p, High produces 91 FPS, which is still smooth, and at 1440p it drops to 57 FPS, which is acceptable for slower-paced MMORPG gameplay. However, the 4K High result of 30 FPS is below the threshold for comfortable play, making it unsuitable for that resolution. Low settings are only recommended for competitive play or extremely demanding scenarios, as the 177 FPS at 1080p and 116 FPS at 1440p provide maximum responsiveness, but the visual downgrade is significant.

Ultra settings should be avoided for this configuration. The 57 FPS at 1080p is technically playable, but the 36 FPS at 1440p and 19 FPS at 4K are not recommended for any serious gameplay. The data suggests that Medium is the sweet spot, offering the best frame rate stability with a minimum of 122 FPS at 1080p and 77 FPS at 1440p, both of which prevent noticeable stuttering. Users who want higher quality should choose High at 1080p or 1440p, while those who need maximum frame rates should use Low at those same resolutions.

How This Combo Ranks

This specific combination of AMD Ryzen 5 3600 and Intel Arc B570 ranks 2275 out of 2775 tested combos in Allods Online. This places it in the lower 18th percentile of all configurations, indicating that while the system is functional, it is not among the top performers for this game. The ranking reflects the challenges of running an older MMORPG with modern hardware, where the game's engine may not fully utilize the available resources.

The GPU's 65th percentile ranking among all GPUs and the CPU's 71st percentile ranking suggest that both components are above average, but their combination in this specific game does not translate to a top-tier result. The Arc B570's nearest rival, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Mobile, has an average score of 20534, which is 0.1% lower than the Arc B570's 20556, showing that the GPU is competitive with established mobile solutions. Similarly, the Ryzen 5 3600's nearest rival, the Intel Core i7-1260P, has an average score of 17007, which is 0.2% lower than the Ryzen's 17035.

The low ranking is likely due to the game's age and its optimization for older hardware architectures. Allods Online, released in 2010, may not scale well with the Arc B570's Xe2-HPG architecture or the Ryzen 5 3600's Zen 2 design. The data shows that the system performs adequately in absolute terms, but relative to other tested combinations, it falls behind. Users with this setup should not expect top-tier performance in this specific title, though the system remains capable for other games and applications as indicated by the individual component benchmarks.

GPU Role

The Intel Arc B570 is the primary determinant of performance at higher resolutions and settings in Allods Online. This GPU, based on the Xe2-HPG architecture with the BMG-G21 chip, features 2304 shading units, 144 texture mapping units, and 80 render output units. Its 10 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 160-bit bus provides 380.0 GB/s of bandwidth, and the boost clock of 2500 MHz delivers 11.52 TFLOPS of FP32 performance. These specifications result in a Passmark G3D score of 14195 and a 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 2649, placing it in the 65th percentile of all GPUs.

The GPU's role becomes increasingly important as resolution increases. At 1080p Low, the system achieves 177 FPS, but this drops to 116 FPS at 1440p Low and 61 FPS at 4K Low, demonstrating the GPU's struggle to maintain frame rates at higher pixel counts. The 19 FPS at 4K Ultra is a clear sign that the GPU is overwhelmed, as the combination of high resolution and maximum quality settings exceeds its capabilities. The GPU's 18 ray tracing cores do not appear to benefit this game, as the data shows no ray tracing-specific benchmarks or performance gains.

The Arc B570's nearest rival, the Intel Arc A750, has an average score of 20582, which is 0.1% higher than the B570's 20556, indicating that the B570 is a minor step down from its predecessor. The GPU's 65th percentile ranking and its Passmark DirectX 11 score of 118 suggest that it handles modern APIs well, but Allods Online's engine may not be optimized for the Xe2-HPG architecture. The 200.0 GPixel/s pixel rate and 360.0 GTexel/s texture rate are adequate for 1080p and 1440p gaming, but the 4K results show that the GPU's 10 GB VRAM and 160-bit bus are limiting factors for high-resolution textures and effects.
