Allods Online

The AMD Ryzen 5 4600G paired with the Intel Arc B570 delivers a playable but heavily settings-dependent experience in Allods Online. The data shows a clear pattern: this combo is capable of high frame rates at lower resolutions and settings, but it struggles to maintain smooth performance when both resolution and graphical fidelity are pushed to their limits. The most telling result is the 4K Ultra figure of just 19 FPS, which contrasts sharply with the 183 FPS achieved at 1080p Low, indicating that the system's scaling efficiency drops off dramatically as the workload intensifies.

Resolution Scaling

The frame rate progression from 1080p to 4K reveals a steep and consistent decline that points to the GPU as the primary scaling bottleneck, though the CPU's single-threaded capabilities also play a role at lower settings. At 1080p Low, the combo produces 183 FPS, which falls to 116 FPS at 1440p Low and then to 61 FPS at 4K Low. This represents a 67% drop from 1080p to 4K at Low settings, which is substantial but still leaves the game playable at the highest resolution. The scaling at High settings is even more aggressive: 91 FPS at 1080p drops to 57 FPS at 1440p and then to 30 FPS at 4K, a 67% reduction from 1080p to 4K that pushes the experience below the smoothness threshold.

The Ultra settings tell a more concerning story. At 1080p Ultra, the average is 57 FPS, which is still acceptable for a MMORPG. However, at 1440p Ultra, this falls to 36 FPS, and at 4K Ultra, the system manages only 19 FPS. The delta between 1440p and 4K at Ultra is a 47% loss, which is the steepest single-step decline across all settings. This suggests that the 10 GB of VRAM and 160-bit memory bus on the Arc B570 are being saturated at 4K Ultra, where the combination of high resolution textures and effects overwhelms the memory subsystem.

The 1080p to 1440p scaling at Medium settings is more moderate: 144 FPS drops to 91 FPS, a 37% reduction, while the 1440p to 4K Medium transition sees a 48% drop from 91 to 47 FPS. This non-linear scaling pattern indicates that the GPU's compute resources, with 2304 shading units and 11.52 TFLOPS FP32 performance, become the limiting factor at higher resolutions. The data suggests that for 4K gaming, users should stick to Low settings, where the 61 FPS average remains fluid, while 1440p offers a better balance at Medium or High settings.

GPU Role

The Intel Arc B570, based on the Xe2-HPG architecture, is the dominant component in this pairing for Allods Online. The GPU's 10 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 160-bit bus delivers 380.0 GB/s of bandwidth, which is sufficient for 1080p and 1440p gaming but appears strained at 4K Ultra. The memory clock runs at 2375 MHz with 19 Gbps effective speed, and the base and boost clocks are both locked at 2500 MHz, providing consistent performance across workloads. The 80 ROPs and 144 TMUs are responsible for the pixel and texture throughput, with the GPU achieving a pixel rate of 200.0 GPixel/s and a texture rate of 360.0 GTexel/s.

The GPU's benchmark scores provide context for its in-game performance. In the 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 test, it scores 2649, while Geekbench Vulkan shows 96844 and OpenCL shows 83514. These figures place the Arc B570 in the 65th percentile of all GPUs, with an average benchmark score of 20556. The nearest rival, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Mobile, scores 20534, a delta of 0.1%, while the Intel Arc A750 scores 20582, a delta of -0.1%. This positions the B570 as a mid-range performer, which aligns with its in-game results that show it can handle 1080p High easily but struggles with 4K Ultra.

The GPU's DirectX 12 Ultimate support (12_2) is relevant for a game released in 2010, as the title's older engine may not fully utilize modern features, but the data shows the GPU still performs admirably at lower settings. The 150 W TDP and dual-slot design with a single 8-pin power connector suggest a power-efficient card, though the suggested PSU of 450 W is a consideration for system builders. The PCIe 4.0 x8 interface provides sufficient bandwidth for the 10 GB frame buffer, and the data confirms that at 1080p, the GPU is not the bottleneck, as evidenced by the jump from 91 FPS at High to 183 FPS at Low.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 5 4600G, a 6-core 12-thread processor from the 4000 series, plays a supporting role in Allods Online, which is typical for an MMORPG that relies on single-thread performance. The CPU's base clock of 3.70 GHz and boost clock of 4.20 GHz, combined with the Zen 2 architecture, provide adequate processing power for the game's logic and AI. The 8 MB of shared L3 cache and 512 KB per-core L2 cache are modest by modern standards, but the 7 nm process node and 65 W TDP make it an efficient chip.

CPU benchmark scores indicate its relative position in the market. The Cinebench R23 multicore score of 13593 and single-core score of 1919 show a solid multi-threaded capability, but the single-thread performance is where the CPU's age shows. The 3DMark single-thread score of 726 and 2-thread score of 1430 highlight this limitation. The CPU sits in the 71st percentile of all CPUs with an average benchmark score of 17507, placing it near the AMD Ryzen 3 PRO 5355GE (17482, delta 0.1%) and Intel Core 7 150U (17395, delta 0.6%).

In Allods Online, the CPU's impact is most visible at lower resolutions where the GPU is not the bottleneck. The 183 FPS result at 1080p Low suggests that the CPU can feed the GPU adequately, but the scaling from 1080p Low to 1440p Low (a 37% drop to 116 FPS) indicates that the CPU's single-thread performance is holding back the system at higher resolutions when the GPU has more headroom. However, the CPU's 12 threads and 6 cores are sufficient for the game's background tasks, as evidenced by the stable frame rates at 1440p High (57 FPS) and 4K Medium (47 FPS), where the GPU is clearly the limiting factor.

The CPU's memory bandwidth of 51.2 GB/s and dual-channel DDR4 support are adequate, but the PCIe Gen 3 interface with 20 lanes (CPU only) could theoretically limit GPU communication, though the data does not show a significant impact. The integrated Radeon Vega 7 graphics are not used in this discrete GPU setup but provide a fallback option. Overall, the CPU's role is to avoid becoming a bottleneck at 1080p, which it achieves, but at 4K Ultra, both components are overwhelmed, resulting in the 19 FPS average.

How This Combo Ranks

In the database of tested combinations, this pairing of the AMD Ryzen 5 4600G and Intel Arc B570 ranks 2274 out of 2775 combos for Allods Online. This places it in the bottom 18% of all tested systems, which is a low ranking that reflects the game's demanding nature at higher settings. The rank is likely influenced by the CPU's older architecture and the GPU's mid-range positioning, as both components fall below the top-tier performers in their respective categories.

The GPU's 65th percentile ranking among all GPUs and the CPU's 71st percentile among all CPUs suggest that individually, these components are above average. However, the combination's rank of 2274 out of 2775 indicates that the pairing does not synergize well for this specific game. The data shows that the combo performs best at 1080p Low (183 FPS) and 1080p Medium (144 FPS), where the frame rates are well above playable thresholds. At 1440p, the combo delivers acceptable results at Medium (91 FPS) and High (57 FPS), but the 4K results are disappointing, with only Low settings (61 FPS) providing a smooth experience.

The rank is also affected by the game's release date in 2010, which means it may not be optimized for modern hardware. The combo's performance at 1080p High (91 FPS) is respectable, but the steep drop to 4K Ultra (19 FPS) suggests that the game's engine has scaling issues with high-resolution textures. This ranking indicates that users with this combo should prioritize 1080p or 1440p gaming, as the 4K experience is subpar unless settings are reduced to Low.

Measured FPS Breakdown
