How This Combo Ranks

The AMD Ryzen 5 5600 paired with the Intel Arc B390 lands at rank 2459 out of 2775 tested combos in Allods Online. That places this configuration in the bottom 11% of all tested system pairings, a reflection of the GPU's modest standing rather than any CPU limitation. The combo's position is heavily influenced by the Arc B390's benchmark percentile, which sits at just 9th percentile among all GPUs — a low-ranking component that drags the overall experience down.

Looking at the delta between the two components, the CPU is clearly the stronger half of this pairing. The Ryzen 5 5600's average benchmark score of 20468 places it at the 74th percentile among all CPUs, and it edges out its nearest rivals by slim margins. The Intel Core Ultra 7 258V scores 20454 (0.1% behind), the AMD Ryzen 5 8500G scores 20425 (0.2% behind), and even the AMD EPYC 9454P at 20422 and AMD EPYC 7713 at 20363 are within half a percent. This is a CPU that trades blows with enterprise silicon, yet it is paired with a GPU whose nearest comparable rivals are the NVIDIA GeForce GT 520MX (1463, 1.3% behind), the GeForce 800M (1460, 1.5% behind), the GeForce GT 625 OEM (1446, 2.5% behind), and the GeForce GT 710 (1443, 2.7% behind). The Arc B390's 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 1482 is barely above those legacy parts.

The rank disparity between CPU and GPU creates a bottleneck that shows up clearly in the measured frame rates. At 1080p Low, this combo reaches 120 FPS, which demonstrates the CPU can feed frames effectively when the GPU workload is light. But as settings increase, the GPU becomes the limiting factor, and the combo's rank reflects that ceiling. For an MMORPG from the early 2010s, this pairing is workable at lower settings, but it will not deliver high-refresh experiences at higher quality presets.

GPU Role

The Intel Arc B390 is an integrated GPU based on the Xe3-LPG architecture, built on Intel's 3 nm process. It operates with a base clock of 300 MHz and boosts up to 2500 MHz. Memory is system-shared rather than dedicated, meaning the GPU draws from main system memory with bandwidth that is system-dependent. This is a fundamental constraint for gaming performance, as shared memory bandwidth is rarely competitive with dedicated VRAM.

The GPU's compute resources include 1536 shading units, 48 texture mapping units, and 24 raster output pipelines. It also carries 12 ray tracing cores, though for a game like Allods Online, those RT capabilities are largely irrelevant. The pixel rate is 60.00 GPixel/s and the texture rate is 120.0 GTexel/s, with FP32 performance rated at 7.680 TFLOPS and FP16 at 15.36 TFLOPS (2:1). The power envelope is 80 W, and the slot width is IGP, confirming its integrated nature.

The benchmark data shows the Arc B390 scores 1482 in 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12, which places it at the 9th percentile. Its nearest rivals are all older NVIDIA parts — the GT 520MX, GeForce 800M, GT 625 OEM, and GT 710 — and it beats them by margins of just 1.3% to 2.7%. This is not a GPU designed for modern gaming workloads, and Allods Online's measured results reflect that. At 4K Ultra, the combo manages only 12 FPS, and at 4K High it hits 19 FPS. The GPU's shared memory architecture means there is no dedicated VRAM pool to lean on, and the system-dependent bandwidth compounds the issue at higher resolutions where memory pressure increases.

Settings Recommendations

The measured FPS data provides a clear picture of where this combo operates best. At 1920x1080 with Low settings, the system achieves 120 FPS average, which is playable for most MMORPG scenarios. Moving to Medium at 1080p drops the average to 94 FPS with a minimum of 80 FPS and maximum of 108 FPS — still smooth and a reasonable compromise between visual quality and performance. High at 1080p yields 59 FPS, which is borderline for a game that benefits from responsiveness, while Ultra at 1080p falls to 37 FPS.

At 2560x1440, the picture changes. Low settings deliver 75 FPS, Medium drops to 59 FPS, High falls to 37 FPS, and Ultra bottoms out at 23 FPS. The Medium preset at 1440p with a 50 FPS minimum and 68 FPS maximum is the most balanced option for users with 1440p displays, though it requires accepting a significant step down from the 1080p experience.

At 3840x2160, the results are marginal. Low settings produce 39 FPS, Medium drops to 31 FPS with a 26 FPS minimum, High falls to 19 FPS, and Ultra is unplayable at 12 FPS. The 4K Medium preset is the only 4K option that stays above 30 FPS, and even that is close to the edge.

The data suggests the best experience for this combo is 1080p Medium, which offers 94 FPS average with an 80 FPS floor. That keeps action smooth during crowded scenes while maintaining some visual fidelity. For users who prioritize frame rate above all, 1080p Low at 120 FPS is the alternative. At higher resolutions, Medium is the only viable preset, but the 1440p Medium experience at 59 FPS is acceptable, while 4K Medium at 31 FPS is the absolute floor for playability.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the settings ladder shows a clear progression. Low settings produce 120 FPS average — the highest measured result across all resolutions and settings. Medium drops to 94 FPS average with a 80 FPS minimum and 108 FPS maximum. High falls to 59 FPS, and Ultra lands at 37 FPS. The gap from Low to Medium is 26 FPS, while Medium to High is 35 FPS, and High to Ultra is 22 FPS. The step from Medium to High is the steepest drop, suggesting the High preset introduces rendering features that disproportionately impact this GPU.

At 2560x1440, the pattern repeats but at lower absolute values. Low delivers 75 FPS, Medium hits 59 FPS with a 50 FPS minimum and 68 FPS maximum, High manages 37 FPS, and Ultra drops to 23 FPS. The difference between Low and Medium at 1440p is 16 FPS, while Medium to High is 22 FPS, and High to Ultra is 14 FPS. The 1440p Medium result is the only 1440p setting that clears 60 FPS, and it does so barely.

At 3840x2160, the numbers become difficult. Low reaches 39 FPS, Medium drops to 31 FPS with a 26 FPS minimum and 36 FPS maximum, High falls to 19 FPS, and Ultra is 12 FPS. The 4K Medium result is the only 4K preset that stays above 30 FPS, and the minimum of 26 FPS indicates frame pacing will be inconsistent during demanding scenes. The 4K Ultra result of 12 FPS is effectively a slideshow.

Comparing across resolutions at the same settings, 1080p Low is 60% faster than 1440p Low (120 vs 75 FPS), and 1440p Low is 92% faster than 4K Low (75 vs 39 FPS). At Medium, 1080p is 59% faster than 1440p (94 vs 59 FPS), and 1440p is 90% faster than 4K (59 vs 31 FPS). These scaling patterns are consistent with a GPU that struggles with fill-rate-heavy workloads at higher resolutions.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 5 5600 is a 6-core, 12-thread processor from the 5000 series, built on the Zen 3 architecture with the Vermeer codename. It operates on a 7 nm TSMC process with 4,150 million transistors on a 74 mm² die. The base clock is 3.50 GHz with a boost clock of 4.40 GHz, and the TDP is rated at 65 W. The CPU supports DDR4 memory in dual-channel configuration with a bandwidth of 51.2 GB/s, and it includes ECC memory support. The cache hierarchy includes 64 KB of L1 per core, 512 KB of L2 per core, and 32 MB of shared L3 cache.

The CPU's benchmark results show strong multi-threaded performance. In Cinebench R23, it scores 18309 multi-core and 2584 single-core. Cinebench R20 shows 7689 multi-core and 1085 single-core, while R15 shows 1845 multi-core and 260 single-core. Geekbench results are 9158 multi-core and 1936 single-core. The 3DMark results show 5641 for 16 threads, 1737 for 2 threads, 3313 for 4 threads, 4798 for 8 threads, 5659 for max threads, and 882 for single thread. PassMark results include 21541 multi-thread, 3256 single-thread, 68396 integer math, 38778 floating point math, 251687 data compression, 15531 data encryption, and 16993 extended instructions.

The Ryzen 5 5600's percentile rank of 74 among all CPUs, combined with an average benchmark score of 20468, demonstrates that this processor is more than capable of feeding the Arc B390 in Allods Online. The CPU's single-thread performance — 2584 in Cinebench R23 single-core — is particularly relevant for an MMORPG, which often relies on a few heavily loaded threads. The CPU's nearest rivals are all within 0.5% in average score, indicating that the 5600 is positioned in a tightly contested performance tier.

For Allods Online specifically, the CPU's 6 cores and 12 threads are sufficient to handle the game's logic and network processing. The 32 MB of L3 cache helps keep frequently accessed data close to the cores, and the 4.40 GHz boost clock ensures responsive frame delivery. However, the GPU bottleneck means the CPU's headroom goes largely unused in this pairing — at 1080p Low, the 120 FPS result suggests the CPU is capable of much more, but the GPU cannot render frames fast enough to fully utilize it. The CPU's launch MSRP was $199, and it remains an active production part, but the measured data in Allods Online shows the GPU is the determining factor for this combo's 2459th place ranking.
