# Allods Online with AMD Ryzen 5 5600F + Intel Arc B570

The AMD Ryzen 5 5600F paired with the Intel Arc B570 produces a playable but resolution-sensitive experience in Allods Online, a 2010 MMORPG that scales dramatically as settings and pixel counts rise. The combo ranks 2231 out of 2775 tested combinations, placing it in the lower third of the database, yet the measured frame rates reveal a system that can handle the game comfortably at 1080p and 1440p with the right settings. The data shows that this pairing hits a performance ceiling at 4K Ultra, where the average frame rate collapses to 19 FPS, while at 1080p Low the same combo delivers 184 FPS — a spread of nearly 10x that illustrates how heavily this title weights resolution and quality presets.

Resolution Scaling

The frame rate drop from 1080p to 4K is steep and consistent across all settings presets. At Low settings, the average FPS falls from 184 at 1920x1080 to 116 at 2560x1440 — a 37% reduction — and then to 61 at 3840x2160, which is another 47% cut from the 1440p figure. This pattern indicates that the Intel Arc B570 is the primary limiting factor as pixel count climbs, since the CPU has more headroom to feed frames at lower resolutions. The jump from 1440p to 4K at Low settings costs 55 FPS, while the jump from 1080p to 1440p costs 68 FPS, suggesting that the GPU's 10 GB memory and 160-bit bus begin to struggle as the render target expands.

At Medium settings, the scaling is similarly aggressive. The average FPS at 1080p is 144, dropping to 91 at 1440p (a 37% loss) and then to 47 at 4K (a 48% loss from 1440p). The minimum FPS at Medium settings also tells a story: 122 at 1080p, 77 at 1440p, and 40 at 4K. These minimums show that frame pacing degrades substantially at higher resolutions, with the 4K Medium minimum falling below the 30 FPS threshold that many players consider the floor for acceptable gameplay. The High preset follows the same trajectory: 91 FPS at 1080p, 57 at 1440p, and 30 at 4K, with the 4K result exactly at the edge of playability.

Ultra settings are where the combo collapses. The average FPS at 1080p Ultra is 57, which is already below the 1080p High result of 91. At 1440p Ultra, the average drops to 36, and at 4K Ultra it falls to 19. The delta between High and Ultra at each resolution is stark: at 1080p, High delivers 91 FPS while Ultra delivers 57 (a 37% penalty); at 1440p, High delivers 57 while Ultra delivers 36 (a 37% penalty); at 4K, High delivers 30 while Ultra delivers 19 (a 37% penalty). This consistent 37% reduction suggests that the Ultra preset adds a uniform load increase that scales linearly with resolution, further confirming that the GPU is the bottleneck.

The overall pattern indicates that this combo is GPU-limited at every resolution above 1080p Low. At 1080p Low, the 184 FPS average suggests the CPU can push well beyond what the GPU can render, but as resolution increases, the Arc B570's 11.52 TFLOPS of FP32 compute and 380.0 GB/s memory bandwidth become the constraining factors. The 4K results, particularly the 19 FPS at Ultra and 30 FPS at High, demonstrate that this combination is not suited for 4K gaming in Allods Online, even with a decade-old title that predates the GPU by over 14 years.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 5 5600F is a 6-core, 12-thread processor based on the Zen 3 architecture, codenamed Vermeer, manufactured on a 7 nm process at TSMC. It has a base clock of 3.00 GHz and a boost clock of 4.00 GHz, with 64 KB of L1 cache per core, 512 KB of L2 cache per core, and 32 MB of shared L3 cache. The CPU supports DDR4 memory in a dual-channel configuration with a bandwidth of 51.2 GB/s, and it connects via PCIe Gen 4 with 20 lanes. Its TDP is 65 watts, and it uses the AMD Socket AM4.

In Allods Online, an MMORPG that relies heavily on single-threaded game logic and network processing, the 5600F's single-thread performance is a key asset. The PassMark single-thread score is 2872, which is solid for a desktop processor. The multithread score is 19236, and the physics score is 1043, indicating that the CPU can handle the game's simulation and entity updates without becoming a bottleneck at lower resolutions. The data shows that at 1080p Low, the combo achieves 184 FPS, a figure that suggests the CPU is feeding the GPU with frames faster than the Arc B570 can render them.

The 5600F's percentile vs. all CPUs is 85, meaning it outperforms 85% of processors in the database. Its nearest rivals include the Intel Core Ultra 5 225 with an average score of 36938 and a delta of 0%, the AMD Ryzen 5 5500X3D at 37018 with a delta of -0.2%, the AMD Ryzen AI 7 PRO 450 at 37093 with a delta of -0.4%, and the Intel Core i9-12900T at 37112 with a delta of -0.5%. These deltas are all within half a percent, indicating that the 5600F's compute capability is statistically indistinguishable from these alternatives in synthetic benchmarks.

For Allods Online specifically, the CPU's role becomes more apparent when comparing the scaling from 1080p to 1440p at Low settings. The drop from 184 to 116 FPS is a 37% reduction, which is proportionally similar to the drop from 1440p to 4K (116 to 61, a 47% reduction). If the CPU were the primary limiter, we would expect the frame rate to remain more constant as resolution increases, since the CPU's workload per frame does not change with pixel count. The fact that FPS falls sharply with each resolution step indicates that the GPU is the limiting factor, and the CPU has headroom to spare. At 1080p Low, the 184 FPS average is likely close to the CPU's maximum frame delivery capability for this game, but it is still high enough to avoid any perceived stutter or lag in normal MMORPG play.

GPU Role

The Intel Arc B570 is built on the Xe2-HPG architecture, codenamed Battlemage, in the Arc 5 generation, manufactured on a 5 nm process at TSMC. It has 2304 shading units, 144 texture mapping units, and 80 render output units, with 18 ray tracing cores. The GPU operates at a base clock of 2500 MHz and a boost clock of 2500 MHz, with memory clocked at 2375 MHz (19 Gbps effective). The memory subsystem consists of 10 GB of GDDR6 on a 160-bit bus, delivering a bandwidth of 380.0 GB/s. The card has a TDP of 150 watts and requires a 450 W power supply, using a single 8-pin power connector.

The Arc B570's compute capabilities are substantial for its class: 11.52 TFLOPS of FP32 performance, 23.04 TFLOPS of FP16 (2:1), a pixel rate of 200.0 GPixel/s, and a texture rate of 360.0 GTexel/s. The PassMark G3D score is 14195, with a G2D score of 661 and a GPU compute score of 7281. The GPU's percentile vs. all GPUs is 65, placing it in the upper third of the database. Its nearest rivals include the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Mobile with an average score of 20534 and a delta of 0.1%, the Intel Arc A750 at 20582 with a delta of -0.1%, the NVIDIA Quadro M4000M at 20480 with a delta of 0.4%, and the AMD Radeon R9 M390X at 20662 with a delta of -0.5%.

In Allods Online, the GPU's role is dominant, as evidenced by the resolution scaling data. The 10 GB memory capacity is sufficient for this game at all tested settings, as the title's assets are modest by modern standards. However, the 160-bit bus and 380 GB/s bandwidth become limiting factors at 4K, where the pixel throughput requirements exceed what the GPU can deliver. The 4K Ultra result of 19 FPS highlights this bottleneck, as the GPU is likely fill-rate limited at that resolution with the highest quality textures and effects.

The GPU's performance at Medium settings provides a clearer picture of its capabilities. At 1080p Medium, the combo delivers 144 FPS with a minimum of 122 FPS and a maximum of 165 FPS. At 1440p Medium, the average drops to 91 FPS with a minimum of 77 FPS and a maximum of 104 FPS. These numbers indicate that the Arc B570 can maintain smooth frame rates at 1440p with medium quality, but the minimum FPS at 4K Medium (40) shows that the GPU is nearing its limits at that resolution. The High preset at 4K delivers an average of 30 FPS, which is technically playable but marginal for an MMORPG where fast camera movements and crowded scenes can cause frame dips.

How This Combo Ranks

The combination of the AMD Ryzen 5 5600F and Intel Arc B570 ranks 2231 out of 2775 tested combos in Allods Online, placing it in the 19th percentile of all combinations. This rank is lower than what the individual component benchmarks might suggest, as the CPU's 85th percentile and the GPU's 65th percentile would imply a more favorable overall position. The discrepancy indicates that Allods Online may be more sensitive to GPU performance than to CPU performance, and the Arc B570's mid-range positioning drags the combo down despite the capable CPU.

The combo's rank of 2231 means that 544 tested combinations perform worse, while 2230 perform better. This places the pairing in a crowded field where many alternative CPUs and GPUs deliver higher frame rates in this specific title. The data suggests that the Arc B570 is the weaker link in this pairing for Allods Online, as the CPU's strong single-thread performance cannot compensate for the GPU's limitations at higher resolutions and quality settings.

The nearest rival comparisons for the GPU provide context: the Arc B570's average benchmark score of 20556 is within 0.5% of the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Mobile, Intel Arc A750, NVIDIA Quadro M4000M, and AMD Radeon R9 M390X. However, these synthetic benchmarks do not directly translate to Allods Online performance, as the game's engine may favor different GPU architectures. The measured FPS data shows that the combo can deliver 184 FPS at 1080p Low, which is excellent for an MMORPG, but the 4K Ultra result of 19 FPS is among the lowest in the database for this game.

Settings Recommendations

Based on the measured FPS rows, the optimal settings for this combo depend on the target resolution and desired frame rate. At 1080p, the Low preset delivers 184 FPS, which is well beyond the refresh rate of most monitors and provides a smooth experience. The Medium preset at 1080p delivers 144 FPS with a minimum of 122 FPS, which is also excellent and offers better visual quality. The High preset at 1080p delivers 91 FPS, which is still smooth and provides a good balance of quality and performance. The Ultra preset at 1080p drops to 57 FPS, which is playable but may feel less responsive in fast-paced PvP encounters.

At 1440p, the Low preset delivers 116 FPS, which is very good for this resolution. The Medium preset delivers 91 FPS with a minimum of 77 FPS, which is smooth and recommended for most players. The High preset delivers 57 FPS, which is acceptable but may show occasional dips in crowded areas. The Ultra preset at 1440p drops to 36 FPS, which is below the ideal threshold for an MMORPG and not recommended.

At 4K, the only viable option is the Low preset, which delivers 61 FPS. The Medium preset at 4K delivers 47 FPS with a minimum of 40 FPS, which is playable but on the edge of comfort. The High preset at 4K delivers exactly 30 FPS, which is marginal, and the Ultra preset at 4K delivers 19 FPS, which is not playable. For the best experience, the data recommends using Medium settings at 1080p or 1440p, as these presets offer the best combination of visual quality and frame rate. At 4K, Low settings are the only reasonable choice, and even then, the 61 FPS average is acceptable but not ideal.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the Low preset delivers an average of 184 FPS. The Medium preset delivers 144 FPS on average, with a minimum of 122 FPS and a maximum of 165 FPS. The High preset delivers 91 FPS on average. The Ultra preset delivers 57 FPS on average.

At 2560x1440, the Low preset delivers an average of 116 FPS. The Medium preset delivers 91 FPS on average, with a minimum of 77 FPS and a maximum of 104 FPS. The High preset delivers 57 FPS on average. The Ultra preset delivers 36 FPS on average.

At 3840x2160, the Low preset delivers an average of 61 FPS. The Medium preset delivers 47 FPS on average, with a minimum of 40 FPS and a maximum of 55 FPS. The High preset delivers 30 FPS on average. The Ultra preset delivers 19 FPS on average.

The data shows a consistent pattern across all resolutions: each step up in settings from Low to Medium to High to Ultra costs a significant portion of the frame rate. The Medium preset at each resolution is the only one with both minimum and maximum FPS recorded, indicating that the test methodology captured a wider variance at this setting. The minimum FPS values at Medium (122 at 1080p, 77 at 1440p, 40 at 4K) are notably close to the average FPS of the next lower preset at each resolution, suggesting that Medium provides a stable experience without the extreme drops seen at High and Ultra. At 1080p, the 57 FPS at Ultra is the only sub-60 result, while at 1440p, both High (57 FPS) and Ultra (36 FPS) fall below 60. At 4K, all presets except Low fall below 60 FPS, with Medium at 47, High at 30, and Ultra at 19. This breakdown clearly indicates that the combo's sweet spot is 1080p Medium or 1440p Low, where the frame rates are high enough to ensure a responsive and visually clean MMORPG experience.
