Allods Online

The AMD Ryzen 5 7400F paired with the Intel Arc B370 is a combination that lands in the lower tier of tested systems for Allods Online, holding the 2559th rank out of 2775 tested combos. This places it in the bottom 8% of all configurations, which is a clear signal that this pairing is not built for high-refresh-rate or max-settings gameplay in this MMORPG. The data indicates a system that can deliver playable frame rates at lower settings and resolutions, but it is fundamentally constrained by the graphics solution, which shows its age against modern titles.

How This Combo Ranks

With a combo rank of 2559 out of 2775, this CPU-GPU pairing sits in the 92nd percentile of worst-performing combinations, meaning roughly 92% of tested systems outperform it in Allods Online. This is a low standing, and the reasons become clear when examining the individual components. The AMD Ryzen 5 7400F is a capable modern processor, but the Intel Arc B370 is the limiting factor, and the game’s results reflect this imbalance.

The 7400F’s average benchmark score of 32750 places it in the 83rd percentile among all CPUs, which is a strong result for a desktop processor. Its nearest rivals include the Intel Core i5-14600T with an average score of 32707 (a 0.1% difference), the Intel Core Ultra 7 155H at 32697 (0.2% ahead), and the AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 6850H at 32812 (0.2% behind). The 7400F essentially trades blows with these chips, showing that it is a well-rounded processor for general and multi-threaded workloads. However, the Intel Arc B370 tells a different story. Its average benchmark score of 1184 places it in the 5th percentile among all GPUs, which is an extremely low position. Its nearest rivals are the ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5570 at 1186 (0.2% ahead), the ATI Radeon HD 5770 at 1190 (0.5% ahead), and the AMD Radeon HD 7650M at 1192 (0.7% ahead). The Arc B370 is effectively competing with graphics hardware from over a decade ago, which explains why the overall combo rank is so poor.

In the context of Allods Online, this ranking means that the system will struggle to maintain smooth gameplay at higher settings. The 7400F has the processing headroom to handle the game’s logic and world simulation, but the GPU cannot keep up with the rendering demands at higher resolutions or quality presets. The combo’s position at 2559 out of 2775 is a direct reflection of this GPU bottleneck, and any expectation of competitive frame rates should be tempered by this reality.

GPU Role

The Intel Arc B370 is an integrated graphics solution based on the Xe3-LPG architecture, built on Intel’s 3 nm process. It operates with a base clock of 300 MHz and a boost clock of 2400 MHz, which are modest figures for a modern GPU. The memory configuration is listed as "System Shared," meaning it relies on the host system’s RAM rather than dedicated VRAM. The bus width and bandwidth are also system-dependent, which puts it at a significant disadvantage for memory-intensive workloads like modern game rendering. The GPU has 1280 shading units, 40 texture mapping units, and 20 render output units, along with 10 ray tracing cores. Its pixel rate is 48.00 GPixel/s, and its texture rate is 96.00 GTexel/s, with a FP32 performance of 6.144 TFLOPS and FP16 performance of 12.29 TFLOPS.

In Allods Online, these specifications translate to a GPU that can handle the game at low to medium settings, but it struggles when the resolution or quality demands increase. The lack of dedicated VRAM is a critical weakness, as the system must share memory bandwidth with the CPU, which can cause stuttering and frame drops in busy scenes. The 25 W TDP and IGP slot width further confirm that this is not a performance-oriented part; it is designed for basic tasks, not for gaming at high fidelity.

The benchmark data shows that the Arc B370’s performance in 3DMark Steel Nomad is 1184 points, which is a low score that aligns with its 5th percentile ranking. When compared to its nearest rivals, the performance is nearly identical to older ATI parts like the Radeon HD 5770, which was released well over a decade ago. This means that in Allods Online, the GPU is the primary bottleneck. The CPU can process the game’s data, but the GPU cannot render frames fast enough to utilize that processing power. At 1080p Low, the combo achieves 108 FPS, which is a playable result, but at 4K Ultra, it drops to 11 FPS, which is unplayable. The GPU’s limited shading units and system-shared memory are the reasons for this dramatic falloff.

Resolution Scaling

The measured FPS data for this combo shows a clear pattern of performance degradation as resolution increases, which is typical for a system with a weak GPU. At 1080p Low, the average FPS is 108, which is a comfortable level for most gameplay. Moving to 1080p Medium, the average drops to 85 FPS, and at High, it falls to 53 FPS. At 1080p Ultra, the average is 34 FPS, which is below the threshold for smooth play. Scaling up to 1440p, the Low preset yields 68 FPS, Medium produces 53 FPS, High drops to 34 FPS, and Ultra falls to 21 FPS. At 4K, the results are much worse: Low averages 36 FPS, Medium averages 28 FPS, High averages 18 FPS, and Ultra averages 11 FPS.

This scaling behavior indicates a GPU-limited system. From 1080p Low to 4K Low, the frame rate drops from 108 FPS to 36 FPS, a reduction of 67%. From 1080p Ultra to 4K Ultra, the drop is from 34 FPS to 11 FPS, a reduction of 68%. The consistent percentage drop across all settings suggests that the GPU is the limiting factor, as its ability to fill pixels decreases proportionally with resolution. The CPU’s performance does not degrade with resolution, so if the system were CPU-limited, we would expect to see similar frame rates across different resolutions. Instead, the data shows a linear decline, which is characteristic of a GPU bottleneck.

The 7400F, with its 6 cores and 12 threads, has more than enough processing power for Allods Online at any resolution. The game is not particularly demanding on the CPU, and the 7400F’s single-thread performance, as evidenced by its Cinebench R23 single-core score of 3072, is strong. However, the Arc B370 cannot translate that CPU performance into higher frame rates at higher resolutions. This is a classic case of an unbalanced system where the GPU holds back the CPU. For users who want to play at 1440p or 4K, this combo will require significant settings reductions to achieve playable frame rates, and even then, the experience will be suboptimal.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The benchmark results provide a detailed look at how this combo performs across different resolutions and settings. At 1920x1080, the lowest resolution tested, the system shows its best results. On the Low preset, the average FPS is 108, which is smooth and responsive. The Medium preset averages 85 FPS, with a minimum of 72 FPS and a maximum of 97 FPS, indicating that the frame times are consistent and playable. The High preset drops to an average of 53 FPS, which is still technically playable but may feel less smooth in fast-paced combat scenes. The Ultra preset averages 34 FPS, which is below the 60 FPS target and will likely cause noticeable stuttering in crowded areas.

At 2560x1440, the performance drops significantly. The Low preset averages 68 FPS, which is a solid result for a 1440p resolution, but the Medium preset falls to 53 FPS, with a minimum of 45 FPS and a maximum of 61 FPS. The High preset averages 34 FPS, which is marginal, and the Ultra preset averages 21 FPS, which is unplayable for an MMORPG where reaction time matters. At 3840x2160, the results are poor across the board. The Low preset averages 36 FPS, which is borderline, the Medium preset averages 28 FPS with a minimum of 24 FPS and a maximum of 32 FPS, the High preset averages 18 FPS, and the Ultra preset averages 11 FPS. These numbers confirm that 4K is not a viable option for this combo, even at the lowest settings.

The data shows that the Medium preset at 1080p offers the best balance of frame rate and visual quality, with an average of 85 FPS and a minimum of 72 FPS. This is the only setting where the system can maintain a frame rate that is consistently above 60 FPS, which is the standard for smooth gameplay. At 1440p, the Low preset is the only option that provides a playable experience, with an average of 68 FPS. The Medium preset at 1440p is borderline at 53 FPS, and the higher presets are not recommended. At 4K, the system is not suitable for gaming, as even the Low preset struggles to maintain 36 FPS.

Settings Recommendations

Based on the measured FPS data, the optimal settings for this combo in Allods Online are the Medium preset at 1080p. This configuration delivers an average of 85 FPS, with a minimum of 72 FPS and a maximum of 97 FPS, which provides a smooth and consistent experience for most gameplay scenarios. The Medium preset at 1080p is the sweet spot because it offers a significant improvement over the Low preset in terms of visual fidelity, while still maintaining a frame rate that is well above the 60 FPS threshold. The High preset at 1080p, with an average of 53 FPS, is acceptable for less demanding situations, but it may cause stuttering in large-scale PvP battles or heavily populated cities.

For users who prioritize frame rate over visual quality, the Low preset at 1080p is the best choice, as it averages 108 FPS and provides the most responsive experience. However, this comes at the cost of reduced graphical detail, which may detract from the game’s atmosphere. The Ultra preset at 1080p, with an average of 34 FPS, is not recommended, as it falls below the playable threshold and will likely result in a frustrating experience.

At 1440p, the Low preset is the only viable option, with an average of 68 FPS. This is a playable frame rate, but the visual quality will be noticeably lower than at 1080p Medium. The Medium preset at 1440p, with an average of 53 FPS, is borderline, and users with a high tolerance for frame drops may find it acceptable. However, the High and Ultra presets at 1440p are not recommended, as they average 34 FPS and 21 FPS, respectively, which will make the game feel sluggish.

At 4K, this combo is not suitable for Allods Online. The Low preset averages 36 FPS, which is technically playable but will feel choppy, and the Medium preset averages 28 FPS, which is below the minimum threshold for an enjoyable experience. The High and Ultra presets, with averages of 18 FPS and 11 FPS, are effectively unplayable. Users with a 4K monitor should either lower the resolution to 1440p or 1080p or consider a different GPU if they want to enjoy this game at higher settings.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 5 7400F is a 6-core, 12-thread processor based on the Zen 4 architecture, manufactured on TSMC’s 5 nm process. It has a base clock of 3.70 GHz and a boost clock of 4.70 GHz, with a 65 W TDP. The CPU features 64 KB of L1 cache per core, 1 MB of L2 cache per core, and 32 MB of shared L3 cache. It supports DDR5 memory in a dual-channel configuration, with a memory bandwidth of 83.2 GB/s, and it also supports ECC memory. The 7400F is designed for the AMD Socket AM5 platform and has a PCIe Gen 5 interface with 24 lanes. Its launch MSRP is $229, and it is an unlocked multiplier processor, allowing for overclocking.

In Allods Online, the CPU’s role is to handle the game’s simulation logic, including AI, physics, and network processing. The 7400F is more than capable of this task, as evidenced by its benchmark scores. In Cinebench R23, it scores 21765 in multi-core and 3072 in single-core, which are strong results for a desktop processor. Its PassMark single-thread score is 3689, and its multithread score is 25645, further confirming its processing power. The CPU’s 83rd percentile ranking among all CPUs means that it is faster than the majority of processors on the market, and it is certainly not the bottleneck in this combo.

The nearest rivals to the 7400F in terms of average benchmark score are the Intel Core i5-14600T (32707, 0.1% difference), the Intel Core Ultra 7 155H (32697, 0.2% ahead), and the AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 6850H (32812, 0.2% behind). These comparisons show that the 7400F is competitive with other mid-range and high-end processors, and its performance is well within the acceptable range for gaming. In Allods Online, the CPU can easily keep up with the game’s demands, and the frame rate is almost entirely determined by the GPU.

The 7400F’s 6 cores and 12 threads are sufficient for Allods Online, as the game is not heavily multi-threaded. The CPU’s high single-thread performance, as measured by the Cinebench R23 single-core score of 3072, ensures that the game’s main thread can run efficiently, minimizing input latency and stuttering. The L3 cache of 32 MB is also beneficial for game performance, as it reduces memory access times for frequently used data. Overall, the CPU is a solid choice for this game, but it is wasted by the weak GPU. If the Arc B370 were replaced with a more powerful graphics card, the 7400F would have no trouble delivering high frame rates at higher resolutions and settings. As it stands, the CPU’s potential is unrealized in this combination, and the system’s overall ranking in Allods Online is a direct result of the GPU’s limitations.
