Allods Online

Allods Online, a 2010 MMORPG, places modest demands on modern hardware. The measured data for the AMD Ryzen 5 7400F paired with the Intel Arc B580 reveals a configuration that scales predictably with resolution and settings, offering a clear picture of where its performance boundaries lie. This analysis walks through the measured frames per second (FPS) data to interpret what this specific combination delivers, how it behaves across different quality presets, and where it stands relative to other tested systems.

Resolution Scaling

The FPS drop from 1080p to 4K is substantial, indicating that resolution scaling is a primary factor in this game's performance. At Low settings, the average FPS falls from 208 at 1920x1080 to 131 at 2560x1440, and then to 69 at 3840x2160. This represents a 37% reduction from 1080p to 1440p, and a further 47% reduction from 1440p to 4K. The pattern is consistent across all settings, showing that higher resolutions exact a heavy toll on frame rates.

This scaling behavior points to the GPU as the limiting component at higher resolutions. The Intel Arc B580's 12 GB of memory and 192-bit bus width are being tasked with rendering increasingly more pixels, and the data shows the frame rate dropping proportionally. At 4K Ultra, the average FPS falls to 21, which is nearly unplayable. In contrast, at 1080p Low, the same combo produces 208 FPS, demonstrating that the CPU is more than capable of feeding the GPU at lower resolutions.

The delta between Low and Ultra settings at each resolution further illustrates this GPU-bound behavior. At 1080p, Low yields 208 FPS while Ultra yields 65 FPS, a 68% reduction. At 4K, Low yields 69 FPS while Ultra yields 21 FPS, a similar 70% reduction. This consistency suggests that the GPU's workload scales linearly with both resolution and settings, and the Ryzen 5 7400F's six cores and 12 threads are not introducing a bottleneck at any tested configuration.

GPU Role

The Intel Arc B580 operates with a base clock of 2670 MHz and a boost clock of 2670 MHz, making it a fixed-clock GPU in this configuration. Its 12 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 192-bit bus delivers 456.0 GB/s of bandwidth. These specifications underpin its performance in Allods Online, where the measured data shows a clear hierarchy based on settings.

At 2560x1440, the GPU produces 131 FPS on Low, 103 FPS on Medium, 65 FPS on High, and 41 FPS on Ultra. The gap between Medium and High is particularly notable, with a 38 FPS drop, suggesting that High settings introduce effects that heavily tax the GPU. The 4K results follow the same pattern: 69 FPS on Low, 54 FPS on Medium, 34 FPS on High, and 21 FPS on Ultra. The step from Medium to High at 4K costs 20 FPS, again indicating a significant increase in shader or texture complexity.

The GPU's 2560 shading units and 160 texture mapping units are being pushed hard at higher settings. The passmark_g3d score of 15748 places this GPU in the 68th percentile of all GPUs, and the nearest rival data shows it performing within 1% of the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 and the AMD Radeon RX 580 2048SP. This indicates that while the B580 is not a top-tier card, it holds its own in this MMO, particularly at 1080p where the CPU can keep it fed with data.

Settings Recommendations

Based on the measured rows, the Medium preset offers the best balance of visual quality and frame rate for this combination. At 1920x1080, Medium delivers an average of 163 FPS, which is well above the threshold for smooth gameplay, and it maintains a minimum of 138 FPS. At 2560x1440, Medium drops to 103 FPS average with a 87 FPS minimum, which is still fluid for an MMORPG. The High preset at 1440p yields 65 FPS, which is playable but noticeably less smooth, and at 4K it falls to 34 FPS, which is borderline.

The Low preset provides the highest frame rates—208 FPS at 1080p and 131 FPS at 1440p—but it sacrifices visual fidelity. For players prioritizing competitive responsiveness, Low is the clear choice. However, for most users, Medium appears to be the sweet spot, as it retains enough graphical detail while keeping the average FPS above 100 at 1080p and above 60 at 1440p.

Ultra settings are not recommended for this combo. At 1080p, Ultra produces 65 FPS, which is acceptable, but at 1440p it drops to 41 FPS, and at 4K it falls to 21 FPS. The data shows that Ultra settings tax the GPU heavily, and given that Medium offers a 98 FPS advantage at 1080p, the visual improvement from Ultra is not worth the performance cost in this game.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 5 7400F is a six-core, 12-thread processor based on the Zen 4 architecture with a base clock of 3.70 GHz and a boost clock of 4.70 GHz. Its 32 MB of shared L3 cache and dual-channel DDR5 memory support provide 83.2 GB/s of memory bandwidth. In Allods Online, the CPU's role appears to be secondary to the GPU, as the frame rate scaling is more dependent on resolution and settings than on CPU frequency.

The CPU's benchmark scores are respectable, with a Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 21765 and a single-core score of 3072. The passmark_multithread score of 25645 places it in the 83rd percentile of all CPUs. However, in this MMO, the measured FPS data shows that the B580 is the primary driver of performance. At 1080p Low, the combo hits 208 FPS, which is high but not CPU-limited, as the GPU is still able to render frames faster than at higher resolutions.

The nearest rivals for the CPU include the Intel Core i5-14600T and the AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 6850H, with deltaPct values of 0.1% and -0.2% respectively. This indicates that the 7400F performs on par with these chips in synthetic benchmarks, but the game's results are more heavily influenced by the GPU. The CPU's 12 threads are sufficient for the MMORPG's workload, and the data shows no signs of CPU bottlenecking, even at the highest frame rates.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the measured average FPS across settings is as follows: Low yields 208 FPS, Medium yields 163 FPS with a minimum of 138 and a maximum of 187, High yields 103 FPS, and Ultra yields 65 FPS. The step from Low to Medium costs 45 FPS, while the step from Medium to High costs 60 FPS, making High the most demanding jump in this resolution.

At 2560x1440, the average FPS drops across the board. Low produces 131 FPS, Medium produces 103 FPS with a minimum of 87 and a maximum of 118, High produces 65 FPS, and Ultra produces 41 FPS. The gap between High and Ultra is 24 FPS, which is smaller than the 38 FPS gap between Medium and High, suggesting that Ultra adds less incremental load at this resolution.

At 3840x2160, the average FPS is 69 on Low, 54 on Medium with a minimum of 46 and a maximum of 62, 34 on High, and 21 on Ultra. The scaling from 1440p to 4K is roughly a 50% reduction in FPS for each settings tier, which aligns with the fourfold increase in pixel count. The minimum FPS at 4K Medium is 46, which is still above 30, but the Ultra preset's 21 FPS average makes it unsuitable for gameplay.

How This Combo Ranks

The AMD Ryzen 5 7400F and Intel Arc B580 combination ranks 2064 out of 2775 tested combos in Allods Online. This places it in the lower-middle tier of all configurations, which is consistent with the individual component rankings. The CPU is in the 83rd percentile of all CPUs, while the GPU is in the 68th percentile of all GPUs, yet the combo's game-specific rank is below what those percentiles might suggest.

This discrepancy likely stems from the game's age and its optimization. Allods Online, released in 2010, may not fully utilize the B580's modern features, such as its DirectX 12 Ultimate support and ray tracing cores. The GPU's passmark_directx_9 score of 183 is notably higher than its DirectX 12 score of 76, indicating that older APIs run better on this hardware. Since MMORPGs often rely on older rendering paths, the B580 may not showcase its full potential in this title.

Compared to other tested combos, this configuration falls behind many, but it still delivers playable frame rates at 1080p and 1440p on Medium settings. The rank of 2064 out of 2775 means that roughly 74% of tested combos perform better in this game, but the data shows that this pairing is adequate for mainstream gaming at 1080p and is a viable option for 1440p with adjusted settings. The combo's performance is consistent with its component-level benchmark scores, and the measured FPS aligns with the expected scaling curves.
