How This Combo Ranks

The combination of the AMD Ryzen 5 7500F and Intel Arc B370 achieves a rank of 3385 out of 3670 tested combos in Allods Online. This places the pairing in the bottom 8% of all tested configurations, a position that reflects the GPU's limited performance ceiling rather than any deficiency in the CPU. The Ryzen 5 7500F sits at the 77th percentile among all CPUs, a strong showing that indicates the processor is far more capable than the average CPU in the database. In contrast, the Arc B370 sits at just the 5th percentile among all GPUs, meaning 95% of tested graphics cards outperform it.

The disparity between the CPU's high percentile and the GPU's low percentile creates an imbalanced system where the graphics card is the definitive bottleneck. This is confirmed by the measured framerates, which show that even at 1080p Low settings, the system achieves 108 FPS average — a solid number, but one that reflects the low graphical load rather than GPU headroom. At higher settings, the framerate drops dramatically, with 1080p Ultra producing just 34 FPS average. The rank of 3385 suggests that for Allods Online, the vast majority of tested combos deliver better performance, and users of this specific pairing should expect to compromise on visual quality to maintain playable framerates.

The nearest GPU rivals to the Arc B370 — the ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5570, ATI Radeon HD 5770, and AMD Radeon HD 7650M — all score within 0.7% of the Arc B370's average benchmark score of 1184. This clustering indicates that the Arc B370 performs at a level comparable to older discrete GPUs from more than a decade ago, which explains its low percentile ranking. For Allods Online, a 2010 release, this legacy-level performance is sufficient for lower settings but struggles with the demands of higher presets.

Settings Recommendations

The measured FPS data reveals that the optimal balance between visual quality and performance for this combo is the Medium preset at 1920x1080, which delivers an average of 85 FPS with a minimum of 72 FPS and maximum of 97 FPS. This provides a comfortable margin above the 60 FPS threshold that most players consider smooth, while still offering better visual fidelity than the Low preset. At 1080p Low, the system achieves 108 FPS average, but the visual downgrade may not be worth the extra 23 FPS when Medium already maintains a stable 72 FPS minimum.

For users who prioritize visual quality, the High preset at 1080p is also viable, producing 53 FPS average. However, this is below the 60 FPS target and may result in noticeable stuttering during busy MMO scenes. The Ultra preset at any resolution is not recommended, as it produces only 34 FPS at 1080p, 21 FPS at 1440p, and 11 FPS at 4K — all well below acceptable playability thresholds.

At 2560x1440, the Medium preset delivers 53 FPS average with a minimum of 45 FPS, which is playable but not ideal for fast-paced combat. The Low preset at 1440p achieves 68 FPS average, making it the better choice for users who must run at this resolution. At 3840x2160, the Low preset is the only realistic option at 36 FPS average, though even this falls below the 60 FPS target. The Medium preset at 4K produces 28 FPS average, which is borderline unplayable for most users, and the High and Ultra presets at 18 FPS and 11 FPS respectively are effectively slideshows.

The data suggests that the Medium preset at 1080p is the sweet spot for this combo, offering the best combination of framerate stability and visual fidelity. Users demanding higher resolutions should expect to drop to Low settings, and even then, 4K will not provide a fully smooth experience.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the system delivers its strongest performance across all settings. The Low preset achieves 108 FPS average, representing the highest measured framerate in the entire dataset. The Medium preset produces 85 FPS average with a minimum of 72 FPS and maximum of 97 FPS, demonstrating consistent frame times. The High preset drops to 53 FPS average, and the Ultra preset falls to 34 FPS average. The progression from Low to Ultra at 1080p shows a 74 FPS difference, highlighting the significant performance cost of higher graphical settings.

Moving to 2560x1440, all framerates decrease substantially. The Low preset delivers 68 FPS average, a 37% reduction from the 1080p Low result. The Medium preset achieves 53 FPS average with a minimum of 45 FPS and maximum of 61 FPS. The High preset drops to 34 FPS average, and the Ultra preset produces 21 FPS average. The gap between Low and Ultra at 1440p is 47 FPS, narrower than at 1080p but still substantial.

At 3840x2160, performance becomes marginal. The Low preset delivers 36 FPS average, the only 4K preset that approaches playability. The Medium preset produces 28 FPS average with a minimum of 24 FPS and maximum of 32 FPS, showing that even the minimum framerate stays above 20 FPS. The High preset drops to 18 FPS average, and the Ultra preset falls to 11 FPS average. The difference between Low and Ultra at 4K is 25 FPS, the smallest absolute spread across all resolutions.

The data reveals that the Medium preset consistently provides the only measured minimum and maximum framerate values in the dataset, suggesting it may be the most stable preset for frame time consistency. At 1080p Medium, the minimum of 72 FPS and maximum of 97 FPS show a 25 FPS variance, while at 1440p Medium, the 45-61 FPS range shows a 16 FPS variance, and at 4K Medium, the 24-32 FPS range shows just an 8 FPS variance.

GPU Role

The Intel Arc B370 is an integrated graphics processor based on the Xe3-LPG architecture, built on Intel's 3 nm process node. It operates with a base clock of 300 MHz and a boost clock of 2400 MHz, featuring 1280 shading units, 40 texture mapping units, and 20 raster output units. The GPU includes 10 ray tracing cores and delivers a pixel rate of 48.00 GPixel/s, a texture rate of 96.00 GTexel/s, and a FP32 compute performance of 6.144 TFLOPS. The thermal design power is 25 W, and it has no power connectors, reflecting its integrated nature.

The most critical limitation of this GPU is its memory configuration: the Arc B370 uses system shared memory for both capacity and type, with a system dependent bandwidth. This means the GPU relies on the host system's DDR5 memory, which is shared with the CPU. In Allods Online, this shared memory arrangement likely contributes to the significant framerate drops at higher resolutions and settings, as the GPU competes with the CPU for memory bandwidth.

The GPU's average benchmark score of 1184 places it at the 5th percentile among all GPUs, and its nearest rivals are all legacy ATI/AMD parts from the HD 5000 and HD 7000 series. The performance delta between the Arc B370 and its closest rival, the ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5570, is just 0.2%, indicating that the Arc B370 performs at a level roughly equivalent to a 2010-era discrete mobile GPU. This explains why Allods Online, also released in 2010, runs at playable framerates on lower settings but struggles with higher presets.

The GPU's DirectX 12 Ultimate support and Vulkan 1.4 compatibility are modern features, but Allods Online's age means the game likely relies on older DirectX paths. The 25 W TDP and integrated form factor make this GPU suitable for portable devices, but the measured FPS data shows that its performance ceiling is limited in this MMO.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 5 7500F is a six-core, twelve-thread processor based on the Zen 4 architecture with the Raphael codename, manufactured on TSMC's 5 nm process. It has a base clock of 3.70 GHz and a boost clock of 5.00 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 with dual-channel configuration and a memory bandwidth of 83.2 GB/s, and it connects via PCIe Gen 5 with 24 lanes from the CPU.

The CPU's benchmark results show strong multi-threaded performance: Cinebench R23 multicore score of 22799, Geekbench multicore score of 12362, and Passmark multithread score of 26825. Single-threaded performance is also solid, with Cinebench R23 singlecore score of 3218, Geekbench singlecore score of 2374, and Passmark single-thread score of 3841. The 3DMark results show scaling from 974 in single-thread to 6379 in max-threads, indicating good multi-threading efficiency.

With an average benchmark score of 24964 and a 77th percentile ranking among all CPUs, the Ryzen 5 7500F is a capable processor that should not bottleneck Allods Online at any settings level. The nearest rival, the AMD Ryzen 5 8400F, scores 25005 (0.2% higher), while the Intel Core i7-11850H scores 24935 (0.1% lower). This places the 7500F in a tight performance cluster with these competitors.

In Allods Online, an MMORPG that may rely on single-threaded performance for game logic and multi-threaded for rendering tasks, the 7500F's strong single-core score of 3218 in Cinebench R23 and 974 in 3DMark single-thread should provide adequate CPU headroom. The 12 threads ensure that background tasks and game threads can run without contention. The CPU's 83.2 GB/s memory bandwidth also benefits the Arc B370, which relies on system memory for its frame buffer.

Resolution Scaling

The measured FPS data shows how performance scales across resolutions. At Low settings, the system delivers 108 FPS at 1080p, 68 FPS at 1440p, and 36 FPS at 4K. This represents a 37% drop from 1080p to 1440p and a 47% drop from 1440p to 4K. At Medium settings, the framerates are 85 FPS at 1080p, 53 FPS at 1440p, and 28 FPS at 4K, showing drops of 38% and 47% respectively. High settings produce 53 FPS at 1080p, 34 FPS at 1440p, and 18 FPS at 4K, with drops of 36% and 47%. Ultra settings yield 34 FPS at 1080p, 21 FPS at 1440p, and 11 FPS at 4K, with drops of 38% and 48%.

The consistent percentage drops across all settings presets — approximately 37% from 1080p to 1440p and 47% from 1440p to 4K — indicate that the GPU is the primary limiting factor at all resolutions. If the CPU were the bottleneck, the framerate would remain more constant as resolution increases, since the CPU workload would stay similar while the GPU workload grows. Instead, the framerate drops in near-linear proportion to the pixel count increase, which is the signature of a GPU-bound scenario.

The resolution scaling pattern also reveals that the Arc B370's memory bandwidth constraint becomes more pronounced at higher resolutions. At 4K, the GPU must manage four times the pixel data of 1080p, and with system shared memory, the bandwidth demands likely exceed what the DDR5 subsystem can efficiently provide. This is reflected in the 4K performance, where even the Low preset only achieves 36 FPS average.

The CPU's role in this scaling is minimal, as its strong single-threaded and multi-threaded performance ensures that it can feed the GPU with draw calls and game state updates regardless of resolution. The 7500F's 5.00 GHz boost clock and 32 MB L3 cache provide ample processing power for Allods Online's MMO workloads, which typically involve many concurrent entities and player interactions. The data confirms that users should select resolution based on their framerate targets, with 1080p being the only resolution where all settings presets remain potentially playable, and 4K being viable only at Low settings for users who accept sub-60 FPS performance.
