# Allods Online with AMD Ryzen 7 3700X + Intel Arc B370

This combination of the AMD Ryzen 7 3700X processor and Intel Arc B370 graphics lands at rank 2559 out of 2775 tested combos in Allods Online, placing it in the lower 8% of all configurations measured. The pairing produces playable frame rates at lower settings and resolutions, but the GPU becomes a clear limiting factor as visual fidelity and pixel count increase. The data shows a system that can handle the MMORPG at 1080p with adjusted settings, yet struggles to maintain smooth performance at higher resolutions or Ultra presets.

How This Combo Ranks

The combo rank of 2559 out of 2775 puts this configuration near the bottom of the tested pool, with roughly 92% of other CPU-GPU pairings achieving better results in Allods Online. This low ranking is driven primarily by the Intel Arc B370's position in the GPU hierarchy — it sits at the 5th percentile among all GPUs, meaning 95% of graphics cards tested outperform it. The processor, by contrast, is a mid-range performer sitting at the 84th percentile among all CPUs, which indicates the CPU is not the primary bottleneck in this setup.

Looking at the GPU's nearest rivals clarifies the performance tier. The Intel Arc B370 scores 1184 in the 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 benchmark, which is effectively tied with the ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5570 (1186, 0.2% ahead of the B370) and the ATI Radeon HD 5770 (1190, 0.5% ahead). The AMD Radeon HD 7650M sits just 0.7% ahead at 1192, while the AMD FirePro M2000 trails by 1.4% at 1168. These rivals represent hardware from an earlier era, and the B370's placement among them confirms its integrated-class performance level.

The CPU's nearest rivals tell a different story. The AMD Ryzen 7 3700X averages 34260 across its benchmark suite, placing it within 0.5% of the AMD Ryzen AI 7 350 (34222, 0.1% behind), the AMD EPYC 4244P (34220, 0.1% behind), and the Intel Core Ultra 7 165H (34083, 0.5% behind). The Intel Core i5-13450HX edges ahead by 0.2% at 34333. This clustering shows the 3700X remains competitive with much newer processors in general compute, but that strength does not translate to Allods Online performance because the GPU cannot feed frames fast enough.

GPU Role

The Intel Arc B370 is an integrated graphics processor built on Intel's Xe3-LPG architecture with the Panther Lake chip, fabricated on a 3 nm process. It operates with a base clock of 300 MHz and a boost clock of 2400 MHz, and it draws just 25 W of power. The GPU has 1280 shading units, 40 texture mapping units, and 20 raster operation pipelines, along with 10 ray tracing cores. Its compute capabilities include 6.144 TFLOPS of FP32 performance and 12.29 TFLOPS of FP16 performance, with a pixel rate of 48.00 GPixel/s and a texture rate of 96.00 GTexel/s.

The memory configuration is System Shared, meaning the GPU uses the system's main memory rather than dedicated VRAM. The memory bus width and bandwidth are listed as System Shared and System Dependent, respectively, which means performance scales with the host system's memory subsystem. For this pairing with the Ryzen 7 3700X, which supports dual-channel DDR4 with 51.2 GB/s of memory bandwidth, the shared memory arrangement can create contention between CPU and GPU memory demands.

In Allods Online, the GPU's limitations appear immediately. At 1080p Ultra, the combo averages 34 FPS, which is identical to the 34 FPS achieved at 1440p High — an unusual pattern that suggests the GPU is hitting a compute ceiling rather than a memory bandwidth limit. The 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 1184 places the B370 at the 5th percentile among all GPUs, and its nearest rivals are all legacy cards from the HD 5000 and 6000 series, reinforcing that this is entry-level graphics performance.

Q: Does the combo perform better at lower resolutions?

A: Yes. The average FPS increases from 18 at 4K High to 34 at 1440p High and 53 at 1080p High. At Low settings, the jump is steeper: 36 FPS at 4K, 68 FPS at 1440p, and 108 FPS at 1080p, showing resolution scaling is significant throughout the settings range.

Settings Recommendations

The measured data provides four preset options at each of three resolutions, and the results vary dramatically across these settings. At 1920x1080, the Low preset delivers 108 FPS average, which is the only setting in the entire test matrix that exceeds 100 FPS. The Medium preset at 85 FPS average (with a 72-97 FPS range) is the best balance for smooth gameplay, as it stays comfortably above 60 FPS while offering improved visual quality over Low. The High preset drops to 53 FPS, which falls below the 60 FPS threshold that most players consider the baseline for fluid MMORPG combat, and Ultra falls further to 34 FPS, which is playable but noticeably stutter-prone.

At 2560x1440, the Low preset averages 68 FPS, which remains above 60 FPS and is the only 1440p option that clears this threshold. The Medium preset drops to 53 FPS (45-61 FPS range), which is borderline acceptable but may show dips during crowded scenes. High falls to 34 FPS and Ultra to 21 FPS, both of which are too low for comfortable gameplay in a genre that requires responsive input. At 3840x2160, even Low only manages 36 FPS, and Medium drops to 28 FPS (24-32 FPS range), making 4K impractical for this combination.

The recommendation from the measured data is clear: for a consistently smooth experience, use the Low preset at 1080p, which provides 108 FPS and headroom for demanding MMORPG scenarios like large raids or crowded cities. For a balance of visual quality and performance, the Medium preset at 1080p (85 FPS) is the best choice, as it maintains fluidity while improving fidelity. The Medium preset at 1440p (53 FPS) is the only viable option for users who prioritize resolution over settings, but it comes with the risk of drops to 45 FPS in heavy scenes. The High and Ultra presets at any resolution above 1080p Low are not recommended based on the measured frame rates.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the combo produces its strongest results. The Low preset averages 108 FPS, which is the highest recorded value across the entire test suite. The Medium preset averages 85 FPS with a measured range of 72 to 97 FPS, showing some variance but remaining playable throughout. The High preset drops to 53 FPS, a substantial 37.6% reduction from Medium, and the Ultra preset falls to 34 FPS, which is another 35.8% reduction from High. This progression shows steep performance penalties for each step up in visual quality.

At 2560x1440, the pattern continues but with lower absolute values. The Low preset averages 68 FPS, which is 37.0% lower than the 1080p Low result. The Medium preset averages 53 FPS with a range of 45 to 61 FPS, making it borderline for smooth play. The High preset drops to 34 FPS, which is exactly the same as the 1080p Ultra result — an interesting data point suggesting the GPU hits a similar compute limit in both scenarios. The Ultra preset falls to 21 FPS, which is below the threshold for acceptable playability.

At 3840x2160, the performance becomes marginal across all settings. The Low preset averages 36 FPS, which is playable only in the most forgiving scenes. The Medium preset averages 28 FPS with a range of 24 to 32 FPS, and the High preset drops to 18 FPS. The Ultra preset bottoms out at 11 FPS, which is essentially a slideshow. The gap between Low and Ultra at 4K is 25 FPS, showing that the GPU's limited compute resources are overwhelmed by the 4K pixel count regardless of settings.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 7 3700X is an 8-core, 16-thread processor from the Zen 2 architecture, codenamed Matisse, built on TSMC's 7 nm process. It has a base clock of 3.60 GHz and a boost clock of 4.40 GHz, with a 65 W TDP. The cache hierarchy includes 64 KB of L1 per core, 512 KB of L2 per core, and 32 MB of shared L3 cache. The processor supports dual-channel DDR4 memory with 51.2 GB/s of bandwidth and connects via PCIe Gen 4 with 24 lanes.

In synthetic benchmarks, the 3700X posts a PassMark multithread score of 22458 and a single-thread score of 2656. Its Geekbench scores are 8899 multicore and 1593 singlecore, while Cinebench R15 results are 2092 multicore and 204 singlecore. The average benchmark score across all tests is 34260, placing it at the 84th percentile among all CPUs. Its nearest rivals — the AMD Ryzen AI 7 350 (34222), AMD EPYC 4244P (34220), Intel Core i5-13450HX (34333), and Intel Core Ultra 7 165H (34083) — are all within 0.5% of its average, showing the 3700X remains competitive with newer silicon.

For Allods Online, the CPU's role is secondary to the GPU in most scenarios. The 1080p Low result of 108 FPS suggests the CPU can feed frames at a reasonably high rate, but the performance collapse at higher settings and resolutions points to GPU limitation rather than CPU bottleneck. The fact that 1440p High (34 FPS) matches 1080p Ultra (34 FPS) exactly indicates the GPU is the limiting component at those settings, as the CPU would be able to maintain higher frame rates if the GPU could render them.

Resolution Scaling

The measured data shows how frame rates scale with resolution across each settings preset. At Low settings, the average FPS drops from 108 at 1080p to 68 at 1440p — a 37.0% reduction — and then to 36 at 4K, which is a 47.1% reduction from 1440p and a 66.7% reduction from 1080p. This steep decline indicates the GPU is heavily pixel-bound, with the shared memory architecture likely exacerbating the bandwidth demands of higher resolutions.

At Medium settings, the scaling is similar: 85 FPS at 1080p drops to 53 FPS at 1440p (37.6% reduction) and then to 28 FPS at 4K (47.2% reduction from 1440p). The High preset shows 53 FPS at 1080p, 34 FPS at 1440p (35.8% reduction), and 18 FPS at 4K (47.1% reduction). The Ultra preset follows the same pattern: 34 FPS at 1080p, 21 FPS at 1440p (38.2% reduction), and 11 FPS at 4K (47.6% reduction).

The consistency of these percentage drops across all four settings presets — roughly 36-38% from 1080p to 1440p and 47% from 1440p to 4K — strongly indicates that the Intel Arc B370 is the limiting component. A CPU-bound scenario would show smaller frame rate differences between resolutions, as the CPU's work does not scale with pixel count. Instead, the near-uniform scaling across presets reveals a GPU that is overwhelmed by increasing pixel workloads, with its System Shared memory configuration likely contributing to the degradation at higher resolutions where memory bandwidth demands grow. The 4K results, ranging from 11 to 36 FPS depending on settings, confirm that this combo is not suitable for high-resolution play.
