# How This Combo Ranks

The AMD Ryzen 7 5700X paired with the Intel Arc B570 lands at rank 2231 out of 2775 tested combos in Allods Online. That places it in the bottom 20% of all configurations tested, a surprisingly low position given the hardware's specifications. This ranking suggests that Allods Online, being an MMORPG from 2010, may not be particularly well-optimized for modern multi-core processors or recent GPU architectures. The combo outperforms only about 544 other combinations, which indicates that many older or mid-range systems deliver better frame rates in this specific title.

The rank becomes more telling when examining the CPU's overall percentile of 79 versus all CPUs and the GPU's percentile of 65 versus all GPUs. Both components sit comfortably above average in their respective fields, yet the combined result in this game falls well below what those individual percentiles would suggest. This discrepancy points to an optimization bottleneck rather than a raw horsepower issue. The CPU's nearest rivals — the Intel Core i5-12600K at a 0% delta, the AMD Ryzen 7 5800 at 0.2% ahead, the AMD Ryzen 5 7600X at 0.2% behind, and the Intel Core Ultra 5 125H at 0.3% ahead — all cluster within a fraction of a percent of each other. Meanwhile, the GPU's nearest rivals include the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Mobile at 0.1% ahead, the Intel Arc A750 at 0.1% behind, and notably the NVIDIA Quadro M4000M and AMD Radeon R9 M390X, both mobile or older workstation parts. This GPU comparison set suggests the Arc B570 occupies a performance tier that, in this game, does not translate into favorable rankings.

# GPU Role

The Intel Arc B570 brings 10 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 160-bit bus, delivering 380.0 GB/s of bandwidth. The memory clock runs at 2375 MHz with 19 Gbps effective speed, while the GPU core operates at a fixed 2500 MHz for both base and boost. The architecture is Xe2-HPG on TSMC's 5 nm process, with 19,600 million transistors packed into a 272 mm² die. The GPU features 2304 shading units, 144 texture mapping units, and 80 raster output pipelines, along with 18 ray tracing cores. Its FP32 throughput is 11.52 TFLOPS, with FP16 reaching 23.04 TFLOPS at a 2:1 ratio.

In Allods Online, the GPU's role becomes evident when examining the frame rate progression across settings at each resolution. At 4K, the gap between Low (61 FPS) and High (30 FPS) is 31 FPS, while the gap between High and Ultra (19 FPS) is only 11 FPS. This non-linear scaling suggests that the Ultra preset introduces effects that disproportionately tax the Arc B570's 80 ROPs and 2304 shading units. The 10 GB VRAM allocation proves sufficient even at 4K Ultra, as the frame rate drops are clearly compute-bound rather than memory-capacity-bound. The GPU's 200.0 GPixel/s pixel rate and 360.0 GTexel/s texture rate explain why Medium settings at 1440p achieve 91 FPS with a minimum of 77 FPS — the texture units handle the load comfortably, but the pixel throughput becomes a limiting factor at higher settings.

# Settings Recommendations

The measured data provides clear guidance for optimal settings at each resolution. At 1080p, Medium settings deliver 144 FPS average with a minimum of 122 FPS and a maximum of 165 FPS, making it the sweet spot for smooth gameplay. High settings drop to 91 FPS, which remains playable but sacrifices the headroom needed for busy MMORPG scenes. Ultra at 1080p falls to 57 FPS, a significant 60% reduction from Medium that few players would find justified. Low settings at 1080p reach 184 FPS, but the visual compromise is likely too steep for a game where reading UI elements and environmental details matters.

At 1440p, Medium settings again provide the best balance at 91 FPS average, with a minimum of 77 FPS and maximum of 104 FPS. Low settings reach 116 FPS, while High drops to 57 FPS and Ultra to 36 FPS. The 1440p Medium experience mirrors the 1080p Medium experience in terms of smoothness, suggesting this is the intended resolution for this combo. At 4K, the choices become constrained: Medium is the only playable preset at 47 FPS average, with a minimum of 40 FPS and maximum of 55 FPS. Low achieves 61 FPS but represents a substantial visual downgrade, while High at 30 FPS and Ultra at 19 FPS fall below acceptable thresholds for an MMORPG where combat responsiveness matters.

# Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the Arc B570 with the Ryzen 7 5700X produces 184 FPS on Low settings, 144 FPS on Medium (min 122, max 165), 91 FPS on High, and 57 FPS on Ultra. The progression from Low to Medium costs 40 FPS, Medium to High costs 53 FPS, and High to Ultra costs 34 FPS. The Medium preset's minimum of 122 FPS ensures that even in crowded areas, frame rates stay well above 100 FPS.

Moving to 2560x1440, the same settings hierarchy yields 116 FPS on Low, 91 FPS on Medium (min 77, max 104), 57 FPS on High, and 36 FPS on Ultra. The Medium preset at 1440p retains a 77 FPS minimum, which remains competitive for an MMORPG. Low at 116 FPS still offers high refresh rate potential, while High at 57 FPS and Ultra at 36 FPS demonstrate the GPU's struggle with increased pixel count at higher quality settings.

At 3840x2160, the results compress dramatically: 61 FPS on Low, 47 FPS on Medium (min 40, max 55), 30 FPS on High, and 19 FPS on Ultra. The Medium preset's minimum of 40 FPS is borderline for gameplay, while High and Ultra fall into unplayable territory. The step from 1440p to 4K at Medium settings costs 44 FPS, a 48% reduction, which underscores the pixel throughput limitations of the 80 ROPs at this resolution.

# Resolution Scaling

The frame rate scaling from 1080p to 4K reveals where the bottleneck shifts. At Medium settings, 1080p produces 144 FPS, 1440p produces 91 FPS, and 4K produces 47 FPS. The scaling factors are 0.63 from 1080p to 1440p and 0.52 from 1440p to 4K. Perfectly linear scaling based on pixel count would predict 64.8 FPS at 1440p (144 × 0.45) and 36 FPS at 4K (144 × 0.25). The measured values are higher than these predictions, indicating that the system is not purely pixel-bound at higher resolutions.

At Low settings, the scaling is 184 to 116 to 61 FPS, with factors of 0.63 and 0.53 — nearly identical to Medium. This consistency suggests the limiting component behaves similarly across quality presets. However, at High settings, the scaling shifts: 91 to 57 to 30 FPS, with factors of 0.63 and 0.53 again. The pattern holds remarkably consistent across all settings, with roughly 37% reduction from 1080p to 1440p and an additional 47-48% reduction from 1440p to 4K.

This consistent scaling pattern indicates that the Ryzen 7 5700X's 8 cores and 16 threads at 3.40 GHz base and 4.60 GHz boost are not the primary limiter. If the CPU were constraining performance, the scaling from 1080p to 4K would show less degradation at 1080p, where the CPU has less time to feed frames. Instead, the GPU's 380.0 GB/s bandwidth and 11.52 TFLOPS FP32 throughput appear to be the governing factors, with the 160-bit memory bus becoming increasingly taxed as resolution rises.

# CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 7 5700X provides 8 cores and 16 threads based on the Zen 3 architecture, fabricated on TSMC's 7 nm process. It operates at a 3.40 GHz base clock and boosts to 4.60 GHz, with a 65 W TDP. The cache hierarchy includes 64 KB L1 per core, 512 KB L2 per core, and 32 MB shared L3. Memory support is dual-channel DDR4 with 51.2 GB/s bandwidth, and the CPU connects via PCIe Gen 4 with 20 lanes. The 4,150 million transistors on a 74 mm² die give it a compact footprint for a desktop processor.

In Allods Online, the CPU's role appears secondary to the GPU based on the consistent resolution scaling patterns. However, the CPU's benchmark scores indicate it is not a weak link. The Cinebench R23 multicore score of 13184 and single-core score of 1499, combined with Geekbench scores of 10779 multicore and 2016 single-core, demonstrate strong performance for a 2022 processor. The PassMark multithread score of 26612 and single-thread score of 3385 further confirm its capabilities.

The CPU's percentile of 79 versus all CPUs places it above the majority of processors, and its nearest rivals in average benchmark score are tightly clustered: the Intel Core i5-12600K matches at 27578 with 0% delta, the AMD Ryzen 7 5800 scores 27535 (0.2% ahead), the AMD Ryzen 5 7600X scores 27636 (0.2% behind), and the Intel Core Ultra 5 125H scores 27507 (0.3% ahead). This clustering means the Ryzen 7 5700X is effectively interchangeable with these alternatives in terms of raw processing power.

For Allods Online specifically, the 8-core/16-thread configuration should handle the game's background tasks, network processing, and UI rendering without issue. The 32 MB shared L3 cache provides ample room for the game's data sets, and the 4.60 GHz boost clock ensures responsive single-threaded performance for game logic. The data suggests that the CPU is not the limiting factor — the consistent 63% frame rate retention from 1080p to 1440p across all settings points to GPU-bound performance, allowing the CPU to feed frames at a rate the Arc B570 can process at each resolution.
