# GPU Role

The Intel Arc B370 is an integrated graphics processor based on the Xe3-LPG architecture, fabricated on Intel's 3 nm process node. Its performance characteristics are modest: the GPU runs at a base clock of 300 MHz and boosts to 2400 MHz, with 1280 shading units, 40 texture mapping units, and 20 raster output units. The pixel rate is 48.00 GPixel/s and the texture rate is 96.00 GTexel/s, while FP32 throughput reaches 6.144 TFLOPS and FP16 reaches 12.29 TFLOPS (2:1). The GPU includes 10 ray tracing cores and supports DirectX 12 Ultimate (12_2), OpenGL 4.6, and Vulkan 1.4.

Memory is "System Shared" in both size and type, with system-dependent bandwidth. This means the GPU relies on the host system's DDR5 memory rather than dedicated VRAM, which has direct implications for Allods Online performance. In this MMORPG, the measured FPS data shows that the GPU struggles at higher resolutions and settings. At 4K Ultra, the average FPS is 11, while at 4K High it is 18, and at 4K Medium it is 28. The gap between Low (36 FPS) and Ultra (11 FPS) at 4K highlights how severely the GPU is constrained by increased rendering load.

The GPU's 5th percentile ranking among all GPUs corroborates these results—it is a low-end part in absolute terms. However, the game's older release date (2010) means it is not graphically demanding by modern standards, yet the Arc B370 still falls short of smooth playability at high settings. The 3DMark Steel Nomad score of 1184 places it near the ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5570 (1186) and ATI Radeon HD 5770 (1190), both of which are over a decade old. This context is important: the Arc B370's performance is comparable to legacy discrete GPUs, not modern integrated solutions.

In Allods Online, the GPU's role becomes the primary bottleneck at 4K resolutions. The scaling from Low to Ultra shows a 69% drop in FPS at 4K (from 36 to 11), and a 69% drop at 1440p (from 68 to 21), and a 69% drop at 1080p (from 108 to 34). This consistent reduction across resolutions indicates that the GPU's shading and texture throughput limits frame rates when settings are raised, regardless of resolution.

# CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 7 7700 is a desktop processor from the 7000 series, built on Zen 4 architecture (codenamed Raphael) using TSMC's 5 nm process. It features 8 cores and 16 threads, with a base clock of 3.80 GHz and a boost clock of 5.30 GHz. The CPU has 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 dual-channel configuration, offering 83.2 GB/s of memory bandwidth, and includes ECC memory support. The CPU integrates Radeon Graphics, but the measured FPS data uses the discrete Arc B370 GPU.

The Ryzen 7 7700's CPU benchmarks are strong: Cinebench R23 multicore scores 18760 and singlecore 1930; Geekbench multicore is 15371 and singlecore 2525; 3DMark 16-thread scores 8484, and single-thread scores 1049. The PassMark multithread score is 34470, with single-thread at 4063. The CPU ranks in the 87th percentile among all CPUs, and its average benchmark score is 40081, with nearest rivals including the AMD Ryzen AI 9 365 (40048, +0.1%), Intel Core 5 221E (40144, -0.2%), AMD Ryzen 9 270 (40246, -0.4%), and Intel Core i9-13905H (40313, -0.6%).

In Allods Online, the CPU's role is less critical than the GPU's, given the game's age and the measured FPS patterns. At 1080p Low, the combo achieves 108 FPS, which suggests the CPU can feed frames at a reasonable rate. However, the CPU's 87th percentile ranking indicates it is a high-end part, and it is not the limiting factor in this configuration. The game is an MMORPG, which typically involves many concurrent players and scripted events that can strain single-thread performance, but the Ryzen 7 7700's single-thread scores (Cinebench R15 singlecore 308, Geekbench singlecore 2525, PassMark single-thread 4063) are robust enough for this workload.

The data shows that at 1080p Low, the FPS reaches 108, but at 1080p High it drops to 53—a 51% reduction. This is unlikely to be CPU-bound, as the CPU's performance is consistent across resolutions. Instead, the GPU's limited shading units (1280) and texture units (40) are the bottleneck when settings increase. The CPU's 16 threads and 5.30 GHz boost clock ensure that even in crowded MMO scenarios, the processor can maintain frame pacing, but the GPU cannot keep up at higher quality presets.

# How This Combo Ranks

The AMD Ryzen 7 7700 + Intel Arc B370 combination ranks 2559 out of 2775 tested combos in Allods Online. This places it in the bottom 8% of all configurations, which is a poor result for a CPU that ranks in the 87th percentile. The stark contrast between the CPU's high percentile (87) and the combo's low rank (2559) underscores that the GPU is the dominant constraint.

The GPU's 5th percentile ranking among all GPUs is the primary reason for this low combo rank. In a game like Allods Online, which is not graphically intensive, the Arc B370 still fails to deliver playable frame rates at higher settings. At 1080p Ultra, the combo averages 34 FPS, which is below the 60 FPS threshold for smooth gameplay. At 1440p Ultra, it drops to 21 FPS, and at 4K Ultra, it reaches just 11 FPS.

Given the CPU's capabilities, the combo rank would be significantly higher with a more powerful GPU. The Ryzen 7 7700's 8 cores and 16 threads are more than sufficient for this MMORPG, as evidenced by the 108 FPS at 1080p Low. The data suggests that the CPU is not holding back performance; rather, the GPU's 1280 shading units and 20 ROPs are insufficient for higher quality presets. The combo rank of 2559 reflects the GPU's limitations, not the CPU's.

# Resolution Scaling

The measured FPS data shows clear resolution scaling patterns for this combo. At Low settings, the average FPS drops from 108 at 1080p to 68 at 1440p (a 37% reduction) and then to 36 at 4K (a 47% reduction from 1440p, and 67% from 1080p). At Medium settings, the FPS drops from 85 at 1080p to 53 at 1440p (a 38% reduction) and to 28 at 4K (a 47% reduction from 1440p, and 67% from 1080p). At High settings, the FPS drops from 53 at 1080p to 34 at 1440p (a 36% reduction) and to 18 at 4K (a 47% reduction from 1440p, and 66% from 1080p). At Ultra settings, the FPS drops from 34 at 1080p to 21 at 1440p (a 38% reduction) and to 11 at 4K (a 48% reduction from 1440p, and 68% from 1080p).

These consistent percentage reductions (roughly 36-38% from 1080p to 1440p, and 47-48% from 1440p to 4K) indicate that the GPU is the limiting component. If the CPU were the bottleneck, the FPS would not scale so predictably with resolution. The scaling is close to the pixel-count increase: 1440p has 1.78 times the pixels of 1080p, and 4K has 2.25 times the pixels of 1440p. The FPS reductions are slightly less than linear, which suggests some headroom, but the overall trend points to GPU-bound performance.

The data also shows that at 4K, even Low settings (36 FPS) do not achieve 60 FPS, while at 1080p Low (108 FPS) the combo is more than capable. This reinforces that the GPU's memory bandwidth (System Dependent) and compute resources are insufficient for high-resolution rendering. The CPU's 83.2 GB/s memory bandwidth is available, but the GPU's shared memory architecture cannot leverage it effectively at higher resolutions.

# Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080 (1080p), the combo achieves the following average FPS:

• Low: 108 FPS
• Medium: 85 FPS (min 72, max 97)
• High: 53 FPS
• Ultra: 34 FPS

At 2560x1440 (1440p), the average FPS is:

• Low: 68 FPS
• Medium: 53 FPS (min 45, max 61)
• High: 34 FPS
• Ultra: 21 FPS

At 3840x2160 (4K), the average FPS is:

• Low: 36 FPS
• Medium: 28 FPS (min 24, max 32)
• High: 18 FPS
• Ultra: 11 FPS

The Medium settings at each resolution include min and max FPS values, which provide additional insight. At 1080p Medium, the range is 72-97 FPS, indicating a 25 FPS variance. At 1440p Medium, the range is 45-61 FPS, a 16 FPS variance. At 4K Medium, the range is 24-32 FPS, an 8 FPS variance. The narrower variance at higher resolutions suggests that the GPU is more consistently saturated, reducing frame time spikes.

The step from Low to Medium at 1080p costs 23 FPS (from 108 to 85), while Medium to High costs 32 FPS (from 85 to 53), and High to Ultra costs 19 FPS (from 53 to 34). The largest drop is between Medium and High, which likely corresponds to increased shading and texture detail. At 1440p, the drops are 15 FPS (Low to Medium), 19 FPS (Medium to High), and 13 FPS (High to Ultra). At 4K, the drops are 8 FPS (Low to Medium), 10 FPS (Medium to High), and 7 FPS (High to Ultra).

These numbers show that the GPU's performance degrades with each settings increase, but the absolute FPS loss is smaller at higher resolutions because the baseline FPS is already low. The data indicates that the combo is only playable (above 60 FPS) at 1080p Low and Medium, and marginally playable (above 30 FPS) at 1080p High, 1440p Low, and 4K Low.

# Settings Recommendations

Based on the measured FPS data, the optimal settings for this combo in Allods Online depend on the target resolution and acceptable frame rate.

At 1920x1080, the Low preset delivers 108 FPS, which is well above the 60 FPS threshold for smooth gameplay. The Medium preset at 85 FPS (with a min of 72 FPS) also provides a comfortable margin. However, the High preset drops to 53 FPS, which may introduce noticeable stutter in fast-paced MMO combat, and Ultra at 34 FPS is not recommended for competitive play. For the best balance of visual quality and performance at 1080p, the Medium preset is the highest setting that maintains a consistently smooth experience, as its minimum FPS of 72 stays above 60.

At 2560x1440, the Low preset at 68 FPS is the only setting that exceeds 60 FPS, while Medium at 53 FPS (min 45) is borderline acceptable for casual play. High at 34 FPS and Ultra at 21 FPS are below the 30 FPS playability threshold, making them unsuitable for most users. At this resolution, the Low preset is recommended if frame rate is the priority, but users who prefer higher visual fidelity may tolerate Medium, given its 45 FPS minimum.

At 3840x2160, no setting achieves 60 FPS. The Low preset at 36 FPS is the highest average, while Medium at 28 FPS (min 24) is marginal, and High at 18 FPS and Ultra at 11 FPS are effectively unplayable. For 4K users, the Low preset is the only viable option for a semi-smooth experience, but even it falls short of ideal smoothness. The data suggests that 4K is not a practical resolution for this combo in Allods Online.

Overall, the best experience is at 1080p with Medium settings, which provides 85 FPS average and a 72 FPS minimum. This combination offers the highest visual quality that still maintains a consistent frame rate above 60 FPS. For users who prioritize frame rate above all else, 1080p Low at 108 FPS is the strongest choice. The data clearly indicates that pushing to 1440p or 4K requires significant compromises in settings, and the GPU's limitations make higher resolutions less desirable for this MMORPG.
