CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 7 9700F is an 8-core, 16-thread processor built on the Zen 5 architecture with the Granite Ridge codename. It operates on a 4 nm process from TSMC, with a base clock of 3.80 GHz and a boost clock of 5.50 GHz. The 65 W TDP and unlocked multiplier make it a flexible desktop part, though the integrated graphics are listed as N/A, meaning the Arc B580 handles all rendering duties. The processor’s cache hierarchy includes 80 KB of L1 per core, 1 MB of L2 per core, and 32 MB of shared L3 cache. Memory support is dual-channel DDR5 with 89.6 GB/s bandwidth and ECC capability.

In Allods Online, an MMORPG that relies heavily on single-threaded performance for game logic and UI responsiveness, the Ryzen 7 9700F’s single-thread score of 4,691 (PassMark) is a key asset. This places the CPU in the 94th percentile of all CPUs, with a multithread score of 36,470 and an average benchmark score of 69,996. The processor’s nearest rivals show how tightly grouped the mid-to-high-end desktop market is: the Ryzen 9 7940HX scores 69,875 (0.2% lower), the Core i7-14700KF scores 70,163 (0.2% higher), the Ryzen 9 7950X scores 69,515 (0.7% lower), and the Core i7-14700K scores 69,355 (0.9% lower). This means the 9700F effectively trades blows with HX-class mobile chips and previous-generation flagship desktop parts.

For Allods Online specifically, the CPU’s strong integer and floating-point performance (120,788 and 77,955 in PassMark, respectively) helps maintain consistent frame rates in crowded areas where many player characters and NPCs are present. The data compression score of 421,988 and encryption score of 21,488 indicate robust general-purpose compute that benefits MMORPG server-side tasks and client-side asset streaming. The physics score of 2,122 and extended instructions score of 33,688 round out a well-balanced package that does not bottleneck the Arc B580 at lower resolutions.

The 9700F’s 8 cores and 16 threads are more than adequate for a game that was released in 2010. The data shows that at 1080p Low settings, the combo achieves 208 FPS, suggesting the CPU can feed the GPU well above typical display refresh rates. The single-thread performance is particularly relevant because Allods Online’s engine, like many MMORPGs, often has a primary game thread that limits performance regardless of core count. With a boost clock of 5.50 GHz, the 9700F provides the high-frequency responsiveness that such titles require.

GPU Role

The Intel Arc B580 is a Battlemage-generation GPU based on the Xe2-HPG architecture, built on a 5 nm process from TSMC with 19,600 million transistors on a 272 mm² die. It features 2,560 shading units, 160 TMUs, 80 ROPs, and 20 RT cores. The base and boost clocks are both 2670 MHz, with memory running at 2375 MHz (19 Gbps effective). The 12 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 192-bit bus delivers 456.0 GB/s of bandwidth. Pixel rate is 213.6 GPixel/s, texture rate is 427.2 GTexel/s, and FP32 throughput is 13.67 TFLOPS. The card has a 190 W TDP, requires a 450 W power supply, and connects via PCIe 4.0 x8.

The Arc B580’s percentile ranking of 68 places it in the upper third of all GPUs, but its nearest rivals reveal a competitive mid-range positioning. The RX 580 2048SP scores 23,061 (0.2% higher), the RTX 2080 scores 22,895 (0.6% lower), the RTX 3080 scores 23,172 (0.7% higher), and the P106-100 scores 23,249 (1% higher). This grouping suggests that the B580 delivers raw compute performance similar to older high-end cards like the RTX 2080, though modern architectural features and the 12 GB VRAM give it additional headroom for texture-heavy workloads.

In Allods Online, the GPU’s role is most evident at higher resolutions and settings. At 1080p Low, the combo hits 208 FPS, which is likely CPU-limited or engine-limited given the modest GPU demands of a 2010 MMORPG. As resolution increases to 1440p, the averages drop to 131 FPS at Low and 65 FPS at High. At 4K, the GPU becomes the clear limiting factor: High settings yield only 34 FPS, and Ultra drops to 21 FPS. The 12 GB VRAM is ample for this game, but the B580’s raw fill rate and shader throughput are insufficient for 4K Ultra in this title.

The DirectX 12 score of 76 and DirectX 11 score of 128 in PassMark indicate that the B580 performs better in older APIs, which is relevant for Allods Online given its 2010 release date and likely DirectX 9/11 rendering path. The Vulkan score of 109,672 in Geekbench and OpenCL score of 92,821 show strong compute capabilities, but these do not translate to better frame rates in this MMORPG. The GPU’s G3D score of 15,748 and G2D score of 709 provide context for its overall graphics and 2D performance, though the in-game measurements are more relevant for this analysis.

How This Combo Ranks

The AMD Ryzen 7 9700F + Intel Arc B580 combination ranks 2,064 out of 2,775 tested combos for Allods Online. This places it in the 74th percentile of all tested configurations, meaning it outperforms 74% of CPU-GPU pairs in this game. The ranking reflects a balanced but not exceptional setup: the CPU is in the 94th percentile of all CPUs, while the GPU sits at the 68th percentile. The combination’s 74th-percentile game ranking is lower than the CPU’s individual percentile, indicating that the GPU is the limiting factor in most scenarios.

Compared to the CPU’s nearest rivals, the 9700F’s performance is nearly identical to the Ryzen 9 7940HX, Core i7-14700KF, Ryzen 9 7950X, and Core i7-14700K. This means that swapping the CPU to any of these would result in minimal frame rate changes in Allods Online, as the game is not heavily CPU-bound at most settings. Similarly, the GPU’s nearest rivals—RX 580 2048SP, RTX 2080, RTX 3080, and P106-100—all score within 1% of the Arc B580 in average benchmarks. In practice, the B580’s 12 GB VRAM and modern architecture give it advantages in newer titles, but in Allods Online, the data shows that the frame rates are consistent with this performance tier.

The combo’s rank of 2,064 out of 2,775 suggests that there are 711 tested combinations that perform better in this game. These likely include higher-end GPUs like the RTX 3080 (which scores 0.7% higher in average benchmarks) or CPUs with higher single-thread scores. However, the ranking also indicates that the 9700F + B580 combo is far from the bottom; it outperforms 711 fewer combos than the worst performers, and its 74th-percentile placement means it handles Allods Online comfortably at 1080p and 1440p with appropriate settings.

The data confirms that this is a mid-range combo that punches above its weight in a 14-year-old MMORPG. The ranking is driven more by the GPU than the CPU, as evidenced by the fact that the CPU’s 94th-percentile standing does not lift the combo’s rank further. For players targeting 1080p or 1440p gaming in Allods Online, this combo delivers good results, but 4K enthusiasts would need a more powerful GPU to achieve playable frame rates at higher settings.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the combo delivers its strongest performance. Low settings produce an average of 208 FPS, which is more than sufficient for any display. Medium settings average 163 FPS, with a minimum of 138 FPS and maximum of 187 FPS, showing tight frame pacing. High settings average 103 FPS, still comfortably above 60 FPS. Ultra settings drop to 65 FPS average, which is playable but represents a significant step down from High.

At 2560x1440, the performance scales predictably. Low settings average 131 FPS, which remains excellent. Medium settings average 103 FPS, with a range of 87 to 118 FPS, indicating some variance but no severe stutters. High settings average 65 FPS, which is right at the threshold for smooth gameplay. Ultra settings fall to 41 FPS average, which may feel choppy in fast-paced encounters.

At 3840x2160, the GPU becomes the bottleneck. Low settings average 69 FPS, which is playable but requires significant visual compromises. Medium settings average 54 FPS, with a range of 46 to 62 FPS, meaning some scenes will dip below 60 FPS. High settings average 34 FPS, which is marginal for an MMORPG. Ultra settings average 21 FPS, which is not recommended for any gameplay scenario.

The data shows a clear pattern: the combo excels at 1080p across all settings, handles 1440p well up to High, and only achieves acceptable performance at 4K with Low or Medium settings. The jump from Medium to High at 4K costs 20 FPS (54 to 34), while the jump from High to Ultra costs another 13 FPS (34 to 21). At 1440p, the same jumps cost 38 FPS (103 to 65) and 24 FPS (65 to 41), respectively. At 1080p, the cost is 60 FPS (163 to 103) and 38 FPS (103 to 65).

Settings Recommendations

For the best experience with this combo, 1920x1080 resolution with Medium settings is the optimal choice. The data shows an average of 163 FPS with a minimum of 138 FPS, ensuring smooth gameplay even in crowded areas. The 138 FPS minimum is well above the 60 FPS threshold that most players consider essential for an MMORPG. High settings at 1080p also work well, with a 103 FPS average, but the additional visual fidelity comes at a 37% performance cost compared to Medium.

At 2560x1440, Medium settings are again the best recommendation, with a 103 FPS average and 87 FPS minimum. This provides a good balance between visual quality and performance. High settings at 1440p are viable for players with 60 Hz displays, as the 65 FPS average is just above the threshold, but the lack of minimum FPS data suggests potential dips below 60 FPS in demanding scenes. Low settings at 1440p deliver 131 FPS but sacrifice too much visual quality for the modest resolution gain.

For 4K, the data suggests that Medium settings are the only viable option, with a 54 FPS average and 46 FPS minimum. Low settings at 4K offer 69 FPS but significantly reduced graphical fidelity, which undermines the purpose of playing at such a high resolution. High and Ultra settings at 4K are not recommended, as the 34 FPS and 21 FPS averages, respectively, fall below acceptable playability standards for an MMORPG.

The overall recommendation is to prioritize 1080p or 1440p with Medium settings. This delivers the best balance of frame rate consistency and visual quality. If a player has a 144 Hz monitor, 1080p Medium or High settings will maximize the refresh rate utilization. For 60 Hz displays, 1440p Medium or High settings provide an excellent experience. The Ultra preset, regardless of resolution, represents a significant performance hit that is unlikely to justify the visual improvements in a game from 2010.
