Allods Online

The AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D paired with the Intel Arc B580 lands at rank 1344 out of 1715 tested combos in Allods Online, placing it in the lower-mid pack for this specific MMORPG. The CPU sits at the 90th percentile among all tested processors, while the GPU holds the 66th percentile among all tested graphics cards — a mismatch that shows up clearly in the frame rate data. This combination is not a top-tier performer for Allods Online, but the measured results reveal a predictable pattern: the Arc B580 becomes the limiting factor at higher resolutions, while the 9800X3D has ample headroom to push frame rates when the GPU is not saturated.

How This Combo Ranks

The combo’s rank of 1344 out of 1715 tested combos places it in the bottom quarter of the database for Allods Online. That sounds worse than it is — the game is an MMORPG from 2010, and the measured results show the pairing is fully capable of smooth play at reasonable settings. The CPU’s 90th percentile ranking among all CPUs indicates the Ryzen 7 9800X3D is a high-end part, with an average benchmark score of 37780. Its nearest rivals in the CPU benchmark database are the Intel Xeon 6353P (37811, delta -0.1%), the Intel Core Ultra 5 225 (37831, delta -0.1%), the Intel Core i9-13900HK (38020, delta -0.6%), and the Intel Core i5-13600KF (38028, delta -0.7%). The deltas are negligible — the 9800X3D is effectively tied with these chips in aggregate CPU performance, trailing the i5-13600KF by less than 1%.

The GPU side is different. The Arc B580’s average benchmark score of 23021 places it at the 66th percentile, with nearest rivals including the AMD Radeon 760M (22999, delta 0.1%), the NVIDIA P106-100 (22950, delta 0.3%), the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 (23181, delta -0.7%), and the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 Mobile (22729, delta 1.3%). The B580 is within 1% of the RTX 4060 desktop in aggregate GPU benchmarks, which is useful context. The ranking of this combo in Allods Online is dragged down by the GPU’s mid-tier position; the CPU is not the bottleneck in most measured scenarios. The data shows a pairing where the processor is overqualified for the graphics card’s output in this particular game.

Settings Recommendations

The measured frame rates across settings and resolutions show a clear hierarchy. At 1080p, the Low preset delivers 204.4 FPS, Medium drops to 163.8 FPS, High settles at 101.2 FPS, and Ultra falls to 62.6 FPS. At 1440p, Low yields 133.1 FPS, Medium brings 100.2 FPS, High manages 61.3 FPS, and Ultra drops to 40.3 FPS. At 4K, Low produces 65.5 FPS, Medium gives 54.8 FPS, High falls to 36.2 FPS, and Ultra bottoms out at 19.3 FPS.

The best experience per the measured rows is the Medium preset at 1080p. It delivers 163.8 FPS, which is more than enough for smooth gameplay in an MMORPG, and it sits far above the 60 FPS threshold. High at 1080p is also playable at 101.2 FPS, but Medium offers a large margin of safety for busy raid scenes or crowded cities where frame rates can dip. Ultra at 1080p is playable at 62.6 FPS, but it is close to the edge — any demanding scene could push it below 60. At 1440p, Medium is the sweet spot at 100.2 FPS, while High at 61.3 FPS is acceptable but less comfortable. At 4K, only Low (65.5 FPS) and Medium (54.8 FPS) are viable; High and Ultra are not recommended for consistent play.

The data suggests that Medium is the ceiling for this pairing if you want to stay above 100 FPS at 1080p or 1440p. If you prioritize visual quality over raw frame rate, High at 1080p (101.2 FPS) or 1440p (61.3 FPS) is workable. Ultra is only just playable at 1080p and should be avoided at higher resolutions.

Resolution Scaling

The frame rate scaling from 1080p to 4K reveals the GPU as the primary limiting component. At Low settings, 1080p yields 204.4 FPS, 1440p drops to 133.1 FPS (a 34.9% reduction), and 4K falls to 65.5 FPS (a 68.0% reduction from 1080p). At Medium, the progression is 163.8 FPS at 1080p, 100.2 FPS at 1440p (a 38.8% drop), and 54.8 FPS at 4K (a 66.5% drop). At High, 1080p gives 101.2 FPS, 1440p gives 61.3 FPS (a 39.4% drop), and 4K gives 36.2 FPS (a 64.2% drop). At Ultra, 1080p produces 62.6 FPS, 1440p produces 40.3 FPS (a 35.6% drop), and 4K produces 19.3 FPS (a 69.2% drop).

The consistent pattern — roughly 35% loss from 1080p to 1440p and roughly 65-69% loss from 1080p to 4K across all settings — is a classic sign of a GPU-bound scenario. The frame rate scales inversely with pixel count, which is what happens when the graphics card is doing the heavy lifting. If the CPU were the bottleneck, the drop from 1080p to 1440p would be much smaller, because the CPU would already be maxed out at 1080p. Instead, the data shows the Arc B580’s workload increasing proportionally with resolution. The Ryzen 7 9800X3D is not the constraint here; the GPU’s rendering capabilities dictate the results.

The 4K numbers are telling. At 4K Low, the pairing manages 65.5 FPS, which is playable. At 4K Medium, it drops to 54.8 FPS, which is borderline. The GPU’s 12 GB of GDDR6 memory and 456.0 GB/s bandwidth are sufficient for the game’s demands, but the raw compute power (13.67 TFLOPS FP32) is not enough to maintain high frame rates at 4K with higher quality settings. The 192-bit memory bus and 80 ROPs are mid-range specs, and the results reflect that.

The Ryzen 7 9800X3D’s 90th percentile CPU ranking and high benchmark scores indicate it has significant headroom, while the Arc B580’s 66th percentile GPU ranking caps performance.

GPU Role

The Intel Arc B580 is a mid-range GPU built on the Xe2-HPG architecture, manufactured on a 5 nm process at TSMC with 19,600 million transistors on a 272 mm² die. It has 2560 shading units, 160 TMUs, 80 ROPs, and 20 ray tracing cores. The base and boost clocks are both 2670 MHz, which is a modest clock speed for a modern GPU. Memory consists of 12 GB of GDDR6 on a 192-bit bus, yielding a bandwidth of 456.0 GB/s. The memory clock is 2375 MHz with 19 Gbps effective speed.

In Allods Online, the GPU’s performance is the defining factor in the measured frame rates. At 1080p Low, the B580 pushes 204.4 FPS, which shows the card can handle the game’s older engine at lower settings. However, the drop to 62.6 FPS at 1080p Ultra indicates the card’s limits under higher shading and texture loads. The 4K results are even more telling: 65.5 FPS at Low versus 19.3 FPS at Ultra. The GPU’s FP32 compute of 13.67 TFLOPS and texture rate of 427.2 GTexel/s are sufficient for 1080p and 1440p gaming at medium settings, but the 4K Ultra result of 19.3 FPS shows the card is out of its depth at the highest quality settings and resolutions.

The GPU’s average benchmark score of 23021 places it at the 66th percentile, with a Passmark G3D score of 15748 and a 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 3068. These synthetic benchmarks align with the in-game results: the B580 is a capable 1080p and 1440p card, but it is not built for 4K high-quality gaming. The 12 GB VRAM is ample for Allods Online, which is not a VRAM-heavy title, but the compute and memory bandwidth limits show up in the frame rate scaling. The GPU’s 190 W TDP and dual-slot design are typical for this performance class, and the PCIe 4.0 x8 interface does not appear to hinder results in this game.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D is a high-end desktop processor with 8 cores and 16 threads, based on the Zen 5 architecture (Granite Ridge) on a 4 nm process at TSMC. It has a base clock of 4.70 GHz and a boost clock of 5.20 GHz, with a TDP of 120 W. The cache configuration includes 80 KB of L1 per core, 1 MB of L2 per core, and 96 MB of shared L3 cache. Memory support is DDR5 with dual-channel configuration and a bandwidth of 89.6 GB/s. The CPU supports ECC memory and has an integrated Radeon Graphics unit, though the discrete Arc B580 handles all rendering duties.

In Allods Online, the CPU’s role is secondary to the GPU. The measured frame rates scale heavily with resolution, which indicates the GPU is the bottleneck in most scenarios. The 9800X3D’s benchmark results show it is a powerful processor: Cinebench R23
