Allods Online

How This Combo Ranks

The AMD Ryzen 7 9850X3D paired with the Intel Arc B570 lands at rank 2231 out of 2775 tested combos in Allods Online. That places this configuration in the bottom 20 percent of all tested pairings, which is a surprisingly low result given the hardware involved. The rank reflects how this specific CPU-GPU combination performs within this particular MMORPG, not overall system capability.

The data shows a substantial mismatch between what these components achieve in synthetic benchmarks and what they deliver in Allods Online. The Ryzen 7 9850X3D sits at the 92nd percentile against all CPUs, with an average benchmark score of 58386. The Arc B570 sits at the 65th percentile against all GPUs, with an average score of 20556. Yet together they struggle to reach the upper tiers of this game's performance ladder. This disconnect suggests Allods Online presents unusual demands that neither component handles particularly well in tandem.

Looking at the nearest rivals for the CPU, the Ryzen 7 9850X3D trades blows with the Intel Xeon Platinum 8260M, which scores 58323, a delta of just 0.1 percent. The AMD chip also sits within 0.2 percent of the Intel Xeon w5-2545 (58504) and 0.5 percent of the Intel Core i9-14900 (58115). The AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX 470 trails by 0.7 percent. These are all extremely close margins, meaning the CPU is not the limiting factor in this combo's low rank. The GPU tells a similar story, with the Arc B570 matching the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Mobile within 0.1 percent (20534) and the Intel Arc A750 within 0.1 percent (20582). The NVIDIA Quadro M4000M and AMD Radeon R9 M390X also sit within half a percent.

The ranking problem likely stems from how this particular game interacts with the hardware. Allods Online launched as an older MMORPG, and the measured data reflects that this combination simply does not scale the way newer titles might. The CPU's strength in multithreaded workloads, demonstrated by a Cinebench R23 multicore score of 22807 and a single-core score of 2228, does not translate into top-tier results here. The GPU's 11.52 TFLOPS of FP32 performance and 380.0 GB/s of memory bandwidth also fail to push this combo higher in the rankings.

GPU Role

The Intel Arc B570 brings 10 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 160-bit bus, with memory running at 2375 MHz for 19 Gbps effective throughput. That yields 380.0 GB/s of bandwidth, which is respectable for a mid-range card. The GPU operates at a fixed 2500 MHz base and boost clock, with 2304 shading units, 144 texture mapping units, and 80 raster output pipelines. The card also includes 18 ray tracing cores, though Allods Online's rendering workload may not leverage those heavily.

The GPU's benchmark scores indicate a capable mid-range part. In 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12, it scores 2649. Geekbench OpenCL and Vulkan results are 83514 and 96844 respectively. Passmark G3D shows 14195, with G2D at 661. The compute score of 7281 reflects solid general-purpose performance. The card's 65th percentile ranking against all GPUs places it above the median but not in enthusiast territory.

In Allods Online specifically, the GPU appears to be the primary bottleneck at higher settings. The measured frames show a steep drop as visual quality increases. At 1920x1080, the card delivers 184 FPS on Low, 144 FPS on Medium, 91 FPS on High, and 57 FPS on Ultra. That progression reveals a card that has plenty of headroom at lower settings but gets pressed hard as the game adds load. The pattern repeats at 2560x1440, where the Arc B570 manages 116 FPS on Low, 91 FPS on Medium, 57 FPS on High, and 36 FPS on Ultra. At 3840x2160, the card falls to 61 FPS on Low, 47 FPS on Medium, 30 FPS on High, and 19 FPS on Ultra.

The memory configuration matters here. The 10 GB frame buffer at 380.0 GB/s bandwidth is sufficient for lower presets, but the Ultra preset at 4K likely exceeds what this card can comfortably handle, given the 19 FPS result. The 160-bit bus width is narrower than many competing cards, which could explain why the GPU's raw compute metrics do not translate into stronger high-resolution performance in this title. The card's 150 W TDP and dual-slot design suggest it is built for mainstream systems, not extreme 4K gaming.

Settings Recommendations

The measured FPS data points to Medium as the optimal preset for this combo, particularly if you want a balance between visual quality and frame rate. At 1920x1080, Medium delivers 144 FPS average with a minimum of 122 and maximum of 165. That is a smooth, responsive experience for an MMORPG where quick reactions matter in combat. High at 1080p drops to 91 FPS, which is still playable but noticeably less fluid. The jump from Medium to High costs 53 FPS at 1080p, which is a substantial penalty for the visual upgrade.

At 2560x1440, Medium remains the strongest choice. The 91 FPS average with a 77 to 104 range keeps gameplay smooth on higher-resolution monitors. High at 1440p drops to 57 FPS, which is borderline for fast-paced content. If you are using a 1440p display, Medium is the clear recommendation. The data shows that High at this resolution sacrifices too much performance for the visual gains.

For 3840x2160, Medium is the only preset that approaches playability, with 47 FPS average and a 40 to 55 range. Low at 4K hits 61 FPS, but the visual downgrade is significant. High and Ultra at 4K are not viable, with 30 FPS and 19 FPS respectively. If you own a 4K monitor, dropping to Medium or Low is necessary, and even then the experience will not be as smooth as lower resolutions. The data suggests this combo is best suited to 1080p or 1440p gaming with Medium settings.

Ultra is not a practical choice at any resolution. The best Ultra result is 57 FPS at 1080p, which falls to 36 FPS at 1440p and 19 FPS at 4K. The performance cost of Ultra compared to Medium is steep: 87 FPS lost at 1080p, 55 FPS lost at 1440p, and 28 FPS lost at 4K. The visual improvements from Ultra are unlikely to justify those losses in a game where maintaining frame rate matters for gameplay.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the combo delivers its strongest results. Low settings produce 184 FPS average, which is the highest measured result across all resolutions and settings. Medium follows at 144 FPS with a minimum of 122 and maximum of 165, providing a tight frame time window. High drops to 91 FPS, and Ultra falls to 57 FPS. The progression from Low to Ultra shows a 68 percent reduction in frame rate, confirming that the GPU becomes the limiting factor as settings increase.

Moving to 2560x1440, the performance scales down predictably. Low hits 116 FPS, Medium delivers 91 FPS with a 77 to 104 range, High manages 57 FPS, and Ultra drops to 36 FPS. The Medium preset at 1440p matches the High preset at 1080p in terms of average FPS, which gives you a useful reference point. If you are deciding between resolution and quality, 1440p Medium and 1080p High both land at 91 FPS, so the choice depends on whether you prefer higher resolution or higher detail.

At 3840x2160, the results become marginal. Low produces 61 FPS, Medium delivers 47 FPS with a 40 to 55 range, High falls to 30 FPS, and Ultra bottoms out at 19 FPS. The 4K Medium result is the only one that stays above 40 FPS, and even that has a minimum of 40 FPS, which could feel choppy in crowded areas. The step from 1440p Medium to 4K Medium costs 44 FPS, a significant drop that reflects the card's memory bandwidth limitations at higher pixel counts.

The frame time data available for Medium settings shows consistent behavior. At 1080p, the 122 to 165 range spans 43 FPS, while at 1440p it spans 27 FPS, and at 4K it spans 15 FPS. The narrowing range at higher resolutions suggests the GPU is working closer to its limit, reducing the variance between minimum and maximum frames. This is typical of a GPU that is fully saturated, where the bottleneck stabilizes the frame delivery but at a lower overall rate.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 7 9850X3D provides 8 cores and 16 threads based on the Zen 5 architecture, built on a 4 nm TSMC process. The chip runs at a 4.70 GHz base clock and boosts to 5.60 GHz, with a 120 W TDP. It uses the AMD Socket AM5 platform and supports dual-channel DDR5 memory with 89.6 GB/s of bandwidth. The processor includes 96 MB of shared L3 cache, which is a defining feature of the X3D lineup, along with 1 MB of L2 cache per core and 80 KB of L1 cache per core.

The CPU's benchmark results show strong all-around performance. Cinebench R15 multicore scores 3551 and single-core scores 343. Cinebench R23 delivers 22807 multicore and 2228 single-core. Passmark tests show 41318 in multithread, 4704 in single-thread, 123140 in integer math, 81998 in floating point math, and 474501 in data compression. The 92nd percentile ranking against all CPUs confirms this is a high-end processor by general standards.

In Allods Online, the CPU's role appears secondary to the GPU. The measured frame rates scale more with resolution and settings than with CPU-bound scenarios, which is typical for an MMORPG where the graphics load dominates at higher presets. The CPU's single-thread performance of 2228 in Cinebench R23 single-core is strong, which matters for games that rely on a few heavily loaded threads. The boost clock of 5.60 GHz provides the high-frequency headroom that older game engines often prefer.

The 96 MB of L3 cache is noteworthy for gaming workloads, as it can reduce memory latency by keeping more data on-die. This could benefit Allods Online if the game has large working sets that fit within the cache. However, the combo's rank of 2231 out of 2775 suggests that whatever advantages the CPU provides are not fully realized in this title. The nearest rival deltas, all within 1 percent, indicate that swapping to a different high-end CPU would not meaningfully change the outcome.

The CPU's memory support for dual-channel DDR5 with ECC capability adds flexibility for system builders. The 24 PCIe Gen 5 lanes from the CPU provide bandwidth for modern GPUs and storage. The integrated Radeon Graphics could serve as a fallback for troubleshooting, though the discrete Arc B570 handles all rendering in this configuration. The unlocked multiplier allows overclocking, but given the already high boost clock of 5.60 GHz, the practical gains would be limited.
