# Allods Online with AMD Ryzen 9 7900X + Intel Arc B370

This combination of the AMD Ryzen 9 7900X and Intel Arc B370 ranks 2559th out of 2775 tested combos in Allods Online, placing it in the bottom 8% of all configurations. The data shows a system that is severely GPU-limited across most settings, with the integrated-class graphics solution struggling to keep pace with the CPU's capabilities. The Arc B370's percentile rank of 5 among all GPUs confirms its position near the bottom of the performance spectrum, while the Ryzen 9 7900X sits in the 91st percentile among CPUs, creating a substantial imbalance that defines this combo's behavior in this MMORPG.

How This Combo Ranks

The combo rank of 2559 out of 2775 represents a configuration in the lower tier of tested systems for Allods Online. This ranking reflects the GPU's dominant role in determining overall performance, as the Arc B370's average benchmark score of 1184 places it among the weakest graphics processors in the database. The nearest GPU rivals illustrate the performance neighborhood: the ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5570 scores 1186 (0.2% higher), the ATI Radeon HD 5770 scores 1190 (0.5% higher), and the AMD Radeon HD 7650M scores 1192 (0.7% higher). The AMD FirePro M2000 trails at 1168, which is 1.4% behind the Arc B370.

This clustering around the 1184 score means the Arc B370 is essentially trading blows with graphics hardware from a much earlier era. In Allods Online, a game released in October 2010, this translates to playable frame rates only at lower resolutions and settings. The CPU side tells a different story: the Ryzen 9 7900X's average benchmark score of 53288 places it just 0.2% ahead of the AMD EPYC 7313P (53206) and 0.6% ahead of the Intel Xeon 634 (52974). The Intel Xeon Phi 7290 scores 53469 (0.3% higher) and the Intel Core i7-14700F scores 53620 (0.6% higher), confirming the 7900X is competitive with high-end server and desktop parts.

The practical consequence of this pairing is that the CPU's substantial processing headroom goes largely unused in Allods Online, as the GPU becomes the bottleneck at every resolution above 1080p Low. The data indicates that the combo's rank is driven almost entirely by GPU limitations rather than any deficiency in the processor.

GPU Role

The Intel Arc B370 is an integrated graphics solution built on the Xe3-LPG architecture with a 3 nm process from Intel. Its base clock runs at 300 MHz with a boost clock of 2400 MHz, and it relies on system shared memory for both capacity and bandwidth, making memory performance "System Dependent." The GPU features 1280 shading units, 40 texture mapping units, and 20 raster output pipelines, along with 10 ray tracing cores. Its compute capabilities include 6.144 TFLOPS of FP32 performance and 12.29 TFLOPS of FP16 performance.

The memory configuration is particularly important for Allods Online performance. With system shared memory and system-dependent bandwidth, the GPU's effective memory throughput varies based on the host system's RAM configuration. The Ryzen 9 7900X supports DDR5 memory with a dual-channel bus and 83.2 GB/s bandwidth, which provides the shared memory pool for the Arc B370. However, the 25 W TDP and IGP slot width indicate this is designed for basic graphical duties rather than gaming at high settings.

The GPU's 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 1184 places it at the 5th percentile among all GPUs. This benchmark result shows the Arc B370 performing essentially on par with decade-old discrete graphics cards like the ATI Radeon HD 5770 and ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5570. In Allods Online, this translates to 18 FPS at 4K High and 11 FPS at 4K Ultra, figures that fall well below playable thresholds. The GPU's DirectX 12 Ultimate support and Vulkan 1.4 compatibility are modern features, but they do not compensate for the fundamental compute and memory bandwidth limitations exposed by the benchmark data.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 9 7900X provides 12 cores and 24 threads based on the Zen 4 architecture, codenamed Raphael, manufactured on a 5 nm process at TSMC. It operates with a base clock of 4.70 GHz and a boost clock of 5.60 GHz, with a 170 W TDP. The cache hierarchy includes 64 KB of L1 per core, 1 MB of L2 per core, and 64 MB of shared L3 cache. Memory support includes DDR5 with dual-channel operation and 83.2 GB/s bandwidth, plus ECC memory capability.

In synthetic benchmarks, the 7900X demonstrates strong multi-threaded performance: Cinebench R23 multicore scores 29300, Geekbench multicore scores 19267, and Passmark multithread scores 51406. Single-thread performance is also solid, with Cinebench R23 single-core at 2016.5 and Geekbench single-core at 2617. The CPU's 91st percentile ranking among all CPUs confirms its position as a high-end desktop processor, with an average benchmark score of 53288.

For Allods Online, an MMORPG that likely relies more on single-thread performance for game logic and world simulation, the 7900X's strong single-core scores should provide ample processing capability. The 3DMark single-thread score of 1093 and Passmark single-thread score of 4238 indicate robust per-core performance. However, the measured frame rates show that CPU capability does not translate into high FPS at higher settings, because the GPU cannot keep up with the CPU's output. The 1080p Low result of 108 FPS suggests that when the GPU load is minimized, the CPU can drive substantial frame rates, but this headroom disappears as resolution and settings increase the GPU workload.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the combo delivers 108 FPS on Low settings, 85 FPS on Medium (with a range of 72 to 97 FPS), 53 FPS on High, and 34 FPS on Ultra. The Medium settings row provides the only min/max data at this resolution, showing a 25 FPS spread between minimum and maximum frame times.

Moving to 2560x1440, performance drops to 68 FPS on Low, 53 FPS on Medium (ranging from 45 to 61 FPS), 34 FPS on High, and 21 FPS on Ultra. The Medium setting at this resolution shows a 16 FPS spread between minimum and maximum.

At 3840x2160, the results become marginal: 36 FPS on Low, 28 FPS on Medium (ranging from 24 to 32 FPS), 18 FPS on High, and 11 FPS on Ultra. The 4K Medium row shows an 8 FPS spread, indicating tighter frame pacing but still at low absolute performance levels.

The data reveals that playable performance (above 30 FPS average) is achievable only at 1080p Low, 1080p Medium, 1080p High (barely), and 1440p Low. The 1440p Medium result of 53 FPS is borderline, while everything at 4K and all Ultra settings fall below acceptable thresholds for smooth gameplay.

Resolution Scaling

The frame rate scaling across resolutions shows a clear pattern of GPU limitation. From 1080p to 1440p at Low settings, the average FPS drops from 108 to 68, a reduction of 37%. From 1440p to 4K at Low, FPS falls from 68 to 36, another 47% reduction. The total drop from 1080p Low to 4K Low is 66.7%, from 108 FPS down to 36 FPS.

At Medium settings, the scaling is similar: 1080p produces 85 FPS, 1440p produces 53 FPS (37.6% drop), and 4K produces 28 FPS (47.2% drop from 1440p). The High settings row shows 53 FPS at 1080p, 34 FPS at 1440p (35.8% drop), and 18 FPS at 4K (47.1% drop from 1440p).

Ultra settings exhibit the same pattern: 34 FPS at 1080p, 21 FPS at 1440p (38.2% drop), and 11 FPS at 4K (47.6% drop from 1440p). The consistent ~37% reduction from 1080p to 1440p and ~47% reduction from 1440p to 4K across all settings indicates that the GPU is the limiting component at every configuration. If the CPU were the bottleneck, the scaling would be more pronounced at lower resolutions where CPU load is relatively higher, but the uniform scaling pattern points squarely at the Arc B370's rendering capabilities.

The CPU's strong single-thread performance (Cinebench R23 single-core of 2016.5) and the fact that 1080p Low achieves 108 FPS suggest that the processor could support higher frame rates if the GPU were more capable. The limiting factor is clearly the GPU's 6.144 TFLOPS of FP32 compute and system shared memory bandwidth, which cannot sustain higher frame rates as pixel count increases.

Settings Recommendations

Based on the measured FPS data, the optimal balance of visual quality and performance occurs at 1080p with Medium settings, which delivers 85 FPS average with a range of 72 to 97 FPS. This configuration provides a comfortable margin above 60 FPS while offering better visual fidelity than Low settings. The 1080p High setting at 53 FPS is also viable for players who prefer higher visual quality and can tolerate frame rates slightly below 60 FPS.

For players using 1440p displays, the Low preset at 68 FPS is the recommended choice, as it maintains smooth gameplay. The Medium preset at 1440p produces 53 FPS average with a 45 to 61 FPS range, which may be acceptable for less demanding players but risks dropping below 45 FPS during intense scenes. The High and Ultra presets at 1440p are not recommended, as they produce 34 FPS and 21 FPS respectively.

At 4K, no setting provides acceptable performance for general play. The Low preset at 36 FPS is technically the smoothest 4K option, but even this falls short of the 60 FPS target. Players with 4K displays should consider running the game at a lower resolution or accepting significant frame rate compromises. The Ultra preset at any resolution is not recommended, as even at 1080p it only achieves 34 FPS, and at 4K it drops to 11 FPS. The data consistently shows that this combo performs best when GPU load is minimized, making lower settings and resolutions the only path to smooth gameplay in Allods Online.
