Resolution Scaling

The measured frame rates for Allods Online with the AMD Ryzen 9 9900X3D and Intel Arc B370 show a steep and consistent drop as resolution climbs, a pattern that points squarely at the GPU as the limiting factor. At 1920x1080 with Low settings, the combo produces 108 FPS average. Move to 2560x1440 at the same preset, and that figure falls to 68 FPS, a reduction of 40 FPS. At 3840x2160 Low, the average collapses further to 36 FPS. That is a 67% loss from 1080p to 4K, which is a massive penalty that only makes sense if the graphics card is being overwhelmed by pixel count.

The scaling behavior is consistent across all settings presets. At High settings, the drop from 1080p (53 FPS) to 1440p (34 FPS) is 19 FPS, and then from 1440p to 4K (18 FPS) another 16 FPS. At Medium, the numbers go from 85 FPS at 1080p to 53 FPS at 1440p to 28 FPS at 4K. Even at Ultra, where the absolute frame rates are already very low, the pattern holds: 34 FPS at 1080p, 21 FPS at 1440p, and 11 FPS at 4K. The consistent halving or near-halving of performance at each resolution step indicates that the rendering pipeline is bound by fill rate and shading throughput, not by the CPU feeding it draw calls.

This resolution scaling signature is typical of an integrated-class GPU struggling with modern pixel loads. The Intel Arc B370 is a 25 W part with 1280 shading units and 20 ROPS, and its pixel rate is rated at 48.00 GPixel/s. At 4K, the sheer number of pixels to fill — over 8 million per frame — overwhelms those ROPS. The data shows that the CPU is not the bottleneck here; if it were, lowering resolution would yield diminishing returns as the CPU hit its limit. Instead, frame rates scale almost linearly with pixel count, which is textbook GPU-limited behavior. The Ryzen 9 9900X3D, with its 12 cores and 24 threads, is clearly not the constraint in any of these runs.

How This Combo Ranks

In the database of tested CPU and GPU combinations for Allods Online, this pairing sits at rank 3385 out of 3670 combos. That places it in the bottom 8% of all tested configurations, a poor showing that reflects the GPU's limited capabilities rather than any deficiency in the processor. The combo rank is a combined measure, but the GPU's percentile ranking of 5 tells the story: the Arc B370 is among the weakest graphics processors in the entire benchmark database. Its average benchmark score of 1184 is nearly indistinguishable from its nearest rivals, all of which are over a decade old.

The CPU, by contrast, is a top-tier part. The Ryzen 9 9900X3D ranks in the 91st percentile against all CPUs, with an average benchmark score of 54762. Its nearest rivals in the CPU rankings include the Intel Core Ultra 5 245KF at 55093 (delta of -0.6%), the Intel Core Ultra 5 245K at 54053 (delta of 1.3%), and the Intel Core i7-14700F at 53620 (delta of 2.1%). These deltas are all within a few percentage points, meaning the 9900X3D is performance-equivalent to a range of modern desktop processors. The disparity between the CPU's high percentile and the GPU's low percentile within the same combo is stark. This is a pairing where a very fast processor is yoked to a very slow graphics solution, and the game's frame rates reflect that imbalance.

The rank of 3385 out of 3670 means that in Allods Online, nearly every other tested combination of CPU and GPU delivers higher average frame rates. The data suggests that the Arc B370 is the anchor dragging this combo down. If the same CPU were paired with a more capable discrete GPU, the rank would likely improve dramatically, since the processor's headroom is substantial. As it stands, the combo ranks in the bottom decile, and the measured FPS numbers corroborate that classification.

Settings Recommendations

For this specific hardware pairing, the measured FPS data offers clear guidance on which preset to use. At 1920x1080, the Low preset delivers an average of 108 FPS, which is the only settings level that approaches a high-refresh experience. Medium at 1080p drops to 85 FPS, still playable but with a noticeable 23 FPS penalty. High at 1080p falls to 53 FPS, and Ultra plummets to 34 FPS. Given that this is an MMORPG, where smoothness and responsiveness matter for group content, the Low preset at 1080p is the only configuration that provides a comfortably fluid frame rate.

At 2560x1440, the situation is more constrained. Low settings yield 68 FPS average, which is acceptable for less demanding play. Medium drops to 53 FPS, and High falls to 34 FPS. Ultra at 21 FPS is marginal at best. The data indicates that 1440p Low is the sweet spot for this resolution, offering a playable experience without dipping below 60 FPS. At 3840x2160, none of the presets are truly playable. Low averages 36 FPS, Medium 28 FPS, High 18 FPS, and Ultra 11 FPS. Even the lowest preset at 4K is below the threshold for smooth gameplay, and the min FPS values for Medium at 4K (24 FPS) confirm that frame pacing will be erratic.

The recommendation, based strictly on the measured rows, is to run the game at 1920x1080 with the Low preset. This is the only combination of resolution and settings that achieves a triple-digit average frame rate. If the user insists on higher visual quality, Medium at 1080p (85 FPS) is the next best option, but the jump to High costs 32 FPS and is difficult to justify on a 25 W GPU. For 1440p, Low is the only viable preset; anything higher sacrifices too much fluidity. At 4K, the data shows no acceptable configuration, and users should avoid that resolution entirely with this hardware.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The complete set of measured frame rates reveals a consistent hierarchy across all resolution and settings combinations. At 1920x1080, the Low preset produces an average of 108 FPS, the highest figure recorded for this combo. Medium at 1080p averages 85 FPS, with a minimum of 72 FPS and a maximum of 97 FPS, indicating a fairly tight frame time distribution. High at 1080p averages 53 FPS, and Ultra averages 34 FPS. The spread from Low to Ultra at 1080p is 74 FPS, a huge range that underscores how much the GPU's workload varies with preset.

At 2560x1440, Low averages 68 FPS, Medium averages 53 FPS with a min of 45 and max of 61, High averages 34 FPS, and Ultra averages 21 FPS. The drop from Low to Medium at 1440p is 15 FPS, and from Medium to High is another 19 FPS. At 3840x2160, Low averages 36 FPS, Medium averages 28 FPS with a min of 24 and max of 32, High averages 18 FPS, and Ultra averages 11 FPS. The Medium preset at 4K shows the only min/max data for that resolution, and the 24 FPS minimum is a clear indicator of stutter-prone performance.

Comparing across resolutions, the low preset at 4K (36 FPS) is roughly equivalent to the high preset at 1080p (53 FPS) in terms of playability, though neither is ideal. The medium preset at 1440p (53 FPS) matches the high preset at 1080p (53 FPS) exactly, suggesting that the GPU's performance is dominated by pixel count and shading complexity in equal measure. The ultra preset at 1080p (34 FPS) equals the high preset at 1440p (34 FPS), again confirming a linear relationship between resolution and settings load. The data shows that each step up in resolution or settings costs roughly the same amount of frame rate, which is characteristic of a GPU that is fully saturated at all times.

GPU Role

The Intel Arc B370 is the decisive factor in this combo's performance. It is an integrated graphics processor built on Intel's 3 nm process, with a base clock of 300 MHz and a boost clock of 2400 MHz. Its memory is system shared, meaning there is no dedicated VRAM; the GPU borrows from system memory, and bandwidth is listed as system dependent. This architecture has a TDP of just 25 W, which explains its low performance ceiling. The GPU has 1280 shading units, 40 texture mapping units, and 20 ROPs, with 10 ray tracing cores. Its FP32 throughput is 6.144 TFLOPS, and its pixel rate is 48.00 GPixel/s.

These specifications place the Arc B370 in the 5th percentile of all GPUs in the benchmark database. Its sole benchmark score is 1184 in the 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 test. Its nearest rivals are all legacy parts: the ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5570 (score 1186, delta -0.2%), the ATI Radeon HD 5770 (score 1190, delta -0.5%), the AMD Radeon HD 7650M (score 1192, delta -0.7%), and the AMD FirePro M2000 (score 1168, delta 1.4%). The deltas are all under 2%, meaning the Arc B370 is effectively performance-identical to a set of GPUs from roughly 2010-2012. This is a sobering comparison for a part released in 2026.

In Allods Online, the GPU's limitations are evident at every turn. The game is not particularly demanding by modern standards, but the Arc B370's 20 ROPs and 48.00 GPixel/s fill rate are simply insufficient for 1440p and 4K rendering. The system shared memory also means that texture bandwidth is dependent on system RAM speed, which can cause hitches when assets stream in. The data shows that the GPU is the bottleneck at all resolutions above 1080p Low, and even at 1080p, only the Low preset achieves a high frame rate. The 25 W power envelope is a clear constraint; there is no scenario where this GPU can deliver competitive frame rates in a modern MMORPG at high settings.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 9 9900X3D is a high-end desktop processor that is vastly more capable than the GPU it is paired with in this combo. It has 12 cores and 24 threads, with a base clock of 4.40 GHz and a boost clock of 5.50 GHz. The CPU is built on TSMC's 4 nm process with a 120 W TDP, and it uses the AMD Socket AM5 platform. Its cache hierarchy includes 80 KB of L1 per core, 1 MB of L2 per core, and 128 MB of L3 cache. The large L3 cache is a hallmark of the X3D series and is designed to reduce memory latency in gaming workloads.

In synthetic benchmarks, the 9900X3D posts strong numbers. Its Cinebench R23 multi-core score is 47737, and single-core is 6739. Geekbench multi-core is 22884, and single-core is 3041. The 3DMark multi-threaded scores range from 2512 for 2 threads to 13795 for max threads. These figures place the CPU in the 91st percentile of all processors, with an average benchmark score of 54762. Its nearest rivals, as noted, are all within a couple of percentage points, confirming that the 9900X3D is at the top of the desktop CPU hierarchy.

In Allods Online, however, the CPU's power is largely untapped. The measured frame rates are so low that the CPU is never the limiting factor; even at 1080p Low with 108 FPS, the 12 cores and 24 threads are more than sufficient to feed the GPU. The game is an MMORPG from 2010, and its engine is unlikely to leverage more than a few threads effectively. The 9900X3D's single-thread performance, as measured by a Cinebench R23 single-core score of 6739, is more than enough for the game's logic and draw call processing. The CPU's 128 MB of L3 cache may help with asset streaming and world data, but the GPU's frame rate ceiling masks any such benefits. The data clearly shows that the CPU is not a bottleneck; the GPU is. If the Arc B370 were replaced with a more powerful GPU, the 9900X3D would have ample headroom to push much higher frame rates.
