GPU Role

The Intel Arc B570 is built on the Xe2-HPG architecture (Battlemage generation) using a 5 nm TSMC process. It packs 19,600 million transistors on a 272 mm² die. The GPU has 2304 shading units, 144 texture mapping units, and 80 raster output units, along with 18 ray tracing cores.

Memory configuration is critical for high-resolution gaming. The card carries 10 GB of GDDR6 on a 160-bit bus, delivering 380.0 GB/s of bandwidth. The memory clock runs at 2375 MHz (19 Gbps effective). The GPU's base clock and boost clock are both 2500 MHz.

In Allods Online, the measured FPS data reveals a clear pattern: the Arc B570's performance scales predictably with resolution and settings. The gap between Low and Ultra presets is substantial. At 1920x1080, Low produces 184 FPS while Ultra drops to 57 FPS. At 2560x1440, Low yields 116 FPS and Ultra falls to 36 FPS. At 3840x2160, Low still manages 61 FPS but Ultra collapses to 19 FPS.

The Medium preset at 3840x2160 shows a min FPS of 40 and max of 55, with an average of 47. This suggests the GPU is hitting memory bandwidth or fill-rate limits at 4K, as the Medium settings keep the frame rate in a narrow band. The pixel rate of 200.0 GPixel/s and texture rate of 360.0 GTexel/s are the theoretical ceilings, and the measured data shows that at 4K Ultra, the card cannot sustain playable performance.

The GPU's FP32 compute is 11.52 TFLOPS, which is modest by modern standards but sufficient for an older MMORPG like Allods Online. The Arc B570's general benchmark scores — 14195 in Passmark G3D and 2649 in 3DMark Steel Nomad — put it in the 65th percentile of all GPUs. It trades blows with the RTX 3070 Mobile (delta 0.1%) and Arc A750 (delta -0.1%) in average score.

For this game, the GPU's role is clear: it handles 1080p and 1440p gaming well at Low through High settings, but struggles with Ultra at any resolution and with 4K at anything above Low. The 10 GB VRAM is not a limiting factor in the measured data, as even 4K Ultra averages 19 FPS, which points to compute or bandwidth constraints rather than memory capacity.

CPU Role

The Intel Core i5-12400F belongs to the Core 12th Gen family, built on Alder Lake-S architecture using Intel's 10 nm process. It has 6 cores and 12 threads, with a base clock of 2.50 GHz and a boost clock of 4.40 GHz. The TDP is rated at 65 W, and it uses the Intel Socket 1700.

Cache hierarchy matters for MMO performance. The CPU has 80 KB of L1 per core, 1.25 MB of L2 per core, and 18 MB of shared L3 cache. This is a standard desktop configuration for its class, and the CPU supports both DDR4 and DDR5 memory in dual-channel mode.

In synthetic benchmarks, the i5-12400F shows balanced performance. Cinebench R23 scores are 12380 multicore and 1680 single-core. Geekbench results are 9472 multicore and 1964 single-core. The 3DMark tests scale from 909 in single-thread to 5912 in max threads, indicating good scaling across the 6 cores.

The CPU's average benchmark score is 19039, placing it in the 73rd percentile of all CPUs. Its nearest rivals are tightly clustered: the AMD Ryzen 5 7535HS scores 19047 (delta 0%), the Intel Core 3 201E scores 19056 (delta -0.1%), and the Intel Core i5-1335U scores 18982 (delta 0.3%). The AMD EPYC 7773X also scores 18979 (delta 0.3%). This means the i5-12400F is essentially performance-identical to these competitors in general workloads.

For Allods Online, the CPU's role is less demanding than the GPU's. The measured FPS data shows that at 1080p Low, the combo reaches 184 FPS, and at 1080p Medium it hits 144 FPS. These high frame rates indicate the CPU is not a bottleneck at these settings. Even at 1440p Low, the combo achieves 116 FPS, which suggests the CPU can feed the GPU adequately for this game.

The single-thread performance is particularly relevant for MMORPGs, which often have serialized game logic. The 3DMark single-thread score of 909 and Cinebench R23 single-core of 1680 are competitive. The Passmark single-thread score of 3481 reinforces this. The CPU's 12 threads handle background tasks and add-on overhead without impacting frame rates, based on the consistent FPS figures.

The boost clock of 4.40 GHz provides sufficient headroom for the game's CPU-bound moments, such as crowded towns or large raid battles. The 18 MB L3 cache helps with repeated data access patterns common in MMO environments. Overall, the CPU is not the limiting factor in this combo for Allods Online.

Settings Recommendations

The measured data provides clear guidance for optimal settings. The Ultra preset is not playable at any resolution, so it should be avoided entirely.

At 1920x1080, the Medium preset offers the best balance. It averages 144 FPS with a min of 122 and max of 165. This provides a smooth experience on high refresh rate monitors and leaves headroom for demanding in-game moments. The High preset at 91 FPS is also viable, but Medium's frame rate margin is more comfortable for an MMORPG where frame time spikes can occur during heavy combat or loading zones.

At 2560x1440, the Medium preset is again the recommended choice. It averages 91 FPS with a min of 77 and max of 104. This is playable on standard 60 Hz and 144 Hz displays. The Low preset at 116 FPS offers higher performance but with reduced visual quality. The High preset at 57 FPS sits just below the 60 FPS threshold, making it borderline for consistent smoothness.

At 3840x2160, only the Low preset is viable for serious play, averaging 61 FPS. The Medium preset at 47 FPS with a min of 40 is playable but noticeable frame drops will occur during intense scenes. The High preset at 30 FPS and Ultra at 19 FPS are not recommended for interactive gameplay.

For the best overall experience, the data suggests using Medium settings at either 1080p or 1440p. At 1080p Medium, the frame rate is high enough to eliminate any perceived stutter. At 1440p Medium, the visual quality improvement over 1080p is significant while maintaining an average above 90 FPS. Players prioritizing maximum frame rate over visuals should use Low at 1440p, which still provides 116 FPS.

How This Combo Ranks

The Intel Core i5-12400F + Intel Arc B570 combination ranks 2945 out of 3670 tested combos for Allods Online. This places it in the bottom 20% of all tested systems for this specific game.

This ranking might seem low given the playable frame rates at 1080p and 1440p. However, the ranking likely includes many high-end systems with newer GPUs and CPUs that achieve much higher frame rates, especially at 4K. The combo's inability to handle Ultra settings at any resolution and its mediocre 4K performance likely drag the ranking down.

The CPU's general performance percentile of 73 is respectable, and the GPU's percentile of 65 is mid-range. Yet the combo's in-game rank is lower than these individual percentiles would suggest. This indicates that Allods Online may favor certain hardware configurations, or that the game's optimization rewards systems with higher GPU compute power more than the Arc B570 provides.

Compared to its nearest GPU rival, the Arc A750, the B570 is slightly behind in average benchmark score (20556 vs 20582, delta -0.1%). The RTX 3070 Mobile is essentially tied with the B570. This means in the broader GPU landscape, the B570 is a mid-pack performer, and its ranking in this game reflects that positioning.

The combo's rank of 2945 out of 3670 means 725 tested systems performed worse. This is not a bottom-tier result, but it is clearly below the median. For an older MMORPG like Allods Online, which released in 2010, the hardware demands are likely modest, making this combo's rank more about the high performance of competing systems than about this combo being weak.

Measured FPS Breakdown

1920x1080:

• Low: 184 FPS average
• Medium: 144 FPS average, 122 min, 165 max
• High: 91 FPS average
• Ultra: 57 FPS average

2560x1440:

• Low: 116 FPS average
• Medium: 91 FPS average, 77 min, 104 max
• High: 57 FPS average
• Ultra: 36 FPS average

3840x2160:

• Low: 61 FPS average
• Medium: 47 FPS average, 40 min, 55 max
• High: 30 FPS average
• Ultra: 19 FPS average

The FPS progression shows a consistent pattern across resolutions. Moving from Low to Medium costs roughly 22-25% of frame rate. Moving from Medium to High costs another 37-38%. Moving from High to Ultra costs another 37-38% as well. This consistent scaling suggests the game's settings have uniform performance impacts across resolutions.

The min and max FPS data for Medium settings reveals the frame time variance. At 1080p, the range is 122-165 FPS, a 43 FPS spread. At 1440p, the range is 77-104 FPS, a 27 FPS spread. At 4K, the range is 40-55 FPS, a 15 FPS spread. This indicates that at higher resolutions, the frame rate becomes more consistent, likely because the GPU becomes the consistent bottleneck rather than CPU or engine fluctuations.

The 4K Low setting at 61 FPS is notable — it shows the GPU can handle 4K if visual effects are minimized. The 4K Medium at 47 FPS demonstrates the card's limits when texture quality and effects are increased. These numbers align with the GPU's 380.0 GB/s memory bandwidth and 11.52 TFLOPS compute, which are sufficient for lighter loads but insufficient for heavy 4K rendering in this game.
