How This Combo Ranks

The combination of the Intel Core i5-12400F and Intel Arc B580 ranks 2,729th out of 3,670 tested combos in Allods Online. This places the system in the 74th percentile of tested configurations, meaning roughly three-quarters of all tested combinations perform better in this specific game. Given that the CPU sits at the 73rd percentile and the GPU at the 68th percentile among their respective component categories, the combo ranking is consistent with what the individual component percentiles would suggest.

The rank reflects the game's particular demands. Allods Online, being an MMORPG released in 2010, may have optimization characteristics that favor certain hardware configurations. The measured frame rates show that the system is capable of exceeding 200 FPS at 1080p with Low settings, which indicates that the hardware is not inherently weak. However, the rank suggests that many other combinations achieve higher performance, particularly at higher resolutions and settings where the GPU's capabilities become more critical.

The data shows that the combo's performance degrades significantly as resolution increases. At 1080p Low, the system produces 208 FPS, but at 4K Ultra it drops to 21 FPS. This 10x difference in frame rate across the resolution and settings spectrum highlights how the Arc B580's 12 GB of GDDR6 memory and 456.0 GB/s bandwidth, while substantial, are not sufficient to maintain playable frame rates at maximum quality in 4K.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The measured FPS data covers three resolutions (1920x1080, 2560x1440, and 3840x2160) and four settings levels (Low, Medium, High, and Ultra). At 1080p, the system delivers strong performance across all settings. Low settings produce an average of 208 FPS. Medium settings yield 163 FPS with a minimum of 138 and maximum of 187. High settings reduce the average to 103 FPS. Ultra settings drop the average to 65 FPS. All of these are playable for an MMORPG, with even the Ultra setting maintaining a comfortable frame rate.

Moving to 1440p, the performance scales down predictably. Low settings average 131 FPS. Medium settings average 103 FPS with a minimum of 87 and maximum of 118. High settings average 65 FPS. Ultra settings average 41 FPS. The step from High to Ultra at 1440p represents a significant drop of 24 FPS, suggesting that Ultra settings impose a heavy load on the GPU.

At 4K, the system's limitations become apparent. Low settings average 69 FPS, which is still playable. Medium settings average 54 FPS with a minimum of 46 and maximum of 62. High settings drop to 34 FPS. Ultra settings fall to 21 FPS, which is below the threshold for smooth gameplay in most scenarios. The progression from Low to Ultra at 4K shows a steady decline from 69 to 21 FPS, with each settings tier costing roughly 15 FPS on average.

Resolution Scaling

The frame rate scaling across resolutions reveals the GPU as the primary limiting component. At Low settings, the system produces 208 FPS at 1080p, 131 FPS at 1440p, and 69 FPS at 4K. This represents a 37% drop from 1080p to 1440p and a 47% drop from 1440p to 4K. The scaling is roughly proportional to the pixel count increase, which is characteristic of a GPU-bound scenario.

At High settings, the scaling pattern is similar but with lower absolute values: 103 FPS at 1080p, 65 FPS at 1440p, and 34 FPS at 4K. The percentage drops are 37% from 1080p to 1440p and 48% from 1440p to 4K. This consistency across settings suggests that the GPU is the limiting factor at all quality levels, and the CPU has sufficient headroom to drive the frame rates.

The Medium settings data provides additional insight. At 1080p Medium, the system averages 163 FPS. At 1440p Medium, it averages 103 FPS, a 37% reduction. At 4K Medium, it averages 54 FPS, a 48% reduction from 1440p. The minimum and maximum frame rates at Medium settings also scale consistently, with the 1080p min/max at 138/187, 1440p at 87/118, and 4K at 46/62. This consistent scaling pattern indicates that the GPU's rendering throughput is the bottleneck, not the CPU or memory subsystem.

Settings Recommendations

Based on the measured FPS data, the optimal settings depend on the target resolution and desired frame rate. At 1080p, all settings levels produce playable frame rates. Ultra settings at 65 FPS average is perfectly acceptable for an MMORPG, and High settings at 103 FPS provides a smoother experience. For players prioritizing visual quality, Ultra at 1080p is viable. For those seeking higher frame rates, Medium at 163 FPS offers an excellent balance.

At 1440p, the recommendation shifts. Ultra settings at 41 FPS may be borderline for some players, while High at 65 FPS provides a solid experience. Medium at 103 FPS is the best choice for players who want high frame rates without sacrificing too much visual fidelity. Low at 131 FPS is available for competitive play or systems with high refresh rate monitors.

At 4K, the options are more constrained. Low settings at 69 FPS is the only setting that consistently maintains above 60 FPS. Medium at 54 FPS is playable but may dip below 50 FPS in demanding scenes. High at 34 FPS and Ultra at 21 FPS are not recommended for smooth gameplay. For 4K users, Low settings provide the best experience, with Medium as a compromise for those who prioritize visual quality over frame rate stability.

The data shows that Medium settings at 1080p or 1440p offers the best balance of visual quality and performance. The Medium preset at 1080p yields 163 FPS, which is more than sufficient for any display, and at 1440p it maintains 103 FPS. The minimum frame rates at Medium settings (138 FPS at 1080p, 87 FPS at 1440p) indicate that even in demanding scenes, the system maintains high performance.

GPU Role

The Intel Arc B580 is built on the Xe2-HPG architecture using TSMC's 5 nm process, with a chip designated BMG-G21. It contains 19,600 million transistors on a 272 mm² die, giving it a transistor density of 72.1M per mm². The GPU operates at a base and boost clock of 2670 MHz, with memory clocked at 2375 MHz (19 Gbps effective). It features 12 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 192-bit bus, providing 456.0 GB/s of bandwidth. The card has 2,560 shading units, 160 texture mapping units, and 80 raster operations pipelines, along with 20 ray tracing cores. Its compute capabilities include 13.67 TFLOPS of FP32 performance and 27.34 TFLOPS of FP16 (2:1 ratio). The GPU's pixel rate is 213.6 GPixel/s and texture rate is 427.2 GTexel/s.

In benchmark results, the Arc B580 achieves a PassMark G3D score of 15,748 and a PassMark GPU Compute score of 7,729. Its 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score is 3,068. Geekbench results show 92,821 in OpenCL and 109,672 in Vulkan. The GPU sits at the 68th percentile among all GPUs, with an average benchmark score of 23,021. Its nearest rivals include the AMD Radeon RX 580 2048SP (23,061, -0.2%), NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2080 (22,895, 0.6%), NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 (23,172, -0.7%), and NVIDIA P106-100 (23,249, -1%). These deltas of less than 1% place the Arc B580 in a very competitive performance tier.

The GPU's role in Allods Online is clearly dominant based on the measured FPS data. The consistent scaling of frame rates with resolution and settings indicates that the Arc B580 is the limiting component across all tested configurations. At 4K Ultra, the GPU can only manage 21 FPS, which is a reflection of the game's demands at that resolution combined with the GPU's performance ceiling. The 12 GB of VRAM is likely sufficient for this game, but the raw rendering throughput is not enough for 4K Ultra settings. The GPU's 456.0 GB/s bandwidth and 13.67 TFLOPS of FP32 performance are the key specifications that determine its frame rate output, and the data shows that these are adequate for 1080p and 1440p gaming but insufficient for 4K at high quality presets.
