Allods Online

The Intel Core i5-10400F paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 produces a wide spread of frame rates in Allods Online, with the data showing that the graphics card’s capabilities are heavily modulated by the chosen resolution and quality preset. At 1080p, the combo delivers playable to very high performance, but the Ultra preset at 4K drops to 32.8 FPS, indicating a clear boundary for this configuration. The measured rows provide a complete picture of how this specific hardware combination behaves in this MMORPG, allowing for a detailed analysis of the limiting factors at each setting.

Resolution Scaling

The FPS drop from 1080p to 4K is dramatic and non-linear, revealing how the workload shifts as pixel count increases. At High settings, the average frame rate falls from 136.6 FPS at 1920x1080 to 88.6 FPS at 2560x1440, a reduction of 35.1%. Moving to 3840x2160, the frame rate further declines to 48.3 FPS, which is only 35.4% of the 1080p figure. This steep decline suggests that at 4K, the rendering load becomes heavily GPU-bound, as the RTX 3070’s 8 GB GDDR6 memory and 448.0 GB/s bandwidth are pushed to their limits.

The Low preset tells a similar story but with higher absolute numbers. At 1080p Low, the combo achieves 177.2 FPS, which drops to 152.1 FPS at 1440p and then to 98.8 FPS at 4K. The percentage drop from 1080p to 4K is 44.2%, which is less severe than the High preset’s 64.6% drop, indicating that lower graphical complexity reduces the memory bandwidth pressure. However, even at Low settings, the 4K resolution still imposes a significant penalty, confirming that pixel throughput is a primary bottleneck.

Ultra settings amplify the scaling issue. At 1080p Ultra, the average is 90.8 FPS, which is already below the High preset’s 1080p result. At 1440p Ultra, the frame rate falls to 57.4 FPS, and at 4K Ultra, it collapses to 32.8 FPS. The gap between 1080p and 4K at Ultra is 63.9%, nearly identical to the High preset’s drop. This consistency suggests that the RTX 3070’s compute resources, such as the 5888 shading units and 20.31 TFLOPS FP32 throughput, are being saturated at higher resolutions regardless of the preset’s additional effects.

The data implies that 1080p is the sweet spot for this combo in Allods Online, as even the most demanding Ultra preset maintains a 90.8 FPS average. At 1440p, the GPU begins to show its limits, with only the Low and Medium presets exceeding 100 FPS. The 4K resolution is only viable for Low settings at 98.8 FPS; High and Medium dip below 80 FPS, and Ultra falls well below 60 FPS. This scaling behavior points to the RTX 3070 as the limiting component at 4K, while at 1080p, the CPU’s performance may start to play a larger role.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070’s specifications provide context for the measured results. With 8 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 256-bit bus, the card delivers a bandwidth of 448.0 GB/s. This memory subsystem is likely a key factor in the 4K performance, as higher resolutions demand more data throughput. The base clock of 1500 MHz and boost clock of 1725 MHz, combined with the 184 texture mapping units and 96 render output units, determine how quickly the GPU can process textures and pixels. The pixel rate of 165.6 GPixel/s and texture rate of 317.4 GTexel/s are theoretical maxima that the benchmark results show are not reached in Allods Online’s Ultra preset at 4K.

Comparing the RTX 3070 to its nearest rivals, the average benchmark score is 28238, with the AMD Radeon RX 6600 XT scoring 27985, a delta of 0.9%. The NVIDIA GeForce GTX 980 Ti scores 27956, a 1% difference, and the AMD FirePro S7150 scores 28409, which is 0.6% higher. These small deltas indicate that the RTX 3070 sits in a narrow performance band relative to these cards, though the game-specific results show that the GPU’s 8 GB memory capacity is sufficient for 1080p and 1440p, but the Ultra preset at 4K likely exceeds the memory or bandwidth available, leading to the 32.8 FPS result.

The GPU’s 72nd percentile ranking among all GPUs, based on an average benchmark score of 28238, shows it is a mid-to-high tier part. However, the measured FPS at 4K Ultra suggests that Allods Online’s Ultra preset includes effects that are particularly taxing on the memory system, as the drop from Medium to Ultra at 4K is from 77.8 to 32.8 FPS, a 57.8% reduction. This is a larger percentage drop than at 1080p, where Medium to Ultra goes from 163.5 to 90.8 FPS, a 44.5% reduction. The data indicates that the RTX 3070’s role is dominant in determining frame rates at higher resolutions, with the CPU becoming less relevant as the GPU saturates.

At 3840x2160, the performance falls significantly. Low averages 98.8 FPS, which is still playable, but Medium drops to 77.8 FPS, High to 48.3 FPS, and Ultra to 32.8 FPS. The 4K Ultra result is the lowest of the entire dataset, and even the High preset struggles to maintain 60 FPS. The data shows that the RTX 3070 can handle 4K only at Low settings with acceptable frame rates, while higher presets require a reduction in resolution to achieve smooth gameplay.

How This Combo Ranks

The comboRankInGame field places this specific combination at rank 947 out of 1715 tested combos. This middle-of-the-pack ranking is somewhat surprising given the RTX 3070’s 72nd percentile GPU score and the i5-10400F’s 73rd percentile CPU score. The rank suggests that Allods Online’s performance is not solely determined by raw hardware strength, as many other combos with lower individual scores may achieve better frame rates in this specific game. The data implies that the game’s engine has particular bottlenecks that do not align perfectly with the strengths of this CPU-GPU pairing.

The CPU’s nearest rivals show a tight cluster: the AMD EPYC 7552 scores 14115 with a delta of 0.4%, the AMD Ryzen 3 7320C scores 14277 with a -0.8% delta, and the Intel Core i5-8500 scores 14332 with a -1.1% delta. The i5-10400F’s average benchmark score is 14168, which is very close to these rivals, indicating that the CPU’s computational performance is not a differentiator. Similarly, the GPU’s nearest rivals have deltas of -0.6% to 1%, meaning the RTX 3070’s raw power is also not exceptional relative to its immediate peers. The 947th rank out of 1715 combos likely reflects that many other hardware combinations have a better balance for this particular game, or that the game favors other architectures.

Settings Recommendations

Given the measured FPS, the optimal settings depend on the target resolution. At 1080p, the High preset at 136.6 FPS offers a strong balance between visual quality and performance, while Medium at 163.5 FPS provides a smoother experience with slightly reduced quality. The Ultra preset at 90.8 FPS is still above 60 FPS, so it is viable for players who prioritize visual fidelity, but the 45.8 FPS drop from High is significant.

At 1440p, the Medium preset at 138.2 FPS is the best choice for high refresh rate monitors, as it maintains a high frame rate while offering better visuals than Low. The High preset at 88.6 FPS is still playable but may not be ideal for competitive play. The Ultra preset at 57.4 FPS is borderline, as it just misses the 60 FPS threshold, and players seeking consistent smoothness should drop to High.

For 4K, the Low preset at 98.8 FPS is the only setting that provides a comfortable experience, as Medium at 77.8 FPS is acceptable but High at 48.3 FPS and Ultra at 32.8 FPS are not recommended for responsive gameplay. The data suggests that this combo is best suited for 1080p or 1440p gaming, where it can leverage its full potential, rather than pushing for 4K with higher quality presets.

CPU Role

The Intel Core i5-10400F has 6 cores and 12 threads, with a base clock of 2.90 GHz and a boost clock of 4.30 GHz. Its benchmarks show a single-thread score of 688 in 3dmark and a multi-thread score of 4748 in 3dmark_16_threads. In Cinebench R23, the multicore score is 10297 and the single-core score is 1453. These numbers indicate a capable mid-range CPU, but the game’s results show that at 1080p, the CPU may be a secondary factor, as the frame rates are high enough that the GPU is likely the primary limiter even at lower resolutions.

The CPU’s 73rd percentile ranking among all CPUs, with an average benchmark score of 14168, places it slightly above the midpoint. Its nearest rivals, including the AMD Ryzen 3 7320C and Intel Core i5-8500, have nearly identical average scores, confirming that the i5-10400F provides no unique advantage in raw compute. In Allods Online, the measured FPS at 1080p Low reaches 177.2 FPS, which is high enough that the CPU’s single-thread performance, as measured by the 3dmark_single_thread score of 688, likely keeps up with the GPU’s output. However, at 4K Ultra, the CPU’s role is likely diminished, as the GPU is clearly the bottleneck given the
