Allods Online

The Intel Core i5-11400F pairs a 6-core, 12-thread Rocket Lake design with a 2.60 GHz base clock and a 4.40 GHz boost clock, built on Intel’s 14 nm process. In Allods Online, this CPU lands in the 75th percentile among all tested processors, with an average benchmark score of 17181. That score places it nearly level with the AMD Ryzen 7 5700U (delta 0%) and just 0.2% behind both the Intel Core i7-1260P and Intel Core Ultra 7 164U, while edging out the Intel Core i5-1240U by 0.2%. The 12 MB of shared L3 cache and dual-channel DDR4 memory support (51.2 GB/s bandwidth) feed the game’s MMO-style workloads, which often favor sustained multi-threaded throughput over raw single-core speed. Cinebench R23 results reinforce this: a multicore score of 14372 versus a single-core score of 2029, indicating that the CPU’s strength scales with thread utilization. For a 2010-released MMORPG, the i5-11400F’s 3DMark scores — 5652 at max threads, 4691 at 8 threads, 3171 at 4 threads, and 868 single-thread — show a clear drop-off as thread counts shrink, meaning the game’s engine likely benefits from the full 12-thread capacity in crowded scenes or large raids.

CPU Role — cores, clocks, and how they relate to this game's results

The i5-11400F’s 6 cores and 12 threads are the primary driver of its Allods Online performance. The game, being an MMORPG from 2010, tends to scatter work across multiple threads for entity updates, network handling, and UI rendering, but it rarely uses all cores equally. The CPU’s boost clock of 4.40 GHz provides the single-thread headroom needed for the main game logic thread, while the additional threads handle background tasks. Benchmark data shows the CPU’s single-thread performance is modest — Geekbench single-core scores 1979, and 3DMark single-thread scores 868 — yet the game’s frame rates at 1080p Low reach 195.1 FPS, suggesting the CPU is not the limiting factor at lower settings. The 12 MB L3 cache is shared across all cores, which helps when multiple character models and world objects are streamed in simultaneously. The CPU’s 65 W TDP and end-of-life production status indicate it’s an older design, but its 75th percentile standing among all CPUs means it still outclasses a majority of processors in general compute benchmarks. In Allods Online specifically, the measured FPS at 1080p Ultra (60.4 FPS) versus 1080p Low (195.1 FPS) shows a 134.7 FPS swing, which points to GPU limitations at higher settings rather than CPU bottlenecks. The CPU’s PassMark multi-thread score of 16908 and physics score of 842 further suggest it can sustain high frame rates when the GPU is not saturated.

How This Combo Ranks — use comboRankInGame vs other tested combos

The combination of the Intel Core i5-11400F and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 ranks 1415 out of 1715 tested combos in Allods Online. That places this pairing in the bottom 17.5% of all combinations, which is surprising given the individual component percentiles (CPU at 75th, GPU at 58th). The low rank indicates that the game’s engine does not scale well with this hardware configuration, likely due to the game’s age and its reliance on single-threaded performance or legacy rendering paths. Compared to other combos, this setup falls behind a significant majority, meaning many mid-range or even older pairings deliver better average FPS in this title. The measured FPS data confirms the ranking: even at 1080p High, the average is 96.4 FPS, which is playable but not exceptional for a 2010 MMORPG. At 1440p High, the average drops to 60.2 FPS, and at 4K High, it falls to 32.4 FPS. These numbers suggest the combo is better suited for 1080p gaming, but the low overall rank implies that other combos with similar or lower component scores achieve higher frame rates in this specific game. The GPU’s average benchmark score of 16074 places it just 0.5% ahead of the AMD Radeon RX 7600S and 1.8% ahead of the AMD Radeon Pro W5500, yet those GPUs might pair with different CPUs in other combos that rank higher. The data indicates that the i5-11400F’s strengths — multi-threaded compute — are not fully utilized by Allods Online, and the RTX 2060’s mid-tier performance is not enough to compensate for the engine’s limitations.

Resolution Scaling — how FPS drops from 1080p to 4K and what it says about the limiting component

Resolution scaling in Allods Online reveals a clear pattern: the GPU becomes the primary bottleneck as resolution increases, but the CPU holds up well at lower resolutions. At 1080p Low, the combo achieves 195.1 FPS, which is nearly triple the 4K Low result of 63.8 FPS. Moving to 1440p Low, the average is 121.6 FPS, indicating a 73.5 FPS drop from 1080p. At High settings, the progression is 96.4 FPS (1080p), 60.2 FPS (1440p), and 32.4 FPS (4K) — a steady decline that aligns with the GPU’s pixel throughput limits. The RTX 2060’s 6 GB GDDR6 memory and 336.0 GB/s bandwidth are sufficient for 1080p, but at 4K Ultra, the average FPS falls to 22.3, which is below playable thresholds. The gap between Low and Ultra settings at each resolution is also telling: at 1080p, Low (195.1 FPS) vs Ultra (60.4 FPS) shows a 134.7 FPS difference, while at 4K, Low (63.8 FPS) vs Ultra (22.3 FPS) shows a 41.5 FPS difference. This compression at higher resolutions suggests the GPU is already saturated, so lowering settings has less impact. The CPU’s role is more visible at 1080p Low, where the 195.1 FPS result demonstrates that the i5-11400F can feed the GPU well beyond its rendering capacity. At 4K Ultra, the 22.3 FPS result is likely GPU-bound, as the RTX 2060’s 6.451 TFLOPS FP32 performance and 80.64 GPixel/s pixel rate are inadequate for 4K Ultra in this title. The scaling from 1080p High (96.4 FPS) to 4K High (32.4 FPS) represents a 66.4% reduction, which is steeper than the 1440p High to 4K High drop of 46.2%, further evidence that the GPU is the limiting component at higher resolutions.

GPU Role — VRAM, clocks, and how they relate to this game's results

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 brings 6 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 192-bit bus, yielding 336.0 GB/s of bandwidth, along with a base clock of 1365 MHz and a boost clock of 1680 MHz. In Allods Online, this GPU’s role becomes more pronounced as resolution and settings increase. At 1080p Low, the GPU is barely challenged, allowing the CPU to push 195.1 FPS, but at 1080p Ultra, the average falls to 60.4 FPS — a drop that correlates with the GPU’s fill-rate limits. The RTX 2060’s 1920 shading units, 120 TMUs, and 48 ROPs deliver a texture rate of 201.6 GTexel/s and a pixel rate of 80.64 GPixel/s, which are adequate for 1080p but insufficient for 4K Ultra, where the combo averages only 22.3 FPS. The 6 GB VRAM capacity is not the limiting factor in this game, as even at 4K Ultra, the frame rate is more constrained by compute throughput than memory size. The GPU’s 58th percentile among all GPUs and average benchmark score of 16074 place it near the AMD Radeon RX 7600S (15996, delta 0.5%) and just 1.7% behind the AMD Radeon Pro 5600M and Pro 5700. In DirectX benchmarks, the GPU scores 98 in DirectX 10, 110 in DirectX 11, and 53 in DirectX 12, with a PassMark G3D score of 14111. These figures indicate that the GPU performs best in older DirectX 11 workloads, which aligns with Allods Online’s 2010 release date. The 160 W TDP and dual-slot design are typical for this class, but the game’s measured FPS at 1440p High (60.2 FPS) and 4K High (32.4 FPS) show that the GPU struggles to maintain high frame rates beyond 1080p. The RTX 2060’s 6.451 TFLOPS FP32 performance and 12.90 TFLOPS FP16 (2:1) are modest by modern standards, yet they are sufficient for 1080p High (96.4 FPS) and 1440p Low (121.6 FPS), proving that the GPU is the limiting component primarily at 4K or Ultra settings. The predecessor GeForce 10 and successor GeForce 30 brackets this card in a mid-tier position, and the data confirms that it performs as expected for a 2019-era GPU in this older MMO title.
