# Allods Online with Intel Core i5-11400F + NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060

The Intel Core i5-11400F paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 delivers a playable experience across most settings in Allods Online, though the game's age and engine characteristics become evident at higher resolutions and quality presets. The measured data shows this combo ranks 1883rd out of 3670 tested combinations, placing it in the 49th percentile of all tested system configurations for this title. The 6-core, 12-thread Rocket Lake processor with a 2.60 GHz base and 4.40 GHz boost clock provides solid foundation, while the RTX 5060's Blackwell 2.0 architecture with 8 GB of GDDR7 memory handles the graphical workload.

Resolution Scaling

The FPS drop from 1080p to 4K reveals a workload that scales predictably with pixel count, but with notable efficiency at lower settings. At High settings, average frame rates fall from 134 FPS at 1920x1080 to 85 FPS at 2560x1440—a 36.6% reduction—then further to 44 FPS at 3840x2160, representing an additional 48.2% drop from 1440p. This scaling pattern suggests the GPU becomes increasingly dominant as resolution rises, with the 4K High result dipping below the 60 FPS threshold that many players consider the minimum for smooth gameplay.

Low settings exhibit a different scaling curve. The 1920x1080 Low preset achieves 206 FPS, dropping to 172 FPS at 2560x1440 (a 16.5% decrease) and then to 90 FPS at 3840x2160 (a 47.7% decrease from 1440p). The relatively modest 1080p-to-1440p penalty at Low settings indicates the CPU maintains sufficient headroom, while the larger 1440p-to-4K drop points to the RTX 5060's 8 GB memory buffer and 128-bit bus becoming limiting factors.

Medium settings provide the most complete dataset with min/max values. At 1920x1080 Medium, the combo averages 189 FPS with a minimum of 161 FPS and maximum of 217 FPS. Moving to 2560x1440 Medium reduces the average to 135 FPS (28.6% lower) with min/max of 114/155 FPS. The 4K Medium result of 70 FPS average, with 60 FPS minimum and 81 FPS maximum, shows a 48.1% drop from 1440p—the largest relative decrease of any settings tier, underscoring how 4K stresses the memory subsystem.

Ultra settings tell the clearest story about the GPU's limits. The 1080p Ultra average of 85 FPS is nearly identical to the 1440p High result of 85 FPS, suggesting that at these quality levels, the rendering workload becomes the bottleneck regardless of resolution. At 2560x1440 Ultra, the average falls to 53 FPS, and at 3840x2160 Ultra, it plummets to 28 FPS—a result that is barely playable and indicates the RTX 5060 cannot sustain Ultra quality at 4K in this title.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 features 8 GB of GDDR7 memory on a 128-bit bus, delivering 448.0 GB/s of bandwidth.
