Allods Online

The data for Allods Online with the Intel Core i5-12400 and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 shows a clear progression as resolution increases, but the pattern is not uniform. At 1920x1080, the average frame rates are exceptionally high, ranging from 88.8 FPS on Ultra settings to 241.2 FPS on Low. Moving to 2560x1440, the average FPS drops significantly across all settings, with the High preset falling from 143 FPS to 90.8 FPS, a reduction of roughly 36%. The Low preset at 1440p still manages 183.7 FPS, indicating that the combination retains substantial headroom even at this higher pixel count.

At 3840x2160, the scaling becomes more demanding. The High preset yields 50.2 FPS, while Medium produces 75.1 FPS. The Low preset at 4K reaches 95.3 FPS, which is still playable but represents a steep decline from the 241.2 FPS seen at 1080p. The Ultra preset at 4K falls to 31.5 FPS, which is a significant drop and suggests that the GPU is becoming the primary limiting factor at this resolution. The data indicates that the system transitions from being CPU-bound at lower resolutions to GPU-bound at 4K, where the RTX 3070's capabilities are stretched by the increased pixel workload.

Resolution Scaling

The measured FPS deltas between resolutions reveal how the workload shifts. From 1080p to 1440p, the average FPS for the High preset drops from 143 to 90.8, a 36.5% decrease. This is a substantial reduction, but the resulting 90.8 FPS is still smooth for most gameplay scenarios. The Medium preset shows a similar trend, falling from 219.2 FPS at 1080p to 141.2 FPS at 1440p. The Low preset remains high, with 241.2 FPS at 1080p and 183.7 FPS at 1440p, demonstrating that the CPU and GPU combination can sustain very high frame rates when graphical demands are reduced.

When moving from 1440p to 4K, the scaling becomes more punishing. The High preset drops from 90.8 FPS to 50.2 FPS, a 44.7% reduction. The Medium preset falls from 141.2 FPS to 75.1 FPS, and the Low preset from 183.7 FPS to 95.3 FPS. These numbers indicate that the RTX 3070 is the limiting component at 4K, as the frame rate halves for most presets. The Ultra preset at 4K, at 31.5 FPS, is well below the threshold for a fluid experience. The pattern suggests that for this game, the sweet spot for this combo is at 1440p, where the GPU still has enough bandwidth to handle the load while the CPU keeps up with the frame pacing.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 features 8 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 256-bit bus, providing a bandwidth of 448.0 GB/s. The GPU's base clock is 1500 MHz, with a boost clock of 1725 MHz. These specifications directly influence the measured performance. At 1080p, the GPU is not fully taxed, as evidenced by the Low preset reaching 241.2 FPS. The memory bandwidth is sufficient for the lower resolution, allowing the GPU to push frames quickly.

At 4K, however, the 8 GB VRAM capacity and the 448.0 GB/s bandwidth become more critical. The Ultra preset at 4K, which likely uses more textures and higher detail, drops to 31.5 FPS. This is a clear sign that the GPU is hitting its limits, both in terms of raw compute and memory throughput. The RTX 3070's 5888 shading units and 184 texture mapping units are capable, but the pixel rate of 165.6 GPixel/s and texture rate of 317.4 GTexel/s are not enough to sustain high frame rates at 4K Ultra. The GPU's percentile ranking at 72 indicates it is a mid-to-high tier card, and the data shows it performs best when not pushed to its absolute maximum.

Settings Recommendations

Based on the measured rows, the optimal experience for this combo depends on the target resolution. At 1920x1080, the Ultra preset delivers 88.8 FPS, which is playable, but the Medium preset at 219.2 FPS offers a much smoother experience with likely minimal visual difference in a fast-paced MMORPG. The High preset at 143 FPS is a balanced choice, providing good visuals without sacrificing frame rate. For competitive play, the Low preset at 241.2 FPS is the best option, as it maximizes responsiveness.

At 2560x1440, the High preset at 90.8 FPS is the recommended setting, as it maintains a solid frame rate while preserving visual fidelity. The Medium preset at 141.2 FPS is also viable for those prioritizing smoothness over detail. The Ultra preset at 59 FPS is borderline, and the Low preset at 183.7 FPS is overkill unless the user prefers maximum frame rates. At 3840x2160, the Medium preset at 75.1 FPS is the best compromise, as the High preset at 50.2 FPS is too low for consistent gameplay, and the Ultra preset at 31.5 FPS is not recommended. The Low preset at 95.3 FPS is the only way to achieve high frame rates at 4K, but it sacrifices visual quality significantly.

How This Combo Ranks

The combo rank for this specific configuration in Allods Online is 712 out of 1715 tested combinations. This places it in the upper 41.5% of all tested systems. The ranking indicates that while this is a capable setup, it is not at the top tier for this particular game. The CPU, Intel Core i5-12400, has a percentile rank of 77 against all CPUs, and the GPU, RTX 3070, has a percentile rank of 72 against all GPUs. These individual rankings suggest that the combo performs as expected given its components.

The CPU's nearest rivals include the Intel Core i7-9700, which has an average score of 19831, a delta of 0.1% from the i5-12400's score. The Intel Core i7-8700 is 0.2% slower, and the AMD Ryzen Threadripper PRO 5995WX is 0.4% slower. The Intel Core i5-11600K is 0.4% faster. These small deltas indicate that the i5-12400 is well-matched against its peers. The GPU's nearest rivals include the AMD FirePro S7150, which is 0.6% faster, and the AMD Radeon RX 6600 XT, which is 0.9% slower. The NVIDIA GeForce GTX 980 Ti is 1% slower, and the AMD Radeon R9 M295X is 1.1% faster. The tight margins show that the RTX 3070 is in a competitive performance bracket.

CPU Role

The Intel Core i5-12400 has 6 cores and 12 threads, with a base clock of 2.50 GHz and a boost clock of 4.40 GHz. The CPU's L3 cache is 18 MB shared, and it supports DDR4 and DDR5 memory. In the benchmark data, the CPU achieves a single-thread score of 910 in 3dmark and 2249 in Cinebench R23 single-core. These scores are crucial for Allods Online, which is an MMORPG that often relies on single-thread performance for game logic and network handling.

The multi-threaded scores, such as the Cinebench R23 multicore score of 15935, indicate that the CPU can handle multiple tasks simultaneously, but the game's frame rates at lower resolutions suggest that the CPU is not the bottleneck. At 1080p with Low settings, the frame rate reaches 241.2 FPS, which is likely near the CPU's maximum output for this game. The CPU's 3dmark max threads score of 5890 shows it can sustain high throughput, but the game's engine may not fully utilize all 12 threads. The data implies that the CPU provides sufficient headroom for the GPU at 1080p, but at 4K, the GPU becomes the limiting factor, as the CPU cannot compensate for the GPU's inability to render frames fast enough.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the average FPS values are as follows: Low settings produce 241.2 FPS, Medium produces 219.2 FPS, High produces 143 FPS, and Ultra produces 88.8 FPS. The gap between Low and Medium is relatively small, at 22 FPS, but the drop from Medium to High is significant, at 76.2 FPS. The Ultra preset further reduces the frame rate to 88.8 FPS, which is a 60.4% decrease from the Low setting. This data shows that the High and Ultra presets introduce substantial graphical effects that tax the GPU more heavily.

At 2560x1440, the average FPS values are: Low at 183.7, Medium at 141.2, High at 90.8, and Ultra at 59. The drop from Low to Medium is 42.5 FPS, and from Medium to High is 50.4 FPS. The Ultra preset at 59 FPS is just below the 60 FPS threshold, indicating that it is playable but not ideal. The scaling from 1080p to 1440p shows a consistent reduction across all settings, with the Low preset losing 57.5 FPS, Medium losing 78 FPS, High losing 52.2 FPS, and Ultra losing 29.8 FPS.

At 3840x2160, the average FPS values are: Low at 95.3, Medium at 75.1, High at 50.2, and Ultra at 31.5. The Low preset at 4K is still above 60 FPS, but the Medium preset drops to 75.1 FPS, which is a 26.7% reduction from Low. The High preset at 50.2 FPS is below the smoothness threshold, and the Ultra preset at 31.5 FPS is only suitable for screenshots or non-action scenes. The progression from 1440p to 4K shows that the Low preset loses 88.4 FPS, Medium loses 66.1 FPS, High loses 40.6 FPS, and Ultra loses 27.5 FPS. The data confirms that the RTX 3070's performance degrades significantly at 4K, making lower resolutions the preferred choice for this combo.
