Allods Online

The Intel Core i5-12400 paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 delivers a broad spread of frame rates in Allods Online, ranging from a playable 46.9 FPS at 4K High to a very high 238.2 FPS at 1080p Low. This combination sits in the 799th position out of 1715 tested combos, placing it in the upper-middle tier of the database. The data reflects measured results from this specific pairing, and the analysis below breaks down how resolution, CPU, GPU, and settings interact for this MMORPG.

Resolution Scaling

The frame rate drop from 1080p to 4K is sharp and consistent across all settings, indicating that the RTX 5060 becomes the primary limiting factor as pixel count rises. At Low settings, the average FPS falls from 238.2 at 1080p to 172.1 at 1440p, a reduction of 66.1 FPS, then further to 91 at 4K — a total drop of 147.2 FPS from the lowest resolution tested. This represents a 61.8% decrease in performance from 1080p to 4K at Low, which is a substantial scaling penalty.

At Medium settings, the pattern is similar: 212.7 FPS at 1080p drops to 134.6 FPS at 1440p, then to 67.6 FPS at 4K. The 4K figure is less than one-third of the 1080p result, showing that the GPU’s 8 GB frame buffer and 128-bit memory interface are heavily taxed at higher resolutions. High settings follow the same trajectory: 132.5 FPS at 1080p, 82.5 FPS at 1440p, and 46.9 FPS at 4K. The scaling from 1440p to 4K at High is a 43.2% performance loss, which is more severe than the 37.7% loss from 1080p to 1440p, suggesting that the memory bandwidth of 448.0 GB/s becomes a bottleneck as resolution climbs.

Ultra settings are the most demanding, with 86.3 FPS at 1080p dropping to 51.6 FPS at 1440p and then to 29.2 FPS at 4K. The 4K Ultra result is below 30 FPS, making it unsuitable for smooth gameplay. The scaling behavior across all presets points to a GPU-bound scenario at 4K, while at 1080p the CPU still has headroom to push higher frame rates, especially at Low and Medium where the RTX 5060 is not fully saturated.

CPU Role

The Intel Core i5-12400 brings six cores and twelve threads, with a base clock of 2.50 GHz and a boost clock of 4.40 GHz. This processor belongs to the Alder Lake architecture and has an 18 MB shared L3 cache. In benchmark terms, it scores 910 in 3DMark single-thread and 5890 in 3DMark max-threads, with a Cinebench R23 multicore score of 15935 and a single-core score of 2249. These numbers indicate a solid mid-range CPU that can handle modern games without being the limiting factor at lower resolutions.

In Allods Online, an MMORPG that often relies on single-thread performance for game logic and network processing, the i5-12400’s single-core strength is relevant. The 3DMark 2-thread score of 1692 and 4-thread score of 3012 show that lightly threaded workloads are handled well. At 1080p Low, the combination reaches 238.2 FPS, which is high enough that the CPU is likely still managing the game’s main thread without issue, but the gap between Low and Medium at 1080p (238.2 vs 212.7 FPS) is only 25.5 FPS, indicating that the GPU is starting to take over even at this resolution.

The CPU’s 77th percentile ranking among all CPUs, with an average benchmark score of 19850, places it close to the Intel Core i7-9700 (0.1% faster) and slightly ahead of the Intel Core i5-11600K (0.4% faster). In practice, the i5-12400 provides enough compute headroom for Allods Online at 1440p, where the frame rate at High is 82.5 FPS — a level that suggests the CPU is not holding back the RTX 5060. At 4K, the CPU role diminishes further, as the GPU’s workload dominates the rendering pipeline.

How This Combo Ranks

The combination of the Intel Core i5-12400 and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 ranks 799th out of 1715 tested combos in Allods Online. This places it in the 46.6th percentile of all combinations, meaning roughly 47% of tested pairs perform better and 53% perform worse. Given that the RTX 5060 alone sits at the 73rd percentile among GPUs, the combo ranking is dragged down by the CPU’s more modest 77th percentile standing, though the delta is small.

The GPU’s nearest rivals in average benchmark score are the AMD Radeon RX 7700 XT (0% delta), the AMD Radeon RX 570 (-0.2% delta), the NVIDIA Tesla M60 (0.5% delta), and the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Mobile (0.6% delta). This means the RTX 5060’s raw compute performance is nearly identical to the RX 7700 XT, yet in Allods Online the specific driver and architecture optimizations can shift real-world results. The CPU’s nearest rivals include the Intel Core i7-9700 (0.1% faster), Intel Core i7-8700 (-0.2% slower), AMD Ryzen Threadripper PRO 5995WX (-0.4% slower), and Intel Core i5-11600K (0.4% faster), all of which are within a fraction of a percent in average score.

The combo’s mid-pack ranking suggests that while the components are individually capable, the pairing does not produce exceptional results in this particular game. For an MMORPG like Allods Online, which is not known for pushing hardware to extremes, the 799th rank out of 1715 is a reasonable outcome. The measured FPS data confirms that the combo can deliver high frame rates at 1080p and playable rates at 1440p, with 4K reserved for lower settings.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the RTX 5060 delivers its strongest results. Low settings produce 238.2 FPS, Medium 212.7 FPS, High 132.5 FPS, and Ultra 86.3 FPS. The step from Low to Medium is only 25.5 FPS, but the jump to High costs 80.2 FPS, indicating a significant increase in GPU load. Ultra further drops by 46.2 FPS from High, showing that the highest preset is disproportionately demanding.

At 2560x1440, the frame rates are 172.1 FPS on Low, 134.6 FPS on Medium, 82.5 FPS on High, and 51.6 FPS on Ultra. The scaling from 1080p to 1440p is roughly 27.7% lower on Low, 36.7% lower on Medium, 37.7% lower on High, and 40.2% lower on Ultra. This progressive increase in performance loss with higher settings indicates that the GPU’s memory bandwidth and shading units are being stressed more as quality rises.

At 3840x2160, the results are 91 FPS on Low, 67.6 FPS on Medium, 46.9 FPS on High, and 29.2 FPS on Ultra. The 4K Low result is still playable, but Medium drops below 70 FPS, and High falls under 50 FPS. Ultra is not viable for consistent gameplay. The delta between 1440p and 4K is 47.1% on Low, 49.8% on Medium, 43.2% on High, and 43.4% on Ultra, showing that the resolution jump is costly regardless of preset.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 is built on the Blackwell 2.0 architecture with a GB206 chip, fabricated on a 5 nm process by TSMC. It features 3840 shading units, 120 TMUs, and 48 ROPs, with 30 RT cores and 120 tensor cores. The GPU operates at a base clock of 2280 MHz and a boost clock of 2497 MHz, with memory running at 1750 MHz effective (28 Gbps). The 8 GB of GDDR7 memory on a 128-bit bus provides a bandwidth of 448.0 GB/s.

In synthetic benchmarks, the RTX 5060 scores 20891 in Passmark G3D and 10899 in Passmark GPU Compute, with a Geekbench OpenCL score of 120785 and a Vulkan score of 116626. These figures place it at the 73rd percentile among all GPUs. Its average benchmark score of 30109 is nearly identical to the AMD Radeon RX 7700 XT (30097, 0% delta) and slightly above the NVIDIA Tesla M60 (29969, 0.5% delta).

In Allods Online, the GPU’s 8 GB VRAM is sufficient for 1080p and 1440p at all settings, as the frame rates remain high. At 4K, the memory capacity and bandwidth start to limit performance, particularly at High and Ultra where the average FPS drops to 46.9 and 29.2 respectively. The pixel rate of 119.9 GPixel/s and texture rate of 299.6 GTexel/s are adequate for this game’s art style, which is not exceptionally demanding compared to modern AAA titles. The RTX 5060’s role is clearly dominant at 4K, where the CPU has less influence, and the measured results reflect a GPU that is being pushed to its limits.

Settings Recommendations

For the best balance of visual quality and performance, Medium settings at 1440p are the standout choice. The 134.6 FPS average at 2560x1440 Medium is smooth and well above the 60 FPS threshold, while the visual upgrade from Low is noticeable. At 1080p, Medium delivers 212.7 FPS, which is excessive for most displays but useful for high-refresh-rate monitors.

If the target is 4K, Low settings at 91 FPS are the only viable option for a consistent experience. Medium at 4K drops to 67.6 FPS, which may be acceptable for less demanding scenes, but the margin is thin. High at 4K is not recommended, as 46.9 FPS will cause noticeable stutter in crowded MMORPG areas. Ultra is effectively unplayable at 4K with 29.2 FPS.

For players prioritizing frame rate over visuals, Low settings at 1080p provide 238.2 FPS, which is ideal for competitive or fast-paced gameplay. However, the jump to Medium only costs 25.5 FPS, making it a reasonable trade-off. At 1440p, High settings at 82.5 FPS offer a good middle ground, though the step from Medium to High costs 52.1 FPS, which may be too steep for some. The data suggests that Medium is the sweet spot across resolutions, delivering the highest frame rate before diminishing returns set in.
