# Allods Online with Intel Core i5-12400F + NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060

The Intel Core i5-12400F paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 delivers a wide spread of frame rates in Allods Online, spanning from a playable 26 FPS at 4K Ultra to a blistering 242 FPS at 1080p Low. This combination ranks 1915th out of 3670 tested combos for this game, placing it in the lower-middle tier of the database, yet the measured data reveals that the experience is heavily dependent on the chosen resolution and quality preset. The 6-core, 12-thread Alder Lake processor with a 2.50 GHz base and 4.40 GHz boost clock provides ample compute for an MMORPG from 2010, while the RTX 4060’s 8 GB of GDDR6 memory and 272.0 GB/s bandwidth become the defining factors as resolution climbs.

Resolution Scaling

The FPS drop from 1080p to 4K is dramatic and tells a clear story about which component becomes the bottleneck. At 1080p High, the combo produces 126 FPS, but at 1440p High that figure falls to 79 FPS, and at 4K High it plummets to 41 FPS. This represents a 67% reduction from 1080p to 4K at High settings, indicating that the GPU is the limiting factor as pixel count increases. The pattern is consistent across all quality presets: Low settings show 242 FPS at 1080p, 161 FPS at 1440p, and 84 FPS at 4K — a 65% drop. Ultra settings exhibit the steepest absolute decline, from 79 FPS at 1080p to 50 FPS at 1440p and finally 26 FPS at 4K, a 67% loss.

The scaling behavior suggests the RTX 4060’s 8 GB VRAM and 128-bit memory bus are the primary constraints at higher resolutions, particularly with the 272.0 GB/s bandwidth being taxed by 4K pixel throughput. The CPU’s role appears secondary here; the i5-12400F’s 18 MB of shared L3 cache and 12 threads are sufficient to feed frames at 1080p, where the GPU is clearly the ceiling at 242 FPS. However, the gap between Medium and High at each resolution is notable: at 4K, Medium delivers 66 FPS versus High’s 41 FPS, suggesting that the High preset introduces effects that disproportionately impact the GPU without a proportional visual return. The data implies that players targeting 4K should avoid Ultra entirely, as the 26 FPS result is below playability thresholds, while Medium offers a viable path to smooth gameplay.

How This Combo Ranks

With a combo rank of 1915 out of 3670 tested combinations, this pairing sits just past the midpoint of the database for Allods Online. This ranking reflects a system that is neither a top-tier performer nor a weak contender; it lands in the 52nd percentile of tested combos. The CPU alone holds a percentile of 73 against all processors, while the GPU sits at 61 against all graphics cards, yet the combined rank is lower than either component’s individual standing. This discrepancy suggests that Allods Online’s engine does not fully leverage the strengths of this hardware pairing, likely due to the game’s 2010 release date and its single-threaded or lightly-threaded rendering paths.

The nearest rival CPUs by average benchmark score are the AMD Ryzen 5 7535HS (deltaPct 0), Intel Core 3 201E (deltaPct -0.1), Intel Core i5-1335U (deltaPct 0.3), and AMD EPYC 7773X (deltaPct 0.3). These rivals all score within 0.3% of the i5-12400F’s average, indicating that the CPU is well-matched to peers in raw compute, but none of these are desktop gaming chips — the 7535HS is a mobile part, the 1335U is a low-power mobile chip, and the EPYC 7773X is a server processor. This highlights that the i5-12400F’s desktop-oriented design with 6 full-performance cores does not translate into a top combo ranking for this specific title. The GPU’s nearest rivals include the AMD Radeon HD 7790 (deltaPct -0.2), AMD Radeon 780M (deltaPct 0.3), and AMD Radeon Pro 560 (deltaPct 0.5), which are all older or integrated-class parts, underscoring that the RTX 4060 is substantially ahead of its immediate benchmark neighbors yet still lands mid-pack for this game.

CPU Role

The Intel Core i5-12400F provides 6 cores and 12 threads from its Alder Lake-S architecture, built on Intel’s 10 nm process. Its base clock of 2.50 GHz and boost clock of 4.40 GHz give it strong single-thread performance, evidenced by a 3DMark single-thread score of 909 and a Cinebench R23 single-core score of 1680. For Allods Online, an MMORPG that launched in 2010, single-threaded performance is typically more critical than multi-core scaling. The 3DMark 2-thread score of 1699 versus the 16-thread score of 5895 shows that the processor gains roughly 3.5x performance when moving from 2 to 16 threads, but the game likely does not utilize all available threads.

The CPU’s 73rd percentile ranking among all processors indicates it is a capable part for general workloads, but the combo rank of 1915 suggests that Allods Online is not CPU-bound in most scenarios. At 1080p Low, the 242 FPS result is likely near the game engine’s frame rate ceiling, and the CPU’s 18 MB of L3 cache helps maintain consistent frame delivery. The PassMark multithread score of 19433 and Cinebench R23 multicore score of 12380 show solid multi-threaded capability, but these are unlikely to matter much given the game’s age. The data suggests the i5-12400F is more than adequate for this title, and any performance limitations at higher resolutions stem from GPU constraints rather than CPU deficits. The 65 W TDP and lack of an unlocked multiplier position this as a mainstream part, which aligns with its mid-pack combo ranking.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the measured results show a wide spread across settings. Low settings produce 242 FPS average, Medium delivers 200 FPS (with a minimum of 170 FPS and maximum of 230 FPS), High achieves 126 FPS, and Ultra drops to 79 FPS. The delta between Low and Ultra is 163 FPS, representing a 67% reduction. The Medium preset’s frame time consistency, as indicated by the 170-230 FPS range, suggests stable performance for competitive play.

Moving to 2560x1440, the frame rates scale down predictably. Low settings yield 161 FPS, Medium provides 126 FPS (with a range of 107-145 FPS), High reaches 79 FPS, and Ultra falls to 50 FPS. The 1080p to 1440p drop at Low is 81 FPS (a 33% reduction), while at Ultra it is 29 FPS (a 37% reduction), showing that higher settings suffer slightly more from resolution scaling.

At 3840x2160, the results become more demanding. Low settings still produce a playable 84 FPS, Medium drops to 66 FPS (with a 56-76 FPS range), High falls to 41 FPS, and Ultra becomes nearly unplayable at 26 FPS. The 1440p to 4K transition at High settings shows a 38 FPS drop (a 48% reduction), while at Low it is 77 FPS (a 48% reduction). This consistent ~48% loss from 1440p to 4K across settings reinforces that the RTX 4060’s memory bandwidth of 272.0 GB/s is the limiting factor. The absence of minimum FPS data for Low and High presets at each resolution means the frame pacing at those settings is unknown, but the Medium presets all show reasonable minimums above 50 FPS even at 4K.

Settings Recommendations

For the best balance of frame rate and visual quality, the Medium preset at 1440p is the standout choice. It delivers 126 FPS average with a minimum of 107 FPS, ensuring smooth gameplay even in demanding scenes. At 1080p, Medium offers 200 FPS average with a 170 FPS minimum, which is ideal for high-refresh-rate monitors, while High at 1080p still provides 126 FPS if visual fidelity is prioritized. Players with 4K displays should stick to Low settings (84 FPS) for playable performance, as Medium drops to 66 FPS and High falls to 41 FPS. Ultra settings are only viable at 1080p (79 FPS) and 1440p (50 FPS), but the significant frame rate cost relative to High suggests it offers diminishing returns. The data implies that Medium provides the most consistent experience across resolutions, with the 56-76 FPS range at 4K and 107-145 FPS at 1440p showing stable frame pacing.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060, built on the AD107 chip using TSMC’s 5 nm process, features 8 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 128-bit bus with 272.0 GB/s bandwidth. Its base clock of 1830 MHz and boost clock of 2460 MHz, combined with 3072 shading units and 96 texture mapping units, deliver a FP32 performance of 15.11 TFLOPS. The GPU’s 61st percentile ranking among all graphics cards places it in the mid-range tier, but its performance in Allods Online is heavily constrained by memory bandwidth at higher resolutions. The PassMark G3D score of 19545 and 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 2302 reflect solid modern performance, yet the 4K Ultra result of 26 FPS reveals the 128-bit bus cannot sustain the pixel throughput required by this game’s Ultra preset.

The GPU’s nearest rivals — the AMD Radeon HD 7790, Radeon 780M, Radeon Pro 560, and Radeon Pro 460 — all score within 0.7% of the RTX 4060 in average benchmarks, yet these are vastly different hardware generations. This indicates that the RTX 4060’s benchmark profile is unusual, likely due to its power efficiency (115 W TDP) and compact design. In Allods Online, the GPU’s role is dominant at 4K, where frame rates scale almost linearly with resolution: 84 FPS at Low, 66 FPS at Medium, 41 FPS at High, and 26 FPS at Ultra. The 8 GB VRAM is sufficient for this 2010 title, but the 272.0 GB/s bandwidth becomes the ceiling, explaining why the combo ranks lower than the sum of its parts. The 24 RT cores and 96 tensor cores are irrelevant for this game, but the 48 ROPs and 118.1 GPixel/s pixel rate influence how effectively the GPU fills pixels at 4K, ultimately capping performance below playability at Ultra settings.
