# Allods Online with Intel Core i5-12400F + NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080

The combination of the Intel Core i5-12400F and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 delivers a thoroughly playable experience across all tested settings in Allods Online, a 2010-era MMORPG. The measured frame rates reveal a system that is heavily GPU-limited at higher resolutions and settings, while at 1080p Low the CPU's 6-core, 12-thread configuration becomes the more significant factor. The data shows a wide performance spread—from a demanding 46 FPS at 4K Ultra to a fluid 242 FPS at 1080p Low—indicating that the game's engine scales predictably with both resolution and graphical presets.

Resolution Scaling

The FPS progression from 1080p to 4K clearly illustrates where the bottleneck shifts between CPU and GPU. At Low settings, the drop from 1080p to 1440p is 35 FPS (242 to 207, a 14.5% reduction), while moving from 1440p to 4K costs another 58 FPS (207 to 149, a 28% reduction). This pattern suggests that even at Low settings, the RTX 4080's rendering workload at 4K is substantial enough to pull average frame rates down from the 200+ FPS range seen at lower resolutions.

The scaling becomes more severe at higher presets. With High settings, the transition from 1080p to 1440p drops performance by 45 FPS (185 to 140, a 24.3% decrease), and the jump to 4K costs another 67 FPS (140 to 73, a 47.9% decrease). At Ultra settings, the trend intensifies further: 1080p delivers 140 FPS, 1440p drops to 88 FPS (a 37.1% reduction), and 4K falls to 46 FPS (a 47.7% reduction from 1440p). This increasingly steep falloff at higher presets indicates that the GPU's shading units, texture units, and memory bandwidth become progressively more taxed as resolution and visual complexity rise.

The Medium preset offers the only complete data with minimum and maximum FPS values, providing insight into frame time consistency. At 4K Medium, the 99 FPS minimum and 134 FPS maximum bracket a 116 FPS average, showing a 30% variance between low and high frames. At 1440p Medium, the range is 161 to 218 FPS around a 190 average (a 30% spread), while 1080p Medium spans 188 to 254 FPS around 221 (a 30% spread). The consistent 30% variance across resolutions at Medium suggests the game's frame pacing is resolution-independent, pointing to CPU-side or engine-level frame time variations rather than GPU memory pressure.

The 4K Ultra result of 46 FPS is particularly telling. This represents a 79.7% reduction from the 4K Low result of 149 FPS, far exceeding the proportional increase in visual workload one might expect from preset changes alone. The data implies that the Ultra preset enables features—likely shadow quality, draw distance, or post-processing effects—that disproportionately impact the RTX 4080's performance at 4K resolution.

Settings Recommendations

Based on the measured rows, the Medium preset at 1440p offers the optimal balance of visual quality and performance. The 190 FPS average with a 161 FPS minimum ensures smooth gameplay even in crowded MMORPG scenarios, while the 30% frame time variance is consistent with the engine's typical behavior. At 4K, Medium provides a 116 FPS average with a 99 FPS minimum, which remains comfortably above playable thresholds for most displays.

For users prioritizing maximum visual fidelity, the High preset at 1440p delivers 140 FPS, which is sufficient for high-refresh-rate monitors up to 144Hz. However, at 4K High, the 73 FPS average may cause noticeable stuttering on 120Hz or 144Hz displays, making Medium the safer choice at that resolution. The Ultra preset at any resolution above 1080p produces results below 90 FPS (88 at 1440p, 46 at 4K), which the data suggests is a poor trade-off given the significant frame rate penalty.

At 1080p, the Low preset's 242 FPS is the highest measured result, but Medium's 221 FPS is nearly as fast while offering substantially better visuals. The 1080p Ultra result of 140 FPS matches the 1440p High result exactly, suggesting that the engine's Ultra preset at 1080p imposes a similar rendering load to High at 1440p—a useful reference point for users comparing across resolutions.

The data indicates that Low settings unlock the highest frame rates at every resolution (242, 207, and 149 FPS at 1080p, 1440p, and 4K respectively), but the gap between Low and Medium narrows as resolution increases. At 1080p, Medium is 21 FPS slower than Low (221 vs 242), at 1440p the gap is 17 FPS (190 vs 207), and at 4K it shrinks to 33 FPS (116 vs 149). This convergence suggests that at higher resolutions, the GPU's fill-rate limits dominate, making the preset's CPU-side overhead less impactful.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080's 16 GB of GDDR6X memory on a 256-bit bus provides 716.8 GB/s of bandwidth, which the data suggests is more than sufficient for Allods Online at all tested settings. The 4K Ultra result of 46 FPS is not indicative of memory capacity limitations—rather, it points to the GPU's 76 ray tracing cores and 304 tensor cores being engaged by the Ultra preset's advanced effects, which the 2010-era game engine may not implement efficiently.

The GPU's clock behavior is notable: a base clock of 2205 MHz and boost clock of 2505 MHz. The measured FPS pattern across settings implies that the RTX 4080 is operating at or near its boost clock during most scenes, given that the performance scaling from Low to Ultra follows a roughly linear path at 1080p (242 to 140 FPS) before diverging sharply at higher resolutions. The 48.74 TFLOPS FP32 throughput is the GPU's raw compute capacity, and the data shows it is only fully utilized at 4K Ultra, where the 46 FPS result indicates the shading units are heavily loaded.

The RTX 4080's 112 ROPs and 304 TMUs are critical for Allods Online's texture-heavy MMORPG environments. The pixel rate of 280.6 GPixel/s and texture rate of 761.5 GTexel/s explain why 4K Medium (116 FPS) is more than twice as fast as 4K Ultra (46 FPS)—the Ultra preset likely doubles or triples the texture sampling and pixel shading workloads, exceeding what the memory subsystem can sustain at 4K.

The GPU's 86th percentile ranking among all tested GPUs, with an average benchmark score of 54247, places it slightly below the RTX 4080 SUPER (0.1% slower) and above the AMD Radeon Pro W5700X (1.1% faster). In Allods Online specifically, the 4K results suggest the RTX 4080's performance is constrained by the game's engine rather than the GPU's absolute capability, as the 73 FPS at 4K High is far below what the hardware is capable of in more modern titles.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the four presets produce a clear hierarchy: Low leads with 242 FPS, followed by Medium at 221 FPS (with a 188-254 range), High at 185 FPS, and Ultra at 140 FPS. The 102 FPS spread between Low and Ultra at 1080p indicates that the CPU's 6 cores and 12 threads can feed the RTX 4080 efficiently up to a point, but the Ultra preset's additional CPU overhead begins to limit frame rates.

The 2560x1440 results show a similar ordering with compressed gaps: Low at 207 FPS, Medium at 190 (161-218), High at 140, and Ultra at 88 FPS. The 119 FPS difference between Low and Ultra at 1440p is larger than at 1080p, demonstrating that resolution scaling amplifies the GPU's workload more than the CPU's. The 1440p Medium minimum of 161 FPS is still above 144Hz refresh rates, making it a strong choice for competitive play.

At 3840x2160, the data reveals the most dramatic separation: Low at 149 FPS, Medium at 116 (99-134), High at 73, and Ultra at 46 FPS. The 103 FPS difference between Low and Ultra at 4K mirrors the 1080p spread, but the absolute values are far lower, placing Ultra at 46 FPS—barely above 30 FPS console territory. The 4K Medium minimum of 99 FPS is notable for being the only 4K result above 90 FPS, reinforcing Medium as the recommended 4K preset.

The Medium preset's complete data across all resolutions provides the most detailed picture. The minimum FPS values (188 at 1080p, 161 at 1440p, 99 at 4K) all fall within 31% of their respective averages, while the maximum values (254, 218, and 134) exceed averages by 15-18%. This asymmetry suggests occasional CPU-bound hitches that cause frame drops, but the overall experience remains smooth.

How This Combo Ranks

The Intel Core i5-12400F and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 combination ranks 488th out of 3670 tested combos in Allods Online, placing it in the top 13.3% of all configurations. This ranking reflects the CPU's 73rd percentile among all CPUs and the GPU's 86th percentile among all GPUs—the system's overall position is pulled down by the CPU, which is less exceptional than the GPU.

The CPU's nearest rivals in synthetic benchmarks include the AMD Ryzen 5 7535HS (matching score at 19047), Intel Core 3 201E (19056, 0.1% slower), Intel Core i5-1335U (18982, 0.3% faster), and AMD EPYC 7773X (18979, 0.3% faster). These near-identical scores in the 19000 range indicate that the i5-12400F's 6-core/12-thread configuration provides consistent multi-threaded performance, but the 4080's GPU-bound nature in Allods Online means CPU differences have limited impact on the 488th rank.

The GPU's nearest rivals—RTX 4080 SUPER (54209, 0.1% slower), AMD Radeon Pro W5700X (54828, 1.1% faster), AMD Radeon RX 6750 GRE 12 GB (55698, 2.6% faster), and AMD Radeon 8060S (55757, 2.7% faster)—show that the RTX 4080 is closely matched with its immediate competitors. In Allods Online, the 488th rank suggests that the combo sits among many similar high-end configurations, with the 4K Ultra result of 46 FPS likely being the differentiator that prevents a higher ranking.

The 3670 total combos tested means the 488th position is strong, but not elite. The data implies that combos with faster CPUs (higher single-thread performance) would rank better at lower resolutions, while combos with faster GPUs (such as the RTX 4080 SUPER) would improve 4K Ultra performance. The 0.1% delta between the RTX 4080 and RTX 4080 SUPER in synthetic benchmarks suggests the real-world Allods Online difference would be minimal, likely only 1-2 FPS at 4K Ultra.

CPU Role

The Intel Core i5-12400F's 6 cores and 12 threads, with a base clock of 2.50 GHz and boost clock of 4.40 GHz, provide the computational foundation for this combo. The CPU's 18 MB of shared L3 cache and 1.25 MB per-core L2 cache are sufficient for Allods Online's MMORPG workloads, which typically involve many concurrent entities, UI elements, and network processing. The 65W TDP and Intel Socket 1700 platform support DDR4 and DDR5 memory, though the measured FPS data does not distinguish between memory types.

Synthetic benchmarks show the CPU's strengths: a Cinebench R23 multicore score of 12380 and single-core score of 1680, with a Geekbench multicore score of 9472 and single-core score of 1964. The 3DMark 16-thread score of 5895 versus max-thread score of 5912 indicates negligible scaling beyond 12 threads, confirming that the 6-core/12-thread design is optimal for this workload. The Passmark multithread score of 19433 and single-thread score of 3481 place the CPU in the 73rd percentile overall.

In Allods Online, the CPU's role becomes apparent when examining the 1080p results. At Low settings, the 242 FPS average approaches what the 12 threads can sustain, and the 30% frame time variance seen at Medium settings (188-254 FPS at 1080p) suggests CPU-side scheduling or engine thread synchronization issues. The fact that 1080p Ultra (140 FPS) equals 1440p High (140 FPS) exactly indicates that the CPU is not the limiting factor at Ultra settings—the GPU's workload dominates at that preset.

The CPU's nearest rivals in synthetic benchmarks—AMD Ryzen 5 7535HS (19047), Intel Core 3 201E (19056), Intel Core i5-1335U (18982), and AMD EPYC 7773X (18979)—all score within 0.3% of the i5-12400F's 19039 average. This clustering suggests that in Allods Online, the CPU's 12 threads provide sufficient headroom for the game's logic, and the 488th combo rank is primarily determined by GPU performance. The 3DMark 2-thread score of 1699 and 4-thread score of 3067 indicate that the CPU's per-core performance is adequate for the game's single-threaded subsystems, which likely handle UI rendering and network I/O.
