The Intel Core i5-12600KF paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 delivers a playable but not exceptional experience in Allods Online, landing at rank 2877 out of 3670 tested combos. The data indicates a system that excels at lower resolutions and settings, but struggles to maintain high frame rates at 4K Ultra, revealing a clear performance ceiling defined by the GPU.

How This Combo Ranks

The combination of the Intel Core i5-12600KF and the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 places in the 78th percentile of all tested system pairings for Allods Online, with a rank of 2877 out of 3670. This position suggests that while the system is far from the bottom of the pack, a significant majority of other configurations deliver higher average frame rates in this specific MMORPG. The rank is a direct reflection of the measured FPS data, which shows the pairing is more suited to 1080p and 1440p gaming than to 4K.

This performance tier is consistent with the individual component benchmarks. The CPU sits in the 79th percentile of all processors, with an average benchmark score of 27799. Its nearest rivals, such as the Intel Core i9-10900K (scoring 27872, a -0.3% delta) and the AMD Ryzen 7 5800X3D (scoring 27896, a -0.3% delta), are essentially statistical peers, indicating the i5-12600KF is a high-performing processor with no significant advantage or disadvantage over these alternatives. Conversely, the GPU sits in the 58th percentile of all graphics cards, with an average benchmark score of 15290. Its nearest rivals, including the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 580 (scoring 15283, a 0% delta) and the AMD Radeon 680M (scoring 15270, a 0.1% delta), are far less powerful in modern terms, highlighting that the RTX 2060 is a mid-range performer that constitutes the primary bottleneck in this pairing.

The deltaPct values for both components are minimal, meaning the i5-12600KF and RTX 2060 are functionally equivalent in raw benchmark scores to their closest competitors. The system's overall rank in Allods Online is therefore not a result of an exceptional or deficient component, but rather the product of a balanced mid-range setup that is outpaced by configurations with more powerful GPUs.

A: The Intel Core i5-12600KF has an average benchmark score of 27799. Its nearest rivals, the Intel Core i9-10900K and AMD Ryzen 7 5800X3D, score 27872 and 27896 respectively, with deltaPct values of -0.3% for both. This indicates the i5-12600KF is effectively tied in performance with these processors.

Q: How does the GPU performance compare to its rivals?

A: The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 has an average benchmark score of 15290. It is closely matched with the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 580 (15283, 0% delta) and the AMD Radeon 680M (15270, 0.1% delta). The data suggests it is slightly ahead of the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 OEM (15199, 0.6% delta) and the AMD Radeon RX 7600 (15171, 0.8% delta).

Q: What does the FPS difference between Low and Ultra settings indicate?

A: The difference is substantial. At 1920x1080, the average FPS drops from 196 at Low settings to 61 at Ultra, a reduction of 135 FPS. This large gap shows that the system has significant headroom at lower settings but is heavily taxed by the increased graphical load of Ultra, which includes more demanding effects that the RTX 2060 cannot process quickly enough.

Q: Is the CPU or GPU the limiting factor in this game?

A: The data suggests the GPU is the primary limiting factor, especially at higher resolutions. For instance, at 3840x2160, the average FPS falls to 32 at High settings, a clear sign of GPU strain. The CPU, with its high benchmark scores and strong single-thread performance, appears capable of feeding the GPU adequately at lower resolutions, but the GPU's performance ceiling is reached first.

Resolution Scaling

The measured FPS data reveals a steep performance drop as resolution increases, a classic indicator of GPU-bound rendering. Moving from 1920x1080 to 2560x1440 at High settings, the average FPS falls from 97 to 61, a 37% reduction. The scaling continues when moving to 3840x2160, where the average FPS drops to 32, a further 48% reduction from the 1440p figure. This pattern strongly suggests that the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 is the component determining the performance ceiling, as the resolution increase directly multiplies the pixel workload that the GPU must handle.

The impact of resolution is even more pronounced at the highest settings. At Ultra, the average FPS is 61 at 1080p, 38 at 1440p, and a mere 20 at 4K. The 4K Ultra result is particularly telling, as it represents a 67% drop from the 1080p Ultra score. This indicates that the combination of 4K resolution and Ultra settings creates a workload that is beyond the capabilities of the RTX 2060, pushing the frame rate to the point of being unplayable for most users. The data shows that the system is only comfortable at 4K when settings are reduced to Low, where it achieves 65 FPS.

The scaling behavior also provides insight into the CPU's role. At 1080p Low, the system achieves 196 FPS, which is a high frame rate that suggests the CPU is capable of handling the game's logic and draw calls at a rapid pace. However, the frame rate does not improve significantly at lower resolutions, indicating that the CPU is not the primary constraint. The bottleneck is clearly the GPU, which is unable to maintain high frame rates as the pixel count increases, even when the CPU has more headroom.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the system demonstrates its strongest performance. With Low settings, the average FPS is a very high 196, indicating a smooth and responsive experience. Medium settings still deliver excellent performance with an average of 154 FPS, with minimum and maximum values of 131 and 177 FPS respectively. High settings yield an average of 97 FPS, which is still very playable for an MMORPG. Ultra settings are the most demanding, producing an average of 61 FPS, which is acceptable but shows a significant performance cost for the highest visual fidelity.

At 2560x1440, the performance decreases noticeably. Low settings produce an average of 124 FPS, which remains excellent. Medium settings average 97 FPS, with a range of 82 to 112 FPS, indicating good consistency. High settings drop to an average of 61 FPS, which is a solid result for 1440p. Ultra settings are where the system begins to struggle, with an average of only 38 FPS, which may feel less fluid during intense combat or crowded areas.

At 3840x2160, the system is clearly limited. Low settings produce an average of 65 FPS, which is playable but not exceptional. Medium settings average 51 FPS, with a range of 43 to 58 FPS, showing some frame time variance. High settings drop to 32 FPS, which is a challenging experience for a game that requires quick reactions. Ultra settings are not viable for gameplay, with an average of only 20 FPS, rendering the game effectively unplayable at this configuration.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060, with its 6 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 192-bit bus and 336.0 GB/s of bandwidth, is the primary determinant of frame rates in Allods Online. The GPU's 1920 shading units, 120 TMUs, and 48 ROPs, running at a base clock of 1365 MHz and a boost clock of 1680 MHz, are responsible for the pixel and texture processing. The benchmark results show that the GPU's capabilities are insufficient for the highest settings at 4K, where the average FPS falls to 20. This is a direct result of the GPU being unable to keep up with the massive pixel fill rate required at that resolution.

The GPU's performance in this game is consistent with its overall benchmark standing. With a percentile rank of 58 against all GPUs and an average benchmark score of 15290, it is a mid-range card. Its closest rivals, such as the AMD Radeon 680M (deltaPct 0.1%) and the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 OEM (deltaPct 0.6%), are similarly positioned. The data shows that the RTX 2060 is a capable 1080p and 1440p card, but its 6 GB of VRAM and compute power become a limiting factor at 4K, particularly when settings are raised. The VRAM capacity is not explicitly tested in the FPS data, but the performance cliff observed at 4K Ultra suggests the GPU is overwhelmed by the combined demands of resolution and graphical effects.

The GPU's role is further highlighted by the FPS scaling. The 32 FPS average at 4K High versus the 97 FPS average at 1080p High represents a 67% performance loss, which is a typical consequence of a GPU bottleneck. The CPU, with its high core count and clock speeds, is not the cause of this drop; it is the GPU's inability to process the increased number of pixels that leads to the lower frame rates.

CPU Role

The Intel Core i5-12600KF, with its 10 cores (comprising 6 performance cores and 4 efficiency cores) and 16 threads, provides the processing power for game logic and physics in Allods Online. Its base clock of 3.70 GHz and boost clock of 4.90 GHz, along with a 20 MB shared L3 cache, allow for strong single-threaded performance, which is often critical for MMORPGs. The benchmark scores support this, with a Cinebench R23 single-core score of 3302 and a multi-core score of 23391, placing the CPU in the 79th percentile of all processors.

In the context of the game's measured FPS, the CPU appears to be a capable partner for the RTX 2060, but not the limiting factor. At 1080p Low, the system achieves 196 FPS, a frame rate that suggests the CPU is not a bottleneck. The performance drop at higher resolutions is more attributable to the GPU. The CPU's high avgBenchmarkScore of 27799, which is nearly identical to rivals like the Intel Core i9-10900K (27872) and AMD Ryzen 7 5800X3D (27896), indicates it is more than sufficient for this workload.

The CPU's role is to ensure the GPU is fed with data. The data shows that this is happening effectively at lower resolutions, where the system achieves high frame rates. However, the CPU's performance does not compensate for the GPU's limitations at 4K. The 20 FPS average at 4K Ultra is not a sign of CPU weakness, but rather of the GPU's inability to process the frame. Therefore, the CPU is enabling the system to reach its potential, but the overall performance ceiling is set by the GPU.
