# Allods Online with Intel Core i5-12600KF + NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070

This combination of the Intel Core i5-12600KF and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 ranks 576th out of 3,670 tested combos in Allods Online, placing it comfortably in the top 16% of all systems measured. The pairing leverages a 10-core, 16-thread Alder Lake processor with a 12 GB GDDR7 graphics card, and the benchmark data shows this is a system capable of handling the 2010-era MMORPG at high frame rates across most settings, though Ultra presets at 4K remain a challenge.

How This Combo Ranks

The combo's rank of 576 out of 3,670 tested configurations puts it in the 84th percentile overall, meaning it outperforms roughly 84% of all recorded system pairings for this title. This is a strong result for a game that launched in 2010, as the hardware is clearly modern enough to push the aging engine to high frame rates without excessive strain.

Looking at the individual components, the CPU sits at the 79th percentile among all processors tested, with an average benchmark score of 27,799. Its nearest rivals in the synthetic benchmark suite include the Intel Core i9-10900K, which scores 27,872 and is just 0.3% faster, and the AMD Ryzen 7 5800X3D, which scores 27,896 and is also 0.3% faster. The AMD Ryzen 5 8500GE scores 27,712, putting it 0.3% behind the i5-12600KF. These near-identical scores indicate that the i5-12600KF sits right at the edge of a performance plateau, with its 10 cores and 16 threads providing ample compute for modern workloads. The CPU's 20 MB of shared L3 cache and 1.25 MB L2 per core help keep data flowing efficiently, though in Allods Online specifically, the game's age means the processor is rarely the bottleneck.

The GPU, meanwhile, ranks at the 82nd percentile among all graphics cards, with an average benchmark score of 40,377. Its nearest rivals tell an interesting story: the AMD Radeon Pro 580 scores 40,318 (0.1% slower), the AMD Radeon Pro WX 7100 scores 40,063 (0.8% slower), and the AMD Radeon Pro 5300 scores 40,870 (1.2% faster). These professional-grade cards are surprisingly close in raw compute, though the RTX 5070's 12 GB of GDDR7 memory and 672.0 GB/s bandwidth give it a distinct advantage in gaming workloads that rely on rapid texture streaming. The GPU's 30.87 TFLOPS of FP32 performance and 482.3 GTexel/s texture rate are more than sufficient for a game like Allods Online, which was designed for hardware from over a decade ago.

When combined, the CPU and GPU produce a system that comfortably handles the game at 1080p and 1440p, with 4K being the only resolution where the user must make compromises. The data suggests this pairing is well-balanced for this title, as neither component falls dramatically behind the other in relative performance.

Settings Recommendations

The measured FPS data provides a clear picture of how this combo handles different quality presets. At 1080p, the system delivers 271 FPS on Low, 248 FPS on Medium, 185 FPS on High, and 117 FPS on Ultra. The jump from Medium to High costs 63 FPS, while the jump from High to Ultra costs another 68 FPS. For players with high-refresh-rate monitors, the Low preset's 271 FPS is well beyond what most displays can show, but the Medium preset at 248 FPS still leaves enormous headroom and offers a noticeably better visual experience. The High preset at 185 FPS remains exceptionally smooth for competitive play, and even Ultra at 117 FPS is playable on a 120 Hz display.

At 1440p, the story remains positive. Low delivers 233 FPS, Medium 186 FPS, High 117 FPS, and Ultra 74 FPS. The Medium preset here is the sweet spot, offering 186 FPS with the measured minimum of 158 FPS ensuring no noticeable stutter. High at 117 FPS is still excellent for most gaming scenarios, while Ultra at 74 FPS is acceptable but begins to show the system's limits at this resolution.

At 4K, the settings recommendations become more critical. Low delivers 124 FPS, Medium 97 FPS (with min 83 FPS and max 112 FPS), High 61 FPS, and Ultra 39 FPS. The Medium preset at 4K is the best balance, providing nearly 100 FPS with a minimum above 83 FPS, which keeps the experience fluid. High at 61 FPS is borderline but playable for slower-paced MMO content, while Ultra at 39 FPS falls below the 40 FPS threshold where many players find motion smoothness acceptable. The data indicates that for the best experience, users should stick with Medium at 4K, High at 1440p, and can freely choose Ultra at 1080p if visual fidelity is the priority.

Resolution Scaling

The FPS scaling from 1080p to 4K reveals how the system allocates its resources. At the Low preset, frame rates drop from 271 FPS at 1080p to 233 FPS at 1440p to 124 FPS at 4K — a reduction of 14% and 54% respectively. The 4K drop is substantial, indicating that the GPU is becoming the limiting factor as pixel count quadruples from 1440p to 4K. At Medium, the scaling shows 248 FPS at 1080p, 186 FPS at 1440p (a 25% drop), and 97 FPS at 4K (a 48% drop from 1440p). The pattern continues at High with 185 FPS, 117 FPS, and 61 FPS — again roughly a 37% drop from 1080p to 1440p and a 48% drop from 1440p to 4K.

At Ultra, the numbers are 117 FPS at 1080p, 74 FPS at 1440p, and 39 FPS at 4K. The 1080p-to-1440p drop of 37% is consistent with the other presets, but the 1440p-to-4K drop of 47% shows the GPU struggling with the 8.3 million pixels at 4K. The fact that the 1080p-to-1440p scaling is nearly identical across presets (37-38%) while the 1440p-to-4K scaling varies between 47-54% suggests that at lower resolutions, the CPU has enough headroom to feed the GPU, but at 4K, the GPU's pixel throughput becomes the primary constraint. This is a classic sign of a balanced system at 1080p and 1440p, with the GPU taking over as the limiting factor at 4K.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the system delivers its best performance. The Low preset achieves 271 FPS average, which is extraordinarily high and indicates the game is barely taxing the hardware at this resolution. Medium produces 248 FPS with a minimum of 211 FPS and a maximum of 286 FPS, showing consistent frame pacing. High drops to 185 FPS, still well above what any standard monitor can display. Ultra brings things down to 117 FPS, which is exactly the figure seen at 1440p High and 4K High, suggesting a consistent performance tier across resolutions.

At 2560x1440, the numbers show the system's versatility. Low hits 233 FPS, Medium 186 FPS (min 158 FPS, max 214 FPS), High 117 FPS, and Ultra 74 FPS. The Medium preset's minimum of 158 FPS is particularly notable because it means even in demanding scenes, the frame rate never drops below the 144 Hz refresh rate that many gaming monitors support. High at 117 FPS is still excellent for a 120 Hz display, and Ultra at 74 FPS is playable for an MMO where reaction times are less critical than in competitive shooters.

At 3840x2160, the system shows its limits. Low achieves 124 FPS, which is still very playable and suggests that even at 4K, the game can run at high frame rates if the user accepts reduced graphical fidelity. Medium delivers 97 FPS with a minimum of 83 FPS and a maximum of 112 FPS — this is the standout 4K preset, offering smooth gameplay without requiring the user to drop to Low. High manages 61 FPS, which is fine for casual play but may feel slightly less fluid during intense combat with many players on screen. Ultra falls to 39 FPS, which is below the 40 FPS threshold that most users consider the minimum for acceptable gameplay, making it the only preset that is not recommended at 4K.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 plays a central role in this combo's performance, particularly at higher resolutions. The GPU features 12 GB of GDDR7 memory on a 192-bit bus, delivering 672.0 GB/s of bandwidth. This memory configuration is ample for Allods Online, which, despite its 2010 release date, can still benefit from fast texture streaming in crowded areas with many player characters and effects. The GPU's 80 ROPs and 192 TMUs provide a pixel rate of 201.0 GPixel/s and a texture rate of 482.3 GTexel/s, which explains why the card handles 1080p and 1440p with such ease.

Clock speeds are another factor. The RTX 5070 runs at a base clock of 2325 MHz and boosts to 2512 MHz, with memory running at 1750 MHz (28 Gbps effective). These clocks, combined with the Blackwell 2.0 architecture's 6,144 shading units, produce the 30.87 TFLOPS FP32 performance that drives the frame rates seen in the measured data. The GPU also has 48 RT cores and 192 tensor cores, though these are largely irrelevant for Allods Online, which does not use ray tracing or DLSS features.

The GPU's 82nd percentile ranking among all graphics cards, with an average benchmark score of 40,377, positions it well above the median. Its nearest rivals in synthetic testing — the AMD Radeon Pro 580 and Radeon Pro WX 7100 — are professional workstation cards that score similarly in pure compute but lack the gaming-specific optimizations and driver support that the RTX 5070 brings. The 12 GB VRAM is particularly important at 4K, where the game's texture sets, even if dated, can consume significant memory when combined with high-resolution rendering buffers.

The GPU's 250 W TDP and suggested 600 W PSU requirement indicate a power-hungry component, but the performance data justifies this. At 4K Medium, the card delivers 97 FPS with a minimum of 83 FPS, which is an excellent result for a game that was never designed with modern hardware in mind. The GPU's role becomes most apparent when comparing 1080p and 4K performance: at 1080p, even the Ultra preset hits 117 FPS, while at 4K, the same preset drops to 39 FPS — a 67% reduction that clearly shows the GPU being pushed to its limits by the 4x pixel increase.
