How This Combo Ranks

The combination of the Intel Core i5-13400F and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 achieves a rank of 695 out of 1715 tested combinations for Allods Online. This places the system in the 40th percentile of all combos tested, meaning it outperforms a majority of systems while still leaving room at the top for more powerful hardware. The data indicates that this is a solid mid-to-upper tier pairing for this specific MMORPG.

This ranking makes sense when examining the individual components. The RTX 3070 holds a 72nd percentile rank among all GPUs, while the i5-13400F sits at the 82nd percentile among all CPUs. Both are strong performers individually, and their combined rank in this game reflects that synergy. The fact that the combo rank is lower than both individual percentiles suggests that Allods Online may not fully utilize the strengths of either component, likely due to its age and the nature of MMORPG gameplay.

The benchmark scores for the CPU place it in close competition with several other processors. Its average score of 25236 is only 0.1% ahead of the Intel Core i7-13620H and 0.5% ahead of the AMD EPYC 9474F. It is also just 0.5% behind the AMD Ryzen 5 5600X3D. This tight grouping shows that the i5-13400F offers competitive processing power in its class. For the GPU, the RTX 3070's average score of 28238 is 0.9% above the AMD Radeon RX 6600 XT and 1% above the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 980 Ti, but 0.6% below the AMD FirePro S7150 and 1.1% below the AMD Radeon R9 M295X.

Settings Recommendations

Based on the measured frame rates, the optimal settings preset depends heavily on the target resolution. For the smoothest experience, the data shows that Low settings always provide the highest frame rates. At 1920x1080, Low settings produce an average of 253.1 FPS, while Ultra drops to 90 FPS. The jump from Low to Medium at 1080p results in a smaller drop to 228.9 FPS, suggesting that Medium is a reasonable compromise for higher visual quality without sacrificing much performance.

At 2560x1440, the pattern continues. Low settings deliver 183.5 FPS, Medium drops to 141 FPS, and High comes in at 89.6 FPS. The Ultra preset at this resolution averages exactly 60 FPS, which is still playable but represents the bare minimum for smooth motion. For 3840x2160, the data strongly suggests avoiding the higher presets. Ultra at 4K averages only 28.7 FPS, which is not a playable experience. High at 4K is better at 47.9 FPS, but still below the 60 FPS target. Low at 4K averages 94.3 FPS, making it the only viable option for 4K gameplay.

The best experience balances visual fidelity with frame rate. At 1080p, Medium or High settings are excellent choices, as they offer high frame rates of 228.9 and 141.6 FPS respectively. At 1440p, Medium is the sweet spot, providing 141 FPS with better visuals than Low. For 4K, Low is the only recommended preset due to the significant performance penalty of higher settings.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The measured FPS data reveals a clear performance hierarchy across resolutions and settings. At 1920x1080, the system achieves an average of 253.1 FPS on Low settings. This drops to 228.9 FPS on Medium, 141.6 FPS on High, and 90 FPS on Ultra. The substantial gap between Medium and High at 1080p indicates a significant increase in graphical load at the High preset.

At 2560x1440, the averages are 183.5 FPS for Low, 141 FPS for Medium, 89.6 FPS for High, and exactly 60 FPS for Ultra. The scaling from 1080p to 1440p shows a consistent drop of roughly 28-30% across most settings. For example, High settings go from 141.6 FPS at 1080p to 89.6 FPS at 1440p, a reduction of 52 FPS. The Ultra preset at 1440p matches the 60 FPS mark, which is often considered the threshold for console-like smoothness.

At 3840x2160, the performance takes a significant hit. Low settings average 94.3 FPS, Medium drops to 74.6 FPS, High falls to 47.9 FPS, and Ultra bottoms out at 28.7 FPS. The difference between 1440p and 4K is substantial, with Low settings dropping from 183.5 FPS to 94.3 FPS. This data confirms that 4K resolution is only practical with the Low preset for this combo.

The pattern across all resolutions shows that the Ultra preset is consistently the most demanding, often halving the frame rate compared to High. The difference between Low and Medium is relatively small, while the jump to High and Ultra introduces progressively larger performance costs.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 plays a central role in determining frame rates at higher resolutions and settings. Its 8 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 256-bit bus provides a bandwidth of 448.0 GB/s, which is sufficient for the textures and assets in Allods Online. The GPU's architecture is Ampere, built on an 8 nm process from Samsung, with 5888 shading units and 184 texture mapping units.

The clock speeds of the RTX 3070 are 1500 MHz base and 1725 MHz boost. These clocks, combined with 96 ROPs, allow the GPU to achieve a pixel rate of 165.6 GPixel/s and a texture rate of 317.4 GTexel/s. The FP32 performance is rated at 20.31 TFLOPS, which provides ample compute power for this older MMORPG.

The benchmark results show the RTX 3070 achieving a Passmark G3D score of 22214 and a Geekbench OpenCL score of 123479. Its average benchmark score of 28238 places it in the 72nd percentile of all GPUs. In Allods Online, the GPU's performance becomes the limiting factor at 4K resolution, where even High settings drop to 47.9 FPS. The data suggests that the GPU is well-utilized at 1080p and 1440p, where it can maintain high frame rates, but the demands of 4K Ultra (28.7 FPS) exceed its capabilities.

CPU Role

The Intel Core i5-13400F has 10 cores and 16 threads, with a base clock of 2.50 GHz and a boost clock of 4.60 GHz. This configuration is based on the Raptor Lake architecture on a 10 nm process. The CPU features a 20 MB shared L3 cache, which helps with game logic and world data in an MMORPG like Allods Online.

The CPU's benchmark scores show strong single-thread and multi-thread performance. It scores 3004 in Cinebench R23 single-core and 21279 in multi-core. In Geekbench, it achieves 2301 single-core and 10971 multi-core. The Passmark multithread score is 25032, with a single-thread score of 3634. These results place the CPU in the 82nd percentile of all CPUs.

For Allods Online, the CPU's role is most apparent at lower resolutions and settings where the GPU is not fully stressed. At 1080p Low settings, the system reaches 253.1 FPS, indicating that the CPU is capable of feeding the GPU enough data to achieve very high frame rates. The CPU's 16 threads are likely beneficial for handling the multiple background processes and network operations common in MMORPGs. The data shows that the CPU does not appear to be a bottleneck at any tested setting, as frame rates scale consistently with GPU load. The CPU's performance is also competitive, with its average score being 0.1% higher than the Intel Core i7-13620H and 0.5% higher than the AMD EPYC 9474F.
