Allods Online

The Intel Core i5-13400F paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 delivers a wide spread of frame rates in Allods Online, depending entirely on resolution and quality settings. The data shows a system that is overwhelmingly GPU-limited at higher resolutions and settings, yet reveals the CPU’s substantial headroom at lower loads. This analysis walks through the measured FPS, the role of each component, and how this combination ranks among 1,715 tested combos.

Resolution Scaling

The frame rate drop from 1920x1080 to 3840x2160 is steep and consistent across all settings, indicating that the RTX 4090 is the primary bottleneck as pixel count rises. At Ultra settings, the average FPS falls from 156 at 1080p to 99.5 at 1440p, then to 50.7 at 4K. That represents a 67.5% reduction from 1080p to 4K. The pattern is similar at High settings, where 191.7 FPS at 1080p drops to 155.8 at 1440p and then to 83.5 at 4K — a 56.4% decline. The scaling is not linear; the 1440p to 4K jump is far more punishing than the 1080p to 1440p step, which suggests the GPU’s memory bandwidth and shading throughput become increasingly strained as resolution grows.

At Medium settings, the same trend holds: 232.7 FPS at 1080p, 199.8 at 1440p, and 127.8 at 4K. The 4K figure is still highly playable, but it is only 54.9% of the 1080p result. Low settings show the smallest relative drop, from 251 FPS at 1080p to 215.7 at 1440p to 164.5 at 4K — a 34.5% total reduction. This smaller percentage drop at Low settings points to the CPU beginning to matter more, since the GPU is less loaded. However, even at Low 4K, the system still produces 164.5 FPS, which is far above typical display refresh rates.

The gap between Ultra and Low widens dramatically with resolution. At 1080p, Ultra delivers 156 FPS versus Low’s 251 FPS — a 95 FPS spread. At 4K, that spread grows to 113.8 FPS (50.7 vs 164.5). This widening gap confirms that Ultra settings impose a heavy GPU workload that scales with pixel count, while Low settings shift more of the burden onto the CPU. For a game released in 2010, the data suggests that modern hardware at 1080p is rarely stressed, but 4K Ultra turns this into a GPU-bound scenario where the RTX 4090’s raw power is fully utilized.

GPU Role

The RTX 4090’s role in Allods Online is defined by its massive memory pool and high clock speeds. With 24 GB of GDDR6X memory on a 384-bit bus, the card delivers 1.01 TB/s of bandwidth. That bandwidth is crucial at 4K Ultra, where the 50.7 FPS result indicates the card is working near its limits. The base clock of 2235 MHz and boost clock of 2520 MHz provide the computational throughput needed to sustain high frame rates at lower resolutions. The 16,384 shading units and 512 texture mapping units give the card enormous fill-rate potential — 443.5 GPixel/s pixel rate and 1,290.2 GTexel/s texture rate — which directly impacts how quickly it can render the game’s environments.

The measured FPS at 1080p Low (251 FPS) approaches the card’s practical ceiling in this title, likely constrained by the CPU’s ability to feed it draw calls. At 4K Ultra, the 50.7 FPS result is more than double the minimum playable threshold, but it shows that the card’s 82.58 TFLOPS of FP32 performance is being consumed by the game’s geometry and shading demands. The GPU’s 128 ray tracing cores and 512 tensor cores are present, but Allods Online’s age means these features likely see little use. The card’s 91st percentile ranking among all GPUs, based on an average benchmark score of 66,473, places it in the top tier of tested hardware, and the measured FPS reflects that standing.

The GPU’s nearest rivals in synthetic benchmarks are professional cards like the NVIDIA Tesla T4 (66,733 average score, -0.4% delta) and AMD Radeon Pro Vega 56 (67,097, -0.9% delta), but none of those are gaming-focused. The RTX 4090’s 24 GB frame buffer is overkill for a 2010 MMORPG, yet it ensures that no memory capacity limit ever caps performance, even at 4K with Ultra textures. The card’s 450 W TDP and triple-slot cooler are irrelevant to the FPS data, but they underscore that this is a high-power part designed for maximum throughput.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the combo delivers its strongest results. Low settings produce 251 FPS average, Medium 232.7, High 191.7, and Ultra 156. The drop from Low to Ultra is 95 FPS, or 37.8%. This resolution is clearly the sweet spot for high refresh rate displays, with even Ultra exceeding 144 FPS.

At 2560x1440, the averages are 215.7 FPS (Low), 199.8 (Medium), 155.8 (High), and 99.5 (Ultra). The gap between Medium and High is 44 FPS, while the gap between High and Ultra is 56.3 FPS. Ultra is the only setting below 144 FPS, making it less suitable for fast-paced play on 144Hz monitors.

At 3840x2160, the results are 164.5 FPS (Low), 127.8 (Medium), 83.5 (High), and 50.7 (Ultra). Low remains fluid, but Medium drops below 144 FPS, and High dips below 90 FPS. Ultra’s 50.7 FPS is still playable for a slow-paced MMORPG, but it falls short of the 60 FPS target. The delta between Low and Ultra at 4K is 113.8 FPS, the largest absolute gap across all resolutions.

The pattern across all resolutions is clear: Low settings always exceed 160 FPS, Medium always exceeds 127 FPS, High always exceeds 83 FPS, and Ultra always exceeds 50 FPS. No configuration in the dataset falls below 50 FPS, indicating that this combo never becomes unplayable in Allods Online, even under the heaviest load.

How This Combo Ranks

The combo ranks 108th out of 1,715 tested combinations, placing it in the top 6.3% of all systems. That rank is driven primarily by the RTX 4090’s dominance, since the GPU sits at the 91st percentile among all GPUs. The CPU, at the 82nd percentile, is slightly less exceptional but still well above average. The rank of 108 suggests that 107 other combos perform better, likely involving CPUs with higher single-thread scores or newer architectures.

The CPU’s nearest rivals in synthetic benchmarks include the Intel Core i7-13620H (average score 25,201, delta +0.1%), the AMD Ryzen 5 5600X3D (25,365, delta -0.5%), the AMD EPYC 9474F (25,103, delta +0.5%), and the AMD Ryzen AI 5 PRO 340 (25,099, delta +0.5%). These deltas are all within 0.5%, meaning the i5-13400F’s performance is statistically tied with these parts. None of those rivals are paired with an RTX 4090 in this dataset, so the ranking reflects the entire system, not just the CPU.

The GPU’s nearest rivals are professional cards with similar average scores: the NVIDIA Tesla T4 (66,733, delta -0.4%), NVIDIA Tesla P40 (66,127, delta +0.5%), AMD Radeon Pro Vega 56 (67,097, delta -0.9%), and NVIDIA Quadro P6000 (67,320, delta -1.3%). Those cards are not designed for gaming, so the RTX 4090’s real competition in this title is other high-end consumer GPUs, which are not listed in the immediate rival data. The rank of 108 out of 1,715 is strong but not top-tier, suggesting that a few faster CPUs or more optimized combos edge it out.

CPU Role

The Intel Core i5-13400F contributes meaningfully to Allods Online’s performance, particularly at lower resolutions and settings where the GPU is not saturated. With 10 cores (6 performance and 4 efficiency) and 16 threads, the CPU can handle the game’s multi-threaded workload, which is typical for an MMORPG with many players and entities on screen. The base clock of 2.50 GHz and boost clock of 4.60 GHz provide solid single-thread performance, as evidenced by the 3dmark single-thread score of 960 and the passmark single-thread score of 3,634.

The CPU’s 20 MB of shared L3 cache helps reduce memory latency, which is beneficial for a game that may have large world-state updates. The 82nd percentile ranking among all CPUs, with an average benchmark score of 25,236, places it just below the top fifth of processors. In Cinebench R23, the multicore score of 21,279 and single-core score of 3,004 show that the CPU is balanced, though not class-leading. The 3dmark scores tell a similar story: 7,314 for 16 threads, 5,591 for 8 threads, and 960 for single-thread.

At 1080p Low, the 251 FPS result likely approaches the CPU’s limit, as the GPU is barely stressed at those settings. The fact that 1080p Ultra still hits 156 FPS — only 61.6% of the Low score — suggests the CPU has enough headroom to avoid bottlenecking even when the GPU is more loaded. At 4K, the CPU’s role diminishes, as the GPU becomes the limiting factor. The CPU’s 65 W TDP and 10 nm process node (Raptor Lake-S architecture) make it a power-efficient choice, but that efficiency does not directly translate to higher FPS. The memory support for DDR4 and DDR5, with dual-channel bus, provides adequate bandwidth for the CPU’s needs. The lack of integrated graphics means the RTX 4090 handles all rendering, which is expected in this configuration.

The data shows that the CPU is never the primary bottleneck in this combo, except possibly at the lowest settings and resolution. Its 10 cores and 16 threads are sufficient for Allods Online’s engine, and the boost clock of 4.60 GHz ensures responsive gameplay in crowded areas. While the CPU’s synthetic benchmark scores are only 0.5% away from rivals like the AMD Ryzen 5 5600X3D, the real-world FPS results are more dependent on the GPU. Ultimately, the i5-13400F provides enough compute to let the RTX 4090 stretch its legs, but it does not add any unique advantage beyond that baseline capability.
