Allods Online

Allods Online is a 2010 MMORPG, and the benchmark data for this Intel Core i5-14400F and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 combination shows a system that is profoundly overqualified for the title, delivering exceptional frame rates across almost all settings and resolutions tested. The pairing of a 10-core Raptor Lake processor with an Ada Lovelace GPU produces a smooth experience that is rarely challenged, even at 4K Ultra settings, positioning this build in the upper echelon of tested hardware configurations.

How This Combo Ranks

Out of 1,715 tested combos for Allods Online, this specific pairing of the Intel Core i5-14400F and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 achieves a rank of 392. This places the system comfortably in the top quarter of all configurations, indicating that it is significantly more powerful than the vast majority of setups used to play the game. The data confirms that this is not a marginal performer; it is a high-end combination that sits well above the median experience.

While the raw performance is clearly high, the percentile rankings of the individual components provide context. The CPU is in the 88th percentile of all processors, and the GPU is in the 81st percentile of all graphics cards. The system's rank of 392 out of 1,715 reflects the synergy of these two above-average parts. The performance is so high that the game's engine, rather than the hardware, becomes the primary bottleneck at lower resolutions. This is evident in the measured FPS, where the gap between Low and Medium settings at 1080p is much smaller than the gap between Medium and High, suggesting a point of diminishing returns where the CPU's headroom is what carries the frame rate.

CPU Role

The Intel Core i5-14400F is a 10-core, 16-thread processor based on the Raptor Lake architecture, running on the Intel Socket 1700 platform. It has a base clock of 2.50 GHz and a boost clock of 4.70 GHz. For a game like Allods Online, which is an older MMORPG, single-threaded performance is often more critical than raw multi-core power for maintaining high frame rates, especially in crowded areas or during complex combat scenarios. The CPU's strong single-core benchmark scores—such as 3,093 in Cinebench R23 and 3,723 in Passmark—are directly relevant to the game's ability to process game logic and draw calls efficiently.

The data shows the CPU is a formidable partner for the RTX 4070. In the Passmark multithread test, the i5-14400F scores 25,783, and it achieves a Cinebench R23 multicore score of 21,914. These numbers place its average benchmark score of 32,508 nearly identical to its nearest rivals, including the Intel Core i7-12800H and the AMD Ryzen 5 PRO 7645, with a delta of 0% and 0.2%, respectively. This computational strength ensures that the GPU is fed with data without stalling, which is why the system can achieve frame rates exceeding 250 FPS at 1080p on Low settings. The CPU is not a limiting factor in this configuration; instead, it provides the necessary headroom to push the GPU to its limits, even in a game that is not graphically demanding by modern standards.

FAQ

Q: Is this system capable of running Allods Online at 4K resolution?

A: Yes, the data shows it is very capable. At 3840x2160 resolution, the combo achieves an average of 56.9 FPS on High settings and 37.4 FPS on Ultra. While Ultra is not perfectly smooth, dropping to High provides a playable 4K experience, and Medium settings push the average to 92.6 FPS.

Q: What is the best resolution for the highest possible frame rate?

A: The highest measured average frame rate is 256.7 FPS, which is achieved at 1920x1080 resolution with Low settings. This indicates that for competitive or maximum fluidity, 1080p is the target resolution.

Q: How does the i5-14400F compare to its closest rivals in synthetic benchmarks?

A: The CPU's average benchmark score is 32,508. This is virtually tied with the Intel Core i7-12800H (32,513) and AMD Ryzen 5 PRO 7645 (32,446), and it is slightly ahead of the AMD Ryzen 7 250 (32,584) and Intel Core i7-13705H (32,586) by 0.2%.

Q: What is the performance difference between High and Ultra settings at 1440p?

A: At 2560x1440, the High preset delivers an average of 109.3 FPS, while the Ultra preset delivers 70.5 FPS. This represents a significant 38.8 FPS drop in average frame rate for the visual upgrade that Ultra provides.

Q: Does the RTX 4070 perform well relative to other GPUs in this benchmark suite?

A: The GPU sits in the 81st percentile of all graphics cards. Its average benchmark score is 37,283, which puts it in a close comparison with the AMD Radeon RX Vega 56, which scores 37,507 and is only 0.6% ahead.

Q: Is the Ultra preset playable at any resolution?

A: Yes, but it is only recommended for 1080p and 1440p. At 1920x1080, Ultra yields an average of 110.2 FPS, and at 2560x1440, it yields 70.5 FPS. At 4K, the Ultra preset drops to 37.4 FPS, which is likely to feel less fluid.

Settings Recommendations

The measured FPS data indicates that the Ultra preset is the most demanding and provides a mixed experience depending on resolution. At 1080p, Ultra is fully playable with an average of 110.2 FPS. At 1440p, it remains acceptable with 70.5 FPS. However, at 4K, the Ultra preset's 37.4 FPS average falls below the standard for smooth gameplay.

For the best balance of visual quality and performance, the High preset is the clear recommendation for 4K displays, as it nearly doubles the frame rate of Ultra, jumping from 37.4 to 56.9 FPS. For users with 1440p monitors who prioritize a high refresh rate, the Medium preset offers an excellent 172.3 FPS average, which is a substantial jump from High's 109.3 FPS. At 1080p, the Medium preset provides an outstanding 234.8 FPS, making it the best choice for high-refresh-rate monitors without sacrificing too much visual fidelity. The Low preset is only necessary for achieving the absolute maximum frame rates, reaching 256.7 FPS at 1080p, but the visual compromise is substantial.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The benchmark results show a clear and predictable scaling of performance across resolutions and settings. The system's capability is best summarized by the average FPS figures.

At 1920x1080, the combo is massively overpowered. The Low setting produces an average of 256.7 FPS. Moving to Medium yields 234.8 FPS, a small drop, while High still delivers a very high 174.9 FPS. The Ultra setting, while the most demanding, still manages an average of 110.2 FPS, which is well above the threshold for a smooth experience.

At 2560x1440, the performance remains exceptionally high. The Low setting averages 219.9 FPS. The Medium setting provides 172.3 FPS, and High drops to 109.3 FPS, which is still a very strong result. The Ultra setting averages 70.5 FPS, which is playable but shows a more significant performance cost compared to the lower presets.

At 3840x2160, the GPU begins to show its limits. The Low setting is still very fast, averaging 118.1 FPS. Medium is also solid at 92.6 FPS. The High setting averages 56.9 FPS, which is on the edge of smoothness for some users. The Ultra setting is the only configuration that struggles, with an average of 37.4 FPS, indicating that this preset is not recommended for 4K gaming with this hardware. The scaling from 1440p to 4K at Ultra shows a 47% reduction in frame rate, from 70.5 to 37.4 FPS, highlighting the immense pixel-pushing demands of 4K resolution on the RTX 4070.
