Allods Online

The Intel Core i5-14600K paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 delivers a robust experience in Allods Online, securing the 266th position out of 1,715 tested combos. This places the configuration in the top 15.5% of all systems benchmarked, a strong showing for a popular MMORPG that favors high frame rates. The combination of the 14-core, 20-thread Raptor Lake CPU and the Ada Lovelace GPU demonstrates a balanced profile, though the data reveals that the GPU becomes a significant constraint at the highest visual settings and resolutions.

How This Combo Ranks

The combo’s rank of 266 out of 1,715 tested configurations indicates that it outperforms the vast majority of systems in this specific title. This is a strong result, placing it well within the upper echelon of gaming rigs. The CPU itself sits in the 93rd percentile against all processors, with an average benchmark score of 49,166. Its nearest rival, the AMD Ryzen 9 5950X, posts a nearly identical average score of 49,062, a mere 0.2% difference, suggesting that the i5-14600K offers comparable compute muscle in broader workloads. The Intel Core i5-14600KF is marginally faster by 0.4%, while the AMD EPYC 4345P leads by 0.9%, and the Intel Xeon Gold 5318H trails by 1.0%. For gaming, these tiny deltas are negligible.

On the graphics side, the RTX 4070 holds the 81st percentile against all GPUs, with an average benchmark score of 37,283. Its closest competitor in the database, the AMD Radeon RX Vega 56, scores 37,507, which is 0.6% higher, placing the RTX 4070 in a virtual tie with that older card in aggregate synthetic tests. Other near rivals include the NVIDIA GeForce MX570 A (1.9% ahead) and the RTX 4080 Mobile (2.2% ahead), while the AMD Radeon RX 5300M trails by 2.5%. In the context of Allods Online, the measured FPS data suggests the combo’s high rank is driven by the CPU’s strong single-threaded performance, which is crucial for MMO logic, combined with a GPU capable of pushing high frame rates at mainstream settings.

Settings Recommendations

The benchmark data provides a clear hierarchy of performance across four preset levels. For a fluid experience at all tested resolutions, the High preset emerges as the optimal balance between visual fidelity and frame rate. At 1080p, High settings produce an average of 171.5 FPS, which is exceptionally smooth. Moving to 1440p, the average drops to 112.1 FPS, still comfortably above the 100 FPS threshold for high-refresh-rate displays. Even at 4K, the High preset maintains an average of 59.1 FPS, which is playable and close to the 60 FPS standard.

The Ultra preset is the most demanding, and the data shows a significant performance penalty. At 1080p, Ultra yields 111 FPS, which is a 35% reduction compared to High. At 1440p, this falls to 70.3 FPS, and at 4K, it plummets to 38.9 FPS, which is below the standard for a smooth experience. While Ultra may offer marginal visual improvements, the substantial frame rate cost makes it unsuitable for competitive or high-refresh-rate play. The Medium and Low presets offer higher frame rates but are not recommended as they sacrifice visual quality for performance that exceeds what most displays can show. For example, at 1440p, Medium achieves 174.6 FPS, but High’s 112.1 FPS is already beyond the refresh rate of most 1440p monitors. The recommended course is to use High settings and prioritize a high refresh rate, or to use Ultra only if a 60 FPS target at 1080p is acceptable.

Resolution Scaling

Analyzing the frame rate deltas from 1080p to 4K reveals the bottleneck characteristics of this combo. At High settings, the frame rate drops from 171.5 FPS at 1080p to 112.1 FPS at 1440p, a 34.6% reduction. From 1440p to 4K, the drop is more severe, falling from 112.1 FPS to 59.1 FPS, a 47.3% reduction. This non-linear scaling indicates that the GPU is becoming the primary limiting factor as resolution increases. The CPU’s strong single-threaded performance can feed frames rapidly at lower resolutions, but the RTX 4070’s rendering workload at 4K becomes the constraining element.

The pattern is even more pronounced at Ultra settings. The frame rate drops from 111 FPS at 1080p to 70.3 FPS at 1440p (a 36.7% reduction), and then to 38.9 FPS at 4K (a 44.7% reduction). The absolute numbers at 4K Ultra are low, reinforcing that this setting is not viable at that resolution. Conversely, at Low settings, the scaling is more linear, with 296.6 FPS at 1080p, 223.5 FPS at 1440p, and 118.5 FPS at 4K. The drop from 1080p to 1440p is 24.6%, and from 1440p to 4K is 47.0%. This suggests that at Low settings, the CPU can still keep up, and the GPU’s load is more consistent. The data indicates that the RTX 4070 is the limiting component at 4K, particularly at higher presets, while the i5-14600K provides ample headroom at lower resolutions.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The measured FPS data provides a comprehensive view of performance across all twelve tested combinations of resolution and settings.

At 1920x1080, the results are as follows: Low preset achieves an average of 296.6 FPS, Medium reaches 272.4 FPS, High delivers 171.5 FPS, and Ultra settles at 111 FPS. The gap between Medium and High is substantial, a 37% performance hit, which suggests that High enables more computationally expensive effects. The jump from High to Ultra is another 35% reduction, indicating that Ultra is a separate tier of graphical intensity.

At 2560x1440, the averages are: Low at 223.5 FPS, Medium at 174.6 FPS, High at 112.1 FPS, and Ultra at 70.3 FPS. Here, the scaling is consistent, with each preset step costing roughly 35-40% in frame rate. The 1440p High result of 112.1 FPS is a strong outcome, indicating this is the sweet spot for high-refresh-rate 1440p gaming.

At 3840x2160, the averages are: Low at 118.5 FPS, Medium at 90.4 FPS, High at 59.1 FPS, and Ultra at 38.9 FPS. The 4K data shows that even the Low preset cannot maintain a 120 FPS average, and the High preset just barely hits 60 FPS. The Ultra preset is clearly not intended for 4K gameplay with this hardware, falling below 40 FPS. The data confirms that this combo is best suited for 1080p and 1440p gaming, with 4K only viable at lower presets.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 is built on the 5nm Ada Lovelace architecture, with a chip designated AD104. It features 5,888 shading units, 184 texture mapping units, and 64 raster output units. The GPU is equipped with 46 ray tracing cores and 184 tensor cores, which are relevant for modern graphical effects. Its memory subsystem consists of 12 GB of GDDR6X memory on a 192-bit bus, providing a bandwidth of 504.2 GB/s. The memory clock is rated at 1313 MHz, translating to 21 Gbps effective. The base clock is 1920 MHz, with a boost clock of 2475 MHz.

These specifications directly influence the measured game performance. The 12 GB VRAM is sufficient for Allods Online at all tested settings and resolutions, as the game is not VRAM-hungry by modern standards. The memory bandwidth of 504.2 GB/s is ample for the texture and geometry data required at 4K. The compute capabilities, including FP32 performance of 29.15 TFLOPS, are more than enough to handle the game’s rendering pipeline. The GPU’s pixel rate of 158.4 GPixel/s and texture rate of 455.4 GTexel/s are high, but the 4K Ultra result of 38.9 FPS demonstrates that the shading and rasterization workload at that preset is substantial. The boost clock of 2475 MHz is a key factor in the performance at 1080p, where the GPU can operate at its maximum frequency more consistently. As resolution increases, the GPU becomes more fill-rate and bandwidth-limited, which explains the steep drop-off at 4K. The RTX 4070’s role is clearly that of a high-refresh-rate 1440p card, with 4K performance that is playable only on reduced settings.
