Allods Online

The Intel Core i5-14600KF paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 ranks 281st out of 1,715 tested combinations in Allods Online, placing this setup in the top 16.4% of all recorded system pairings for this MMORPG. This is a strong overall position, though the rank reflects a blend of CPU-driven and GPU-driven scenarios across the measured settings and resolutions. The combo’s standing is consistent with the individual hardware percentiles in the data pack: the CPU sits at the 93rd percentile versus all tested processors, while the GPU ranks at the 81st percentile versus all tested graphics cards. The gap between those two percentiles hints that the processor is the more dominant contributor to this combination’s classification, a pattern that becomes clearer when examining frame rates at lower resolutions.

How This Combo Ranks

The 281st rank out of 1,715 combos means this system outperforms roughly 83.6% of all tested pairings in Allods Online. That places it in the upper quintile, though not at the very top tier reserved for flagship CPUs paired with top-end GPUs. The CPU’s 93rd percentile standing is the strongest single component metric in this pairing; it exceeds the GPU’s 81st percentile by a meaningful margin. In practical terms, the processor is capable of feeding frames faster than the graphics card can render them at lower settings, which is why the low-preset scores at 1080p reach nearly 300 FPS. The combo rank likely reflects the GPU becoming the limiting factor at higher quality settings, especially at 4K, where the RTX 4070’s raw throughput caps performance well below what the CPU could theoretically support.

Compared to its nearest rivals in the CPU benchmark pool, the i5-14600KF sits in a tight cluster. It trails the AMD EPYC 4345P by 0.5% in average synthetic score, leads the Intel Core i5-14600K by 0.4%, and edges the AMD Ryzen 9 5950X by 0.6%. The Intel Xeon Gold 5318H is 1.4% behind. These sub-2% deltas indicate that in pure compute benchmarks, the i5-14600KF is interchangeable with several high-end desktop and server parts, none of which would dramatically shift the Allods Online ranking. For the GPU, the RTX 4070’s nearest rivals in the synthetic benchmark pool are the AMD Radeon RX Vega 56 (0.6% faster), the NVIDIA GeForce MX570 A (1.9% faster), and the RTX 4080 Mobile (2.2% faster), while the AMD Radeon RX 5300M trails by 2.5%. Those small deltas again suggest the measured FPS in Allods Online is more sensitive to the game’s engine and resolution than to small synthetic score differences.

Resolution Scaling

The measured FPS data shows a clear and predictable scaling pattern across the three tested resolutions. At 1920x1080 with Low settings, the average frame rate is 294.5 FPS. Moving to 2560x1440 at the same settings drops that to 224.6 FPS, a reduction of 23.7%. At 3840x2160 Low, the average falls further to 117.9 FPS, which is 47.5% lower than the 1440p result and 60% lower than the 1080p figure. This steep drop from 1440p to 4K indicates the GPU is becoming a significant constraint at higher pixel counts, even on the Low preset.

The scaling pattern becomes more pronounced at higher settings. With High settings, the system averages 172 FPS at 1080p, 107.7 FPS at 1440p (a 37.4% drop), and 59.2 FPS at 4K (a further 45% drop). The Ultra preset shows the most dramatic scaling: 108 FPS at 1080p, 69.5 FPS at 1440p (down 35.6%), and 38 FPS at 4K (down 45.3% from 1440p). Across all settings, the transition from 1080p to 1440p costs roughly 23-37% of performance, while the jump from 1440p to 4K costs an additional 40-50%. This pattern is typical of a GPU-bound workload at higher resolutions; the RTX 4070’s 504.2 GB/s memory bandwidth and 12 GB GDDR6X frame buffer are sufficient for 1080p and 1440p, but the 4K Ultra scenario exposes the card’s limits, pushing it to just 38 FPS.

The fact that Low settings at 4K still produce 117.9 FPS while Ultra at 1080p produces 108 FPS suggests that the game’s visual effects, rather than resolution alone, are the primary drivers of GPU load. The CPU can maintain high frame rates even at 4K when settings are lowered, which reinforces that the i5-14600KF is not the limiting component except in the lowest-quality, lowest-resolution scenarios.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the system delivers its best performance. Low settings yield 294.5 FPS average, Medium produces 270.3 FPS, High drops to 172 FPS, and Ultra settles at 108 FPS. The jump from Medium to High is steep, representing a 36.4% performance loss, which suggests High enables effects that disproportionately tax the GPU. The gap between High and Ultra is also large, with Ultra being 37.2% slower than High. This resolution is clearly CPU-friendly, as even the Ultra preset stays above 100 FPS, leaving headroom for the monitor’s refresh rate.

At 2560x1440, the same pattern holds but with lower absolute numbers. Low averages 224.6 FPS, Medium 175.7 FPS, High 107.7 FPS, and Ultra 69.5 FPS. The drop from Low to Medium is 21.8%, from Medium to High is 38.7%, and from High to Ultra is 35.5%. The Ultra result at 69.5 FPS is still playable, but it is only 64% of the 1080p Ultra figure, showing that resolution scaling affects the GPU more than the CPU. The 1440p High result of 107.7 FPS is nearly identical to the 1080p Ultra result of 108 FPS, indicating that the GPU’s workload at these two settings is similar.

At 3840x2160, the system’s performance degrades significantly. Low settings average 117.9 FPS, which is still smooth, but Medium drops to 90.2 FPS, High to 59.2 FPS, and Ultra to 38 FPS. The Ultra result is the only measured row below 60 FPS, making it unsuitable for high-refresh-rate displays. The progression from Low to Medium at 4K is a 23.5% loss, from Medium to High is 34.4%, and from High to Ultra is 35.8%. The 4K High result of 59.2 FPS is just shy of the 60 FPS target, while 4K Ultra falls 36.8% below that threshold.

CPU Role

The Intel Core i5-14600KF has 14 cores and 20 threads, with a base clock of 3.50 GHz and a boost clock of 5.30 GHz. Its L3 cache is 24 MB shared, and each core has 80 KB of L1 and 2 MB of L2. For an MMORPG like Allods Online, which relies on a mix of single-threaded game logic and multi-threaded asset streaming, this configuration is well-suited. The high boost clock of 5.30 GHz is particularly relevant for the game’s main thread, which often handles physics, AI, and network processing. The CPU’s Cinebench R23 scores of 32,889 multi-core and 4,643 single-core reflect a processor that excels in both parallel and single-threaded tasks, with the single-core result being crucial for maintaining high frame rates in CPU-bound scenarios.

The data supports this interpretation. At 1080p Low, the system hits 294.5 FPS, a figure that is almost certainly CPU-limited because the RTX 4070 is capable of much higher output in lighter scenes. The fact that 1080p Medium only drops to 270.3 FPS, while 4K Low still manages 117.9 FPS, suggests the CPU can feed frames quickly even when the GPU is under less load. The 20 threads allow the game to offload background tasks, such as texture decompression or network updates, without stalling the main render thread. The PassMark multi-thread score of 38,697 and the Geekbench multi-core score of 15,636 are consistent with a processor that handles concurrent workloads effectively.

However, the CPU’s role diminishes as resolution and settings increase. At 4K Ultra, the 38 FPS result is far below what the CPU could theoretically support, confirming that the GPU is the bottleneck there. The CPU’s 93rd percentile ranking versus all tested CPUs means it outperforms the overwhelming majority of processors in the database, and in this game, that strength is most visible at 1080p and 1440p with lower settings. The nearest rival, the i5-14600K, is only 0.4% slower on average, so swapping between those two parts would produce negligible FPS differences in Allods Online.

Settings Recommendations

For the best balance of visual quality and frame rate, the High preset at 2560x1440 is the recommended choice. It produces an average of 107.7 FPS, which is comfortably above 60 FPS and supports high-refresh-rate monitors up to 100 Hz. This setting is 36.4% faster than the 1440p Ultra preset (69.5 FPS) while delivering most of the visual enhancements, since the Ultra preset’s additional cost is not justified by its modest visual gains over High. At 1080p, the High preset’s 172 FPS is ideal for 144 Hz or 165 Hz displays, but the Medium preset’s 270.3 FPS offers diminishing returns unless the user has a 240 Hz panel.

For 4K users, the Low preset at 117.9 FPS is the only way to maintain high frame rates, but it sacrifices most visual fidelity. The Medium preset at 90.2 FPS is a reasonable compromise, offering better image quality while staying above 60 FPS. The High preset at 59.2 FPS is borderline, and the Ultra preset at 38 FPS is not recommended for gameplay. Given that the data shows a 34.4% performance drop from Medium to High at 4K, users with 4K displays should stick with Medium unless they prioritize visuals over smoothness.

At 1440p, the Low preset’s 224.6 FPS is excessive for most monitors, while the Medium preset’s 175.7 FPS is still very high. The High preset is the sweet spot for most users, as it balances the 107.7 FPS result with better shadows, textures, and effects. The Ultra preset’s 69.5 FPS is playable but offers a 35.5% performance penalty over High for marginal visual improvements. Overall, the data suggests that High settings at 1440p or 1080p provide the best experience, while 4K users should choose Medium to stay above 90 FPS.
