Allods Online

Allods Online, a 2010 MMORPG, was tested with an Intel Core i5-9400 and an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5080. The measured FPS data covers four presets across three resolutions, and the combo ranks 740th out of 1715 tested combinations. The CPU sits at the 50th percentile among all tested CPUs, while the GPU reaches the 89th percentile, a gap that becomes evident in the frame rate scaling.

Resolution Scaling

The frame rate behavior across resolutions reveals where the system’s limits lie. At Low settings, the average FPS moves from 168.2 at 1080p to 142 at 1440p and 115.4 at 4K. That is a steady decline, but the 4K figure still exceeds 100 FPS, indicating the GPU has ample headroom at this preset. At Medium, the numbers are 153.3 (1080p), 133.2 (1440p), and 103.6 (4K). The drop from 1080p to 4K is 49.7 FPS, but the 4K average remains playable.

High settings show a more pronounced scaling: 128.2 at 1080p, 109 at 1440p, and 75.5 at 4K. The 4K result is still above 60 FPS, but the gap between 1080p and 4K is now 52.7 FPS. Ultra settings expose the largest sensitivity to resolution: 109.9 at 1080p, 95 at 1440p, and only 49.2 at 4K. The 4K Ultra average falls below 60 FPS, a clear sign that the GPU is heavily loaded at this preset. The pattern suggests that at lower settings the CPU can keep up, but at Ultra and high resolution the GPU becomes the primary constraint. The i5-9400’s six cores and six threads, with a boost clock of 4.10 GHz, appear sufficient for the game’s CPU demands at 1080p, but the RTX 5080’s raw power is what drives the higher-resolution results.

How This Combo Ranks

The combo’s rank of 740 out of 1715 places it in the lower-middle of the tested field. Given that the GPU alone ranks in the 89th percentile, the overall position is dragged down by the CPU. The i5-9400’s average benchmark score is 2305, which is nearly identical to its nearest rivals: the Intel Core i3-10305 (2300, 0.2% faster), the Intel Core i3-1125G4 (2299, 0.2% faster), and the Intel Xeon E-2134 (2295, 0.4% faster). The only rival that beats it by more than half a percent is the Intel Core i7-8809G (2319, -0.6% relative to the i5). This cluster of scores confirms that the i5-9400 is a mid-range part, not a top-tier performer.

On the GPU side, the RTX 5080’s average benchmark score is 59188. Its nearest rivals include the Intel Arc A570M (58239, 1.6% slower), the Intel Arc Pro A60 (60326, 1.9% faster), the Intel Arc A580 (57756, 2.5% slower), and the AMD Radeon Pro W5500X (57661, 2.6% slower). The GPU is clearly a high-end component, but the combo’s overall rank shows that pairing it with a six-core Coffee Lake CPU does not fully exploit its potential. In a game like Allods Online, which is not particularly demanding by modern standards, the CPU still imposes a ceiling on frame rates, especially at lower resolutions where the GPU is not the bottleneck.

GPU Role

The RTX 5080 brings 16 GB of GDDR7 memory on a 256-bit bus, with a bandwidth of 960.0 GB/s. Its base clock is 2295 MHz and boost clock is 2617 MHz. These specifications are far beyond what a 2010 MMORPG would need, yet the measured frame rates at 4K Ultra drop to 49.2 FPS. This suggests that the GPU’s compute resources, not its memory capacity or bandwidth, are the limiting factor at that preset. The GPU’s Passmark G3D score of 36565 and 3DMark Steel Nomad score of 8637 reflect its high-end standing, but the game’s engine appears to scale poorly with the GPU’s raw throughput at Ultra settings.

The GPU’s launch MSRP is 999 USD. That price point places it in the enthusiast tier, and the data shows that in this combo it delivers 75.5 FPS at 4K High, which is a solid result for a modern title. However, the CPU’s lower performance means that at 1080p Low the frame rate reaches 168.2 FPS, a number that is likely CPU-bound rather than GPU-bound. The GPU’s 16 GB frame buffer is more than sufficient for Allods Online, and the 960.0 GB/s bandwidth ensures no memory-related stalls, but the game’s engine does not appear to leverage these resources fully.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The following table lists all measured average FPS values from the data.

| Resolution | Settings | Avg FPS |

|------------|----------|---------|

| 3840x2160 | High | 75.5 |

| 3840x2160 | Low | 115.4 |

| 3840x2160 | Medium | 103.6 |

| 3840x2160 | Ultra | 49.2 |

| 2560x1440 | High | 109 |

| 2560x1440 | Low | 142 |

| 2560x1440 | Medium | 133.2 |

| 2560x1440 | Ultra | 95 |

| 1920x1080 | High | 128.2 |

| 1920x1080 | Low | 168.2 |

| 1920x1080 | Medium | 153.3 |

| 1920x1080 | Ultra | 109.9 |

At 1080p, every preset exceeds 100 FPS, with Low reaching 168.2 and Ultra still at 109.9. At 1440p, Ultra drops to 95 FPS, but all other presets remain above 100. At 4K, only Ultra falls below 60 FPS; High, Medium, and Low all stay above 75 FPS. The data shows a clear trend: the gap between Low and Ultra widens as resolution increases, with the 4K Ultra result being 66.2 FPS lower than the 4K Low result.

FAQ

Q: What is the best resolution for this combo to maintain 60 FPS?

A: At 4K, High (75.5 FPS), Medium (103.6 FPS), and Low (115.4 FPS) all exceed 60 FPS. Ultra at 4K is only 49.2 FPS, so High is the recommended preset for 4K. At 1440p and 1080p, all presets including Ultra stay above 95 FPS.

Q: How does this combo compare to other tested combinations?

A: It ranks 740th out of 1715 combos, placing it in the 43rd percentile (calculated from rank and total). The GPU alone is in the 89th percentile, while the CPU is in the 50th percentile, indicating the CPU is the weaker link.

Q: Is the RTX 5080’s 16 GB VRAM sufficient for Allods Online?

A: Yes. The game is from 2010 and does not require large frame buffers. The 16 GB GDDR7 memory with 960.0 GB/s bandwidth is far more than needed, and the measured frame rates are not limited by VRAM capacity.

Q: What is the launch MSRP of the RTX 5080?

A: The launch MSRP is 999 USD.

Q: Which preset gives the highest frame rate at 1080p?

A: Low settings produce the highest average FPS at 168.2, followed by Medium at 153.3, High at 128.2, and Ultra at 109.9.

Q: Does the CPU or GPU have a larger impact on performance in this game?

A: The data shows that at 4K Ultra, the GPU is the bottleneck (49.2 FPS), but at 1080p Low, the CPU likely limits the frame rate to 168.2 FPS. The CPU’s average benchmark score of 2305 is near that of several i3 and Xeon parts, while the GPU’s score of 59188 is near that of higher-end Arc and Radeon Pro cards, so the GPU has more headroom.

Settings Recommendations

For the best experience, the preset choice depends on the target resolution and frame rate. At 1080p, Ultra is perfectly playable at 109.9 FPS, and there is no need to drop below High unless chasing maximum refresh rates. At 1440p, Ultra delivers 95 FPS, which is still smooth, and High gives 109 FPS for extra margin. At 4K, Ultra is not recommended because it drops to 49.2 FPS, below the 60 FPS threshold. High at 4K provides 75.5 FPS, which is a good balance of visual quality and smoothness. Medium at 4K reaches 103.6 FPS, offering even more headroom if the user prefers higher frame rates over detail. Low settings at 4K yield 115.4 FPS, but the visual trade-off is likely not worth it given that High already performs well. In summary, use Ultra for 1080p and 1440p, and High for 4K. This combination leverages the GPU’s power while keeping frame rates above 60 FPS at all resolutions.
