Allods Online

The Intel Core i7-12700K paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 delivers a wide spread of frame rates in Allods Online depending on resolution and settings, with the data showing a clear transition from CPU-bound performance at lower resolutions to GPU-bound behavior at 4K Ultra. This combination ranks 229th out of 1715 tested combos for this game, placing it in the top 13.4% of all configurations. The measured results cover twelve distinct scenarios, spanning three resolutions and four quality presets, providing a comprehensive view of how this hardware handles the 2010-released MMORPG.

Resolution Scaling

The frame rate progression from 1920x1080 to 3840x2160 reveals how the workload shifts between components. At 1080p Low, the combo produces 279.8 FPS, while at 4K Low it drops to 127 FPS — a reduction of 54.6% when pixel count quadruples. This relatively modest drop for a fourfold resolution increase indicates that at Low settings, the system is not purely GPU-limited even at 4K. The CPU's 12 cores and 20 threads, boosted by a 5.00 GHz maximum clock, appear capable of feeding the GPU adequately at lower quality presets.

The scaling behavior changes dramatically at Ultra settings. At 1080p Ultra, the average is 119.9 FPS, which falls to 72.3 FPS at 1440p and then to 38.4 FPS at 4K. The jump from 1440p to 4K Ultra represents a 46.9% performance loss, which is steeper than the resolution scaling alone would predict, suggesting that the RTX 5070's 12 GB of GDDR7 memory and 672.0 GB/s bandwidth become increasingly stressed at higher resolutions and quality settings. The GPU's 30.87 TFLOPS FP32 throughput and 482.3 GTexel/s texture rate are substantial, yet the data indicates that Ultra settings at 4K push the graphics processor to its limits.

Medium settings show intermediate scaling. From 253.3 FPS at 1080p, the frame rate drops to 185.6 FPS at 1440p (a 26.7% reduction) and then to 95.3 FPS at 4K (a 48.7% drop from 1440p). This pattern suggests that Medium settings represent a balanced load where both the CPU and GPU contribute significantly to overall performance. The 1080p to 1440p transition at Medium shows only a 26.7% loss despite a 78% increase in pixel count, indicating that the CPU is still a limiting factor at 1440p Medium. At 4K Medium, however, the GPU becomes the primary constraint.

High settings follow a similar trajectory: 187.4 FPS at 1080p, 117.4 FPS at 1440p (37.3% lower), and 63.4 FPS at 4K (46.0% lower than 1440p). The diminishing returns from 1440p to 4K across all settings point to the RTX 5070's memory interface — a 192-bit bus with 12 GB capacity — as a potential factor in the 4K performance envelope, though the data does not isolate memory capacity versus bandwidth effects.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 operates with a base clock of 2325 MHz and a boost clock of 2512 MHz, built on the Blackwell 2.0 architecture with a 5 nm process from TSMC. The chip, designated GB205, contains 31,100 million transistors across a 263 mm² die, yielding a transistor density of 118.3M per mm². At 4K Ultra, the card produces only 38.4 FPS, which is the lowest measured result in the entire dataset. This represents a 67.9% drop from the 4K Low result of 127 FPS, highlighting how dramatically quality settings impact the GPU workload.

The GPU's 6144 shading units, 192 texture mapping units, and 80 ROPs provide the raw compute for rendering. The 48 RT cores and 192 tensor cores are present but their specific impact on Allods Online cannot be quantified from the data, as the game predates widespread ray tracing adoption. The memory subsystem — 12 GB of GDDR7 on a 192-bit bus with 672.0 GB/s bandwidth — appears sufficient for 1080p and 1440p across all settings, but the 4K Ultra result of 38.4 FPS suggests the GPU is saturated at that configuration.

Comparing the RTX 5070 to its nearest rivals in the database, the average benchmark score of 41687 places it 0.2% above the AMD Radeon Pro 5300 (41610 score) and 0.6% above the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3090 (41441 score). It trails the NVIDIA Tesla M40 by 0.5% (41897 score) and the AMD Radeon Pro 580X by 0.7% (41991 score). These deltas are minimal, indicating that in synthetic benchmarks, the RTX 5070 performs nearly identically to these four competitors. However, the 83rd percentile ranking among all GPUs shows that while it is a strong performer, it is not at the absolute top tier.

The GPU's pixel rate of 201.0 GPixel/s and fill rates contribute to its 4K performance. At 4K High, the 63.4 FPS result suggests the card can handle high-quality rendering at that resolution for this MMORPG, but Ultra settings push it below 40 FPS. The 12 GB memory capacity becomes relevant at 4K Ultra, where the combination of higher-resolution textures and effects likely consumes more memory bandwidth. The data shows a clear correlation between settings complexity and frame rate degradation, with each step from Low to Medium to High to Ultra at 4K costing 31.7, 32.0, and 24.9 FPS respectively. The smaller drop from High to Ultra (24.9 FPS) compared to Medium to High (32.0 FPS) suggests that the Ultra preset's additional demands are less impactful than the Medium to High transition, possibly due to diminishing returns in certain rendering features.

CPU Role

The Intel Core i7-12700K brings 12 cores and 20 threads to the pairing, with a base clock of 3.60 GHz and a boost of 5.00 GHz. The Alder Lake architecture uses a 10 nm process with a 215 mm² die, and the processor supports both DDR4 and DDR5 memory through a dual-channel interface. The 25 MB shared L3 cache and per-core L1 (80 KB) and L2 (1.25 MB) caches provide ample capacity for game data. The 89th percentile ranking among all CPUs reflects its strong multi-threaded capabilities, with a Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 29241 and a single-core score of 4128.

At 1080p Low, the combination achieves 279.8 FPS, which is the highest measured result in the dataset. The jump from 1080p Low to 1080p Medium (253.3 FPS) costs only 26.5 FPS, while the jump from Medium to High (187.4 FPS) costs 65.9 FPS — a much larger penalty. This pattern indicates that the CPU can sustain very high frame rates at Low and Medium settings, but High and Ultra settings introduce enough GPU work that the RTX 5070 becomes the limiting factor even at 1080p. The 1080p Ultra result of 119.9 FPS is 56.5% lower than the 1080p Low figure, demonstrating that quality settings have a profound impact regardless of resolution.

The CPU's benchmark scores reveal its capabilities relative to rivals. The average benchmark score of 35684 is 0.3% below the AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 5845 (35802 score) and 0.7% below the Intel Core i5-14500HX (35940 score). It outperforms the Intel Core i7-13700T by 0.6% (35468 score) and the Intel Core i7-13800H by 0.8% (35416 score). These negligible deltas suggest that the i7-12700K is competitive with these four processors in general benchmarks, though the specific gaming workload of Allods Online may favor certain architectural traits.

The single-threaded performance, measured at 1043 in 3DMark single-thread and 4013 in PassMark single-thread, is critical for an MMORPG where game logic and draw calls often rely on one or two cores. The 3DMark 16-thread score of 9276 versus the max-thread score of 9979 shows that the processor scales well with additional threads, but the 2-thread score of 2065 suggests that even lightly threaded workloads are handled efficiently. The PassMark physics score of 1790 indicates moderate computational throughput for game physics, which could affect gameplay in crowded areas of Allods Online.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the data shows a consistent progression across settings. Low produces 279.8 FPS, Medium 253.3 FPS, High 187.4 FPS, and Ultra 119.9 FPS. The gap between Low and Medium (26.5 FPS) is modest, but the drop from Medium to High (65.9 FPS) and High to Ultra (67.5 FPS) are substantial. These results indicate that at 1080p, the RTX 5070 has sufficient headroom to exceed 250 FPS at lower settings, but the CPU may begin to limit at the very highest frame rates. The 279.8 FPS at Low is close to what a 12-core, 20-thread processor can sustain for this game, suggesting that the CPU is the primary bottleneck at that specific configuration.

At 2560x1440, the results are 241.1 FPS (Low), 185.6 FPS (Medium), 117.4 FPS (High), and 72.3 FPS (Ultra). The transition from 1080p to 1440p costs 38.7 FPS at Low (13.8% reduction), 67.7 FPS at Medium (26.7% reduction), 70.0 FPS at High (37.3% reduction), and 47.6 FPS at Ultra (39.7% reduction). The percentage losses increase with quality settings, confirming that the GPU becomes more dominant as both resolution and settings rise. The 1440p Ultra result of 72.3 FPS remains playable, but it represents a 74.2% drop from the 1440p Low figure.

At 3840x2160, the results compress significantly: 127 FPS (Low), 95.3 FPS (Medium), 63.4 FPS (High), and 38.4 FPS (Ultra). The 4K Low to 4K Medium drop is 31.7 FPS, Medium to High is 32.0 FPS, and High to Ultra is 24.9 FPS. The total range from 4K Low to 4K Ultra is 88.6 FPS, which is narrower than the 159.9 FPS range at 1080p. This compression at 4K indicates that the GPU is the overwhelming bottleneck at that resolution, with the CPU's influence diminishing. The 4K Ultra result of 38.4 FPS is below the 40 FPS threshold that some players consider the minimum for smooth gameplay, while 4K High at 63.4 FPS provides a more comfortable experience.

How This Combo Ranks

The combo rank of 229 out of 1715 tested configurations places this pairing in the 86.6th percentile of all tested combos for Allods Online. This means that roughly 86.6% of the 1715 tested combinations perform at or below this level, while 13.4% achieve higher frame rates. The ranking reflects the balanced nature of the i7-12700K and RTX 5070 pairing, which delivers strong performance across all tested resolutions but does not reach the very top tier of configurations.

The CPU's 89th percentile ranking among all processors is higher than the GPU's 83rd percentile ranking among all GPUs, suggesting that the processor is relatively stronger in the synthetic benchmark suite than the graphics card is in its own benchmark category. However, in-game performance depends on the specific workload of Allods Online, which may favor the CPU's strong single-threaded performance given the game's age and MMORPG nature. The 1080p Low result of 279.8 FPS demonstrates that the combo can deliver very high frame rates when the GPU is not heavily taxed, which is consistent with a CPU that can push frame rates beyond what most displays can show.
