Allods Online

The Intel Core i7-12700KF is a 12-core, 20-thread desktop processor based on the Alder Lake architecture, with a base clock of 3.60 GHz and a boost clock of 5.00 GHz. In Allods Online, a 2010 MMORPG, this CPU provides substantial headroom for the game's logic and world simulation. The benchmark data shows that at 1080p with Low settings, the combo achieves 195.9 FPS, which is more than double the 94.5 FPS seen at High settings; this scaling indicates that the CPU is not the primary bottleneck at lower graphical loads. The processor's single-thread performance, evidenced by a 3DMark single-thread score of 1043 and a Cinebench R23 single-core score of 4091, is strong enough to handle the game's primary thread efficiently. Multi-threaded scores, such as the Cinebench R23 multi-core result of 28979, suggest that background tasks and game server communication will not cause stutter. The CPU's 25 MB of shared L3 cache likely helps with repeated asset access common in MMORPG environments. With an average benchmark score of 35355, this CPU sits in the 89th percentile versus all CPUs, placing it near the Intel Core i7-13800H, which is 0.2% ahead in average score, and the Intel Core i5-14400, which is 0.1% behind; these rivals are effectively tied in raw compute. For Allods Online, the core count and high boost clock ensure that even in crowded player hubs, the processor will maintain a stable frame delivery, as the measured FPS drops are more closely tied to GPU settings than CPU limits.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060, built on the Turing architecture, features 6 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 192-bit bus, delivering 336.0 GB/s of bandwidth. Its base clock is 1365 MHz with a boost clock of 1680 MHz, and it has 1920 shading units. In Allods Online, the GPU's role becomes evident when comparing settings at the same resolution: at 1440p, moving from Low (125.8 FPS) to High (58.8 FPS) cuts performance by more than half, demonstrating how the GPU handles the increased shading and texture work. The 6 GB VRAM capacity is sufficient for the game's 2010-era assets, as even at 4K Ultra the bottleneck is more about compute throughput than memory capacity; the 22 FPS result at 4K Ultra is far below playable, indicating the GPU's raw fill rate is the limiting factor. The GPU's PassMark G3D score of 14111 puts it in the 58th percentile versus all GPUs, with an average benchmark score of 16074. Its nearest rival, the AMD Radeon RX 7600S, scores 15996, a 0.5% difference, while the AMD Radeon Pro 5700 scores 16351, a 1.7% lead; this shows the RTX 2060 is positioned in a tight performance band. The DirectX 12 PassMark score of 53 and DirectX 11 score of 110 indicate that the GPU handles modern APIs adequately, but for Allods Online, which predates these APIs, the driver overhead is minimal. The 160 W TDP and 450 W suggested PSU are irrelevant to in-game performance, but the GPU's 6 GB VRAM becomes a potential concern if future updates add higher-resolution textures; current data shows no VRAM-related FPS anomalies, as the scaling from 1080p to 4K follows a predictable pattern.

Resolution Scaling

The measured FPS data reveals a clear scaling pattern across resolutions. At High settings, the combo produces 94.5 FPS at 1080p, 58.8 FPS at 1440p, and 31.6 FPS at 4K. This represents a 37.8% drop from 1080p to 1440p, and a further 46.3% drop from 1440p to 4K, indicating that the GPU is the primary scaling bottleneck as pixel count increases. At Low settings, the pattern is steeper: 195.9 FPS at 1080p drops to 125.8 FPS at 1440p (a 35.8% reduction) and then to 66 FPS at 4K (a 47.5% reduction from 1440p). The fact that Low settings at 4K (66 FPS) still exceeds High settings at 1080p (94.5 FPS) is inverted—actually, 66 FPS is lower than 94.5 FPS, so the data shows that resolution has a larger impact than quality settings. The limiting component shifts with resolution: at 1080p Low, the CPU is likely the ceiling, as the FPS of 195.9 is high enough to stress the game's main thread; at 4K Ultra, the GPU is clearly the limiter, with 22 FPS indicating it cannot handle the pixel fill rate. Medium settings show a similar trend: 153.9 FPS at 1080p, 97.6 FPS at 1440p, and 50.4 FPS at 4K, with the 4K result being just above the threshold for smooth play but still far from the 1080p performance. The data suggests that for consistent 60+ FPS, 1440p is the maximum resolution with Medium settings, as High at 1440p (58.8 FPS) falls just short of that mark, while 4K requires Low settings to achieve 66 FPS.

Settings Recommendations

The measured rows provide a clear hierarchy for optimal settings in Allods Online. At 1080p, Ultra settings yield 64.2 FPS, which is playable but not ideal for fast-paced combat; High settings at 94.5 FPS offer a better balance, while Medium at 153.9 FPS is smooth and Low at 195.9 FPS is excess headroom. For a 60 Hz display at 1080p, High is the recommended preset, as it delivers 94.5 FPS with a 34% margin above 60 FPS, ensuring minimal frame drops. At 1440p, the situation changes: High settings produce 58.8 FPS, which is below the 60 FPS target, while Medium at 97.6 FPS provides a comfortable buffer. Therefore, Medium is the best choice for 1440p, as it maintains fluidity without the visual degradation of Low, which still runs at 125.8 FPS. At 4K, no preset except Low reaches 60 FPS; Low gives 66 FPS, while Medium drops to 50.4 FPS and High to 31.6 FPS. For a 4K display, Low is the only viable option for a playable experience, but the visual quality reduction is significant; alternatively, users could consider a lower internal resolution. The Ultra preset is generally not recommended at any resolution above 1080p, as it yields 38.8 FPS at 1440p and 22 FPS at 4K, both of which are below the threshold for smooth gameplay. The data indicates that Medium at 1440p (97.6 FPS) offers the best combination of visual fidelity and performance, as it exceeds 60 FPS by a wide margin while keeping settings above Low.

How This Combo Ranks

This specific combination of the Intel Core i7-12700KF and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 ranks 1389 out of 1715 tested combos in Allods Online. This places it in the bottom 19% of all tested configurations, which is a low rank for a system with a high-end CPU and a mid-range GPU. The rank suggests that the game's performance is heavily influenced by the GPU, as the CPU is in the 89th percentile of all processors, while the GPU is only in the 58th percentile. The combo's performance is consistent with the GPU being the limiting factor, as evidenced by the resolution scaling data. Compared to other combos, this rank indicates that many systems with weaker CPUs but stronger GPUs would outperform this pairing in Allods Online. The 1715 total combos tested mean that this configuration sits in the lower quartile, which is surprising given the CPU's strength. This is likely because the game, being an MMORPG from 2010, does not fully utilize the CPU's multi-threading capabilities, and the GPU's 6 GB VRAM and 192-bit bus are modest by modern standards. The rank of 1389 implies that there are 326 combos that perform worse, but the vast majority (1388) perform better. For a user with this hardware, the data indicates that the GPU is the component to upgrade for better Allods Online performance, as the CPU has significant headroom. The measured FPS values, such as 94.5 FPS at 1080p High, are respectable, but the rank shows that many other GPU/CPU pairings achieve higher frame rates, particularly those with more powerful GPUs.
