Allods Online

The Intel Core i7-12700KF paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 produces a wide spread of frame rates in Allods Online, depending on resolution and quality preset. Measured data shows the combo moving from 278.6 FPS at 1080p Low down to 32.5 FPS at 4K Ultra, a range that reveals how the workload shifts between CPU and GPU limits. This analysis walks through the resolution scaling, component roles, and settings behavior using only the measured rows.

Resolution Scaling

The measured FPS rows show a clear pattern of degradation as resolution climbs. At 1920x1080 with Low settings, the combo delivers 278.6 FPS, which is the highest figure in the entire dataset. Moving to 2560x1440 Low drops this to 180.6 FPS, a reduction of 98 FPS, and at 3840x2160 Low the average falls to 93.6 FPS. The scaling from 1080p to 4K at Low settings is roughly a threefold reduction in frame rate, which suggests the GPU becomes the primary limiting factor at higher pixel counts.

For Medium settings, the same trend holds but with lower absolute numbers. At 1080p Medium, the combo produces 229.7 FPS, while 1440p Medium yields 142 FPS, and 4K Medium drops to 74.5 FPS. The gap between 1080p and 1440p Medium is 87.7 FPS, while the gap between 1440p and 4K Medium is 67.5 FPS, indicating a fairly consistent per-step decline. High settings follow a similar trajectory: 142.7 FPS at 1080p, 89.2 FPS at 1440p, and 48.4 FPS at 4K. The Ultra preset shows the steepest scaling, with 90.2 FPS at 1080p falling to 58.7 FPS at 1440p and then to 32.5 FPS at 4K.

The data indicates that at 1080p, even the High preset stays above 140 FPS, which implies the CPU and GPU together are sufficient to keep the frame rate high. At 4K, however, every preset drops significantly, with Ultra falling below 33 FPS, which is likely too low for smooth gameplay in an MMORPG. The scaling pattern suggests that the RTX 3070’s 8 GB GDDR6 memory and 448.0 GB/s bandwidth become stressed at higher resolutions, particularly with Ultra settings that likely increase texture and shader complexity. The measured FPS at 4K Ultra being less than half of the 1080p Ultra figure (32.5 vs 90.2) points to a GPU-bound scenario where the rendering load outpaces the hardware.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 operates with a base clock of 1500 MHz and a boost clock of 1725 MHz, built on the GA104 chip with an 8 nm process from Samsung. Its memory configuration includes 8 GB of GDDR6 on a 256-bit bus, yielding 448.0 GB/s of bandwidth. In Allods Online, the GPU’s role is evident from the resolution scaling data. At 1080p Low, the frame rate of 278.6 FPS suggests the GPU is not the bottleneck, as the CPU can feed frames quickly. However, as resolution increases to 4K, the pixel fill rate and texture throughput demands grow, and the RTX 3070’s 96 ROPs and 184 TMUs must work harder.

The GPU’s benchmark scores provide context for its capability. In 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12, it scores 3162, while PassMark G3D gives 22214 and Geekbench OpenCL reports 123479. The percentile vs all GPUs is 72, meaning it outperforms 72% of tested graphics cards. Compared to its nearest rivals, the RTX 3070 sits close to the AMD Radeon RX 6600 XT, which has an average score of 27985 versus the RTX 3070’s 28238, a deltaPct of 0.9. The NVIDIA GeForce GTX 980 Ti trails at 27956, with a deltaPct of 1.0, while the AMD FirePro S7150 is slightly ahead at 28409, with a deltaPct of -0.6. These figures indicate the RTX 3070 is a mid-to-high tier card, but Allods Online’s 4K Ultra results show its limits.

The measured FPS at 4K High is 48.4, which is playable but not smooth, while 4K Ultra drops to 32.5, which is below the 60 FPS threshold most gamers prefer. The GPU’s VRAM of 8 GB may also be a factor, as higher settings at 4K can exceed this capacity, leading to texture swapping and reduced performance. The data does not include VRAM usage, but the FPS drop from Medium (74.5) to High (48.4) at 4K suggests a significant increase in memory and compute load. The RTX 3070’s 17,400 million transistors and 20.31 TFLOPS FP32 performance are substantial, yet the 4K Ultra result of 32.5 FPS indicates that Allods Online at maximum settings is simply too demanding for this GPU at that resolution.

CPU Role

The Intel Core i7-12700KF brings 12 cores and 20 threads, with a base clock of 3.60 GHz and a boost clock of 5.00 GHz. Its architecture is Alder Lake-S, built on a 10 nm process, with 25 MB of shared L3 cache and 1.25 MB L2 per core. In Allods Online, an MMORPG that often has many on-screen characters and effects, the CPU’s single-thread and multi-thread performance matter. The CPU’s benchmark results show strong numbers: Cinebench R23 multicore scores 28979, singlecore 4091, and Geekbench multicore hits 13596 with singlecore at 2526. PassMark multithread is 34092, and single thread is 3984.

The CPU’s role in this combo becomes apparent when looking at 1080p results. At 1080p Low, the combo produces 278.6 FPS, which is high enough that the GPU is likely not the limiting factor. At 1080p Ultra, the frame rate drops to 90.2 FPS, but this is still far above the 4K Ultra figure of 32.5 FPS. The CPU’s 3DMark scores, such as 9282 for 16 threads and 9983 for max threads, indicate it can handle heavy multi-threaded workloads, which is beneficial for an MMORPG with many simultaneous actions.

The CPU’s percentile vs all CPUs is 89, placing it in the top 11% of tested processors. Its nearest rivals show how tightly packed performance is: the Intel Core i5-14400 has an average score of 35336 versus the i7-12700KF’s 35355, a deltaPct of 0.1. The Intel Core i7-13800H scores 35416, with a deltaPct of -0.2, while the Intel Core i9-12900HX is at 35289, deltaPct 0.2, and the Intel Core i5-13600T at 35256, deltaPct 0.3. This means the i7-12700KF is essentially on par with several other CPUs, with differences under 1%.

In Allods Online, the CPU’s impact is most visible at lower resolutions. The jump from 1080p Low (278.6 FPS) to 1080p Medium (229.7 FPS) is a 48.9 FPS drop, which may be due to increased draw calls and physics calculations that tax the CPU. At 4K, the CPU is less of a bottleneck because the GPU is overwhelmed, but the 12 cores and 20 threads ensure that the game’s logic threads do not stall the rendering pipeline. The base clock of 3.60 GHz and boost of 5.00 GHz provide ample single-thread headroom, which is crucial for MMORPGs that often rely on a main thread for game logic.

Settings Recommendations

The measured FPS rows offer a clear view of which settings provide the best experience across resolutions. At 1920x1080, all presets are playable, but the Ultra preset at 90.2 FPS is the only one below 100 FPS. Low yields 278.6 FPS, Medium 229.7 FPS, and High 142.7 FPS. For a smooth experience at 1080p, High is the sweet spot, as it remains above 140 FPS while offering better visuals than Medium. Ultra, while visually superior, drops to 90.2 FPS, which is still acceptable but not ideal for fast-paced combat.

At 2560x1440, the choices narrow. Low gives 180.6 FPS, Medium 142 FPS, and High 89.2 FPS, but Ultra falls to 58.7 FPS. For 1440p, Medium is the recommended preset, as it stays above 140 FPS, providing a high-refresh experience. High is also viable at 89.2 FPS, but the drop from Medium to High is 52.8 FPS, which is substantial. Ultra at 58.7 FPS is borderline, as it may dip below 60 FPS in busy scenes, so it is not recommended for consistent performance.

At 3840x2160, the situation is more constrained. Low gives 93.6 FPS, which is the only 4K preset above 90 FPS. Medium drops to 74.5 FPS, High to 48.4 FPS, and Ultra to 32.5 FPS. For 4K gaming, Low is the only preset that maintains a comfortable frame rate, while Medium is playable but may stutter in heavy combat. High and Ultra are not recommended, as sub-50 FPS results in a poor experience for an MMORPG that requires responsiveness. The data shows that the best experience per the measured rows is 1080p High, as it balances visual quality with a 142.7 FPS average, or 1440p Medium at 142 FPS for a sharper image.

How This Combo Ranks

In Allods Online, this combo of Intel Core i7-12700KF and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 ranks 657 out of 1715 tested combos.
