Allods Online

The Intel Core i7-12700KF paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 produces a wide spread of frame rates across Allods Online’s four quality presets, with the measured data clearly separating the GPU-bound 4K results from the more CPU-responsive lower resolutions. At 1920x1080, the Low preset reaches an average of 255.9 FPS, while the Ultra preset drops to 77 FPS — a gap that narrows at 2560x1440, where Low averages 162.9 FPS and Ultra falls to 52.9 FPS. The 3840x2160 results compress further, with Low at 86.5 FPS and Ultra at just 27.7 FPS, indicating that the RTX 4060’s 8 GB VRAM and 128-bit memory bus become the primary limiter as pixel count rises.

Resolution Scaling

The frame rate trajectory from 1080p to 4K shows a predictable scaling pattern that highlights where the bottleneck shifts. At 1920x1080 with Low settings, the combo delivers 255.9 FPS, which is more than double the 4K Low result of 86.5 FPS — a 66% reduction. Moving to High settings, 1080p yields 127.4 FPS, while 4K drops to 39.3 FPS, a 69% decrease. The Medium preset follows the same trend: 202.5 FPS at 1080p versus 65.3 FPS at 4K, a 68% drop. Ultra is the most punishing, with 77 FPS at 1080p collapsing to 27.7 FPS at 4K, a 64% loss.

These percentages suggest that the GPU is the dominant constraint at higher resolutions, particularly because the RTX 4060’s memory bandwidth of 272.0 GB/s and 8 GB frame buffer are modest for 4K workloads. The CPU, with its 12 cores and 20 threads, does not appear to be the limiting factor at 4K, since even the lowest preset at that resolution reaches only 86.5 FPS — far below the 1080p Low figure. At 1440p, the scaling is less severe: Low drops from 162.9 FPS to 86.5 FPS when moving to 4K, a 47% reduction, while High falls from 77.8 FPS to 39.3 FPS, a 49% reduction. This indicates that the RTX 4060 still has headroom at 1440p for less demanding presets, but the 4K Ultra result of 27.7 FPS is below playable thresholds for most users, confirming that 4K Ultra is not viable with this combination.

The data reveals that the transition from 1080p to 1440p is less punishing than the jump to 4K. For example, 1080p Medium (202.5 FPS) drops to 1440p Medium (127.8 FPS), a 37% loss, but then falls to 4K Medium (65.3 FPS), a further 49% loss. This two-step degradation pattern is typical of a GPU with a 128-bit memory interface, where the fill rate and bandwidth limitations become more pronounced as resolution increases.

CPU Role

The Intel Core i7-12700KF brings a substantial amount of processing power to Allods Online, an MMORPG that can be sensitive to single-thread performance in crowded scenes. The CPU’s base clock of 3.60 GHz and boost clock of 5.00 GHz, combined with 12 cores and 20 threads, provide strong headroom for the game’s logic and networking threads. In synthetic benchmarks, the chip scores 1043 in 3dmark_single_thread and 9983 in 3dmark_max_threads, with a Cinebench R23 multicore result of 28979 and a single-core score of 4091. These figures place the processor in the 89th percentile among all CPUs, with an average benchmark score of 35355.

The nearest rivals in the CPU benchmark database include the Intel Core i5-14400, which scores 35336 (a 0.1% delta), and the Intel Core i7-13800H at 35416 (-0.2% delta). The i9-12900HX and i5-13600T are also close, with deltas of 0.2% and 0.3% respectively. This tight cluster means that in CPU-bound scenarios, the i7-12700KF is effectively on par with these alternatives, and the measured FPS differences in Allods Online are unlikely to stem from CPU variance alone.

Given that the 1080p Low preset achieves 255.9 FPS, it is clear that the CPU can drive very high frame rates when the GPU is not overloaded. The fact that 1080p Ultra drops to 77 FPS — a 70% reduction from Low — suggests that the GPU’s rendering load, not the CPU, is responsible for the decline. The CPU’s 25 MB of shared L3 cache and 1.25 MB per-core L2 cache also help maintain consistent performance in MMORPG environments where many entities are tracked, but the measured data does not show any CPU-specific bottleneck at any resolution, as even 4K Low (86.5 FPS) is far below the CPU’s theoretical ceiling.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 is the deciding factor in most of the measured results, particularly at higher resolutions and quality presets. With 8 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 128-bit bus, the card delivers 272.0 GB/s of bandwidth, which is modest for 4K gaming. The GPU’s boost clock of 2460 MHz and base clock of 1830 MHz, combined with 3072 shading units, produce a FP32 throughput of 15.11 TFLOPS. In the PassMark G3D benchmark, the card scores 19545, placing it in the 66th percentile among all GPUs, with an average benchmark score of 23181.

The GPU’s nearest rivals include the AMD Radeon RX 6600M, which scores 23321 (-0.6% delta), and the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 780 Ti at 23338 (-0.7% delta). The Intel Arc B580 (23021, 0.7% delta) and AMD Radeon 760M (22999, 0.8% delta) are also nearby. This indicates that the RTX 4060 sits in a competitive performance band, but its 8 GB VRAM is a limitation for 4K Ultra settings, which demand more memory than the card can efficiently provide.

The measured FPS data supports this interpretation. At 4K Ultra, the combo averages only 27.7 FPS, which is 68% lower than 1080p Ultra’s 77 FPS. The jump from 4K High (39.3 FPS) to 4K Ultra (27.7 FPS) represents a 30% loss, suggesting that the Ultra preset’s additional effects and texture detail overwhelm the GPU’s bandwidth and pixel throughput. At 1440p, the RTX 4060 handles Medium at 127.8 FPS and High at 77.8 FPS, but Ultra drops to 52.9 FPS, again showing a steep penalty for the highest quality tier. The 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 2302 and PassMark DirectX 12 score of 76 reinforce that the card is not designed for extreme 4K workloads, but it is competent at 1080p and 1440p with moderate settings.

How This Combo Ranks

In the database of tested hardware combinations for Allods Online, this pairing of the i7-12700KF and RTX 4060 ranks 892nd out of 1715 combos. This places it slightly below the median, which is consistent with the GPU’s 66th percentile standing and the CPU’s 89th percentile — the combination’s overall rank is dragged down by the GPU’s limitations at higher resolutions. The rank of 892 out of 1715 means that roughly 48% of tested combos perform better, but many of those likely feature more powerful GPUs that can sustain higher frame rates at 4K.

When interpreting this rank, it is important to consider that the measured FPS data shows excellent performance at 1080p and 1440p for Low and Medium presets, with 1080p Low reaching 255.9 FPS and 1440p Medium at 127.8 FPS. The rank is thus a reflection of the GPU’s inability to maintain high frame rates at 4K Ultra, where the combo falls to 27.7 FPS. For an MMORPG like Allods Online, which is typically played at lower settings to maximize responsiveness, this rank may be acceptable, but it does not top the charts. The combo’s position in the middle of the pack is a result of the RTX 4060’s modest memory bandwidth and 8 GB VRAM, which cap performance in the most demanding scenarios.

Settings Recommendations

Based on the measured rows, the optimal balance of frame rate and visual quality for this combo is the Medium preset at 2560x1440, which delivers 127.8 FPS — well above the 60 FPS threshold and only 19% lower than the 1440p Low result of 162.9 FPS. At 1920x1080, Medium provides 202.5 FPS, which is an excellent experience for high-refresh-rate displays, while High at 1080p still manages 127.4 FPS. For users prioritizing smoothness over fidelity, the Low preset at 1440p (162.9 FPS) or 1080p (255.9 FPS) is the best choice, as these settings minimize GPU load and allow the CPU to push maximum frame rates.

The Ultra preset is not recommended at any resolution, as it produces 77 FPS at 1080p, 52.9 FPS at 1440p, and 27.7 FPS at 4K. The latter is below playable standards, and even 1080p Ultra’s 77 FPS is a significant 62% reduction from Medium’s 202.5 FPS. At 4K, the High preset (39.3 FPS) is marginal, and the Medium preset (65.3 FPS) is the only viable option for a somewhat smooth experience, though it still falls short of the 1440p Medium result. For most users, sticking to Medium or High at 1080p or 1440p will provide the best experience, with 4K reserved only for Low settings (86.5 FPS) if resolution is a priority.
