Allods Online

The Intel Core i7-12700KF paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 delivers a dramatic performance spread across resolutions in Allods Online, with the data showing that the GPU becomes the primary constraint as pixel count rises. At 1920x1080 with Low settings, the combo produces an average of 276.9 FPS. Moving to 2560x1440 at Low drops that figure to 237.2 FPS, a reduction of roughly 14%. At 3840x2160 Low, the average falls to 123.8 FPS, which is approximately 45% lower than the 1440p result. This scaling pattern at Low settings, where the frame rate nearly halves from 1440p to 4K, indicates that the rendering load is scaling heavily with resolution, a classic sign that the GPU is the limiting component even at the most modest quality preset.

The High preset tells a similar story with a steeper curve. At 1080p High, the average is 189.6 FPS. At 1440p High, it drops to 119.5 FPS, a 37% reduction. At 4K High, the average plummets to 62.2 FPS, which is roughly 48% lower than the 1440p result. The Ultra preset shows the most severe scaling: 115.3 FPS at 1080p, 76.9 FPS at 1440p, and just 40.7 FPS at 4K. The gap between Low and Ultra at 4K is substantial — 123.8 FPS versus 40.7 FPS — which underscores how much headroom the GPU has at lower settings but also how quickly it saturates under maximum load. The data suggests that at 1080p, the CPU likely has more influence on the upper bounds, since the frame rates at Low (276.9 FPS) are extremely high, but the GPU still manages to scale the workload effectively as settings increase.

Resolution Scaling

Resolution scaling analysis reveals that the RTX 5070's performance degrades predictably as resolution increases, but the rate of degradation varies significantly by preset. From 1080p to 1440p at Low settings, the frame rate drops from 276.9 to 237.2 FPS, a 14.3% decrease. From 1440p to 4K at Low, the drop is steeper at 47.8%, going from 237.2 to 123.8 FPS. At High settings, the 1080p-to-1440p drop is 37.0% (189.6 to 119.5 FPS), and the 1440p-to-4K drop is 47.9% (119.5 to 62.2 FPS). The Ultra preset exhibits the largest relative losses: 33.3% from 1080p to 1440p (115.3 to 76.9 FPS) and 47.1% from 1440p to 4K (76.9 to 40.7 FPS). This pattern — where the 1440p-to-4K transition consistently removes roughly half the frame rate regardless of preset — strongly indicates that the GPU's memory bandwidth and shading throughput are the limiting factors at 4K. The 12 GB of GDDR7 memory on a 192-bit bus with 672.0 GB/s bandwidth appears sufficient for the game's demands at lower presets, but the Ultra preset at 4K, which yields only 40.7 FPS, suggests that the GPU's raw compute (30.87 TFLOPS FP32) is being fully utilized.

The 1080p results are particularly informative for isolating the CPU's role. At Low settings, the combo achieves 276.9 FPS, which is near the practical ceiling for many display refresh rates. At Medium settings, it achieves 252.8 FPS, and at High, 189.6 FPS. The relatively small gap between Low and Medium at 1080p (276.9 vs. 252.8 FPS) compared to the larger gap between High and Ultra (189.6 vs. 115.3 FPS) suggests that the CPU can feed the GPU adequately at lower settings, but the GPU's workload increases disproportionately when transitioning to Ultra. The 4K Ultra result of 40.7 FPS is the single lowest measured value, and it demonstrates that this combo cannot maintain smooth gameplay at maximum settings in 4K, whereas 1080p Ultra at 115.3 FPS remains playable.

How This Combo Ranks

In the context of all tested hardware combinations for Allods Online, the i7-12700KF + RTX 5070 pairing ranks 227th out of 1715 combos, placing it in the top 13.2% of all configurations tested. This percentile position indicates that the combo sits comfortably above the median performer, but it is not among the absolute elite setups. The rank reflects the balance between the CPU's 89th percentile standing among all CPUs and the GPU's 83rd percentile among all GPUs. The CPU's average benchmark score of 35355 places it nearly identical to its nearest rivals: the Intel Core i5-14400 scores 35336 (0.1% faster), the Intel Core i7-13800H scores 35416 (0.2% slower), the Intel Core i9-12900HX scores 35289 (0.2% faster), and the Intel Core i5-13600T scores 35256 (0.3% faster). This tight grouping — all within 0.3% of each other — suggests that the specific CPU model matters less than the platform's overall capability for this game.

The GPU's average benchmark score of 41687 places it near the AMD Radeon Pro 5300 (41610, 0.2% slower) and the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3090 (41441, 0.6% slower), while the NVIDIA Tesla M40 scores 41897 (0.5% faster) and the AMD Radeon Pro 580X scores 41991 (0.7% faster). The RTX 5070's rank in the game, 227 out of 1715, is consistent with its GPU percentile of 83, which means it outperforms 83% of all GPUs in the database. The combination of a top-15% CPU and a top-17% GPU yields a combo rank that is slightly lower than either component's individual percentile, which implies that the game's performance is not purely additive — the CPU and GPU must work in concert, and the 4K Ultra results (40.7 FPS) drag down the overall ranking compared to what the 1080p results might suggest.

CPU Role

The Intel Core i7-12700KF brings a 12-core, 20-thread configuration based on the Alder Lake architecture, with a base clock of 3.60 GHz and a boost clock of 5.00 GHz. The CPU's 25 MB of shared L3 cache and per-core L2 cache of 1.25 MB are substantial for a gaming workload, and the 3DMark scores reflect strong multi-threaded performance: 9282 in the 16-thread test and 9983 in the max-thread test. Single-thread performance is also respectable, with a 3DMark single-thread score of 1043 and a Geekbench single-core score of 2526. In Cinebench R23, the CPU scores 28979 multi-core and 4091 single-core, which places it in the 89th percentile among all CPUs.

For Allods Online, an MMORPG released in 2010, the CPU's role is likely more pronounced at lower resolutions where the GPU is not fully saturated. The 1080p Low result of 276.9 FPS and the 1080p Medium result of 252.8 FPS suggest that the CPU can maintain very high frame rates, but the drop to 189.6 FPS at High and 115.3 FPS at Ultra indicates that the game's draw calls and physics calculations scale with settings. The CPU's 20 threads provide ample headroom for background tasks and the game's server communication, but the data shows that even this strong processor cannot prevent the frame rate from falling at 4K Ultra. The 89th percentile ranking versus all CPUs, combined with the nearest rival (Core i5-14400) being only 0.1% different in average score, indicates that the i7-12700KF's advantage over more modest CPUs is marginal in this title, and the GPU is the dominant factor in the measured results.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 is built on the Blackwell 2.0 architecture with a GB205 chip manufactured on a 5 nm process at TSMC. It features 6144 shading units, 192 texture mapping units, and 80 render output units, along with 48 ray tracing cores and 192 tensor cores. The GPU's base clock is 2325 MHz with a boost clock of 2512 MHz, and it has 12 GB of GDDR7 memory on a 192-bit bus, yielding a bandwidth of 672.0 GB/s. The GPU's FP32 performance is rated at 30.87 TFLOPS, and its pixel rate is 201.0 GPixel/s, with a texture rate of 482.3 GTexel/s.

In Allods Online, the GPU's role is most evident in the scaling from Low to Ultra settings. At 1080p, the frame rate drops from 276.9 FPS at Low to 115.3 FPS at Ultra, a 58.4% reduction. At 1440p, the drop is from 237.2 to 76.9 FPS, a 67.6% reduction. At 4K, the drop is from 123.8 to 40.7 FPS, a 67.1% reduction. This consistent pattern across resolutions indicates that the GPU's compute and memory subsystems are being taxed progressively harder as settings increase. The 12 GB VRAM appears sufficient for the game's textures, as no memory-related stutters can be inferred from the average FPS data. The GPU's 83rd percentile ranking among all GPUs, with an average benchmark score of 41687, places it just 0.6% above the RTX 3090, which is notable given the generational difference. The 4K Ultra result of 40.7 FPS is below the 60 FPS threshold commonly considered smooth, indicating that the GPU's 30.87 TFLOPS and 672.0 GB/s bandwidth are insufficient for maximum settings at 4K in this title.

Settings Recommendations

Based on the measured frame rates, the optimal settings depend on the target resolution and desired smoothness. For 1920x1080, the High preset at 189.6 FPS provides a strong balance between visual quality and performance, while Ultra at 115.3 FPS remains playable and offers the highest fidelity. The Medium preset at 252.8 FPS is suitable for high-refresh-rate displays, though the jump from Medium to High (252.8 to 189.6 FPS) represents a 25% performance cost for presumably better visuals. At 2560x1440, the High preset at 119.5 FPS is the recommended choice for a smooth experience, as Ultra at 76.9 FPS may still be acceptable but leaves less headroom for demanding scenes. The Medium preset at 191 FPS is excellent for competitive play or high-refresh monitors, but the visual difference from High may be noticeable. For 3840x2160, the Low preset at 123.8 FPS is the only option that comfortably exceeds 60 FPS, while Medium at 96 FPS is also playable. The High preset at 62.2 FPS barely maintains 60 FPS, and Ultra at 40.7 FPS is not recommended for consistent gameplay. The data indicates that the combo's sweet spot is 1440p High, where the 119.5 FPS average provides ample performance while maintaining solid visual quality. For 4K users, sacrificing to Medium settings (96 FPS) is the pragmatic choice, as the gap to
