Allods Online

The Intel Core i7-13700K paired with the Intel Arc B580 delivers a highly capable experience in Allods Online, with frame rates that scale predictably across resolutions and settings. At 1080p, the combination is exceptionally strong, hitting 204 FPS on Low and 160.8 FPS on Medium, making it ideal for high-refresh-rate displays. The data indicates that the most balanced experience is found at 1440p with Medium settings, offering 101.5 FPS, which provides a smooth and visually pleasing compromise. For 4K gaming, the combo struggles to maintain high frame rates on demanding presets, so users targeting that resolution should consider the performance trade-offs detailed in the sections below.

Settings Recommendations

The measured FPS data for Allods Online reveals a clear hierarchy across the four presets, with performance scaling directly with graphical intensity. At 1920x1080, the Low preset yields an average of 204 FPS, which is an outstanding result for fast-paced gameplay. Medium at the same resolution still provides an excellent 160.8 FPS, suggesting that most users with standard 1080p monitors should have no trouble enabling higher visual fidelity without sacrificing smoothness. High drops to 103.9 FPS, which remains very playable, while Ultra falls to 63.4 FPS, still within the range of a standard 60 Hz display.

Moving to 2560x1440, the pattern shifts. Low delivers a very strong 132.4 FPS, and Medium maintains an impressive 101.5 FPS, making it the sweet spot for this resolution. High at 63.8 FPS is playable but begins to show the GPU’s limitations, while Ultra plummets to 38.4 FPS, which is below the threshold for smooth gameplay on most systems. At 4K (3840x2160), the situation becomes more constrained: Low achieves 68.3 FPS, Medium drops to 51.7 FPS, High falls to 33.6 FPS, and Ultra bottoms out at 24.2 FPS.

The data suggests that Medium is the optimal preset for the best experience per measured row, as it provides over 100 FPS at both 1080p and 1440p, and remains above 50 FPS at 4K. This preset offers a significant visual upgrade over Low while maintaining frame rates that are high enough for competitive play. High is a viable alternative for 1080p users who prioritize image quality, but its performance at higher resolutions is less compelling. Ultra is only recommended for 1080p displays, where the 63.4 FPS average is still usable, though it is the least efficient setting in terms of frame rate return.

Resolution Scaling

The measured FPS data across the three resolutions provides clear evidence of where the performance bottleneck lies. At 1920x1080, the combo delivers 204 FPS on Low, 160.8 FPS on Medium, 103.9 FPS on High, and 63.4 FPS on Ultra. These numbers show a healthy scaling curve, with even the most demanding preset remaining playable. Moving to 2560x1440, the frame rates drop to 132.4 FPS on Low, 101.5 FPS on Medium, 63.8 FPS on High, and 38.4 FPS on Ultra. The drop from 1080p to 1440p is substantial, particularly on higher presets, indicating the GPU is starting to feel the load.

The shift to 3840x2160 is where the Arc B580’s limitations become pronounced. Low settings yield 68.3 FPS, which is a 66.5% reduction from the 1080p Low result. Medium falls to 51.7 FPS, High drops to 33.6 FPS, and Ultra collapses to 24.2 FPS. This pattern—where the frame rate at 4K Ultra is less than 12% of the 1080p Low result—strongly suggests that the Intel Arc B580 is the limiting component in this pairing. The CPU’s performance is largely resolution-independent, so the severe FPS degradation at higher pixel counts directly correlates with the GPU’s rendering workload.

The data also shows that the scaling from 1440p to 4K is more punishing than the scaling from 1080p to 1440p. For instance, on High settings, the drop from 1080p to 1440p is 38.6%, while the drop from 1440p to 4K is 47.3%. This accelerating decline indicates that the GPU’s memory bandwidth of 456.0 GB/s and its 12 GB of GDDR6 memory are insufficient for the demands of 4K rendering in Allods Online. Users seeking high frame rates at 4K will need to rely on the Low preset, which remains the only playable option in that resolution.

CPU Role

The Intel Core i7-13700K is a formidable processor, built on the Raptor Lake architecture with 16 cores and 24 threads. Its base clock is 3.40 GHz, and it can boost up to 5.40 GHz, providing substantial single-thread and multi-thread performance. The CPU has a 125 W TDP and supports both DDR4 and DDR5 memory, with a 30 MB shared L3 cache. These specifications translate into an average benchmark score of 47282, placing it in the 93rd percentile of all CPUs, which underscores its capability in general processing tasks.

In Allods Online, however, the CPU’s influence on the measured frame rates is secondary to the GPU. The combo rank of 1339 out of 1715 indicates that the pairing is not optimized for this title, despite the CPU’s high standing. This is likely because MMORPGs like Allods Online, released in 2010, often have engine limitations that prevent them from fully utilizing modern multi-core processors. The 13700K’s high boost clock of 5.40 GHz helps with single-threaded tasks, which is beneficial for game logic and physics, but the overall frame rates are capped by the GPU’s rendering capability.

The CPU’s benchmark results show strong multi-threaded performance, with a Cinebench R23 multicore score of 39000 and a Geekbench multicore score of 17731. These numbers indicate that the processor can handle heavy workloads, but the game’s performance at 4K Ultra (24.2 FPS) versus 1080p Low (204 FPS) highlights that the GPU is the bottleneck. The 13700K’s nearest rivals, all within 0.5% of its average score, further confirm that the CPU is not the weak link in this configuration. For users looking to improve frame rates in Allods Online, upgrading the GPU would yield far greater returns than any CPU change, as the data consistently shows the Arc B580 as the limiting factor at higher resolutions and presets.
