Allods Online

Allods Online, an MMORPG released on October 25, 2010, presents a mixed challenge for the Intel Core i7-13700K and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 combination. Measured frame rates span from 196.3 FPS at 1080p Low to 18 FPS at 4K Ultra, with the combo ranking 1406th out of 1715 tested configurations. The data reveals a system that is clearly CPU-capable but GPU-limited at higher resolutions and settings, making preset choices critical for a smooth experience.

Resolution Scaling

The FPS drop from 1080p to 4K is steep across all settings, but the pattern varies. At Low settings, the average frame rate falls from 196.3 FPS at 1920x1080 to 124.2 at 2560x1440, then to 63.1 at 3840x2160. Medium settings show a similar curve: 153.1, 96.2, and 53.6 FPS respectively. High settings drop from 98.3 at 1080p to 59.1 at 1440p and 31.7 at 4K. Ultra is the most demanding, going from 61.6 at 1080p to 39.3 at 1440p and 18 at 4K.

The scaling indicates that at 1080p, the RTX 2060 is not the primary bottleneck—the i7-13700K can push well over 150 FPS on Low and Medium. However, as resolution increases, the GPU’s fill-rate and memory bandwidth become limiting. The 4K Ultra result of 18 FPS is particularly telling; this is a case where the GPU’s 6 GB GDDR6 memory and 336.0 GB/s bandwidth are overwhelmed. The gap between Low and Ultra at 4K (63.1 vs 18) is far larger than at 1080p (196.3 vs 61.6), confirming that the GPU is the limiting component at high pixel counts. For a 2010 MMORPG, the scaling behavior suggests the game engine is not particularly well-optimized for modern GPUs, but the CPU’s strong single-thread performance keeps low-resolution frame rates very high.

FAQ

Q: What is the highest average FPS this system can achieve at 1080p?

A: At 1920x1080 with Low settings, the average is 196.3 FPS. Medium yields 153.1, High 98.3, and Ultra 61.6.

Q: Can this system run the game at 4K smoothly?

A: Only at Low settings does 4K stay above 60 FPS, with an average of 63.1. Medium drops to 53.6, High to 31.7, and Ultra to 18.

Q: Which resolution and preset gives the best balance of visuals and performance?

A: At 2560x1440, Medium produces 96.2 FPS, while High is 59.1. For a 60 FPS target, 1440p High is borderline; 1080p High at 98.3 FPS or 1440p Medium are safer choices.

Q: How does the RTX 2060 compare to its nearest rivals in synthetic benchmarks?

A: The RTX 2060 has an average benchmark score of 16074, which is 0.5% higher than the AMD Radeon RX 7600S (15996) and 1.8% higher than the Radeon Pro W5500 (15786), but 1.7% lower than the Radeon Pro 5600M and Radeon Pro 5700 (both 16351).

Q: What is the CPU’s performance percentile?

A: The Intel Core i7-13700K ranks in the 93rd percentile of all CPUs, with an average benchmark score of 47282.

Q: Is the RTX 2060’s VRAM a concern for this game?

A: At 4K Ultra, the 6 GB VRAM and 192-bit bus likely contribute to the 18 FPS average. At lower resolutions, the VRAM is sufficient, as seen in the 1080p Ultra result of 61.6 FPS.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 is built on the Turing architecture with a TU106 chip, featuring 1920 shading units, 120 TMUs, and 48 ROPs. Its base clock is 1365 MHz and boost clock 1680 MHz, with memory running at 1750 MHz (14 Gbps effective) across a 192-bit bus, yielding 336.0 GB/s bandwidth. The GPU has 6 GB of GDDR6 VRAM and a 160 W TDP. In synthetic benchmarks, it scores 14111 in Passmark G3D and 71278 in Geekbench OpenCL, placing it in the 58th percentile of all GPUs.

The measured FPS data shows that the GPU becomes the dominant limiting factor at higher resolutions. At 1080p Low, the CPU can feed 196.3 FPS, but the GPU still manages 61.6 FPS at Ultra—a 68% reduction. At 4K, the gap widens dramatically: Low gives 63.1 FPS, but Ultra only 18. This suggests that the GPU’s memory bandwidth and fill-rate are insufficient for the heavy pixel load of 4K Ultra. The RTX 2060’s nearest rivals—RX 7600S, Radeon Pro 5600M, Radeon Pro 5700, and Radeon Pro W5500—have very similar average scores (within 1.8% of each other), so the GPU’s performance in this game is representative of its class. The 6 GB VRAM is adequate for 1080p and 1440p, but the 4K Ultra result indicates that the memory capacity and bandwidth are stressed at that resolution.

Settings Recommendations

Based on the measured rows, the optimal preset depends on the target resolution and frame rate. For 1920x1080, Ultra delivers 61.6 FPS, which is playable but not high-refresh. High gives 98.3 FPS—a significant improvement with minimal visual loss. Medium reaches 153.1 FPS, and Low 196.3 FPS, ideal for 144 Hz or 165 Hz displays. At 2560x1440, Medium is the sweet spot at 96.2 FPS; High drops to 59.1, which is still acceptable for 60 Hz, but Ultra falls to 39.3 and is not recommended. For 3840x2160, only Low (63.1 FPS) provides a smooth experience; Medium (53.6) is borderline, while High (31.7) and Ultra (18) are too slow. In summary, for a 60 FPS target: 1080p Ultra, 1440p High (just under 60), and 4K Low. For higher refresh rates, 1080p Medium or Low and 1440p Medium are the best choices.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The following table lists all measured average FPS values from the data set.

| Resolution | Low | Medium | High | Ultra |

|------------|-------|--------|-------|-------|

| 1920x1080 | 196.3 | 153.1 | 98.3 | 61.6 |

| 2560x1440 | 124.2 | 96.2 | 59.1 | 39.3 |

| 3840x2160 | 63.1 | 53.6 | 31.7 | 18 |

These numbers show a consistent pattern: each resolution step (1080p → 1440p → 4K) reduces FPS roughly by a factor of 0.6 to 0.5 across most settings, with Ultra taking the largest hit. The 4K Ultra result of 18 FPS is the lowest in the entire table, reinforcing the GPU-bound nature of high-resolution gameplay.

CPU Role

The Intel Core i7-13700K is a 16-core, 24-thread processor based on Raptor Lake, with a base clock of 3.40 GHz and boost up to 5.40 GHz. It has 30 MB of shared L3 cache and 2 MB L2 per core, with a 125 W TDP. In synthetic benchmarks, it scores 39000 in Cinebench R23 multi-core and 5505 in single-core, 17731 in Geekbench multi-core and 2850 in single-core, and 45887 in Passmark multithread. It ranks in the 93rd percentile of all CPUs, with an average benchmark score of 47282. Its nearest rivals are the Core i7-13700KF (0.1% lower), AMD EPYC 4364P (0.3% higher), Core i9-12900F (0.4% higher), and Ryzen 9 PRO 5945 (0.5% lower)—all within a 1% band.

In Allods Online, the CPU’s strength is evident at 1080p Low, where the system reaches 196.3 FPS. This indicates that the processor can easily feed high frame rates when the GPU is not the bottleneck. The game, being from 2010, likely does not scale well beyond a few threads, so the i7-13700K’s high single-core performance (Cinebench R23 single 5505, Geekbench single 2850) is more relevant than its 16 cores. The 30 MB L3 cache and 5.40 GHz boost clock contribute to low-latency, high-frequency execution. At 4K, the CPU is not the limiting factor; the GPU’s 18 FPS at Ultra is far below what the CPU can sustain. The data shows that the i7-13700K provides ample headroom for this title, and the system’s overall rank of 1406 out of 1715 combos is primarily due to the GPU’s mid-range standing, not the CPU.
