Allods Online

The Intel Core i7-13700K paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 delivers a broad performance envelope in Allods Online, a 2010 MMORPG. Measured frame rates span from 55.2 FPS at 4K Ultra to 299.9 FPS at 1080p Low, indicating that the game’s engine scaling is heavily influenced by both resolution and settings. This combination ranks 15th out of 1,715 tested combos in this title, placing it in the top percentile for overall capability, yet the data also reveals distinct bottlenecks at different configurations.

Resolution Scaling

The FPS drop from 1080p to 4K is substantial but not uniform across all settings. At High settings, the average frame rate falls from 232.5 FPS at 1920x1080 to 160.4 FPS at 2560x1440, then further down to 84.3 FPS at 3840x2160. That represents a 63.8% reduction from 1080p to 4K, showing that the GPU becomes the limiting component as pixel count rises. The scaling from 1440p to 4K is a 47.4% drop, which is steeper than the 31.0% drop from 1080p to 1440p, indicating diminishing returns for the GPU at higher resolutions.

At Low settings, the pattern shifts. The RTX 5090 produces 299.9 FPS at 1080p, 259.1 FPS at 1440p, and 169.8 FPS at 4K. The drop from 1080p to 1440p is only 13.6%, but from 1440p to 4K it is 34.5%, suggesting that even at Low settings, 4K resolution begins to strain the GPU pipeline. However, the fact that 1080p Low nearly hits 300 FPS — while 1080p Ultra only reaches 162.8 FPS — indicates that settings have a larger impact on performance than resolution alone at lower pixel counts.

Ultra settings tell a similar story with a sharper curve: 162.8 FPS at 1080p, 100.3 FPS at 1440p, and 55.2 FPS at 4K. The 4K Ultra result is less than half of the 1080p Ultra result, confirming that the RTX 5090’s raw compute is being taxed heavily by the combination of high resolution and maximum visual fidelity. For 4K gaming, players should expect to dial back to Medium settings (133 FPS) or High settings (84.3 FPS) to maintain smooth gameplay, as Ultra dips below 60 FPS.

FAQ

A: The i7-13700K scores 39,000 in Cinebench R23 multi-core and 12,412 in 3DMark max threads, which are strong results. In Allods Online, where MMO environments often involve many player characters and effects, this multi-core capability helps maintain consistent frame rates during crowded scenes, though the measured FPS data does not isolate this scenario.

GPU Role

The RTX 5090 is a Blackwell 2.0 architecture GPU built on a 5 nm process at TSMC, with 92,200 million transistors on a 750 mm² die. Its 32 GB of GDDR7 memory on a 512-bit bus provides 1.79 TB/s of bandwidth, which is critical for high-resolution textures in Allods Online. The GPU’s base clock is 2017 MHz with a boost clock of 2407 MHz, and memory runs at 1750 MHz (28 Gbps effective). These specifications translate to a pixel rate of 423.6 GPixel/s and a texture rate of 1,636.8 GTexel/s, which are directly relevant to rendering the game’s 2D sprites and 3D environments.

In the measured FPS data, the GPU’s influence is most apparent at 4K resolution. At 4K Low, the RTX 5090 delivers 169.8 FPS, but at 4K Ultra, it drops to 55.2 FPS. This 67.5% performance loss from Low to Ultra at the same resolution highlights how the GPU’s shading units (21,760) and ROPs (176) are pushed to their limits by high settings. The 104.8 TFLOPS FP32 compute is substantial, yet Allods Online’s Ultra preset appears to introduce effects that disproportionately tax the render pipeline.

The GPU’s 94th percentile ranking versus all GPUs, with an average benchmark score of 84,306, places it just ahead of the RTX 5090 D (84,241, +0.1%) and RTX 5050 Mobile (84,171, +0.2%), but behind the CMP 40HX (85,637, -1.6%). In practical terms, the RTX 5090’s measured FPS at 1080p High (232.5 FPS) and 1440p High (160.4 FPS) show that it is not the limiting factor at lower resolutions, where the CPU or game engine caps performance.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the RTX 5090 and i7-13700K produce a wide range of results. Low settings yield 299.9 FPS, Medium 274.4 FPS, High 232.5 FPS, and Ultra 162.8 FPS. The gap between Low and Ultra is 137.1 FPS, or 45.7% of the Low result, indicating that settings adjustments have a profound effect on frame rates at this resolution. Even at Ultra, the system stays well above 144 FPS, making 1080p a resolution where this combo is rarely stressed.

Moving to 2560x1440, the frame rates are still high but show more differentiation. Low produces 259.1 FPS, Medium 233 FPS, High 160.4 FPS, and Ultra 100.3 FPS. The drop from Medium to High is 31.2%, which is the largest single-step decline at this resolution. Ultra at 1440p is still playable at over 100 FPS, but the transition from High to Ultra costs 60.1 FPS, suggesting that Ultra enables features that the GPU must work harder to render.

At 3840x2160, the results compress further. Low hits 169.8 FPS, Medium 133 FPS, High 84.3 FPS, and Ultra 55.2 FPS. This is the only resolution where Ultra dips below 60 FPS, and it is also where the gap between Low and Ultra is largest in absolute terms (114.6 FPS). The 4K Medium result of 133 FPS is the best playable option for high-refresh 4K monitors, while 4K High at 84.3 FPS remains smooth for standard 60 Hz displays. The data indicates that 4K Ultra is only for players who prioritize visual fidelity over frame rate consistency.

How This Combo Ranks

The Intel Core i7-13700K + NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 combination ranks 15th out of 1,715 tested combos in Allods Online. This top-1% placement suggests that the pairing is exceptionally capable, but the rank also implies that 14 other combinations achieve higher average FPS in this specific game. The RTX 5090’s GPU percentile of 94 and the i7-13700K’s CPU percentile of 93 both contribute to this high standing, yet Allods Online’s engine may favor different CPU architectures or GPU configurations.

Within the CPU’s nearest rivals, the i7-13700K scores 47,282 on average, which is 0.1% behind the i7-13700KF (47,334) and 0.5% behind the Ryzen 9 PRO 5945 (47,527), but 0.3% ahead of the EPYC 4364P (47,131) and 0.4% ahead of the i9-12900F (47,081). These small deltas suggest that the CPU is not the primary differentiator in achieving a higher combo rank; instead, the GPU or game-specific optimizations may play a larger role. For the GPU, the RTX 5090’s average score is 84,306, nearly identical to the RTX 5090 D (84,241, +0.1%), which means the ranking is not driven by a unique GPU advantage over its closest competitor.

The rank of 15 out of 1,715 combos is a strong result, but players seeking the absolute highest FPS in Allods Online might need to look at alternative CPU-GPU pairings that rank higher. The data does not specify which combos are ahead, but the measured FPS at 1080p Low (299.9 FPS) shows that this system is already near the practical ceiling for many displays, as 300 FPS is a common refresh-rate limit.

CPU Role

The Intel Core i7-13700K is a Raptor Lake-S architecture processor with 16 cores and 24 threads, based on a 10 nm process at Intel. Its base clock is 3.40 GHz with a boost clock of 5.40 GHz, and it has a 30 MB shared L3 cache alongside 2 MB L2 per core and 80 KB L1 per core. The CPU supports DDR4 and DDR5 memory in dual-channel mode, with ECC memory support. Its TDP is 125 W, and it uses the Intel Socket 1700.

In synthetic benchmarks, the i7-13700K scores 39,000 in Cinebench R23 multi-core and 5,505 in single-core, while 3DMark results show 12,412 for max threads and 1,136 for single thread. These scores indicate strong multi-threaded performance for an MMORPG that may need to handle many simultaneous entities. The CPU’s 93rd percentile rank versus all CPUs, with an average benchmark score of 47,282, places it near the top of the market, but its nearest rivals show minimal differences: the i7-13700KF is -0.1% different, the EPYC 4364P is +0.3%, and the i9-12900F is +0.4%.

In Allods Online, the CPU’s role is most evident at 1080p Low, where the system hits 299.9 FPS — a result that likely approaches the engine’s frame rate cap. The high boost clock of 5.40 GHz helps with single-threaded tasks, which are common in game logic and UI rendering. The 16-core configuration provides headroom for background processes and MMO-specific workloads, such as pathfinding for NPCs or network packet handling. However, the measured FPS does not show a scenario where the CPU is clearly the bottleneck, since even at 4K Ultra (55.2 FPS), the GPU is more likely the limiting factor given the RTX 5090’s percentile rank. The CPU’s 24 threads ensure that the system remains responsive even when the GPU is under full load, but the data suggests that in Allods Online, the GPU determines the frame rate at higher resolutions and settings, while the CPU only becomes relevant at very high FPS targets like 1080p Low.
