Allods Online

Allods Online, a 2010-era MMORPG, remains surprisingly demanding at its upper graphics presets, and the pairing of the Intel Core i7-14700F with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 produces a wide performance envelope that hinges almost entirely on resolution and quality settings. The data set for this combo shows a component pairing where the CPU provides massive headroom, while the GPU dictates the experience at higher loads. Benchmark results indicate a system capable of triple-digit frame rates at 1080p and 1440p in lighter settings, yet one that falls below 30 FPS at 4K Ultra, illustrating a classic bottleneck shift.

CPU Role — cores, clocks, and how they relate to this game's results

The Intel Core i7-14700F is a 20-core, 28-thread processor based on the Raptor Lake-R architecture, built on Intel's 10 nm process. Its configuration features a base clock of 2.10 GHz and a boost clock of 5.40 GHz, with a 65 W TDP. This processor sits in the 94th percentile against all CPUs, indicating it is positioned near the top of the performance stack for synthetic workloads. Its average benchmark score of 54097 places it within a tight cluster of rivals, including the AMD Ryzen 9 9900X at 54450 (a -0.6% delta) and the AMD Ryzen 9 9900X3D at 54681 (a -1.1% delta), showing that the i7-14700F is statistically comparable to those higher-tier chips in general compute tasks.

For Allods Online, a game that does not typically stress massive multi-threading, the single-core performance is crucial. The CPU's Cinebench R23 single-core score of 5003 and Geekbench single-core score of 2711 are strong indicators of its capability to handle the game's primary logic thread. The high boost clock of 5.40 GHz is the key enabler here, allowing the processor to rapidly process game state updates and network data common in an MMORPG. The L3 cache is 33 MB shared, which helps reduce latency when accessing frequently used data. While the game is older, the CPU's PassMark single-thread score of 4261 ensures that it is not the limiting factor in the measured frame rates, especially when considering that the GPU is a mid-range part. The data shows that even at 1080p Low, where the frame rate peaks at 257.9 FPS, the CPU is capable of feeding the GPU without creating a significant bottleneck.

How This Combo Ranks — use comboRankInGame vs other tested combos

In the specific context of Allods Online, this hardware combination is ranked 882 out of 1715 tested combos. This places it just past the midpoint of all tested configurations, which is a notable finding given the CPU's high percentile ranking of 94. The discrepancy between the CPU's aggregate performance percentile and the combo's in-game rank suggests that the RTX 4060's 66th percentile standing among GPUs is the primary anchor for this pairing's overall position. The combo rank implies that while the CPU is a top-tier part, many other tested systems likely feature higher-performing GPUs that can push higher average frame rates in this title.

The nearest GPU rivals to the RTX 4060, based on average benchmark scores, include the AMD Radeon RX 6600M at 23321 (a -0.6% delta) and the Intel Arc B580 at 23021 (a 0.7% delta). These deltas are minimal, suggesting that the RTX 4060's raw compute is on par with those parts. However, in the measured FPS data for this game, the RTX 4060 shows a specific performance profile. The combo's rank of 882 out of 1715 indicates that a substantial number of other pairings, likely those with higher-tier GPUs like the RTX 4070 or above, achieve better results in Allods Online. This is not a statement about the CPU's adequacy but rather a reflection of the GPU's position in the overall hierarchy of tested components.

Resolution Scaling — how FPS drops from 1080p to 4K and what it says about the limiting component

The measured FPS data reveals a clear and consistent scaling pattern across resolutions, which illuminates the role of each component. At 1080p Ultra, the combo produces 79.5 FPS. Moving to 1440p Ultra, the frame rate drops to 53 FPS, a reduction of 26.5 FPS. At 4K Ultra, the frame rate plummets to 25.7 FPS, which is a 67.7% decrease from the 1080p Ultra result. This steep decline is a textbook indicator of GPU limitation. The rendering load at 4K with Ultra settings is too heavy for the RTX 4060's 8 GB of GDDR6 memory and its 128-bit memory bus, which provides a bandwidth of 272.0 GB/s.

Conversely, at Low settings, the scaling is less severe but still present. 1080p Low yields 257.9 FPS, 1440p Low drops to 162.1 FPS, and 4K Low produces 86.3 FPS. The fact that 4K Low is still above 60 FPS shows that when pixel count is the main variable, the GPU can still manage, but the drop from 1440p Low to 4K Low (a 75.8 FPS reduction) is disproportionate to the 78% increase in pixel count, further confirming the GPU's workload sensitivity. The data strongly suggests that the Intel Core i7-14700F is not the bottleneck in this system for this game. The consistent frame rate drops as resolution increases point directly to the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 as the limiting component, especially at higher settings where its fillrate and memory bandwidth are strained.

Measured FPS Breakdown — resolution by resolution, settings by settings, exact numbers

The measured FPS data provides a complete matrix of performance across three resolutions and four quality presets. At 1920x1080, the combo delivers an average of 257.9 FPS on Low, 198.1 FPS on Medium, 125.7 FPS on High, and 79.5 FPS on Ultra. These numbers show that 1080p is comfortable territory for this hardware, with even the Ultra preset maintaining a frame rate well above 60 FPS. The progression from Low to Ultra at 1080p shows a 69.2% reduction in performance, which is significant but expected for a game with scalable effects.

At 2560x1440, the averages are 162.1 FPS on Low, 128.2 FPS on Medium, 81.5 FPS on High, and 53 FPS on Ultra. The drop from High to Ultra at 1440p is 28.5 FPS, indicating that the Ultra preset introduces effects that heavily tax the GPU. The 1440p Low result of 162.1 FPS is still excellent for high-refresh-rate monitors. Finally, at 3840x2160, the averages are 86.3 FPS on Low, 64.8 FPS on Medium, 43.6 FPS on High, and 25.7 FPS on Ultra. The 4K Ultra result of 25.7 FPS is below the threshold for smooth gameplay, while 4K Medium at 64.8 FPS is viable. The data shows a consistent pattern: the RTX 4060 provides playable frame rates up to High settings at 1440p and Medium settings at 4K, but Ultra settings are only feasible at 1080p.

GPU Role — VRAM, clocks, and how they relate to this game's results

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 is built on the Ada Lovelace architecture using a 5 nm process at TSMC. It features 8 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 128-bit bus, with a bandwidth of 272.0 GB/s. The GPU's base clock is 1830 MHz, with a boost clock of 2460 MHz. Its memory clock is listed at 2125 MHz, or 17 Gbps effective. These specifications place the GPU in the 66th percentile of all GPUs, with an average benchmark score of 23181. Its nearest rivals include the AMD Radeon RX 6600M (23321, -0.6%) and the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 780 Ti (23338, -0.7%), indicating that its raw compute power is similar to those older or mobile-oriented parts.

In Allods Online, the GPU's role is definitive. The 8 GB VRAM capacity is sufficient for 1080p and 1440p at most settings, but the 4K Ultra preset likely exceeds its comfortable memory footprint, contributing to the 25.7 FPS result. The GPU's 3072 shading units and 48 ROPs are tasked with rendering the game's effects, and the data shows that the Ultra preset at 4K is a bridge too far. The boost clock of 2460 MHz helps maintain performance at lower resolutions, where the GPU is not memory-bandwidth limited. The measured FPS at 1080p Low (257.9 FPS) confirms the GPU's ability to push high frame rates when the load is light, but the 4K results show that the 128-bit memory interface is a significant constraint. The GPU's performance in this game is consistent with its synthetic benchmark standing—it is a solid mid-range part that excels at 1080p and handles 1440p well, but it lacks the memory bandwidth and capacity for high-fidelity 4K gaming.
