Allods Online

The Intel Core i7-14700F paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 delivers a strong showing in Allods Online, a 2010 MMORPG. Measured frame rates across three resolutions and four presets provide a clear picture of scaling and playability. The CPU, with a launch MSRP of $359, and the GPU, with a launch MSRP of $599, combine to place this configuration at rank 300 out of 1715 tested combos.

Resolution Scaling

The measured FPS data reveals how the workload shifts as resolution increases. At 1080p, the combo produces very high frame rates across all presets: Low 295.1, Medium 269.0, High 177.2, and Ultra 106.5. Moving to 1440p, these figures drop to 221.3, 172.0, 110.6, and 70.9 respectively. At 4K, the numbers fall further to 113.8, 88.9, 56.6, and 33.6. The percentage loss from 1080p to 4K is substantial: Low loses 61.4% (from 295.1 to 113.8), Medium loses 66.9% (269.0 to 88.9), High loses 68.1% (177.2 to 56.6), and Ultra loses 68.5% (106.5 to 33.6). The consistency of this drop — roughly two-thirds of performance lost at 4K regardless of preset — indicates that the RTX 4070 becomes the limiting component at higher resolutions. The CPU's strong single-thread performance (Cinebench R23 single-core score of 5003) and multi-core capability (35,443 in the same test) are clearly sufficient to keep up even at the 295.1 FPS observed at 1080p Low; the scaling pattern is characteristic of GPU-bound rendering. The 2010 release date of Allods Online suggests modest geometric complexity, but the measured data shows that resolution still imposes a heavy load on the graphics pipeline, with the 4K Ultra preset dropping to 33.6 FPS — a level that would be marginal for smooth gameplay.

Settings Recommendations

Choosing the optimal preset depends on the target resolution and refresh rate. At 1080p, every measured setting exceeds 100 FPS, with even Ultra reaching 106.5 FPS. For high-refresh 1440p monitors, Ultra is still playable at 70.9 FPS, while High offers a comfortable 110.6 FPS. At 4K, the situation changes: High falls to 56.6 FPS, just below the 60 FPS threshold, and Ultra drops to 33.6 FPS, which is not recommended for action-heavy content. Medium at 4K delivers 88.9 FPS, making it the highest preset that maintains a fluid experience. Low at 4K gives 113.8 FPS, but the visual trade-off is unnecessary when Medium provides a 56% higher frame rate than High while still staying above 60. For a balanced experience, the data suggests: 1080p — Ultra (106.5 FPS) or High (177.2 FPS) for maximum refresh; 1440p — Ultra (70.9 FPS) if 60 Hz is the target, otherwise High (110.6 FPS); 4K — Medium (88.9 FPS) as the sweet spot. The large gap between Medium and High at 4K (88.9 vs 56.6, a 36% drop) indicates that the High preset's additional effects impose a steep cost that is not justified by the modest visual gain, making Medium the recommended choice for 4K.

How This Combo Ranks

With a rank of 300 out of 1715 combos, this configuration sits comfortably in the upper echelon for Allods Online. The CPU's average benchmark score of 54,097 places it just 0.6% below the AMD Ryzen 9 9900X (score 54,450) and 1.1% below the Ryzen 9 9900X3D (54,681), while outperforming the Intel Xeon Phi 7290 by 1.2% (53,469) and the AMD EPYC 7313P by 1.7% (53,206). The GPU's average benchmark score of 37,283 is similarly competitive: it trails the AMD Radeon RX Vega 56 by 0.6% (37,507), the NVIDIA GeForce MX570 A by 1.9% (38,008), and the RTX 4080 Mobile by 2.2% (38,135), but leads the AMD Radeon RX 5300M by 2.5% (36,371). These narrow margins indicate that the i7-14700F and RTX 4070 are well-matched to their immediate peers, and the high combo rank reflects the synergy between the CPU's 20-core, 28-thread design and the GPU's 5nm Ada Lovelace architecture. The measured FPS at 1440p and 1080p are especially strong, with 1440p High reaching 110.6 FPS and 1080p Medium hitting 269.0 FPS, demonstrating that this pairing excels in the resolutions most commonly used by gamers.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 is built on the AD104 chip with 5nm process, featuring 12 GB of GDDR6X memory on a 192-bit bus, yielding a bandwidth of 504.2 GB/s. Its base clock is 1920 MHz and boost clock is 2475 MHz, with a TDP of 200 W. In Allods Online, the GPU's role is evident from the resolution scaling: at 4K, the frame rate drops to 56.6 FPS on High and 33.6 FPS on Ultra, while at 1080p the same settings produce 177.2 and 106.5 FPS respectively. This pattern shows that the RTX 4070 is the primary bottleneck at high resolutions, but it still delivers playable frame rates up to 1440p Ultra. The GPU's 12 GB VRAM is more than adequate for this 2010 title, as evidenced by the lack of any memory-related stutter or frame drops in the measured data. The memory bandwidth of 504.2 GB/s supports the high pixel throughput required at 4K, though the 33.6 FPS at Ultra indicates that raw shading power is the limiting factor. The GPU's benchmark scores — 3DMark Steel Nomad 3854, Geekbench OpenCL 168006, Vulkan 157352, and Passmark G3D 26927 — place it in the 81st percentile among all GPUs, which aligns with its strong but not top-tier performance in this game. The RTX 4070's 5888 shading units and 184 texture mapping units provide ample compute for the game's effects, but the measured FPS at 4K Ultra shows that even a modern mid-high-end GPU struggles with the combined load of resolution and ultra settings in this older MMORPG. For players targeting 4K, the data recommends Medium settings to stay above 60 FPS, while 1440p and 1080p allow Ultra with comfortable margins.
