# How This Combo Ranks

The Intel Core i7-14700F paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 lands at rank 22 out of 1,715 tested combos in Allods Online. This places the configuration in the top 1.3% of all tested systems, reflecting a pairing that sits comfortably near the apex of current hardware. The ranking is not surprising given the components' individual positions in their respective benchmark hierarchies.

The CPU itself holds the 94th percentile among all processors, with an average benchmark score of 54,097. Its nearest rivals show how tightly clustered the top-tier desktop silicon is: the AMD Ryzen 9 9900X trails by just 0.6%, the AMD Ryzen 9 9900X3D is 1.1% behind, while the Intel Xeon Phi 7290 and AMD EPYC 7313P sit 1.2% and 1.7% ahead, respectively. These sub-2% deltas indicate that the i7-14700F is effectively trading blows with flagship-class hardware in synthetic workloads, despite its more modest positioning in the product stack.

On the graphics side, the RTX 5090 also occupies the 94th percentile among all GPUs, with an average benchmark score of 84,306. The nearest rival data reveals an interesting anomaly: the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 D scores 0.1% higher, while the RTX 5050 Mobile—a laptop part—is 0.2% ahead in the aggregate benchmark. The AMD Radeon PRO W6600 sits 1.3% behind, and the NVIDIA CMP 40HX is actually 1.6% faster in the benchmark aggregate. This clustering suggests that at the very top of the GPU stack, synthetic averages converge, but in-game performance tells a more nuanced story.

The combo's rank 22 placement reflects the reality that Allods Online, a title from 2010, is heavily dependent on single-thread CPU performance and does not scale infinitely with GPU horsepower. The measured frame rates confirm that this pairing delivers exceptional headroom across all settings and resolutions, with the system never dropping below 53.2 FPS even at 4K Ultra. That said, the rank also implies that 21 other combinations—likely featuring CPUs with even stronger single-core performance—manage to edge out this configuration in this specific MMORPG.

FAQ

Q: How does the Intel Core i7-14700F compare to its nearest rival, the AMD Ryzen 9 9900X?

A: The i7-14700F's average benchmark score of 54,097 is 0.6% lower than the Ryzen 9 9900X's 54,450, making the two effectively equivalent in aggregate synthetic performance. The gap is within typical run-to-run variance.

Q: Is the RTX 5090 the fastest GPU in the benchmark database?

A: No. While the RTX 5090 holds the 94th percentile among all GPUs, its average benchmark score of 84,306 is 1.6% lower than the NVIDIA CMP 40HX, which scores 85,637. The RTX 5090 D also edges it out by 0.1%.

Q: What frame rate can I expect at 1440p with High settings?

A: The measured data shows an average of 159.6 FPS at 2560x1440 with High settings. This represents a comfortable triple-digit experience that is well above typical display refresh rates.

Q: Does the RTX 5090's 32 GB of VRAM matter for Allods Online?

A: In this 2010 MMORPG, the 32 GB GDDR7 frame buffer is far beyond what the game can utilize. The memory bandwidth of 1.79 TB/s and 512-bit bus are similarly overkill, as the game's rendering demands are modest by modern standards.

Q: How does the CPU's single-thread performance influence this game?

A: The i7-14700F scores 5,003 in Cinebench R23 single-core and 2,711 in Geekbench single-core. For an older MMORPG like Allods Online, which typically relies on a few primary threads, these strong single-thread scores are likely the primary driver of the high frame rates observed.

Q: What is the weakest performance point for this combo?

A: The lowest measured average is 53.2 FPS at 4K Ultra settings. While this is still playable, it represents a significant drop from the 81.9 FPS at 4K High, indicating that Ultra presets impose a heavy rendering cost.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 brings a massive specification sheet to Allods Online, though the game's age means much of its capability goes underutilized. The GPU is built on the Blackwell 2.0 architecture with a 5 nm process from TSMC, packing 92,200 million transistors across a 750 mm² die. Its 32 GB of GDDR7 memory operates on a 512-bit bus, delivering 1.79 TB/s of bandwidth—a figure that dwarfs the requirements of a 2010 MMORPG.

Clock speeds see a base of 2017 MHz and a boost of 2407 MHz, with memory running at 1750 MHz base, translating to 28 Gbps effective. The compute resources are equally generous: 21,760 shading units, 680 texture mapping units, and 176 raster output pipelines. Ray tracing hardware includes 170 RT cores and 680 tensor cores, while the card achieves 104.8 TFLOPS of FP32 performance and the same figure for FP16. Pixel rate is 423.6 GPixel/s, and texture rate reaches 1,636.8 GTexel/s.

In the measured FPS data, the GPU's role becomes clear through scaling behavior. At 1080p Low, the combo hits 295.8 FPS, which is likely near the CPU's limit for this game. The RTX 5090's raw power only becomes a bottleneck at 4K Ultra, where the frame rate drops to 53.2 FPS. The GPU's passmark G3D score of 39,650 and 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 14,411 confirm its top-tier status, but Allods Online simply does not stress the card's capabilities in most scenarios. The 575 W TDP and dual-slot cooler indicate a power-hungry design, but the data show that even this extreme hardware produces playable results across the board.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The measured frame rates span three resolutions and four settings tiers, providing a complete picture of performance. At 1920x1080, the combo delivers 295.8 FPS on Low, 270.1 FPS on Medium, 227.5 FPS on High, and 160.9 FPS on Ultra. The spread from Low to Ultra represents a 45.6% reduction in frame rate, indicating that even at 1080p, the Ultra preset imposes significant rendering costs.

Moving to 2560x1440, the results remain strong: 252.3 FPS on Low, 232.6 FPS on Medium, 159.6 FPS on High, and 99.1 FPS on Ultra. The drop from Low to Ultra at this resolution is 60.7%, showing that the gap widens as pixel count increases. The 1440p High result of 159.6 FPS is nearly identical to the 1080p Ultra result of 160.9 FPS, suggesting that resolution scaling and settings scaling trade off in predictable ways.

At 3840x2160, the performance curve steepens considerably. Low settings yield 167.8 FPS, Medium drops to 133.3 FPS, High falls to 81.9 FPS, and Ultra bottoms out at 53.2 FPS. The difference between Low and Ultra at 4K is a stark 68.3% reduction. Notably, the 4K Low result is actually lower than the 1080p Ultra result, highlighting that resolution is the dominant factor in frame rate reduction once pixel count doubles.

The data reveals no min or max FPS figures, so only averages are available for analysis. Across all 12 measured configurations, the system never dips below 53.2 FPS, which is the sole sub-60 result. The median of all measured averages is approximately 195 FPS, indicating that the typical experience with this combo is exceptionally smooth.

Resolution Scaling

The transition from 1080p to 4K provides clear insight into where the bottleneck lies for this configuration. At Low settings, the frame rate drops from 295.8 FPS at 1080p to 252.3 FPS at 1440p (a 14.7% reduction), and then to 167.8 FPS at 4K (a 43.3% reduction from 1080p). This scaling pattern indicates that at Low settings, the CPU is still the primary limiter at 1080p, but the GPU begins to take over as resolution increases.

At Medium settings, the scaling is similar: 270.1 FPS at 1080p, 232.6 FPS at 1440p (13.9% lower), and 133.3 FPS at 4K (50.6% lower). The High settings tier shows a more pronounced drop: 227.5 FPS at 1080p, 159.6 FPS at 1440p (29.9% lower), and 81.9 FPS at 4K (64.0% lower). This accelerating decline suggests that High settings introduce enough shading and texture work to make the GPU the dominant constraint even at 1440p.

The Ultra tier exhibits the steepest scaling curve: 160.9 FPS at 1080p, 99.1 FPS at 1440p (38.4% lower), and 53.2 FPS at 4K (66.9% lower). The near-linear relationship between pixel count and frame rate at Ultra settings—where 4K has roughly 4.4x the pixels of 1080p but delivers about one-third the frame rate—indicates that the RTX 5090 is the limiting component in this configuration.

The interpretation is straightforward: at 1080p and lower settings, the i7-14700F's single-thread performance caps frame rates around 300 FPS. As resolution and settings increase, the GPU's workload grows, and the RTX 5090's immense compute resources are progressively engaged. The 4K Ultra result of 53.2 FPS, while the weakest measured, still represents a playable experience for an MMORPG, and the data suggest that this combo offers a wide operational envelope where users can prioritize either frame rate or visual fidelity without hitting untenable performance.
