Its nearest rivals in the database are the Intel Core i7-14700K (deltaPct 0), the AMD EPYC 9115 (deltaPct 0.3), the AMD Ryzen 9 9950X (deltaPct -0.4), and the Intel Xeon Platinum 8270 (deltaPct -1.3). The data indicates that the i7-14700KF is effectively tied with the i7-14700K and the EPYC 9115, while marginally trailing the Ryzen 9 9950X by 0.4% and the Xeon Platinum 8270 by 1.3%. For a game like Allods Online, a 2010-released MMORPG, the massive thread count and high boost clocks suggest that CPU-side bottlenecks in crowded player hubs or during complex raid encounters are unlikely to be the primary constraint at most settings, though the game's age might limit how many threads it can actually utilize.

The 28 threads represent substantial parallel processing capability, which is beneficial for background tasks like voice chat, streaming, or game overlays running concurrently with the game client. In terms of raw compute, the Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 44557 and single-core score of 6290 place this processor in a high-performance tier. The single-core performance is particularly relevant for older MMORPGs, which often have single-threaded game logic loops. The Passmark single-thread score of 4480 corroborates this strength. When paired with a mid-range GPU like the RTX 4060, this CPU has ample headroom; the benchmark results will show whether the game's frame rates are more heavily influenced by the GPU's rendering capabilities or the CPU's processing speed, especially at lower resolutions where the CPU's role in frame generation becomes more prominent.

The Geekbench scores (19287 multi-core, 2972 single-core) follow the same pattern, confirming that the CPU offers a balanced high-performance profile that benefits both lightly-threaded game loops and heavily-threaded background tasks.

Resolution Scaling

The measured FPS data reveals a clear pattern of performance degradation as resolution increases. At 1080p with Low settings, the combo achieves an average of 254.9 FPS. Moving to 1440p at the same Low settings, the average drops to 162.2 FPS, a 36% reduction. At 4K with Low settings, the average falls to 82.8 FPS, which is a 67% reduction from the 1080p result and a 49% reduction from the 1440p result. This steep decline indicates that the GPU is becoming the limiting factor as pixel count increases, even at the lowest settings where CPU load is typically higher.

The scaling under Ultra settings tells a similar story but with lower absolute numbers. At 1080p Ultra, the average FPS is 80.2. At 1440p Ultra, it drops to 51 FPS, a 36% reduction. At 4K Ultra, it plummets to 27.9 FPS, a 65% reduction from 1080p. The consistency of the percentage drops across settings (around 36% from 1080p to 1440p and 65-67% from 1080p to 4K) suggests a GPU-bound scenario at higher resolutions. The CPU, with its high single-core score of 6290 in Cinebench R23, appears to have sufficient headroom to feed the GPU at 1080p, but the RTX 4060's rendering throughput becomes the hard limit as resolution climbs. The 4K Ultra result of 27.9 FPS is notably low, indicating that the GPU's 15.11 TFLOPS FP32 performance is insufficient for heavy pixel workloads in this game at maximum settings.

How This Combo Ranks

The combo of the Intel Core i7-14700KF and the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 ranks 890th out of 1715 total tested combos in Allods Online. This ranking places it in the 48th percentile of all system configurations tested, meaning roughly half of the tested combos perform better and half perform worse. Given that the CPU is in the 96th percentile of all CPUs and the GPU is in the 66th percentile of all GPUs, the combo's mid-pack ranking suggests that the game's performance is not strictly determined by the sum of its parts. The CPU's high percentile is not translating to a top-tier combo rank, which implies that the RTX 4060 is the bottleneck in this pairing. The data shows that the game is sensitive to GPU performance, especially at higher resolutions, and the GPU's 66th percentile standing is likely pulling the combo's overall rank down from what the CPU alone would suggest. The deltaPct values for the GPU's rivals (e.g., 0.7% ahead of the Intel Arc B580) are small, indicating that the GPU tier is tightly packed, but the combo rank of 890/1715 reflects that many other systems have more powerful graphics cards paired with high-end CPUs.

Settings Recommendations

The measured data provides clear guidance on which settings preset offers the best balance of visual fidelity and performance. At 1080p, the High preset delivers 125.2 FPS, which is well above the threshold for smooth gameplay on a high-refresh-rate monitor. The Ultra preset at 1080p yields 80.2 FPS, which is still playable but represents a 36% performance loss over High for likely marginal visual gains. For 1440p, the High preset averages 81.5 FPS, providing a solid experience for standard 60Hz displays. The Medium preset at 1440p offers 129 FPS, which is excellent for high-refresh-rate 1440p monitors, but the High preset's 81.5 FPS is more balanced for visual quality. At 4K, the High preset drops to 40.8 FPS, which is below the 60 FPS target for most users, while the Medium preset at 4K yields 66.4 FPS, making it the only 4K preset that achieves a playable frame rate above 60 FPS. The Low preset at 4K (82.8 FPS) is also viable if visual fidelity is not a priority. The optimal recommendation is the High preset at 1080p or 1440p for a balanced experience, or the Medium preset at 4K for those prioritizing resolution over detail. The Ultra preset is not recommended at any resolution, as the 27.9 FPS at 4K Ultra and 51 FPS at 1440p Ultra do not provide a consistently smooth experience, and the data shows that High offers nearly double the frame rate at 1440p (81.5 FPS vs 51 FPS).

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the average frame rates across settings are 254.9 FPS (Low), 201.4 FPS (Medium), 125.2 FPS (High), and 80.2 FPS (Ultra). The progression from Low to Ultra shows a 68.5% drop in performance, with the most significant single-step decline occurring between Medium and High (a 38% reduction from 201.4 to 125.2). At 2560x1440, the averages are 162.2 FPS (Low), 129 FPS (Medium), 81.5 FPS (High), and 51 FPS (Ultra). The drop from Low to Ultra at this resolution is 68.6%, nearly identical to the 1080p percentage. At 3840x2160, the averages are 82.8 FPS (Low), 66.4 FPS (Medium), 40.8 FPS (High), and 27.9 FPS (Ultra). The relative performance between settings remains consistent: Medium is approximately 80% of Low's performance at all resolutions, High is approximately 49% of Low's performance at all resolutions, and Ultra is approximately 33% of Low's performance at all resolutions. This consistent scaling suggests that the settings presets apply a uniform workload increase on the GPU, independent of resolution, further confirming that the GPU is the primary bottleneck. The 1080p Low result of 254.9 FPS indicates that even a mid-range GPU like the RTX 4060 can push this older game to very high frame rates at lower resolutions, but the 4K Ultra result of 27.9 FPS shows the hardware limits when both resolution and settings are maxed out.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060, built on the Ada Lovelace architecture using a 5 nm process at TSMC, features 3072 shading units, 24 RT cores, and 96 tensor cores. Its boost clock is 2460 MHz, and it has a TDP of 115 W. The GPU's memory subsystem consists of 8 GB of GDDR6 on a 128-bit bus, yielding 272.0 GB/s of bandwidth. In the context of Allods Online, the game's release date of 2010-10-25 means it was designed for hardware from that era, so the RTX 4060's modern architecture provides ample raw compute power. The GPU's Passmark G3D score of 19545 and its 66th percentile ranking among all GPUs indicate that it is a solid mid-range performer. The measured FPS data shows that the GPU is the limiting factor at 4K resolutions, where even the Low preset drops to 82.8 FPS from the 254.9 FPS seen at 1080p Low. The GPU's 15.11 TFLOPS FP32 performance is sufficient for 1080p and 1440p gaming at high frame rates, but the 4K Ultra result of 27.9 FPS demonstrates that the card's pixel throughput is not designed for maximum settings at 4K in this title. The 8 GB VRAM is adequate for this game, as the data shows no anomalies or crashes that would suggest memory capacity issues, even at 4K Ultra. The GPU's nearest rivals are all within 0.8% of its average score, indicating that the RTX 4060 sits in a tightly contested performance segment, and its 66th percentile standing means it outperforms the majority of GPUs in the database, making it a capable choice for this MMORPG at resolutions up to 1440p.
