Minimum

Measured FPS Breakdown

The recorded measurements for this combination of Intel Core Ultra 7 265 and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070 SUPER cover three resolutions and four quality presets. At 1920x1080, the data shows a wide spread of frame rates. Low settings produce an average of 188 FPS, which is the highest recorded value for this combo across any resolution. Medium settings average 144 FPS, with a minimum of 122 FPS and a maximum of 165 FPS. High settings average 121 FPS, while Ultra settings drop to an average of 92 FPS. The minimum values are not recorded for High, Low, or Ultra at this resolution, but the Medium preset provides the only complete min/max range.

Moving to 2560x1440, the averages step down noticeably. Low settings still deliver an average of 121 FPS, which matches the 1080p High result exactly. Medium settings average 93 FPS, with a minimum of 79 FPS and a maximum of 106 FPS. High settings average 78 FPS. Ultra settings fall to an average of 59 FPS, which sits just below the 60 FPS playability threshold used in this database. At this resolution, only the Medium preset includes minimum and maximum values.

At 3840x2160, the performance curve becomes much steeper. Low settings are the only preset to clear the 60 FPS threshold, averaging 65 FPS. Medium settings average 50 FPS, with a minimum of 42 FPS and a maximum of 57 FPS. High settings average 42 FPS. Ultra settings average 32 FPS, the lowest recorded figure for this combination. The pattern across all resolutions is consistent: each step up in quality costs a substantial portion of frame rate, and the gap between Low and Ultra grows wider as resolution increases.

CPU and GPU Roles

The benchmark results indicate that the GPU becomes the dominant constraint as resolution climbs, while the CPU headroom in this combo is substantial. At 1920x1080 Low, the system reaches 188 FPS, which suggests that the rendering pipeline is not heavily limited by the processor for this older title. The Intel Core Ultra 7 265 has 20 cores and 20 threads, with a boost clock of 5.30 GHz, and its Cinebench R23 multicore score of 42216 places it in the 93rd percentile among all CPUs. The RTX 2070 SUPER, by contrast, sits in the 65th percentile among all GPUs. This gap in relative standing explains why the frame rate scales so predictably with resolution changes.

When resolution moves from 1920x1080 to 2560x1440 at the same preset, the average FPS drops by roughly 35 to 40 percent depending on settings. For example, High goes from 121 FPS to 78 FPS, and Low goes from 188 FPS to 121 FPS. This scaling pattern is typical of a GPU-bound scenario, where pixel throughput becomes the limiting factor. At 3840x2160, the drop is even more pronounced: High falls from 78 FPS to 42 FPS, and Low falls from 121 FPS to 65 FPS. The Ultra preset shows the steepest relative decline, going from 92 FPS at 1080p to 59 FPS at 1440p and finally to 32 FPS at 4K.

The CPU's role is more visible at lower resolutions and higher frame rates. At 1920x1080 Low, the 188 FPS average is high enough that even a capable processor could become a limiting factor in certain scenes, though the recorded data does not show any obvious CPU bottleneck symptoms such as inconsistent frame pacing. The single-core Cinebench R23 score of 5960 and the PassMark single-thread score of 4689 both indicate strong per-thread performance, which helps maintain high frame rates in a 2014 title that likely relies on fewer threads. The Ultra 7 265's 20 threads provide ample parallel capacity, but the game's age and the GPU's 8 GB of GDDR6 memory and 448.0 GB/s bandwidth are more relevant to the measured results.

How This Combo Ranks

The database ranks this specific combination of CPU and GPU at position 2142 out of 3712 tested combos for Minimum. That places it in the upper half of the field, though not near the top. The percentile data for the individual components helps contextualize this ranking. The CPU sits at the 93rd percentile among all CPUs, while the GPU sits at the 65th percentile among all GPUs. The combo rank being lower than either component's individual percentile suggests that the pairing is somewhat mismatched, with the GPU holding back the CPU's potential in this game.

For comparison, the RTX 2070 SUPER's nearest rivals in the database include the NVIDIA Quadro M4000M, which scores 20480 on the average benchmark, a 1 percent difference relative to the RTX 2070 SUPER's 20282 average score. The Intel Arc B570 scores 20556, a 1.3 percent difference, and the Intel Arc A750 scores 20582, a 1.5 percent difference. These small deltas mean that swapping the GPU for any of these alternatives would produce nearly identical frame rates in this title. On the CPU side, the nearest rivals are the AMD EPYC 4464P with an average score of 64823, a 0.3 percent difference from the Ultra 7 265's 64640, and the Intel Core Ultra 7 265F with a score of 64438, a 0.3 percent difference in the opposite direction. The AMD EPYC 7343 scores 64202, a 0.7 percent difference, and the AMD EPYC 9124 scores 65104, a 0.7 percent difference. Again, these are tiny margins that would not meaningfully alter the measured FPS.

The combo's rank of 2142 out of 3712 corresponds to roughly the 58th percentile of all tested combinations. This means that while the CPU is a high-end part, the overall system lands in the middle of the pack for this game because of the GPU's more modest standing.

Best Settings per Resolution

At 1920x1080, the most demanding preset that stays at or above 60 FPS is Ultra, with an average of 92 FPS. This leaves considerable headroom above the 60 FPS threshold, so players can run the game at maximum quality without concern. Medium settings average 144 FPS, and Low settings average 188 FPS, but Ultra is the recommended choice because it delivers the best visual quality while still clearing the threshold by a wide margin.

At 2560x1440, the most demanding playable preset is High, with an average of 78 FPS. Ultra falls to 59 FPS, just below the threshold, so it is not recommended. Medium averages 93 FPS and Low averages 121 FPS, but High provides the best balance of quality and frame rate. The 18 FPS gap between High and Ultra at this resolution is significant, and the step down from High to Medium only gains 15 FPS, so High is the clear sweet spot.

At 3840x2160, the only playable preset is Low, with an average of 65 FPS. Medium averages 50 FPS, which is 10 FPS below the threshold, and High and Ultra are far behind at 42 and 32 FPS respectively. The jump from Low to Medium costs 15 FPS, which is too much to sacrifice when the threshold is only 5 FPS below the Low average. Low settings are the only viable option for 4K play.

The Verdict

The verdict by resolution is clear. At 1920x1080, this combo can run Minimum at all four presets above 60 FPS, with Ultra averaging 92 FPS. This is a fully playable configuration at maximum settings. At 2560x1440, the system clears 60 FPS on High (78 FPS), Medium (93 FPS), and Low (121 FPS), but Ultra falls short at 59 FPS. Players at 1440p should use High settings for the best experience. At 3840x2160, only Low settings are playable, with an average of 65 FPS. Medium at 50 FPS and higher presets are not recommended because they drop below the 60 FPS threshold.

The data shows that this PC can run Minimum well at 1080p and 1440p, and it can manage 4K only at the lowest quality preset. The CPU is more than capable for this title, as its high benchmark scores and 93rd percentile ranking demonstrate, but the GPU's 65th percentile standing limits the system at higher resolutions. For a game released in 2014, the RTX 2070 SUPER provides adequate performance, but the 4K experience is constrained to Low settings.

Similar Performance Alternatives

The nearest rivals in the database provide useful context for what other hardware would behave similarly. On the GPU side, the NVIDIA Quadro M4000M has an average score of 20480, just 1 percent above the RTX 2070 SUPER's 20282. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Mobile scores 20534, a 1.2 percent difference, and the Intel Arc B570 scores 20556, a 1.3 percent difference. The Intel Arc A750 scores 20582, a 1.5 percent difference. All four of these GPUs would produce nearly identical frame rates in Minimum, with differences of at most a few percent. A system with an RTX 2070 SUPER swapped for any of these cards would land in the same playability brackets at each resolution.

On the CPU side, the AMD EPYC 4464P scores 64823, just 0.3 percent above the Ultra 7 265's 64640. The Intel Core Ultra 7 265F scores 64438, 0.3 percent below, and the AMD EPYC 7343 scores 64202, 0.7 percent below. The AMD EPYC 9124 scores 65104, 0.7 percent above. These are server-class processors, but their benchmark scores are close enough that the choice among them would not change the measured FPS in this game. The combo rank of 2142 out of 3712 would shift by only a few positions at most with any of these swaps.

The practical takeaway is that the CPU has a wide margin of equivalent alternatives, while the GPU's closest rivals are a mix of mobile and desktop parts that cluster within 1.5 percent of each other. For Minimum, none of these alternatives would push the system into a different playability category at any resolution. The 4K Low result at 65 FPS, the 1440p High result at 78 FPS, and the 1080p Ultra result at 92 FPS would all remain essentially unchanged.
