GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 Mobile is an Ada Lovelace part built on a 5 nm process, with 35,800 million transistors on a 294 mm² die and a transistor density of 121.8M / mm². Its base clock is 1290 MHz and its boost clock is 1665 MHz. The GPU has 7424 shading units, 232 TMUs, 80 ROPs, 58 RT cores, and 232 tensor cores. Pixel rate is 133.2 GPixel/s, texture rate is 386.3 GTexel/s, and FP32 throughput is 24.72 TFLOPS.

Memory is 12 GB of GDDR6 on a 192-bit bus at 2250 MHz, listed as 18 Gbps effective, producing 432.0 GB/s of bandwidth. The GPU TDP is 110 W. In synthetic benchmarks, the GPU's PassMark G3D score is 24926, its PassMark GPU compute score is 11191, and its avgBenchmarkScore is 38135. It sits at the 81st percentile among all GPUs.

In Microsoft Flight Simulator, the GPU's role is visible in the settings ladder. At 3840x2160, the Low preset averages 90 FPS, Medium averages 70 FPS, High averages 53 FPS, and Ultra averages 50 FPS. The 4K Medium row is the only 4K row with min/max data, showing a minimum of 59 and a maximum of 80. The 12 GB framebuffer and 432.0 GB/s bandwidth are paired with a GPU that can reach 90 FPS at 4K Low, but the Ultra preset brings the average down to 50. The measured FPS values scale with the preset in a straightforward way, with no anomaly in the recorded rows.

How This Combo Ranks

The game-specific rank for this CPU/GPU combination is 1205 out of 3714 tested combos in Microsoft Flight Simulator. This is not a top-tier placement, but a large portion of the tested field sits behind this combination.

The component-level synthetic standing is stronger than the in-game rank might suggest. The CPU is at the 87th percentile among all CPUs, and the GPU is at the 81st percentile among all GPUs. The in-game rank of 1205 out of 3714 reflects this title's behavior with this exact pairing rather than an obviously weak component.

The CPU's nearestRivals show how dense the synthetic field is. Intel Core 7 253PE, Intel Core 5 223PE, AMD Ryzen 9 7940H, and Intel Xeon 6507P sit within an avgScore range of 40426 to 40585, with deltaPct values from -0.2 to 0.2. The GPU's nearestRivals are similarly close in avgScore: NVIDIA GeForce MX570 at 38299, RTX 5080 Mobile at 38349, RTX 4070 at 37648, and Tesla P4 at 37628, with deltaPct values from -0.6 to 1.3. Given that the synthetic neighbors are nearly matched, the combo's 1205 rank is a game-specific result.

The 1080p rows are the fastest in every preset. Low averages 151 FPS, Medium averages 118, High averages 88, and Ultra averages 84. At 1440p, Low averages 122, Medium averages 95, High averages 71, and Ultra averages 68. At 4K, Low averages 90, Medium averages 70, High averages 53, and Ultra averages 50.

The only rows with recorded minimums and maximums are the Medium rows. The Medium minimums are 100 at 1080p, 81 at 1440p, and 59 at 4K; the Medium maximums are 135 at 1080p, 109 at 1440p, and 80 at 4K. Since no other setting row has min/max data, average FPS is the only complete comparison across all settings. The ordering is consistent: for each resolution, Low averages higher than Medium, Medium higher than High, and High higher than Ultra.

Settings Recommendations

At 3840x2160, the Medium preset is the strongest measured choice for a balanced experience. It has an average of 70 FPS, with a minimum of 59 and a maximum of 80. The two higher presets, High and Ultra, average 53 and 50 respectively, which are lower than the Medium average. Low averages 90 at 4K, but it sits below Medium in the quality ladder and sacrifices visual detail.

At 2560x1440, Ultra remains viable with a 68 FPS average, while High averages 71 and Medium averages 95. The Medium row has the only recorded min/max data for 1440p, with a minimum of 81, so it is the most defensible choice if frame-time stability is the main concern. For users who want the highest preset position, 1440p Ultra still averages higher than 4K High: 68 versus 53.

At 1920x1080, even the Ultra preset averages 84 FPS, and High averages 88. Medium averages 118 with a minimum of 100, making it the row with the strongest documented floor at that resolution. Low reaches 151 FPS, but it uses the lowest settings. Based on the measured rows, Medium at 1080p offers both a high average and an explicit minimum of 100 FPS; Ultra is also a reasonable option for users who prefer maximum quality over the Medium row's documented stability.

CPU Role

The Intel Core Ultra X7 368H is a Panther Lake part built on a 3 nm process. It has 16 cores and 16 threads, meaning the thread count matches the physical core count. Base clock is 2.00 GHz, boost clock is 5.00 GHz, and the TDP is 25 W. The cache hierarchy is 192 KB L1 per core, 2.5 MB L2 per core, and 18 MB shared L3. Memory support is LPDDR5X dual-channel at 153.6 GB/s. The CPU connects via PCIe Gen 5 with 4 CPU lanes and uses Intel BGA 2540.

The synthetic CPU results are strong in both single-thread and multi-thread tests. Cinebench R23 single-core is 3984 and multi-core is 28221; Cinebench R20 single-core is 1673 and multi-core is 11852; Cinebench R15 single-core is 401 and multi-core is 2844. PassMark reports single-thread 4005, multithread 32956, physics 2857, integer math 88083, floating point math 105681, data compression 312927, data encryption 25228, extended instructions 25669, random string sorting 38093, and find prime numbers 321. The CPU's avgBenchmarkScore is 40518, placing it at the 87th percentile among all CPUs.

For Microsoft Flight Simulator, the CPU's single-thread performance is an important part of the measured results. A single-core score of 3984 in Cinebench R23 and a boost clock of 5.00 GHz provide high-frequency execution when the GPU is not the limiting factor. The 1080p Low row illustrates this: the measured average is 151 FPS, the highest FPS value in the dataset. At that setting, the GPU workload is relatively light, and the CPU is still able to drive the fastest recorded average in the table. The 16 physical cores also contribute to the combination's overall throughput, but the single-thread scores are the clearest indicator of why this CPU can support high frame rates at lower resolutions.

Resolution Scaling

The resolution ladder is consistent across all four presets. Low goes from 151 at 1920x1080 to 122 at 2560x1440 to 90 at 3840x2160. Medium goes from 118 to 95 to 70. High goes from 88 to 71 to 53. Ultra goes from 84 to 68 to 50. In every preset, the 1440p average sits between the 1080p and 4K averages, and the 4K average is the lowest.

The Medium rows include min/max data, and their resolution scaling follows the same pattern. The minimum is 100 at 1080p, 81 at 1440p, and 59 at 4K; the maximum is 135 at 1080p, 109 at 1440p, and 80 at 4K. This shows that the lower and upper bounds of the frame rate also scale with resolution.

The pattern points to the RTX 4080 Mobile as the dominant limiter at higher resolutions. At 1080p Low, the combination produces 151 FPS, a result that places relatively little demand on the GPU's rendering load. At 4K Ultra, the same hardware produces 50 FPS. Between those two rows, both resolution and settings increase the GPU workload. The CPU remains the same across all rows, and its nearest synthetic rivals differ by deltaPct values no larger than 0.2. Given that the CPU cluster is essentially flat in synthetic scores, the resolution-driven FPS decrease is best explained by the GPU's rendering load rather than by a change in CPU throughput.
