Minecraft

Minecraft is a sandbox title with a measured-frame-rate dataset for the Intel Core Ultra 9 275HX paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 Mobile. The data spans three resolutions — 1920x1080, 2560x1440, and 3840x2160 — across Low, Medium, High, and Ultra presets. The CPU is a 24-core Arrow Lake-HX mobile processor, and the GPU is a Blackwell 2.0 mobile part with 8 GB GDDR7. In this measured dataset, the fastest average is 399 fps at 1080p Low, and the slowest is 52 fps at 4K Ultra.

Resolution Scaling

The measured FPS rows form a clear pattern:

| Resolution | Low | Medium | High | Ultra |

|---|---:|---:|---:|---:|

| 1920x1080 | 399 | 316 | 251 | 157 |

| 2560x1440 | 252 | 200 | 158 | 99 |

| 3840x2160 | 132 | 104 | 83 | 52 |

Only the Medium preset includes minimum and maximum values. At 1920x1080, Medium averages 316 fps with a min of 269 and a max of 364. At 2560x1440, Medium averages 200 fps with a min of 170 and a max of 229. At 3840x2160, Medium averages 104 fps with a min of 89 and a max of 120.

Resolution scaling is aggressive across every preset. Starting from Low, the average drops from 399 at 1080p to 252 at 1440p, then to 132 at 4K. High moves from 251 to 158 to 83. Medium moves from 316 to 200 to 104. Ultra moves from 157 to 99 to 52. The drop between each step is large enough that the GPU is clearly doing most of the extra work as pixel count increases.

At 1080p Low, the 399 average is close to the ceiling of what a CPU-driven scene can feed before the GPU becomes the more obvious limit. At 4K, the measured averages change substantially with preset — 132 Low, 104 Medium, 83 High, 52 Ultra — which points to the GPU as the main constraint at high resolution. The data does not report min or max values for most rows, so the only frame-time variance available comes from the Medium rows; those show 4K Medium maintaining a 89 fps minimum and 120 fps maximum.

CPU Role

The Intel Core Ultra 9 275HX is built on Arrow Lake-HX and fabricated on a 3 nm process. It has 24 cores and 24 threads, with a base clock of 2.70 GHz and a boost clock of 5.40 GHz. The cache layout is 192 KB L1 per core, 3 MB L2 per core, and 36 MB shared L3. It supports dual-channel DDR5 memory with 102.4 GB/s of bandwidth, and its TDP is 55 W. The integrated GPU is Arc Xe-LPG Graphics 64EU.

In synthetic CPU benchmarks, this processor scores 35589 in Cinebench R23 multi-core and 2204 in Cinebench R23 single-core. Geekbench scores are 20795 multi-core and 2458 single-core. PassMark results include a multithread score of 55759, a single-thread score of 4713, integer math 155218, floating point math 191186, and data compression 608381. The aggregate average benchmark score is 67469, which places the CPU in the 94th percentile of all CPUs.

The nearest rivals in aggregate CPU score are close. The Intel Xeon w5-3525 averages 67673 with a deltaPct of -0.3. The AMD EPYC 4484PX averages 67822 with -0.5. The AMD Ryzen Threadripper PRO 5955WX averages 67868 with -0.6. The Intel Xeon 6515P averages 67006 with +0.7. These are all within a tight band, meaning the 275HX sits in a dense competitive area despite its high percentile.

For Minecraft, the measured 1080p rows show the CPU side of the system is not holding the combo back at low resolution. Low averages 399 fps, Medium 316, High 251, and Ultra 157. Those are high frame rates for a sandbox game, and they line up with the CPU's strong single-core results. The Cinebench R23 single-core score of 2204 and PassMark single-thread score of 4713 are the more relevant numbers for a game that generates most of its work in a few primary threads. The 24-core, 24-thread configuration also produces a very high multi-core score, which helps with background tasks and world processing, but the 1080p frame rates are best explained by the strong single-thread performance.

As resolution climbs, the CPU becomes less visible in the measured results. The 4K Low average of 132 fps is still high, but the larger step between 4K Low and 4K Ultra — 132 down to 52 — is the GPU reacting to the settings load rather than the CPU.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 Mobile uses the GB206 chip on a 5 nm TSMC process. Memory is 8 GB of GDDR7 on a 128-bit bus, with a bandwidth of 384.0 GB/s. The memory clock is listed as 1500 MHz with 24 Gbps effective speed. Core clocks are 952 MHz base and 1455 MHz boost. The GPU has 3328 shading units, 104 TMUs, 48 ROPs, 26 RT cores, and 104 tensor cores. FP32 compute is 9.684 TFLOPS. The TDP is 45 W.

In synthetic GPU benchmarks, the RTX 5060 Mobile scores 18852 in PassMark G3D, 3013.5 in 3DMark Steel Nomad, 96969 in Geekbench OpenCL, and 96451 in Geekbench Vulkan. The aggregate average benchmark score is 22435, placing the GPU in the 67th percentile of all GPUs.

The nearest rivals are similarly positioned. The AMD Radeon RX 7700 XT averages 22549 with a deltaPct of -0.5. The AMD Radeon RX 5700 averages 22170 with +1.2. The AMD Radeon RX 6700S averages 22154 with +1.3. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 Mobile averages 22729 with -1.3. In aggregate score, the 5060 Mobile is effectively between these parts, with the smallest gap being under a point.

In Minecraft, the GPU role becomes clear from the 4K preset spread. At 3840x2160, Low averages 132 fps, Medium 104, High 83, and Ultra 52. The gap from Low to Ultra is huge, and the average falls by roughly a third at each settings step. That is typical of a GPU becoming the limiting component: the CPU is not changing between those rows, so the frame rate drop comes from the GPU workload.

The 8 GB GDDR7 memory and 128-bit memory bus are the specifications behind this behavior, though the measured data does not report VRAM usage. At 1080p, the GPU is not the bottleneck even on Ultra, which holds a 157 average. At 1440p, Ultra averages 99, while Medium averages 200. At 4K, only the lower presets stay comfortably ahead; Ultra sits at 52, the slowest measured result in the entire dataset.

Q: Where does this full combo rank in Minecraft?

A: The combo is ranked 2470 out of 3710 measured combos in Minecraft. The data is marked as measured rather than estimated.

How This Combo Ranks

The combo rank in Minecraft is 2470 out of 3710. That places the system in the lower portion of the tested combo list. Given the CPU's 94th percentile and the GPU's 67th percentile, the synthetic hardware positions look stronger than the Minecraft rank alone might suggest.

The measured frame rates explain the spread. At the high end, 1080p Low hits 399 fps, and 1080p High stays at 251. At the low end, 4K Ultra drops to 52 fps. A rank of 2470 out of 3710 means a majority of tested combos produce a better Minecraft result at the resolutions and presets being compared. The position is consistent with a mobile GPU that sits in the middle of the GPU field and a CPU that is very strong on paper but cannot prevent the GPU from becoming the dominant limit at higher settings.

Because the fact pack does not include individual scores for the other 3709 combos, the rank is best read as a positional signal. The CPU and GPU aggregate scores are known, and the actual Minecraft measurements are known. The combination of a 94th percentile CPU and a 67th percentile GPU produces mid-pack measured results in this game, with the final rank depending heavily on which resolution and preset is used for the comparison.

Settings Recommendations

The measured rows provide clear guidance for choosing a preset. If the goal is maximum frame rate, 1920x1080 Low is the fastest row in the dataset at 399 fps. If visual quality matters more than raw speed, 1920x1080 High still averages 251 fps, and 1920x1080 Ultra averages 157.

At 2560x1440, Medium is the standout measured row. It averages 200 fps with a minimum of 170 and a maximum of 229. The 1440p High row averages 158, while Low averages 252 and Ultra averages 99. Medium at 1440p gives the best combination of a high average and a strong minimum among the 1440p rows.

At 3840x2160, Medium is also the strongest balanced preset. It averages 104 fps with a min of 89 and a max of 120. The High row averages 83, Low averages 132, and Ultra averages 52. If the priority is keeping 4K frame rates as high as possible, Low delivers 132. If the priority is quality without falling to the Ultra result, Medium is the sensible pick from the measured data.

For an overall recommendation based on the measured rows, 2560x1440 Medium gives the best mix of high average frame rate, useful minimum frame rate, and increased resolution over 1080p. For a session focused purely on speed, 1920x1080 Low is the peak. For a quality-oriented 4K session, 3840x2160 Medium is the highest preset in the dataset that stays above the 4K High average with a comfortable margin in the measured rows.
