Minimum

The Intel Core Ultra 7 155H paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti delivers a performance profile in Minimum that is heavily dictated by resolution and graphics settings. At 1080p, the combination produces high frame rates that suggest a CPU-bound scenario, while at 4K, the load shifts decisively to the GPU, revealing the limits of this specific mobile processor and desktop graphics card pairing. The data shows a clear scaling pattern that defines the experience across all tested configurations.

Resolution Scaling

The measured FPS data reveals a significant drop in performance as resolution increases from 1920x1080 to 3840x2160. At High settings, the average frame rate falls from 150 FPS at 1080p to 97 FPS at 1440p, and finally to 52 FPS at 4K. This represents a 65% reduction in frame rate from the lowest to the highest resolution tested, indicating that the rendering load grows exponentially with pixel count. The scaling is consistent across all settings presets, though the magnitude of the drop varies.

At Low settings, the frame rate plummets from 234 FPS at 1080p to 151 FPS at 1440p, then to 81 FPS at 4K. The 1080p to 1440p transition shows a 35% decrease, while the 1440p to 4K step brings another 46% reduction. This pattern suggests that even at the lowest graphical fidelity, the GPU becomes the primary bottleneck as resolution climbs. The fact that 4K Low still manages 81 FPS indicates that the RTX 5070 Ti retains substantial headroom, but the scaling curve demonstrates that pixel throughput is the defining constraint at higher resolutions.

Medium settings follow the same trajectory, with 179 FPS at 1080p, 116 FPS at 1440p, and 62 FPS at 4K. The Medium preset also provides the only recorded minimum and maximum FPS values in the data set, showing a range of 152 to 206 FPS at 1080p and 53 to 72 FPS at 4K. These ranges indicate that while average performance is solid, frame time consistency degrades as resolution increases, with the 4K minimum of 53 FPS representing a 14% dip below the average.

Ultra settings produce the steepest decline, starting at 115 FPS at 1080p, dropping to 74 FPS at 1440p, and reaching just 40 FPS at 4K. The 4K Ultra result is the lowest recorded figure in the entire data set, falling below the 30 FPS threshold for playability on some displays. This suggests that Ultra settings at 4K are beyond the practical capabilities of this combination, while 1440p Ultra remains viable at 74 FPS.

The scaling behavior indicates that at 1080p, the CPU plays a more significant role in limiting performance, as the GPU has enough headroom to render frames quickly. As resolution increases, the GPU workload expands, and the RTX 5070 Ti becomes the dominant factor. The data shows that the transition from 1080p to 1440p costs roughly 35-40% performance across all settings, while the move to 4K costs another 45-50%, confirming that this game scales predictably with pixel count.

CPU Role

The Intel Core Ultra 7 155H features 16 cores and 22 threads, with a base clock of 3.80 GHz and a boost clock of 4.80 GHz. This Meteor Lake architecture processor, built on a 7 nm process, includes 24 MB of shared L3 cache and supports DDR5 memory with dual-channel bandwidth of 89.6 GB/s. These specifications position it as a capable mobile processor, ranking in the 83rd percentile among all CPUs tested on this platform.

In Minimum, the CPU's influence is most apparent at 1080p, where the frame rates exceed 150 FPS on High settings and reach 234 FPS on Low. These high figures suggest that the processor can feed the GPU with sufficient draw calls and game logic updates to maintain competitive frame rates. The 16-core configuration, with its 22 threads, provides ample parallelism for the game's engine, though the 28 W TDP indicates a power-constrained mobile design that may limit sustained performance.

The benchmark results for this CPU show a Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 15028 and a single-core score of 1743. These figures place it in the same performance tier as the Intel Core i5-14600T, which has a nearly identical average benchmark score of 32707 compared to the 155H's 32697, a delta of 0%. The AMD Ryzen AI 7 PRO 360 and AMD Ryzen 5 7400F are also close rivals, with deltas of 0.1% and -0.2% respectively. This indicates that the CPU's computational throughput is competitive with mid-range desktop and high-end mobile parts.

At higher resolutions, the CPU's role diminishes as the GPU becomes the bottleneck. The 4K results show much lower frame rates across all settings, indicating that the processor has sufficient headroom to handle the game's logic without becoming the limiting factor. The PassMark multi-thread score of 24873 and single-thread score of 3468 support this conclusion, as the CPU demonstrates strong performance in both threaded and single-threaded workloads.

The 155H's integrated Arc Xe-LPG 128EU graphics are present, but the discrete RTX 5070 Ti handles all rendering in this test configuration. The CPU's memory bandwidth of 89.6 GB/s, while lower than what desktop platforms offer, does not appear to constrain performance in Minimum, as the frame rates at 1080p remain high. Overall, the data suggests that this CPU is well-matched to the GPU at 1080p and 1440p, but at 4K, the processor's capabilities are largely irrelevant to the final frame rate.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti is the dominant component in this pairing, particularly at higher resolutions. This Blackwell 2.0 architecture GPU, built on a 5 nm process by TSMC, features 8960 shading units, 280 texture mapping units, and 96 raster output units. It comes equipped with 16 GB of GDDR7 memory on a 256-bit bus, delivering a bandwidth of 896.0 GB/s. The GPU's boost clock of 2452 MHz and base clock of 2295 MHz contribute to its raw compute throughput of 43.94 TFLOPS in both FP32 and FP16 modes.

The GPU's 70 ray tracing cores and 280 tensor cores provide hardware acceleration for advanced rendering techniques, though the measured FPS data in Minimum does not specifically isolate ray tracing performance. The 16 GB VRAM capacity ensures that memory capacity is not a limiting factor at any resolution or settings combination tested, as the game's texture and geometry requirements are well within this allocation.

The RTX 5070 Ti ranks in the 86th percentile among all GPUs, with an average benchmark score of 49957. Its nearest rivals in benchmark performance include the AMD Radeon RX Vega 64, which scores 50001 (a -0.1% delta), and the Intel Arc A550M, which scores 49737 (a 0.4% delta). The AMD Radeon RX 6900 XT and RX 6800 XT show deltas of -2% and 3.1% respectively, indicating that the RTX 5070 Ti sits in a competitive performance bracket.

In Minimum, the GPU's role becomes increasingly critical as resolution rises. At 4K Ultra, the 40 FPS average demonstrates the GPU's limitations when pushed to maximum fidelity at the highest pixel count. The 4K Medium result of 62 FPS shows that reducing settings provides a 55% performance uplift, while 4K Low achieves 81 FPS, a 102% improvement over Ultra. These figures illustrate the GPU's scaling with settings, where each step down in quality yields substantial frame rate gains.

The GPU's memory bandwidth of 896.0 GB/s is particularly relevant at 4K, where large texture sets and high-resolution buffers require rapid data transfer. The 256-bit memory bus and GDDR7 memory provide sufficient throughput to maintain playable frame rates at Medium and Low settings, while Ultra settings at 4K exceed the GPU's capability. The pixel rate of 235.4 GPixel/s and texture rate of 686.6 GTexel/s indicate that the GPU can process a high volume of pixels and textures, but the 4K Ultra result shows that the game's demands at maximum settings outpace these capabilities.
