Minimum

The benchmark data for Minimum with the Intel Core Ultra 9 275HX and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Mobile shows a wide frame-rate spread: 199 FPS at 1080p Low down to 34 FPS at 4K Ultra. The combo ranks 2051 out of 3712 tested configurations, placing it in the middle of the database. The CPU and GPU are both high-percentile parts individually, but the game, a third-person shooter released on 2014-06-25, does not translate that raw power into a top-tier result.

CPU Role

The Intel Core Ultra 9 275HX is a 24-core, 24-thread processor from the Arrow Lake-HX family, with a base clock of 2.70 GHz and a boost clock of 5.40 GHz. Its TDP is 55 W, and it uses a 3 nm process with a 36 MB shared L3 cache. In synthetic benchmarks, the CPU scores 35589 in Cinebench R23 multi-core and 2204 in single-core, along with 20795 Geekbench multi-core and 2458 single-core. The average benchmark score is 67469, placing it in the 94th percentile of all CPUs. Its nearest rivals are the Intel Xeon w5-3525 (average score 67673, delta -0.3%), the AMD EPYC 4484PX (67822, delta -0.5%), and the AMD Ryzen Threadripper PRO 5955WX (67868, delta -0.6%).

For a title released in 2014, the CPU's high core count is largely irrelevant; the game likely uses only a handful of threads. The 5.40 GHz boost clock and strong single-core scores are more important. The Geekbench single-core score of 2458 and Cinebench R23 single-core of 2204 indicate excellent per-thread performance, which is what a 2014 shooter needs to feed the GPU at high frame rates. The measured FPS at 1080p Low is 199, which is a clear sign that the CPU is not a limiting factor at that resolution. At 4K Low, the FPS drops to 69, a reduction that aligns with the GPU's increased workload rather than any CPU limitation. The CPU's memory bandwidth of 102.4 GB/s and dual-channel DDR5 support are also part of the platform, but they are not likely to be a constraint in this old game.

FAQ

Q: What is the highest frame rate this combo achieves?

A: The highest measured average FPS is 199, achieved at 1920x1080 with Low settings. The next highest is 152 FPS at 1080p Medium, followed by 128 FPS at 1080p High.

Q: Can the system maintain 60 FPS at 4K?

A: At 3840x2160, only the Low preset reaches an average of 69 FPS. Medium is 53 FPS, High is 44, and Ultra is 34. So for 4K, only Low is above the 60 FPS threshold.

Q: How does this combo rank against other tested systems?

A: The combo ranks 2051 out of 3712 in this game. The CPU is in the 94th percentile and the GPU is in the 75th percentile, but the overall rank is lower than either of those positions, suggesting the game does not fully leverage these components.

Q: What are the GPU's closest competitors in the database?

A: The RTX 5070 Mobile has an average benchmark score of 29928. The closest rival is the RTX 3070 Ti with a score of 29945 (delta -0.1%), followed by the RTX 2080 Ti (29783, delta +0.5%) and the AMD Radeon RX 6800 (30095, delta -0.6%).

Q: Does the CPU bottleneck the game at any point?

A: The data does not indicate a CPU bottleneck. At 1080p Low, the combo reaches 199 FPS, and the CPU's high single-core scores (2204 Cinebench R23) are more than adequate. The FPS drop from 1080p to 4K follows a pattern consistent with GPU load, not CPU limitation.

Q: What is the game's release date and genre?

A: The game is a third-person shooter released on 2014-06-25. Its age explains why a modern 24-core CPU does not produce a top ranking, as the game likely cannot utilize more than a few cores.

Resolution Scaling

The measured FPS values show a clear scaling pattern. At Low settings, the average FPS is 199 at 1920x1080, 128 at 2560x1440, and 69 at 3840x2160. At High settings, the values are 128, 82, and 44 respectively. For Ultra, the numbers are 97, 63, and 34. The drops between each resolution step are similar across presets, which indicates that the GPU is the component that scales with resolution. The CPU's workload does not increase with resolution, so the frame rate declines as the GPU's rendering load increases.

The medium preset is the only one that provides minimum and maximum FPS values. At 1080p, the average is 152 with a min of 129 and max of 175. At 1440p, the average is 98 with a min of 83 and max of 113. At 4K, the average is 53 with a min of 45 and max of 61. The minimum values are close to the averages, suggesting stable frame pacing, but the 4K minimum of 45 FPS is below the 60 FPS target.

The 4K performance is notably weak: even the Low preset only reaches 69 FPS, and the Ultra preset falls to 34 FPS. The GPU's 8 GB GDDR7 memory and 384.0 GB/s bandwidth are likely taxed at 4K, especially with higher settings. The game's age may also limit the efficiency of the modern GPU architecture, as the Blackwell 2.0 architecture is optimized for newer titles.

How This Combo Ranks

The combo rank of 2051 out of 3712 places this system in the lower half of tested configurations. This is lower than what the CPU and GPU percentiles alone would suggest. The CPU's 94th percentile and the GPU's 75th percentile are both strong, but the game's rank indicates that the pair does not deliver a competitive result in this specific title.

The CPU's nearest rivals in the database are all server or workstation parts: the Intel Xeon w5-3525 (0.3% lower average), the AMD EPYC 4484PX (0.5% lower), and the Intel Xeon 6515P (0.7% higher). These are not gaming-focused chips, which reinforces the idea that the game does not benefit from the CPU's extreme multi-core performance. The GPU's nearest rivals are the RTX 3070 Ti (0.1% higher), RTX 2080 Ti (0.5% lower), and RX 6800 (0.6% higher), all of which are desktop parts with different power envelopes. The RTX 5070 Mobile is a mobile GPU with a TDP of 50 W, which is far lower than any of its rivals, but that TDP is not a direct measure of performance.

The rank suggests that other combos in the database, possibly with older or lower-end CPUs but with higher-end GPUs, achieve better frame rates in this game. The data indicates that the CPU is not the limiting factor, so the GPU's absolute performance is more important for this title. The fact that the GPU is a 50 W mobile part likely explains why the 4K Ultra frame rate is only 34 FPS.

Settings Recommendations

Based on the measured FPS, the best preset depends on the target resolution and frame rate.

For 1920x1080, all presets deliver at least 97 FPS. The Ultra preset offers the best visual quality at 97 FPS, while the Low preset provides 199 FPS for high-refresh-rate displays. Medium (152 FPS) and High (128 FPS) are good middle-ground options.

At 2560x1440, the Medium preset (98 FPS) is a strong choice, with the Low preset (128 FPS) for maximum smoothness and High (82 FPS) for better visuals. Ultra at 63 FPS is still above 60 FPS, but it is close to the threshold.

For 3840x2160, only the Low preset (69 FPS) exceeds 60 FPS. Medium (53 FPS) may be acceptable with adaptive sync, but High (44 FPS) and Ultra (34 FPS) are below the 60 FPS target and not recommended for a fast-paced shooter.

The measured minimum FPS data (only available for Medium) shows that at 1080p the minimum is 129, at 1440p it is 83, and at 4K it is 45. This means that even at 4K Medium, there will be occasional dips below 50 FPS, which can affect responsiveness. Therefore, for a stable 4K experience, the Low preset is the only one that stays above 60 FPS on average.

All values are in FPS. The data shows a consistent pattern: at 1080p, the combo is always above 90 FPS, at 1440p, it is always above 60 FPS (the lowest is 63 for Ultra), and at 4K, only Low reaches 69 FPS. The difference between Low and Ultra is large: at 1080p, Low is 199 and Ultra is 97; at 1440p, Low is 128 and Ultra is 63; at 4K, Low is 69 and Ultra is 34. The gap between the two presets remains similar in relative terms, but the absolute frame rate at 4K Ultra is too low for smooth play. The RTX 5070 Mobile's performance in this title is clearly limited at higher resolutions, and the CPU's strong scores do not compensate for that.
