# Roblox with Intel Core Ultra 5 245 + NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER

The Intel Core Ultra 5 245 combined with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER delivers exceptionally high frame rates in Roblox across all tested resolutions and settings, placing this pairing in the 486th position out of 3010 tested combos (top 16%). The data shows a system that is heavily GPU-bound at 4K but transitions toward CPU limitations at 1080p, with average frame rates ranging from 138 FPS at 4K Ultra to 560 FPS at 1080p Low.

Resolution Scaling

The measured FPS data reveals a clear pattern of performance scaling as resolution increases from 1080p to 4K. At 1080p High, the system produces 450 FPS average, which drops to 300 FPS at 1440p High (a 33% reduction) and further to 170 FPS at 4K High (a 62% reduction from 1080p). This scaling behavior indicates that at 1080p, the frame rate is constrained by the CPU's ability to feed the GPU, while at 4K, the GPU becomes the primary limiting factor.

The Low preset tells a similar story: 560 FPS at 1080p, 374 FPS at 1440p, and 211 FPS at 4K. The gap between 1080p and 1440p Low (186 FPS difference) is larger than the gap between 1440p and 4K Low (163 FPS difference), suggesting that the CPU overhead per frame becomes relatively less significant as resolution increases. At 4K, the RTX 4070 SUPER's rendering workload dominates, and the 12 GB of GDDR6X memory and 504.2 GB/s bandwidth are sufficient to maintain high throughput without memory-related stutters.

The Medium preset provides the only complete min/max data in the measured set, showing 433-586 FPS at 1080p, 289-391 FPS at 1440p, and 163-221 FPS at 4K. The frame time consistency, as indicated by the min/max spread, remains tight across all resolutions, with the 4K Medium spread of 58 FPS being proportionally larger than the 1080p Medium spread of 153 FPS, but this is expected given the higher absolute frame rates at lower resolutions.

Ultra settings produce the lowest frame rates: 365 FPS at 1080p, 244 FPS at 1440p, and 138 FPS at 4K. The scaling from 1080p to 1440p Ultra (121 FPS drop) and from 1440p to 4K Ultra (106 FPS drop) shows a nearly linear relationship with pixel count, reinforcing that the GPU is the dominant constraint at higher resolutions and quality settings. The CPU's 14 cores and 14 threads, with a boost clock of 5.10 GHz, are more than adequate to keep the pipeline full at 1080p, but the RTX 4070 SUPER's 35.48 TFLOPS FP32 compute capability becomes the bottleneck as pixel throughput demands increase.

Settings Recommendations

The measured data indicates that the Medium preset offers the best balance of visual quality and performance for this combination, particularly at higher resolutions. At 1080p Medium, the system averages 509 FPS with a minimum of 433 FPS, which is approximately 13% below the Low preset's 560 FPS average but represents a substantial visual upgrade. The 4K Medium average of 192 FPS with a 163 FPS minimum remains well above the 144 Hz refresh rate that many displays support, making it a comfortable choice for high-refresh-rate gaming.

For users prioritizing maximum frame rates, the Low preset at 1080p delivers 560 FPS average, which exceeds the capabilities of virtually all consumer displays. However, the difference between Low and Medium at 1080p is only 51 FPS (9%), while the visual quality improvement from Medium is typically significant in sandbox games like Roblox, which feature user-generated content with varied geometry and texture complexity. The data suggests that Medium provides the most efficient use of the hardware's capabilities.

The High preset sits between Medium and Ultra in performance, with 450 FPS at 1080p, 300 FPS at 1440p, and 170 FPS at 4K. Compared to Medium, High reduces performance by 8% at 1080p, 12% at 1440p, and 11% at 4K. The incremental visual gains from High to Ultra are typically less noticeable in Roblox's stylized aesthetic, yet Ultra costs an additional 19% performance at 1080p (365 FPS vs 450 FPS), 19% at 1440p (244 FPS vs 300 FPS), and 19% at 4K (138 FPS vs 170 FPS) compared to High.

At 4K, the Ultra preset's 138 FPS average remains playable, but it represents the only setting where the system drops below 144 FPS. For competitive play where response time matters, the Medium preset at 1440p (340 FPS average) or High at 1080p (450 FPS average) offer the best combination of smoothness and visual fidelity. The 4K High setting at 170 FPS is a strong choice for users with high-resolution displays who still want triple-digit frame rates.

CPU Role

The Intel Core Ultra 5 245 features 14 cores and 14 threads, a configuration that provides substantial parallel processing capability for Roblox's physics and game logic. The processor's base clock of 3.50 GHz and boost clock of 5.10 GHz, combined with 24 MB of shared L3 cache and 3 MB of L2 cache per core, delivers strong single-threaded performance that is critical for Roblox's primary game thread. The PassMark single-thread score of 4394 and Cinebench R23 single-core score of 4648 indicate robust per-core performance, which explains why the system maintains such high frame rates at 1080p.

The CPU's multi-threaded capabilities, evidenced by a Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 32924 and PassMark multithread score of 38706, are more than sufficient for Roblox's modest threading requirements. The 90th percentile ranking among all CPUs (avg benchmark score 48995) places this processor in the top 10% of all tested CPUs. Compared to its nearest rivals, the Core Ultra 5 245 sits within 1% of the AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 5755G (49196, -0.4% delta), AMD Ryzen 9 7900 (49228, -0.5% delta), Intel Xeon Gold 5318H (48698, +0.6% delta), and Intel Core i5-14600K (48618, +0.8% delta). This tight clustering indicates that at these performance levels, the CPU is not a differentiator in Roblox.

The 1080p Low preset's 560 FPS average is particularly telling. At this setting, the GPU is underutilized due to minimal rendering work, yet the frame rate does not exceed 560 FPS, suggesting the CPU's per-frame processing time is the limiting factor. The 14 threads are allocated with efficient work distribution, and the 102.4 GB/s dual-channel DDR5 memory bandwidth provides ample data throughput for game asset streaming. The processor's Arrow Lake architecture, built on a 3 nm process by TSMC, offers high instruction efficiency that benefits Roblox's frequent object updates and user-generated script execution.

At 1080p Low, the combo produces 560 FPS, which is 15% higher than the 4K High result of 170 FPS, illustrating the wide performance envelope this system offers. The rank of 486 suggests that while there are 485 faster combos, most of those likely feature higher-tier CPUs and GPUs that may not provide proportionally better Roblox performance given the game's engine characteristics. The data indicates that this combo hits a sweet spot where both components are well-matched, avoiding significant bottlenecking at any resolution.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER, built on the Ada Lovelace architecture with the AD104 chip, provides the rendering horsepower for this system. Its 12 GB of GDDR6X memory on a 192-bit bus delivers 504.2 GB/s of bandwidth, which is ample for Roblox's asset streaming and texture requirements at all tested resolutions. The GPU's boost clock of 2475 MHz and base clock of 1980 MHz, combined with 7168 shading units, 224 texture mapping units, and 80 raster output pipelines, enable the high fill rates necessary for 4K rendering.

The GPU's compute capabilities include 35.48 TFLOPS of FP32 performance and 35.48 TFLOPS of FP16 performance, along with 56 ray tracing cores and 224 tensor cores. While Roblox does not heavily utilize ray tracing, the raw rasterization performance is what drives the high frame rates observed. The 198.0 GPixel/s pixel rate and 554.4 GTexel/s texture rate directly contribute to the system's ability to maintain 170 FPS at 4K High and 138 FPS at 4K Ultra. The GPU's 220 W TDP and dual-slot design with a 16-pin power connector are consistent with its performance class.

The GPU's benchmark results show a PassMark G3D score of 29995 and Geekbench Vulkan score of 205624, reflecting strong DirectX 12 and Vulkan performance. At 4K, the GPU becomes the primary bottleneck, as evidenced by the 62% frame rate reduction from 1080p High to 4K High. The 83rd percentile ranking among all GPUs indicates that this is a high-performing card, but its nearest rivals include mobile variants and professional cards, suggesting that in Roblox specifically, the GPU's memory bandwidth and compute throughput are sufficient to avoid being the limiting factor at lower resolutions.
