Roblox

The measured data for Roblox on the Intel Core Ultra 7 165H with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 shows a system that can handle the game at a wide range of resolutions and presets. The dataset includes average FPS for 1080p, 1440p, and 4K at Low, Medium, High, and Ultra settings, with minimum and maximum FPS recorded for the Medium preset at each resolution. The CPU sits in the 84th percentile of all processors tested, while the GPU sits in the 81st percentile of all GPUs. Yet the combined combination ranks 1990 out of 3711 tested in this game, a position that suggests the game’s engine does not fully leverage the hardware’s raw strength. The following sections break down the measured performance, the GPU’s role, and what the ranking means for practical use.

Resolution Scaling

The measured FPS values show a consistent decline as resolution increases from 1080p to 4K. At Low settings, the average frame rate goes from 364 FPS at 1080p, down to 243 FPS at 1440p, and then to 138 FPS at 4K. At Medium, the numbers are 332 FPS at 1080p, 221 FPS at 1440p, and 125 FPS at 4K. High settings produce 293 FPS at 1080p, 196 FPS at 1440p, and 111 FPS at 4K. Ultra settings start at 238 FPS at 1080p, drop to 159 FPS at 1440p, and reach 90 FPS at 4K. The pattern is consistent: each jump in resolution costs a noticeable amount of performance, but even the heaviest preset (Ultra at 4K) stays above 90 FPS, which is a playable level.

The Medium preset is the only one that includes minimum and maximum FPS data. At 1080p, the minimum is 282 FPS and the maximum is 381 FPS, giving a range that indicates a stable frame delivery. At 1440p, the range is 188 to 254 FPS. At 4K, the range is 106 to 144 FPS. The fact that the minimum at 4K Medium is 106 FPS means the system does not drop below the 100 FPS threshold even when the scene is busy, which is a strong indicator that the GPU has headroom for the game’s typical load.

The scaling from 1080p to 1440p is similar in magnitude to the scaling from 1440p to 4K, based on the numbers. For example, at High settings, the difference between 1080p and 1440p is about 97 FPS, and the difference between 1440p and 4K is about 85 FPS. That consistency suggests the GPU is the primary factor at these resolutions, rather than the CPU, which has 16 cores and 22 threads. The CPU’s high Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 14,551 also points to a processor that can feed the GPU without becoming a bottleneck in a game like Roblox.

Settings Recommendations

When deciding which preset to use, the Medium preset stands out as the best balance across all three resolutions. At 1080p, Medium delivers 332 FPS, which is only 32 FPS below Low’s 364 FPS, but with better visual quality. High at 1080p gives 304 FPS, and Ultra gives 238 FPS. At 1440p, Medium’s 221 FPS is 22 FPS lower than Low’s 243 FPS, but it is 25 FPS higher than High’s 196 FPS and 62 FPS higher than Ultra’s 159 FPS. At 4K, Medium’s 125 FPS is 13 FPS below Low’s 138 FPS, but it is 14 FPS above High’s 111 FPS and 35 FPS above Ultra’s 90 FPS. Medium’s advantage is consistent: it stays close to Low in frame rate while offering a more refined look.

Low settings are the fastest option, but the gain over Medium is modest. At 1080p, Low is only 32 FPS faster than Medium, and at 1440p the gap is 22 FPS. At 4K, the gap narrows to 13 FPS. In contrast, Ultra settings come with a significant performance penalty, particularly at 4K where the average drops to 90 FPS. Given that Medium sits between Low and High in terms of visual quality, and its frame rates are only slightly behind Low, it is the recommended preset for a smooth experience without sacrificing too much visual detail. High is a reasonable choice for those who want better visuals than Medium, but it loses about 20 FPS on average across resolutions compared to Medium. Ultra is only recommended for users who prioritize image quality over frame rate, and even then, the 4K Ultra result of 90 FPS may be too low for high-refresh displays.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 is the main driver of these results. Its memory configuration includes 12GB of GDDR6X on a 192-bit bus, with a bandwidth of 504.2 GB/s. The base clock is 1920 MHz, and the boost clock reaches 2475 MHz. These specifications are more than adequate for Roblox, a game that does not typically require high-end graphics resources. The GPU’s benchmark scores reflect its position: it achieves a Passmark G3D score of 26,927 and a 3DMark Steel Nomad score of 3,854. The GPU’s average benchmark score is 37,648, which places it in the 81st percentile of all GPUs. Its nearest rivals include the NVIDIA Tesla P4 with a score of 37,628 (a delta of 0.1% higher) and the AMD Radeon RX Vega 56 with a score of 37,507 (a delta of 0.4% higher). The RTX 4080 Mobile is 1.3% faster with a score of 38,135, while the AMD Radeon PRO W6400 is 1.3% slower with a score of 37,157.

The GPU’s strong memory bandwidth and 12GB of VRAM ensure that even at 4K, the game does not run out of video memory. The measured FPS values at 4K, which range from 90 to 138 depending on settings, are likely limited by the GPU’s shading capacity rather than by memory. The GPU has 5,888 shading units, 184 texture mapping units, and 64 ROPs, all of which contribute to the pixel throughput. The boost clock of 2475 MHz also helps sustain high frame rates in lighter scenes. The CPU’s role is to feed the GPU with data, and with a passmark multi-thread score of 25,933 and a single-thread score of 3,509, the Intel Core Ultra 7 165H is more than capable of keeping up.

The GPU’s 200W TDP and dual-slot design are typical for this class, and the data shows that the combo is well-balanced for a game like this. The GPU’s 81st percentile rank is slightly lower than the CPU’s 84th percentile, but the measured FPS suggests that the GPU is not the only factor. The combination rank of 1990 out of 3711 in the game data indicates that the system performs in the middle of the pack, despite the strong individual components. This is likely due to Roblox’s engine being more dependent on single-threaded performance or other factors, but the GPU’s role is still clear: it handles the resolution scaling without causing a major collapse in frame rate.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The following table lists all measured average FPS values, along with the minimum and maximum for the Medium preset at each resolution.

| 3840x2160 | Low | 138 | - | - |

| 3840x2160 | Medium | 125 | 106 | 144 |

| 3840x2160 | Ultra | 90 | - | - |

| 2560x1440 | High | 196 | - | - |

| 2560x1440 | Low | 243 | - | - |

| 2560x1440 | Medium | 221 | 188 | 254 |

| 2560x1440 | Ultra | 159 | - | - |

| 1920x1080 | High | 304 | - | - |

| 1920x1080 | Low | 364 | - | - |

| 1920x1080 | Medium | 332 | 282 | 381 |

| 1920x1080 | Ultra | 238 | - | - |

At 1080p, the lowest preset (Low) delivers 364 FPS, while Medium gives 332 FPS, High gives 304, and Ultra gives 238. The Medium range at 1080p spans from 282 to 381 FPS, which means the game never drops below 282 FPS even in demanding scenes. At 1440p, Low leads with 243 FPS, followed by Medium at 221, High at 196, and Ultra at 159. The Medium range here is 188 to 254 FPS, so the minimum is still above 180 FPS. At 4K, Low gives 138, Medium gives 125, High gives 111, and Ultra gives 90. The Medium range at 4K is 106 to 144 FPS, which is a solid result for a 4K presentation.

The data shows a consistent pattern: each resolution upgrade reduces the average FPS by a significant amount, but the game remains playable at all presets. The 4K Ultra result of 90 FPS is the lowest measured value, but it is still above the typical 60 FPS floor that many players target. The Medium preset at 4K offers 125 FPS, which is more than enough for a smooth experience. The only set of data that includes minimum and maximum values is the Medium preset, which gives a clearer picture of frame stability. At 1080p, the range is 282-381, at 1440p it is 188-254, and at 4K it is 106-144. These ranges show that the system is not prone to severe frame drops, as the minimum values are still high.

How This Combo Ranks

In the Roblox dataset, this CPU/GPU combination ranks 1990 out of 3711 tested combos. This places it in the middle of the leaderboard, which is surprising given that the CPU is in the 84th percentile and the GPU is in the 81st percentile. The CPU’s nearest rivals include the Intel Core Ultra 5 338H with an average score of 33,989 (a delta of 0.3% higher) and the AMD EPYC 4244P with a score of 34,220 (a delta of 0.4% lower). The GPU’s nearest rivals include the NVIDIA Tesla P4 with a score of 37,628 (a delta of 0.1% higher) and the AMD Radeon RX Vega 56 with a score of 37,507 (a delta of 0.4% higher). These small deltas indicate that the components are on par with other mid-to-high-end parts.

The gap between the high individual percentiles and the mid-tier combo rank suggests that Roblox’s engine does not scale perfectly with raw CPU and GPU power. The game’s performance is likely tied to other factors, such as game-specific engine optimizations or the CPU’s single-thread performance. The Core Ultra 7 165H has a Cinebench R23 single-core score of 1,759 and a Passmark single-thread score of 3,509, which are strong but not top-tier. The GPU’s high memory bandwidth and core count are more than needed for the game, but the game may not fully utilize them. This is a common situation with sandbox games, where the world is composed of simple geometry and the CPU is more important than the GPU.

The rank of 1990 out of 3711 means that about half of the tested combos are faster, and half are slower. This is not a bad result, but it is not a top-tier performance either. Players who want to maximize FPS in this game might consider a faster CPU with higher single-core performance, or a more powerful GPU, but the current setup is still capable of delivering very high frame rates at 1080p and 1440p. At 4K, the performance is still above 90 FPS in the Ultra preset, which is an acceptable level. The data suggests that the GPU is not the limiting factor, but the CPU’s single-thread performance might be holding back the game’s frame rate in some scenarios.
