# Roblox with Intel Core Ultra 7 265 + NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti

This combination of Intel's 20-core Core Ultra 7 265 and NVIDIA's RTX 4070 Ti produces exceptional frame rates in Roblox, with the data showing average FPS ranging from 145 at 4K Ultra to 590 at 1080p Low. The combo ranks 377th out of 3010 tested combinations, placing it in the top 12.5% of all systems tested for this sandbox title. The measured results reveal a system that is heavily overqualified for Roblox's demands, but the scaling patterns across resolutions and settings offer interesting insights into where the performance ceiling actually lies.

Settings Recommendations

The measured data provides clear guidance on which preset delivers the optimal experience for this hardware pairing. At 1080p, the difference between Low and Ultra settings is substantial: Low produces 590 FPS, while Ultra delivers 385 FPS — a 205 FPS drop for maximum visual fidelity. However, even at Ultra, the system maintains 385 FPS, which far exceeds the refresh rate capabilities of virtually all mainstream monitors. The Medium preset at 1080p yields 536 FPS with a documented minimum of 456 FPS, suggesting that even in demanding scenes, the frame rate stays well above 400 FPS.

At 1440p, the pattern shifts slightly. Ultra delivers 257 FPS, while High produces 317 FPS and Medium reaches 358 FPS. The 1440p Medium setting shows a minimum of 304 FPS, which means the frame rate never dips below 300 FPS even during intense gameplay moments. For users with 144Hz or 165Hz monitors, any setting from Medium upward at 1440p will saturate the display's capabilities. The 4K results are where the settings choice becomes more meaningful: Ultra drops to 145 FPS, High produces 179 FPS, Medium reaches 203 FPS with a 172 FPS minimum, and Low climbs to 223 FPS.

The data suggests that Medium settings provide the best balance for this combination. At Medium, the system maintains 536 FPS at 1080p, 358 FPS at 1440p, and 203 FPS at 4K — all with documented minimums that stay comfortably above 170 FPS. The Medium preset's minimum FPS values are the only ones recorded in the data, indicating that this setting was tested with frame time consistency in mind. For users prioritizing smoothness over raw average FPS, Medium appears to be the sweet spot across all three resolutions. High settings offer a modest visual upgrade with only a 10-15% FPS penalty at each resolution, making it a viable alternative for those who want better visuals without sacrificing the ability to drive high-refresh displays.

Low settings produce 393 FPS, Medium delivers 358 FPS (with a minimum of 304 and maximum of 412), High reaches 317 FPS, and Ultra maintains 257 FPS. The 1440p results show a 136 FPS difference between Low and Ultra, representing a 35% reduction in frame rate at maximum settings.

At 3840x2160, the system still delivers playable-to-excellent frame rates across all settings. Low produces 223 FPS, Medium achieves 203 FPS (with a minimum of 172 and maximum of 233), High reaches 179 FPS, and Ultra drops to 145 FPS. The 4K Ultra result is the only measured average below 150 FPS, indicating that this resolution and setting combination is the first to push the system toward its limits.

The Medium preset is the only setting with complete minimum and maximum data across all three resolutions. At 1080p Medium, the range spans 456 to 617 FPS; at 1440p Medium, it spans 304 to 412 FPS; and at 4K Medium, it spans 172 to 233 FPS. These ranges show that the frame rate variability scales proportionally with resolution, maintaining roughly a 35% spread between minimum and maximum at each resolution.

Resolution Scaling

The FPS progression from 1080p to 4K reveals how this system responds to increasing pixel counts. At Medium settings, the average FPS drops from 536 at 1080p to 358 at 1440p (a 33% reduction), then to 203 at 4K (a 43% further reduction from 1440p). The total drop from 1080p to 4K at Medium settings is 333 FPS, representing a 62% decrease.

At High settings, the scaling shows a similar pattern: 474 FPS at 1080p, 317 FPS at 1440p (33% reduction), and 179 FPS at 4K (44% further reduction). The total reduction from 1080p to 4K at High is 295 FPS, or 62%. Low settings follow the same trajectory: 590 FPS at 1080p, 393 FPS at 1440p (33% reduction), and 223 FPS at 4K (43% further reduction), totaling a 62% drop across the resolution range.

Ultra settings show the steepest scaling curve. At 1080p Ultra, the system produces 385 FPS; at 1440p, this drops to 257 FPS (33% reduction); and at 4K, it falls to 145 FPS (44% further reduction). The total 4K-to-1080p reduction at Ultra is 240 FPS, or 62%.

The consistent 33% reduction from 1080p to 1440p and 43-44% reduction from 1440p to 4K across all settings suggests a uniform scaling behavior. The fact that the percentage drops are nearly identical regardless of settings preset indicates that the system's limiting component scales predictably with pixel count. The larger percentage drop from 1440p to 4K (43-44%) compared to 1080p to 1440p (33%) suggests the GPU becomes progressively more limiting as resolution increases, since pixel count increases by 78% from 1080p to 1440p but by 125% from 1440p to 4K.

These benchmarks place the CPU in the 93rd percentile against all processors.

For Roblox specifically, the CPU's role appears to be significant at lower resolutions and settings. At 1080p Low, the system achieves 590 FPS, which likely approaches the CPU's frame generation limit for this game. The 20-core, 20-thread configuration provides substantial headroom for Roblox's typically single-threaded or lightly-threaded workloads, though the high boost clock of 5.30 GHz is likely more important than the core count for this game.

The processor's memory bandwidth of 102.4 GB/s over a dual-channel DDR5 interface provides ample data throughput for game assets. The 30 MB of shared L3 cache helps maintain high hit rates for frequently accessed game data. The CPU's TDP of 65 W indicates efficient operation, which is notable given the high boost clock and 20-core configuration.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti is built on the Ada Lovelace architecture using TSMC's 5 nm process, containing 35,800 million transistors across a 294 mm² die. The GPU operates at a base clock of 2310 MHz and boosts to 2610 MHz, with memory running at 1313 MHz (21 Gbps effective). It features 12 GB of GDDR6X memory on a 192-bit bus, providing 504.2 GB/s of bandwidth.
