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

The Intel Core Ultra 7 265HX paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 delivers exceptional performance in Roblox, with measured frame rates ranging from 90 FPS at 4K Ultra to 364 FPS at 1080p Low. This combination ranks in the 53rd percentile of all tested combos for this game, placing it at position 1591 out of 3010 configurations. The data reveals a system that is heavily GPU-limited at higher settings and resolutions, while the 20-core processor provides ample headroom across all tested scenarios.

Resolution Scaling

The measured frame rates show a clear and predictable scaling pattern as resolution increases from 1080p to 4K. At High settings, the transition from 1920x1080 to 2560x1440 sees average FPS drop from 293 to 196, a reduction of 97 FPS or approximately 33%. Moving from 1440p to 3840x2160 at High settings further reduces the average to 111 FPS, representing another 85 FPS decline. This consistent drop of roughly one-third at each resolution step indicates that the RTX 4070's rendering pipeline becomes progressively more strained as pixel count increases.

At Low settings, the scaling pattern is similar but with higher absolute numbers. The system produces 364 FPS at 1080p, 243 FPS at 1440p, and 138 FPS at 4K. The percentage drops are 33% and 43% respectively, showing that the GPU is still the primary bottleneck even at the lowest quality preset. The fact that 4K Low (138 FPS) is only slightly faster than 1080p Ultra (238 FPS) suggests that resolution has a larger impact on performance than quality settings in this title.

Medium settings reveal an interesting data point: the minimum FPS values are 282 at 1080p, 188 at 1440p, and 106 at 4K. These minimums are consistently about 15% below the averages, indicating relatively stable frame pacing without severe dips. The gap between average and minimum FPS narrows slightly at higher resolutions, suggesting that the GPU workload becomes more consistent as pixel count increases.

Ultra settings produce the lowest frame rates across all resolutions: 238 FPS at 1080p, 159 FPS at 1440p, and 90 FPS at 4K. The 4K Ultra result of 90 FPS is the only measured configuration that falls below the 100 FPS threshold, making it the sole scenario where frame rate might be considered marginal for high-refresh-rate displays. The scaling from 1440p Ultra to 4K Ultra shows a 43% drop, consistent with the pattern seen at Low settings.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 features 12 GB of GDDR6X memory on a 192-bit bus, delivering 504.2 GB/s of bandwidth. This memory configuration proves more than sufficient for Roblox, as the game's stylized graphics and relatively simple textures do not appear to stress VRAM capacity in any of the tested configurations. The GPU's 5888 shading units and 64 ROPs, combined with base and boost clocks of 1920 MHz and 2475 MHz respectively, provide the computational foundation for the measured frame rates.

The RTX 4070's architecture, Ada Lovelace on TSMC's 5 nm process, includes 46 ray tracing cores and 184 tensor cores, though Roblox's rendering pipeline does not appear to leverage these specialized units heavily based on the performance data. The GPU achieves a Passmark G3D score of 26927, placing it in the 81st percentile of all GPUs. Its nearest rivals include the NVIDIA Tesla P4 (0.1% ahead), AMD Radeon RX Vega 56 (0.4% ahead), and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 Mobile (1.3% behind), showing that this desktop-class 4070 sits in a competitive performance band.

The GPU's 200 W TDP and dual-slot cooling solution are appropriate for the performance levels observed. At 4K High settings, the 111 FPS average suggests the GPU is operating near its practical limits for this title, while at 1080p Low, the 364 FPS result indicates the GPU is not fully saturated and could potentially deliver even higher frame rates if the rest of the system allowed. The measured data shows that the RTX 4070's performance headroom is most evident at lower resolutions and settings, where it can push frame rates well beyond what most displays can show.
