Roblox

Roblox is not typically a title that stresses high-end hardware, but the data for the Intel Core Ultra 7 265K and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070 SUPER combination reveals a component dynamic worth examining. At 1080p, the system produces frame rates well beyond display refresh rates, while at 4K, the scaling behavior shows a clear shift in the bottleneck. This analysis breaks down the measured results, the CPU's role, and how this specific pairing ranks against other tested configurations.

Resolution Scaling

The measured FPS data shows a dramatic drop as resolution increases, which is the classic signature of a GPU-bound workload at higher pixel counts. At 1080p with High settings, the combo averages 269.4 FPS. Moving to 1440p drops that to 184.9 FPS, a reduction of approximately 31%. The jump to 4K High yields 100.7 FPS, which is another 45% decline from the 1440p result. This steep scaling curve indicates that the RTX 2070 SUPER is the limiting factor once the resolution climbs, as the CPU has ample headroom to feed frames at lower pixel densities.

The pattern holds across all settings presets. At 1080p Low, the system hits 339 FPS, but 4K Low falls to 126.7 FPS—a 62% performance loss. For Ultra settings, the drop is from 221.7 FPS at 1080p to 84.7 FPS at 4K, a 62% reduction as well. The consistency of this percentage decline across different quality presets reinforces that resolution, not graphical complexity, is the primary driver of the FPS loss. The RTX 2070 SUPER's 8 GB GDDR6 memory and 256-bit bus are likely being saturated at 4K, whereas the Core Ultra 7 265K's 20 cores and 30 MB of L3 cache are not.

Interestingly, the gap between Low and Ultra settings narrows at higher resolutions. At 1080p, the difference between Low (339 FPS) and Ultra (221.7 FPS) is 117.3 FPS. At 4K, that same gap shrinks to 42 FPS (126.7 vs 84.7). This suggests that at 4K, the GPU is so constrained that even reducing settings to Low cannot fully compensate for the pixel throughput required, whereas at 1080p, the GPU has enough spare capacity to handle the extra shading work of Ultra settings without collapsing frame rates.

CPU Role

The Intel Core Ultra 7 265K is a 20-core, 20-thread processor based on the Arrow Lake architecture, built on a 3 nm process by TSMC. Its base clock of 3.90 GHz and boost clock of 5.50 GHz, combined with 30 MB of shared L3 cache, position it as a high-end desktop part. The benchmark data for this CPU shows it sits in the 97th percentile versus all CPUs, with a Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 50009 and a single-core score of 7060. These figures indicate a processor with substantial headroom for any game, including Roblox.

In this game, the CPU's role is largely to maintain a high enough frame ceiling that the GPU becomes the bottleneck. At 1080p Low, the 339 FPS average suggests the CPU is still capable of pushing far beyond typical monitor refresh rates. The Passmark single-thread score of 4904 and the Cinebench R15 single-core score of 711 show strong per-core performance, which is relevant for Roblox's often single-threaded or lightly-threaded workload. The 20 cores are more than sufficient; the game likely only uses a fraction of them.

The nearest rival data for the CPU shows it is virtually tied with the Intel Core Ultra 7 265KF (deltaPct of -0.2%) and Intel Core i9-14900KF (also -0.2%). The Core Ultra 7 265K trails the Intel Core i9-14900K by 0.9% and the AMD EPYC 7413 by 1.2% in average benchmark score. These small deltas confirm that the 265K is not the source of any performance limitation in Roblox; it is a top-tier part that will not hold back the RTX 2070 SUPER in this title. The CPU's 97th percentile ranking versus all CPUs further underscores that its processing power is far beyond what Roblox demands.

FAQ

Q: What is the average FPS at 1080p with Ultra settings?

A: The measured average FPS for the Intel Core Ultra 7 265K and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070 SUPER combo at 1920x1080 with Ultra settings is 221.7 FPS.

Q: How does the 4K Ultra performance compare to 1080p Ultra?

A: The 4K Ultra average is 84.7 FPS, which is significantly lower than the 1080p Ultra result of 221.7 FPS. This represents a performance drop of roughly 62% when moving from 1080p to 4K.

Q: Is the CPU or GPU more likely to be the bottleneck at 1440p?

A: At 2560x1440 with High settings, the combo achieves 184.9 FPS. Given that the CPU has a 97th percentile ranking and the GPU's performance drops steeply from 1080p to 1440p, the RTX 2070 SUPER appears to be the limiting component at this resolution.

Q: What is the best measured FPS across all tested configurations?

A: The highest average FPS recorded is 339 FPS, achieved at 1920x1080 with Low settings.

Q: How does this combo rank among all tested combinations in Roblox?

A: The combo ranks 1111th out of 1800 tested combinations in Roblox, placing it in the lower half of the tested field.

Q: Does the CPU's multi-core performance matter for this game?

A: The CPU's Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 50009 is exceptionally high, but Roblox's performance is more dependent on single-thread speed, where the 265K scores 7060. The high frame rates at 1080p suggest the CPU's single-core strength is sufficient, while the multi-core capacity is largely unused.

How This Combo Ranks

The combination of the Intel Core Ultra 7 265K and the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070 SUPER ranks 1111th out of 1800 tested combos in Roblox. This places it in the 62nd percentile of all combos, meaning roughly 38% of tested configurations perform worse. The ranking is likely dragged down by the RTX 2070 SUPER, which is an older Turing-era card with a 65th percentile ranking versus all GPUs. The CPU, on the other hand, is a top performer with a 97th percentile ranking.

The GPU's nearest rivals in benchmark score include the NVIDIA RTX A400 (deltaPct of -0.5%) and the NVIDIA GeForce GTX TITAN Z (deltaPct of 0.9%), indicating the RTX 2070 SUPER is in a mid-range performance tier. The CPU's nearest rivals, such as the Intel Core Ultra 7 265KF and Intel Core i9-14900KF, are all within 0.9% of its average score, confirming the 265K is a high-end part. This mismatch between a top-tier CPU and a mid-tier GPU explains why the combo does not rank higher; the GPU is likely holding the system back in Roblox, particularly at higher resolutions where the measured FPS drops below 100 at 4K Ultra.

For users with this combo, the data suggests that at 1080p, the system is overkill for Roblox, delivering over 200 FPS at all settings. At 1440p, performance is still strong, with all settings above 147 FPS. The 4K results are playable but not extreme, with only the Low preset exceeding 120 FPS. The rank of 1111 out of 1800 reflects that while the CPU is top-tier, the GPU's age and memory configuration limit the overall system's standing in this specific game.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The following table details the exact measured average FPS for each resolution and settings combination, as provided in the fact pack.

| Resolution | Settings | Avg FPS |

|------------|----------|---------|

| 3840x2160 | High | 100.7 |

| 3840x2160 | Low | 126.7 |

| 3840x2160 | Medium | 117.9 |

| 3840x2160 | Ultra | 84.7 |

| 2560x1440 | High | 184.9 |

| 2560x1440 | Low | 223.8 |

| 2560x1440 | Medium | 207.1 |

| 2560x1440 | Ultra | 147.1 |

| 1920x1080 | High | 269.4 |

| 1920x1080 | Low | 339.0 |

| 1920x1080 | Medium | 306.2 |

| 1920x1080 | Ultra | 221.7 |

The data shows a clear hierarchy: at every resolution, Low settings produce the highest FPS, followed by Medium, then High, with Ultra being the most demanding. The only exception is at 4K, where Medium (117.9 FPS) slightly outperforms High (100.7 FPS), but the ordering remains consistent. The largest single-step drop occurs between 1080p and 1440p for Ultra settings, from 221.7 FPS to 147.1 FPS, a 34% reduction. The smallest drop between resolutions is from 1080p to 1440p for Low settings, from 339 FPS to 223.8 FPS, a 34% reduction as well. These figures confirm that resolution scaling is uniform across settings, with the GPU bearing the brunt of the load as pixel count increases.
