Roblox

The Intel Core i5-11400F paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 delivers exceptionally high frame rates in Roblox, a game that is far more forgiving on hardware than most modern titles. The recorded data shows that this combination never drops below 92.9 frames per second (FPS) on average, even at the most demanding settings and resolution tested. This places the system far beyond the playable threshold of 60 FPS, indicating a substantial performance surplus that could be leveraged for higher refresh rate displays or heavily populated, physics-intensive custom worlds.

Best Settings per Resolution

The most demanding preset that stays at or above 60 FPS at each resolution is, in every case, the "Ultra" preset. The data indicates that this combination does not struggle to maintain playable frame rates, so the most visually demanding option is always viable.

At 1920x1080, the Ultra preset delivers an average of 237.7 FPS. This is a very high frame rate, suitable for high refresh rate monitors. The data suggests that the game is heavily CPU-bound at this resolution, as the frame rate scales remarkably well with lower settings, reaching 363.5 FPS on Low.

At 2560x1440, the Ultra preset still produces an average of 161.6 FPS. This is a significant frame rate that remains well above the threshold for smooth gameplay. The performance headroom here is still considerable, allowing for a highly responsive experience on high refresh rate 1440p panels.

At 3840x2160 (4K), the Ultra preset is still the best choice, maintaining an average of 92.9 FPS. This is a clear indication of the GPU's capability, as it is the only resolution where the frame rate dips below the triple-digit mark. Even so, 92.9 FPS is comfortably above the 60 FPS playability threshold, meaning a full 4K experience with maximum graphical fidelity is achievable without any compromises.

CPU and GPU Roles

The recorded data reveals a clear picture of how the CPU and GPU share the workload across different resolutions. The scaling between presets and resolutions indicates a shifting bottleneck.

At 1920x1080, the system is evidently CPU-limited. The difference in average FPS between the Low preset (363.5 FPS) and the Ultra preset (237.7 FPS) is a substantial 125.8 FPS. This large drop in frame rate as settings increase shows that the CPU's ability to feed the GPU is the limiting factor; even when the GPU has less work to do (Low settings), the frame rate is capped by the CPU's processing power. The i5-11400F, with its 6 cores and 12 threads, is the primary driver of performance at this resolution.

Moving to 2560x1440, the gap between the Low (242.6 FPS) and Ultra (161.6 FPS) presets narrows to 81 FPS. This compression in the FPS differential indicates that the GPU is starting to take on a more significant role. The added pixel count increases the load on the RTX 4060, reducing its idle time and making it a more relevant factor in overall performance.

At 3840x2160, the performance becomes heavily GPU-bound. The difference between the Low (136 FPS) and Ultra (92.9 FPS) presets is now only 43.1 FPS. The absolute frame rates are also much lower than at 1080p, confirming that the RTX 4060 is now the primary bottleneck. The data suggests that the CPU has enough headroom to feed the GPU, but the GPU's rendering capacity at this high pixel count is what determines the final frame rate. The scaling from 1080p Ultra (237.7 FPS) to 4K Ultra (92.9 FPS) represents a 60.9% decrease in performance, a direct consequence of the GPU workload increasing quadratically with pixel count.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The recorded data provides a complete table of average FPS figures across all tested configurations. No minimum or maximum FPS values were recorded, so this analysis focuses solely on the averages.

1920x1080

• Low: 363.5 FPS
• Medium: 333.5 FPS
• High: 291.2 FPS
• Ultra: 237.7 FPS

2560x1440

• Low: 242.6 FPS
• Medium: 222.2 FPS
• High: 198.5 FPS
• Ultra: 161.6 FPS

3840x2160

• Low: 136 FPS
• Medium: 123.4 FPS
• High: 111.2 FPS
• Ultra: 92.9 FPS

The data shows a monotonous, predictable trend: as either resolution or graphical settings increase, the average FPS decreases. The performance margins between each preset are relatively consistent, suggesting a well-scaled game engine.

How This Combo Ranks

In the database's performance rankings for Roblox, this specific combination of the Intel Core i5-11400F and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 is placed at rank 1979 out of a total of 3711 tested combinations. This places it in the upper-middle tier of all potential system configurations.

This ranking is somewhat counterintuitive given the extremely high absolute frame rates. The reason for this is that Roblox is a very old game with a simple rendering pipeline. The database includes many combinations with much more powerful CPUs and GPUs, such as modern flagship processors and high-end video cards. Because the game is so easy to run, these top-tier components can produce even higher frame rates than those recorded here. The rank reflects the relative position against these more powerful systems, while the absolute numbers show that this combo is still more than capable of delivering an exceptional gaming experience.

Similar Performance Alternatives

The database entries for the Intel Core i5-11400F and the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 list several components that perform nearly identically in synthetic benchmarks. These are the closest direct rivals for each part, and builds using them would behave similarly in Roblox.

For the CPU, the Intel Core i5-11400F is flanked by a mix of server and mobile processors. The AMD EPYC 7H12 is a server chip with an average score of 17120, only 0.3% behind the i5-11400F. The Intel Core Ultra 7 164U is a mobile processor that is 0.6% ahead, and the Intel Core i5-12450H is another mobile part that is 0.4% ahead. The AMD Ryzen 3 PRO 8300G is a desktop APU that is 0.6% ahead. In Roblox, the performance difference between these chips would be negligible, and all would deliver very similar results.

For the GPU, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 is very closely matched with several AMD parts. The AMD Radeon HD 7790 is 0.2% ahead, the AMD Radeon 780M is 0.3% behind, and the AMD Radeon Pro 560 is 0.5% behind. However, it is critical to note that while the benchmark scores are similar, the RTX 4060 has 8 GB of GDDR6 memory and uses the modern Ada Lovelace architecture with features like ray tracing and DLSS 3. The older AMD Radeon HD 7790 and Pro variants lack these features and have much less VRAM, so despite similar benchmark scores, the experience in modern games would be vastly different. In Roblox, though, the game is so light that these differences would not manifest in the FPS, and users would see similar performance.
