Roblox

The Intel Core i7-13700K paired with the Intel Arc B580 delivers an exceptionally strong performance profile in Roblox, with measured data showing average frame rates that far exceed the 60 FPS playability threshold across every tested resolution and preset combination. At 1920x1080, the combination produces an average of 292.7 FPS on Low settings, while even the most demanding Ultra preset at 4K maintains a comfortable 73 FPS average. This level of performance places the combo at rank 2812 out of 3711 tested combinations, indicating that while many systems are faster, this pairing sits comfortably in the upper quartile of tested configurations for this specific title.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The measured FPS data for this combination reveals a consistent pattern of high performance across all resolution and settings tiers. At the native 1920x1080 resolution, the Low preset delivers an average of 292.7 FPS, which represents the highest frame rate recorded in this dataset. Moving up the settings ladder, the Medium preset maintains an average of 270.2 FPS, High drops slightly to 235.3 FPS, and Ultra settles at 194.2 FPS. The scaling between Low and Ultra at 1080p shows a 98.5 FPS difference, indicating that the Ultra preset imposes a significant but manageable rendering load on the Arc B580.

At 2560x1440, the performance remains exceptionally high, with the Low preset averaging 194.7 FPS and the Medium preset at 177.3 FPS. The High preset still delivers 158.3 FPS, while Ultra drops to 130.5 FPS. The transition from 1080p to 1440p costs roughly 33% of the frame rate at each corresponding settings level, which is a moderate penalty given the 1.78x increase in pixel count. This suggests that the GPU is not the primary bottleneck at these resolutions, and the CPU's strong single-thread performance is likely contributing to the sustained high frame rates.

The 3840x2160 resolution shows the most pronounced impact of increased rendering load. The Low preset averages 113.5 FPS, Medium drops to 104.1 FPS, High falls to 90.2 FPS, and Ultra bottoms out at 73 FPS. The spread between Low and Ultra at 4K is 40.5 FPS, which is proportionally similar to the spread seen at lower resolutions. Notably, even at 4K Ultra, the average FPS of 73 remains 13 FPS above the 60 FPS playability threshold, meaning every settings combination tested at every resolution clears the minimum playability bar.

The lack of min and max FPS data in the measurements means the analysis relies solely on average frame rates, but the wide margins above the 60 FPS threshold suggest that even significant frame time spikes would rarely cause perceptible stuttering. The data shows a clear trend: as resolution increases, the percentage gap between Low and Ultra settings narrows slightly, indicating that the GPU becomes more of a limiting factor at higher pixel counts, but the overall performance envelope remains remarkably consistent.

How This Combo Ranks

The combo rank of 2812 out of 3711 tested combinations places this system in the upper portion of the performance distribution for Roblox. This rank means that approximately 75.8% of tested systems are slower than this configuration in this specific game. Given that the CPU sits at the 89th percentile among all CPUs and the GPU at the 68th percentile among all GPUs, the combination's performance is consistent with what the individual component rankings would suggest.

The rank relative to other combos indicates that while this system is not at the absolute top tier of Roblox performance, it delivers frame rates that are far beyond what is needed for smooth gameplay. The gap between this combo and higher-ranked systems would only be noticeable in extreme scenarios, such as running the game at very high refresh rates with maximum settings on competitive esports monitors. For standard 60 Hz displays, the performance difference between this combo and a top-ranked system would be imperceptible.

Best Settings per Resolution

At 3840x2160, the best settings that stay at or above 60 FPS are Ultra, which delivers an average of 73 FPS. This is the most demanding preset tested at this resolution, and it clears the playability threshold by 13 FPS. Users who prefer even more headroom can choose High at 90.2 FPS, Medium at 104.1 FPS, or Low at 113.5 FPS, but the data shows that Ultra is fully viable.

At 2560x1440, the Ultra preset averages 130.5 FPS, making it the clear choice for maximum visual quality. The High preset at 158.3 FPS, Medium at 177.3 FPS, and Low at 194.7 FPS all offer progressively higher frame rates, but none are necessary for maintaining smooth gameplay. The 130.5 FPS at Ultra provides ample margin above the 60 FPS threshold and is well-suited for 120 Hz or 144 Hz displays.

At 1920x1080, Ultra averages 194.2 FPS, which is the best settings choice for this resolution. The High preset at 235.3 FPS, Medium at 270.2 FPS, and Low at 292.7 FPS are all available for users seeking maximum frame rates, but Ultra's 194.2 FPS already exceeds the needs of most high refresh rate monitors. The 1080p Ultra performance is particularly strong, delivering over three times the playable threshold.

CPU and GPU Roles

The scaling data across resolutions and presets reveals how the CPU and GPU each contribute to Roblox performance. At 1920x1080, the difference between Low and Ultra is 98.5 FPS (from 292.7 to 194.2), while at 3840x2160 the same settings spread is 40.5 FPS (from 113.5 to 73). This narrowing gap at higher resolutions indicates that the GPU becomes more of a limiting factor as pixel count increases, while the CPU's role in maintaining high frame rates at lower resolutions becomes more prominent.

The CPU's strong single-thread performance, evidenced by its 3dmark_single_thread score of 1136 and passmark_single_thread score of 4333, likely enables the exceptionally high frame rates seen at 1080p Low settings. Roblox's game logic and physics simulation benefit from fast single-core performance, and the i7-13700K's boost clock of 5.40 GHz provides the necessary compute throughput to feed the GPU at high frame rates. At 4K, however, the GPU's rendering workload becomes the dominant factor, as evidenced by the smaller absolute FPS differences between settings.

The GPU's role scales predictably with resolution, with the Arc B580's 13.67 TFLOPS FP32 performance and 456.0 GB/s memory bandwidth proving sufficient for even the most demanding 4K Ultra preset. The fact that 4K Ultra still achieves 73 FPS suggests that the GPU has substantial headroom for this game, and the CPU is not bottlenecking the system at any resolution tested. For users who prioritize high refresh rates at 1080p, the CPU becomes the more critical component, while at 4K, the GPU's capabilities are the primary determinant of achievable settings and frame rates.
