Roblox

The Intel Core i7-14700K paired with the Intel Arc B570 delivers a comprehensive performance profile in Roblox, with benchmark data indicating that every tested resolution and preset combination clears the 60 FPS playability threshold. The measured frame rates range from a minimum average of 65 FPS at 4K Ultra settings to a maximum average of 262 FPS at 1080p Low settings, demonstrating that this hardware combination is not merely capable of running the game but provides substantial headroom across the entire settings spectrum. The data shows a consistent scaling pattern where lower resolutions and less demanding presets yield progressively higher frame rates, with the most demanding configuration—4K Ultra—still maintaining an average well above the playability standard.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 3840x2160 resolution, the benchmark results show a clear progression across the four preset levels. The Ultra preset delivers an average of 65 FPS, which represents the lowest measured performance in the entire dataset but remains above the 60 FPS playability threshold. The High preset improves upon this with an average of 80 FPS, while the Medium preset reaches 90 FPS with a minimum of 77 FPS and a maximum of 104 FPS recorded. The Low preset produces the highest 4K results with an average of 99 FPS, though no minimum or maximum values were captured for this configuration. The spread between Ultra and Low at 4K amounts to 34 FPS, indicating that preset selection has a meaningful impact on performance at this resolution.

Moving to 2560x1440, the frame rates climb substantially across all presets. The Ultra preset averages 114 FPS, which represents a 75% increase over the 4K Ultra result. The High preset reaches 141 FPS, while the Medium preset delivers 159 FPS with a minimum of 135 FPS and a maximum of 183 FPS. The Low preset produces an average of 175 FPS, the highest result at this resolution. The delta between Ultra and Low at 1440p is 61 FPS, showing that the performance gap widens as resolution decreases. All four presets at 1440p maintain averages comfortably above 100 FPS, suggesting that this resolution provides an optimal balance between visual fidelity and frame rate headroom.

At 1920x1080, the dataset reveals the highest performance tier for this hardware combination. The Ultra preset averages 171 FPS, which is 50% higher than the 4K Ultra result. The High preset achieves 211 FPS, while the Medium preset produces 239 FPS with a minimum of 203 FPS and a maximum of 275 FPS. The Low preset delivers a striking 262 FPS average, representing the peak performance in the entire measurement set. At 1080p, even the most demanding preset provides more than double the 60 FPS threshold, and the Medium preset's minimum of 203 FPS indicates that frame pacing remains exceptionally stable even during demanding scenes. The scaling from 4K to 1080p at the same preset shows consistent improvement: Ultra goes from 65 to 171 FPS, High from 80 to 211 FPS, Medium from 90 to 239 FPS, and Low from 99 to 262 FPS.

CPU and GPU Roles

The benchmark data reveals a nuanced relationship between CPU and GPU workload distribution across resolutions and presets. At 3840x2160, the GPU is clearly the dominant constraint, as evidenced by the relatively modest frame rate differences between presets. The gap between Low and Ultra at 4K is 34 FPS, which represents a 34% performance swing—significant but not transformative. This pattern suggests that at 4K, the Intel Arc B570's rendering pipeline is the primary bottleneck, and the Intel Core i7-14700K's substantial processing headroom—indicated by its 28 threads and 33 MB of shared L3 cache—is not fully utilized.

At 2560x1440, the balance shifts noticeably. The frame rate ceiling rises across all presets, with even the Ultra preset exceeding 114 FPS. The larger performance delta between Low and Ultra at 61 FPS indicates that the GPU has more available headroom at this resolution, allowing the CPU to feed frames more effectively. The i7-14700K's high single-thread performance, reflected in its Cinebench R23 single-core score of 2160, becomes more relevant as resolution drops, since Roblox's game logic and physics calculations often rely on single-threaded execution.

The 1920x1080 results demonstrate the clearest CPU involvement. The 262 FPS average at Low settings suggests that the GPU is no longer the limiting factor at this resolution, and the CPU's ability to maintain high frame rates becomes the determining variable. The i7-14700K's Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 33440.5 and Passmark multithread score of 52392 indicate substantial parallel processing capability, which helps sustain the high frame rates observed at 1080p. The consistent scaling pattern—where each resolution step down yields roughly 50% more performance at equivalent settings—confirms that the CPU has sufficient throughput to support the GPU's full potential at lower resolutions.

The preset scaling provides additional insight into component roles. At each resolution, the jump from Ultra to High produces a notable FPS increase, while the jump from Low to Medium produces a smaller relative gain. This non-linear scaling suggests that the Ultra preset introduces GPU-intensive effects that create a sharper performance penalty, while the CPU remains capable of handling the increased draw calls and game logic associated with higher presets. The integrated UHD Graphics 770 on the i7-14700K is not a factor in these discrete GPU benchmarks, but the CPU's architecture—Raptor Lake on a 10 nm process—contributes to the consistent frame delivery observed across all test configurations.
