Roblox

Roblox is a strange beast for hardware benchmarking. It looks simple, but its performance profile is heavily dependent on the CPU and the engine's single-threaded limits. Pairing a six-core AMD Ryzen 5 2600 with an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070 SUPER creates a system where the GPU is rarely the bottleneck, and the data confirms this. The measured frames per second (FPS) are exceptionally high across all resolutions, but the scaling patterns reveal exactly where the limits lie.

Resolution Scaling

The most telling data point is how the average FPS drops as resolution increases. At 1920x1080 with Low settings, the combo produces 337.8 FPS. Moving to 2560x1440 Low drops that to 228.8 FPS, and at 3840x2160 Low, it falls further to 128.1 FPS. This is a steep decline, and it indicates that even at lower settings, the resolution increase is placing a heavier load on the GPU, which starts to become more relevant. However, the sheer height of these numbers—even at 4K Low, the system is still pushing well past 120 FPS—suggests the CPU is still feeding frames faster than the GPU can render them at the highest resolutions.

Looking at the High preset, the pattern shifts. At 1080p High, the average is 271.6 FPS. At 1440p High, it drops to 180.7 FPS, and at 4K High, it reaches 105.9 FPS. The percentage drop from 1080p to 4K at High settings is roughly 61%, which is a significant reduction. This is a classic sign of the GPU becoming the limiting component at 4K. The RTX 2070 SUPER, with its 8 GB of GDDR6 memory and 448.0 GB/s bandwidth, is working harder to fill those pixels, and the frame rate reflects that.

The Ultra preset tells a similar story. At 1080p Ultra, the system averages 221.7 FPS. At 1440p Ultra, it is 145.1 FPS, and at 4K Ultra, it drops to 84 FPS. The drop from 1440p to 4K at Ultra is a 42% reduction, which is expected as the pixel count quadruples. The key insight here is that the CPU is not the primary limiter at 4K. The Ryzen 5 2600's single-core performance, while not class-leading, is sufficient to keep the GPU fed at these frame rates. The data shows that the scaling from 1080p to 4K is primarily a GPU-bound curve, especially on the higher presets.

How This Combo Ranks

In the grand scheme of tested combinations, this pairing lands at rank 1109 out of 1800 combos for Roblox. That puts it in the bottom 40% of all systems tested, which might seem surprising given the high absolute frame rates. The reason is that Roblox is a game where even modest modern hardware can hit triple-digit FPS, and the ranking is relative to every other CPU and GPU pairing in the database. Many newer CPUs with higher single-thread performance will push significantly higher frame rates in this title, which drags this combo's relative rank down.

The Ryzen 5 2600 finds itself in a competitive neighborhood. Its average benchmark score is 19616, with the Intel Core i5-1345U slightly ahead at 19691 (a delta of -0.4%) and the AMD Ryzen 5 7530U slightly behind at 19508 (a delta of 0.6%). The Intel Core i5-11600KF is also close at 19740 (-0.6%), and the Intel Core i7-10700F trails at 19485 (0.7%). This suggests the CPU's overall compute capability is solid for its generation, but its single-threaded performance is what matters most for Roblox, and that is where it likely falls short of newer rivals.

The GPU, meanwhile, is a mid-pack performer. Its average benchmark score is 22206, placing it near the NVIDIA RTX A400 (22307, -0.5%) and the NVIDIA GeForce GTX TITAN Z (22006, 0.9%). The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 Mobile is ahead at 22729 (-2.3%), while the AMD Radeon RX 5700 trails at 21670 (2.5%). This places the RTX 2070 SUPER in a performance tier that is more than adequate for Roblox, but the combo's rank is dragged down by the CPU's age.

Settings Recommendations

The measured rows provide a clear picture of the trade-off between visual fidelity and frame rate. The most balanced experience appears to be at the Medium preset. At 1080p Medium, the system averages 306 FPS, which is a massive margin above any standard 60 Hz or 144 Hz display. Even at 1440p Medium, the average is 205.4 FPS, which is still incredibly smooth. The Medium preset likely offers a good mix of visual effects without the performance hit of Ultra.

The High preset is also viable, but the gains in visual quality are marginal compared to the frame rate cost. At 1080p High, you get 271.6 FPS, which is still excellent, but you are losing about 11% of the performance compared to Medium. At 4K High, the average drops to 105.9 FPS, which is still above 60 FPS but not by a huge margin. For a game like Roblox, where the art style is inherently blocky and simple, the difference between Medium and High is often negligible on screen.

The Ultra preset is not recommended for competitive play, but it is playable. At 4K Ultra, the average is 84 FPS, which is smooth enough for most casual scenarios. However, the drop from Medium to Ultra at 4K is a 27% reduction in frame rate (from 114.4 to 84 FPS). Given that Roblox's art style does not benefit dramatically from Ultra settings, the Medium preset offers the best balance of performance and visual quality for this hardware combination.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the system delivers a broad range of performance depending on the preset. Low settings produce an average of 337.8 FPS, Medium produces 306 FPS, High produces 271.6 FPS, and Ultra produces 221.7 FPS. The spread from Low to Ultra is about 34%, showing that the GPU is still doing work at 1080p, but the CPU is capable of feeding high frame rates across all settings.

At 2560x1440, the averages are 228.8 FPS on Low, 205.4 FPS on Medium, 180.7 FPS on High, and 145.1 FPS on Ultra. The drop from Low to Ultra here is about 37%, which is similar to 1080p, but the absolute numbers are lower, indicating the GPU is beginning to feel the pressure of more pixels.

At 3840x2160, the averages are 128.1 FPS on Low, 114.4 FPS on Medium, 105.9 FPS on High, and 84 FPS on Ultra. The drop from Low to Ultra is about 34%, but the key observation is that even at the lowest settings, the frame rate is under 130 FPS. This is the clearest evidence that the GPU is the limiting factor at 4K. The CPU has headroom left, but the RTX 2070 SUPER simply cannot render 4K pixels fast enough to match the lower resolutions.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070 SUPER is based on the Turing architecture and ships with 8 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 256-bit bus. Its memory bandwidth is 448.0 GB/s, which is ample for Roblox's relatively small texture sizes. The GPU's base clock is 1605 MHz with a boost clock of 1770 MHz, and it offers 2560 shading units. These specs are more than sufficient for a game that is not graphically demanding.

The data shows that the GPU's role becomes dominant at 4K. At 4K Ultra, the system averages 84 FPS, which is a 62% drop from the 1080p Ultra result of 221.7 FPS. This is a larger relative drop than what you see at lower settings, confirming that the GPU's pixel throughput is the bottleneck. The RTX 2070 SUPER's 64 ROPs and 113.3 GPixel/s pixel rate are what determine this ceiling. While it is a capable card for high-refresh 1080p and 1440p gaming, 4K pushes it to its limits in this title, especially with the Ultra preset.

The GPU's compute performance is also noteworthy. Its FP32 performance is 9.062 TFLOPS, and it scores 18169 on the Passmark G3D test. This puts it in a similar tier to the NVIDIA RTX A400 and the GTX TITAN Z, but Roblox does not heavily utilize raw compute power. The card's 40 RT cores and 320 Tensor cores are essentially idle in this game, as Roblox does not use ray tracing or DLSS.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 5 2600 is a six-core, twelve-thread processor based on the Zen+ architecture. Its base clock is 3.40 GHz with a boost clock of 3.90 GHz, and it has 16 MB of shared L3 cache. For Roblox, the most critical factor is single-thread performance, and the data indicates this is where the system's limitations lie.

The CPU's single-thread benchmark scores are modest. It scores 1579 on Cinebench R23 single-core and 2239 on Passmark single-thread. These numbers are not class-leading, but they are sufficient to produce very high frame rates in Roblox. The measured FPS at 1080p Low, 337.8 FPS, is likely near the upper ceiling of what this CPU can feed. The fact that the frame rate at 1080p Low is only 11% higher than at 1080p High (337.8 vs 271.6 FPS) suggests that the CPU is not bottlenecking the system at lower settings; the GPU is still the primary driver of the difference.

However, the combo's rank of 1109 out of 1800 tells a different story. Newer CPUs with higher single-thread performance will push Roblox to much higher frame rates, often exceeding 500 FPS at 1080p. This CPU's boost clock of 3.90 GHz is its main limiting factor. The Ryzen 5 2600's overall average benchmark score of 19616 puts it in the 77th percentile of all CPUs, but for a game like Roblox that is heavily single-thread bound, the percentile is less relevant than the raw single-core speed. The CPU's 12 threads are essentially unused, as Roblox typically utilizes only a few cores. This means the Ryzen 5 2600 is functioning well within its capabilities, but it is not the ideal choice for maximizing frame rates in this specific title.
