# How This Combo Ranks

The AMD Ryzen 5 3600 paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070 SUPER sits at rank 1097 out of 1800 tested combos in Roblox. This places the pairing in the 39th percentile of all tested configurations for this game, meaning roughly 61% of combos deliver higher average frame rates. That ranking might initially seem underwhelming for hardware that includes a 6-core Zen 2 processor and a TU104-based GPU, but the measured FPS data reveals a more nuanced story.

The rank reflects the fact that Roblox is a sandbox title with highly variable performance demands depending on the experience being played. The combo's position in the lower-middle of the distribution suggests that while this pairing is far from the top, it still delivers frame rates that would be considered playable for the vast majority of scenarios. Interestingly, the CPU's percentile rank versus all CPUs is 76, while the GPU's percentile versus all GPUs is 65 — both solidly above average individually, yet the combo rank in this specific game drops lower. This discrepancy hints that Roblox may not fully utilize the capabilities of either component, or that the game's engine has other bottlenecks that cap performance regardless of hardware strength.

The data indicates a system that is well-balanced in synthetic benchmarks but lands mid-pack in this particular title. The Ryzen 5 3600's nearest rivals — the Intel Core i5-11400 at -0.1%, the AMD Ryzen 5 7535HS at +0.2%, the AMD Ryzen 5 1600 at -0.2%, and the AMD EPYC 9274F at -0.3% — all score within a fraction of a percent of each other, showing that the CPU sits in a tightly contested performance band.

A: At 1920x1080 with Ultra settings, the combo achieves an average of 223.6 FPS. This is the lowest of the four 1080p settings tested, with Low reaching 342.1 FPS, Medium at 308.6 FPS, and High at 271 FPS.

Resolution Scaling

Examining the FPS drop from 1080p to 4K reveals interesting insights about which component limits performance in Roblox. At 1080p High settings, the combo produces 271 FPS average. Moving to 1440p High, the frame rate drops to 182.6 FPS, a reduction of approximately 32.6%. At 4K High, the average falls to 103.4 FPS, representing a 61.8% drop from the 1080p figure.

The scaling pattern suggests that the RTX 2070 SUPER becomes increasingly significant as resolution rises, but the game's lightweight nature means even the 4K numbers remain well above playable thresholds. At 1080p Low, the combo pushes 342.1 FPS, which is remarkably high and suggests the CPU is doing the heavy lifting at lower graphical loads. At 4K Ultra, however, the average drops to 84.4 FPS — still smooth, but the 3.1x resolution increase from 1080p to 4K causes a 75.3% performance reduction when comparing Ultra settings.

The data implies that at 1080p, the CPU plays a more dominant role in determining frame rates, as the GPU has ample headroom. The Ryzen 5 3600's 6 cores and 12 threads at 3.60 GHz base and 4.20 GHz boost can feed frames quickly, but the engine's single-thread sensitivity may cap performance. At 4K, the GPU's 8 GB of GDDR6 memory and 448.0 GB/s bandwidth become more relevant, though the game's modest visual demands mean the RTX 2070 SUPER never comes close to being overwhelmed.

The 84.4 FPS at 4K Ultra versus 342.1 FPS at 1080p Low shows a 4.05x spread, indicating that resolution scaling has a significant impact. This magnitude of drop suggests that neither component is severely bottlenecked at any tested configuration; rather, the game scales reasonably predictably with pixel count.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the combo delivers its highest frame rates across all settings. Low settings produce an average of 342.1 FPS, Medium reaches 308.6 FPS, High drops to 271 FPS, and Ultra bottoms out at 223.6 FPS. The gap between Low and Ultra is 118.5 FPS, representing a 34.6% reduction from Low to Ultra.

Moving to 2560x1440, the averages decline notably. Low settings yield 228.7 FPS, Medium achieves 203.9 FPS, High reaches 182.6 FPS, and Ultra drops to 145.5 FPS. The delta between Low and Ultra here is 83.2 FPS, a 36.4% reduction — a slightly larger relative drop than at 1080p.

At 3840x2160, the frame rates compress further. Low settings hold at 126.2 FPS, Medium reaches 115.7 FPS, High produces 103.4 FPS, and Ultra falls to 84.4 FPS. The Low-to-Ultra gap is 41.8 FPS, representing a 33.1% reduction. Interestingly, the percentage drop from Low to Ultra remains relatively consistent across resolutions (34.6%, 36.4%, and 33.1%), suggesting that the settings scaling behaves similarly regardless of resolution.

The absolute numbers tell a clear story: this combo is never below 84 FPS in any tested configuration. Even the most demanding scenario — 4K Ultra — delivers 84.4 FPS average, which remains comfortably above typical 60 FPS display refresh rates. The least demanding scenario — 1080p Low — hits 342.1 FPS, far exceeding the refresh rate of most gaming monitors.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070 SUPER contributes meaningfully to Roblox performance, particularly at higher resolutions. With 8 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 256-bit bus, the GPU provides 448.0 GB/s of bandwidth — ample for a sandbox title that rarely stresses memory capacity. The memory clock runs at 1750 MHz (14 Gbps effective), and the GPU has a base clock of 1605 MHz with a boost of 1770 MHz.

The GPU's 2560 shading units, 160 texture mapping units, and 64 render output units process the game's geometry and effects. The TU104 chip, built on a 12 nm process at TSMC, contains 13,600 million transistors on a 545 mm² die. The GPU supports DirectX 12 Ultimate (12_2), OpenGL 4.6, and Vulkan 1.4, ensuring compatibility with modern rendering APIs.

At 4K Ultra, the GPU's workload increases substantially, and the 84.4 FPS result suggests the RTX 2070 SUPER has enough raw throughput to handle Roblox's demands even at maximum settings. The GPU's passmark G3D score of 18169 and its 65th percentile ranking among all GPUs indicate solid mid-to-upper-tier performance. The 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 1651 provides additional context for its DirectX 12 capabilities.

The RTX 2070 SUPER's average benchmark score of 22206 places it near the NVIDIA RTX A400 (22307, -0.5%) and the AMD Radeon RX 5700 (21670, +2.5%). This tight grouping suggests that within this performance tier, Roblox frame rates are unlikely to vary dramatically between comparable GPUs.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 5 3600 serves as a strong foundation for Roblox performance, with its 6 cores and 12 threads proving sufficient for the game's engine. The CPU runs at a 3.60 GHz base clock and boosts to 4.20 GHz, built on the Zen 2 architecture with a 7 nm process at TSMC. The 3,800 million transistors on a 74 mm² die make for a compact, efficient design.

The CPU's 32 MB of shared L3 cache and 512 KB L2 cache per core help with the game's asset streaming and world loading. The 51.2 GB/s dual-channel DDR4 memory bandwidth keeps data flowing to the cores. The CPU's 3DMark scores — 4605 for 16 threads, 1361 for 2 threads, and 696 for single-thread — indicate robust multi-threaded performance with respectable single-thread capability.

Cinebench results reinforce the CPU's mid-range positioning: R15 multicore of 1516, R20 multicore of 6318, and R23 multicore of 15045. The Passmark multithread score of 17700 and single-thread score of 2562 further characterize its capabilities. The CPU's 76th percentile ranking among all CPUs means it outperforms three-quarters of tested processors.

In Roblox, the CPU's role appears to be most critical at lower resolutions. At 1080p Low, the 342.1 FPS result suggests the CPU can feed frames quickly, but the game's engine may not fully utilize all 12 threads. The Ryzen 5 3600's nearest rivals — the Intel Core i5-11400, AMD Ryzen 5 7535HS, AMD Ryzen 5 1600, and AMD EPYC 9274F — all perform within 0.3% of each other, indicating that Roblox performance is not highly sensitive to minor CPU differences in this range.

Settings Recommendations

The measured data suggests that High settings at 1440p offer the most balanced experience, delivering 182.6 FPS average. This configuration provides a substantial visual upgrade over 1080p while maintaining frame rates that far exceed display refresh rate capabilities. For users with 1440p monitors, High settings appear optimal — the 182.6 FPS average leaves plenty of headroom for demanding user-generated content.

At 1080p, Medium settings at 308.6 FPS provide an excellent balance, with the 223.6 FPS Ultra setting still being highly playable. The difference between Medium and Ultra at 1080p is 85 FPS, but the visual improvements from Ultra may not justify the frame rate cost for competitive play. For 4K displays, High settings at 103.4 FPS offer the best compromise, as Ultra drops to 84.4 FPS — a 19 FPS reduction that may not be visually noticeable in a sandbox game.

The data indicates that Low settings are rarely necessary with this combo, as even the most demanding configuration stays above 84 FPS. The 126.2 FPS at 4K Low versus 84.4 FPS at 4K Ultra shows a 41.8 FPS difference, but the visual quality trade-off likely favors Ultra for most players. The sweet spot across all resolutions appears to be High settings, which consistently delivers frame rates between 103.4 FPS (4K) and 271 FPS (1080p), providing smooth gameplay with strong visual fidelity.
