Roblox

The AMD Ryzen 5 5500 and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 combination delivers a robust experience in Roblox, a Sandbox title from 2006-08-31. The data shows this pairing is capable of high frame rates across all tested resolutions, with performance scaling predictably as graphical load increases. The analysis below breaks down the contribution of each component, the impact of resolution changes, and how this specific combination stacks up against the broader test pool.

CPU Role — cores, clocks, and how they relate to this game's results

The AMD Ryzen 5 5500 is a 6-core, 12-thread processor from the 5000 series, built on the Zen 3 (Cezanne) architecture using TSMC's 7 nm process. It operates with a base clock of 3.60 GHz and a boost clock of 4.20 GHz. The CPU's cache layout consists of 64 KB of L1 per core, 512 KB of L2 per core, and 16 MB of L3. This processor supports DDR4 memory in a dual-channel configuration, offering 51.2 GB/s of bandwidth, and connects via PCIe Gen 3. Its 65 W TDP classifies it as a mainstream desktop part.

In synthetic benchmarks, the Ryzen 5 5500 shows a balanced profile. Its Cinebench R23 multicore score of 16429 and single-core score of 2319 indicate strong all-around compute capability. The Passmark multithread score of 19330 and single-thread score of 3058 reinforce this. More telling for gaming, the 3DMark tests show a single-thread score of 836 and a 2-thread score of 1645, while the 16-thread score reaches 5386. This suggests the CPU has adequate headroom for titles that rely on a few high-frequency threads, as well as those that can saturate multiple cores.

The CPU's percentile rank is 79, meaning it outperforms the majority of all CPUs in the benchmark database. Its nearest rivals in the aggregate score are the Intel Core i5-12500, with a delta of -0.1%, and the AMD Ryzen 5 PRO 4655GE, also at -0.1%. These tiny deltas indicate that the Ryzen 5 5500 sits in a tightly contested performance tier. For Roblox, which rarely demands extreme multi-threaded throughput, the 6-core/12-thread configuration is more than sufficient. The measured FPS data shows that even at 1080p with Low settings, the system reaches 280.3 FPS, a figure that points to the CPU being able to feed frames well above typical display refresh rates.

GPU Role — VRAM, clocks, and how they relate to this game's results

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 is a Turing-architecture GPU (chip TU106) manufactured on TSMC's 12 nm process. It features 1920 shading units, 120 TMUs, and 48 ROPs, along with 30 RT cores and 240 tensor cores. The GPU's base clock is 1365 MHz with a boost clock of 1680 MHz. Memory is provided by 6 GB of GDDR6 on a 192-bit bus, resulting in a bandwidth of 336.0 GB/s. The memory clock runs at 1750 MHz, effectively 14 Gbps. The card supports DirectX 12 Ultimate (12_2), OpenGL 4.6, and Vulkan 1.4.

In terms of compute throughput, the RTX 2060 delivers 6.451 TFLOPS of FP32 performance and 80.64 GPixel/s pixel rate. Its texture rate is 201.6 GTexel/s. The GPU's benchmark scores include a Passmark G3D score of 14111 and a Geekbench OpenCL score of 71278. The 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score is 1242. With a percentile rank of 58, the RTX 2060 sits just above the median of all GPUs, which is a reasonable position for a card from the GeForce 20-series.

The GPU's nearest rivals are the AMD Radeon RX 7600S (delta of 0.5%), the AMD Radeon Pro 5600M (-1.7%), and the AMD Radeon Pro 5700 (-1.7%). These small deltas again indicate that the RTX 2060 is in a competitive bracket. For Roblox, the 6 GB VRAM allocation is not a limiting factor, as the game's asset sizes do not appear to push against this ceiling. The GPU's role becomes more apparent at higher resolutions, where the pixel throughput and memory bandwidth are taxed more heavily. The data shows that the GPU can handle 4K with High settings at 88 FPS, which suggests the card has enough grunt for this less demanding title.

Resolution Scaling — how FPS drops from 1080p to 4K and what it says about the limiting component

The measured FPS data provides a clear picture of how this combo scales across resolutions. At 1080p with Low settings, the system produces 280.3 FPS. Moving to 1440p Low drops this to 186.2 FPS, a decrease of roughly 33.6%. At 4K Low, the frame rate falls further to 108 FPS, which is a 61.5% reduction from the 1080p figure. This pattern is consistent with a GPU-bound scenario at higher resolutions, where the number of pixels to render increases significantly.

For High settings, the scaling is similar but with a steeper curve. At 1080p High, the system achieves 224 FPS. At 1440p High, this drops to 148.2 FPS, a 33.8% reduction. At 4K High, the frame rate is 88 FPS, which is a 60.7% reduction from 1080p. The relative consistency of the percentage drops across settings suggests that the GPU is the primary bottleneck when resolution increases, while the CPU remains capable of keeping up with the frame demands.

The Medium preset shows 253.7 FPS at 1080p, 173 FPS at 1440p, and 98.9 FPS at 4K. The Ultra preset yields 186.2 FPS at 1080p, 120.6 FPS at 1440p, and 69.3 FPS at 4K. The drop from 1080p to 4K for Ultra is 62.8%, which is the largest percentage loss among all presets. This indicates that the Ultra preset introduces effects that are particularly taxing on the GPU's shading units and memory bandwidth. The data suggests that at 1080p, the CPU is more likely to be the limiting factor, as the frame rates are very high, but at 4K, the GPU's workload dominates the performance outcome.

How This Combo Ranks — use comboRankInGame vs other tested combos

In the database of tested combinations for Roblox, this specific pairing of the AMD Ryzen 5 5500 and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 holds a rank of 1449 out of 1800 combinations. This places it in the lower 20% of all tested combos, which is a notable data point. The rank suggests that while the absolute frame rates are playable, there are many other combinations that achieve higher performance in this title.

The percentile position of the CPU (79) and GPU (58) individually are higher than the combo's positional rank would suggest. This discrepancy implies that the combination's performance is not solely a function of the average component scores. The measured FPS data shows that the system can exceed 200 FPS at 1080p on most presets, yet the rank indicates that many other systems push even higher. The data shows that the combo's performance is adequate for smooth gameplay, but it is not near the top of the leaderboard for Roblox. The rank of 1449 versus 1800 total combos means that roughly 351 combinations outperform it, which is a significant number in a competitive field.

Settings Recommendations — which preset gives the best experience per the measured rows

Examining the measured rows, the High preset at 1440p provides a balanced experience with 148.2 FPS. This frame rate is well above the 60 FPS threshold for smooth play and offers higher visual fidelity than Low or Medium. At 1080p, the High preset delivers 224 FPS, which is excellent for high-refresh-rate monitors, but the visual improvements over Medium may be marginal for some users.

For those prioritizing maximum frame rates, the Low preset at 1080p yields 280.3 FPS, which is the highest measured value across all configurations. However, this comes at the cost of visual quality. The Medium preset at 1080p offers a compromise with 253.7 FPS, which is still very high and likely to be indistinguishable from Low in fast-paced gameplay.

At 4K, the High preset with 88 FPS is the best choice for maintaining visual fidelity while staying above 60 FPS. The Ultra preset at 4K drops to 69.3 FPS, which is still playable but shows a significant performance hit. The data suggests that the Ultra preset is not worth the frame rate penalty for this title, as the visual uplift may not be perceptible in a Sandbox game. The Medium preset at 4K offers 98.9 FPS, which is a good middle ground. Overall, the High preset appears to be the sweet spot for this combination, providing high frame rates and solid visuals across all resolutions.
