How This Combo Ranks

The data places this pairing at rank 337 out of 1800 tested combinations, which translates to the 81st percentile of systems tested in Roblox. This is a strong result, but not elite — the top 336 combos outperform it, likely featuring higher-end CPUs or GPUs. What makes this rank notable is the balance: the Ryzen 5 5500 is a 6-core, 12-thread processor from the 5000 series, while the RTX 4070 SUPER is an Ada Lovelace generation GPU with 7168 shading units. Neither component is the absolute fastest in its class, but together they produce frame rates that exceed the refresh rate of virtually all mainstream monitors.

The rank suggests that Roblox, a sandbox game released in 2006, does not heavily penalize this mid-range CPU when paired with a high-end GPU. The combo's position in the top 19% indicates that the system is capable of delivering smooth gameplay across all tested settings, but there is still headroom for improvement if one were to pair the RTX 4070 SUPER with a faster processor. The data shows a clear trend: this combination hits a performance ceiling at 1080p Low where the CPU becomes the primary constraint, as evidenced by the 559.8 FPS average being the highest recorded value.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 5 5500 is a 6-core, 12-thread processor based on Zen 3 architecture, manufactured on TSMC's 7 nm process. It operates with a base clock of 3.60 GHz and a boost clock of 4.20 GHz, with a 65 W TDP. The CPU's cache hierarchy includes 64 KB of L1 per core, 512 KB of L2 per core, and 16 MB of shared L3 cache. Its single-thread benchmark scores — 836 in 3DMark and 2319 in Cinebench R23 — are modest by modern standards, but they prove sufficient for Roblox's workload.

In this game, the CPU's role becomes evident when comparing frame rates across settings at a fixed resolution. At 1080p Low, the system produces 559.8 FPS; at 1080p Medium, it drops to 509.4 FPS; at High, 447.7 FPS; and at Ultra, 363.3 FPS. The scaling from Low to Ultra at 1080p shows a 35% performance reduction, which is primarily driven by increased GPU load. However, the fact that even at 1080p Ultra the system maintains 363.3 FPS indicates that the CPU is not a bottleneck at this resolution. The Ryzen 5 5500's multithreaded performance, measured at 16429 in Cinebench R23 multicore, provides ample headroom for Roblox's physics and scripting systems, which typically use a limited number of threads.

The CPU's 3DMark 8-thread score of 4593 and 16-thread score of 5386 suggest that Roblox's engine does not scale perfectly with additional threads, but the 6-core/12-thread configuration ensures consistent frame delivery without stutters. The nearest rival, the Intel Core i5-12500, scores 20897 in average benchmarks, just 0.1% higher, indicating that the Ryzen 5 5500 is competitively positioned for this workload. The PassMark single-thread score of 3058 further confirms that the CPU's per-core performance is adequate for Roblox's latency-sensitive operations.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The measured data provides a comprehensive view of performance across three resolutions and four settings tiers. At 3840x2160, the system delivers 212.7 FPS on Low, 193.0 FPS on Medium, 171.2 FPS on High, and 136.8 FPS on Ultra. These figures represent a 36% drop from Low to Ultra at 4K, which is a significant but expected reduction given the GPU's increasing workload at higher settings.

At 2560x1440, the frame rates scale upward: 372.3 FPS on Low, 342.4 FPS on Medium, 300.5 FPS on High, and 241.5 FPS on Ultra. The transition from 4K to 1440p at the same settings yields substantial improvements — for example, High settings jump from 171.2 FPS to 300.5 FPS, a 75% increase. At 1920x1080, the system achieves 559.8 FPS on Low, 509.4 FPS on Medium, 447.7 FPS on High, and 363.3 FPS on Ultra.

The data reveals a consistent pattern: the gap between Low and Ultra settings narrows as resolution decreases. At 4K, the difference is 75.9 FPS (212.7 vs 136.8); at 1440p, it is 130.8 FPS (372.3 vs 241.5); and at 1080p, it is 196.5 FPS (559.8 vs 363.3). This trend indicates that at lower resolutions, the GPU has more headroom to render higher settings without significant frame rate penalties, while at 4K, the GPU is already heavily loaded even at Low settings.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER is built on the Ada Lovelace architecture using TSMC's 5 nm process, with 35,800 million transistors on a 294 mm² die. It features 7168 shading units, 224 texture mapping units, and 80 raster output units, with 56 RT cores and 224 tensor cores. The GPU operates at a base clock of 1980 MHz and boosts to 2475 MHz, delivering 35.48 TFLOPS of FP32 performance. Its 12 GB of GDDR6X memory runs at 1313 MHz (21 Gbps effective) across a 192-bit bus, providing 504.2 GB/s of bandwidth.

In Roblox, the GPU's role is primarily to handle rendering tasks such as lighting, shadows, and post-processing effects. The benchmark results demonstrate that the RTX 4070 SUPER is rarely the limiting factor except at 4K Ultra, where the 136.8 FPS average still exceeds standard 60 Hz displays. The GPU's PassMark G3D score of 29995 places it in the 84th percentile of all GPUs, with its nearest rival, the NVIDIA RTX A6000, scoring 42653 in average benchmarks — just 0.2% higher. This indicates that the RTX 4070 SUPER is extremely well-suited for Roblox's graphical demands.

The GPU's memory configuration is particularly relevant at higher resolutions. At 4K, the 12 GB VRAM buffer is sufficient for Roblox's textures and geometry, as evidenced by the 171.2 FPS average at High settings. The 504.2 GB/s bandwidth ensures that texture streaming and asset loading do not cause frame hitches. The pixel rate of 198.0 GPixel/s and texture rate of 554.4 GTexel/s provide ample fill rate for the game's voxel-based environments and particle effects.

Settings Recommendations

Based on the measured FPS data, the optimal settings depend on the user's display refresh rate and resolution preference. At 1920x1080, all settings deliver frame rates well above 360 FPS, so the choice comes down to visual quality. Ultra settings at 1080p produce 363.3 FPS, which is still sufficient for the fastest gaming monitors on the market. The data suggests that 1080p Ultra is the best experience for users prioritizing image quality without sacrificing performance.

At 2560x1440, High settings (300.5 FPS) provide an excellent balance, with Medium (342.4 FPS) offering a slightly higher frame rate if needed. Ultra at 1440p (241.5 FPS) still exceeds 240 Hz refresh rates, making it viable for high-end displays. For 4K resolution, High settings (171.2 FPS) are the sweet spot, as they maintain smooth gameplay while providing substantial visual improvements over Medium (193.0 FPS) and Low (212.7 FPS). Ultra at 4K (136.8 FPS) is playable but may not fully utilize high-refresh-rate monitors.

The measured rows indicate that the performance cost of moving from High to Ultra is consistent across resolutions: roughly 20% at 1080p, 20% at 1440p, and 20% at 4K. Given that the game remains highly playable at Ultra across all resolutions, the recommendation is to use Ultra settings unless the user's display has a refresh rate exceeding 240 Hz at 1080p or 1440p, in which case High settings would be preferable to maximize frame rates.

Resolution Scaling

The FPS scaling from 1080p to 4K reveals important insights about the system's bottleneck. At Low settings, the average FPS decreases from 559.8 at 1080p to 212.7 at 4K, representing a 62% reduction. At Medium settings, the drop is from 509.4 to 193.0, a 62% reduction. At High settings, the decline is from 447.7 to 171.2, a 62% reduction. At Ultra settings, the fall is from 363.3 to 136.8, a 62% reduction. This consistent 62% scaling across all settings indicates that the GPU is the limiting component as resolution increases, since the frame rate reduction is proportional to the increase in pixel count.

The data shows that moving from 1080p to 1440p reduces FPS by approximately 33-34% across settings, while moving from 1440p to 4K reduces FPS by approximately 43-44%. This non-linear scaling is typical of GPU-bound scenarios, where the rendering workload grows quadratically with resolution. The fact that the scaling is consistent across settings suggests that the CPU is not introducing a variable bottleneck; rather, the RTX 4070 SUPER's performance is the primary determinant of frame rates at higher resolutions.

At 1080p, the system achieves frame rates that far exceed the CPU's single-thread capabilities would suggest, indicating that Roblox's engine is well-optimized for this hardware combination. The 559.8 FPS at 1080p Low represents a scenario where the GPU is underutilized, yet the CPU still delivers enough throughput to avoid being a constraint. As resolution increases, the GPU's workload grows, and the system transitions from a CPU-light scenario at 1080p to a GPU-bound scenario at 4K, with the 136.8 FPS at 4K Ultra representing the most demanding configuration tested.
