Roblox

Resolution Scaling

The measured FPS data for Roblox shows a clear and predictable scaling pattern as resolution increases, though the magnitude of the drop is unusually modest compared to most modern titles. At 1080p with High settings, the AMD Ryzen 5 5600 + NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070 SUPER combination delivers 274 FPS on average. Moving to 1440p reduces that to 185.2 FPS, a decline of roughly 32%. At 4K, the average settles at 103.2 FPS, which represents a further drop of about 44% from the 1440p figure and approximately 62% from 1080p.

This scaling behavior reveals that the system is heavily CPU-limited at lower resolutions. The 1080p to 1440p transition yields a relatively small absolute FPS loss (88.8 FPS) given the 2.25x increase in pixel count, indicating that the RTX 2070 SUPER's rendering pipeline is not the primary constraint at 1080p. The CPU's single-thread performance, as reflected in its 3DMark single-thread score of 882, is likely the bottleneck in this scenario, since Roblox is known for its reliance on a limited number of processor threads.

The gap between Low and Ultra settings at each resolution further illustrates this dynamic. At 1080p, the spread between Low (340.5 FPS) and Ultra (222.8 FPS) is 117.7 FPS, a 53% performance difference. At 4K, the same settings spread is only 45.6 FPS (129.5 vs. 83.9), a 54% difference. The relative consistency of this percentage gap suggests that the GPU's workload scaling with settings is proportional across resolutions, but the absolute headroom at 1080p is constrained by the processor.

The data indicates that at 4K, the system is still delivering playable framerates across all presets, with the lowest figure being 83.9 FPS on Ultra. This is notable because it suggests the RTX 2070 SUPER, with its 8 GB of GDDR6 memory and 448.0 GB/s bandwidth, has sufficient resources for Roblox's relatively modest graphical demands even at UHD resolutions. The 4K Low preset at 129.5 FPS demonstrates that the GPU is not being overwhelmed, and the limiting factor at higher settings is likely the combination of shading units (2560) and texture mapping units (160) rather than memory capacity.

How This Combo Ranks

Within the benchmark database, this specific CPU-GPU pairing achieves a combo rank of 1084 out of 1800 tested combinations for Roblox. This places it in the 60th percentile of all tested combos, meaning that roughly 40% of pairings deliver higher average framerates in this game. Given the hardware involved — a mid-range Zen 3 processor and an upper-mid-range Turing GPU — this ranking is consistent with expectations.

The CPU itself holds a percentile rank of 79 among all tested processors, with an average benchmark score of 21,765. Its nearest rivals in the overall CPU rankings include the Intel Xeon D-1746TER (average score 21,635, deltaPct 0.6), the AMD EPYC 9554P (average score 21,899, deltaPct -0.6), and the AMD EPYC 9534 (average score 21,900, deltaPct -0.6). The Ryzen 5 5600 sits within 0.6% of these server-class parts, which underscores how strong its multithreaded throughput is for a desktop processor. However, those EPYC and Xeon parts are designed for entirely different workloads, and their presence in the nearest rivals list reflects the Ryzen 5's balanced performance profile rather than any direct market competition.

The GPU holds a percentile rank of 65 among all tested graphics cards, with an average benchmark score of 22,206. Its nearest rivals include the NVIDIA RTX A400 (average score 22,307, deltaPct -0.5), the NVIDIA GeForce GTX TITAN Z (average score 22,006, deltaPct 0.9), and the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 Mobile (average score 22,729, deltaPct -2.3). The RTX 2070 SUPER trails the RTX 4060 Mobile by 2.3% in aggregate benchmarks, which is relevant context for understanding its performance ceiling in Roblox.

The gap between the combo's overall ranking (60th percentile) and the individual component percentiles (CPU at 79th, GPU at 65th) suggests that Roblox's engine does not fully utilize the strengths of either component. The game's performance profile appears to be more dependent on a balanced system rather than raw component power, which is typical for sandbox titles with procedurally generated worlds.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070 SUPER is built on the Turing architecture using TSMC's 12 nm process, with a die size of 545 mm² and 13,600 million transistors. Its base clock is 1605 MHz with a boost clock of 1770 MHz, and it operates at a TDP of 215 W. The memory subsystem consists of 8 GB of GDDR6 running at 1750 MHz (14 Gbps effective) across a 256-bit bus, yielding a bandwidth of 448.0 GB/s.

For Roblox specifically, the measured FPS data indicates that the GPU's memory configuration is more than adequate. The largest framerate drop from Low to Ultra at 4K is only 45.6 FPS (from 129.5 to 83.9), which suggests that the 8 GB frame buffer is not being exhausted. If VRAM capacity were the limiting factor, the higher presets would show disproportionately larger performance collapses, particularly at 4K where texture memory pressure is highest. The data does not support that conclusion.

The GPU's compute capabilities, as measured by its FP32 throughput of 9.062 TFLOPS and its 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 1651, are sufficient to handle Roblox's rendering demands even at 4K Ultra. The fact that the 4K Ultra preset still achieves 83.9 FPS indicates that the RTX 2070 SUPER has considerable headroom in this title. The pixel rate of 113.3 GPixel/s and texture rate of 283.2 GTexel/s provide the raw fill rate needed for the game's blocky aesthetic, which tends to use simpler geometry but potentially large draw distances.

The GPU's Geekbench OpenCL score of 98,316 and Vulkan score of 94,918 suggest that its compute and graphics APIs are well-balanced. Roblox's engine appears to scale effectively across the available shading units (2560) and RT cores (40), though the latter are unlikely to be heavily utilized in this title given its visual style.

Settings Recommendations

Examining the measured FPS rows across all resolutions and presets provides a clear picture of the optimal settings configurations. At 1080p, the Ultra preset delivers 222.8 FPS, which is still far above the threshold for smooth gameplay on high-refresh-rate monitors. The Medium preset at 309.5 FPS and Low at 340.5 FPS offer diminishing returns in practical terms, as the difference between Ultra and Low at 1080p is 117.7 FPS, but the absolute framerate at Ultra is already so high that visual quality should be prioritized.

At 1440p, the Ultra preset drops to 145.8 FPS, which remains excellent for most displays. The High preset at 185.2 FPS provides a comfortable margin above 144 Hz refresh rates, while Medium at 208.3 FPS and Low at 225.3 FPS push even higher. The data suggests that 1440p High strikes the best balance, as it maintains a framerate well above typical display refresh rates while preserving visual fidelity.

At 4K, the situation becomes more nuanced. The Ultra preset delivers 83.9 FPS, which is playable on 60 Hz displays but may not satisfy users with high-refresh-rate 4K panels. The High preset at 103.2 FPS is the recommended choice for 4K, as it clears the 100 FPS threshold while offering substantially better visuals than Medium (116.6 FPS) or Low (129.5 FPS). The gap between High and Medium at 4K is only 13.4 FPS, but the visual quality difference is typically more pronounced in sandbox games with large open environments.

For users with 120 Hz or 144 Hz displays at 1440p, the Ultra preset at 145.8 FPS is the best option, as it exceeds 144 FPS and provides the full visual experience. At 1080p, Ultra is similarly recommended, as the 222.8 FPS figure leaves ample headroom for recording or streaming overhead.
