Roblox

The AMD Ryzen 5 8400F and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 SUPER pairing delivers a remarkably fluid Roblox experience, with benchmark results showing this combination ranks 1269th out of 1800 tested combos. The measured data reveals a system that is heavily biased toward high refresh rates, particularly at 1080p, where even the most demanding Ultra preset stays comfortably above 200 FPS. This analysis breaks down how the resolution, CPU, and GPU each shape the final performance picture, using only the measured FPS data and component specifications available.

Resolution Scaling

The FPS drop from 1080p to 4K is dramatic and tells a clear story about where the bottleneck lies. At 1080p with Low settings, the combo produces 307.1 FPS, but stepping up to 2560x1440 Low drops that figure to 206 FPS, a reduction of roughly 33%. Moving further to 3840x2160 Low yields 117.5 FPS, which is a 62% decrease from the 1080p baseline. This steep scaling pattern indicates that at lower resolutions, the system is not being pushed to its graphical limits — the frame rates are so high that the CPU and GPU are likely not saturated, but as pixel count rises, the GPU begins to take on more work.

The Ultra settings curve shows a similar but slightly less severe proportional drop. At 1080p Ultra, the system achieves 201.3 FPS; at 1440p Ultra, it falls to 135 FPS (a 33% reduction); and at 4K Ultra, it hits 74.8 FPS (a 63% drop from 1080p). The consistency of this ~33% and ~63% scaling across Low and Ultra presets suggests that resolution is the primary scaling factor, and the component limiting performance is responding predictably to the increased pixel workload. The data implies the GPU is the limiting component at 4K, as the frame rates there are far below the CPU’s apparent ceiling, while at 1080p, the high FPS numbers hint that the CPU might be nearing its own limits — though the 307.1 FPS Low result shows there is still headroom.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 5 8400F brings a 6-core, 12-thread configuration based on the Zen 4 architecture, with a base clock of 4.20 GHz and a boost clock of 4.70 GHz. In Roblox, which is often sensitive to single-thread performance, this CPU’s 3dmark_single_thread score of 951 and passmark_single_thread score of 3684 suggest strong per-core capability. The benchmark results show that at 1080p Low, the system reaches 307.1 FPS, which is likely approaching the point where the CPU’s instruction throughput becomes a factor, even with only 6 cores active.

Comparing to its nearest rivals, the Ryzen 5 8400F’s average benchmark score is 25064, which is essentially tied with the AMD Ryzen 7 2700X (25057, deltaPct 0) and just 0.3% ahead of the AMD Ryzen 5 7500F (24993). This indicates that while the 8400F is a modern part, its raw multi-threaded performance is not dramatically higher than older or similarly positioned chips. In the context of Roblox, the 12 threads are more than sufficient for the game’s typical workload, and the data shows that resolution scaling, not core count, is what drives FPS changes. The CPU’s 65W TDP and DDR5 memory support (with 83.2 GB/s bandwidth) are secondary factors, but the measured FPS suggests the CPU is not the primary constraint except possibly at the highest frame rates.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 SUPER, with its 8 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 256-bit bus and 448.0 GB/s bandwidth, is the workhorse for rendering Roblox’s blocky worlds. The GPU’s 2176 shading units and boost clock of 1650 MHz provide the raw compute, and its passmark_g3d score of 16462 places it in the 63rd percentile of all GPUs. In the measured data, the GPU’s role becomes evident as resolution increases — at 4K, the average FPS across all settings ranges from 74.8 (Ultra) to 117.5 (Low), which is a clear sign that the GPU is struggling to fill the larger frame buffer.

The RTX 2060 SUPER’s nearest rivals in benchmark scores include the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070 (avgScore 19680, deltaPct 0.5) and the NVIDIA GeForce GTX TITAN (avgScore 19706, deltaPct 0.3), indicating that this GPU sits just below the RTX 2070 in overall compute power. For Roblox specifically, the 8 GB VRAM is more than adequate, and the data shows that the GPU is capable of high frame rates at 1440p — the 163.4 FPS High result at 2560x1440 is still smooth. The 4K Ultra result of 74.8 FPS is the only sub-100 FPS figure in the entire dataset, confirming that the GPU is the limiting component at that resolution, while at 1080p, it has ample headroom to push past 200 FPS.

Settings Recommendations

Based on the measured rows, the optimal settings balance depends heavily on the target resolution. At 1920x1080, the data shows that High settings (249.7 FPS) offer a massive frame rate advantage over Ultra (201.3 FPS) while still delivering visually rich graphics — the 48.4 FPS difference is substantial, and High is the recommended preset for competitive play or high refresh rate displays. Medium at 1080p (280.5 FPS) is also viable, but the jump from Medium to High costs only 30.8 FPS, making High the better visual trade-off.

At 2560x1440, the story shifts. High settings (163.4 FPS) are still excellent, but Medium (188.2 FPS) provides a more comfortable margin above the 144Hz refresh rate threshold. The Ultra preset at 1440p (135 FPS) is playable but noticeably slower, and Low (206 FPS) is only for those prioritizing maximum frame rates over visual fidelity. For 4K, the data strongly recommends Low settings (117.5 FPS) as the only preset that stays above 100 FPS; Medium (104.3 FPS) is acceptable, but High (92.3 FPS) and Ultra (74.8 FPS) dip into less desirable territory. The best overall experience per the measured rows is High at 1080p, as it combines a high frame rate (249.7 FPS) with better visual quality than Low or Medium.

How This Combo Ranks

The combo’s rank of 1269 out of 1800 tested combinations places it in the lower-middle tier of all system pairings in the database. This ranking is somewhat surprising given the high FPS numbers in Roblox, but it reflects the fact that Roblox is not a demanding title, and many other combos with higher-end CPUs or GPUs will achieve even higher frame rates. The percentile data for the individual components — the CPU is in the 82nd percentile, and the GPU is in the 63rd percentile — suggests that the CPU is relatively stronger than the GPU, which is consistent with the observation that the GPU becomes the bottleneck at 4K.

When interpreting the rank, it is important to note that this position is relative to all tested combos, many of which include more powerful hardware. The deltaPct values for the CPU’s rivals (e.g., the Ryzen 7 2700X is 0% different) show that the 8400F is not an outlier in its class. For Roblox specifically, the measured FPS data is what matters most, and this combo delivers a smooth experience at 1080p and 1440p, with only 4K Ultra falling below 75 FPS. The rank of 1269 suggests that while this is not a top-tier combo, it is far from the bottom, and its performance in Roblox is more than adequate for most users.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The complete set of measured average FPS values is as follows, organized by resolution and settings:

1920x1080: Low settings produce 307.1 FPS, Medium produces 280.5 FPS, High produces 249.7 FPS, and Ultra produces 201.3 FPS. The spread from Low to Ultra is 105.8 FPS, showing that settings have a significant impact at this resolution.

2560x1440: Low settings produce 206 FPS, Medium produces 188.2 FPS, High produces 163.4 FPS, and Ultra produces 135 FPS. The spread here is 71 FPS, which is narrower than at 1080p, indicating that the GPU is starting to limit the higher presets.

3840x2160: Low settings produce 117.5 FPS, Medium produces 104.3 FPS, High produces 92.3 FPS, and Ultra produces 74.8 FPS. The spread is 42.7 FPS, the smallest of all resolutions, confirming that the GPU is the dominant constraint at 4K.

These numbers show a consistent pattern: as resolution increases, the absolute FPS drops, and the relative difference between settings narrows. The data also reveals that even at 4K Low, the combo stays above 100 FPS, which is a solid result for a game like Roblox. The highest FPS figure (307.1 at 1080p Low) and the lowest (74.8 at 4K Ultra) bookend the performance range, giving a clear picture of what this hardware can achieve.
