# Roblox with AMD Ryzen 5 8400F + NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070

The AMD Ryzen 5 8400F paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 delivers exceptional frame rates in Roblox, with measured averages ranging from 132 FPS at 4K Ultra to 537 FPS at 1080p Low. This combination ranks 789th out of 3,711 tested combos in this game, placing it in the top 21% of all configurations. The data shows a system that is heavily GPU-bound at higher resolutions but transitions to CPU-bound behavior at 1080p, where the Ryzen 5 8400F's six Zen 4 cores become the limiting factor in this sandbox title.

Resolution Scaling

The measured FPS data reveals how performance degrades as resolution increases from 1920x1080 to 3840x2160. At High settings, the average frame rate drops from 432 FPS at 1080p to 288 FPS at 1440p, a reduction of 144 FPS or exactly one-third. Moving from 1440p to 4K High, the average falls further to 163 FPS, representing another 125 FPS decrease. This scaling pattern indicates that the RTX 5070's rendering workload expands substantially with pixel count, yet remains manageable for this game's relatively modest graphics demands.

At Low settings, the resolution scaling is even more pronounced in absolute terms. The system produces 537 FPS at 1080p, 358 FPS at 1440p, and 203 FPS at 4K. The 179 FPS drop from 1080p to 1440p and the subsequent 155 FPS drop to 4K suggest that at Low settings, the GPU is still able to push frame rates well beyond typical display refresh rates, but the pixel throughput requirements at 4K begin to constrain performance more significantly.

The Medium settings data provides the only complete min/max information in the measured set. At 1080p Medium, the average is 489 FPS with a minimum of 415 and maximum of 562. At 1440p Medium, the average drops to 326 FPS with a range of 277 to 375. At 4K Medium, the average is 184 FPS with a minimum of 157 and maximum of 212. The consistency of these ranges, with minimums staying within roughly 15-20% of averages, indicates stable frame pacing across all resolutions.

Ultra settings show the steepest resolution penalty. The average drops from 350 FPS at 1080p to 234 FPS at 1440p, then to 132 FPS at 4K. The 4K Ultra result is the only measured average below 144 FPS, suggesting that even at maximum settings, this combination generally maintains high refresh rate performance. The scaling from 1080p Ultra to 4K Ultra shows a 62.3% reduction in frame rate, which aligns with the increased pixel count from approximately 2 million to 8.3 million pixels.

The limiting component shifts depending on resolution. At 1080p, the Ryzen 5 8400F's single-thread performance, evidenced by its 3DMark single-thread score of 951, likely caps frame rates around the 350-537 FPS range. At 4K, the RTX 5070's pixel fill rate of 201.0 GPixel/s and texture rate of 482.3 GTexel/s become the determining factors, producing the 132-203 FPS range. The 4 nm Ryzen 5 8400F shows strong scaling efficiency, as the gap between Low and Ultra settings narrows from 187 FPS at 1080p to only 71 FPS at 4K, indicating that GPU load dominates at higher resolutions.
