GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 uses the AD107 chip on the Ada Lovelace architecture, built on a 5 nm process. It carries 8 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 128-bit bus, providing 272.0 GB/s of bandwidth. The GPU's base clock is 1830 MHz, with a boost clock of 2460 MHz. Memory operates at 2125 MHz, translating to 17 Gbps effective.

The recorded data shows this GPU delivers very high frame rates in Roblox across all tested resolutions. At 1080p, even the Ultra preset averages 238 FPS, while the Low preset reaches 364 FPS. The GPU has 3072 shading units, 96 texture mapping units, and 48 raster operation units. It also includes 24 ray tracing cores and 96 tensor cores, though Roblox's rendering workload appears to rely more on the traditional shading pipeline given the high frame rates.

The GPU's pixel rate is 118.1 GPixel/s and texture rate is 236.2 GTexel/s, with FP32 compute at 15.11 TFLOPS. These specifications suggest the card has ample throughput for a sandbox title like Roblox, which tends to use simpler geometry and lighting models compared to modern AAA titles. The 8 GB VRAM capacity is not a limiting factor in any of the measured configurations, as frame rates remain high even at 4K Ultra, where the average is 90 FPS.

The RTX 4060's benchmark scores show a PassMark G3D score of 19545 and a Geekbench OpenCL score of 95057. Its DirectX 12 score is 76, while DirectX 11 scores 175. These numbers place it in the 61st percentile of all GPUs, with an average benchmark score of 17639. The nearest rival, the AMD Radeon HD 7790, scores 17666, which is only 0.2% higher, indicating the two cards are statistically close in aggregate performance despite their generational gap.

How This Combo Ranks

The combination of the AMD Ryzen 7 3700X and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 ranks 1990 out of 3711 tested combinations for Roblox. This places it in the upper half of all tested systems, though not near the top. The percentile position suggests many higher-end combos achieve even greater frame rates in this title.

The CPU's percentileVsAllCpus is 84, meaning it outperforms 84% of all processors in the database. The GPU's percentileVsAllGpus is 61. This mismatch indicates the CPU is relatively stronger than the GPU when compared against their respective pools. For a sandbox game like Roblox, which often has CPU-bound sections due to user-generated content and physics simulation, this balance may be beneficial.

The rank of 1990 out of 3711 translates to roughly the 46th percentile of tested combos. This is lower than the individual component percentiles would suggest, likely because Roblox's performance ceiling is reachable by many mid-range GPUs at lower resolutions. The data shows the combo delivers over 200 FPS at 1440p High and over 290 FPS at 1080p High, so the rank reflects that many other systems also achieve very high frame rates in this game, compressing the performance spread.

The nearest rival CPUs to the Ryzen 7 3700X all have average benchmark scores within 0.5% of 34260. The AMD Ryzen AI 7 350 scores 34222 (0.1% lower), the AMD EPYC 4244P scores 34220 (0.1% lower), the Intel Core i5-13450HX scores 34333 (0.2% higher), and the Intel Core Ultra 7 165H scores 34083 (0.5% lower). This suggests the CPU is well positioned in its performance class.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the measured data shows the following averages: Low preset delivers 364 FPS, Medium delivers 332 FPS with a minimum of 282 and maximum of 381, High delivers 293 FPS, and Ultra delivers 238 FPS. The spread from Low to Ultra is 126 FPS, indicating settings have a substantial impact at this resolution.

At 2560x1440, the averages are: Low at 243 FPS, Medium at 221 FPS with a minimum of 188 and maximum of 255, High at 196 FPS, and Ultra at 159 FPS. The spread from Low to Ultra is 84 FPS, narrower than at 1080p. The Medium preset's minimum of 188 FPS still exceeds the refresh rate of most 1440p monitors, which typically cap at 144 Hz or 165 Hz.

At 3840x2160, the averages are: Low at 138 FPS, Medium at 125 FPS with a minimum of 106 and maximum of 144, High at 111 FPS, and Ultra at 90 FPS. The spread from Low to Ultra is 48 FPS, the smallest of all three resolutions. Even at 4K Ultra, the average of 90 FPS remains playable, and the Medium preset's minimum of 106 FPS ensures consistent frame delivery.

The data indicates diminishing returns from settings reductions as resolution increases. At 1080p, dropping from Ultra to Low gains 126 FPS. At 1440p, the same change gains 84 FPS. At 4K, it gains only 48 FPS. This pattern suggests the GPU becomes more of a limiting factor at higher resolutions, so settings adjustments have less absolute impact.

Resolution Scaling

Moving from 1920x1080 to 2560x1440, the average FPS drops by 71 FPS on the Low preset (364 to 243), by 111 FPS on Medium (332 to 221), by 97 FPS on High (293 to 196), and by 79 FPS on Ultra (238 to 159). The percentage drops are approximately 33% for Low, 33% for Medium, 33% for High, and 33% for Ultra.

Moving from 2560x1440 to 3840x2160, the average FPS drops by 105 FPS on Low (243 to 138), by 96 FPS on Medium (221 to 125), by 85 FPS on High (196 to 111), and by 69 FPS on Ultra (159 to 90). The percentage drops are approximately 43% for Low, 43% for Medium, 43% for High, and 43% for Ultra.

The consistency of these percentage drops across settings within each resolution step suggests the scaling is driven primarily by pixel count. The jump from 1440p to 4K increases pixel count by 2.25x, and the observed frame rate drops to roughly 57% of the 1440p value, close to the 44% reduction that pure pixel throughput would predict. This indicates the GPU is the primary scaling factor in these transitions.

The fact that Low and Ultra presets show nearly identical percentage drops at each resolution step implies the CPU is not the bottleneck in these transitions. If the CPU were limiting, lower settings would show smaller FPS drops when resolution increases, because the GPU would have more headroom. The data does not show this pattern.

Settings Recommendations

The measured rows show that the Medium preset offers a balanced experience across all resolutions. At 1080p, Medium averages 332 FPS with a minimum of 282 FPS. At 1440p, Medium averages 221 FPS with a minimum of 188 FPS. At 4K, Medium averages 125 FPS with a minimum of 106 FPS. In every case, the minimum FPS stays above 100, which ensures smooth frame pacing.

The High preset provides a modest visual upgrade over Medium but costs 39 FPS at 1080p, 25 FPS at 1440p, and 14 FPS at 4K. The Ultra preset costs an additional 55 FPS over High at 1080p, 37 FPS at 1440p, and 21 FPS at 4K. These increments suggest that the visual gains from Ultra may not justify the frame rate sacrifice for competitive play, though for slower-paced sandbox experiences the 90 FPS minimum at 4K Ultra remains acceptable.

The Low preset delivers the highest frame rates, with 364 FPS at 1080p, 243 FPS at 1440p, and 138 FPS at 4K. However, the Low preset likely disables visual effects that can matter in Roblox's user-generated worlds, such as shadows and lighting details. The Medium preset appears to be the sweet spot in the data, since it maintains high averages while keeping minimums well above common monitor refresh rates.
