Roblox

Roblox is a sandbox title with a release date of 2006-08-31, and the data shows that the pairing of the AMD Ryzen 7 5700 with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 SUPER produces markedly different frame rates depending on the resolution and quality preset selected. The measured results indicate that this combination is capable of very high performance at 1080p but begins to show the GPU's limitations as resolution scales upward. This analysis walks through the measured FPS rows, the combo's standing among 1800 tested combinations, and the implications for settings choices.

Resolution Scaling

The FPS drop from 1080p to 4K reveals where the bottleneck sits for this configuration. At 1920x1080 with High settings, the average FPS is 246.6; moving to 2560x1440 High drops that figure to 164.9, and at 3840x2160 High it falls to 94.3. That represents a 61.8% reduction in frame rate from 1080p to 4K, a steep decline that points directly to the GPU as the limiting component. The scaling pattern is consistent across all settings: Low at 1080p produces 309.1 FPS, which drops to 206.5 at 1440p and to 119 at 4K. The delta between 1440p and 4K is particularly telling—for High settings, the drop from 164.9 to 94.3 is a 42.8% loss, while the drop from 1080p to 1440p is 33.1%. This suggests that the RTX 2060 SUPER's compute resources are being saturated as pixel count rises, and the CPU is no longer the primary constraint at higher resolutions.

The data also shows that the gap between Low and Ultra settings widens at higher resolutions. At 1080p, Low yields 309.1 FPS while Ultra yields 199.1, a difference of 110 FPS. At 4K, Low yields 119 FPS while Ultra yields 73.7, a difference of 45.3 FPS. The absolute gap shrinks, but the relative penalty for Ultra becomes more severe: at 1080p, Ultra is 35.6% slower than Low, while at 4K, Ultra is 38.1% slower than Low. This indicates that the GPU's memory bandwidth and shading capacity are being pushed harder at 4K, making the quality preset choice matter more proportionally. The RTX 2060 SUPER's 8 GB of GDDR6 memory and 448.0 GB/s bandwidth appear sufficient for 1080p and 1440p, but the 4K results suggest the card is operating near its limits.

How This Combo Ranks

In the database of tested combinations, this specific pairing of CPU and GPU achieves a combo rank of 1257 out of 1800 total combos for Roblox. That places it in the 30th percentile of tested configurations, meaning roughly 70% of all CPU-GPU pairings tested in this game deliver higher average frame rates. The rank is notably lower than the individual component percentiles would suggest: the Ryzen 7 5700 sits at the 84th percentile among all CPUs, and the RTX 2060 SUPER sits at the 63rd percentile among all GPUs. The discrepancy between the combo's rank and the components' individual standings indicates that Roblox's performance characteristics do not reward this pairing as strongly as other games might.

Looking at the nearest rivals for the CPU, the Ryzen 7 5700 posts an average benchmark score of 27220, which is 0.7% ahead of the Intel Core i9-9900K (score 27043), 0.8% ahead of the Intel Core i7-12700H (score 27006), and 1.2% ahead of the AMD Ryzen AI 5 340 (score 26909). These deltas are small, suggesting that the CPU is not a differentiator in this game. For the GPU, the RTX 2060 SUPER's average benchmark score is 19774, which is 0.3% ahead of the NVIDIA GeForce GTX TITAN (score 19706), 0.5% ahead of the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070 (score 19680), and 1.3% ahead of the NVIDIA Quadro K5200 (score 19623). Again, the margins are narrow, but the RTX 2060 SUPER edges out these alternatives. The low combo rank despite these solid component scores suggests that Roblox's engine may be sensitive to factors beyond raw compute, such as driver overhead or specific architectural features.

Settings Recommendations

The measured FPS rows provide clear guidance for selecting a quality preset based on the target resolution. At 1920x1080, all four settings deliver playable frame rates, but the data favors Medium as the sweet spot. Medium yields 281.1 FPS, which is 9.0% higher than High (246.6) and only 9.1% lower than Low (309.1). Ultra at 1080p drops to 199.1 FPS, still above 60, but the 82 FPS penalty versus Medium suggests diminishing returns. For 2560x1440, Medium again looks optimal: 188.5 FPS versus 164.9 for High and 206.5 for Low. The gap between Medium and Low narrows to 18 FPS, while Ultra falls to 132.5. At 3840x2160, the choice becomes more consequential. Medium yields 106.8 FPS, which is acceptable, but High drops to 94.3 and Ultra to 73.7. Low at 4K produces 119 FPS, the highest of the four settings at that resolution.

The data indicates that Medium is the recommended preset for most use cases, as it consistently sits within 10% of Low's performance across all resolutions while providing visually superior quality. At 1080p, Medium's 281.1 FPS is within 9.1% of Low's 309.1, and at 1440p, the delta is 8.7%. At 4K, Medium's 106.8 FPS is within 10.3% of Low's 119. Ultra is only advisable at 1080p, where the 199.1 FPS remains well above typical refresh rates, but at 1440p and 4K the penalty becomes significant—30% and 31% slower than Medium, respectively.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the frame rates range from 199.1 FPS at Ultra to 309.1 FPS at Low. High produces 246.6 FPS, and Medium produces 281.1 FPS. The spread between Low and Ultra is 110 FPS, which is the largest absolute spread across any resolution. At 2560x1440, the range narrows: Low yields 206.5 FPS, Medium yields 188.5 FPS, High yields 164.9 FPS, and Ultra yields 132.5 FPS. The spread here is 74 FPS. At 3840x2160, the spread compresses further to 45.3 FPS: Low at 119 FPS, Medium at 106.8 FPS, High at 94.3 FPS, and Ultra at 73.7 FPS. This compression with increasing resolution reinforces the GPU-bound nature of the workload at 4K.

Looking at the pattern across settings, the relative ordering remains consistent: Low always outperforms Medium, which outperforms High, which outperforms Ultra. The only anomaly is that the gap between High and Medium widens at higher resolutions: at 1080p, High is 12.3% slower than Medium; at 1440p, High is 12.5% slower; at 4K, High is 11.7% slower. The gap between Medium and Low follows a similar trajectory, staying around 9-10% across all resolutions. The Ultra preset imposes a consistent penalty of roughly 19-20% versus High at each resolution, indicating that the additional effects enabled by Ultra have a uniform cost regardless of pixel count.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 SUPER is built on the Turing architecture with a TU106 chip on a 12 nm process. Its base clock is 1470 MHz with a boost clock of 1650 MHz, and it operates with 8 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 256-bit bus, delivering 448.0 GB/s of bandwidth. The card's memory clock is 1750 MHz, which translates to 14 Gbps effective. These specifications place the card at the 63rd percentile among all GPUs, with an average benchmark score of 19774. The nearest rival, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070, scores 19680, a 0.5% delta, meaning the 2060 SUPER is essentially on par with its higher-numbered sibling in this game's workload.

The GPU's role in Roblox becomes more pronounced at higher resolutions, as the measured FPS data shows. At 1080p, the frame rates are high enough (199-309 FPS) that the CPU is likely contributing to the ceiling, but at 4K, the GPU's shading units and memory bandwidth become the primary constraint. The card's 2176 shading units, 136 texture mapping units, and 64 ROPs deliver a pixel rate of 105.6 GPixel/s and a texture rate of 224.4 GTexel/s. The FP32 throughput of 7.181 TFLOPS is modest by modern standards but appears sufficient for Roblox's visual complexity at 1080p and 1440p. The RTX 2060 SUPER also includes 34 RT cores and 272 tensor cores, though Roblox's rendering pipeline likely does not leverage these specialized units significantly, as the game is not a ray-traced title. The card's 8 GB VRAM is ample for the measured settings, as no VRAM-related stutters are indicated in the FPS data.
