Roblox

This CPU and GPU pairing lands in the 1081st position out of 1800 tested combos for Roblox, placing it in the 60th percentile of all configurations. That rank reflects a system that is firmly mid-pack for this title, but the measured frame rates tell a more nuanced story than the raw ranking suggests. The Ryzen 7 9700X and RTX 2070 SUPER combo delivers triple-digit FPS at every tested resolution and settings level, which is the headline takeaway for a game like Roblox where high refresh rates matter more than absolute graphical fidelity.

How This Combo Ranks

The 1081st rank out of 1800 combos means this pairing sits just past the midpoint of all tested configurations for Roblox. That positioning makes sense given the hardware mix: the CPU is a modern high-end part, while the GPU is an older mid-range card. The data shows that this combo outperforms roughly 40% of tested systems and underperforms roughly 60% of them. Importantly, the rank is not a judgment of playability — the measured FPS numbers across all twelve test scenarios exceed 84 FPS, which is well above playable thresholds for most users. The ranking likely suffers from the GPU being the limiting factor in a game that can be surprisingly demanding on certain hardware paths. The RTX 2070 SUPER sits at the 65th percentile among all GPUs, while the Ryzen 7 9700X ranks at the 89th percentile among CPUs, so this combo pairs a top-tier processor with a mid-tier graphics card. That imbalance drags the overall combo rank down relative to what the CPU alone might suggest, but the practical impact in Roblox is minimal because the game rarely pushes either component to its absolute limit simultaneously.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070 SUPER brings 8 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 256-bit bus, delivering 448.0 GB/s of bandwidth. Its base clock runs at 1605 MHz with a boost clock of 1770 MHz, and the card uses the TU104 chip built on a 12 nm process. These specifications place the GPU at the 65th percentile among all tested graphics cards, with an average benchmark score of 22206. Its nearest rivals include the NVIDIA RTX A400 (0.5% lower score), the GTX TITAN Z (0.9% higher), the RTX 4060 Mobile (2.3% higher), and the AMD RX 5700 (2.5% lower). In Roblox specifically, the GPU's 8 GB VRAM capacity proved sufficient at all tested settings — even at 4K Ultra, the card held 84.5 FPS, indicating no VRAM-related stuttering or bottlenecks. The memory bandwidth of 448.0 GB/s is ample for a game with relatively simple textures and geometry, which explains why the GPU does not become a hard constraint until the highest settings at 4K. The card's 2560 shading units and 64 ROPs handle Roblox's rendering workload efficiently, and the 40 RT cores and 320 tensor cores are largely irrelevant for this title since Roblox does not use ray tracing or DLSS in any meaningful way.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 7 9700X is an 8-core, 16-thread processor based on the Zen 5 architecture (Granite Ridge), manufactured on a 4 nm process. It runs at a base clock of 3.80 GHz with a boost clock of 5.50 GHz, and supports DDR5 memory with dual-channel bandwidth of 89.6 GB/s. The CPU's benchmark scores are strong: Cinebench R23 multi-core hits 31588 and single-core hits 4459, while Geekbench multi-core reaches 17002 and single-core 3353. These numbers place the 9700X at the 89th percentile among all CPUs, with an average benchmark score of 36029. Its nearest rivals in synthetic testing are the Intel Core i5-14500HX (0.2% higher score), Intel Core Ultra 9 185H (0.4% lower), AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 5845 (0.6% higher), and Intel Core Ultra 5 225H (0.8% lower). In Roblox, the CPU's single-thread performance is what matters most, since the game's physics and scripting engine is largely single-threaded. The 4459 single-core score in Cinebench R23 and 3353 in Geekbench single-core explain why the combo sustains high FPS even at 1080p, where CPU load is relatively higher compared to GPU load. The 32 MB of shared L3 cache also helps with the game's asset streaming. The 9700X's 65 W TDP is notably low for an 8-core part, which means thermal throttling is unlikely to be an issue in most chassis.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The measured data covers three resolutions (1920x1080, 2560x1440, 3840x2160) and four settings levels (Low, Medium, High, Ultra). At 1080p, the combo delivers 342 FPS on Low, 307.5 FPS on Medium, 272.2 FPS on High, and 223.5 FPS on Ultra. Moving to 1440p, the numbers drop to 226.8 FPS on Low, 209.1 FPS on Medium, 183.6 FPS on High, and 148.8 FPS on Ultra. At 4K, the results are 127.3 FPS on Low, 117.1 FPS on Medium, 105.2 FPS on High, and 84.5 FPS on Ultra. The key observation is that even the worst-case scenario — 4K Ultra — maintains 84.5 FPS, which is comfortably above 60 FPS and near the threshold for high-refresh-rate gaming. The best-case scenario at 1080p Low yields 342 FPS, which exceeds the refresh rate of virtually all consumer monitors. The scaling between settings levels is consistent: moving from Low to Ultra at any resolution costs roughly 35-40% of the FPS, with the largest absolute drop occurring at 1080p (118.5 FPS difference) and the smallest at 4K (42.8 FPS difference).

Resolution Scaling

The FPS drop from 1080p to 4K reveals that this combo becomes GPU-limited at higher resolutions, but the CPU remains capable throughout. From 1080p Low (342 FPS) to 4K Low (127.3 FPS), the frame rate falls by 62.8%. For Ultra settings, the drop from 1080p (223.5 FPS) to 4K (84.5 FPS) is 62.2%. This consistent ~62% reduction across settings levels indicates that resolution scaling is the dominant factor, not settings complexity. The diminishing returns are visible: the gap between 1080p and 1440p averages about 30-35% FPS loss, while the gap between 1440p and 4K averages about 40-45% loss. This pattern suggests the RTX 2070 SUPER's 448.0 GB/s memory bandwidth and 8 GB VRAM start to strain at 4K, particularly on Ultra where the 84.5 FPS result is the only scenario below 100 FPS. The CPU's role in this scaling is minimal — the 9700X's single-thread performance is sufficient to feed the GPU even at 1080p, where the 342 FPS result indicates the CPU is not the bottleneck. If the CPU were limiting, we would expect to see smaller FPS differences between resolutions, but the data shows large, consistent drops, confirming the GPU is the primary constraint as resolution increases.

FAQ

Q: Is this combo playable at 4K for Roblox?

A: Yes. The lowest measured result is 84.5 FPS at 4K Ultra, which is well above the 60 FPS threshold. At 4K Low, it reaches 127.3 FPS, so even maximum resolution is playable.

Q: What is the best settings level for competitive play?

A: For maximum FPS, 1080p Low delivers 342 FPS, which is ideal for high-refresh-rate monitors. If you need better visuals, 1080p High still holds 272.2 FPS.

Q: Does the CPU bottleneck the GPU in this game?

A: No. The 9700X's 4459 single-core score in Cinebench R23 is more than sufficient for Roblox, as evidenced by the 342 FPS result at 1080p Low. The GPU becomes the limiting factor at higher resolutions.

Q: How does this combo compare to the RTX 4060 Mobile in GPU performance?

A: The RTX 2070 SUPER has an average benchmark score of 22206, which is 2.3% lower than the RTX 4060 Mobile's score of 22729. In practical terms, they perform nearly identically in this game.

Q: Is 8 GB of VRAM enough for Roblox at 4K Ultra?

A: Yes. The measured 84.5 FPS at 4K Ultra confirms the 8 GB GDDR6 memory is sufficient. Roblox's simple textures do not require more VRAM capacity.

Q: What frame rate can I expect at 1440p with this combo?

A: The measured results range from 226.8 FPS on Low to 148.8 FPS on Ultra. At High settings, which is a common choice, you get 183.6 FPS.
