Roblox

Roblox is a light, blocky sandbox experience, but it can still be used to show how a high-end CPU and a mid-range GPU interact across multiple resolutions and settings. The data here covers an AMD Ryzen 7 9850X3D paired with an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070 SUPER, yielding measured frame rates from clear 1080p up to 4K. Overall, this combination ranks 2139th out of a pool of 3711 tested combos in Roblox—a mid-pack finish. The CPU is a powerhouse by itself, with a 92nd percentile rank among all CPUs, while the GPU holds a more modest 65th percentile. The frame-rate pattern across resolutions tells a clear story about which piece of the puzzle is carrying the load.

Resolution Scaling

The measured FPS numbers show a consistent, large drop as resolution climbs from 1920×1080 to 3840×2160, regardless of graphics preset. At Low settings, average FPS goes from 339 at 1080p down to 226 at 1440p, and finally to 128 at 4K. At Medium settings, the row goes from 308 to 206 to 116. High settings follow the same arc: 272 → 182 → 103, and with Ultra settings the figures are 221 → 148 → 83. In every preset, the fall from 1080p to 4K cuts the frame rate to roughly a third of its original value.

Scaling from 1080p to 1440p is proportionally smaller in overall terms than the jump from 1440p to 4K. For example, Low settings lose 113 FPS when moving from 1080p to 1440p, but lose another 98 when jumping from 1440p to 4K. The percentage drop gets steeper at the higher end. These figures indicate that the GPU, not the CPU, is the limiting resource when moving to higher pixel counts. At 1080p, the frame rate is often high enough that a large fraction of the raw numbers can be handled by the GPU’s 8 GB GDDR6 memory and 448.0 GB/s bandwidth, but at 4K the same card cannot maintain those levels.

It is also worth remembering the differences between settings at the same resolution are not uniform across the board. At 1080p, Ultra is 82 FPS slower than Low (221 vs 339). At 4K, that same difference shrinks to 45 FPS (83 vs 128). The relative impact of quality tiers becomes smaller at high resolution, because the GPU simply runs out of shader and memory headroom earlier. The overall pattern is a single limiting factor with clear dependencies on resolution and graphics weight.

CPU Role

The Ryzen 7 9850X3D is a desktop processor with 8 cores and 16 threads, built on TSMC’s 4 nm process in the Zen 5 architecture (Granite Ridge). It runs at a base clock of 4.70 GHz and a boost clock of 5.60 GHz, with 96 MB of shared L3 cache. It supports dual-channel DDR5 memory with a bandwidth of 89.6 GB/s and is unlocked for overclocking. Its measured CPU benchmarks are consistently strong: a Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 22807 and a single-core score of 2228, for instance. PassMark’s multithread result is 41318, and single-thread score is 4704.

Those numbers place the CPU in the 92nd percentile of all CPUs in the benchmark database. For Roblox—in this measured scenario—the CPU’s high single-core performance certainly helps sustain high frames, as the game rarely needs to spawn a few heavyweight threads. At 1080p Low, the combination reports 339 FPS, which already goes far beyond any of the process cores affect the result. A 224-core processor is not strongly inflated here; the data simply shows that the CPU is capable of feeding the GPU fast enough to keep the frame rate high in the lower half of the resolution scale. There is no measured FPS at CPU-only bottleneck at 1080p.

The benchmark data also contains a CPU’s nearest rivals, which share similar broad compute scores. The average score for the 9850X3D is 58386, with rivals such as the Intel Xeon Platinum 8260M (58312) and Xeon w5-2545 (58504) at less than 0.2% apart. These rivalries matter mainly for CPU-only workloads like compression or data sorting—not for Roblox’s graphics-bound rendering. Still, the CPU’s solid benchmark positioning ensures that high FPS at 1080p is not constrained by processor-based instruction execution.

How This Combo Ranks

According to the measured data, this exact CPU–GPU combination ranks 2139th out of 3711 tested combos in Roblox. That means there are 2138 combos ahead of it and 1572 behind. A rank in the middle of the field confirmate that, while the CPU is top‑tier, the fact that the graphics card sits only at a 65th percentile among all GPUs holds back the entire pairing. The GPU’s PassMark G3D score is 18169, and its average score is 20282, with near rivals such as the RTX 3070 Mobile at 20534 (difference -1.2%) and Arc A750 at 20582 (difference -1.5%). These scores are in a similar league to the RTX 2070 SUPER, which placed in the 65th percentile—so the data aligns.

Given the CPU’s 92 percentile and the GPU’s 65, the combo falls into the upper midfield. Roughly 58% of all tested combos are faster. The ranking is not dominated by either component; rather, the GPU, which is the main resolution limiter, keeps the system from climbing into the top quartile. In a game like Roblox that usually runs at 60+ FPS even on hardware far weaker, the measured FPS are actually quite strong at low resolutions, but the 4K average of just 83 FPS places it around the median of hard-core pairs.

| 1920×1080 | Medium | 308 | 262 | 354 |

| 1920×1080 | Ultra | 221 | – | – |

A few numbers stand out immediately. At 1080p Low, the combo soars past 300 FPS (339). Even at 4K Low, it stays at 128, which is a very comfortable frame for most displays. The highest average value for the entire table is the 1920×1080 Medium row (310 FPS) but that row only shows a single average number; the Medium rows, when available, show a tight range: at 1080p, minimum 262, maximum 354; at 1440p, range is 175–709; at 4K, range is 99–134. The presence of these min/max columns indicates that the lowest frames are still consistently above 60 FPS even at 4K, with the dramatic exception of the 4K Medium’s 99 FPS min. For each resolution, the Medium preset falls neatly between Low and High in terms of average or extreme.

Settings Recommendations

The measured rows let us rank the experience based on needed frame headroom. If the goal is the smoothest reaction to frame time, 1080p Low at 339 FPS is the raw winner. However, if you prefer a balance of image quality and frame stability at that resolution, the Medium preset provides 310 average FPS with a minimum of 262 FPS—no frame below the 60 FPS threshold. Ultra at 1080p still offers 221 average, but it costs about 87 FPS versus Medium; that is a trade bang between clarity and screen rate most gamers might not need.

From a different perspective, consider that 1440p Medium scores 206 average, which is near the 165–237 Hz window. If a user is running a 170–220 Hz display, that is far alongside. For 4K, the only tab with full information is Medium, with 116 average and a min of 99. The 4K Low register drops noticeably to 128 average, while Ultra only gets 83. Therefore, at 4K, the best experience according to the data is Medium: it holds the least frame loss as the pixel count grows but still provides a clear picture.

In short, the recommended preset over the entire set is Medium—it gives the most uniform – a strong mix of average FPS and avoids the extreme dips that appear at Ultra. For the least demanding case, 1080p Low is an outlier, but medium yields more spectacle for only a small FPS penalty.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070 SUPER is the piece that scales the resolution either directly. It carries a TU104 chip, Turing architecture, 12 nm process, 4.06 million transistors, and a die size of 545 mm². Its clock runs at a base of 1605 MHz and boost of 1770 MHz. Memory is 8 GB of GDDR6 with a 256-bit bus and a bandwidth of 448.0 GB/s, operated at 14 Gbps effective. The shader unit count is 2560, alongside 160 TMUs, 64 ROPs, 40 RT cores, and 320 tensor cores. Its pixel rate is 113.3 GPixel/s, and texture rate is 283.2 GTexel/s, with FP32 compute at 9.062 TFLOPS.

These numbers are not percentages, but they set a ceiling for the GPU’s ability to drive a scene at large numbers of pixels. The Passmark G3D result of 18169 and a percentile of 65 among all GPUs reflect it as a middle-ground graphics card. The nearest rivals are all within a 1-30 range in average score: the Quadro M4000M (20480), the RTX 3070 Mobile (20534), the Arc B570 (20556), and the Arc A750 (20582). Those close scores mean the 2070 SUPER should be placed somewhere in the same region, and for someone playing Roblox the difference matters only at 4K where the frame count gets low.

The GPU role is also evidence that the CPU is not the real bottleneck in higher resolutions: every Medium row keeps its min/max within the GPU’s margin, while at 4K the Ultra drops to 83 FPS. Roblox’s art style is light, but the 2070 SUPER still has to run a 256-bit memory bus and give a total average of 64 FPS at all four 4K profiles. The 8 GB memory is sufficient for the sandbox, because this type of game recreation uses less than that at any settings. The overall message is simple: this CPU is an overpowered match for a 2070 SUPER, placing the limit cap on the graphics card. In Roblox, that still means very capable FPS, because the artificial GPU stays in the 60–340 range across presets. For gamers who want to push beyond the 120 FPS ceiling in heavy 4K scenes, the GPU will have to be upgraded—that’s the strong conclusion the measured rows support.
