Roblox

The Intel Core i5-10400F paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 is an exceptionally strong combination for Roblox, delivering high frame rates across all tested settings and resolutions. The benchmark data shows this combo achieves a combo rank of 1990 out of 3711 tested configurations, placing it in the upper half of all systems. With average FPS figures ranging from 90 at 4K Ultra to 364 at 1080p Low, this setup is clearly capable of leveraging high-refresh-rate monitors, though the data suggests that the CPU begins to play a more significant role at lower resolutions and higher settings.

Settings Recommendations

The measured FPS data provides a clear picture of how different presets perform. At 1920x1080, the Ultra preset delivers an average of 238 FPS, while the High preset jumps to 293 FPS, Medium hits 332 FPS, and Low reaches 364 FPS. The scaling from Ultra to Low at 1080p shows a substantial 126 FPS difference, indicating that graphical settings have a strong impact on performance at this resolution knowledge of the game’s engine. For most players, the High preset at 1080p is the sweet spot, offering 293 FPS average while presumably maintaining better visual fidelity than Medium or Low.

At 2560x1440, the Ultra preset averages 159 FPS, which is already above the refresh rate of most standard 144Hz monitors. However, the High preset at 1440p provides 196 FPS, giving additional headroom for competitive play. The Medium preset at 1440p averages 221 FPS with a minimum of 188 FPS, making it the most consistent option for high-refresh-rate gaming at this resolution. The Low preset at 1440p reaches 243 FPS, but the visual trade-off may not be worth the extra 47 FPS over High.

For 4K (3840x2160), the High preset holds an average of 111 FPS, which is suitable for smooth gameplay on a 60Hz or 120Hz display. The Medium preset at 4K averages 125 FPS with a minimum of 106 FPS, offering a good balance of quality and performance. The Ultra preset at 4K drops to 90 FPS, which is still playable but leaves less headroom for demanding scenes. The Low preset at 4K averages 138 FPS, but the visual degradation at this resolution is likely noticeable. The data suggests that Medium at 4K is the most sensible choice, as it provides the highest average FPS among the settings that maintain acceptable visual quality.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 features 8 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 128-bit bus, yielding a bandwidth of 272.0 GB/s. The GPU has a base clock of 1830 MHz and a boost clock of 2460 MHz, with a memory clock of 2125 MHz (17 Gbps effective). These specifications are relevant to Roblox performance, as the game’s blocky geometry and often simple textures can be memory-light, but the 8 GB capacity ensures no VRAM-related bottlenecks at any of the tested resolutions.

The GPU’s 3072 shading units and 48 ROPs, combined with a pixel rate of 118.1 GPixel/s and a texture rate of 236.2 GTexel/s, provide ample raw compute for Roblox’s rendering workload. The RTX 4060’s FP32 performance of 15.11 TFLOPS is more than sufficient for this title, which explains the high frame rates observed across all settings. The card’s 24 RT cores and 96 tensor cores are present, though Roblox does not heavily utilize ray tracing or DLSS in the measured scenarios.

The GPU’s average benchmark score of 17639 places it in the 61st percentile of all GPUs, with nearest rivals including the AMD Radeon HD 7790 (0.2% slower), AMD Radeon 780M (0.3% faster), AMD Radeon Pro 560 (0.5% faster), and AMD Radeon Pro 460 (0.7% faster). While these rivals are not gaming-focused cards, the delta percentages are minimal, indicating that the RTX 4060 sits in a tightly packed performance tier. In Roblox specifically, the GPU is rarely the limiting factor, as evidenced by the high FPS at 4K where the GPU load is highest.

Resolution Scaling

The FPS data reveals a clear scaling pattern as resolution increases. At 1080p High, the average is 293 FPS; at 1440p High, it drops to 196 FPS; and at 4K High, it falls to 111 FPS. This represents a 33% reduction from 1080p to 1440p, and a 62% reduction from 1080p to 4K. For the Low preset, the scaling is similar: 364 FPS at 1080p, 243 FPS at 1440p, and 138 FPS at 4K, showing a 33% drop to 1440p and a 62% drop to 4K.

The consistency of these percentage drops across different settings suggests that the scaling is primarily driven by the GPU, as the RTX 4060’s workload increases with pixel count. However, the absolute FPS values remain very high even at 4K, indicating that neither the CPU nor GPU is being pushed to its limits in this game. The fact that the 1080p Low preset achieves 364 FPS, which is well above the refresh rate of most monitors, implies that the CPU’s single-thread performance (a 3dmark single-thread score of 688) is sufficient to feed the GPU at these frame rates.

The data suggests that the limiting component at lower resolutions and higher settings is the CPU, as the FPS does not scale linearly with GPU load. For example, at 1080p, moving from Low to Ultra only reduces performance by 35% (364 to 238 FPS), whereas at 4K, the same setting change reduces performance by 35% as well (138 to 90 FPS). This parallel scaling indicates that the game is well-optimized for this hardware combination, with neither component creating a serious bottleneck.

How This Combo Ranks

This specific combination of the Intel Core i5-10400F and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 achieves a combo rank of 1990 out of 3711 tested combos in Roblox, placing it in the top 54th percentile of all tested systems. While this rank may seem middle-of-the-road, it is important to consider that the database includes many high-end configurations with more recent CPUs and GPUs. The i5-10400F itself has a percentile rank of 68 versus all CPUs, with an average benchmark score of 14185, placing it slightly above the median processor.

The CPU’s nearest rivals in synthetic benchmarks include the Intel Xeon 6756E (0.2% faster), Intel Core 7 160UL (0.3% slower), AMD EPYC 7552 (0.5% faster), and AMD Ryzen 3 7320C (0.6% slower). These deltas are all under 1%, indicating that the i5-10400F performs on par with a wide range of server and mobile processors in general benchmarks, though its gaming performance is bolstered by its 6 cores and 12 threads. In Roblox, the combo’s rank of 1990 suggests that there are many systems with faster frame rates, but the measured FPS figures show this setup is far from struggling, especially at 1080p and 1440p.

The RTX 4060’s percentile rank of 61 versus all GPUs, with an average benchmark score of 17639, is slightly lower than the CPU’s percentile, suggesting that the GPU may be the weaker link in this pairing. However, in Roblox, the GPU’s performance is more than adequate, as demonstrated by the 4K results. The combo rank of 1990 likely reflects the presence of many systems with higher-end GPUs like the RTX 4070 or RX 7800 XT, but the data shows that this combo delivers a smooth experience at all tested settings.
