Roblox

The Intel Core i5-12400 paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070 SUPER delivers exceptional performance in Roblox, with all measured settings at 1080p exceeding 220 FPS on average. The data indicates that this combination is heavily overqualified for the game's rendering demands, pushing frame rates far beyond standard display refresh rates. The benchmark results show a clear performance hierarchy across the four tested presets, with the limiting factor shifting from the GPU at higher resolutions to the CPU at 1080p.

Settings Recommendations

The measured data shows that the Ultra preset at 1920x1080 yields an average of 222.7 FPS, which remains vastly superior to the 60-144 Hz refresh rates of most displays. While the Low preset achieves the highest framerate at 341.1 FPS, the difference between Low and Ultra at 1080p is 118.4 FPS, representing a 34.7% drop in performance for the highest visual fidelity. Benchmark results indicate that the High preset at 273.4 FPS offers the best balance, delivering 97.5% of the performance headroom needed for a 240 Hz display while providing significantly better visual quality than Low or Medium.

At 2560x1440, the High preset maintains a robust 183.8 FPS average, which still comfortably exceeds 144 Hz refresh rates. The Ultra preset at this resolution drops to 149.1 FPS, still playable but with less headroom for demanding scenes. The Medium preset at 207.1 FPS and Low at 229.2 FPS provide diminishing returns in smoothness relative to their visual quality sacrifices. The data suggests that High settings at 1440p offer the optimal experience for users with high-refresh-rate monitors.

For 3840x2160, the High preset produces 106.1 FPS, which is adequate for 60 Hz displays but marginal for 120 Hz panels. The Ultra preset falls to 86.2 FPS, while Medium achieves 113.8 FPS and Low reaches 127.7 FPS. Given the steep performance cost of Ultra at 4K (a 19.9 FPS drop from High), the High preset represents the sensible ceiling for 4K gaming, with Medium as a viable alternative for smoother motion on higher refresh displays.

GPU Role

The RTX 2070 SUPER features 8 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 256-bit bus, delivering 448.0 GB/s of bandwidth. The GPU's memory clocks run at 1750 MHz, with a 14 Gbps effective data rate. The core operates at a base clock of 1605 MHz with a boost clock of 1770 MHz. These specifications place the GPU in the 65th percentile against all tested GPUs, with an average benchmark score of 22206.

The GPU's nearest rivals in the database include the NVIDIA RTX A400, which scores 0.5% higher, and the AMD Radeon RX 5700, which trails by 2.5%. The RTX 2070 SUPER also edges out the NVIDIA GeForce GTX TITAN Z by 0.9% and leads the RTX 4060 Mobile by 2.3%. In Roblox, the GPU's role becomes evident in the resolution scaling: at 1080p, the framerate ceiling is likely set by the CPU, but at 4K, the GPU's rendering throughput dictates performance. The benchmark data shows that the GPU can handle Roblox's load even at 4K Ultra with an average above 86 FPS, indicating that the 8 GB VRAM capacity is not a limiting factor in this title.

Q: Does the CPU bottleneck appear at any tested resolution?

A: The data suggests a CPU limit emerges at 1080p, where the framerate gap between Low (341.1 FPS) and Ultra (222.7 FPS) is 118.4 FPS, indicating the CPU cannot fully utilize the GPU at lower resolutions.

How This Combo Ranks

The Intel Core i5-12400 and RTX 2070 SUPER combination ranks 1080th out of 1800 tested combos in Roblox, placing it in the 40th percentile overall. This ranking reflects the fact that Roblox is not a demanding title, and many lower-tier GPUs paired with stronger CPUs achieve similar framerates. The CPU itself sits in the 77th percentile against all processors, with an average benchmark score of 19850. Its nearest rivals include the Intel Core i7-9700, which scores 0.1% higher, and the Intel Core i7-8700, which trails by 0.2%.

The GPU's 65th percentile ranking is more modest, but its performance in Roblox is constrained by the game's low graphical requirements and the CPU's capability. The combo's rank of 1080 out of 1800 indicates that while this hardware is capable of excellent framerates, other combinations with less powerful GPUs or more powerful CPUs may rank higher due to the game's CPU-bound nature at lower resolutions. The data shows that this pairing is well-balanced for general gaming, but in Roblox specifically, the CPU becomes the primary bottleneck once the resolution drops below 4K.

Resolution Scaling

The framerate progression across resolutions reveals a classic GPU-bound scaling pattern at higher settings. At High settings, the average framerate drops from 273.4 FPS at 1080p to 183.8 FPS at 1440p (a 32.8% reduction) and then to 106.1 FPS at 4K (a 42.3% reduction from 1440p). The total drop from 1080p to 4K is 167.3 FPS, indicating that the GPU's rendering throughput is the limiting factor as pixel count increases.

At Low settings, the scaling is less severe: 341.1 FPS at 1080p falls to 229.2 FPS at 1440p (32.8% drop) and then to 127.7 FPS at 4K (44.3% drop from 1440p). The Ultra preset shows the steepest drop: 222.7 FPS at 1080p falls to 149.1 FPS at 1440p (33.0% drop) and then to 86.2 FPS at 4K (42.2% drop from 1440p). The consistent 32-33% drop from 1080p to 1440p across all settings suggests that the CPU still has headroom to feed the GPU at 1440p, while the larger 42-44% drop from 1440p to 4K indicates the GPU is nearing its limits. This pattern confirms that at 1080p, the CPU is the primary limiting component, while at 4K, the GPU takes over as the bottleneck.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the benchmark results show a clear progression: Low averages 341.1 FPS, Medium averages 307.5 FPS, High averages 273.4 FPS, and Ultra averages 222.7 FPS. The gaps between presets are 33.6 FPS (Low to Medium), 34.1 FPS (Medium to High), and 50.7 FPS (High to Ultra), indicating that the Ultra preset imposes the largest performance penalty.

At 2560x1440, the averages are Low 229.2 FPS, Medium 207.1 FPS, High 183.8 FPS, and Ultra 149.1 FPS. The absolute differences between presets shrink compared to 1080p: 22.1 FPS from Low to Medium, 23.3 FPS from Medium to High, and 34.7 FPS from High to Ultra. This tightening suggests the GPU is beginning to limit performance more heavily.

At 3840x2160, the averages fall to Low 127.7 FPS, Medium 113.8 FPS, High 106.1 FPS, and Ultra 86.2 FPS. The differences are now 13.9 FPS (Low to Medium), 7.7 FPS (Medium to High), and 19.9 FPS (High to Ultra). The smaller gaps at 4K indicate that all presets are constrained by the GPU's pixel throughput, and the Ultra preset's additional effects cost the most relative performance. The data confirms that this hardware combination delivers playable framerates at all tested settings and resolutions, with the best experience available at 1080p High or 1440p High for high-refresh displays.
