Roblox

The data for Roblox with the Intel Core i5-12400F and AMD Radeon RX 6700 XT shows a combination that is overwhelmingly capable of delivering high frame rates across all tested resolutions and settings. The measured results place this combo in the 995th position out of 1800 tested combinations, a solidly above-average standing. The analysis below breaks down how this pairing behaves under different loads, what the numbers reveal about the limiting components, and how to configure the game for the best experience.

Resolution Scaling

The frame rate progression from 1080p to 4K reveals a clear and consistent pattern of scaling, with the largest absolute drops occurring at higher resolutions. At the Low preset, the average FPS falls from 366.8 at 1920x1080 to 246.7 at 2560x1440, a reduction of 120.1 FPS, and then further to 139.2 at 3840x2160, another drop of 107.5 FPS. This steep decline indicates that the rendering load is scaling heavily with pixel count, which is typical for a game like Roblox that relies on the GPU for most of its visual output.

The High preset shows a similar but slightly less dramatic trend. Starting at 298.4 FPS at 1080p, the average drops to 198.7 at 1440p (a 99.7 FPS loss) and then to 112.8 at 4K (an 85.9 FPS loss). The Ultra preset, which is the most demanding, starts at 241.9 FPS at 1080p, falls to 160.6 at 1440p, and bottoms out at 90.3 at 4K. The fact that even the Ultra preset at 4K maintains an average above 90 FPS suggests that the GPU is never being completely overwhelmed, but the scaling pattern shows that 4K is where the hardware starts to feel the pressure.

Comparing the Low preset at 4K (139.2 FPS) to the Ultra preset at 1080p (241.9 FPS) illustrates the massive range of performance available. The difference between these two extremes is 102.7 FPS, which highlights how much headroom exists at lower resolutions. At 1080p, the frame rates are so high that the CPU likely becomes the primary limiting factor, especially when comparing the Low preset (366.8 FPS) to the Medium preset (333.2 FPS). The relatively small gap between these two settings at 1080p compared to the larger gap at 4K points to a CPU bottleneck at lower resolutions where the GPU has spare capacity.

GPU Role

The AMD Radeon RX 6700 XT is built on the RDNA 2.0 architecture with a Navi 22 chip, featuring a base clock of 2321 MHz and a boost clock of 2581 MHz. The memory configuration consists of 12 GB of GDDR6 on a 192-bit bus, which provides a bandwidth of 384.0 GB/s. These specifications translate to a strong performance profile, as evidenced by its 77th percentile ranking among all GPUs. The card’s average benchmark score of 33721 places it just 0.7% ahead of the AMD Radeon RX 6800 and 1.3% ahead of the NVIDIA RTX A5000, according to the nearestRivals data.

In the context of Roblox, the GPU’s role is central to the scaling behavior observed. The measured FPS at 4K Ultra (90.3) versus 4K Low (139.2) shows a 48.9 FPS difference purely from settings, which is directly attributable to the GPU’s shader and texture workload. The card’s 2560 shading units and 160 texture mapping units are likely the key components handling this load. The 12 GB VRAM capacity is more than sufficient for Roblox, even at 4K Ultra, so memory pressure is not a limiting factor in these results.

The GPU’s compute performance, measured at 9336 in the Passmark GPU compute test, suggests that it has plenty of raw processing power for a game that is not graphically intense. The fact that the RX 6700 XT sits at the 77th percentile of all GPUs, alongside its nearest rival the RX 6800 with a deltaPct of 0.7, indicates that this card is positioned well above average. The performance at 1080p, where the GPU is not the bottleneck, shows averages well over 240 FPS on all presets, confirming that the card is more than capable of handling the game’s demands at mainstream resolutions.

How This Combo Ranks

The combination of the Intel Core i5-12400F and AMD Radeon RX 6700 XT achieves a rank of 995 out of 1800 tested combos in Roblox. This places it in the 55th percentile of all combinations, meaning it outperforms more than half of the tested systems. The ranking is a direct result of the balance between the CPU and GPU, where neither component is severely mismatched for this particular game title.

The CPU in this combo, the Core i5-12400F, has an average benchmark score of 19221, which puts it at the 77th percentile of all CPUs. Its nearest rival, the Intel Core i7-8700K, scores 19210, a difference of just 0.1%, making the two effectively identical in synthetic tests. The GPU, as previously noted, is also at the 77th percentile, which means both components are operating at a similar tier of performance relative to their respective markets. This alignment is reflected in the combo’s overall rank, which is slightly above the median.

The ranking data suggests that while this combo is not at the top of the charts, it is far from being a weak pairing. The 995th rank out of 1800 means there are 805 combos that perform worse and 994 that perform better. Given that the game is not particularly demanding, the high frame rates measured across all settings indicate that the combo is well-suited for Roblox, and the rank is likely held back by the fact that many other combos feature newer or more expensive hardware.

Settings Recommendations

The measured rows provide clear guidance on which preset offers the best balance of visual quality and performance for this combo. At 1920x1080, the Ultra preset delivers an average of 241.9 FPS, which is more than sufficient for any display, and the jump from High (298.4 FPS) to Ultra costs 56.5 FPS. Given that 241.9 FPS is still exceptionally high, the Ultra preset at 1080p is the recommended choice for players who want the best visuals without sacrificing smoothness.

Moving to 2560x1440, the Ultra preset drops to 160.6 FPS, which is still well above the 144 Hz refresh rate common on many monitors. The High preset at this resolution delivers 198.7 FPS, a difference of 38.1 FPS compared to Ultra. For players with a 144 Hz display, the Ultra preset at 1440p is the better option, as 160.6 FPS still exceeds the refresh rate, and the visual improvements from Ultra settings are worthwhile. The Medium preset at 223.4 FPS offers more headroom, but the data shows that Ultra is not a performance risk at this resolution.

At 3840x2160, the recommendation shifts. The Ultra preset averages 90.3 FPS, which is playable but may not be ideal for competitive play. The High preset at 112.8 FPS is a better choice for 4K, as it offers a 22.5 FPS improvement over Ultra while still providing good visuals. The Medium preset at 129.7 FPS is the safest option for maintaining high frame rates at 4K, but the High preset strikes the best balance. For players with a 60 Hz 4K display, the Ultra preset is acceptable, but the data shows that High provides a more comfortable margin.

CPU Role

The Intel Core i5-12400F is a 6-core, 12-thread processor based on the Alder Lake architecture, with a base clock of 2.50 GHz and a boost clock of 4.40 GHz. It has a 65 W TDP and supports both DDR4 and DDR5 memory, though the benchmark results do not specify which memory type was used. The CPU’s cache configuration includes 80 KB of L1 per core, 1.25 MB of L2 per core, and 18 MB of shared L3 cache. Its average benchmark score of 19221 places it at the 77th percentile of all CPUs.

In the context of Roblox, the CPU’s role is most apparent at lower resolutions where the GPU is not the bottleneck. At 1080p, the frame rates are extremely high, with the Low preset hitting 366.8 FPS. The fact that the Low preset at 1080p is only 33.6 FPS faster than the Medium preset (333.2 FPS) suggests that the CPU is starting to limit performance, as the GPU has enough headroom to render more frames. The single-thread performance, measured at 909 in 3dMark single-thread and 2332 in Cinebench R23 single-core, is critical for a game like Roblox that may not scale perfectly across all 12 threads.

The CPU’s multi-threaded capabilities, shown by a Cinebench R23 multicore score of 16518, are more than adequate for the game’s demands. The nearest rival, the Intel Core i7-8700K, scores 19210 in average benchmarks, a mere 0.1% difference, indicating that the i5-12400F is effectively comparable to a previous-generation high-end chip. At 4K, the CPU’s influence diminishes, as the frame rates drop to 90-139 FPS depending on settings, which is well within the CPU’s ability to feed the GPU. The data confirms that the CPU is not a weak link in this combo, but it does become the primary limiter at 1080p when the GPU is underutilized.
