Roblox

The Intel Core i7-12700K paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070 SUPER delivers a performance profile in Roblox that is consistently high across all tested configurations, with the data indicating that the most balanced experience is found at the Medium preset. While the Low preset yields the highest raw frame rates at every resolution, the Medium setting provides a substantial increase in visual fidelity for a comparatively modest reduction in average FPS. At 1920x1080, the Medium preset produces 306.1 FPS, which is only 32.7 FPS below the Low preset’s 338.8 FPS, yet it offers a significantly richer visual environment. The High preset at 1080p drops to 270 FPS, still an excellent figure, but the step from Medium to High yields diminishing returns relative to the performance cost. At 2560x1440, the Medium preset maintains 207.5 FPS, which remains well above the refresh rates of most high-end displays, while the Ultra preset falls to 148.5 FPS. The data suggests that Ultra, while playable, begins to introduce a noticeable frame rate penalty that is not justified by the marginal graphical improvements in this title. At 3840x2160, the Medium preset still achieves 117.5 FPS, making it the optimal choice for users who prioritize a smooth experience with enhanced settings, as the Ultra preset at this resolution drops to 85.6 FPS. Therefore, the Medium preset is the recommended default, as it consistently delivers frame rates that are more than sufficient for the game’s mechanics while preserving visual quality.

The GPU’s role in these results is defined by its 8 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 256-bit bus, providing a memory bandwidth of 448.0 GB/s, and its Turing architecture clock speeds. The RTX 2070 SUPER has a base clock of 1605 MHz and a boost clock of 1770 MHz, with a transistor count of 13,600 million on a 12 nm process. The benchmark data indicates that the GPU is not a limiting factor at the lower resolutions, as the frame rates scale impressively. However, the variance between the Low and Ultra settings at 4K reveals the GPU’s workload. At 3840x2160, the transition from Low at 130.1 FPS to Ultra at 85.6 FPS represents a 44.5 FPS drop, which is a 34.2% reduction in performance. This indicates that while the GPU handles the game’s visual effects capably, the Ultra preset’s additional rendering demands, such as higher texture detail and shading complexity, place a significant load on the graphics processor. The GPU’s FP32 performance of 9.062 TFLOPS and its 40 RT cores are more than adequate for Roblox’s engine, which does not heavily utilize ray tracing in typical gameplay scenarios. The data shows that the GPU’s memory capacity and bandwidth are sufficient to avoid bottlenecks, as even the highest settings at 1080p produce over 223 FPS, suggesting that the card has ample headroom for this game’s requirements.

Resolution Scaling

The scaling of frame rates from 1920x1080 to 3840x2160 demonstrates a clear pattern of GPU-bound behavior at higher resolutions, while the CPU maintains a dominant role at lower ones. At the Low preset, the average FPS falls from 338.8 at 1080p to 225.3 at 1440p and finally to 130.1 at 4K. This represents a 61.6% reduction in performance from 1080p to 4K, which is a substantial drop that highlights the increasing pixel count’s demand on the GPU. The Medium preset shows a similar trend, with 306.1 FPS at 1080p dropping to 207.5 at 1440p and 117.5 at 4K, a 61.6% decrease as well. The High preset follows the same trajectory: 270 FPS at 1080p, 183.5 at 1440p, and 104.8 at 4K, which is a 61.2% reduction. The Ultra preset exhibits the steepest decline in absolute terms, going from 223.1 at 1080p to 148.5 at 1440p and 85.6 at 4K, a 61.6% drop. The consistency of this percentage decline across all settings strongly suggests that the resolution scaling is not dependent on the quality preset, but rather on a uniform factor, which is the GPU’s rendering capability. The fact that the 1080p results exceed 220 FPS even at Ultra indicates that the CPU is capable of feeding the GPU efficiently at this resolution, and the bottleneck only shifts to the GPU as the pixel count increases. The data implies that the limiting component at 4K is the GPU, as the frame rates scale in a manner consistent with pixel throughput, while at 1080p, the high frame rates suggest the system is not constrained by either component to a significant degree.

How This Combo Ranks

Within the database of tested combinations, this specific pairing of the Intel Core i7-12700K and the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070 SUPER achieves a combo rank of 1088 out of 1800 tested configurations for Roblox. This places the combo in the 60th percentile of all tested systems, indicating that it performs above the median but is not among the top-tier setups. The CPU’s individual benchmark percentile is 89th among all CPUs, which is a very strong showing, while the GPU’s percentile is 65th among all GPUs. The discrepancy between these two percentiles suggests that the GPU is the more limiting component in this pairing. The CPU’s average benchmark score of 35684 is remarkably close to its nearest rivals, with the AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 5845 scoring 35802, a delta of -0.3%, and the Intel Core i5-14500HX scoring 35940, a delta of -0.7%. This indicates that the i7-12700K’s processing power is on par with these alternatives. The GPU’s average score of 22206 is also closely matched with its rivals, such as the NVIDIA RTX A400 at 22307, a delta of -0.5%, and the AMD Radeon RX 5700 at 21670, a delta of 2.5%. The combination’s rank suggests that while the CPU is a high-end part, the GPU’s mid-range standing in the current database pulls the overall combo down from what might be expected given the CPU’s strength alone. The data shows that to improve the combo ranking in this game, a GPU with a higher percentile would be the primary upgrade path.

CPU Role

The Intel Core i7-12700K’s contribution to the Roblox results is characterized by its 12 cores and 20 threads, operating at a base clock of 3.60 GHz and a boost clock of 5.00 GHz. The CPU’s cache hierarchy, with 80 KB of L1 per core, 1.25 MB of L2 per core, and a shared 25 MB of L3 cache, provides ample capacity for the game’s single-threaded and lightly-threaded workloads. Roblox is not a heavily threaded game, but the CPU’s high single-thread performance, evidenced by a 3DMark single-thread score of 1043 and a Geekbench single-core score of 2561, is crucial for maintaining high frame rates. The benchmark results show that the CPU is not a bottleneck at 1080p, where even the Ultra preset achieves 223.1 FPS. This indicates that the CPU can process the game’s logic and physics quickly enough to feed the GPU. The CPU’s performance in multi-threaded tests, such as a Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 29241, shows that it has substantial headroom for other tasks, but this does not directly translate to higher FPS in Roblox. The data suggests that the CPU’s role is to ensure a consistent frame delivery, and its high percentile ranking of 89th among all CPUs confirms its capability. The lack of a significant frame rate difference between Low and High settings at 1080p, where the Low preset hits 338.8 FPS and the High preset hits 270 FPS, shows that the CPU can handle the additional draw calls and game logic associated with higher settings without becoming a limiting factor. The CPU’s boost clock of 5.00 GHz is likely the key attribute for this game, as it provides the fast single-threaded execution that Roblox’s engine favors.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The measured frame rates provide a comprehensive view of the combo’s performance across all settings and resolutions. At 1920x1080, the Low preset produces an average of 338.8 FPS, which is the highest recorded value in the entire dataset. The Medium preset at this resolution delivers 306.1 FPS, representing a 32.7 FPS decrease. The High preset achieves 270 FPS, a further 36.1 FPS drop, and the Ultra preset records 223.1 FPS. This shows a clear hierarchy where each step up in settings costs roughly 30-40 FPS at 1080p. Moving to 2560x1440, the Low preset averages 225.3 FPS, which is a substantial 113.5 FPS drop from the same settings at 1080p, illustrating the GPU’s increased workload. The Medium preset at 1440p achieves 207.5 FPS, while High and Ultra produce 183.5 FPS and 148.5 FPS, respectively. The gap between Low and Ultra at 1440p is 76.8 FPS, which is proportionally similar to the 115.7 FPS gap at 1080p. At 3840x2160, the frame rates become more compressed. The Low preset averages 130.1 FPS, Medium achieves 117.5 FPS, High delivers 104.8 FPS, and Ultra falls to 85.6 FPS. The difference between Low and Ultra at 4K is 44.5 FPS, which is smaller in absolute terms than at lower resolutions, indicating that the GPU is approaching its limits and the settings have a relatively smaller impact on overall performance. The data consistently shows that the Medium preset offers the best balance of performance and quality across all three resolutions, with frame rates of 306.1, 207.5, and 117.5 FPS at 1080p, 1440p, and 4K respectively. These figures are all well above the 60 FPS threshold, ensuring a smooth gameplay experience in all scenarios.
