# Roblox with Intel Core i7-12700K + NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER

The benchmark data shows a combination that delivers exceptionally high frame rates across all tested resolutions and presets in Roblox. With an average of 171 FPS at 4K High settings and over 560 FPS at 1080p Low, this system clearly exceeds the refresh rate capabilities of most displays. The measured results indicate that the primary bottleneck shifts from the GPU to the CPU only at lower resolutions and settings, where frame rates approach or exceed 500 FPS. This analysis walks through the settings recommendations, performance rankings, and component roles based solely on the measured data.

Settings Recommendations

Based on the measured FPS rows, the Ultra preset at 3840x2160 produces an average of 138.2 FPS, which remains highly playable on 120Hz or 144Hz displays. However, the High preset at 4K delivers 171 FPS, representing a 23.7% improvement over Ultra while likely reducing visual fidelity only marginally. At 2560x1440, the High preset achieves 302.7 FPS, which is more than sufficient for even the fastest gaming monitors currently available. The Medium preset at 1440p yields 340.4 FPS, a 12.5% increase over High, but the visual quality trade-off may not justify the additional frames for most users.

The data suggests that High settings offer the best balance of visual quality and performance across all three resolutions. At 1080p, the High preset produces 448.4 FPS, which is already far beyond any display's refresh rate capability. The Low preset at 1080p reaches 561.3 FPS, but this represents only a 25.2% gain over High, and the visual degradation in Roblox's blocky aesthetic would be noticeable. For users with 144Hz or 240Hz monitors, the High preset at 1440p or 4K provides the optimal experience, as the measured frame rates exceed 300 FPS and 170 FPS respectively. The Ultra preset, while producing 240.9 FPS at 1440p and 138.2 FPS at 4K, shows diminishing returns compared to High, with performance drops of 20.4% and 19.2% respectively. Therefore, High is the recommended preset for this combination, delivering the best experience per the measured rows.

How This Combo Ranks

This combination of Intel Core i7-12700K and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER ranks 334th out of 1800 tested combos in Roblox, placing it in the top 18.6% of all systems tested. This percentile ranking indicates that while the combination is strong, there are many other configurations that achieve higher frame rates in this specific game. The CPU itself holds a percentile rank of 89 among all CPUs, and the GPU holds a percentile rank of 84 among all GPUs, suggesting that both components are well above average in their respective categories. However, Roblox's relatively modest graphical demands mean that higher-ranking combos likely benefit from even more powerful CPUs, as the game can become CPU-bound at high frame rates.

The CPU's nearest rivals show a tightly clustered group of competitors. The AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 5845 scores 35802 on average, just 0.3% higher than the Core i7-12700K's average benchmark score of 35684. The Intel Core i5-14500HX is 0.7% higher, while the Intel Core i7-13700T is 0.6% lower. This indicates that the Core i7-12700K sits in a competitive mid-range position, with no single rival offering a significant advantage. The GPU's nearest rivals show a similar pattern: the NVIDIA RTX A6000 is 0.2% lower, the AMD Radeon RX 7650 GRE is 0.3% lower, and the AMD Radeon Pro 580X is 1.4% higher. These small deltas suggest that the RTX 4070 SUPER's performance is well established within its performance class.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER features 12 GB of GDDR6X memory on a 192-bit bus, providing a memory bandwidth of 504.2 GB/s. The GPU operates at a base clock of 1980 MHz and boosts to 2475 MHz, with memory running at 1313 MHz (21 Gbps effective). These specifications are more than adequate for Roblox, which is not a graphically demanding title by modern standards. The measured frame rates demonstrate that the GPU is rarely the limiting factor, particularly at lower resolutions where the CPU becomes the bottleneck.

The GPU's compute capabilities include 7168 shading units, 224 texture mapping units, and 80 render output units, along with 56 ray tracing cores and 224 tensor cores. The FP32 performance is rated at 35.48 TFLOPS, which provides substantial headroom for Roblox's relatively simple rendering pipeline. At 4K Ultra, the average FPS drops to 138.2, indicating that the GPU is being pushed harder at this resolution and preset combination. However, even at this demanding setting, the frame rate remains well above playable thresholds. The GPU's benchmark scores show a Passmark G3D score of 29995 and a 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 4627, placing it in the 84th percentile among all GPUs. The RTX 4070 SUPER's nearest rival, the RTX A6000, scores 42653 on average, a difference of only 0.2%, confirming that this GPU performs consistently within its expected range.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the measured frame rates span from 561.3 FPS at Low settings to 362.3 FPS at Ultra settings. The progression shows a clear pattern: Low produces 561.3 FPS, Medium produces 507.4 FPS (9.6% lower), High produces 448.4 FPS (20.1% lower than Low), and Ultra produces 362.3 FPS (35.4% lower than Low). The scaling between presets is relatively linear, with each step up in quality costing approximately 10-15% performance. At this resolution, the CPU's 12 cores and 20 threads are likely the primary constraint, as frame rates exceed 500 FPS in the lower presets.

At 2560x1440, the frame rates decrease proportionally. Low settings yield 375.6 FPS, Medium yields 340.4 FPS (9.4% lower), High yields 302.7 FPS (19.4% lower than Low), and Ultra yields 240.9 FPS (35.9% lower than Low). The percentage drops between presets closely mirror those at 1080p, suggesting consistent scaling behavior. Compared to 1080p, the 1440p results show an average reduction of approximately 33% across all settings, which aligns with the increased pixel count. At 3840x2160, the frame rates remain very playable: Low produces 214.3 FPS, Medium produces 189.7 FPS (11.5% lower), High produces 171 FPS (20.2% lower than Low), and Ultra produces 138.2 FPS (35.5% lower than Low). The 4K results show a similar pattern of scaling, with the GPU becoming more influential at this resolution. The difference between 1440p and 4K is approximately 43% across settings, reflecting the substantial increase in pixel count.

CPU Role

The Intel Core i7-12700K features 12 cores and 20 threads, with a base clock of 3.60 GHz and a boost clock of 5.00 GHz. This Alder Lake architecture CPU has a 25 MB shared L3 cache and per-core L1 and L2 caches of 80 KB and 1.25 MB respectively. The CPU's benchmark scores demonstrate strong single-threaded performance, with a Passmark single-thread score of 4013 and a Cinebench R23 single-core score of 4128. Multi-threaded performance is equally impressive, with a Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 29241 and a Passmark multithread score of 34404. These results place the CPU in the 89th percentile among all CPUs, with an average benchmark score of 35684.

In Roblox, the CPU's role becomes increasingly important as resolution decreases and frame rates rise. At 1080p Low settings, the measured 561.3 FPS suggests the CPU is operating near its maximum capability for this workload. The CPU's boost clock of 5.00 GHz provides excellent single-threaded performance, which is critical for Roblox's main game loop and physics calculations. The 12-core configuration ensures that background tasks and game threads do not interfere with primary rendering. The CPU's nearest rival, the AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 5845, scores only 0.3% higher on average, indicating that the Core i7-12700K is well matched to its competition. Similarly, the Intel Core i5-14500HX scores 0.7% higher, while the Intel Core i7-13700T scores 0.6% lower. These small deltas confirm that the Core i7-12700K maintains competitive performance in this game. The CPU's memory support for both DDR4 and DDR5 provides flexibility, though the benchmark data does not specify which memory type was used in testing.
