How This Combo Ranks

The benchmark data places this configuration at rank 651 out of 3,711 tested combos for Roblox. This is a strong showing, placing the system in the upper 17.5% of all tested configurations. The rank reflects the combined capability of the Intel Core i7-12700KF and the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER when running this specific sandbox title.

Given the nature of Roblox, which is a game with relatively modest visual demands compared to AAA titles, the high ranking is unsurprising. The data shows that this hardware combination is more than sufficient to drive the game at high frame rates. The percentile rankings for the individual components reinforce this: the CPU sits in the 85th percentile of all CPUs, and the GPU sits in the 83rd percentile of all GPUs.

The delta percentages between the CPU and its nearest rivals are all within 0.2%, indicating that the i7-12700KF is operating at a performance plateau where minor architectural differences between the 12th and 13th generation parts do not translate into meaningful benchmark separation. For the GPU, the nearest rival is only 1% faster (the RTX 4090 Mobile), which shows that the RTX 4070 SUPER is near the top of the desktop GPU hierarchy in this database.

The rank of 651 suggests that there are 650 configurations that deliver higher average frame rates in Roblox. These likely include combinations with higher-tier GPUs such as the RTX 4090 or RTX 4080, or possibly CPUs with higher single-thread performance, which can matter more in a game like Roblox that may not scale perfectly across many cores.

Resolution Scaling

The measured FPS data reveals how the system scales across resolutions. At 1920x1080 with High settings, the average FPS is 450. Moving to 2560x1440 with the same settings drops the average to 300, a 33% reduction. At 3840x2160 with High settings, the average falls further to 170, which is a 43% drop from 1440p and a 62% drop from 1080p.

This scaling pattern suggests that at 1080p, the system is heavily CPU-bound. The jump from 450 FPS at 1080p to 560 FPS at Low settings indicates that the GPU is not the limiting factor at this resolution. The CPU's single-thread performance, measured at 1,043 in 3DMark single-thread and 4,071 in Cinebench R23 single-core, appears to be the bottleneck at lower resolutions.

At 4K, the scaling curve steepens, indicating the GPU becomes the primary constraint. The RTX 4070 SUPER's 35.48 TFLOPS of FP32 compute and 504.2 GB/s of memory bandwidth are substantial, but rendering at 3840x2160 still requires significantly more pixel throughput. The pixel rate of 198.0 GPixel/s and texture rate of 554.4 GTexel/s are taxed more heavily as resolution increases.

The differences between settings at each resolution tell a similar story. At 1080p, the spread from Low (560 FPS) to Ultra (365 FPS) is 195 FPS, a 35% reduction. At 1440p, the spread from Low (374 FPS) to Ultra (244 FPS) is 130 FPS, a 35% reduction. At 4K, the spread from Low (211 FPS) to Ultra (138 FPS) is 73 FPS, also a 35% reduction. The consistent percentage drop across resolutions indicates that the settings are scaling the GPU load uniformly.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The dataset provides average FPS for three resolutions and four settings presets, with min and max FPS only available for the Medium preset at each resolution.

At 1920x1080, the Low preset delivers the highest average at 560 FPS. Medium settings produce an average of 509 FPS with a minimum of 433 and a maximum of 586. High settings average 450 FPS. Ultra settings produce the lowest average at this resolution: 365 FPS.

At 2560x1440, Low settings average 374 FPS. Medium settings average 340 FPS with a minimum of 289 and a maximum of 391. High settings average 300 FPS. Ultra settings average 244 FPS.

At 3840x2160, Low settings average 211 FPS. Medium settings average 192 FPS with a minimum of 163 and a maximum of 221. High settings average 170 FPS. Ultra settings average 138 FPS.

The Medium preset is the only one with min and max FPS data. At 1080p, the range is 433 to 586, a spread of 153 FPS. At 1440p, the range is 289 to 391, a spread of 102 FPS. At 4K, the range is 163 to 221, a spread of 58 FPS. The narrowing range at higher resolutions suggests that frame time variance decreases as the GPU becomes the primary bottleneck, which can result in a more consistent experience despite lower average FPS.

Settings Recommendations

Based on the measured data, the Medium preset offers the best balance of visual quality and performance across all three resolutions. At 1080p, Medium delivers 509 FPS average, which is only 9% lower than Low but provides noticeably better visuals. At 1440p, Medium averages 340 FPS, which remains well above the refresh rate of most high-end monitors. At 4K, Medium averages 192 FPS with a minimum of 163, ensuring smooth gameplay even in demanding scenes.

The High preset is a viable alternative for users with 1440p or 1080p displays. At 1440p, High averages 300 FPS, which is still exceptionally high. At 1080p, High averages 450 FPS. However, at 4K, High drops to 170 FPS, which is still playable but begins to approach the lower end of what competitive players might prefer.

The Ultra preset is not recommended for 4K gaming, as it produces an average of 138 FPS. This is a 28% reduction from High at the same resolution. For 1440p, Ultra at 244 FPS is acceptable, but the visual gains over High may not justify the 18% performance cost. At 1080p, Ultra at 365 FPS is also acceptable, but again, the performance penalty relative to High is substantial.

Given that the Medium preset shows the tightest min-max FPS range at each resolution (433-586 at 1080p, 289-391 at 1440p, 163-221 at 4K), it provides the most consistent frame pacing. This is likely the best choice for users who prioritize a stable frame rate over marginal visual improvements.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER is built on the Ada Lovelace architecture using TSMC's 5 nm process node. The AD104 chip contains 35,800 million transistors on a 294 mm² die, resulting in a transistor density of 121.8M per mm². The GPU has 7,168 shading units, 224 texture mapping units, and 80 raster output units, along with 56 RT cores and 224 tensor cores.

The GPU's clock speeds are 1980 MHz base and 2475 MHz boost. These clocks, combined with the 7,168 shading units, produce a theoretical FP32 performance of 35.48 TFLOPS. The texture rate is 554.4 GTexel/s, and the pixel rate is 198.0 GPixel/s. The memory subsystem consists of 12 GB of GDDR6X on a 192-bit bus, providing 504.2 GB/s of bandwidth.

In Roblox, the GPU's role becomes more significant at higher resolutions. The data shows that at 4K, the FPS drops more sharply with each settings increase, indicating that the GPU is the limiting factor. The RTX 4070 SUPER's performance in the database places it in the 83rd percentile of all GPUs, with an average benchmark score of 43,223. Its nearest rival, the NVIDIA Quadro M6000 24 GB, scores 43,262, a negligible 0.1% difference.

The GPU's 12 GB of VRAM is more than sufficient for Roblox, which is not a VRAM-intensive title. Even at 4K Ultra, the game is unlikely to approach 12 GB of usage. The memory bandwidth of 504.2 GB/s is also generous for this game's requirements.

CPU Role

The Intel Core i7-12700KF is a 12-core, 20-thread processor based on the Alder Lake architecture, manufactured on Intel's 10 nm process node. It has a base clock of 3.60 GHz and a boost clock of 5.00 GHz. The cache hierarchy includes 80 KB of L1 per core, 1.25 MB of L2 per core, and 25 MB of shared L3 cache.

The CPU's synthetic benchmark scores are impressive. In Cinebench R23, it scores 28,838 in multi-core and 4,071 in single-core. In Geekbench, it scores 14,367 multi-core and 2,255 single-core. The 3DMark results show a scaling pattern from 1,043 in single-thread to 9,983 in max threads, indicating good multi-threaded scaling.

In Roblox, the CPU's role is critical at lower resolutions. The data shows that at 1080p, the system achieves 560 FPS on Low settings, which is likely near the engine's limits or the CPU's single-thread capability. The single-thread performance of 1,043 in 3DMark and 4,071 in Cinebench R23 indicates that the i7-12700KF has strong per-core performance, which is essential for a game that may not efficiently utilize all 12 cores.

The CPU's overall average benchmark score is 35,365, placing it in the 85th percentile of all CPUs. Its closest rival, the Intel Core i7-13700T, scores 35,403, a 0.1% difference that is within measurement noise. This suggests that the i7-12700KF is performing at a level comparable to newer, more power-efficient parts.

The data indicates that the CPU is not the bottleneck at 1440p or 4K, as the FPS scaling between resolutions shows a clear GPU limitation. However, at 1080p, the CPU's single-thread performance is likely the limiting factor, as evidenced by the relatively small FPS difference between Low (560) and Medium (509) settings compared to the larger differences at higher resolutions.
