Roblox

Roblox is a sandbox title that scales dramatically across resolutions and settings, and the data for the Intel Core i7-13700K paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 SUPER shows a system that is clearly CPU-bound at lower resolutions. At 1920x1080, the average frame rates are exceptionally high, ranging from 306.8 FPS on Low settings down to 198.1 FPS on Ultra. This very high performance floor indicates that the graphics card has ample headroom, and the limiting factor is the processor's ability to feed frames. As resolution increases to 2560x1440, the frame rates remain very competitive, with the Low preset still achieving 202.6 FPS, suggesting a balanced load between the CPU and GPU. However, at 4K (3840x2160), the frame rates drop to a range of 119.2 FPS on Low down to 78.1 FPS on Ultra, which is a significant shift and points to the GPU becoming the primary bottleneck at this higher pixel count.

Resolution Scaling

The transition from 1080p to 4K reveals a clear shift in system bottleneck behavior. At 1920x1080, the difference between the Low and Ultra presets is 108.7 FPS (306.8 down to 198.1), which is a substantial performance hit but still leaves the system well above 144 Hz refresh rates. Moving to 2560x1440, the spread between Low and Ultra narrows to 69.0 FPS (202.6 down to 133.6), and the overall performance level stays high enough for smooth gameplay on high-refresh monitors. The most telling data comes from the 4K results, where the Ultra preset produces 78.1 FPS, a 39.0 FPS drop from the High preset at 91.6 FPS, and the Low preset at 119.2 FPS is the only 4K configuration that breaks the 100 FPS mark.

This pattern indicates that at 1080p and 1440p, the Intel Core i7-13700K's 16 cores and 24 threads are more than sufficient to keep up, and the performance delta between resolutions is smaller than what one might expect from a purely GPU-bound scenario. The 4K Ultra result of 78.1 FPS is a 60.4% decrease from the 1080p Low result, showing that the RTX 2060 SUPER's 8 GB of GDDR6 memory and 448.0 GB/s bandwidth are being taxed heavily at this resolution. The data suggests that for players targeting 4K, the Ultra preset is the most demanding, but even the High preset at 91.6 FPS represents a comfortable experience for standard 60 Hz displays, while the Low preset at 119.2 FPS offers a smoother experience for higher refresh rate 4K monitors.

Settings Recommendations

Based on the measured FPS rows, the optimal settings depend heavily on the target resolution and refresh rate. For 1920x1080, all presets are playable, with Low at 306.8 FPS and Medium at 277.8 FPS being ideal for competitive play on 240 Hz panels, while High at 245.4 FPS and Ultra at 198.1 FPS still exceed 144 Hz requirements. The recommendation for 1080p is to use the High preset as a baseline, as it provides a 47.3 FPS improvement over Ultra while maintaining a frame rate that is above 240 FPS, making the visual quality trade-off worth it for most users.

At 2560x1440, the High preset at 162.9 FPS offers the best balance for 144 Hz monitors, as it is just behind the Medium preset at 187.4 FPS but provides superior visual fidelity. The Ultra preset at 133.6 FPS is still viable for 120 Hz displays, but the data shows that the jump from High to Ultra costs 29.3 FPS, which may not justify the graphical gains in a sandbox game where performance consistency matters. For 4K, the Low preset at 119.2 FPS is the only configuration that reaches above 100 FPS, making it the recommended choice for high refresh rate 4K panels. The Medium preset at 103.9 FPS is also acceptable, while the High preset at 91.6 FPS and Ultra at 78.1 FPS are better suited for 60 Hz displays, with the latter providing the highest visual quality at a playable frame rate.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 SUPER's role in this Roblox configuration is multifaceted, with its 8 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 256-bit bus proving sufficient for the game's demands. The memory bandwidth of 448.0 GB/s, combined with a boost clock of 1650 MHz, provides the necessary throughput for the higher resolution textures and effects. The GPU's 2176 shading units and 64 ROPs are responsible for the pixel fill rate of 105.6 GPixel/s, which directly impacts the 4K performance. The data shows that at 4K, the GPU is the limiting factor, as the frame rate drops from 119.2 FPS on Low to 78.1 FPS on Ultra, a 34.4% reduction that is more pronounced than at lower resolutions.

The RTX 2060 SUPER's Turing architecture, built on a 12 nm process at TSMC, includes 34 RT cores and 272 tensor cores, which are not heavily utilized in Roblox but contribute to the overall feature set. The GPU's FP32 performance of 7.181 TFLOPS is adequate for the game's shader complexity, but the measured data indicates that the card is not the primary bottleneck until 4K. At 1080p and 1440p, the CPU's high single-thread performance, evidenced by its 3dmark_single_thread score of 1136 and passmark_single_thread score of 4333, allows the GPU to operate at lower utilization, resulting in the high frame rates observed. The GPU's percentile rank of 63 against all GPUs places it in the mid-range, and its nearest rival, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070, is only 0.5% faster in average benchmark score, confirming that the 2060 SUPER is a capable performer for this title.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the measured average FPS values are consistent and high across all presets. The Low settings produce 306.8 FPS, which is the highest recorded for this combo. The Medium preset yields 277.8 FPS, a 29.0 FPS reduction from Low. The High preset achieves 245.4 FPS, and the Ultra preset drops to 198.1 FPS. This represents a total performance range of 108.7 FPS from Low to Ultra, with each step up in quality costing a meaningful number of frames. The 1080p results indicate that the system is heavily CPU-bound, as the variation in settings does not cause the GPU to become fully occupied.

Moving to 2560x1440, the measured FPS values are still high but show more GPU influence. The Low preset delivers 202.6 FPS, which is 104.2 FPS lower than the same preset at 1080p, showing the impact of increased pixel count. The Medium preset at 187.4 FPS and High preset at 162.9 FPS follow a similar pattern, with a 24.5 FPS difference between them. The Ultra preset at 133.6 FPS is the lowest at this resolution, and the difference between Low and Ultra is 69.0 FPS, which is a smaller absolute gap than at 1080p, indicating that the GPU is starting to become more relevant.

At 3840x2160, the frame rates are significantly lower, confirming the GPU bottleneck. The Low preset at 119.2 FPS is the only one above 100 FPS, while the Medium preset at 103.9 FPS is just below that threshold. The High preset at 91.6 FPS and Ultra preset at 78.1 FPS are the most demanding configurations, and the difference between Low and Ultra is 41.1 FPS. The data shows that at 4K, each preset step results in a more significant frame rate penalty, with the jump from High to Ultra costing 13.5 FPS, which is the largest single-step reduction in the entire dataset.

How This Combo Ranks

In the benchmark database, this specific combination of the Intel Core i7-13700K and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 SUPER achieves a rank of 1339 out of 1800 tested combos in Roblox. This places the system in the 74th percentile of all combinations tested, indicating that it performs better than the majority of systems but is not at the very top tier. The rank reflects the balanced nature of the pairing, where the CPU is a high-end part with a 93rd percentile ranking against all CPUs, while the GPU is a mid-range part with a 63rd percentile ranking against all GPUs.

The CPU's average benchmark score of 47282 puts it in close competition with its nearest rivals, including the Intel Core i7-13700KF, which is 0.1% slower, and the AMD Ryzen 9 PRO 5945, which is 0.5% faster. This indicates that the CPU is a strong performer, but the GPU's average benchmark score of 19774 places it just above the NVIDIA GeForce GTX TITAN by 0.3% and below the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070 by 0.5%. The combo's rank of 1339 out of 1800 suggests that while the CPU is capable of driving high frame rates, the GPU is the limiting factor in achieving higher ranks, especially at 4K where the system's performance is constrained by the graphics card's capabilities.
