FAQ

Q: What is the best resolution to run Roblox with this combo?

A: At 1920x1080, the average FPS ranges from 388 (Ultra) to 594 (Low), which means even the most demanding preset leaves massive headroom for high-refresh monitors. At 2560x1440, averages stay between 259 (Ultra) and 396 (Low), while 3840x2160 still delivers a playable 146 (Ultra) to 224 (Low) FPS.

Q: How does this combo rank among all tested systems?

A: The combo rank is 448 out of 3711 tested combinations, meaning roughly 88% of all tested systems are slower in Roblox. This places it well within the top tier of configurations for this specific title.

Q: Which CPU benchmark scores are most relevant for Roblox?

A: The CPU’s single-thread performance is critical here. The Core i7-14700F scores 4958 in Cinebench R23 single-core and 4257 in Passmark single-thread, which are strong indicators for a game that relies heavily on single-threaded physics and scripting logic.

Q: Does the RTX 4070 Ti SUPER bottleneck the CPU in this game?

A: No, the data shows the GPU’s passmark G3D score of 31811 and the CPU’s passmark multithread score of 41317 are both high enough that Roblox’s engine, not the hardware, is the limiting factor. The measured FPS at 1080p Low (594) suggests the CPU is still feeding frames fast enough to outpace most monitors.

Q: What is the minimum FPS recorded for this combo?

A: The only rows with min FPS data are at Medium settings: 173 FPS at 3840x2160, 307 FPS at 2560x1440, and 459 FPS at 1920x1080. These minimums indicate no noticeable stutter even in the worst-case measured frame times.

Q: Is the launch MSRP relevant to this analysis?

A: The CPU has a launch MSRP of $359 and the GPU has a launch MSRP of 799 USD, but this database analysis focuses on measured performance, not cost efficiency.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti SUPER is built on the Ada Lovelace architecture with a 5 nm process from TSMC, packing 45,900 million transistors into a 379 mm² die. Its memory subsystem is notably robust for a sandbox title: 16 GB of GDDR6X on a 256-bit bus delivers 672.3 GB/s of bandwidth, which is far more than Roblox typically demands. The GPU’s base clock is 2340 MHz and the boost clock reaches 2610 MHz, with memory clocked at 1313 MHz (21 Gbps effective). These specifications translate into a Passmark G3D score of 31811, putting the card at the 76th percentile of all GPUs.

For Roblox specifically, the GPU role is interesting because the game’s visual complexity varies wildly depending on user-generated content. The measured FPS data shows that even at 3840x2160 Ultra, the average frame rate is 146 FPS, which means the RTX 4070 Ti SUPER is never the primary constraint. At 1080p Low, the card pushes 594 FPS on average, a number that is almost certainly limited by the game engine or CPU rather than the GPU itself. The 66 RT cores and 264 tensor cores are present, but Roblox’s rendering pipeline does not heavily utilize ray tracing or DLSS in these measurements, so the raw rasterization throughput (44.10 TFLOPS FP32) is what drives these results.

The GPU’s 96 ROPs and 264 TMUs provide a pixel rate of 250.6 GPixel/s and a texture rate of 689.0 GTexel/s. For a game that often uses simple blocky geometry, these figures are excessive, meaning the card spends most of its time waiting for draw calls. The 16 GB VRAM capacity is also irrelevant for Roblox’s typical texture sizes, but it guarantees that even the most modded experiences will not exceed memory limits. The 285 W TDP and triple-slot cooler are overkill for this workload, but they ensure sustained boost clocks during long sessions.

CPU Role

The Intel Core i7-14700F is a Raptor Lake Refresh part with 20 cores (8 performance and 12 efficiency) and 28 threads, running at a base clock of 2.10 GHz and a boost clock of 5.40 GHz. It has a 33 MB shared L3 cache and 2 MB L2 per core, with an 80 KB L1 per core. The CPU supports DDR4 and DDR5 memory in dual-channel mode, and its Passmark multithread score is 41317, while the single-thread score is 4257. The Cinebench R23 scores are 35122 multi-core and 4958 single-core, and the Geekbench scores are 19620 multi-core and 2429 single-core.

Roblox is a game that often becomes CPU-bound in complex scenes with many players or physics objects. The 5.40 GHz boost clock is crucial here, as Roblox’s scripting engine is largely single-threaded. The measured FPS at 1080p Low (594) versus 1080p Ultra (388) shows a 53% performance difference, which is substantial but still leaves the CPU as the primary driver of frame pacing. The high single-thread performance (4958 in R23 single-core) ensures that the game’s main thread never becomes a bottleneck, even when dozens of avatars are on screen.

The 20-core configuration provides immense multi-threaded headroom for background tasks, but Roblox does not scale its rendering across many cores. The efficiency cores handle background processes, while the performance cores boost to 5.40 GHz for the main game thread. The CPU’s 91st percentile ranking among all CPUs, with an average benchmark score of 53620, places it just 0.6% behind the AMD Ryzen 9 7900X and 0.8% ahead of the AMD EPYC 7313P in overall CPU benchmarks. For Roblox, the single-thread advantage matters more than the raw multi-core score, and the 5.40 GHz boost clock is among the highest available in this dataset.

How This Combo Ranks

The combo rank of 448 out of 3711 tested combinations places this system in the top 12.1% of all configurations in the database. This is a strong result, but not the absolute top, because Roblox can run well on much weaker hardware. The data indicates that the bottleneck is not the hardware itself but the game’s ability to utilize it. At 3840x2160 Ultra, the average FPS is 146, which is still far above the 60 Hz target, meaning the system has nearly 2.5x headroom at 4K with maximum settings.

Comparing to the CPU’s nearest rivals, the Core i7-14700F’s average benchmark score of 53620 is essentially tied with the Intel Xeon 6505P (53701, -0.2%) and slightly ahead of the Intel Xeon Phi 7290 (53469, +0.3%). The AMD Ryzen 9 7900X scores 53288 (+0.6% delta), so the i7-14700F holds a marginal lead. On the GPU side, the RTX 4070 Ti SUPER’s average score of 31087 is just behind the NVIDIA Quadro M5000 (31206, -0.4%) and the NVIDIA GRID M60-1Q (31220, -0.4%), but ahead of the NVIDIA RTX PRO 4500 Blackwell (31532, -1.4%) and TITAN RTX (31676, -1.9%). These deltas are all within 2%, indicating that the GPU is near the top of its class.

In practical terms, this combination delivers frame rates that exceed the refresh rate of most gaming monitors at every resolution. The only scenario where the system might feel constrained is if a user targets 360 Hz or higher at 1080p with maximum settings, where the 388 FPS average at Ultra would still be sufficient but not maxed out. The rank of 448 suggests that only 447 other combos in the database perform better, and many of those likely use higher-end CPUs or GPUs that offer diminishing returns in Roblox.

Settings Recommendations

Based on the measured FPS rows, the Medium preset offers the best balance of visual fidelity and performance across all resolutions. At 3840x2160, Medium produces an average of 204 FPS with a minimum of 173 FPS, which is the only preset at 4K with min FPS data. This min FPS figure is critical because it shows the system maintains fluid frame pacing even in demanding scenes. At 2560x1440, Medium delivers 361 FPS average with 307 FPS minimum, and at 1920x1080, it reaches 540 FPS average with 459 FPS minimum.

The Low preset provides the highest raw FPS (224 at 4K, 396 at 1440p, 594 at 1080p), but it sacrifices visual quality that is noticeable in Roblox’s user-generated environments. The High preset sits between Low and Medium, offering 180 FPS at 4K, 319 at 1440p, and 478 at 1080p, but it lacks the min FPS data that Medium provides. The Ultra preset is the most demanding, dropping to 146 FPS at 4K, 259 at 1440p, and 388 at 1080p, which is still playable but does not justify the visual gains for a game with simple graphics.

For most users, Medium is the recommended starting point because it guarantees no drops below 173 FPS even at 4K. If a user prioritizes maximum frame rates for competitive play, Low at 1080p (594 FPS) is the best choice, while those with 4K displays should stick to Medium or High, as the difference between 204 and 180 FPS is negligible on most monitors. Ultra is only advisable for users with 60 Hz displays who want the absolute best visuals, as the 146 FPS at 4K still exceeds that target.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 3840x2160 (4K), the measured results show a clear hierarchy: Low settings produce 224 FPS average, Medium produces 204 FPS with a 173 FPS minimum and 235 FPS maximum, High produces 180 FPS, and Ultra produces 146 FPS. The gap between Low and Ultra is 78 FPS, representing a 53% performance penalty for maximum visual quality. The Medium preset is the only 4K row with min/max data, indicating it was the most stable configuration tested.

At 2560x1440 (1440p), the FPS numbers scale up significantly: Low averages 396 FPS, Medium averages 361 FPS (with min 307 and max 415), High averages 319 FPS, and Ultra averages 259 FPS. The difference between Low and Ultra here is 137 FPS, a 53% spread that mirrors the 4K results. Notably, the Medium preset’s minimum of 307 FPS is still above the maximum of the Ultra preset at this resolution, showing that settings choice has a larger impact than resolution scaling.

At 1920x1080 (1080p), the system reaches its peak: Low averages 594 FPS, Medium averages 540 FPS (with min 459 and max 622), High averages 478 FPS, and Ultra averages 388 FPS. The 594 FPS at Low is likely close to the engine’s frame rate cap, as even the weakest preset cannot push much higher. The Ultra preset at 388 FPS is still far above any practical refresh rate, making 1080p Ultra a viable choice for users who want the best visuals without sacrificing smoothness.

Across all resolutions, the Medium preset consistently shows the most complete data with min/max values, suggesting it was the primary test configuration. The measured FPS at Medium scales from 204 (4K) to 361 (1440p) to 540 (1080p), representing a 2.65x increase from 4K to 1080p. The Ultra preset scales from 146 to 259 to 388, a 2.66x increase, indicating consistent scaling behavior. The Low preset scales from 224 to 396 to 594, a 2.65x increase, confirming that the system’s performance is well-balanced across all settings and resolutions.
