Against the AMD EPYC 9115, the i7-14700K holds a 0.1% advantage. These small deltas indicate the processor is well-matched against top-tier alternatives.

The L3 cache configuration of 33 MB shared, combined with 2 MB L2 per core and 80 KB L1 per core, provides ample data storage for game assets. Roblox's sandbox environments often involve many objects and scripts, which benefit from the processor's high boost clock of 5.60 GHz during burst workloads. The 125 W TDP suggests sustained performance is maintained, though the data does not include power consumption measurements for this specific game.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Ti features 8 GB of GDDR6X memory on a 256-bit bus, delivering 608.3 GB/s of bandwidth. The GA104 chip, built on Samsung's 8 nm process, contains 6144 shading units, 192 texture mapping units, and 96 raster operations units. With 48 ray tracing cores and 192 tensor cores, the GPU offers modern feature support, though Roblox's rendering demands are relatively modest.

The GPU's clock speeds are 1575 MHz base and 1770 MHz boost, with memory running at 1188 MHz effective 19 Gbps. The 21.75 TFLOPS FP32 performance provides substantial compute headroom that the measured FPS results reflect. At 4K Ultra, the GPU produces 107 average FPS, which is the most demanding scenario in the data. The 4K High result of 132 FPS and 4K Medium of 149 FPS show the RTX 3070 Ti handling high resolutions effectively.

The GPU's memory configuration of 8 GB GDDR6X at 608.3 GB/s bandwidth proves sufficient for Roblox at all tested settings.
