GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 Ti is built on the Ampere architecture using an 8 nm process from Samsung, featuring 4,864 shading units and 80 ROPs. The GPU operates at a base clock of 1410 MHz and a boost clock of 1665 MHz, with 8 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 256-bit bus delivering 448.0 GB/s of bandwidth. These specifications position the card at the 59th percentile of all GPUs in the database.

In Roblox, the GPU's role becomes increasingly important as resolution scales upward. The data shows a clear pattern: at 1080p, the frame rates are so high (247-378 FPS depending on settings) that the GPU is not the primary constraint. However, at 4K, the GPU's workload increases significantly, and the frame rates drop to 93-143 FPS across settings. This indicates that the RTX 3060 Ti's pixel throughput and memory bandwidth become more relevant at higher resolutions.

The GPU's FP32 performance of 16.20 TFLOPS and texture rate of 253.1 GTexel/s contribute to its ability to handle Roblox's blocky geometry and simple shaders efficiently. The 38 ray tracing cores are present, though Roblox's rendering pipeline does not heavily utilize them based on the measured performance. The GPU's memory bandwidth of 448.0 GB/s appears sufficient for the game's texture streaming requirements, as evidenced by the consistent frame rates even at Ultra settings.

Resolution Scaling

The measured FPS data reveals a predictable scaling pattern as resolution increases from 1080p to 4K. At High settings, the average frame rate drops from 304 FPS at 1080p to 203 FPS at 1440p, and further to 115 FPS at 4K. This represents a 62.2% reduction from 1080p to 4K, indicating that the GPU is becoming the limiting factor at higher resolutions.

The Low settings configuration shows a similar trend: 378 FPS at 1080p, 253 FPS at 1440p, and 143 FPS at 4K. The drop from 1080p to 4K is 62.2% as well, suggesting that the scaling is consistent regardless of settings. This consistency implies that the resolution scaling behavior is primarily dictated by the GPU's fill rate and memory bandwidth rather than CPU limitations.

At Medium settings, where minimum and maximum FPS values were recorded, the pattern continues: 344 FPS average at 1080p (293 min, 396 max), 230 FPS at 1440p (195 min, 264 max), and 130 FPS at 4K (110 min, 149 max). The 4K minimum of 110 FPS still exceeds the 60 FPS threshold for smooth gameplay, indicating that even the most demanding resolution/settings combination remains playable.

The scaling from 1440p to 4K shows a larger relative drop compared to 1080p to 1440p. For High settings, the drop from 203 to 115 FPS is a 43.3% reduction, while the 1080p to 1440p drop is 33.2%. This nonlinear scaling behavior suggests that the GPU's memory bandwidth becomes increasingly strained as pixel count grows, aligning with the 448.0 GB/s bandwidth specification.

Settings Recommendations

The measured data provides clear guidance on which preset offers the best experience across different resolutions. At 1080p, High settings deliver 304 FPS average, which is only 40 FPS less than Low settings but provides substantially better visual quality. The Ultra preset at 247 FPS still exceeds the refresh rate of most high-end monitors, making it a viable option for users with 240 Hz displays.

At 1440p, the High preset at 203 FPS strikes the best balance between visual fidelity and performance. The Ultra preset at 165 FPS remains above the 144 Hz threshold commonly found in gaming monitors, while Medium at 230 FPS offers headroom for competitive play. The Low preset at 253 FPS provides minimal visual benefit for the additional 50 FPS over High.

For 4K gaming, the situation shifts. High settings at 115 FPS average provide a smooth experience on 60 Hz displays and are within reach of 120 Hz panels. The Medium preset at 130 FPS offers a slight performance boost with modest visual trade-offs. The Ultra preset at 93 FPS is still playable but may not fully utilize high refresh rate displays.

The data suggests that High settings provide the most consistent experience across all resolutions, with the average FPS never dropping below 115 FPS even at 4K. Users prioritizing maximum frame rates should consider Medium settings, which never fall below 130 FPS average at any tested resolution. The Ultra preset is recommended only for users with 60 Hz displays at 4K or 144 Hz displays at 1440p.

How This Combo Ranks

This specific combination of the Intel Core Ultra 7 265 and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 Ti ranks 1454 out of 3010 tested combos for Roblox. This places the system in the 48.3rd percentile of all tested configurations, meaning it outperforms slightly less than half of all recorded combinations in this game.

The ranking reflects the balance between the CPU and GPU in this particular workload. The RTX 3060 Ti's benchmark scores place it at the 59th percentile of all GPUs, while the Core Ultra 7 265 sits at the 93rd percentile of all CPUs. The GPU's relatively modest position in the overall GPU hierarchy appears to be the limiting factor for this combo's ranking in Roblox, especially at higher resolutions.

The GPU's nearest rivals in benchmark scores include the AMD Radeon RX 9060 (0.7% higher score), AMD Radeon Pro 5600M (1.4% lower score), AMD Radeon RX 5700 XT (1.4% lower score), and AMD Radeon R9 370X (1.7% higher score). These close benchmark scores suggest that the RTX 3060 Ti's performance is well understood and consistent with its contemporaries.

The CPU's nearest rivals show an even tighter grouping, with the AMD EPYC 4464P (0.3% lower score), Intel Core Ultra 7 265F (0.3% higher score), AMD EPYC 7343 (0.7% higher score), and AMD EPYC 9124 (0.7% lower score). This indicates that the Core Ultra 7 265's processing capabilities are not a significant differentiator in Roblox performance, as the game's workload is not heavily multithreaded.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The complete measured FPS data across all resolutions and settings is as follows:

1920x1080:

• Low: 378 FPS average
• Medium: 344 FPS average (293 min, 396 max)
• High: 304 FPS average
• Ultra: 247 FPS average

2560x1440:

• Low: 253 FPS average
• Medium: 230 FPS average (195 min, 264 max)
• High: 203 FPS average
• Ultra: 165 FPS average

3840x2160:

• Low: 143 FPS average
• Medium: 130 FPS average (110 min, 149 max)
• High: 115 FPS average
• Ultra: 93 FPS average

The data shows a consistent ordering across all resolutions: Low provides the highest frame rates, followed by Medium, High, and finally Ultra. The performance gap between Low and Ultra widens as resolution increases, from 131 FPS at 1080p to 50 FPS at 4K. This suggests that the Ultra preset's additional visual effects have a proportionally larger impact at higher resolutions.

The only configurations with recorded minimum and maximum FPS values are the Medium settings across all three resolutions. At 1080p, the minimum of 293 FPS and maximum of 396 FPS show a variance of 103 FPS, indicating some frame time inconsistency. At 1440p, the range is 69 FPS (195-264), and at 4K, the range narrows to 39 FPS (110-149). This decreasing variance at higher resolutions suggests that the GPU becomes more consistently saturated as resolution increases.

CPU Role

The Intel Core Ultra 7 265 features 20 cores and 20 threads based on the Arrow Lake architecture, manufactured on a 3 nm process by TSMC. The CPU runs at a base clock of 2.40 GHz and can boost up to 5.30 GHz, with a 65 W TDP. The cache hierarchy includes 192 KB of L1 cache per core, 3 MB of L2 cache per core, and 30 MB of shared L3 cache.

In Roblox, the CPU's role is primarily to manage game logic, physics calculations, and user-generated content streaming. The game's single-threaded performance benefits from the 5.30 GHz boost clock, which is reflected in the CPU's Cinebench R23 single-core score of 5960. The multi-core score of 42216 in the same benchmark demonstrates that the CPU has ample headroom for any parallel workloads the game might generate.

The CPU's PassMark single-thread score of 4689 and multithread score of 49682 place it at the 93rd percentile of all CPUs. This high ranking suggests that the processor is not a bottleneck in Roblox, especially when compared to the GPU's 59th percentile ranking. The data supports this conclusion: at 1080p Low settings, the system achieves 378 FPS, which is likely near the game's engine limits rather than a reflection of CPU or GPU constraints.

The CPU's nearest rivals in benchmark scores include the AMD EPYC 4464P (0.3% lower), Intel Core Ultra 7 265F (0.3% higher), AMD EPYC 7343 (0.7% higher), and AMD EPYC 9124 (0.7% lower). These differences are minimal, indicating that the Core Ultra 7 265's processing performance is well within the expected range for its class. The 20 threads and dual-channel DDR5 memory support with 102.4 GB/s bandwidth provide sufficient data throughput for Roblox's requirements.
