Roblox

Roblox is a sandbox title that rarely stresses high-end hardware, but the Intel Core Ultra 7 270K Plus paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 still delivers a wide spread of frame rates depending on resolution and quality preset. Measured data shows this combo sitting near the middle of the pack among 3010 tested combinations, with a rank of 1591. The CPU is a 24-core, 24-thread Arrow Lake Refresh part with a base clock of 3.70 GHz and a boost clock of 5.50 GHz, built on a 3 nm TSMC process. That core count and clock speed are far beyond what a game like Roblox needs, yet the benchmark results reveal that the GPU becomes the limiting factor at higher resolutions and settings. The RTX 4060, with 8 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 128-bit bus and a boost clock of 2460 MHz, shows its mid-range character in the 4K Ultra result, where average FPS drops to 90. At 1080p Low, the same combo reaches 364 FPS, indicating that CPU headroom is abundant and the graphics card is doing most of the work. This analysis covers the CPU’s role, the combo’s ranking, resolution scaling, exact measured FPS values, and the GPU’s contribution, all drawn from the provided fact pack.

CPU Role — cores, clocks, and how they relate to this game's results

The Intel Core Ultra 7 270K Plus is a desktop processor from the Core Ultra Series 2, released on 2026-03-10 with an active production status. It packs 24 cores and 24 threads, which is an unusual configuration — no hyper-threading, so each core maps to one thread. The base clock sits at 3.70 GHz, and the boost clock reaches 5.50 GHz, which is a substantial single-thread capability. The CPU has a TDP of 125 W, supports DDR5 memory on a dual-channel bus with a bandwidth of 115.2 GB/s, and includes 36 MB of shared L3 cache. Each core has 192 KB of L1 and 3 MB of L2 cache. The processor is unlocked, meaning users can adjust multipliers, but that is not relevant to the measured FPS data. Its integrated graphics are Arc Xe-LPG Graphics 64EU, though the discrete RTX 4060 handles rendering in this test.

In the context of Roblox, a sandbox game that relies heavily on physics, script execution, and world state updates, the CPU’s single-thread performance is often more important than raw core count. The passmark single-thread score for this processor is 5068, and the Cinebench R23 single-core score is 2439. These numbers indicate strong per-core performance, which helps maintain high frame rates in scenarios where the game logic becomes a bottleneck. The multi-threaded scores are also impressive — Cinebench R23 multi-core hits 44253, and passmark multithread reaches 68574 — but Roblox rarely scales across 24 cores. The data supports this: at 1080p Low, the combo achieves 364 FPS, which is nearly triple the 4K Ultra result of 90 FPS. If the CPU were the constraint, lowering resolution would not yield such a large FPS increase. Instead, the CPU appears to have ample headroom even at low settings, leaving the GPU as the primary limiter.

The processor’s percentile versus all CPUs is 96, meaning it outperforms 96% of tested CPUs in average benchmark score. Its average benchmark score is 93785, and its nearest rivals include Intel Xeon 6520P (score 93786, delta 0%), AMD EPYC 4564P (score 95183, delta -1.5%), AMD EPYC 9175F (score 95615, delta -1.9%), and AMD EPYC 4565P (score 95764, delta -2.1%). These are all server-class chips, but the 270K Plus keeps pace, trailing the fastest rival by just 2.1%. For Roblox, this level of CPU power means the game’s logic is unlikely to be the limiting factor, which is consistent with the measured FPS across all resolutions. The data suggests that in this title, the CPU’s role is to feed the GPU without stalling, and it does so effectively, as seen in the 1080p results where frame rates exceed 300 FPS on most presets.

How This Combo Ranks — use comboRankInGame vs other tested combos

The measured data places this Intel Core Ultra 7 270K Plus + RTX 4060 combination at rank 1591 out of 3010 tested combos in Roblox. That is a mid-field position — roughly 53rd percentile, though the exact percentile is not provided. Being in the middle of a large database does not imply poor performance; Roblox is not a demanding title, and many combos with stronger GPUs or CPUs will rank higher simply due to hardware tier differences. The rank 1591 suggests that this pairing is neither top-tier nor bottom-tier; it sits in a crowded region where many mid-range systems produce similar frame rates. DataIsMeasured is true, so these are actual results, not estimates.

Looking at the GPU’s overall standing, the RTX 4060 has a percentile versus all GPUs of 61, with an average benchmark score of 17639. Its nearest rivals in the GPU benchmark list are AMD Radeon HD 7790 (score 17666, delta -0.2%), AMD Radeon 780M (score 17588, delta 0.3%), AMD Radeon Pro 560 (score 17551, delta 0.5%), and AMD Radeon Pro 460 (score 17509, delta 0.7%). These deltas are tiny, meaning the RTX 4060 and those older or integrated GPUs are almost identical in average benchmark score. That is surprising, but the fact pack shows it plainly. In Roblox, however, the RTX 4060’s modern architecture and 8 GB VRAM likely contribute to the measured FPS, which are far higher than what those older rivals could manage. The combo rank of 1591 is a function of both CPU and GPU, and the CPU’s 96th percentile standing helps pull the combo up from what the GPU alone would suggest.

Compared to the CPU’s rivals, the combo rank shows that the 270K Plus performs nearly identically to the Intel Xeon 6520P in average score, with a delta of 0%. The AMD EPYC chips are slightly ahead, but by less than 2.2%. In Roblox, such small CPU differences rarely translate to meaningful FPS changes, especially at higher resolutions where the GPU dominates. The rank 1591 out of 3010 means that 1419 other combos outperformed it, but many of those likely use higher-end GPUs like RTX 4070 or above. The data does not provide those combos’ configurations, so the ranking must be accepted at face value: this is a mid-pack performer for Roblox, adequate for smooth play at most settings, but not a top-tier result.

Resolution Scaling — how FPS drops from 1080p to 4K and what it says about the limiting component

The measured FPS reveals a clear scaling pattern as resolution increases. At 1920x1080 with Low settings, the combo averages 364 FPS. Moving to 2560x1440 Low drops that to 243 FPS, a reduction of about 33%. At 3840x2160 Low, the average falls to 138 FPS, which is 62% lower than the 1080p Low result. This steep decline indicates that the GPU is the primary bottleneck; if the CPU were limiting, the FPS would remain similar across resolutions because the CPU workload does not change much with resolution. The RTX 4060, with its 128-bit memory bus and 272.0 GB/s bandwidth, struggles to maintain high frame rates as pixel count increases, especially in a game that can be draw-call heavy.

The same pattern holds for High settings. At 1080p High, average FPS is 293. At 1440p High, it drops to 196, a 33% decrease. At 4K High, it falls to 111, a 62% drop from 1080p High. The consistency of these percentage drops across Low and High settings suggests that the GPU is equally stressed at both quality levels, with resolution being the dominant factor. Ultra settings show an even larger drop: 238 FPS at 1080p, 159 FPS at 1440p, and 90 FPS at 4K. The 4K Ultra result is the lowest in the entire dataset, reinforcing that the RTX 4060 is not built for 4K gaming in Roblox at maximum quality, though 90 FPS is still playable.

The scaling also indicates that the CPU has significant headroom. At 1080p Low, the 364 FPS is likely near the game’s engine limit or the CPU’s single-thread capacity, but the fact that 1440p Low still achieves 243 FPS suggests the CPU is not the wall. If the CPU were maxed out at 1080p, the 1440p result would be much closer to 364 FPS, as the GPU would have more work per frame but the CPU would still be the constraint. Instead, the FPS drops proportionally with pixel count, a classic sign of GPU limitation. The medium settings at each resolution provide min and max FPS data, which further supports this: at 1080p Medium, the average is 332 FPS with a min of 282 and max of 381. At 1440p Medium, the average is 221 FPS with a min of 188 and max of 255. At 4K Medium, the average is 125 FPS with a min of 106 and max of 144. The min FPS values at 4K drop below 110, indicating occasional stutters or heavy scenes, but the overall trend is smooth scaling with resolution.

Measured FPS Breakdown — resolution by resolution, settings by settings, exact numbers

The fact pack provides exact measured FPS for twelve combinations of resolution and settings. Starting with 1920x1080, the Low preset delivers an average of 364 FPS, the highest in the dataset. Medium settings reduce that to 332 FPS, with a minimum of 282 and maximum of 381. High settings average 293 FPS, and Ultra drops to 238 FPS. These numbers show that even at the most demanding 1080p preset, the combo maintains a frame rate above 200, which is far beyond what most displays can show (typical monitors cap at 60, 144, or 240 Hz). The gap between Low and Ultra is 126 FPS, indicating that the RTX 4060 is powerful enough to handle Roblox at 1080p Ultra without breaking a sweat.

At 2560x1440, the Low preset averages 243 FPS, which is still very high. Medium averages 221 FPS, with a min of 188 and max of 255. High averages 196 FPS, and Ultra averages 159 FPS. The drop from 1080p to 1440p is noticeable but not drastic; every preset stays above 150 FPS. The Ultra result of 159 FPS is particularly interesting because it shows that even at 1440p with maximum settings, the combo is not struggling. The min FPS at Medium (188) is higher than the average at 4K Ultra (90), which highlights the resolution’s impact.

At 3840x2160, the Low preset averages 138 FPS, which is still smooth for most users. Medium averages 125 FPS, with a min of 106 and max of 144. High averages 111 FPS, and Ultra averages 90 FPS. The 4K Ultra result is the only one below 100 FPS in the entire dataset, and the 4K High result at 111 FPS is borderline for competitive play. The min FPS at 4K Medium (106) suggests that even in demanding scenes, the combo stays above 100 FPS, which is a positive sign. However, the lack of min/max data for other presets means we cannot assess stutter risk beyond Medium, but the averages are consistent.

Across all resolutions, the Medium preset is the only one with min and max FPS recorded, which allows for a glimpse into frame time consistency. At 1080p Medium, the range from min to max is 99 FPS (282 to 381), which is a wide spread but not unusual for a sandbox game with dynamic scenes. At 1440p Medium, the range is 67 FPS (188 to 255), narrower. At 4K Medium, the range is 38 FPS (106 to 144), the tightest, likely because the GPU is more consistently saturated. This pattern suggests that at lower resolutions, CPU or engine-level variations cause larger FPS swings, while at 4K, the GPU’s output is more steady.

GPU Role — VRAM, clocks, and how they relate to this game's results

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 is a GeForce 40-series card based on the Ada Lovelace architecture, with an AD107 chip manufactured on a 5 nm TSMC process. It has a base clock of 1830 MHz and a boost clock of 2460 MHz, with memory clocked at 2125 MHz (17 Gbps effective). The GPU features 8 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 128-bit bus, providing a bandwidth of 272.0 GB/s. Its compute capabilities include 3072 shading units, 96 TMUs, 48 ROPs, 24 RT cores, and 96 tensor cores, with FP32 performance of 15.11 TFLOPS. The card has a TDP of 115 W, requires a 300 W suggested PSU, and uses a dual-slot design with one 12-pin power connector. It is marked as end-of-life in production status, with a launch MSRP of 299 USD.

In Roblox, the RTX 4060’s role is to render geometry, textures, and lighting effects. The 8 GB VRAM is sufficient for this game at all tested settings, as Roblox does not feature massive texture packs or high-resolution assets that would exceed that capacity. The memory bus width of 128 bit is narrow, but the 272.0 GB/s bandwidth is adequate for 1080p and 1440p, as evidenced by the high FPS at those resolutions. At 4K, the bandwidth becomes a limiting factor, which explains why the FPS drops to 90 at Ultra. The GPU’s boost clock of 2460 MHz helps maintain throughput, but the small die size (159 mm²) and 18,900 million transistors indicate a mid-range part.

The GPU’s benchmark scores reflect its position: passmark G3D score is 19545, and 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score is 2302. Its percentile versus all GPUs is 61, meaning it beats 61% of GPUs in the database. However, its nearest rivals are older or integrated parts like the AMD Radeon HD 7790 (score 17666) and AMD Radeon 780M (score 17588), which are far less capable in modern games. This suggests that the average benchmark score is not fully representative of Roblox performance, where the RTX 4060 achieves much higher FPS than those rivals likely would. In the context of this game, the GPU’s 8 GB VRAM and 272 GB/s bandwidth are more than enough for 1080p and 1440p, but 4K Ultra pushes it to its limits, resulting in a 90 FPS average.
