How much tris does it take for Roblox games to lag? [ANSWER]

Now you should try it on an Iphone 7 and maybe then you’ll see a difference
Benchmarking with a top tier PC is like asking Usain Bolt to race against kids and then ask “why are they so slow, we’re all humans so we should have the same speed” :joy::joy::joy:

You should add a table at the end of your post that looks like (for people that will respond to this post with their own performance stats)
Device Name / RAM / CPU / GPU / FPS

Will do it later too on my phone if i remember :crossed_fingers:
This post would be pretty OP if we could get results from a lot of different devices

These are the results from my PC (results vary a lot depending on where you look on the map, there are probably a ton more parts in one direction than in others) (picked the direction with the worst results)

CPU: Ryzen 7 2700x
RAM: 16GB 3200mhz
GPU: RX 590 Nitro+
Running on a 2k 32" monitor so resolution also plays a big role in this

For consistency’s sake, you should place all the balls in a single long line instead of scattering them all around the map. That way everyone can have the same results (well not results but you know what i mean, can’t think of a better synonym for this word atm lol)

Data gathered from mobile:

Phone used: ROG Phone 5s PRO

Results:
Terrible result, causing my FPS to drop at around 10 FPS. The lag is also extensive on the other side.

No matter how many times you spam the same model, Roblox will not lag. There’s this thing in the Engine called Instancing which essentially boils down to “it saves the model in memory once and applies it to all locations and rotations”. If you spammed multiple very tri heavy models, I believe that it would at one point hit the lag threshold.

Edit:
Seriously… don’t expect to lag with memory consistently hovering around 500MB

Intel i9-11900k (not overclocked), 64 GB 2500 RAM, RTX 3090 FE, Running my studio in the background as well

These results surprise me, as I have experienced lag on much smaller games. It is possible that lag can also be experienced much worse when playing on games with large amounts of unoptimized scripts and unoptimized meshes.

Max graphics (I tried to look at the most balls at once).

with an fps unlcoker around 120 fps, compared to usual 500+ fps in a pure baseplate

alright frames, iffy in some spots, fine in others, max settings

Recorder kept crashing, but to sum it up, the same as my tablet, but at lowest settings - phone can run Jailbreak at max

Do want to note the video isnt the true resolution, the native Windows editor is bad :skull:

Yes! I shall include these in the limitations, I was not sure if Roblox does this when I posted this but now I know. The results are also way different on mid-end and low-end devices as such, they are unable to handle this much of tris.

Joined from my Fire tablet and had no issues. The only thing I can see being an issue in this case is your internet connection :thinking:

How much FPS there is ingame, entirely depends on what hardware the device is running on. I also got a beast of a computer, but in the end, it does just depend on the system specs

This blew away my Windows 8 Computer which is from 2013-2014 I think. It runs perfectly fine on other games. But my computer said no to this one.

This was at low graphics btw. (1)

I guess there’s no need for me to post my results as we essentially have the same specs (64GB RAM, RTX 3090 FE), with the exception of the CPU. I have a Ryzen 9, you have an i9.

CPU: Intel Xeon X5690 3.47 GHZ
RAM: 12 GB
GPU: NVIDIA GTX 1050 Ti

FPS: Average/Okay 20-30

After I joined the game, I’m just glad that the collision was not enabled. And now, you can imagine my laptop performance :sweat:


was testing it out on a 15 GB ram with a GTX 970
kept getting lag spikes to 40 fps then back up to 70

Memory has zero impact on fps loss. The amount of time it takes to render is what causes your FPS to go down.

Mild lag, might not even be considered lag. For some reason the screenshot isn’t uploading.

I ran this with a resolution of 1920x1080p.

Edit: I had a few apps open, but they shouldn’t have altered the FPS much, if at all, and I was using maximum graphics settings.
