Ready Or Not

Measured FPS Breakdown

The recorded performance data for Ready Or Not with the Intel Core i3-12100F and Intel Arc B370 shows a clear scaling pattern across resolutions and presets. At 1920x1080, the combination delivers playable frame rates across all tested settings. The Low preset averages 113 FPS, which is the highest recorded value for this pairing. Medium averages 98 FPS with a minimum of 83 FPS and a maximum of 113 FPS. High averages 89 FPS, while Ultra averages 63 FPS. All four presets at 1080p stay above the 60 FPS playability threshold, with Ultra being the most demanding preset that still clears it.

Moving to 2560x1440, the averages drop noticeably. Low averages 71 FPS, Medium averages 62 FPS with a minimum of 53 FPS and a maximum of 71 FPS, High averages 56 FPS, and Ultra averages 40 FPS. The Medium preset is the only one at this resolution that maintains an average above 60 FPS, although its minimum dips below the threshold. Low also clears 60 FPS on average, but Medium offers the higher visual quality while keeping the average above the playable mark.

At 3840x2160, the combination struggles to maintain playable frame rates. Low averages 37 FPS, Medium averages 32 FPS with a minimum of 28 FPS and a maximum of 37 FPS, High averages 29 FPS, and Ultra averages 21 FPS. No preset at 4K reaches the 60 FPS threshold, and even the lowest preset falls far short of playable performance. The data indicates a steep performance penalty as resolution increases, which is consistent with the GPU being the limiting factor at higher pixel counts.

Similar Performance Alternatives

The Intel Core i3-12100F sits at the 68th percentile among all tested CPUs, with an average benchmark score of 13494. Its nearest rivals in the database include the Intel Core 3 N355 with an average score of 13492 and a delta of 0%, the Intel Core i5-9500 with a score of 13452 and a delta of 0.3%, the Intel Core 5 120UL with a score of 13594 and a delta of -0.7%, and the Intel Core i7-1250U with a score of 13351 and a delta of 1.1%. These CPUs would deliver essentially identical CPU-bound performance in Ready Or Not, meaning the frame rates recorded for this configuration would be very similar if the CPU were swapped for any of these alternatives.

The Intel Arc B370 GPU, however, ranks at only the 5th percentile among all GPUs, with an average benchmark score of 1184. Its nearest rivals are the ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5570 with a score of 1186 and a delta of -0.2%, the ATI Radeon HD 5770 with a score of 1190 and a delta of -0.5%, the AMD Radeon HD 7650M with a score of 1192 and a delta of -0.7%, and the AMD FirePro M2000 with a score of 1168 and a delta of 1.4%. These older GPUs are within a fraction of a percent of the Arc B370's performance, so the measured FPS in this game would be nearly identical if any of those GPUs were paired with the i3-12100F. The GPU's percentile ranking places it far below most modern discrete graphics cards, which explains why the 4K results are so limited.

CPU and GPU Roles

The benchmark results reveal a clear division of labor between the CPU and GPU in Ready Or Not. At 1920x1080, the frame rate scales with preset quality: Low averages 113 FPS, Medium averages 98 FPS, High averages 89 FPS, and Ultra averages 63 FPS. This 50 FPS spread between Low and Ultra suggests the GPU is handling most of the rendering load, but the CPU is still able to feed it adequately at all presets. The fact that Ultra still clears 60 FPS indicates the i3-12100F has enough single-thread and multi-thread headroom for this game at 1080p.

At 2560x1440, the average frame rates drop by roughly 30 to 40 percent compared to 1080p for each preset. Low goes from 113 to 71 FPS, Medium from 98 to 62 FPS, High from 89 to 56 FPS, and Ultra from 63 to 40 FPS. This scaling pattern points to the GPU becoming the primary bottleneck as pixel count increases. The CPU's role diminishes because the GPU cannot generate frames fast enough to keep up with the processor's capabilities.

At 3840x2160, the GPU bottleneck becomes severe. The average frame rates across all presets fall between 21 and 37 FPS, with even Low failing to reach 40 FPS. The resolution scaling from 1440p to 4K roughly halves the frame rates, which is a classic sign of a GPU that is overwhelmed by pixel throughput. The CPU's contribution is minimal at this resolution, as the Arc B370's limited shading units, texture units, and raster operations (1280 shading units, 40 TMUs, 20 ROPs) cannot process the data quickly enough. The recorded data shows that the GPU is the determining factor at 1440p and 4K, while the CPU is sufficient across all tested resolutions and presets.

The Verdict

The database verdictByResolution data answers whether this PC can run Ready Or Not. At 1920x1080, all four presets are marked as playable, with Ultra listed as the best settings and an average FPS of 63. This configuration clears the 60 FPS threshold at 1080p even on the highest quality preset. At 2560x1440, the playable settings are Low and Medium, with Medium as the best settings and an average FPS of 62. High and Ultra fall below 60 FPS, with averages of 56 and 40 respectively. At 3840x2160, no settings are playable, and the best settings field is null, meaning the system cannot maintain 60 FPS at 4K under any preset.

The practical verdict is straightforward: this PC can run Ready Or Not comfortably at 1920x1080 with any preset, and at 2560x1440 if the user accepts Medium quality or lower. For 4K gaming, the system is not viable for this title, as even the Low preset averages only 37 FPS. The playable threshold is defined as 60 FPS, and the data confirms that the 1080p Ultra preset, with an average of 63 FPS, is the highest quality setting that maintains playability.

How This Combo Ranks

The combination of the Intel Core i3-12100F and Intel Arc B370 ranks 3427 out of 3714 tested combos in Ready Or Not. This places the system in the bottom 8 percent of all recorded configurations for this game. The low ranking is primarily driven by the GPU's 5th percentile standing among all GPUs, while the CPU's 68th percentile ranking provides adequate processing power. The data shows that the GPU is the limiting factor in this pairing, as evidenced by the steep frame rate drops at higher resolutions.

For context, the GPU's nearest rivals, such as the ATI Radeon HD 5770 and AMD Radeon HD 7650M, are older integrated and entry-level discrete solutions that would similarly struggle with modern tactical shooters. The CPU, on the other hand, is competitive with mid-range processors like the Intel Core i5-9500 and Intel Core 3 N355, both within 0.3% of its average score. The combination's rank reflects the GPU's inability to keep pace with the CPU's capabilities, and the measured FPS data confirms that the system is best suited for 1080p gaming.

Best Settings per Resolution

At 1920x1080, the best settings that remain at or above 60 FPS are the Ultra preset, with an average FPS of 63. This is the highest quality option available that maintains playability. At 2560x1440, the best settings are the Medium preset, with an average FPS of 62. This preset offers a balance of visual fidelity and performance, though the minimum recorded FPS of 53 indicates occasional dips below the threshold. At 3840x2160, no settings achieve 60 FPS, so there is no recommended preset for this resolution. The database lists the best settings as null for 4K, confirming that the system cannot deliver playable frame rates at this resolution.

The data also provides minimum and maximum FPS for the Medium preset at each resolution: at 1080p, the range is 83 to 113 FPS; at 1440p, the range is 53 to 71 FPS; and at 4K, the range is 28 to 37 FPS. These ranges highlight the variance players can expect, with the 1440p Medium preset being the most marginal case for maintaining the 60 FPS threshold. For users prioritizing smooth gameplay, the 1080p Ultra preset is the clear choice, as it delivers the highest visual quality while remaining comfortably above the playable threshold.
