Ready Or Not

The AMD Ryzen 5 2600 and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 pairing in Ready Or Not delivers a strong 1080p experience and remains playable at 4K, but the data reveals a clear hierarchy where the GPU’s capabilities dominate at lower resolutions while the CPU’s age becomes a limiting factor at higher settings.

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

The RTX 4060 is the primary driver of frame rates in this configuration. Its 8 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 128-bit bus provides 272.0 GB/s of bandwidth, which is sufficient for the textures and geometry in Ready Or Not at the tested settings. The GPU’s boost clock of 2460 MHz, paired with 3072 shading units, explains why the card handles the game’s tactical environments with substantial headroom.

The measured results show the GPU’s scaling is highly efficient up to a point. At 1080p, the card pushes from 147 FPS on Ultra to 266.9 FPS on Low, indicating that even at maximum settings the GPU is not fully saturated at this resolution. The RTX 4060’s 24 RT cores and 96 tensor cores also contribute to the game’s visual features, though the benchmarks do not isolate ray tracing or DLSS performance specifically.

At 4K Ultra, the frame rate drops to 51.9 FPS, which is the only result below the 60 FPS threshold. This suggests the GPU’s 8 GB VRAM and 128-bit bus are nearing their limits at 3840x2160 with maximum detail. The GPU’s PassMark G3D score of 19545 places it in the 66th percentile of all GPUs, and its nearest rival, the AMD Radeon RX 6600M, scores 23321 with a deltaPct of -0.6, showing the RTX 4060 is essentially neck-and-neck with that mobile part in synthetic tests.

FAQ — 4-6 Q&A pairs answerable from FACT PACK data

*Q: Can this combo run Ready Or Not at 4K?*

A: Yes, but with caveats. At 4K High, the average FPS is 71.9, which is playable. However, at 4K Ultra, the average drops to 51.9 FPS, which is below the 60 FPS target for smooth gameplay.

Q: What is the best resolution for this pairing?

A: 1440p offers the best balance. At 1440p High, the average FPS is 130.5, which is well above the 60 FPS threshold while still providing higher detail than 1080p. 1080p High reaches 208.8 FPS, but the visual quality is lower.

Q: How does the CPU’s age affect performance?

A: The Ryzen 5 2600’s 6 cores and 12 threads, with a boost clock of 3.90 GHz, are sufficient for the game’s logic, but the CPU’s PassMark single-thread score of 2239 is modest. At lower settings, where the GPU is not taxed, the CPU may become the bottleneck, though the measured FPS numbers do not show stuttering or inconsistent frame times.

Q: Is the RTX 4060 a balanced match for the Ryzen 5 2600?

A: The data indicates the GPU is the stronger component. The RTX 4060’s average benchmark score is 23181, placing it in the 66th percentile, while the CPU’s average score is 19616, in the 77th percentile. The combo ranks 1014 out of 1748 tested combos in this game, which is slightly below the midpoint.

Q: What is the difference between Low and Ultra settings at 1080p?

A: The difference is substantial: 266.9 FPS on Low versus 147 FPS on Ultra, a gap of 119.9 FPS. This shows that the GPU has massive headroom at 1080p, and even Ultra settings do not significantly stress the RTX 4060.

Q: Which setting preset provides the most consistent experience?

A: Based on the measured rows, Medium settings at 1440p (144.5 FPS) or High at 4K (71.9 FPS) are the safest choices. Medium at 1080p (231.3 FPS) is also excellent, but it does not leverage the GPU’s full potential for higher resolution.

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

The AMD Ryzen 5 2600, with 6 cores and 12 threads, is a Zen-based 12 nm processor from the 2000 series. Its base clock of 3.40 GHz and boost clock of 3.90 GHz are modest by modern standards, but they are sufficient for Ready Or Not’s AI-driven tactical gameplay. The CPU’s L3 cache is 16 MB shared, which helps with the game’s level streaming.

The benchmark data shows the CPU’s limitations emerge at high frame rates. At 1080p Low, the combo achieves 266.9 FPS, which is likely near the CPU’s ceiling for frame generation in this game. The CPU’s Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 11186 and single-core score of 1579 are lower than more recent processors, but the game’s engine does not appear to be heavily multi-threaded, as the 6-core/12-thread configuration maintains playable performance even at 4K.

Compared to its nearest rivals in the database, the Ryzen 5 2600’s average benchmark score of 19616 is nearly identical to the Intel Core i5-1345U’s 19691 (deltaPct -0.4) and the AMD Ryzen 5 7530U’s 19508 (deltaPct 0.6). This places the CPU in the 77th percentile of all processors, indicating it is an average performer for the era, but not a bottleneck in most Ready Or Not scenarios.

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

The FPS scaling across resolutions reveals a classic GPU-bound pattern at high settings, but a CPU-bound pattern at low settings. At High settings, the average FPS drops from 208.8 at 1080p to 130.5 at 1440p, then to 71.9 at 4K. This 65% reduction from 1080p to 4K indicates the GPU is the primary limiter, as the RTX 4060’s workload scales with pixel count.

At Low settings, the drop is more severe: 266.9 FPS at 1080p, 169.4 at 1440p, and 86.3 at 4K. The 1080p Low result is exceptionally high, suggesting the CPU is generating frames as fast as it can, while the GPU has little work to do. The percentage drop from 1080p to 4K at Low settings is 67.7%, which is similar to High, but the absolute numbers are higher, indicating the CPU’s frame generation limit is not being reached at 4K.

The Ultra settings show the most dramatic scaling: 147 FPS at 1080p, 94.5 at 1440p, and 51.9 at 4K. The 4K Ultra result is the only one below 60 FPS, and the 35.3% drop from 1080p to 1440p is larger than the 28.4% drop from 1440p to 4K, suggesting the GPU’s memory bandwidth and VRAM capacity are the limiting factors at maximum detail.

Settings Recommendations — which preset gives the best experience per the measured rows

For a smooth 60 FPS experience, the data points to High settings at 4K (71.9 FPS) as the highest quality option that maintains playability. If the user prefers a higher refresh rate, Medium settings at 1440p (144.5 FPS) or High at 1440p (130.5 FPS) are excellent choices, as both exceed 120 FPS and provide a substantial visual upgrade over Low.

At 1080p, the recommendation is High settings (208.8 FPS) or Medium (231.3 FPS), as both are well above any competitive threshold. Ultra at 1080p (147 FPS) is also viable, but the visual difference between High and Ultra may not justify the 61.8 FPS drop. For users with 144Hz monitors, Medium at 1440p (144.5 FPS) is the sweet spot, as it hits the refresh rate target while keeping detail levels high. Low settings should be avoided unless maximum frame rates are needed for competitive play, as the visual degradation is severe and the GPU has ample headroom.

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

At 1920x1080, the RTX 4060 delivers exceptional performance across all presets. Low settings produce 266.9 FPS, Medium drops to 231.3 FPS, High reaches 208.8 FPS, and Ultra bottoms out at 147 FPS. The gap between Low and Ultra is 119.9 FPS, showing the GPU’s raw power is more than sufficient for this resolution.

Moving to 2560x1440, the numbers remain high. Low hits 169.4 FPS, Medium achieves 144.5 FPS, High maintains 130.5 FPS, and Ultra drops to 94.5 FPS. The scaling from 1080p to 1440p is consistent, with an average reduction of about 37% across all settings, indicating the GPU is still the primary bottleneck.

At 3840x2160, performance becomes more constrained. Low produces 86.3 FPS, Medium drops to 76.1 FPS, High reaches 71.9 FPS, and Ultra falls to 51.9 FPS. The 4K results show a clear tiering: only Low, Medium, and High are above 60 FPS, while Ultra fails to reach this threshold. The delta between 1440p and 4K is roughly 45% on average, which is a steeper drop than the 1080p to 1440p transition, further indicating the GPU’s memory subsystem is the limiting factor at 4K.

How This Combo Ranks — use comboRankInGame vs other tested combos

This specific combination of the AMD Ryzen 5 2600 and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 ranks 1014 out of 1748 tested combos in Ready Or Not. This places it in the 58th percentile of all configurations, which is slightly below the median.

The rank reflects the CPU’s age more than the GPU’s capability. The RTX 4060’s PassMark G3D score of 19545 is competitive, but the Ryzen 5 2600’s single-thread performance (2239 in PassMark) holds back the combo in a game that appears to favor higher IPC processors. The fact that the combo achieves 51.9 FPS at 4K Ultra suggests the GPU is being fully utilized, but the CPU’s frame generation limit around 267 FPS at 1080p Low shows it is not a modern high-end part.

Compared to the database’s other combos, this pairing is a mid-pack performer. The GPU’s nearest rival, the AMD Radeon RX 6600M, has a similar average score (23321 vs 23181), so the RTX 4060 is not the source of the rank. Instead, the CPU’s position in the 77th percentile of all processors, while respectable, is not enough to push this combo higher, as many other tested configurations likely feature newer Ryzen 5000 or Intel 12th/13th gen CPUs with stronger single-thread performance.
