Ready Or Not

# Ready Or Not with AMD Ryzen 5 4600G + NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070

The pairing of the AMD Ryzen 5 4600G with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 presents a curious imbalance in Ready Or Not: a six-core CPU from the 4000 series designed for efficiency sits alongside a Blackwell 2.0 GPU with 12 GB of GDDR7 memory, producing frame rates that range from 72 FPS at 4K Ultra to 392 FPS at 1080p Low. The data reveals a system where the GPU carries most of the rendering load, yet the CPU's Zen 2 architecture—with a base clock of 3.70 GHz and a boost of 4.20 GHz—still manages to keep up at lower resolutions, suggesting the game's tactical shooter engine is not overwhelmingly thread-hungry. This combination ranks 781st out of 3,714 tested combos, placing it in the upper quintile of all configurations, which is remarkable given the CPU's age relative to the GPU's 2025 release.

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

The AMD Ryzen 5 4600G brings 6 cores and 12 threads to the table, built on the Zen 2 architecture at a 7 nm process node. Its base clock of 3.70 GHz can reach 4.20 GHz under boost, and the CPU's 65 W TDP suggests it was designed for mainstream systems rather than high-end gaming rigs. The processor's cache hierarchy includes 64 KB of L1 per core, 512 KB of L2 per core, and 8 MB of shared L3, which is modest by modern standards but adequate for a tactical shooter like Ready Or Not. The CPU's benchmark scores show a single-thread performance of 1,919 in Cinebench R23 and a multicore score of 13,593, with a 3DMark single-thread score of 726 and 16-thread score of 4,863.

In the context of Ready Or Not's measured FPS, the CPU's role becomes clearer when examining the scaling across settings at a fixed resolution. At 1080p, the average FPS jumps from 218 on Ultra to 342 on Medium, 311 on High, and 392 on Low—a spread of 174 FPS between the lowest and highest settings. This wide variance indicates that the game is not CPU-bound at this resolution; otherwise, the FPS would cluster more tightly regardless of GPU load. The Ryzen 5 4600G's percentile rank of 71 among all CPUs, with an average benchmark score of 17,507, places it slightly above the middle of the pack, yet it still enables frame rates above 300 FPS at 1080p Low. The nearest rivals, such as the AMD Ryzen 3 PRO 5355GE with a deltaPct of 0.1 and the Intel Core 7 150U with a deltaPct of 0.6, are within a small percentage, confirming the 4600G's competitive standing for this workload.

At 4K, the CPU's influence diminishes further. The FPS at 4K High is 102, while 4K Medium delivers 113 FPS (with a minimum of 96 and maximum of 130), and 4K Low reaches 129 FPS. This scaling pattern—where the CPU's 12 threads are likely not saturated—suggests that Ready Or Not's engine leverages multiple cores but does not require the extreme thread counts of modern flagship processors. The Cinebench R20 multicore score of 5,709 and PassMark multithread score of 15,992 indicate the CPU can handle concurrent AI and physics simulations, but the game's performance deltas across settings are more attributable to GPU load than CPU headroom. The data implies that the Ryzen 5 4600G, despite being a 2020 release, provides sufficient computational power for this title, especially since the GPU's 82nd percentile ranking (average benchmark score of 40,377) suggests it is the dominant component in this pairing.

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

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 is the star of this configuration, featuring 12 GB of GDDR7 memory on a 192-bit bus with a bandwidth of 672.0 GB/s. Its base clock runs at 2325 MHz with a boost clock of 2512 MHz, and the memory operates at 1750 MHz (28 Gbps effective). The GPU's Blackwell 2.0 architecture, built on a 5 nm process, includes 6,144 shading units, 192 TMUs, and 80 ROPs, with 48 RT cores and 192 tensor cores. The compute capabilities are substantial: 30.87 TFLOPS of FP32 and FP16 (1:1), a pixel rate of 201.0 GPixel/s, and a texture rate of 482.3 GTexel/s. The GPU's passmark G3D score of 29,137 and 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 5,077 underscore its high-end positioning.

In Ready Or Not, the GPU's role is most evident in the resolution scaling. From 1080p to 1440p, the average FPS at High settings drops from 311 to 196—a 37% reduction—and from 1440p to 4K, it falls further to 102, a 48% reduction from 1440p. This steep decline at higher resolutions indicates that the RTX 5070's fill rate and memory bandwidth are being taxed as pixel count increases. The GPU's 12 GB VRAM appears sufficient for the game's textures, as the FPS at 4K Ultra (72 FPS) remains playable, though the gap between Ultra and Low at 4K (72 vs. 129 FPS) shows how demanding the highest preset is on the GPU's compute and memory subsystems.

The GPU's nearest rivals in the benchmark database—such as the AMD Radeon Pro 580 with a deltaPct of 0.1 and the AMD Radeon Pro WX 7100 with a deltaPct of 0.8—are close in average score, but the RTX 5070's 82nd percentile ranking places it well above the median GPU. In Ready Or Not, the GPU's performance is clearly the limiting factor at 4K Ultra, where the 72 FPS average is nearly half of the 138 FPS at 1440p Ultra. This suggests that the game's Ultra preset introduces effects (likely ray tracing or volumetric lighting) that heavily burden the GPU's RT cores and shading units, while the CPU remains less involved. The data indicates that the RTX 5070 delivers strong performance for a tactical shooter, but users seeking the highest fidelity will need to accept lower frame rates at 4K.

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

Examining the measured FPS across all resolutions and settings, the Medium preset emerges as the most balanced choice for this combo. At 1080p Medium, the average FPS is 342 with a minimum of 290 and maximum of 393, providing a smooth experience with a sufficient frame buffer for fast-paced tactical actions. The High preset at 1080p delivers 311 FPS, which is only 9% lower than Medium, but the visual quality improvement may not justify the performance cost for competitive play. At 1440p Medium, the average FPS is 216 (minimum 183, maximum 248), which remains above the 144 Hz refresh rate of many gaming monitors, making it an excellent choice for high-refresh displays. The 4K Medium preset produces 113 FPS with a minimum of 96 and maximum of 130, which is playable on standard 60 Hz displays but may dip below 100 FPS in demanding scenes.

The Ultra preset, while visually impressive, shows significant performance penalties: 218 FPS at 1080p, 138 FPS at 1440p, and only 72 FPS at 4K. The 4K Ultra result is particularly concerning, as the 72 FPS average leaves little headroom for frame drops, and the lack of a reported minimum FPS suggests the data may not capture worst-case scenarios. The Low preset, on the other hand, maximizes frame rates (392 FPS at 1080p, 247 FPS at 1440p, 129 FPS at 4K) but likely sacrifices visual fidelity in a game where environmental detail and enemy visibility are crucial. For most users, the Medium preset offers the best compromise: it maintains frame rates above 100 FPS even at 4K, while the High preset provides a modest visual upgrade with only a slight FPS reduction. Given that the data shows Medium consistently outperforming High by about 10% across all resolutions, Medium is recommended for consistent performance, with High as an alternative for those prioritizing visuals over a few extra frames per second.

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

The FPS scaling from 1080p to 4K reveals a clear pattern that identifies the GPU as the primary limiting component in this combo. At High settings, the average FPS drops from 311 at 1080p to 196 at 1440p (a 37% reduction) and then to 102 at 4K (a 48% reduction from 1440p). This nonlinear decline is characteristic of GPU-bound scenarios, where the rendering load increases quadratically with pixel count. In contrast, if the CPU were the bottleneck, the FPS would remain relatively flat across resolutions, as the CPU's workload (game logic, AI, physics) does not scale with resolution. The data shows that the FPS at Low settings follows a similar pattern: 392 at 1080p, 247 at 1440p, and 129 at 4K, with a 37% drop from 1080p to 1440p and a 48% drop from 1440p to 4K.

This consistent scaling across settings indicates that the RTX 5070's rendering pipeline—including its 192-bit memory bus and 672.0 GB/s bandwidth—is the constraining factor at higher resolutions. The GPU's 12 GB VRAM is likely sufficient, as the FPS does not collapse at 4K (which would indicate memory overflow), but the bandwidth and shading unit throughput determine the frame rates. The CPU's role is more apparent at lower resolutions, where the FPS at 1080p Low (392) approaches the limits of what the Ryzen 5 4600G's 12 threads can feed to the GPU. The PassMark single-thread score of 2,653 and Cinebench R23 single-core score of 1,919 suggest that the CPU can handle the game's single-threaded tasks, but at 1080p Low, the GPU is so fast that the CPU may occasionally struggle to keep up, as evidenced by the 392 FPS ceiling. Overall, the resolution scaling data confirms that the GPU is the dominant component, and the CPU provides sufficient headroom for most settings, except possibly at 1080p Low where frame rates exceed 390 FPS.
