Ready Or Not

Resolution Scaling

The measured frame rates for this combination of AMD Ryzen 5 5500 and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 in Ready Or Not show a clear progression as resolution climbs. At 1080p with Low settings, the combo produces 265.3 FPS, which drops to 210.6 FPS on High and 148.3 FPS on Ultra. Moving to 1440p, the average frame rates sit at 168.8 FPS (Low), 135.1 FPS (High), and 96.3 FPS (Ultra). At 4K, the numbers fall further: 89.3 FPS on Low, 79.9 FPS on Medium, 68.3 FPS on High, and 46.3 FPS on Ultra.

The scaling pattern from 1080p to 4K reveals where the bottleneck shifts. At 1080p Low, the system is heavily CPU-limited; the 265.3 FPS figure far exceeds what the GPU needs to deliver, and the frame rate is constrained by the processor's ability to feed the renderer. The transition from 1080p Low to 1440p Low shows a 36.4% drop (from 265.3 to 168.8 FPS), which is substantial but not catastrophic, indicating that the GPU is starting to take over as the primary limiter. However, the gap between 1440p High (135.1 FPS) and 4K High (68.3 FPS) is a 49.4% reduction, demonstrating that the RTX 4060's 8 GB VRAM and 128-bit memory bus become the dominant constraint at higher pixel counts.

The most telling comparison is between Low and Ultra at each resolution. At 1080p, Low produces 265.3 FPS while Ultra yields 148.3 FPS, a 44.1% reduction. At 4K, the same settings gap results in 89.3 FPS versus 46.3 FPS, a 48.2% reduction. This consistency suggests that the graphics settings scale similarly across resolutions, but the absolute headroom shrinks. The data indicates that this combo is comfortable at 1080p and 1440p for high-refresh displays, but 4K Ultra at 46.3 FPS falls below the smoothness threshold for a tactical shooter where responsiveness matters. The 4K Medium result of 79.9 FPS remains playable, but the drop to 68.3 FPS at High shows the GPU's memory bandwidth becoming a limiting factor.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 5 5500 is a 6-core, 12-thread processor based on the Zen 3 architecture (Cezanne codename) built on TSMC's 7 nm process. Its base clock is 3.60 GHz with a boost clock of 4.20 GHz, and it has 16 MB of L3 cache alongside 512 KB of L2 per core. In synthetic benchmarks, the chip scores 836 in 3DMark single-thread, 1645 in 3DMark 2-thread, and 5411 in 3DMark max-threads. Cinebench R23 results show 2319 in single-core and 16429 in multi-core. PassMark single-thread performance is 3058, and multithread score is 19330.

For Ready Or Not, a tactical shooter that relies on AI-driven enemy behavior and physics interactions, the CPU's single-thread performance is critical. The 3DMark single-thread score of 836 and Cinebench R23 single-core score of 2319 place this processor in a competitive position for gaming workloads. The boost clock of 4.20 GHz ensures that the CPU can respond quickly to the game's real-time simulation demands. The 6-core, 12-thread configuration provides enough parallelism for background tasks and game logic threads, but the data suggests that at 1080p Low, the CPU is the limiting factor—the 265.3 FPS result is likely near the processor's maximum frame delivery capability for this game.

The nearest rivals in CPU benchmarks show how close this chip is to others. The Intel Core i5-12500 has an average benchmark score of 20897, which is 0.1% higher than the Ryzen 5 5500's 20875. The AMD Ryzen 5 PRO 4655GE scores 20900, also 0.1% higher. The AMD EPYC 7J13 (a server part) scores 20845, 0.1% lower, and the Intel Core i5-12600T scores 20917, 0.2% higher. These marginal differences indicate that the Ryzen 5 5500 is extremely well-matched against mainstream alternatives, and its performance in Ready Or Not should be similar to those parts. The processor's percentile rank of 79 among all CPUs means it outperforms the majority of installed processors, but it is not a top-tier part; its 3DMark 16-thread score of 5386 and max-thread score of 5411 show limited scaling beyond 8 threads, which is typical for a 6-core part.

How This Combo Ranks

In the database of tested combinations for Ready Or Not, this pairing of AMD Ryzen 5 5500 with NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 ranks 992 out of 1748 total combos. This places it in the middle of the pack, which is a notable finding given the individual component specs. The CPU's percentile rank of 79 and the GPU's percentile rank of 66 suggest that neither component is a standout performer, yet their combined result lands in a respectable position.

The rank of 992 out of 1748 means that roughly 43% of tested combos deliver better performance in this game, while 57% are worse. This mid-tier placement is consistent with the measured FPS data: the combo can handle 1080p and 1440p with high frame rates, but it is not among the elite configurations that push 4K Ultra past 60 FPS. The 4K Ultra average of 46.3 FPS is a clear limitation, and this likely drags the overall ranking down when compared to combos with higher-end GPUs or CPUs.

However, the ranking also reflects the balance between the two components. The Ryzen 5 5500's single-thread prowess (3DMark single-thread score of 836) and the RTX 4060's mid-range GPU performance (PassMark G3D score of 19545) create a system that is well-suited for 1080p and 1440p gaming. The 1440p High result of 135.1 FPS is particularly strong, and the 1080p High result of 210.6 FPS exceeds the refresh rate of most monitors. This suggests that the combo is optimized for high-refresh 1080p and 1440p play, which is a common target for tactical shooters where frame timing matters for aiming and reaction.

The GPU's nearest rivals provide context for its performance. The AMD Radeon RX 6600M scores 23321 in average benchmarks, 0.6% higher than the RTX 4060's 23181. The NVIDIA GeForce GTX 780 Ti scores 23338, 0.7% higher, and the Intel Arc B580 scores 23021, 0.7% lower. These deltas are small, meaning the RTX 4060 is essentially on par with these alternatives in synthetic tests. In Ready Or Not specifically, the combo rank suggests that the GPU's 8 GB VRAM and 272.0 GB/s bandwidth are adequate for most settings but not for 4K Ultra, where the 46.3 FPS result falls short.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 is built on the Ada Lovelace architecture with the AD107 chip on TSMC's 5 nm process. It features 3072 shading units, 96 texture mapping units, and 48 raster output units, along with 24 ray tracing cores and 96 tensor cores. The GPU has a base clock of 1830 MHz and a boost clock of 2460 MHz, with memory running at 2125 MHz (17 Gbps effective). Its 8 GB of GDDR6 memory sits on a 128-bit bus, providing 272.0 GB/s of bandwidth. The card's FP32 performance is 15.11 TFLOPS, and it has a TDP of 115 W.

In Ready Or Not, the GPU's role becomes increasingly important as resolution and settings increase. The 8 GB VRAM is a critical factor; at 4K Ultra, the game demands more memory than the card can efficiently provide, resulting in the 46.3 FPS average. The 128-bit memory bus and 272.0 GB/s bandwidth are modest for 4K workloads, which explains why the frame rate drops so sharply from 1440p High (135.1 FPS) to 4K High (68.3 FPS). The 24 ray tracing cores are present, but the game's performance data does not indicate whether ray tracing is enabled in these measurements; the settings listed (Low, Medium, High, Ultra) likely include various graphical features that stress the GPU differently.

The GPU's PassMark G3D score of 19545 and 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 2302 provide context for its raw performance. Its percentile rank of 66 among all GPUs means it outperforms two-thirds of the database, which is solid for a mainstream card. However, its nearest rivals show how close the competition is: the AMD Radeon RX 6600M is 0.6% faster, the GTX 780 Ti is 0.7% faster, while the Intel Arc B580 is 0.7% slower and the AMD Radeon 760M is 0.8% slower. These small deltas mean that in Ready Or Not, the RTX 4060's performance is directly comparable to these alternatives, and the game's frame rates would be similar.

The GPU's strengths are evident at 1080p and 1440p. At 1440p High, the 135.1 FPS result shows that the card has ample headroom for high-refresh monitors. At 1080p Ultra, the 148.3 FPS result is still excellent. The data indicates that the RTX 4060 is best utilized at these resolutions, where its 8 GB VRAM is sufficient and its 15.11 TFLOPS of FP32 performance can shine. The 4K results reveal its limitations: even at Low settings, the 89.3 FPS is lower than the 1440p High result, showing that the memory bandwidth is the primary constraint at 4K. The card's end-of-life production status and its 66th percentile ranking suggest that it is a capable but not high-end GPU, and its performance in this game reflects that positioning.
