Ready Or Not

The AMD Ryzen 5 5600 and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070 SUPER pairing delivers a wide performance envelope in Ready Or Not, shifting from a high-refresh 1080p powerhouse to a playable 4K setup. The data shows that this combination is best suited for 1440p gaming, where it balances image quality and frame rates effectively. The CPU’s 6-core, 12-thread configuration and the GPU’s 8 GB of GDDR6 memory prove sufficient, but the performance curve reveals where each component takes the lead.

Resolution Scaling

The transition from 1080p to 4K dramatically changes the performance profile of this system. At 1920x1080 with Low settings, the combo produces an average of 244.6 FPS. Moving to 2560x1440 Low drops that to 153.4 FPS, a 37% reduction that indicates the GPU is beginning to take on more work. At 3840x2160 Low, the average falls further to 79.5 FPS, showing that the pixel count is now the dominant factor limiting output.

The scaling pattern is consistent across all settings presets. For High settings, the frame rate goes from 194.3 FPS at 1080p to 121.7 FPS at 1440p, then down to 66.6 FPS at 4K. This represents a 66% drop from 1080p to 4K. The Ultra preset shows the most extreme scaling: 135.4 FPS at 1080p, 86.6 FPS at 1440p, and 43.9 FPS at 4K. The 1080p to 4K gap of 91.5 FPS on Ultra highlights that the RTX 2070 SUPER’s 8 GB frame buffer and 256-bit memory bus are stretched thin at the highest resolution.

The data suggests the CPU is not the limiting factor at 1080p, as even the most demanding preset clears 135 FPS. The GPU becomes the bottleneck as resolution increases, with the gap between Low and Ultra settings widening from 109.2 FPS at 1080p to 35.6 FPS at 4K. This indicates that Ready Or Not scales predictably with resolution, and the RTX 2070 SUPER’s 448.0 GB/s bandwidth is the key constraint at 4K.

FAQ

*Q: Can this combo handle 4K gaming in Ready Or Not?*

A: Yes, but with compromises. At 4K High settings, the average FPS is 66.6, which is playable. However, the Ultra preset drops to 43.9 FPS, which may feel less smooth. The Low preset at 79.5 FPS is the most comfortable 4K option.

Q: What is the best resolution for this pairing?

A: 2560x1440 offers the best balance. High settings deliver 121.7 FPS, Medium hits 135.3 FPS, and even Ultra stays above 86 FPS. This resolution keeps the frame rate high enough for a tactical shooter while providing more detail than 1080p.

Q: How does the CPU affect performance in this game?

A: The Ryzen 5 5600’s 6 cores and 12 threads are sufficient for high frame rates. At 1080p Low, the system reaches 244.6 FPS, indicating the CPU is not holding back the GPU. Its boost clock of 4.40 GHz and 32 MB of L3 cache help maintain consistent performance.

*Q: Is the RTX 2070 SUPER’s VRAM enough for Ready Or Not?*

A: The 8 GB of GDDR6 memory is adequate for 1080p and 1440p. At 4K, the 256-bit bus width and 448.0 GB/s bandwidth are adequate, but the Ultra preset’s 43.9 FPS suggests the GPU is nearing its limits with higher-resolution textures.

Q: What is the difference between Low and Ultra settings at 1440p?

A: The frame rate drops from 153.4 FPS on Low to 86.6 FPS on Ultra, a 66.8 FPS difference. This shows that the Ultra preset significantly increases GPU load, but the result is still above 60 FPS for smooth gameplay.

Q: How does this combo rank against other tested systems?

A: It ranks 1086 out of 1748 tested combinations, placing it in the 62nd percentile of all tested systems. This is a solid mid-to-upper tier position, reflecting its balanced CPU and GPU pairing.

How This Combo Ranks

The combination of the Ryzen 5 5600 and RTX 2070 SUPER ranks 1086 out of 1748 tested combos in Ready Or Not. This places the system in the upper half of all configurations tested, though not at the top tier. The CPU itself sits at the 79th percentile among all CPUs, while the GPU is at the 65th percentile among all GPUs. This creates a system where the processor is relatively stronger than the graphics card, which is reflected in the resolution scaling data.

Compared to its nearest CPU rivals, the Ryzen 5 5600 performs within a narrow band. It is 0.6% ahead of the Intel Xeon D-1746TER and 0.9% ahead of the Intel Core i7-11700F, but 0.6% behind the AMD EPYC 9554P and 0.6% behind the AMD EPYC 9534. This tight grouping suggests that the CPU is not a differentiator in this game at these settings.

The GPU’s nearest rivals show a similar pattern. The RTX 2070 SUPER is 2.5% ahead of the AMD Radeon RX 5700 and 0.9% ahead of the NVIDIA GeForce GTX TITAN Z, but 0.5% behind the NVIDIA RTX A400 and 2.3% behind the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 Mobile. The ranking of 1086 out of 1748 is consistent with a mid-range system that excels at 1440p but struggles at 4K Ultra.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The measured data provides a clear picture of performance across three resolutions and four settings presets.

1920x1080: The system is exceptionally fast here. Low settings average 244.6 FPS, Medium averages 217.3 FPS, and High averages 194.3 FPS. Even the demanding Ultra preset produces 135.4 FPS. These numbers indicate that the RTX 2070 SUPER has ample headroom at 1080p, and the CPU is able to feed frames quickly.

2560x1440: This is the sweet spot. Low settings deliver 153.4 FPS, Medium hits 135.3 FPS, and High reaches 121.7 FPS. The Ultra preset drops to 86.6 FPS, which is still well above the 60 FPS threshold for smooth play. The scaling from Low to Ultra shows a 66.8 FPS difference, reflecting increased GPU workload.

3840x2160: Performance becomes more constrained. Low settings average 79.5 FPS, Medium averages 71.6 FPS, and High averages 66.6 FPS. The Ultra preset falls to 43.9 FPS, which is below the ideal range for a tactical shooter. The gap between Low and Ultra is 35.6 FPS, indicating that the GPU is the primary bottleneck at 4K.

The data shows that the system is capable of high refresh rates at 1080p, solid 60+ FPS at 1440p on most presets, and playable but not ideal frame rates at 4K. The Ultra preset at 4K is the only configuration that dips below 60 FPS.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070 SUPER is built on the TU104 chip with 2560 shading units, 160 texture mapping units, and 64 render output units. Its boost clock of 1770 MHz and 8 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 256-bit bus provide 448.0 GB/s of bandwidth. These specifications directly influence the measured FPS results.

The GPU’s 9.062 TFLOPS of FP32 performance is the primary driver of frame rates in Ready Or Not. At 1080p, the GPU is not fully utilized, as evidenced by the 244.6 FPS on Low settings. As resolution increases, the GPU’s pixel rate of 113.3 GPixel/s becomes more critical, and the 4K results show the strain.

The 8 GB VRAM is sufficient for the game at all tested settings, but the Ultra preset at 4K likely uses more memory bandwidth, contributing to the 43.9 FPS result. The 40 RT cores and 320 tensor cores are present but do not appear to have a significant impact on the measured standard rasterization performance. The GPU’s 65th percentile ranking among all GPUs aligns with its mid-range status and the observed performance scaling.

Settings Recommendations

Based on the measured data, the optimal settings depend on the target resolution and frame rate preference.

For 1080p: The High preset at 194.3 FPS is the best choice for competitive play, as it provides excellent visual quality without sacrificing speed. The Ultra preset at 135.4 FPS is also viable for those who prioritize image quality, as it remains above 120 FPS.

For 1440p: The High preset at 121.7 FPS offers the best balance of visual fidelity and performance. The Medium preset at 135.3 FPS is a good alternative for slightly higher frame rates. The Ultra preset at 86.6 FPS is playable and suitable for slower, more tactical gameplay where visual detail matters more than raw speed.

For 4K: The Low preset at 79.5 FPS provides the smoothest experience, though it sacrifices visual quality. The High preset at 66.6 FPS is the recommended choice for a balance of detail and playability. The Ultra preset at 43.9 FPS should be avoided unless the player is comfortable with sub-60 FPS performance.

The data indicates that the High preset is the most versatile across all resolutions, offering 194.3 FPS at 1080p, 121.7 FPS at 1440p, and 66.6 FPS at 4K. This makes it the default recommendation for most players using this hardware combination.
