Ready Or Not

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

The AMD Ryzen 5 5600 is a 6-core, 12-thread processor built on the Zen 3 architecture (Vermeer codename) using TSMC's 7 nm process. It operates with a base clock of 3.50 GHz and a boost clock of 4.40 GHz, with a 65 W TDP. The CPU has 32 MB of shared L3 cache and 512 KB of L2 cache per core, along with 64 KB of L1 per core. It supports dual-channel DDR4 memory with a bandwidth of 51.2 GB/s.

In synthetic benchmarks, the Ryzen 5 5600 shows strong single-thread performance relative to its multi-thread capability. Its 3DMark single-thread score of 882 and Cinebench R23 single-core score of 2584 indicate solid per-core efficiency, which matters for Ready Or Not's AI-driven tactical encounters where individual core loads can spike. The multi-threaded results—Cinebench R23 multicore at 18309 and PassMark multithread at 21541—demonstrate that the 6-core/12-thread configuration handles the game's background simulation threads without becoming a bottleneck.

The CPU's PassMark physics score of 1285 and floating-point math score of 38778 are directly relevant to the game's physics interactions, such as door breaching, ballistic penetration, and environmental destruction. At 1080p with Low settings, the combo achieves 303.1 FPS, which strongly suggests the CPU is not limiting frame delivery at lower graphical loads. The data shows the processor sits in the 79th percentile of all CPUs by average benchmark score, with an average benchmark score of 21765.

The nearest rival, the Intel Core i7-11700F, has an average score of 21957, placing the Ryzen 5 5600 just 0.9% behind it. The AMD EPYC 9554P and EPYC 9534 both score 21899 and 21900 respectively, each showing a 0.6% delta in favor of the server parts. The Intel Xeon D-1746TER scores 21635, which is 0.6% below the Ryzen 5 5600. These margins are negligible for gaming workloads, confirming the CPU's adequacy for Ready Or Not.

How This Combo Ranks

The combination of the AMD Ryzen 5 5600 with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 ranks 819th out of 1748 tested combos in Ready Or Not, placing it in the upper-middle portion of the database. This rank reflects the balance between the CPU's 79th percentile standing and the GPU's 72nd percentile standing. The measured frame rates across all resolution and setting combinations indicate that the pairing delivers playable performance even at 4K Ultra.

At 1080p, the combo ranks well above average due to the high frame rates achieved—239.9 FPS at High settings and 171.9 FPS at Ultra. These numbers position the combo within the top tier for competitive or high-refresh-rate play. However, the rank of 819 out of 1748 suggests that many combos with newer hardware achieve higher frame rates, particularly at higher resolutions where the GPU becomes the dominant factor.

The combo's performance in Ready Or Not is consistent with the hardware's synthetic benchmark standings. The RTX 3070's average benchmark score of 28238 places it in the 72nd percentile of all GPUs, with the AMD Radeon RX 6600 XT being the closest rival at 27985 (0.9% behind). The frame rate data shows the combo scales appropriately with resolution, but the rank indicates that other tested configurations—likely with higher-tier CPUs or GPUs—deliver better absolute performance.

Resolution Scaling

The measured FPS data reveals clear scaling patterns across resolutions. At 1080p Low, the combo achieves 303.1 FPS, which drops to 193 FPS at 1440p Low and further to 97.3 FPS at 4K Low. This represents a 67.9% reduction from 1080p to 1440p and a 67.9% reduction from 1440p to 4K for Low settings. These large drops indicate that the GPU is the primary limiting factor at higher resolutions, as the CPU can maintain high frame throughput but the GPU's rendering capacity diminishes.

For High settings, the progression is 239.9 FPS at 1080p, 152 FPS at 1440p, and 77.9 FPS at 4K. The percentage drops are 36.6% from 1080p to 1440p and 48.7% from 1440p to 4K. The Ultra settings show the most dramatic scaling: 171.9 FPS at 1080p, 105.8 FPS at 1440p, and 57.3 FPS at 4K. The 4K Ultra result of 57.3 FPS is the lowest measured value, and it indicates that the RTX 3070's 8 GB of GDDR6 memory and 448.0 GB/s bandwidth are being taxed heavily at this configuration.

The data suggests that at 1080p, the CPU is a co-limiting factor with the GPU, as the FPS values approach the CPU's maximum frame generation capability. The 303.1 FPS at 1080p Low is close to the CPU's single-thread ceiling, while the 239.9 FPS at 1080p High shows less CPU overhead. At 1440p and 4K, the GPU becomes the clear bottleneck, with FPS dropping proportionally to the pixel count increase. The 4K Ultra result of 57.3 FPS is 76.3% lower than the 1080p Low result, highlighting the GPU's diminishing capability at extreme resolutions.

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

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 is built on the Ampere architecture with a GA104 chip fabricated on Samsung's 8 nm process. It contains 17,400 million transistors on a 392 mm² die, with a base clock of 1500 MHz and a boost clock of 1725 MHz. The memory subsystem consists of 8 GB of GDDR6 on a 256-bit bus, providing 448.0 GB/s of bandwidth. The GPU has 5888 shading units, 184 texture mapping units, and 96 raster operation units, along with 46 ray tracing cores and 184 tensor cores.

The GPU's pixel rate of 165.6 GPixel/s and texture rate of 317.4 GTexel/s directly influence Ready Or Not's rendering of detailed environments, character models, and lighting effects. The FP32 performance of 20.31 TFLOPS provides the computational headroom for the game's shader complexity and post-processing effects. The 8 GB VRAM capacity is adequate for the game's requirements at tested resolutions, as evidenced by the absence of catastrophic FPS drops at 4K Ultra (57.3 FPS) compared to 4K High (77.9 FPS).

In synthetic benchmarks, the RTX 3070's PassMark G3D score of 22214 and Geekbench OpenCL score of 123479 demonstrate its compute capabilities. The 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 3162 reflects modern API performance. The GPU's average benchmark score of 28238 places it in the 72nd percentile of all GPUs, with the AMD Radeon RX 6600 XT trailing by 0.9% and the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 980 Ti trailing by 1%. The AMD FirePro S7150 is 0.6% ahead, and the AMD Radeon R9 M295X is 1.1% ahead.

The measured FPS data shows that the RTX 3070 handles the game's graphical load well at 1080p and 1440p, with results above 105 FPS even at Ultra settings for both resolutions. At 4K, the GPU's limitations become apparent: the difference between Low (97.3 FPS) and Ultra (57.3 FPS) is a 41.1% reduction, indicating that the GPU's rasterization and memory bandwidth are stretched at higher settings. The 8 GB VRAM and 448.0 GB/s bandwidth are sufficient for the game's textures at 1440p, but at 4K Ultra, the GPU approaches its performance ceiling. The data indicates that the RTX 3070 is a capable mid-to-high-end GPU for Ready Or Not, with strong performance at mainstream resolutions and playable but less impressive results at 4K.
