Ready Or Not

How This Combo Ranks

The AMD Ryzen 5 5600 and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER combination ranks 333rd out of 1748 tested combos in Ready Or Not. That places it comfortably in the top fifth of all systems tested, a strong result for a pairing that leans heavily on the GPU's raw horsepower.

The ranking becomes more impressive when you consider the CPU's position in the broader market. The Ryzen 5 5600 sits at the 79th percentile among all CPUs, while the RTX 4070 SUPER reaches the 84th percentile among all GPUs. The combo outperforms its individual component percentiles suggest, which indicates the pairing works efficiently together in this specific tactical shooter. In practical terms, this is a system that will not leave you wishing for more hardware at standard monitor refresh rates.

GPU Role

The RTX 4070 SUPER carries the bulk of the workload in Ready Or Not, and its specifications reflect a card built for high-refresh gaming. The GPU features 12 GB of GDDR6X memory on a 192-bit bus, delivering 504.2 GB/s of bandwidth. That memory configuration proves sufficient for this game's texture-heavy environments, even at 4K where the data shows only modest frame rate penalties.

Clock speeds are equally important here. The card boosts to 2475 MHz from a 1980 MHz base, and the benchmark results confirm that headroom translates into real performance. At 1080p High settings, the combo produces 322.2 FPS average, which is far beyond what any current display can show. The GPU's 56 RT cores and 224 tensor cores also matter for a game like Ready Or Not, which uses modern rendering features that leverage these dedicated units.

The card's overall benchmark profile places it just 0.2% behind the NVIDIA RTX A6000 in average score, and 0.3% behind the AMD Radeon RX 7650 GRE. That puts it in elite company, and the measured results in this game reinforce that standing. The 35.48 TFLOPS of FP32 performance drives the high frame rates seen across all resolutions.

Resolution Scaling

The measured data reveals how the system scales across resolutions, and the pattern tells a clear story about which component limits performance. At 1080p High settings, the combo delivers 322.2 FPS. Moving to 1440p High drops that to 206.3 FPS, a 36% reduction. At 4K High, the average falls to 104.5 FPS, which is 68% below the 1080p figure.

Those drops are substantial, but they are not catastrophic. The frame rate remains playable at every resolution and setting combination tested. The scaling pattern suggests the GPU becomes the limiting factor as resolution increases, which is expected given the RTX 4070 SUPER's strong compute capabilities. The CPU has enough headroom at lower resolutions to feed the GPU, but the gap between 1080p and 4K performance is primarily a GPU limitation.

The Ultra settings results reinforce this interpretation. At 1080p Ultra, the combo produces 229 FPS, while 4K Ultra drops to 75.2 FPS. That is a 67% reduction, nearly identical to the High settings scaling. When the gap between resolution tiers remains consistent across quality presets, it points to the GPU as the bottleneck at higher pixel counts.

FAQ

Q: Is this combo sufficient for 4K gaming in Ready Or Not?

A: Yes, but with caveats. At 4K High settings, the average is 104.5 FPS, which is smooth on most displays. However, 4K Ultra drops to 75.2 FPS, so you may need to adjust settings for maximum quality.

Q: How does the Ryzen 5 5600 perform relative to similar CPUs?

A: The CPU scores 0.6% higher than the Intel Xeon D-1746TER and 0.9% higher than the Intel Core i7-11700F. It trails the AMD EPYC 9554P and EPYC 9534 by 0.6% each.

Q: What frame rates can I expect at 1440p with this combo?

A: At 1440p Low, the average is 256.5 FPS. Medium produces 224.8 FPS, High produces 206.3 FPS, and Ultra produces 145.3 FPS. All are well above the 144Hz threshold.

Q: Does the CPU bottleneck the GPU at 1080p?

A: The data does not suggest a significant bottleneck. At 1080p Low, the combo achieves 408.6 FPS, and even at Ultra it holds 229 FPS. The CPU's single-thread score of 882 in 3DMark appears adequate for this game's engine.

Q: How does the RTX 4070 SUPER compare to its nearest rivals?

A: It scores 0.2% lower than the NVIDIA RTX A6000 and 0.3% lower than the AMD Radeon RX 7650 GRE. It outperforms the AMD Radeon Pro 580X by 1.4% and the NVIDIA Tesla M40 by 1.6%.

Q: What is the best settings preset for competitive play?

A: If raw frame rate matters most, 1080p Low delivers 408.6 FPS. For a balance of visuals and performance, 1440p Medium at 224.8 FPS is a strong choice.

Measured FPS Breakdown

1920x1080 (Full HD):

• Low: 408.6 FPS average
• Medium: 359.1 FPS average
• High: 322.2 FPS average
• Ultra: 229 FPS average

2560x1440 (Quad HD):

• Low: 256.5 FPS average
• Medium: 224.8 FPS average
• High: 206.3 FPS average
• Ultra: 145.3 FPS average

3840x2160 (4K UHD):

• Low: 134.5 FPS average
• Medium: 119.1 FPS average
• High: 104.5 FPS average
• Ultra: 75.2 FPS average

The pattern across all three resolutions shows a consistent drop when moving from Low to Ultra settings. At 1080p, the gap between Low and Ultra is 179.6 FPS. At 1440p, that gap narrows to 111.2 FPS. At 4K, it shrinks further to 59.3 FPS. This narrowing indicates that at higher resolutions, the GPU's workload grows so large that quality presets have relatively less impact on the final frame rate.

The minimum and maximum frame rates are not provided in the data, so these averages represent the full picture available. For a tactical shooter like Ready Or Not, where quick target acquisition matters, the 4K High result of 104.5 FPS remains smooth, while 1440p and 1080p results provide ample headroom for high-refresh monitors.

CPU Role

The Ryzen 5 5600 provides the foundation for this combo, and its specifications explain why it does not hold the system back. With 6 cores and 12 threads based on the Zen 3 architecture, the CPU runs at a 3.50 GHz base clock and boosts to 4.40 GHz. The 32 MB of shared L3 cache helps keep data flowing to the GPU without stalling.

Single-thread performance is particularly relevant for Ready Or Not, which relies on a few heavily loaded threads. The CPU's 3DMark single-thread score of 882 and Cinebench R23 single-core score of 2584 indicate strong per-core performance. Multi-threaded results are equally solid, with a Cinebench R23 multicore score of 18309 and a Passmark multithread score of 21541.

The CPU's position in the market reinforces its capability. It sits at the 79th percentile among all CPUs and has an average benchmark score of 21765. Its nearest rival, the Intel Core i7-11700F, scores 21957, a difference of just 0.9%. This means the Ryzen 5 5600 is competitive with modern desktop processors despite being from an older generation.

The 65W TDP and dual-channel DDR4 memory support keep the platform simple, and the 51.2 GB/s memory bandwidth is sufficient for this game. The CPU's PCIe Gen 4 support with 20 lanes provides full bandwidth to the RTX 4070 SUPER. In Ready Or Not, the measured frame rates show no sign of CPU limitation, as even at 1080p Low the combo reaches 408.6 FPS, a figure that would stress most processors.
