GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 is built on the Ada Lovelace architecture with an AD103 chip manufactured on a 5 nm process at TSMC. The GPU's role in Ready or Not becomes clear when examining the measured FPS across settings tiers. At 4K, the difference between Low and Ultra settings is substantial: 155 FPS average on Low versus 86 FPS on Ultra, a 69 FPS gap that demonstrates the GPU's workload scaling with graphical fidelity.

The card's base clock of 2205 MHz boosts to 2505 MHz, and with 9,728 shading units, 304 texture mapping units, and 112 ROPs, the RTX 4080 delivers 48.74 TFLOPS of FP32 compute. The 16 GB GDDR6X memory operates at 22.4 Gbps effective, producing 716.8 GB/s of bandwidth across a 256-bit interface. These specifications translate to pixel rates of 280.6 GPixel/s and texture rates of 761.5 GTexel/s.

In Ready or Not, the GPU's ray tracing cores (76 RT cores) and tensor cores (304) support the game's visual effects, though the benchmark data focuses on rasterization performance. The measured frames at Medium settings provide the only complete min/max data points: at 1080p Medium, the range spans 340 to 461 FPS, while at 1440p Medium it spans 220 to 297 FPS, and at 4K Medium 115 to 155 FPS. These ranges indicate the GPU maintains consistent frame delivery even when the scene complexity varies.

The RTX 4080's percentile ranking of 86th among all GPUs, combined with its average benchmark score of 54,247, positions it as a high-end part. Its nearest rival, the RTX 4080 SUPER, scores nearly identically at 54,209 (0.1% delta), suggesting the non-SUPER variant offers essentially the same performance level in synthetic tests. The card's production status is listed as end-of-life, with the GeForce 50 series as its successor.

Resolution Scaling

The FPS progression from 1080p to 4K reveals how the system's bottleneck shifts as resolution increases. At 1080p High, the combo achieves 372 FPS average; at 1440p High, it drops to 235 FPS; and at 4K High, it falls to 123 FPS. This pattern shows a 47% reduction from 1080p to 1440p and another 48% reduction from 1440p to 4K.

Examining Low settings: 420 FPS at 1080p, 296 FPS at 1440p, and 155 FPS at 4K. The scaling factor from 1080p to 4K is approximately 2.7x fewer frames, which closely tracks the pixel count increase from 2.07 million to 8.29 million pixels. This linear relationship indicates the GPU is the primary limiting component at higher resolutions, as the workload scales predictably with pixel throughput.

At Ultra settings, the drop is steeper in relative terms: 261 FPS at 1080p, 165 FPS at 1440p, and 86 FPS at 4K. The 1080p to 4K reduction of 67% suggests that at the highest preset, the GPU's shading and memory bandwidth resources are heavily taxed. The Medium settings data shows the most complete picture with min/max ranges: at 1080p, the range is 340-461 FPS; at 1440p, 220-297 FPS; and at 4K, 115-155 FPS. The narrowing of the min-max spread relative to the average at 4K (115-155 versus 135 average) indicates more consistent frame pacing at higher resolutions.

At 1080p, the extremely high frame rates (372-420 FPS depending on settings) suggest the CPU may begin to limit performance, as the Ryzen 5 5600F's 6 cores and 12 threads at up to 4.00 GHz boost clock could struggle to feed the GPU at such elevated frame rates. The data shows the combo still delivers playable performance at all resolutions, with even 4K Ultra maintaining an 86 FPS average.

Settings Recommendations

The measured data provides clear guidance on preset selection for this combo. At 4K, Medium settings deliver 135 FPS average with a minimum of 115 FPS and maximum of 155 FPS, representing the best balance of visual quality and performance headroom. The jump from Medium to High at 4K costs 12 FPS (135 to 123), while Ultra costs 49 FPS from Medium (135 to 86), making Ultra less attractive unless maximum fidelity is prioritized over frame rate stability.

At 1440p, Medium settings achieve 258 FPS average (220-297 range), while High reaches 235 FPS and Ultra drops to 165 FPS. The Medium preset at 1440p provides enough headroom above 240 Hz displays, making it the recommended choice for high-refresh-rate monitors. For 1080p users, even Ultra settings deliver 261 FPS average, so the best experience depends on whether the display can take advantage of the higher frame rates available at Medium (400 FPS) or Low (420 FPS).

The data implies that Medium settings offer the most efficient performance-per-visual-quality tradeoff across all three resolutions. At 4K Medium, the 115 FPS minimum ensures smooth gameplay even in demanding scenes, while at 1440p Medium, the 220 FPS minimum keeps frame times well below 5 milliseconds. For competitive play at 1080p, Low settings at 420 FPS average provide the maximum responsiveness, though the difference from Medium's 400 FPS average is marginal (5%).

Ultra settings should be reserved for scenarios where visual fidelity takes precedence, such as single-player immersion at 1440p where 165 FPS still exceeds most display refresh rates. At 4K Ultra, the 86 FPS average remains playable but offers less headroom for frame rate dips during intense firefights or smoke effects.

The Medium settings rows are the only ones with complete min/max data, providing insight into frame time consistency. At 1080p Medium, the 340-461 FPS range shows a 121 FPS spread, indicating significant scene-to-scene variability. At 1440p Medium, the spread narrows to 77 FPS (220-297), and at 4K Medium, it narrows further to 40 FPS (115-155). This pattern suggests that as resolution increases, the GPU becomes more consistently saturated, reducing the relative impact of scene complexity on frame rate.

The data also reveals that doubling resolution from 1080p to 1440p reduces average FPS by roughly 35-40% across settings, while going from 1440p to 4K reduces it by another 45-50%. This non-linear scaling reflects the GPU's memory bandwidth (716.8 GB/s) and pixel fill rate (280.6 GPixel/s) becoming increasingly stressed at higher pixel counts.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 5 5600F provides 6 cores and 12 threads based on the Zen 3 architecture (Vermeer codename) on a 7 nm process at TSMC. With a base clock of 3.00 GHz and boost clock of 4.00 GHz, this CPU handles the game logic, AI processing, and physics calculations in Ready or Not, a tactical shooter where many NPCs and dynamic scenarios can stress CPU throughput.

The CPU's cache hierarchy includes 64 KB L1 per core, 512 KB L2 per core, and 32 MB of shared L3 cache, providing 51.2 GB/s of dual-channel DDR4 memory bandwidth. In synthetic benchmarks, the CPU scores 19,236 in Passmark multithread, 2,872 in single-thread, and 120 in find prime numbers, with the multithread score indicating strong parallel processing capability for its core count.

The 5000-series processor's 65 W TDP and socket AM4 compatibility make it a straightforward pairing for the RTX 4080, though the GPU's 320 W TDP and 700 W suggested PSU mean the total system power draw is substantial. The CPU's 85th percentile ranking among all CPUs, with an average benchmark score of 36,945, places it in the upper tier of processors tested.

In Ready or Not, the CPU's role appears most critical at 1080p where frame rates exceed 372 FPS on High settings. At such high frame rates, the CPU's single-thread performance (2,872 Passmark score) becomes a potential limiting factor, as the game's main thread must issue draw calls and process input within tight frame time budgets. The 4.00 GHz boost clock helps maintain responsiveness, but the 6-core/12-thread configuration may cap performance at the very highest frame rates.

At 4K, the CPU's workload diminishes relative to the GPU's, as the measured FPS drops to 86-155 range where the GPU's pixel processing dominates. The CPU's 32 MB L3 cache helps keep frequently accessed game data close to the cores, reducing memory latency that could otherwise impact frame pacing. The data shows the combo maintains playable performance across all tested configurations, confirming the 5600F provides adequate CPU throughput for this game even when paired with a high-end GPU like the RTX 4080.
