Ready Or Not

Ready Or Not is a tactical shooter that stresses both precision aiming and system responsiveness, and the data for the AMD Ryzen 5 5600F with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 D shows a combo that is clearly overbuilt for the task at hand. The measured results are exceptionally high across all tested settings and resolutions, indicating that this pairing will not be the limiting factor for players. The analysis below interprets the measured FPS data to provide practical guidance on how to best utilize this hardware, focusing on resolution scaling, optimal settings, and the relative performance of the CPU and GPU.

Resolution Scaling

The FPS data reveals a predictable yet pronounced drop as resolution increases, which is the primary indicator of where the graphical workload is being handled. At 1080p, the combo operates at an extraordinarily high level, with average frame rates well above 300 FPS in every setting except Ultra. Moving to 2560x1440, there is a significant reduction in performance, and at 3840x2160, the frame rates, while still very high, show the most substantial scaling penalty. This pattern demonstrates that the RTX 5090 D's rendering load is scaling directly with pixel count, while the Ryzen 5 5600F's processing power is not the overarching bottleneck at these settings.

Specifically, comparing the High preset, the average FPS drops from 388 at 1920x1080 to 284 at 2560x1440, and further to 148 at 3840x2160. This represents a performance decrease of roughly 27% when moving from 1080p to 1440p, and a further 48% decrease when moving from 1440p to 4K. The scaling is not linear, which is typical for modern GPUs. The jump from 1440p to 4K is particularly steep, as the GPU must render over twice as many pixels. This suggests that at 4K, the RTX 5090 D is being fully utilized, and the results are a true reflection of its raw rendering power.

Conversely, the differences between resolutions at the Low setting are less dramatic in percentage terms but still significant. The average FPS goes from 420 at 1080p to 358 at 1440p and 187 at 4K. The fact that 1080p and 1440p scores are so close (420 vs 358) suggests that at lower resolutions, the CPU may be starting to play a more significant role in limiting the maximum achievable frame rate. The 5600F, with its 6 cores and 12 threads, is capable, but it cannot feed the RTX 5090 D fast enough to reach the same hundreds-of-FPS heights at 1080p as it can at higher resolutions. The data indicates the combo is most CPU-bound at 1080p, where the GPU has less work to do per frame.

Settings Recommendations

Given the immense power of this combo, the choice of settings is more about balancing visual fidelity against the desire for extremely high refresh rates, rather than a struggle to achieve playable performance. The data shows that the Ultra preset is the only one that brings the average frame rate below 200 FPS at 1440p and below 150 FPS at 4K. For a tactical shooter where smoothness and reaction time are critical, the Medium and High presets offer a better balance, providing a significant FPS boost over Ultra while likely still delivering a visually rich experience.

At 3840x2160, the High preset delivers an average of 148 FPS, which is already above the refresh rate of most high-end monitors. The Medium preset at this resolution offers 163 FPS, a 10% improvement over High. Given the minimal frame rate difference and the potential for better visual quality, High is the recommended starting point for 4K. If a player has a monitor with a 165Hz or 240Hz refresh rate, dropping to Medium could be a worthwhile trade-off to more consistently hit those higher refresh rates, as the data shows it provides a 15 FPS advantage.

For 2560x1440, the scenario is more relaxed. The High preset averages 284 FPS, and Medium is even higher at 312 FPS. These frame rates are well beyond the capabilities of most monitors, which typically top out at 240Hz or 360Hz. In this case, the Ultra preset, with its 199 FPS average, becomes a more viable option for those who prioritize maximum visual detail. It still delivers a very high frame rate that is smooth on a 144Hz or 165Hz display. The data suggests that at 1440p, players can comfortably enable Ultra settings without sacrificing the fluidity of the gameplay.

At 1920x1080, the sheer speed of this combo makes the settings choice almost purely about visual preference. Even the Ultra preset averages 316 FPS. The Medium and High presets are in the 388-400 FPS range, and Low hits 420 FPS. Since the difference between Low and High is only 32 FPS, while the visual difference is likely substantial, there is no practical reason to use Low or Medium settings at 1080p. The High preset offers an optimal combination of high frame rates and improved image quality, and Ultra is also a strong contender if the goal is to max out graphical fidelity, as it still maintains an average well above 300 FPS.

FAQ

Q: Is the AMD Ryzen 5 5600F a bottleneck for the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 D in this game?

A: The data indicates it can be a limiting factor at lower resolutions. At 1920x1080 with Low settings, the average FPS is 420, while at 2560x1440 with Low settings, it is 358. This smaller-than-expected gap for the GPU workload suggests the CPU is beginning to constrain the frame rate at 1080p, preventing the GPU from reaching its full potential. At higher resolutions like 4K, the GPU becomes the primary limiting factor, and the CPU has less of an impact.

Q: What is the best settings preset to use at 4K resolution?

A: Based on the measured data, the High preset is the most balanced choice at 3840x2160, yielding an average of 148 FPS. The Ultra preset drops to 104 FPS, which is a significant performance hit for a marginal visual gain. If you have a monitor with a higher refresh rate, the Medium preset at 163 FPS is a good alternative that ensures you are getting the most out of the display's capabilities.

Q: How does the combo perform at 1440p for competitive play?

A: Extremely well. Even at the Ultra preset, the average FPS is 199, which is more than sufficient for a high-refresh-rate monitor. For the absolute highest frame rates, the Medium and High presets deliver 312 and 284 FPS respectively. This provides a wide range of options to either maximize visual quality or competitive advantage.

Q: Is the RTX 5090 D's 32 GB of memory ever a concern at the tested settings?

A: The measured FPS data does not show any indication of performance degradation or stuttering that would suggest a memory capacity issue.

This indicates that the Ultra preset has a substantial additional rendering cost, which may not be worth it if you prioritize frame rate over maximum graphical fidelity.

How This Combo Ranks

The benchmark data places this specific combination of the AMD Ryzen 5 5600F and the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 D in a high percentile of all tested combinations. The comboRankInGame field shows a rank of 116 out of 2947 total combos. This puts it in the top 4% of all tested systems, a position that reflects the sheer power of the RTX 5090 D graphics card. This high ranking is primarily driven by the GPU's exceptional performance, even when paired with a more modest, mid-range CPU like the Ryzen 5 5600F.

The ranking confirms the fact that in a game like Ready Or Not, the graphics card is the dominant factor in determining overall frame rates, especially at higher resolutions. While a more powerful CPU might have pushed the combo even higher in the rankings by alleviating the bottleneck seen at 1080p, the overall performance is already exceptional. The rank of 116 signifies that this system outperforms the vast majority of other configurations that have been benchmarked, making it a top-tier choice for this game. The data strongly suggests that for most players, this combination will provide a flawless high-refresh-rate experience, and the ranking validates its position as a high-performance pairing.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 5 5600F is a 6-core, 12-thread processor based on the Zen 3 architecture, running on the AMD Socket AM4 platform. Its base clock is 3.00 GHz, with a boost clock of 4.00 GHz. This specification, while not the most powerful on the market, is more than sufficient to deliver the high frame rates observed in the data. The CPU's role in this combo is to feed the RTX 5090 D with draw calls and game data; the benchmark results show it performs this task ably, particularly at higher resolutions where the GPU's rendering time is longer.

The data reveals the CPU's influence most clearly at 1920x1080. The average FPS at Low settings is 420, compared to 358 at 2560x1440. The fact that there is not a much larger difference between these two resolutions suggests that the CPU is reaching its limit in how many frames it can prepare, preventing the GPU from achieving even higher frame rates at 1080p. This is a classic sign of a CPU bottleneck at low resolution. The 5600F's 32 MB of shared L3 cache is likely a contributing factor to its solid performance, helping to keep game data close at hand for the cores.

However, as the resolution increases to 4K, the workload shifts heavily onto the GPU. The CPU's job becomes relatively easier, as the GPU takes much longer to render each frame. This is why the drop from 1440p to 4K is so steep (from 358 to 187 FPS at Low settings), as it is a pure reflection of the GPU's rendering capabilities. In summary, the Ryzen 5 5600F is a capable partner that provides enough processing power for high-refresh-rate gaming, but the data indicates it is the primary factor preventing the system from reaching its absolute maximum potential at 1080p.
