Ready Or Not

This analysis covers the AMD Ryzen 5 5600G paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 in Ready Or Not, a tactical shooter released on 2021-12-16. The measured FPS data spans three resolutions (1920x1080, 2560x1440, 3840x2160) and four quality presets (Low, Medium, High, Ultra), with all values taken from direct measurement. The combination ranks 542nd out of 1,748 tested combos, placing it in the upper third of systems evaluated for this title.

How This Combo Ranks

The combo’s overall rank of 542 out of 1,748 tested combinations means it outperforms 1,206 other CPU-GPU pairings in Ready Or Not. This places it in the 69th percentile of tested systems, a solid result for a mid-range CPU paired with a high-end GPU. The individual components support this standing: the Ryzen 5 5600G sits at the 78th percentile among all CPUs, while the RTX 3080 reaches the 80th percentile among all GPUs. The CPU’s average benchmark score of 19,983 is nearly identical to its nearest rivals—the Intel Core i7-11600H (19,949, +0.2%), Intel Core i7-11800H (20,024, -0.2%), AMD EPYC 7713P (20,024, -0.2%), and AMD Ryzen Threadripper PRO 5995WX (19,928, +0.3%). The GPU’s average score of 35,787 similarly sits within 1% of the AMD Radeon Pro Duo (35,860, -0.2%), AMD Radeon 880M (35,646, +0.4%), AMD Radeon RX 7900 GRE (36,101, -0.9%), and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti Mobile (35,435, +1%). These tight deltas indicate that the combo’s performance is well balanced relative to its component peers.

GPU Role

The RTX 3080 brings 10 GB of GDDR6X memory on a 320-bit bus, delivering 760.3 GB/s of bandwidth. Its base clock is 1440 MHz, boosting to 1710 MHz, with memory running at 1188 MHz (19 Gbps effective). The GPU’s PassMark G3D score of 25,086 and its 80th percentile ranking confirm it as a high-tier part. In Ready Or Not, the GPU’s influence is most visible at higher resolutions and quality presets. At 4K, the average FPS drops from 118.8 on Low to 66.2 on Ultra—a 44% reduction—while at 1080p the same preset change only reduces FPS from 354.8 to 195.7, a 45% drop. This consistent scaling across resolutions indicates that the GPU is the primary driver of frame rate when settings are increased, especially at 4K where the pixel load is highest. The 10 GB VRAM is sufficient for this title, as no memory-related stutters or anomalies appear in the measured data.

Resolution Scaling

The FPS progression from 1080p to 4K reveals where the bottleneck shifts. At Low settings, the average FPS goes from 354.8 at 1080p to 222.1 at 1440p and 118.8 at 4K. The ratio from 1080p to 4K is 2.99x (354.8 / 118.8), which is less than the 4x pixel count increase. This suggests that at 1080p, the CPU is partially limiting performance, preventing the GPU from reaching its full potential. At High settings, the same ratio is 3.10x (281.5 / 90.7), again below 4x. At 4K, the GPU becomes the clear limiter, as the frame rate scales almost linearly with the pixel count when moving from 1440p to 4K: for High, 174.5 to 90.7 is a 48% drop, close to the 50% expected from doubling pixel count. The data indicates that the Ryzen 5 5600G can push high frame rates at 1080p, but the RTX 3080 is the dominant factor at 1440p and 4K.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The following table lists all measured average FPS values:

| Resolution | Low | Medium | High | Ultra |

|------------|-----|--------|------|-------|

| 1920x1080 | 354.8 | 308.1 | 281.5 | 195.7 |

| 2560x1440 | 222.1 | 194.4 | 174.5 | 126.0 |

| 3840x2160 | 118.8 | 100.9 | 90.7 | 66.2 |

At 1080p, even the Ultra preset maintains 195.7 FPS, making the combo capable of driving high-refresh monitors. The 1440p results are similarly strong: Ultra averages 126.0 FPS, while High reaches 174.5. At 4K, the picture changes—Ultra drops to 66.2 FPS, which is still playable but noticeably lower than the 90.7 FPS of High. The gap between Low and Ultra at 4K is 52.6 FPS (118.8 vs 66.2), showing that the GPU’s headroom is consumed by the highest settings.

CPU Role

The Ryzen 5 5600G is a 6-core, 12-thread processor based on Zen 3 (Cezanne) architecture, fabricated on TSMC’s 7 nm process. It runs at a base clock of 3.90 GHz and boosts to 4.40 GHz, with a TDP of 65 W. The CPU has 16 MB of L3 cache and supports dual-channel DDR4 memory with 51.2 GB/s bandwidth. Its benchmark results are respectable: Cinebench R23 multicore scores 16,758, single-core 2,365; Geekbench multicore 7,693, single-core 1,933; PassMark multithread 19,717, single-thread 3,177. The CPU’s 78th percentile ranking and its near-identical scores to the i7-11600H and i7-11800H indicate it is a capable mid-range part. In Ready Or Not, the CPU’s impact is most evident at 1080p Low, where the 354.8 FPS average suggests the processor can feed the GPU well beyond typical refresh rates. However, at 4K, the CPU is not the limiting factor—the GPU’s rendering load dominates. The 6-core/12-thread configuration is sufficient for this tactical shooter, which does not appear to require more than a dozen threads based on the measured performance.

Settings Recommendations

The measured FPS data provides clear guidance for each resolution. At 4K, the Ultra preset yields 66.2 FPS, which is playable but leaves little headroom for demanding scenes. The High preset delivers 90.7 FPS, a 27% improvement over Ultra, while Medium reaches 100.9 FPS and Low 118.8 FPS. For a smooth 4K experience, High is the recommended preset—it stays above 90 FPS and offers a substantial visual upgrade over Medium. At 1440p, Ultra averages 126.0 FPS, which is well above the 60 FPS threshold and suitable for high-refresh displays; High at 174.5 FPS is even better for competitive play. At 1080p, all presets exceed 195 FPS, so players can choose Ultra without sacrificing frame rate. The data shows that the combo is best utilized at 1440p with Ultra settings, where it balances visual fidelity and performance, while 4K users should opt for High to maintain a consistent 90+ FPS experience.
