Ready Or Not

# Ready Or Not with AMD Ryzen 5 5600G + NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070

The AMD Ryzen 5 5600G paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 produces a fascinating performance profile in Ready Or Not, a tactical shooter that clearly favors high frame rates. This combination ranks 470th out of 1,748 tested combos, placing it in the top 27% of all tested system configurations. The data reveals a system that is overwhelmingly GPU-bound at higher resolutions, yet becomes increasingly CPU-sensitive as resolution drops, creating a nuanced picture for anyone considering this pairing.

Resolution Scaling

The scaling behavior from 1080p to 4K tells a clear story about where the bottleneck lies in this system. At 1080p with High settings, the combo delivers 288.7 FPS, which drops to 186 FPS at 1440p (a 35.6% reduction) and further to 94.9 FPS at 4K (a 67.1% reduction from 1080p). This steep decline pattern indicates that the RTX 4070 is the primary limiting factor at higher resolutions, as the frame rate drops proportionally with pixel count.

However, examining the Low settings data reveals a different dynamic. At 1080p Low, the system reaches 368.8 FPS, but this only drops to 231 FPS at 1440p and 121.9 FPS at 4K. The 1080p-to-1440p drop of 37.4% is similar to the High settings pattern, but the 4K result suggests the CPU begins to assert influence at extreme frame rates. The Ryzen 5 5600G, with its 6 cores and 12 threads running at a 3.90 GHz base and 4.40 GHz boost clock, appears capable of feeding the GPU up to roughly 370 FPS, after which the CPU becomes the constraining factor.

The most telling comparison comes from the Ultra settings data. At 1080p Ultra, the system manages 203.1 FPS; at 1440p Ultra, it drops to 131.8 FPS (35.1% reduction); and at 4K Ultra, it falls to 65.6 FPS (67.7% reduction from 1080p). This consistent ~35% drop between 1080p and 1440p, followed by another ~50% drop between 1440p and 4K, strongly suggests the GPU is the limiting component throughout the Ultra settings range. The RTX 4070's 12 GB of GDDR6X memory on a 192-bit bus with 504.2 GB/s bandwidth handles the data throughput, but the rendering load at 4K Ultra simply overwhelms the 5 nm Ada Lovelace architecture.

Settings Recommendations

For 4K gaming, the High preset at 94.9 FPS represents the optimal balance between visual quality and performance. The Ultra preset at 65.6 FPS is playable but leaves little headroom for demanding scenes, while Medium at 102.8 FPS offers nearly identical performance to High with reduced visual fidelity. The data suggests High is the sweet spot at 4K, providing a 44.7% improvement over Ultra while maintaining a smooth frame rate.

At 1440p, the High preset at 186 FPS is the clear recommendation. It offers 41.1% more performance than Ultra (131.8 FPS) while delivering near-maximum visual quality. For competitive play, Low at 231 FPS provides maximum frame rates, but the 19.5% improvement over High (186 FPS) may not justify the visual downgrade for most players. Medium at 204.9 FPS sits between these options, offering 10.2% more performance than High with moderate visual compromises.

For 1080p gaming, the High preset at 288.7 FPS is recommended for general play. The Ultra preset at 203.1 FPS still provides excellent performance and could be used for maximum visual fidelity. Low at 368.8 FPS and Medium at 319.7 FPS are only useful for competitive scenarios where every frame counts, as the visual quality loss is substantial relative to the performance gains. The 1080p results show this system has ample headroom for high-refresh-rate displays at 144Hz or 165Hz with High settings.
