Resolution Scaling — how FPS drops from 1080p to 4K and what it says about the limiting component

The measured FPS data reveals a clear scaling pattern across resolutions. Starting with High settings, the average FPS at 1920x1080 is 187, which drops to 118 at 2560x1440, and further to 62 at 3840x2160. This represents a 36.9 percent drop from 1080p to 1440p, and a 66.8 percent drop from 1080p to 4K. The pattern is consistent across all settings presets.

For Low settings, the progression goes from 236 FPS at 1080p to 149 FPS at 1440p (a 36.9 percent drop) to 78 FPS at 4K (a 66.9 percent drop from 1080p). Medium settings show 206 FPS at 1080p, 130 at 1440p (36.9 percent drop), and 68 at 4K (67.0 percent drop). Ultra settings exhibit the most dramatic scaling: 132 FPS at 1080p, 83 at 1440p (37.1 percent drop), and 43 at 4K (67.4 percent drop).

The consistent percentage drops across all settings presets indicate that resolution scaling is primarily GPU-bound. The RTX 5050's 8 GB VRAM and 320.0 GB/s bandwidth are being stressed as pixel count increases, while the CPU's performance remains relatively constant. The fact that the FPS reduction from 1440p to 4K is proportionally similar to the reduction from 1080p to 1440p suggests the GPU is the limiting factor at higher resolutions, as the CPU has headroom to handle the game's logic at all three resolutions.

The gap between Low and Ultra settings widens with resolution. At 1080p, the difference between Low (236 FPS) and Ultra (132 FPS) is 104 FPS. At 1440p, the gap shrinks to 66 FPS (149 vs. 83). At 4K, the gap narrows further to 35 FPS (78 vs. 43). This narrowing indicates that at higher resolutions, the GPU's raw throughput becomes the dominant constraint, and settings changes have less relative impact on overall performance.

At 4K, Medium settings produce an average of 68 FPS with a minimum of 58 FPS and maximum of 78 FPS. The minimum frame rate of 58 FPS is close to the 60 FPS target, suggesting occasional dips but generally playable performance. The High preset at 4K yields 62 FPS average, which is lower than Medium, and Ultra drops significantly to 43 FPS.

For players prioritizing frame rate over visual quality, Low settings at 1080p provide the highest measured average of 236 FPS, making it ideal for competitive play or very high refresh rate displays. At 1440p, Low achieves 149 FPS, which still offers excellent smoothness. However, the Medium preset provides a more visually appealing experience with only a 30 FPS penalty at 1080p and a 19 FPS penalty at 1440p compared to Low.

Ultra settings are only recommended for 1080p displays, where 132 FPS average remains high. At 1440p, Ultra's 83 FPS is acceptable for most players, but at 4K, the 43 FPS average may not meet the smoothness expectations for a tactical shooter where quick reactions matter. The data suggests Medium is the optimal choice for a consistent experience across all resolutions, with High being a viable alternative for those wanting slightly better visuals.

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5050 uses the GB207 chip based on Blackwell 2.0 architecture, built on a 5 nm process at TSMC with 16,900 million transistors on a 149 mm² die. The GPU has a base clock of 2317 MHz and a boost clock of 2572 MHz, with memory running at 2500 MHz (20 Gbps effective). It features 8 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 128-bit bus, providing 320.0 GB/s of bandwidth.

The GPU's compute capabilities include 2560 shading units, 80 TMUs, and 32 ROPs, along with 20 RT cores and 80 tensor cores. Its pixel rate is 82.30 GPixel/s and texture rate is 205.8 GTexel/s, with FP32 performance at 13.17 TFLOPS. The card has a TDP of 130 W, uses a single 8-pin power connector, and suggests a 300 W power supply. It connected via PCIe 5.0 x8 and carries a launch MSRP of 249 USD.

In the context of Ready Or Not, the GPU's 8 GB VRAM and 320.0 GB/s bandwidth are crucial at higher resolutions. The measured data shows a significant performance drop from 1440p to 4K, indicating that memory bandwidth and capacity are being taxed at 4K. The GPU's 66th percentile ranking among all GPUs, with an average benchmark score of 21035, places it in a competitive position, though its nearest rivals include the AMD Radeon RX 5600 XT (1.6 percent faster) and the AMD Radeon RX Vega M GL (0.6 percent faster).

The boost clock of 2572 MHz helps maintain performance at lower resolutions, where the GPU can run at higher utilization without memory constraints. The 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 2502 and PassMark G3D score of 17326 indicate moderate performance levels. For Ready Or Not, the GPU demonstrates strong 1080p performance, with the 236 FPS average at Low settings showing the card's ability to handle high frame rates when not memory-limited.

At 4K Ultra, the 43 FPS average suggests the GPU's 8 GB VRAM and 128-bit memory bus are insufficient for the highest quality settings at that resolution. The substantial drop from High (62 FPS) to Ultra (43 FPS) indicates that Ultra settings likely exceed the memory capacity or bandwidth limits, causing a disproportionate performance penalty. The GPU's performance at 1440p Medium (130 FPS) shows it can handle modern game demands well when not pushed to extreme settings.
