Ready Or Not

Ready Or Not is a tactical shooter that leans heavily on CPU processing for its AI-driven squad encounters and environmental interactions, and the AMD Ryzen 5 7400F is well-suited for this task. With 6 cores and 12 threads based on the Zen 4 architecture, this processor operates at a base clock of 3.70 GHz and a boost clock of 4.70 GHz. The data shows that this CPU configuration, when paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 D, produces exceptionally high frame rates across all tested resolutions, indicating that the processor's single-thread performance is more than adequate to feed the GPU. The Ryzen 5 7400F's 32 MB of shared L3 cache helps reduce latency in game logic, and its 83.2 GB/s of memory bandwidth ensures data flows efficiently to the rest of the system. In synthetic benchmarks, the CPU achieves a Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 21765 and a single-core score of 3072, numbers that place it in the 83rd percentile of all CPUs, showing it is a capable mid-range part that does not bottleneck the flagship GPU in this title.

Settings Recommendations

The measured data provides a clear picture of how the game scales with visual fidelity, and the best experience depends on the user's display refresh rate. At 1080p, the Ultra preset delivers an average of 316 FPS, which is already extraordinarily high and suitable for any high-refresh-rate monitor. However, the Medium preset at 1080p yields an average of 494 FPS, representing a massive 56% uplift over Ultra, which is beneficial for competitive play on 360Hz or 500Hz displays. The Low preset pushes this further to 551 FPS, but the visual fidelity loss in a tactical shooter where spotting enemies is crucial makes this a less appealing trade-off. For most users with a standard 144Hz or 240Hz monitor at 1080p, the High preset at 449 FPS is the sweet spot, offering a substantial visual upgrade over Medium while still providing more than triple the refresh rate of the display.

At 1440p, the High preset produces an average of 284 FPS, which is ideal for high-refresh-rate 1440p panels and remains the recommended setting for balancing clarity and performance. The Medium preset at 312 FPS offers a marginal 10% improvement over High, but the reduction in shadow and texture quality is noticeable in a game that relies on environmental readability. The Ultra preset at 199 FPS is still remarkably smooth, but the performance cost is steep; it represents a 30% drop from High, making it a choice only for those who prioritize maximum visual fidelity over frame rate headroom. For 4K gaming, the High preset at 148 FPS is the clear recommendation, as it comfortably exceeds the 120Hz threshold for most modern displays while maintaining high-quality assets. The Medium preset at 163 FPS offers a modest 10% uplift, but the Ultra preset at 104 FPS is the only option that dips below 120 FPS, indicating that it should be avoided for smooth 4K gameplay. Ultimately, the data suggests that High settings provide the most balanced experience at every resolution, delivering frame rates that are never below 148 FPS and often far higher.

Resolution Scaling

The frame rate scaling from 1080p to 4K reveals a classic pattern of GPU-bound behavior, but with an interesting twist given the sheer power of the RTX 5090 D. Moving from 1920x1080 High (449 FPS) to 2560x1440 High (284 FPS) results in a 37% performance drop, which is a significant decrease that indicates the GPU is working much harder at the higher pixel count. The transition from 1440p High to 3840x2160 High (148 FPS) shows a further 48% drop, demonstrating that 4K resolution demands substantially more from the GPU's rendering pipeline. This scaling pattern is consistent across all settings, with the Low preset dropping from 551 FPS at 1080p to 187 FPS at 4K, a 66% reduction, and the Medium preset falling from 494 FPS to 163 FPS, a 67% reduction.

These numbers suggest that while the CPU is not the limiting factor at lower resolutions—evidenced by the massive 551 FPS at 1080p Low—the GPU begins to take over as the primary bottleneck as resolution increases. The RTX 5090 D's 32 GB of GDDR7 memory and 1.79 TB/s of bandwidth are clearly sufficient for 4K textures, but the raw compute load of rendering at 3840x2160 still causes frame rates to compress. The fact that the Ultra preset at 4K achieves only 104 FPS, while the High preset at 1440p hits 284 FPS, illustrates that the game's ultra settings introduce effects that are disproportionately expensive at high resolutions. The data indicates that this combination is exceptionally well-balanced for 1440p, where the CPU headroom allows the GPU to stretch its legs, but at 4K, the GPU's limitations become the dominant factor, though the resulting frame rates remain far above what most systems can achieve.

How This Combo Ranks

In the database of tested combinations, this specific pairing of the AMD Ryzen 5 7400F and the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 D holds the 34th position out of 2947 total combos for Ready Or Not. This top 1.2% ranking places it among the elite configurations for this game, which is expected given the flagship nature of the GPU. The ranking reflects the combined capability of both components, and the data confirms that the CPU does not hold the GPU back, as the frame rates achieved are at the upper end of what is possible. The fact that it ranks 34th rather than higher is likely due to other combos featuring even more powerful CPUs, such as the Ryzen 7 or Core i9 parts, which can extract a few more frames in CPU-bound scenarios at 1080p.

The combo's percentile ranking is more impressive when considering the CPU's individual standing, as the Ryzen 5 7400F sits at the 83rd percentile among all CPUs, while the RTX 5090 D sits at the 92nd percentile among all GPUs. This pairing of a mid-high-range CPU with a top-tier GPU proves to be highly effective in Ready Or Not, where the CPU's strong single-thread performance is sufficient to prevent bottlenecks. The nearest CPU rivals, such as the Intel Core i5-14600T and the AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 6850H, have nearly identical average benchmark scores with deltas of just 0.1% and -0.2% respectively, indicating that the 7400F is performing exactly in line with its expected tier. The combo's 34th rank out of 2947 demonstrates that for this game, the combination of Zen 4 efficiency and Blackwell 2.0 raw power is a formidable pairing that delivers top-tier results.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 D is the dominant component in this pairing, and its specifications explain why the frame rates are so high. Built on the Blackwell 2.0 architecture with a 5 nm process, this GPU features 21,760 shading units and 170 RT cores, which are directly relevant to Ready Or Not's modern rendering techniques. The GPU's boost clock of 2407 MHz, combined with 32 GB of GDDR7 memory on a 512-bit bus, provides a massive 1.79 TB/s of memory bandwidth, ensuring that texture streaming and high-resolution assets are never a bottleneck. In synthetic benchmarks, the GPU achieves a 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 14326 and a Passmark G3D score of 44065, numbers that place it in the 92nd percentile of all GPUs, confirming its elite status.

The GPU's role in this game is to handle the heavy lifting of lighting, shadows, and post-processing effects, and the measured frame rates show it excels at this task. At 1080p Ultra, the GPU pushes 316 FPS, but at 4K Ultra, it drops to 104 FPS, revealing that the card's compute resources are taxed by the combination of high resolution and maximum settings. The 104.8 TFLOPS of FP32 performance is clearly being utilized at 4K, as the frame rate scaling from 1440p to 4K is substantial. The RTX 5090 D's 176 ROPs and 680 TMUs are responsible for pixel throughput, and the data suggests they are working efficiently, as the High preset at 4K still manages 148 FPS. The GPU's nearest rivals in the benchmark database, such as the AMD Radeon RX 6850M XT, show scores that are 1.6% lower, indicating that the 5090 D is at the very top of the performance hierarchy, which is reflected in the game's high frame rates.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The complete set of measured results provides a detailed view of performance across all settings and resolutions. At 1920x1080, the Low preset achieves an average of 551 FPS, which is the highest frame rate recorded in the entire dataset, demonstrating that the CPU and GPU combination is not stressed at all at this resolution. The Medium preset at 1080p yields 494 FPS average with a minimum of 420 FPS and a maximum of 568 FPS, showing a tight frame time distribution that indicates consistent performance. High settings at 1080p produce 449 FPS, while Ultra drops to 316 FPS, representing a 30% reduction from High, which is a significant cost for the extra visual features. The 1080p Medium preset's minimum of 420 FPS is still far above any display's refresh rate, so there is no risk of noticeable stuttering.

Moving to 2560x1440, the Low preset delivers 358 FPS, which is a 35% drop from 1080p Low, highlighting the resolution's impact. Medium at 1440p achieves 312 FPS with a minimum of 265 FPS and a maximum of 359 FPS, and the minimum frame rate is still exceptionally high for 1440p gaming. High at 1440p produces 284 FPS, while Ultra drops to 199 FPS, a 30% reduction from High, consistent with the 1080p scaling. At 3840x2160, the Low preset hits 187 FPS, Medium reaches 163 FPS with a minimum of 139 FPS and a maximum of 187 FPS, and High achieves 148 FPS. The 4K Ultra preset is the most demanding, yielding 104 FPS, which is the only measured average below 120 FPS. The Medium preset's minimum of 139 FPS at 4K indicates that even in the most demanding scenes, the system maintains smooth performance, while the Ultra preset's lack of a reported minimum suggests it may dip lower. Overall, the data shows a clear hierarchy: Low > Medium > High > Ultra at every resolution, with the performance gaps between presets widening as resolution increases, particularly between High and Ultra.
