Ready Or Not

Resolution Scaling

The measured frame rates for Ready Or Not with the AMD Ryzen 5 7500F and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 show a clear progression as resolution increases. At 1920x1080 with Ultra settings, the combo produces 155.3 FPS. Moving to 2560x1440 Ultra drops this to 99.3 FPS, a reduction of 56.0 FPS. At 3840x2160 Ultra, the average falls further to 49.4 FPS. This scaling pattern indicates that the RTX 5060 becomes the limiting component as pixel count rises, particularly at the higher settings presets.

Looking at the High preset, the frame rate at 1080p is 222.2 FPS, which falls to 139.8 FPS at 1440p, and then to 72.0 FPS at 4K. The percentage drop from 1080p to 1440p is roughly 37%, while the drop from 1440p to 4K is approximately 48%. These are substantial reductions, but the game remains playable at all three resolutions on High. The Low preset tells a similar story: 283.5 FPS at 1080p, 177.1 FPS at 1440p, and 95.4 FPS at 4K. Even at 4K Low, the system maintains nearly 100 FPS, which suggests the GPU has enough headroom for competitive play if visual fidelity is sacrificed.

The Medium preset shows 248.7 FPS at 1080p, 152.9 FPS at 1440p, and 80.1 FPS at 4K. The scaling from 1080p to 1440p is a 38.6% reduction, and from 1440p to 4K is a 47.6% reduction. These percentages are consistent across presets, indicating that resolution scaling behaves predictably regardless of settings. The data also reveals that the gap between Low and Ultra widens as resolution increases. At 1080p, the difference between Low and Ultra is 128.2 FPS, while at 4K, the same comparison yields only 46.0 FPS. This compression at higher resolutions reinforces that the GPU's pixel throughput is the dominant constraint at 4K, whereas at 1080p, the CPU and memory subsystem have more influence on the final frame rate.

FAQ

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 is built on the Blackwell 2.0 architecture with a 5 nm process from TSMC. It has 3840 shading units, 120 TMUs, and 48 ROPs, with 30 RT cores and 120 tensor cores. The GPU's base clock is 2280 MHz and the boost clock is 2497 MHz. Memory is 8 GB of GDDR7 on a 128-bit bus, providing 448.0 GB/s of bandwidth. This memory configuration is important for Ready Or Not, as the game's texture-heavy environments can consume significant VRAM at higher presets.

The measured FPS data shows that the GPU's performance scales smoothly across settings. At 1080p, the jump from Low (283.5 FPS) to Medium (248.7 FPS) is a 12.3% drop, while from Medium to High (222.2 FPS) is a 10.6% drop, and from High to Ultra (155.3 FPS) is a 30.1% drop. The largest single step is from High to Ultra, which suggests that the Ultra preset introduces a significant increase in shading or texture workload that the GPU cannot fully absorb. At 4K, the same pattern holds but with smaller absolute drops: Low to Medium is 15.3 FPS, Medium to High is 8.1 FPS, and High to Ultra is 22.6 FPS.

The RTX 5060's FP32 performance is 19.18 TFLOPS, and it supports DirectX 12 Ultimate (12_2), OpenGL 4.6, and Vulkan 1.4. The GPU's pixel rate is 119.9 GPixel/s and texture rate is 299.6 GTexel/s, which are relevant for the fill-rate demands of tactical shooters with complex geometry. The GPU's average benchmark score of 30109 places it at the 73rd percentile among all GPUs, and its nearest rival is the RX 7700 XT with a delta of 0.0%, meaning the two are statistically indistinguishable in synthetic tests. The 8 GB VRAM is adequate for this game at the tested settings, as the frame rates do not show signs of memory throttling even at 4K Ultra.

Settings Recommendations

Based on the measured FPS rows, the best experience depends on the target refresh rate. For 1080p users, every preset exceeds 144 FPS, with Low at 283.5, Medium at 248.7, High at 222.2, and Ultra at 155.3. The Ultra preset still clears 150 FPS, so there is no reason to drop below Ultra at this resolution if visual quality is the priority. At 1440p, the choice narrows. Medium delivers 152.9 FPS, which is just above 144 Hz, while High delivers 139.8 FPS and Ultra drops to 99.3 FPS. For a 144 Hz display, Medium at 1440p is the optimal setting. Low at 1440p provides 177.1 FPS but sacrifices too much visual fidelity for a marginal gain over Medium.

At 4K, the situation is more constrained. High provides 72.0 FPS, which is playable but below 75 FPS. Medium provides 80.1 FPS, which is a better balance for a 60-75 Hz display. Low provides 95.4 FPS, which would suit a 90 Hz panel, but the visual degradation may be noticeable in a tactical shooter where spotting enemies at range matters. Ultra at 4K is not recommended, as 49.4 FPS falls below the 60 FPS threshold that most players consider the minimum for smooth gameplay. The data indicates that the RTX 5060 is best paired with Medium at 1440p for a high-refresh experience, or High at 1440p if visual fidelity is prioritized over a few extra frames.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the measured average FPS values are: Low at 283.5, Medium at 248.7, High at 222.2, and Ultra at 155.3. The differences between consecutive presets are: Low to Medium is 34.8 FPS, Medium to High is 26.5 FPS, and High to Ultra is 66.9 FPS. The High-to-Ultra drop is the most significant, indicating a heavy increase in rendering load. At 2560x1440, the values are: Low at 177.1, Medium at 152.9, High at 139.8, and Ultra at 99.3. The differences are: Low to Medium is 24.2 FPS, Medium to High is 13.1 FPS, and High to Ultra is 40.5 FPS. The High-to-Ultra step remains the largest, confirming that the Ultra preset is disproportionately demanding.

At 3840x2160, the values are: Low at 95.4, Medium at 80.1, High at 72.0, and Ultra at 49.4. The differences are: Low to Medium is 15.3 FPS, Medium to High is 8.1 FPS, and High to Ultra is 22.6 FPS. The absolute drops shrink as resolution increases, but the percentage drops are similar across resolutions. For example, High to Ultra at 1080p is a 30.1% reduction, at 1440p is a 29.0% reduction, and at 4K is a 31.4% reduction. This consistency suggests that the Ultra preset's additional workload scales uniformly with pixel count. The data also shows that the RTX 5060 maintains a playable frame rate (above 60 FPS) at 4K up to High settings, with only Ultra falling below that threshold.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 5 7500F is a 6-core, 12-thread processor based on the Zen 4 architecture (Raphael) on a 5 nm process. Its base clock is 3.70 GHz and boost clock is 5.00 GHz. The CPU has 64 KB of L1 cache per core, 1 MB of L2 cache per core, and 32 MB of shared L3 cache. It supports DDR5 memory in a dual-channel configuration with 83.2 GB/s of bandwidth. The CPU's TDP is 65 W, and it uses the AMD Socket AM5 platform with PCIe Gen 5 (24 lanes). The 7500F's average benchmark score is 24993, placing it at the 82nd percentile among all CPUs.

In synthetic benchmarks, the 7500F scores 974 in 3DMark single-thread and 6379 in 3DMark max threads. Its Cinebench R23 scores are 3218 single-core and 22799 multi-core. These numbers indicate strong single-thread performance, which is crucial for Ready Or Not's AI-driven enemy behavior and physics calculations. The CPU's nearest rival is the Intel Core i7-11850H with an average score of 24974 and a delta of 0.1%, meaning the two are virtually identical in overall performance. The AMD Ryzen 7 2700X trails by 0.3%, and the Ryzen 5 8400F also trails by 0.3%, while the Ryzen 9 6900HX is ahead by 0.4%.

The measured FPS at 1080p Low (283.5 FPS) demonstrates that the CPU can drive very high frame rates without bottlenecking the RTX 5060. At 1080p Ultra, the frame rate drops to 155.3 FPS, which is still well above the CPU's compute ceiling for most games. The fact that the frame rate scales consistently from 1080p to 1440p to 4K, with no anomalous plateaus, indicates that the CPU is not the limiting factor in this configuration. Instead, the GPU's fill rate and shading capacity determine the final FPS, particularly at higher resolutions and presets. The CPU's 12 threads are sufficient for this tactical shooter, and the boost clock of 5.00 GHz ensures that per-core performance is not a bottleneck even in crowded scenes with multiple AI enemies.
