At 1920x1080, the system delivers exceptional performance. Low settings yield 365.5 FPS, Medium reaches 322.2 FPS, High drops to 292.3 FPS, and Ultra still maintains a very high 202.5 FPS. The difference between Low and Ultra at 1080p is 163 FPS, representing a 44.6% reduction in frame rate as settings are maximized. This indicates that at 1080p, the GPU has ample headroom, and the CPU is working hard to feed it frames.

At 2560x1440, the performance remains extremely strong. Low settings produce 232.9 FPS, Medium achieves 200.9 FPS, High delivers 184.5 FPS, and Ultra settles at 130.1 FPS. The drop from Low to Ultra is 102.8 FPS, a 44.1% reduction. Notably, the 1440p High setting (184.5 FPS) is only slightly lower than the 1080p Ultra setting (202.5 FPS), suggesting that users can enjoy higher resolution with similar visual quality without a significant performance penalty.

At 3840x2160, the performance scales down considerably but remains playable. Low settings average 120.4 FPS, Medium reaches 107.5 FPS, High delivers 96.3 FPS, and Ultra drops to 68.2 FPS. The reduction from Low to Ultra at 4K is 52.2 FPS, a 43.4% decrease. The 4K Ultra result of 68.2 FPS is above the 60 FPS threshold, making it viable for smooth gameplay on a 4K display, though users targeting 120 FPS at 4K will need to reduce settings to Low (120.4 FPS).

GPU Role — VRAM, clocks, and how they relate to this game's results

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 is the dominant component in this pairing, particularly at higher resolutions. It features 12 GB of GDDR6X memory on a 192-bit bus, delivering a bandwidth of 504.2 GB/s. The GPU’s boost clock is 2475 MHz, with a base clock of 1920 MHz, and it operates at a TDP of 200 W. The AD104 chip, built on a 5 nm process, contains 35,800 million transistors and offers 5,888 shading units.

The GPU’s memory capacity of 12 GB is sufficient for Ready Or Not at all tested settings. The game’s texture-heavy environments and detailed character models benefit from the high memory bandwidth. The data shows that the GPU is the primary bottleneck at 4K resolution. The frame rate difference between 1080p Low (365.5 FPS) and 4K Low (120.4 FPS) is 245.1 FPS, a 67% reduction, which is largely attributed to the GPU’s rendering load.

The RTX 4070’s benchmark scores reflect its capability. It scores 26,927 in PassMark G3D and 14,720 in PassMark GPU Compute. The GPU’s nearest rival, the AMD Radeon RX Vega 56, has a delta of -0.6% in average score, meaning the RTX 4070 is marginally ahead. The RTX 4070’s average benchmark score of 37,283 places it in the 81st percentile of all GPUs. In Ready Or Not, the GPU’s ray tracing cores (46) and tensor cores (184) are not heavily utilized at the tested settings, but the raw rasterization power is what drives the high frame rates.

Settings Recommendations — which preset gives the best experience per the measured rows

The data indicates that the High preset at 1440p offers the best balance of visual fidelity and performance, delivering 184.5 FPS. This is well above the 144 Hz refresh rate that many gaming monitors support, providing a smooth experience without requiring the highest settings. At this resolution, High settings also consume less GPU resources than Ultra, leaving headroom for demanding scenes with multiple AI enemies and dynamic lighting.

For users with 1080p displays, the Ultra preset at 202.5 FPS is the recommended choice. The performance is still exceptionally high, and the visual upgrades from High to Ultra are noticeable in texture detail and shadow quality. The system has enough overhead to run Ultra at 1080p without any risk of the frame rate dropping below playable levels.

For 4K gaming, the Medium preset at 107.5 FPS is the recommended starting point. This provides a smooth experience on 4K displays that support 120 Hz refresh rates. The Low preset at 120.4 FPS is also viable for competitive play, where frame rate is prioritized over visual quality. The Ultra preset at 68.2 FPS is acceptable for cinematic single-player experiences, but it may not be sufficient for competitive multiplayer matches where reaction times are critical.

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

The frame rate scaling from 1080p to 4K clearly demonstrates the GPU-bound nature of this system in Ready Or Not. At Low settings, frame rates drop from 365.5 FPS at 1080p to 232.9 FPS at 1440p (a 36.3% reduction) and further to 120.4 FPS at 4K (a 67.1% reduction from 1080p). This pattern is consistent across all settings presets.

The scaling behavior indicates that the CPU is not the primary limiting factor. If the CPU were the bottleneck, the frame rates at 1080p would be lower and the drop to 4K would be less pronounced, as the GPU would be underutilized at lower resolutions. Instead, the data shows that the RTX 4070 is being tasked with more work as resolution increases, and its performance scales accordingly.

At Medium settings, the frame rate drops from 322.2 FPS at 1080p to 200.9 FPS at 1440p (37.7% reduction) and to 107.5 FPS at 4K (66.6% reduction). At High settings, the drop is from 292.3 FPS to 184.5 FPS (36.9% reduction) and to 96.3 FPS (67.1% reduction). At Ultra settings, the drop is from 202.5 FPS to 130.1 FPS (35.8% reduction) and to 68.2 FPS (66.3% reduction).

The consistent ~35-38% reduction from 1080p to 1440p and ~66-67% reduction from 1080p to 4K across all settings presets confirms that the GPU is the limiting component. The CPU is capable of feeding the GPU with enough data at all tested resolutions, as evidenced by the high frame rates at 1080p. This suggests that users who wish to improve 4K performance would benefit most from a GPU upgrade, while the Ryzen 5 7600X has sufficient headroom for future GPU upgrades.
