Ready Or Not

Ready Or Not is a tactical shooter that stresses both CPU and GPU, and the combination of the AMD Ryzen 5 7600X with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 D produces top-tier results. The data shows this pairing achieves the highest rank among 2,947 tested combos, with performance scaling predictably from 1080p to 4K. This analysis breaks down the measured frame rates, the role of each component, and how this specific configuration ranks against the broader field.

Resolution Scaling

The measured FPS data reveals a clear and consistent scaling pattern as resolution increases. At 1920x1080 with High settings, the combo delivers an average of 449 FPS. Moving to 2560x1440 drops that average to 284 FPS, a reduction of 165 FPS or roughly 37%. At 3840x2160, the average falls further to 148 FPS, which is about 48% lower than the 1440p result and 67% lower than the 1080p figure. This steep decline as pixel count rises indicates that the RTX 5090 D is the primary limiting factor at higher resolutions, where the GPU’s rendering workload grows exponentially.

The pattern holds across all settings tiers. For Low settings, the averages are 567 FPS at 1080p, 358 FPS at 1440p, and 187 FPS at 4K. Medium settings show 494 FPS, 312 FPS, and 163 FPS respectively. Ultra settings produce 316 FPS at 1080p, 199 FPS at 1440p, and 104 FPS at 4K. The consistent roughly 2x performance drop from 1080p to 4K across all settings confirms that the GPU is the bottleneck, as the CPU’s workload does not change with resolution. The Ryzen 5 7600X’s six cores and 12 threads are capable of feeding the GPU at lower resolutions, but the RTX 5090 D’s raw pixel-pushing power dictates the upper limits at 4K.

Notably, the gap between High and Ultra settings widens at higher resolutions. At 1080p, the difference between High (449 FPS) and Ultra (316 FPS) is 133 FPS. At 4K, that gap narrows to 44 FPS (148 vs 104 FPS). This suggests that Ultra settings introduce effects that become more expensive relative to the GPU’s total workload at 4K, while at 1080p the CPU can still maintain high frame rates even with those effects enabled.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 5 7600X is a six-core, 12-thread processor from the Zen 4 Raphael architecture, running on the AM5 socket. Its base clock is 4.70 GHz with a boost clock of 5.30 GHz. In Ready Or Not, a tactical shooter that relies on AI-driven enemy behavior and complex level geometry, the CPU’s single-thread performance and multi-core throughput both matter. The benchmark data shows a Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 15,236 and a single-core score of 1,965. Geekbench results are 13,858 multi-core and 2,603 single-core.

These numbers indicate a strong mid-range CPU that can handle the game’s simulation overhead without becoming a limiting factor in most scenarios. At 1080p, where the GPU is less stressed, the CPU’s role becomes more prominent. The fact that the combo still achieves 449 FPS on High settings at 1080p shows that the 7600X can keep up with the RTX 5090 D’s output in this title. The 3DMark scores further illustrate its threading capability: 6,879 for 16 threads and 5,715 for 8 threads, with a single-thread score of 1,060.

The CPU’s 32 MB of shared L3 cache and 83.2 GB/s memory bandwidth support fast access to game data, which is crucial for a tactical shooter where quick decision-making and reaction times are paramount. The processor’s percentile ranking of 79 versus all CPUs places it above the majority of desktop processors, though its nearest rivals show it is not a standout. The AMD Ryzen 7 5700X and Intel Core i5-12600K both have an average benchmark score of 27,578, matching the 7600X’s score of 27,636 within a 0.2% delta. This means the CPU is competitive but not uniquely positioned at the top of the processor hierarchy.

How This Combo Ranks

The combination of the Ryzen 5 7600X and RTX 5090 D achieves a combo rank of 1 out of 2,947 tested combinations in Ready Or Not. This top rank is driven primarily by the GPU’s exceptional performance, as the RTX 5090 D sits in the 92nd percentile of all GPUs, with an average benchmark score of 77,712. The CPU, while solid, is not the reason for this ranking—the 7600X’s 79th percentile placement among CPUs is respectable but not elite.

The data shows that the combo’s rank is a product of the GPU’s dominance. The RTX 5090 D’s nearest rivals in the GPU benchmark list include the AMD Radeon RX 6650M XT (average score 76,904, delta 1.1%) and AMD Radeon RX 6850M XT (average score 78,940, delta -1.6%). These deltas are small, indicating that the RTX 5090 D is not dramatically ahead of its closest competitors in synthetic tests, but in Ready Or Not specifically, the combo outperforms all 2,946 other pairings measured. This suggests that the game’s engine responds particularly well to the RTX 5090 D’s architecture and the 7600X’s balanced throughput.

It is notably the CPU’s nearest rivals show minimal performance deltas—the Ryzen 7 5700X and Core i5-12600K are within 0.2% of the 7600X’s average score, and the Ryzen 5 8500GE is 0.3% behind. This means swapping the CPU for a slightly different model would likely not change the combo’s rank, as the GPU is the dominant factor. The top rank is therefore a signal of the RTX 5090 D’s capability in this title.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the combo delivers extremely high frame rates across all settings. Low settings produce an average of 567 FPS, Medium 494 FPS (with a minimum of 420 and maximum of 568), High 449 FPS, and Ultra 316 FPS. The gap between Low and Ultra is 251 FPS, showing that settings have a significant impact even at this resolution. The Medium setting’s minimum of 420 FPS indicates that the combo never dips below a playable threshold, and the maximum of 568 FPS aligns closely with the Low setting’s average.

Moving to 2560x1440, the averages are 358 FPS on Low, 312 FPS on Medium (minimum 265, maximum 359), 284 FPS on High, and 199 FPS on Ultra. The reduction from 1080p is consistent, with Low dropping by 209 FPS, Medium by 182 FPS, High by 165 FPS, and Ultra by 117 FPS. The Medium setting’s minimum of 265 FPS remains well above the refresh rates of most high-end monitors, indicating smooth performance in demanding scenes.

At 3840x2160, the averages drop to 187 FPS on Low, 163 FPS on Medium (minimum 139, maximum 187), 148 FPS on High, and 104 FPS on Ultra. The Medium setting’s minimum of 139 FPS is still above the 120 Hz threshold, but the Ultra setting’s 104 FPS average suggests that 4K Ultra may push the GPU to its limits in intense firefights. The scaling from 1440p to 4K shows a roughly 45-50% reduction across settings, which is expected given the fourfold increase in pixel count.

The data clearly shows that the combo is capable of running Ready Or Not at 4K with high frame rates, but Ultra settings at 4K require a trade-off between visual fidelity and smoothness. At 1080p and 1440p, the combo is effectively overkill for most displays, as even the Ultra settings at 1440p (199 FPS) exceed the capabilities of most gaming monitors.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 D is a flagship GPU based on the Blackwell 2.0 architecture, built on a 5 nm process with 92,200 million transistors on a 750 mm² die. It features 32 GB of GDDR7 memory on a 512-bit bus, providing a massive 1.79 TB/s of memory bandwidth. The GPU’s base clock is 2017 MHz with a boost clock of 2407 MHz, and it has 21,760 shading units, 680 texture mapping units, and 176 raster operation units. This hardware configuration delivers 104.8 TFLOPS of FP32 performance, making it one of the most powerful consumer GPUs available.

In Ready Or Not, the GPU’s role is paramount. The measured FPS data shows that even at 4K Ultra, the combo achieves 104 FPS average, which is a demanding scenario for any GPU. The RTX 5090 D’s 92nd percentile ranking among all GPUs, with an average benchmark score of 77,712, confirms its top-tier status. Its Passmark G3D score of 44,065 and Geekbench Vulkan score of 376,915 highlight its strong compute and graphics capabilities.

The GPU’s 32 GB of VRAM is more than sufficient for Ready Or Not’s texture and geometry demands, even at 4K with Ultra settings. The memory bandwidth of 1.79 TB/s ensures that data can be fed to the GPU cores quickly, avoiding bottlenecks that could limit frame rates. The RTX 5090 D’s nearest rivals in synthetic benchmarks—the Radeon RX 685M XT at 78,940 and Tesla P100 PCIe 12 GB at 79,396—show that the GPU is not overwhelmingly ahead in raw compute, but in game-specific tests, it clearly excels. The combo’s rank of 1 out of 2,947 indicates that the RTX 5090 D is exceptionally well-suited to Ready Or Not’s engine, likely due to its high pixel rate of 423.6 GPixel/s and texture rate of 1,636.8 GTexel/s.
