A: The RTX 4070's average benchmark score is 37,283. Its closest rival, the AMD Radeon RX Vega 56, scores 37,507 — a deltaPct of -0.6%, meaning the RTX 4070 is marginally behind that specific rival in aggregate synthetic testing.

Q: How much VRAM does the GPU have and what type is it?

A: The RTX 4070 comes with 12 GB of GDDR6X memory on a 192-bit bus, providing 504.2 GB/s of memory bandwidth. This is paired with a 1920 MHz base clock and 2475 MHz boost clock.

Q: What is the CPU's boost clock and core configuration?

A: The Ryzen 5 8400F has 6 cores and 12 threads, with a base clock of 4.20 GHz and a boost clock of 4.70 GHz. It belongs to the 8000 series based on Zen 4 (Phoenix) architecture.

GPU Role

The RTX 4070's specifications position it as a high-end Ada Lovelace part. With 5,888 shading units, 184 texture mapping units, and 64 raster operation processors, the GPU is built for heavy rasterization workloads. The 12 GB GDDR6X frame buffer at 504.2 GB/s provides substantial memory throughput for Ready Or Not's detailed environments and multiple simultaneous AI actors.

The clock behavior deserves scrutiny. Base clock sits at 1920 MHz while boost reaches 2475 MHz — a 28.9% uplift under load. This boost behavior directly impacts the measured FPS, especially at lower resolutions where the GPU can push higher frame rates. The pixel rate of 158.4 GPixel/s and texture rate of 455.4 GTexel/s suggest the card can handle high fill-rate demands, which matters for the game's lighting and shadow calculations.

The GPU's synthetic benchmark results show a passmark G3D score of 26,927 and a DirectX 12 score of 103. The 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 3,854 indicates respectable modern API performance. The GPU sits at the 81st percentile versus all GPUs, confirming its upper-midrange positioning. Its nearest rival, the RX Vega 56, exceeds it by only 0.6% in average score — suggesting the 4070 is tightly competitive with that older flagship.

CPU Role

The Ryzen 5 8400F is a 6-core, 12-thread Zen 4 part built on TSMC's 4 nm process. With a boost clock of 4.70 GHz and 16 MB of shared L3 cache, this CPU is designed for responsive single-threaded performance. The single-thread Cinebench R23 score of 2,943 and 3DMark single-thread score of 951 indicate strong per-core capability, which matters for Ready Or Not's AI-driven enemy and civilian behavior calculations.

The CPU's multi-threaded results tell a broader story. Cinebench R23 multi-core reaches 20,851, while 3DMark max-threads hits 6,165. The 16-thread test scores 6,091, nearly matching the max-threads result — suggesting the 12-thread chip scales well up to its thread count but has no headroom beyond. The passmark multi-thread score of 24,530 and integer math score of 74,304 reinforce this positioning.

The 8400F's aggregate benchmark score of 25,064 places it at the 82nd percentile versus all CPUs. Its nearest rivals are telling: the Ryzen 7 2700X matches it exactly at 0% delta, while the Ryzen 5 7500F is 0.3% behind. The EPYC 9474F also sits 0.2% behind, showing that this mainstream desktop chip trades blows with enterprise silicon in synthetic workloads. The 65W TDP and DDR5 dual-channel support at 83.2 GB/s bandwidth provide a balanced foundation.

How This Combo Ranks

The 445th rank out of 1,748 combos places this pairing in the upper quartile of tested configurations for Ready Or Not. This is a strong result for a mainstream CPU paired with a mid-to-high-end GPU. The ranking suggests the combination hits a sweet spot — the 8400F avoids bottlenecking the 4070 in most scenarios, while the GPU provides enough horsepower to drive high refresh rates.

The percentile data reinforces this. The CPU sits at the 82nd percentile while the GPU sits at the 81st percentile — both components are well above average. The rank of 445 out of 1,748 implies that roughly 25% of combos outperform this one, which aligns with the expectation that more expensive CPUs and higher-tier GPUs will push higher frame rates. However, the gap between this combo and those above it may be smaller than the raw rank suggests, given the measured FPS numbers.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the data shows a clear progression across settings. Low delivers 365.3 FPS average, Medium drops to 318.6 FPS, High reaches 290.1 FPS, and Ultra falls to 203 FPS. The step from High to Ultra costs 87.1 FPS — a 30% reduction — which indicates Ultra imposes significant additional load.

At 2560x1440, the pattern holds but with compressed margins. Low produces 232.4 FPS, Medium 204.7 FPS, High 186.9 FPS, and Ultra 131.7 FPS. The High-to-Ultra drop here is 55.2 FPS, or 29.5% — nearly identical percentage-wise to 1080p, suggesting the settings scale consistently across resolutions.

At 3840x2160, the GPU becomes the limiting factor. Low yields 121.5 FPS, Medium 107.3 FPS, High 93.8 FPS, and Ultra 68.8 FPS. The High-to-Ultra drop is 25 FPS (26.6%), slightly less pronounced than at lower resolutions, because the GPU is already saturated. The 4K Low result of 121.5 FPS is still above 60 FPS, demonstrating the 4070's capability even at this demanding resolution.

Settings Recommendations

The measured data suggests High settings at 1440p offer the best balance. At 2560x1440 High, the combo achieves 186.9 FPS — well above the 144 Hz refresh rate most monitors support. Dropping to Medium gains only 17.8 FPS (9.5% improvement) while losing visual quality. Ultra at 1440p drops to 131.7 FPS, which is still playable but sacrifices 29.5% of the High preset's performance.

For 4K gaming, High is the recommended preset. The 93.8 FPS average at 3840x2160 High is comfortably above 60 FPS and only 13.5 FPS behind Medium's 107.3. Ultra at 4K falls to 68.8 FPS, which is borderline for fast-paced tactical shooters where reaction time matters. Low at 4K provides 121.5 FPS but likely compromises too much visual fidelity for the modest gain over Medium.

At 1080p, the data indicates High is optimal. The 290.1 FPS average exceeds even 240 Hz displays, and the 28.1 FPS gain from dropping to Medium (to 318.6) is marginal relative to the visual loss. Ultra at 1080p still delivers 203 FPS, making it viable for competitive play if visual quality is prioritized.

Resolution Scaling

The FPS drop from 1080p to 4K reveals the GPU-bound nature of this pairing. At Low settings, 1080p yields 365.3 FPS while 4K produces 121.5 FPS — a 66.7% reduction. At Ultra, the drop is from 203 FPS at 1080p to 68.8 FPS at 4K — a 66.1% reduction. The consistency of this scaling across settings suggests the limiting component remains constant.

The CPU's role becomes clearer when examining the 1080p results. The 365.3 FPS at Low settings is exceptionally high, suggesting the 8400F can feed frames at a very high rate. The 3DMark single-thread score of 951 and Cinebench R23 single-core of 2,943 indicate the CPU has strong per-core throughput, which is critical for maintaining high frame rates at lower resolutions where GPU load is reduced.

The GPU's 12 GB VRAM and 504.2 GB/s bandwidth handle the increased resolution demands without apparent memory-related stutters, based on the smooth scaling from High to Ultra at each resolution. The pixel rate of 158.4 GPixel/s becomes the more relevant metric at 4K, where the GPU's fill-rate limits emerge. The data suggests that 1440p is the sweet spot — the 186.9 FPS at High is 79.9% higher than the 4K equivalent, while the 1080p High result of 290.1 FPS is only 55.2% higher than 1440p. This diminishing return indicates the GPU's capabilities are best utilized at 1440p.
