Ready Or Not

The AMD Ryzen 5 8400F and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER pairing delivers exceptional performance in Ready Or Not, with measured frame rates that remain high even at 4K Ultra settings. Across all tested resolutions and presets, this combination produces an average FPS range from 86 at 3840x2160 Ultra to 467 at 1920x1080 Low, positioning it as a top-tier setup for this tactical shooter. The data indicates that the system is overwhelmingly GPU-bound at higher resolutions, while the CPU’s six cores and 12 threads provide more than enough headroom at 1080p.

Resolution Scaling

The measured FPS data for Ready Or Not reveals a clear and consistent scaling pattern as resolution increases from 1920x1080 to 3840x2160. At High settings, the average frame rate drops from 370 FPS at 1080p to 234 FPS at 1440p, then further to 122 FPS at 4K. This represents a 37% reduction moving from 1080p to 1440p, and a 48% reduction from 1440p to 4K. The pattern holds across all presets, with the most dramatic absolute drop occurring between 1440p and 4K.

Examining the Low preset, the system achieves 467 FPS at 1080p, falls to 295 FPS at 1440p, and settles at 154 FPS at 4K. The drop from 1080p to 1440p is 37%, while the drop from 1440p to 4K is 48%. This consistent scaling factor suggests that the RTX 4080 SUPER’s 16 GB of GDDR6X memory and 736.3 GB/s bandwidth are being utilized progressively more as pixel count increases, but even at 4K Low, the frame rate remains far above the 60 FPS threshold for smooth gameplay.

The Medium preset shows similar behavior: 407 FPS at 1080p, 257 FPS at 1440p, and 134 FPS at 4K. The minimum FPS values recorded at Medium settings are 346 at 1080p, 218 at 1440p, and 114 at 4K, indicating that even the lowest measured frames stay comfortably playable. The Ultra preset, which is the most demanding, yields 260 FPS at 1080p, 164 FPS at 1440p, and 86 FPS at 4K. The 4K Ultra result of 86 FPS average is notable because it shows the GPU is still delivering high refresh rates even at maximum settings with a 3840x2160 resolution.

The scaling data strongly indicates that the limiting component shifts with resolution. At 1080p, the CPU becomes more relevant, as the frame rates exceed 400 FPS on Medium and Low presets. The Ryzen 5 8400F, with its 4.20 GHz base clock and 4.70 GHz boost clock, can maintain these high frame rates without becoming a bottleneck. However, at 4K, the RTX 4080 SUPER is clearly the primary constraint, as the frame rates drop by roughly half compared to 1440p across all settings. The 122 FPS at 4K High versus 234 FPS at 1440p High demonstrates this GPU-bound behavior, where the pixel throughput demands exceed what even this high-end card can deliver at maximum output.

Settings Recommendations

The measured FPS data provides clear guidance for optimizing the Ready Or Not experience with this hardware combination. For users with 3840x2160 displays, the High preset at 122 FPS average offers an excellent balance between visual fidelity and performance. The Medium preset at 134 FPS provides a modest 10% improvement over High, with minimum FPS of 114, while the Ultra preset at 86 FPS sacrifices 30% of the High preset’s frame rate for marginal visual gains. Given that the game is a tactical shooter where smoothness matters for aiming and situational awareness, High is the recommended choice at 4K.

At 2560x1440 resolution, the High preset achieves 234 FPS average, which is more than sufficient for any high-refresh-rate monitor. The Medium preset at 257 FPS offers a 10% improvement, with minimum FPS of 218, making it the best option for users who prioritize maximum smoothness. The Ultra preset at 164 FPS still delivers excellent performance, but the 30% reduction from High makes it less appealing unless visual quality is the absolute priority. For competitive play, Low at 295 FPS would be the choice, but the difference between Low and Medium is only 13%, making Medium the better value in terms of visual quality per frame.

At 1920x1080, the system is capable of extraordinary frame rates. The High preset at 370 FPS average is already far beyond what most monitors can display, and Medium at 407 FPS with minimum FPS of 346 provides even more headroom. The Low preset at 467 FPS is only 15% faster than Medium, indicating diminishing returns from lowering settings further. For 1080p users, Medium offers the best experience because it delivers 407 FPS average with a minimum of 346 FPS, ensuring no perceptible stutter even in intense firefights, while maintaining significantly better visual quality than Low.

The Ultra preset across all resolutions shows a consistent pattern: it produces frame rates that are 30-45% lower than High. At 4K Ultra, 86 FPS is still playable, but the jump from High to Ultra costs 36 FPS, which is substantial. The data suggests that High is the sweet spot for this GPU-CPU combination, providing the best balance of visual quality and performance at every resolution. For users with 120 Hz or 144 Hz displays at 1440p, Medium at 257 FPS ensures the monitor is always saturated, while High at 234 FPS also exceeds refresh rate capabilities.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 5 8400F is a six-core, 12-thread processor based on the Zen 4 architecture, fabricated on TSMC’s 4 nm process node. It operates with a base clock of 4.20 GHz and a boost clock of 4.70 GHz, with a 65 W TDP. The CPU’s cache hierarchy includes 64 KB of L1 cache per core, 1 MB of L2 cache per core, and 16 MB of shared L3 cache. Memory support is dual-channel DDR5 with a bandwidth of 83.2 GB/s, and the processor uses the AMD Socket AM5 interface.

In Ready Or Not, the CPU’s role becomes most apparent at 1080p resolution, where the frame rates reach 467 FPS on Low settings. At this level, the CPU must feed the GPU with enough draw calls and game logic updates to sustain such high output. The 8400F’s boost clock of 4.70 GHz and its 12 threads handle this workload effectively, as evidenced by the high average FPS. The benchmark results for this CPU show a Cinebench R23 multicore score of 20851 and a single-core score of 2943, which are strong indicators of its capability in gaming workloads that rely on both single-threaded performance and multi-threaded scaling.

Comparing the 8400F to its nearest rivals in the CPU benchmark database, it scores 0.2% higher than the AMD Ryzen 5 7500F, 0.3% higher than the Intel Core i7-11850H, and 0.4% higher than the Intel Core i7-13620H, while being 0.4% lower than the AMD EPYC 9474F. These small deltas indicate that the 8400F performs nearly identically to these competitors in synthetic benchmarks, meaning its gaming performance is largely determined by its high boost clock and efficient Zen 4 architecture rather than any unique advantage.

The measured FPS data shows that at 1080p, the CPU is not a bottleneck for this game. The transition from High to Low settings at 1080p yields a 26% frame rate increase (370 to 467 FPS), which is relatively modest compared to the GPU-bound scaling observed at higher resolutions. This suggests that even at Low settings, the CPU is able to keep up with the GPU’s output. At 4K, the CPU’s influence diminishes significantly, as evidenced by the fact that the frame rate at 4K Low (154 FPS) is only 26% higher than 4K High (122 FPS), while the resolution scaling from 1440p to 4K shows a 48% drop. The CPU’s 16 MB of shared L3 cache and 12 threads provide sufficient resources for Ready Or Not’s tactical gameplay, which involves managing AI teammates and multiple enemy interactions.

How This Combo Ranks

The rank of 315 out of 3,714 reflects the combination’s high frame rates across all resolutions, particularly the 122 FPS at 4K High and 234 FPS at 1440p High.

The ranking is influenced by both components. The RTX 4080 SUPER, which sits at the 86th percentile among all GPUs in the database, provides the raw graphics horsepower needed for high-resolution rendering. Its nearest GPU rivals include the RTX 4080 with a score 0.1% higher, the AMD Radeon Pro W5700X at 1.1% higher, and the AMD Radeon RX 6750 GRE 12 GB at 2.7% higher, while the AMD Radeon 8060S is 2.8% higher. These small deltas mean that the RTX 4080 SUPER is effectively at parity with its closest competitors, and its performance in Ready Or Not is driven by its 16 GB VRAM and 52.22 TFLOPS FP32 compute capability.

The CPU’s contribution to this rank is secondary but still relevant. The Ryzen 5 8400F ranks at the 77th percentile among all CPUs, with an average benchmark score of 25005. Its nearest rivals are all within 0.4% of its score, meaning that swapping to a Ryzen 5 7500F or Intel Core i7-13620H would likely produce nearly identical results in Ready Or Not. The combo’s rank of 315 is therefore primarily determined by the GPU’s ability to maintain high frame rates, with the CPU ensuring that no bottleneck occurs at lower resolutions.

The gap between this combo and the top-ranked systems is likely attributable to higher-end GPUs or CPUs with more cores, but the data does not specify those configurations. What is clear is that a rank of 315 out of 3,714 puts this setup in the top decile, making it a high-performance choice for Ready Or Not. The measured FPS at 4K Ultra of 86 FPS is particularly noteworthy because it exceeds the 60 FPS target for most monitors, and the 1440p results all exceed 164 FPS, ensuring compatibility with high-refresh-rate displays.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER is built on the Ada Lovelace architecture using TSMC’s 5 nm process, with a chip designated AD103. It features 10,240 shading units, 320 texture mapping units, and 112 raster output units, along with 80 RT cores and 320 tensor cores. The GPU operates at a base clock of 2295 MHz and a boost clock of 2550 MHz, with memory running at 1438 MHz (23 Gbps effective). The 16 GB of GDDR6X memory is connected via a 256-bit bus, providing a bandwidth of 736.3 GB/s. The card’s TDP is 320 W, and it uses a 1x 16-pin power connector.

In Ready Or Not, the GPU is the dominant factor in determining performance, especially at 1440p and 4K resolutions. The measured FPS scaling from 1080p to 4K shows that the GPU’s rendering load increases with pixel count, and the RTX 4080 SUPER handles this exceptionally well. At 4K Ultra, the GPU still manages 86 FPS average, which demonstrates its high fill rate of 285.6 GPixel/s and texture rate of 816.0 GTexel/s. The 52.22 TFLOPS FP32 compute performance allows for complex lighting and shadow calculations typical of a tactical shooter.

Comparing the RTX 4080 SUPER to its nearest GPU rivals, its average benchmark score of 54209 is only 0.1% lower than the RTX 4080, 1.1% lower than the Radeon Pro W5700X, 2.7% lower than the Radeon RX 6750 GRE 12 GB, and 2.8% lower than the Radeon 8060S. These minimal differences suggest that the RTX 4080 SUPER’s performance in Ready Or Not is representative of its class, and the measured frame rates are unlikely to vary significantly with a different GPU from this performance tier.

The 16 GB VRAM capacity is more than sufficient for Ready Or Not at any resolution, as the game’s texture requirements are unlikely to exceed this amount even at 4K Ultra. The GDDR6X memory type and 736.3 GB/s bandwidth ensure that texture streaming is not a bottleneck, which is evident from the consistent frame rates across all tested presets. The GPU’s 80 RT cores and 320 tensor cores do not appear to provide a specific advantage in this game, as the measured FPS does not show disproportionate gains at higher settings that would indicate ray tracing or DLSS utilization.

The GPU’s role is most apparent when examining the difference between 1080p and 4K at the same settings. For example, at High settings, the frame rate drops from 370 FPS at 1080p to 122 FPS at 4K, a 67% reduction. This is a direct consequence of the GPU’s pixel processing workload increasing by a factor of 4, and the RTX 4080 SUPER’s performance scaling reflects its architecture’s efficiency. The fact that 4K High still achieves 122 FPS indicates that this GPU is well-suited for high-resolution gaming in Ready Or Not, and users with 4K displays will experience smooth gameplay without needing to compromise on settings.
