Interestingly, the AMD EPYC 9474F scores 25,103, which is 0.4% ahead.

The CPU's role in Ready Or Not is evident from the scaling pattern across resolutions. At 1080p Low, the system produces 553 FPS, which approaches the limits of what the CPU can feed to the GPU. The 449 FPS at 1080p High still shows significant CPU involvement. However, as resolution increases to 1440p and 4K, the GPU becomes the primary limiting factor, with FPS dropping to 284 and 148 respectively at High settings. This indicates the 8400F provides sufficient single-thread performance for the game's main logic while the GPU handles the increasing pixel workload.

How This Combo Ranks

The combination of AMD Ryzen 5 8400F and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 D achieves rank 33 out of 2,947 tested combos in Ready Or Not. This places the configuration in the top 1.1% of all tested pairings, a remarkable position that reflects the GPU's dominance in this title. The rank suggests that only 32 other combinations produced higher measured average FPS across the tested scenarios.

Given that the RTX 5090 D's nearest GPU rivals in the database are mid-range mobile parts like the RX 6650M XT and RX 6850M XT, the rank is likely driven more by the raw performance ceiling of the 5090 D than by the CPU's contribution. The CPU's 77th percentile ranking among all CPUs means many processors outperform it, yet the combo still reaches 33rd place due to the GPU's massive headroom.

The rank of 33 out of 2,947 implies that the configuration sits well above the median performance for Ready Or Not. The data shows that even at 4K Ultra, the system maintains 104 FPS average, which is well above playable thresholds. At 1440p High, the 284 FPS average places this combo in enthusiast territory, capable of driving high-refresh-rate monitors without compromise.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The measured FPS data covers three resolutions (1920x1080, 2560x1440, 3840x2160) and four settings levels (Low, Medium, High, Ultra), providing twelve distinct data points. At 1080p, the average FPS ranges from 316 at Ultra to 553 at Low. Medium settings produce 494 FPS with a minimum of 420 and maximum of 568, while High delivers 449 FPS. The 1080p results show diminishing returns as settings decrease: the gap between Ultra and High is 133 FPS, between High and Medium is 45 FPS, and between Medium and Low is 59 FPS.

At 1440p, the average FPS values are 199 at Ultra, 284 at High, 312 at Medium, and 358 at Low. The Medium setting records a minimum of 265 FPS and maximum of 359 FPS. The scaling from 1080p to 1440p shows a consistent reduction: Ultra drops from 316 to 199 (63% retained), High from 449 to 284 (63% retained), Medium from 494 to 312 (63% retained), and Low from 553 to 358 (65% retained).

At 4K, the average FPS values are 104 at Ultra, 148 at High, 163 at Medium, and 187 at Low. The Medium setting shows a minimum of 139 and maximum of 187. The reduction from 1440p to 4K is more severe: Ultra retains 52% of 1440p performance, High retains 52%, Medium retains 52%, and Low retains 52%. This consistent scaling pattern across all settings indicates that the GPU is the primary bottleneck at 4K, with the CPU playing a lesser role.

Settings Recommendations

Analyzing the measured FPS data, the Medium preset at any resolution provides the best balance of visual quality and performance headroom. At 1080p Medium, the system delivers 494 FPS average with a minimum of 420 FPS, ensuring smooth gameplay even in intense firefights with multiple AI enemies. The 420 FPS minimum is still far above any display refresh rate, making this setting ideal for competitive play.

At 1440p Medium, the 312 FPS average with 265 FPS minimum remains exceptionally smooth, and the visual upgrade from 1080p is substantial. The 265 FPS minimum ensures that even the most demanding scenes with smoke, explosions, and numerous NPCs maintain fluid motion. This resolution and setting combination is recommended for players with 144Hz or 240Hz monitors who want both high frame rates and improved image clarity.

For 4K displays, the High preset at 148 FPS average represents the best visual experience while maintaining triple-digit frame rates. The Medium preset at 163 FPS offers a slight performance boost but the visual difference between Medium and High in Ready Or Not's detailed environments is noticeable. Ultra at 104 FPS is playable but approaches the threshold where frame pacing can become inconsistent during heavy action sequences.

The data suggests that players should prioritize Medium or High settings rather than Ultra, as the performance cost of Ultra is disproportionate to the visual gains. At 1440p, the jump from High (284 FPS) to Ultra (199 FPS) costs 85 FPS, a 30% reduction, while the visual improvement is typically subtle in this tactical shooter.

Resolution Scaling

The FPS scaling from 1080p to 4K reveals the performance characteristics of this pairing. At High settings, the system produces 449 FPS at 1080p, 284 FPS at 1440p, and 148 FPS at 4K. The retention rates are 63% from 1080p to 1440p and 52% from 1440p to 4K. This pattern holds consistently across all settings levels, suggesting a GPU-bound scenario at higher resolutions.

The scaling from 1080p to 1440p shows that the GPU's pixel throughput is the limiting factor, as the 1.78x increase in pixel count (from 2.07 million to 3.69 million pixels) results in a 37% reduction in frame rate. Similarly, the jump from 1440p to 4K (3.69 million to 8.29 million pixels, a 2.25x increase) produces a 48% reduction in frame rate. These figures align with the RTX 5090 D's pixel rate of 423.6 GPixel/s, which becomes the primary constraint at higher resolutions.

At 1080p, the CPU's role becomes more prominent. The 553 FPS at Low settings suggests that the Ryzen 5 8400F's single-thread performance (951 in 3DMark single-thread, 2,943 in Cinebench R23 single-core) is sufficient to drive frame rates well beyond typical display refresh rates. However, the gap between 1080p Low (553 FPS) and 1080p Ultra (316 FPS) is 237 FPS, indicating that even at 1080p, the GPU still exerts significant influence on performance.

The data indicates that this system is GPU-limited at 1440p and above, while at 1080p, the CPU becomes a more significant factor. Players seeking maximum frame rates should use 1080p with Medium or Low settings, while those prioritizing visual fidelity should opt for 1440p High or 4K High, depending on their display's native resolution and refresh rate capabilities.
