Ready Or Not

The AMD Ryzen 7 3700X paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 delivers a wide range of performance in Ready Or Not, from a very smooth 224.4 FPS average at 1080p High to a demanding 53.1 FPS average at 4K Ultra. The data indicates a system that is well-balanced at 1440p, where High settings produce a 143.8 FPS average, but becomes increasingly GPU-limited as resolution and graphical fidelity rise.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 is the primary driver of frame rates in Ready Or Not, especially as resolution and settings increase. The GPU features 8 GB of GDDR7 memory on a 128-bit bus, providing a memory bandwidth of 448.0 GB/s. This memory configuration is a critical factor at 4K, where the demands on the frame buffer are highest.

The GPU's clock speeds, with a base of 2280 MHz and a boost of 2497 MHz, provide the raw processing power needed for the game's tactical scenarios. The benchmark results show that the RTX 5060's performance scales predictably with the workload. At 1080p, the GPU is not the limiting factor, as even the Ultra preset achieves a 154.7 FPS average. However, the transition to 4K reveals the GPU's limits.

The data shows a clear progression at 4K: Low settings produce a 93.5 FPS average, Medium drops to 81.9 FPS, High to 72.9 FPS, and Ultra falls to 53.1 FPS. This 40.4 FPS difference between Low and Ultra at 4K highlights that the RTX 5060's 8 GB VRAM and 448.0 GB/s bandwidth are sufficient for the game but are taxed heavily by the highest detail settings. The GPU's general performance percentile of 73, with an average benchmark score of 30109, places it in a capable tier, but the 4K Ultra result confirms it is not a high-end 4K card for this title.

Resolution Scaling

The FPS data from Ready Or Not shows how the system's performance is bound by different components at different resolutions. At 1920x1080, the frame rates are exceptionally high, ranging from a 281.7 FPS average on Low to a 154.7 FPS average on Ultra. This suggests that at 1080p, the CPU, with its 8 cores and 16 threads, is capable of feeding the GPU enough data to achieve these high numbers, and the GPU is not saturated.

Moving to 2560x1440, the frame rates remain very strong but begin to show the GPU's influence. The average FPS drops by a consistent margin across settings. For example, High settings go from 224.4 FPS at 1080p to 143.8 FPS at 1440p, a reduction of 80.6 FPS. This scaling indicates a shift toward GPU limitation, but the system still delivers excellent performance, with the lowest 1440p result being 102.2 FPS on Ultra.

The transition to 3840x2160 is the most telling. The frame rates drop dramatically, with the High preset falling to 72.9 FPS. The difference between 1440p High (143.8 FPS) and 4K High (72.9 FPS) is a 70.9 FPS reduction. This steep decline, combined with the fact that the 4K Ultra preset only manages a 53.1 FPS average, strongly indicates that the RTX 5060 is the primary limiting component at this resolution. The CPU's role becomes less significant as the GPU is overwhelmed by the pixel count and shading complexity.

Settings Recommendations

The measured data provides a clear guide for optimizing the experience in Ready Or Not. At 1920x1080, the Ultra preset is the best choice, as it delivers a 154.7 FPS average, which is far above the threshold for smooth gameplay. The visual uplift from High (224.4 FPS) to Ultra (154.7 FPS) is worth the performance cost, given the surplus of frame rate available.

For 2560x1440, the High preset is the recommended balance. It produces a 143.8 FPS average, which is excellent for a tactical shooter. While Ultra also performs well at 102.2 FPS, the drop from High to Ultra is significant (41.6 FPS). Choosing High allows for a higher and more stable frame rate, which is beneficial for competitive play. The Medium preset at 156.4 FPS offers even more headroom, but the visual compromise is likely unnecessary given the strong High performance.

At 3840x2160, the situation changes. The Low preset (93.5 FPS) is the only setting that provides a frame rate above 60 FPS. The Medium preset (81.9 FPS) and High preset (72.9 FPS) are still playable but require a tolerance for lower frame rates. The Ultra preset at 53.1 FPS is not recommended for a consistently smooth experience. For 4K, the data suggests that sacrificing visual quality for a higher frame rate is the best strategy, with Low or Medium providing the most fluid gameplay.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The following data represents the average FPS measured for the AMD Ryzen 7 3700X and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 combination in Ready Or Not.

1920x1080:

• Low: 281.7 FPS
• Medium: 245.6 FPS
• High: 224.4 FPS
• Ultra: 154.7 FPS

2560x1440:

• Low: 180.2 FPS
• Medium: 156.4 FPS
• High: 143.8 FPS
• Ultra: 102.2 FPS

3840x2160:

• Low: 93.5 FPS
• Medium: 81.9 FPS
• High: 72.9 FPS
• Ultra: 53.1 FPS

The data shows a consistent performance hierarchy across all resolutions, with Low being the fastest and Ultra being the slowest. The scaling from 1080p to 1440p is relatively linear, but the jump to 4K introduces a substantial performance penalty. This combo ranks 852nd out of 1748 tested combinations for this game, indicating it is in the upper-middle tier of performance.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 7 3700X provides the foundation for this system's performance. With 8 cores and 16 threads, it offers substantial multi-threading capability, reflected in its Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 19087. Its base clock of 3.60 GHz and boost clock of 4.40 GHz ensure strong single-thread performance, evidenced by a Cinebench R23 single-core score of 2694.

In Ready Or Not, the CPU's role is most apparent at 1080p, where the high frame rates (281.7 FPS on Low) are only possible if the processor can handle the game's simulation and AI logic. The Ryzen 7 3700X, with its Zen 2 architecture, demonstrates it can keep up with the RTX 5060 at this resolution, as frame rates are not bottlenecked.

The CPU's influence diminishes as resolution increases. At 4K, the GPU becomes the primary bottleneck, and the CPU's performance is less critical to the final frame rate. The processor's general performance, which is in the 85th percentile of all CPUs, is nearly identical to the Intel Core i5-12600 (28654 average score, -0.1% delta). This indicates that the Ryzen 7 3700X is a solid mid-range performer that pairs well with the RTX 5060, ensuring that the GPU is the main factor in performance scaling from 1080p to 4K. The CPU's 32 MB of L3 cache likely helps in maintaining stable frame pacing in the game's complex environments.
