Ready Or Not

Resolution Scaling

The measured frames per second across the three tested resolutions tells a clear story about where this system's bottlenecks lie. At 1920x1080 with High settings, the AMD Ryzen 7 5700 and Intel Arc B370 combination produces 89 FPS average. Moving to 2560x1440 drops that to 56 FPS, a 37% reduction. The jump to 3840x2160 yields just 29 FPS, another 48% cut from the 1440p result. This scaling pattern is steep — nearly halving at each step — which points to the GPU being the primary constraint as pixel count rises.

The gap between Low and Ultra settings widens dramatically at higher resolutions. At 1080p, the spread from Low (113 FPS) to Ultra (63 FPS) is 50 FPS. At 1440p, that spread narrows to 31 FPS (71 to 40). At 4K, the spread compresses further to just 16 FPS (37 to 21). This compression at 4K suggests the GPU is so heavily loaded that even dropping from Ultra to Low cannot double the frame rate — the silicon simply runs out of throughput regardless of settings.

What the data implies is a system where the CPU has ample headroom at lower resolutions, but the GPU becomes the limiting factor as resolution climbs. The 1080p Low result of 113 FPS shows the CPU can feed frames well past 100, but the 4K Low result of 37 FPS reveals the GPU cannot sustain even modest frame rates when pixel count quadruples. The measured Medium preset at 4K shows 32 FPS average with a minimum of 28 and maximum of 37, indicating the frame time variance remains tight even when the average is low. This suggests the bottleneck is consistent rather than spiky — the GPU is steadily saturated, not intermittently stalling.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 7 5700 brings eight cores and sixteen threads to this tactical shooter, with base and boost clocks of 3.70 GHz and 4.60 GHz respectively. The 5000 series processor uses the Zen 3 architecture on TSMC's 7 nm process, with a 16 MB L3 cache and dual-channel DDR4 memory support. Its benchmark profile shows strong multithreaded capability: Cinebench R23 multicore scores 20,655 points, while the single-core test reaches 2,916. Geekbench results follow a similar pattern with 9,959 multicore and 1,907 single-core.

The CPU's percentile ranking against all processors sits at 78, meaning it outperforms a substantial majority of CPUs in the database. Its nearest rivals illustrate the competitive landscape: the Intel Xeon D-2752TER scores 25,530 average versus the Ryzen's 25,517, a negligible 0.1% difference. The AMD Ryzen 5 7640U comes in at 25,485 (0.1% behind), while the Ryzen 5 6600H hits 25,550 (0.1% ahead). The closest peer is the AMD Ryzen 7 5825U at 25,446, with the 5700 leading by 0.3%.

For Ready Or Not, the CPU's role seems to be delivering consistent frame pacing rather than pushing raw maximums. The 1080p Low setting reaches 113 FPS average, which is respectable but not exceptionally high for a modern octa-core. The 3dmark results show the processor scaling from 901 single-thread to 6,617 max-thread, indicating good utilization of its sixteen threads. In a game that involves AI teammates, enemy AI, and multiple simultaneous events, the thread count likely helps maintain stability, but the data suggests the GPU, not the CPU, is the limiting factor even at 1080p.

GPU Role

The Intel Arc B370 is a fascinating entry in this benchmark database. It uses the Panther Lake chip with Xe3-LPG architecture on Intel's 3 nm process, and it operates as an integrated graphics processor (IGP) with system-shared memory. The GPU has 1,280 shading units, 40 texture mapping units, and 20 raster output units, along with 10 ray tracing cores. Its boost clock reaches 2400 MHz from a base of 300 MHz, producing 6.144 TFLOPS of FP32 performance and a pixel rate of 48.00 GPixel/s.

The GPU's benchmark presence is minimal — only the 3dmark Steel Nomad DX12 test is recorded, with a score of 1,184. Its percentile ranking against all GPUs is just 5, placing it in the bottom tier. The nearest rivals are equally dated: the ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5570 scores 1,186 (0.2% ahead), the ATI Radeon HD 5770 hits 1,190 (0.5% ahead), and the AMD Radeon HD 7650M reaches 1,192 (0.7% ahead). Only the AMD FirePro M2000 trails, at 1,168, with the B370 leading by 1.4%.

This GPU profile explains the measured FPS results. At 4K Ultra, the system manages just 21 FPS average. The texture rate of 96.00 GTexel/s and 6.144 TFLOPS are simply insufficient for high-resolution rendering with maximum quality settings. The system-shared memory means bandwidth is "System Dependent," which likely contributes to the steep scaling curve. The fact that 4K Low only reaches 37 FPS — while 1080p Low hits 113 FPS — demonstrates that the GPU's raw compute capacity cannot handle the pixel throughput demanded by 3840x2160, regardless of how much load is removed from the render pipeline.

The GPU's DirectX 12 Ultimate support and Vulkan 1.4 compatibility are modern, but the hardware underneath is clearly entry-level. The 3dmark score of 1,184 against a 5th percentile ranking places this graphics solution in a class where 1080p gaming at moderate settings is the realistic ceiling, and the measured data confirms this assessment.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The complete dataset for Ready Or Not with this hardware configuration spans three resolutions and four settings presets.

At 3840x2160, the results are consistently below playable thresholds. Low settings produce 37 FPS average. Medium improves slightly to 32 FPS, with a recorded minimum of 28 and maximum of 37. High settings drop to 29 FPS. Ultra is the worst at 21 FPS. The progression from Low to Ultra shows a 43% performance penalty, from 37 down to 21 FPS.

The 2560x1440 results offer more headroom. Low settings reach 71 FPS average. Medium delivers 62 FPS with a range of 53 to 71 FPS. High settings hit 56 FPS. Ultra falls to 40 FPS. The spread from Low to Ultra is 31 FPS, or a 44% reduction. These numbers suggest 1440p is viable for lower settings, but Ultra remains demanding.

At 1920x1080, the system shows its best performance. Low settings achieve 113 FPS average, which is the highest measured result in the entire dataset. Medium produces 98 FPS with a minimum of 83 and maximum of 113. High settings reach 89 FPS. Ultra drops to 63 FPS. The Low-to-Ultra penalty here is 50 FPS, or a 44% reduction — the same relative drop as at 1440p, but with a higher absolute floor.

The Medium preset at each resolution provides the only min/max data in the dataset. At 1080p, the 83 to 113 range shows a 30 FPS spread. At 1440p, the 53 to 71 range shows an 18 FPS spread. At 4K, the 28 to 37 range shows just a 9 FPS spread. This narrowing suggests that as resolution increases, the GPU becomes so consistently saturated that frame time variance shrinks, even though average FPS drops.

Settings Recommendations

The measured data points toward a clear conclusion: this combination is best suited for 1080p gaming. At 1920x1080, the Low preset delivers 113 FPS, which is the smoothest experience in the dataset. Medium follows at 98 FPS with a minimum of 83, ensuring that frame drops stay above common 60 FPS thresholds. High reaches 89 FPS, still comfortably above 60. Ultra at 63 FPS is playable but leaves little margin for demanding scenes.

For 1440p users, the picture changes. Low at 71 FPS is the only preset that maintains a comfortable margin above 60 FPS. Medium at 62 FPS is borderline — the 53 FPS minimum indicates dips below 60 are possible. High at 56 FPS and Ultra at 40 FPS fall short of smooth gameplay. The recommendation is clear: if playing at 2560x1440, Low or Medium are the only viable choices.

At 4K, no preset achieves 60 FPS. Low at 37 FPS and Medium at 32 FPS are the best options, but both fall well short of standard playability targets. The data suggests this resolution is not practical for this hardware in Ready Or Not. The steep scaling from 1080p to 4K — a 67% drop from 113 to 37 FPS at Low settings — confirms the GPU cannot handle the pixel load.

The optimal experience per the measured rows is 1080p Medium. At 98 FPS average with a minimum of 83, it provides smooth gameplay with some visual quality improvements over Low. The 113 FPS of Low is marginally better for competitive play, but Medium offers a better balance of fidelity and performance. For players prioritizing maximum smoothness, 1080p Low is the safest choice given its highest average and the absence of recorded dips.

How This Combo Ranks

The Ready Or Not benchmark places this hardware combination at rank 2,710 out of 2,947 tested combos. This puts it in the bottom 8% of all configurations in the database. The ranking reflects the GPU's severe limitation — the Intel Arc B370's 5th percentile standing drags down what is otherwise a capable CPU.

The CPU alone would not explain this poor ranking. The Ryzen 7 5700 sits at the 78th percentile among all processors, with benchmark scores that place it within 0.3% of several rivals. Its multithreaded performance of 20,655 in Cinebench R23 and 9,959 in Geekbench multicore are respectable figures. The processor is not the weak link.

The GPU tells a different story. With a 5th percentile ranking and a single benchmark score of 1,184, the Arc B370 is positioned among the weakest graphics solutions in the database. Its nearest rivals are all legacy AMD/ATI parts from over a decade ago. The 6.144 TFLOPS FP32 throughput and 20 ROPs are simply not designed for demanding modern titles at high resolutions.

The combination rank of 2,710 out of 2,947 suggests that most other tested configurations — even those with lower-end CPUs — likely outperform this system in Ready Or Not because they pair those CPUs with more capable discrete GPUs. The data implies that the Arc B370, despite its modern architecture and feature set, cannot compensate for its limited raw compute resources. The 1080p results prove the system can play the game, but the overall ranking reflects how far behind the pack this GPU places the entire combination.
