Ready Or Not

The AMD Ryzen 7 5700G paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 delivers a broad performance envelope in Ready Or Not, ranging from highly playable 4K Ultra to extremely high refresh rate 1080p. The measured data reveals a system where the GPU becomes the primary bottleneck at higher resolutions, while the CPU’s eight Zen 3 cores provide ample headroom at lower settings. This analysis breaks down the measured FPS across three resolutions and four quality presets, contextualizes the combo’s standing among 1,748 tested configurations, and examines the GPU’s role in shaping the experience.

Resolution Scaling

The transition from 1080p to 4K shows a pronounced and consistent performance drop, which is typical for a game where pixel count heavily taxes the renderer. At High settings, the average frame rate falls from 243.2 FPS at 1920x1080 to 149.8 FPS at 2560x1440, a reduction of roughly 38%. Moving further to 3840x2160, the average drops to 80.2 FPS, which is a 67% decline from the 1080p figure. This steep scaling curve indicates that the RTX 3070’s rendering throughput is the limiting factor as resolution increases, rather than the CPU.

The pattern is similar but slightly less severe at Low settings. The average FPS at 1080p Low is 304.9, falling to 188.9 at 1440p and then to 98.7 at 4K. The percentage drop from 1080p to 4K is about 68%, nearly identical to High settings. This suggests that even when graphical load is reduced, the GPU’s fill rate and memory bandwidth cap performance at higher resolutions. Notably, the difference between Low and High at 4K is only 18.5 FPS (98.7 vs 80.2), highlighting that the GPU is saturated regardless of preset.

At Ultra settings, the scaling is the most dramatic. The 1080p Ultra average is 169.3 FPS, which drops to 105.4 at 1440p and then plummets to 54.6 at 4K. The 4K Ultra result is less than a third of the 1080p Low figure, underscoring how the combination of high pixel count and intensive effects pushes the RTX 3070 to its limits. The data shows that for 4K gaming, only Low and Medium presets (98.7 and 84.5 FPS) approach smooth playability, while High and Ultra fall below the 80 FPS threshold.

Settings Recommendations

The measured rows provide a clear picture of which preset offers the best balance between visual quality and performance for this specific CPU-GPU combo. At 1080p, all presets exceed 169 FPS, meaning the user has complete freedom. The jump from Medium (267 FPS) to High (243.2 FPS) costs only 23.8 FPS, while the jump from High to Ultra (169.3 FPS) costs 73.9 FPS. For high refresh rate monitors, High is the recommended preset at 1080p, as it retains most of the visual fidelity while keeping the frame rate well above 240 FPS.

At 1440p, the recommendation shifts. High settings deliver 149.8 FPS, which is excellent for most displays. Medium sits at 169 FPS, offering a slight edge in smoothness. Ultra drops to 105.4 FPS, which is still playable but represents a significant 30% reduction from High. Given that High provides a 44.4 FPS advantage over Ultra while looking nearly as good in most scenes, High is the optimal choice for 1440p. Low settings at 1440p (188.9 FPS) are unnecessary unless targeting 165Hz or higher refresh rates.

At 4K, the choices are constrained. Ultra averages 54.6 FPS, which is below the standard 60 FPS target. High (80.2 FPS) and Medium (84.5 FPS) are both viable, with Medium offering a modest 4.3 FPS improvement over High. Low settings (98.7 FPS) provide the smoothest experience but sacrifice significant visual detail. For 4K, Medium is the recommended preset for a balanced experience, as it stays above 80 FPS while retaining more effects than Low. High is a close second if visual fidelity is prioritized over a few frames per second.

How This Combo Ranks

In the database of tested combinations, this pairing of the AMD Ryzen 7 5700G and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 ranks 822nd out of 1,748 combos in Ready Or Not. This places it in the upper-middle tier of all configurations, indicating that it is a capable but not top-tier setup for this title. The rank reflects the GPU’s position in the market; the RTX 3070 sits at the 72nd percentile among all GPUs, with an average benchmark score of 28,238. Its nearest rivals in GPU benchmarks include the AMD Radeon RX 6600 XT, which scores 27,985 (0.9% lower), and the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 980 Ti, which scores 27,956 (1.0% lower).

The CPU contributes to this ranking by being above average, sitting at the 83rd percentile among all CPUs with an average benchmark score of 25,626. Its nearest rivals include the AMD Ryzen 7 6800U (25,706, 0.3% higher) and the Intel Xeon D-2752TER (25,532, 0.4% lower). The CPU’s performance is not the limiting factor in this game, as evidenced by the high frame rates at 1080p. The combo’s rank of 822 out of 1,748 suggests that while many faster GPUs exist, this pairing is firmly in the "high refresh rate 1080p and solid 1440p" category, with 4K being a stretch at higher presets.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The complete set of measured results shows a consistent hierarchy across all settings and resolutions. At 1920x1080, Low settings produce an average of 304.9 FPS, followed by Medium at 267 FPS, High at 243.2 FPS, and Ultra at 169.3 FPS. The spread between Low and Ultra is 135.6 FPS, demonstrating that the RTX 3070 has substantial headroom at this resolution. The data indicates that even at Ultra, the frame rate is far above the refresh rate of most monitors, making 1080p a resolution where the GPU is rarely stressed.

At 2560x1440, the averages are 188.9 FPS (Low), 169 FPS (Medium), 149.8 FPS (High), and 105.4 FPS (Ultra). The relative gaps narrow compared to 1080p, with Low only 19.9 FPS ahead of Medium and High 44.4 FPS ahead of Ultra. This suggests that the GPU is beginning to feel the load, but the CPU still has enough throughput to maintain high frame rates. The 1440p results are strong, with even Ultra exceeding 100 FPS.

At 3840x2160, the averages drop sharply: 98.7 FPS (Low), 84.5 FPS (Medium), 80.2 FPS (High), and 54.6 FPS (Ultra). The difference between Low and High is only 18.5 FPS, while Ultra falls 25.6 FPS behind High. This compression of scores at 4K confirms that the GPU is the bottleneck, as changing settings has a diminished impact on performance. The data clearly shows that 4K Ultra is not viable for smooth gameplay, while 4K Low and Medium remain playable.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 is the dominant component in determining the frame rates at higher resolutions. It features 8 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 256-bit bus, providing a bandwidth of 448.0 GB/s. This memory configuration is sufficient for Ready Or Not at 1080p and 1440p, but at 4K, the 8 GB capacity and bandwidth become more strained, contributing to the steep performance drop. The GPU’s 5888 shading units and 96 ROPs deliver a pixel rate of 165.6 GPixel/s, which is a key factor in the 4K results.

The clocks are specified at a base of 1500 MHz and a boost of 1725 MHz. These clocks, combined with the Ampere architecture’s 20.31 TFLOPS of FP32 performance, allow the card to handle the game’s tactical shooter visuals efficiently at lower resolutions. The RTX 3070’s 46 RT cores and 184 tensor cores are present but are not directly measured in this data, as the FPS figures come from standard rasterization tests. The GPU’s average benchmark score of 28,238 places it at the 72nd percentile, and its nearest rival, the AMD Radeon RX 6600 XT, is only 0.9% slower on average.

The GPU’s role is clearly visible when comparing the 1080p and 4K results. At 1080p, the CPU, which has a boost clock of 4.60 GHz and 16 threads, can feed the GPU enough data to reach 304.9 FPS on Low. At 4K, the GPU’s fill rate limits the same CPU to 98.7 FPS on Low. This demonstrates that the RTX 3070 is the primary constraint in this pairing, and upgrading it would yield larger gains at 4K than a CPU upgrade would.
