Ready Or Not

# Ready Or Not with AMD Ryzen 7 5700G + NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080

This pairing places a Zen 3-based 8-core processor alongside an Ampere flagship GPU, and the measured results show a system that is overwhelmingly GPU-limited at higher resolutions but capable of extreme frame rates at 1080p. The data indicates the RTX 3080 carries the load in Ready Or Not, with the 5700G providing sufficient headroom to avoid becoming a bottleneck until frame rates climb past the 300 FPS mark. This combination ranks 1067th out of 3714 tested combos in this game, placing it in the upper third of all systems measured.

Resolution Scaling

The frame rate curve from 1080p to 4K reveals a classic GPU-bound scenario. At High settings, the system delivers 279 FPS at 1920x1080, drops to 176 FPS at 2560x1440, and settles at 92 FPS at 3840x2160. That represents a 37% performance loss when moving from 1080p to 1440p, and another 48% loss from 1440p to 4K. The scaling is nearly linear with pixel count, which is the signature of a GPU-limited workload — the RTX 3080 is doing the heavy lifting, and its 10 GB of GDDR6X memory and 760.3 GB/s bandwidth are being taxed progressively harder as resolution increases.

At Low settings, the pattern intensifies. The 5700G + RTX 3080 combo hits 352 FPS at 1080p, 222 FPS at 1440p, and 116 FPS at 4K. The 1080p-to-1440p drop is 37%, while 1440p-to-4K drops another 48%. Interestingly, the percentage drops are identical to High settings, which suggests the game's rendering pipeline scales consistently regardless of quality level. The absolute deltas are larger at Low settings — 130 FPS lost from 1080p to 1440p — but the relative scaling remains stable.

The most telling indicator comes from the Ultra preset. At 4K Ultra, the system manages 65 FPS, which is 29% slower than 4K High. At 1080p Ultra, it produces 196 FPS, which is 30% slower than 1080p High. This consistent 30% penalty for Ultra over High across resolutions points to the RTX 3080's shading units and ROPs being the limiting factor, not the CPU. The 5700G's 8 cores and 16 threads are clearly not the constraint here — if they were, the Ultra penalty would shrink at higher resolutions where the GPU is more stressed.

GPU Role

The RTX 3080 is the dominant component in this pairing for Ready Or Not. Its GA102 chip, built on Samsung's 8 nm process, packs 8,704 shading units, 272 texture mapping units, and 96 ROPs. The boost clock of 1710 MHz, combined with 68 ray tracing cores and 272 tensor cores, gives this card substantial compute headroom. The measured frame rates confirm this: even at 4K High, the system produces 92 FPS, which is well above playable thresholds for a tactical shooter.

Memory configuration matters here. The 10 GB GDDR6X frame buffer runs at 19 Gbps effective across a 320-bit bus, yielding 760.3 GB/s of bandwidth. At 4K Ultra, the game demands enough memory and bandwidth that the card drops to 65 FPS — still playable, but the 29% penalty versus High settings suggests the frame buffer and bandwidth are being pushed hard. The pixel rate of 164.2 GPixel/s and texture rate of 465.1 GTexel/s are the specs that determine how quickly the card can fill and shade those 4K pixels, and the data shows they are sufficient for High settings but strained by Ultra.

The GPU's benchmark profile places it in the 68th percentile of all GPUs, with an average benchmark score of 23,172. Its nearest rival, the NVIDIA P106-100, scores 23,249 for a delta of -0.3%, while the AMD Radeon RX 6600M scores 23,273 for a delta of -0.4%. These are essentially identical scores, meaning the RTX 3080's performance in synthetic tests is right at the median of its immediate competitive set. In Ready Or Not specifically, the card's real-world results are strong, but the Ultra preset clearly represents a step too far for smooth 4K play.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 7 5700G provides the computational backbone for this system, and its role in Ready Or Not is secondary but not negligible. This 8-core, 16-thread processor runs at a base clock of 3.80 GHz and boosts to 4.60 GHz, built on TSMC's 7 nm process with 10,700 million transistors. Its 16 MB of L3 cache and 51.2 GB/s of dual-channel DDR4 memory bandwidth are adequate for feeding the RTX 3080, and the data supports this — the CPU does not become a bottleneck until frame rates exceed roughly 300 FPS.

At 1080p Low, the system produces 352 FPS. This is where the 5700G's single-thread performance starts to matter. Its Cinebench R23 single-core score of 1,494 and Geekbench single-core score of 1,894 indicate solid IPC from the Zen 3 architecture, but the game's engine is clearly not CPU-limited at these frame rates. The 3DMark single-thread score of 899 and 2-thread score of 1,758 suggest that the game's primary thread is well-served, but the real proof is in the resolution scaling: if the CPU were the limit, we would see similar FPS across resolutions at Low settings. Instead, 4K Low (116 FPS) is 67% slower than 1080p Low (352 FPS), confirming the GPU is the constraint.

The CPU's overall benchmark position is the 79th percentile, with an average score of 27,051. Its nearest rival, the Intel Core i9-9900K, scores 27,097 for a delta of -0.2%, while the AMD Ryzen AI 7 445 scores 26,936 for a delta of 0.4%. This places the 5700G in a tight pack of processors with nearly identical synthetic performance. In multi-threaded workloads, its Cinebench R23 multicore score of 12,830.5 and Passmark multithread score of 24,419 show it can handle background tasks while gaming, but for Ready Or Not specifically, the CPU's role is to stay out of the way — and it does.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the system delivers exceptional frame rates across all settings. Low produces 352 FPS average, Medium 307 FPS (with a minimum of 261 and maximum of 353), High 279 FPS, and Ultra 196 FPS. The gap between Low and Ultra is 44%, which is substantial but expected given the visual fidelity difference. Even at Ultra, 196 FPS is far beyond what most displays can show, making this resolution entirely GPU-bound and overkill for competitive play.

Moving to 2560x1440, the frame rates remain high but start to show the GPU's workload. Low yields 222 FPS, Medium 193 FPS (minimum 164, maximum 222), High 176 FPS, and Ultra 124 FPS. The Medium preset's minimum of 164 FPS is important — it shows that even in demanding scenes, the system stays above 144 Hz at this resolution. At Ultra, the 124 FPS average is still smooth, but the 30% penalty versus High (176 FPS) is more noticeable. This resolution is the sweet spot for the RTX 3080, balancing visual quality with high refresh rates.

At 3840x2160, the system remains playable but the Ultra preset struggles. Low produces 116 FPS, Medium 101 FPS (minimum 86, maximum 116), High 92 FPS, and Ultra 65 FPS. The Medium preset's 86 FPS minimum means even in the most demanding scenes, the game stays above 60 FPS. High at 92 FPS is also solid. Ultra at 65 FPS is technically playable, but the 29% drop from High makes it a questionable trade for the visual gains. The data clearly shows that 4K Ultra pushes the 10 GB frame buffer and 760.3 GB/s bandwidth to their limits.

A: The combination ranks 1067th out of 3714 tested combos, placing it in the 71st percentile of all systems. This is a strong position, though not elite. The RTX 3080's 68th percentile GPU ranking and the 5700G's 79th percentile CPU ranking combine to produce a system that handles this game well at every resolution except 4K Ultra.

Settings Recommendations

For 4K displays, the High preset at 92 FPS is the best balance of visual quality and performance. Ultra drops to 65 FPS, which is a 29% penalty for marginal visual gains. Medium at 101 FPS is a viable alternative if you want extra headroom, especially with a minimum of 86 FPS ensuring no drops below 60 FPS.

For 1440p, the High preset at 176 FPS is excellent for both visual fidelity and smoothness. Ultra at 124 FPS is also viable if you have a 120 Hz or 144 Hz display and want maximum quality. The Medium preset's 193 FPS average with a 164 FPS minimum makes it the pick for players who prioritize frame rate consistency above all else.

For 1080p, the Ultra preset at 196 FPS is the recommended choice. Even at maximum settings, the frame rate remains far above 144 Hz, and the 30% penalty versus High (279 FPS) is irrelevant when you are already at nearly 200 FPS. If you are using a 360 Hz monitor for competitive play, the Low preset at 352 FPS or Medium at 307 FPS will maximize your refresh rate advantage.

The Ultra preset is only worth considering at 1080p. At 1440p and 4K, the 30% performance cost is too steep for the visual improvements it provides. The system's best overall experience is 1440p High, delivering 176 FPS with no recorded dips below 164 FPS in the Medium preset's data — a combination of high frame rates and strong visual quality that makes the most of both the 5700G's processing power and the RTX 3080's rendering capabilities.
