Ready Or Not

The AMD Ryzen 7 5700G paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 delivers exceptionally high frame rates in Ready Or Not, positioning this combination in the 93rd percentile of tested systems. The data reveals a configuration where the GPU is the primary scaling factor across resolutions, while the CPU provides sufficient headroom at lower settings. This analysis breaks down the measured performance data to clarify how each component contributes to the overall experience.

Resolution Scaling

The measured FPS data shows a clear and predictable decline as resolution increases from 1920x1080 to 3840x2160, with the magnitude of the drop varying by settings preset. At Ultra settings, the average frame rate falls from 261 FPS at 1080p to 165 FPS at 1440p (a 37% reduction), then further to 86 FPS at 4K (a 48% reduction from 1440p). This substantial scaling at Ultra indicates that the game becomes increasingly GPU-bound at higher resolutions, as the RTX 4080’s rendering workload grows with pixel count.

At High settings, the scaling pattern is similar but slightly less severe. The average drops from 372 FPS at 1080p to 235 FPS at 1440p (37% lower) and then to 123 FPS at 4K (48% lower than 1440p). The consistent percentage drops across High and Ultra suggest that the relative performance ceiling is set by the GPU’s compute and memory throughput, not by any CPU limitation at these settings. The fact that 4K Ultra (86 FPS) is less than half of 1080p Ultra (261 FPS) reinforces this interpretation.

Low and Medium settings exhibit even more dramatic scaling, which points to a different bottleneck profile. At Low, the average FPS drops from 469 at 1080p to 296 at 1440p (37% lower) and then to 155 at 4K (48% lower than 1440p). At Medium, the same pattern holds: 409 at 1080p, 258 at 1440p (37% lower), and 135 at 4K (48% lower). The near-identical percentage reductions across all four presets suggest that resolution scaling is governed by the GPU’s pixel throughput, which is consistent across settings. The RTX 4080’s 280.6 GPixel/s pixel rate and 716.8 GB/s memory bandwidth are the likely limiting factors as resolution increases.

Interestingly, the gap between Low and Ultra widens as resolution increases. At 1080p, Ultra is 44% slower than Low (261 vs 469 FPS). At 4K, Ultra is 45% slower than Low (86 vs 155 FPS). This relatively stable gap indicates that the settings presets impose a consistent additional load on the GPU, independent of resolution. The data suggests that Ready Or Not is heavily GPU-bound across all measured configurations, with the CPU rarely becoming the primary constraint.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 is the dominant component in this pairing, and its specifications align closely with the observed frame rates. Built on the Ada Lovelace architecture with a 5 nm process, the GPU features 9728 shading units, 304 texture mapping units, and 112 raster output pipelines. Its boost clock of 2505 MHz and base clock of 2205 MHz provide the raw compute throughput needed to sustain high FPS even at 4K resolution.

The GPU’s 16 GB of GDDR6X memory on a 256-bit bus delivers 716.8 GB/s of bandwidth, which is critical for a tactical shooter with detailed environments. The measured 4K Ultra average of 86 FPS indicates that the GPU is working near its limits at this setting, as the gap between 4K High (123 FPS) and 4K Ultra (86 FPS) represents a 30% performance penalty for the highest preset. This penalty is a direct consequence of the increased shading and texture work at Ultra, which leverages the GPU’s 48.74 TFLOPS of FP32 compute.

The RTX 4080’s benchmark scores place it in the 86th percentile of all GPUs, with an average benchmark score of 54247. Its nearest rival, the RTX 4080 SUPER, scores 54209, which is 0.1% lower, indicating that the standard 4080 is essentially performance-equivalent to its Super counterpart in synthetic tests. The data shows that the GPU’s 304 tensor cores and 76 RT cores contribute to its overall capability, though Ready Or Not’s measured results do not isolate ray tracing effects.

At 1080p Low, the GPU produces 469 FPS average, which is close to the practical ceiling for most displays. This high frame rate suggests that the GPU is not fully saturated at this resolution and settings combination, leaving headroom for the CPU to become a secondary factor. However, the consistent scaling pattern across all resolutions indicates that the GPU remains the primary driver of performance, with its memory bandwidth and pixel rate defining the upper bounds of FPS at each setting.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 7 5700G provides the processing foundation for this combo, featuring 8 cores and 16 threads based on the Zen 3 architecture. With a base clock of 3.80 GHz and a boost clock of 4.60 GHz, this CPU delivers solid single-threaded and multi-threaded performance for gaming workloads. Its 16 MB of L3 cache and 51.2 GB/s memory bandwidth are adequate for feeding the RTX 4080 at high frame rates.

The CPU’s benchmark results show a multithread score of 24419 in PassMark and a Cinebench R23 multicore score of 12830.5, placing it in the 79th percentile of all CPUs. Its nearest rival, the Intel Core i9-9900K, scores 27097, which is 0.2% higher, making the 5700G essentially equivalent in average benchmark performance. This parity suggests that the CPU is not a bottleneck in most gaming scenarios, particularly at higher resolutions where the GPU dominates.

In Ready Or Not, the CPU’s role becomes more apparent at lower resolutions and settings. At 1080p Low, the average FPS of 469 is significantly higher than at 4K Low (155 FPS), indicating that the CPU can drive frame rates well above what the GPU can render at higher resolutions. The 16 threads of the 5700G are sufficient to handle the game’s AI and physics simulations, as evidenced by the smooth scaling from 1080p to 1440p at all settings. The 3dmark_16_threads score of 6629 and 3dmark_single_thread score of 899 suggest balanced performance across both multi-threaded and single-threaded workloads.

The CPU’s 65 W TDP and 7 nm process make it an efficient choice, though its PCIe Gen 3 interface could theoretically limit data transfer to the GPU. However, the measured FPS data shows no obvious stall points, indicating that the PCIe Gen 3 bandwidth is sufficient for this game’s asset streaming. The CPU’s 8 cores and 16 threads provide a solid foundation, and the data shows that it does not become the primary limiter until frame rates exceed 400 FPS, which occurs only at 1080p Low.
