Ready Or Not

CPU Role — cores, clocks, and how they relate to this game's results

The AMD Ryzen 7 5700G is an 8-core, 16-thread processor based on the Zen 3 architecture, running on the AM4 socket. It has a base clock of 3.80 GHz and a boost clock of 4.60 GHz, with a 65 W TDP. This processor sits in the 83rd percentile of all CPUs according to aggregate benchmark scores, with an average benchmark score of 25626. Its nearest rivals in overall CPU performance include the AMD Ryzen 7 6800U (0.3% slower), the Intel Xeon D-2752TER (0.4% faster), and the Intel Core 5 210H (0.5% faster), showing that the 5700G is positioned in a tightly contested performance band.

In synthetic multi-threaded tests, the 5700G scores 6629 in 3DMark’s 16-thread test and 6627 in the max-thread test, indicating that its thread scaling is nearly perfect from 16 to maximum threads. The Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 20755 reinforces that the processor can handle heavy parallel workloads, which is relevant for a tactical shooter like Ready Or Not where AI-driven enemy and civilian pathfinding, as well as physics calculations for ballistic impacts, can tax multiple cores simultaneously. The single-thread performance is also respectable, with a 3DMark single-thread score of 899 and a Cinebench R23 single-core score of 2930, ensuring that the game’s primary game logic thread is not starved.

However, the data shows that in this specific game, the CPU is rarely the limiting factor. At 1080p with Low settings, the combo produces 489.4 FPS average, which is an enormous frame rate that far exceeds the refresh rate of any mainstream monitor. Even at 4K Ultra, the average FPS is 91, which is still very playable. The benchmark results indicate that the 5700G’s 8 cores and 16 threads are sufficient to feed the GPU without causing a bottleneck in Ready Or Not, even at high frame rates. The processor’s 16 MB of L3 cache and dual-channel DDR4 memory support (with 51.2 GB/s bandwidth) provide adequate data throughput for this game’s map streaming and entity updates.

GPU Role — VRAM, clocks, and how they relate to this game's results

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5080 is the dominant component in this pairing. It is built on the Blackwell 2.0 architecture with a GB203 chip, fabricated on a 5 nm process at TSMC. The GPU has a base clock of 2295 MHz and a boost clock of 2617 MHz, with 16 GB of GDDR7 memory on a 256-bit bus, delivering 960.0 GB/s of memory bandwidth. It features 10752 shading units, 336 texture mapping units, and 112 ROPs, along with 84 ray tracing cores and 336 tensor cores. The GPU’s FP32 compute throughput is rated at 56.28 TFLOPS, and it has a 360 W TDP with a suggested 750 W power supply.

The RTX 5080 sits in the 89th percentile of all GPUs with an average benchmark score of 59188. Its nearest rivals in aggregate benchmarks include the Intel Arc A570M (1.6% slower) and the Intel Arc Pro A60 (1.9% faster), but these are mobile or workstation parts that do not directly compete in the desktop gaming segment. The GPU’s PassMark G3D score of 36565 and 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 8637 demonstrate its raw rasterization and compute capabilities.

In Ready Or Not, the GPU’s 16 GB of VRAM is more than sufficient for the game’s texture and geometry loads, even at 4K resolution with Ultra settings. The memory bandwidth of 960.0 GB/s ensures that high-resolution textures can be streamed quickly, which is crucial in a game where you may be moving through complex indoor environments with many distinct assets. The data shows that the RTX 5080 is the primary driver of performance scaling across settings: moving from Low to Ultra at 1080p drops the average FPS from 489.4 to 274.9, a clear indication that the GPU is doing the heavy lifting as graphical load increases. The GPU’s high boost clock and massive shader count allow it to maintain high frame rates even when the game’s lighting and shadow effects are fully enabled.

Resolution Scaling — how FPS drops from 1080p to 4K and what it says about the limiting component

The measured FPS data reveals a clear scaling pattern that identifies the GPU as the limiting component at higher resolutions. At 1080p High settings, the combo delivers 392 FPS average. Moving to 1440p High drops this to 249.3 FPS, a reduction of approximately 36%. At 4K High, the average FPS falls to 130.1, which is a further 48% drop from 1440p and a 67% drop from 1080p. This steep decline with increasing resolution is characteristic of a GPU-bound scenario, where the RTX 5080’s rendering workload grows with the number of pixels.

The same pattern holds across all settings presets. At Low settings, the frame rates are 489.4 FPS (1080p), 313.9 FPS (1440p), and 164.3 FPS (4K). At Ultra settings, they are 274.9 FPS (1080p), 173.2 FPS (1440p), and 91 FPS (4K). The relative drops from 1080p to 4K are consistent (roughly 66-67% reduction) regardless of the preset, which confirms that the GPU’s pixel throughput is the primary constraint. If the CPU were the bottleneck, we would expect the FPS to plateau at lower resolutions, but the data shows no such plateau — the frame rates continue to rise as resolution decreases, indicating that the Ryzen 7 5700G has ample headroom.

The data also shows that the gap between Low and Ultra settings narrows as resolution increases. At 1080p, Ultra is 43.8% slower than Low (274.9 vs 489.4 FPS). At 4K, Ultra is 44.6% slower than Low (91 vs 164.3 FPS). This suggests that the game’s higher settings add a proportional load that scales with resolution, reinforcing the GPU-bound nature of the workload. For a tactical shooter where situational awareness is key, the ability to maintain high frame rates at 1440p (249.3 FPS High) is excellent, while 4K Ultra at 91 FPS is still smooth enough for competitive play.

How This Combo Ranks — use comboRankInGame vs other tested combos

The combination of the AMD Ryzen 7 5700G and the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5080 ranks 97th out of 1748 tested combos in Ready Or Not. This places the pairing in the top 5.5% of all tested configurations, which is an exceptionally strong result. The rank reflects the overall performance across all measured resolutions and settings, and it underscores that this CPU-GPU pairing is well-balanced for this game, with the RTX 5080 providing the vast majority of the rendering power while the 5700G keeps up without creating a significant bottleneck.

Given that the RTX 5080 is in the 89th percentile of all GPUs and the 5700G is in the 83rd percentile of all CPUs, the combo rank is slightly lower than the GPU’s percentile, which is expected because the CPU is a mid-range part relative to the GPU. However, the rank of 97 out of 1748 indicates that there are only 96 other combos that perform better, and those likely feature newer or higher-end CPUs paired with the same or similar GPUs. The data shows that the 5700G is not holding back the RTX 5080 enough to drop this combo out of the top tier. For context, the nearest CPU rivals (Ryzen 7 6800U, Xeon D-2752TER, Core 5 210H) have nearly identical aggregate scores, so swapping in those processors would likely yield a similar combo rank. The high ranking is primarily driven by the GPU’s ability to deliver very high frame rates at all tested resolutions, especially the 489.4 FPS average at 1080p Low, which is an outlier in the dataset.

Settings Recommendations

The measured FPS rows provide clear guidance on the optimal settings preset for this combo. For players prioritizing maximum competitive advantage with the highest possible frame rates, the 1080p Low preset delivers an average of 489.4 FPS, which is far beyond any display’s refresh rate and ensures minimal input latency. This is the best choice for esports-style play where reaction time is critical, and the game’s tactical nature benefits from the smoothest possible motion.

For a more balanced experience that preserves visual fidelity while maintaining extremely high performance, the 1440p High preset is the sweet spot. It delivers 249.3 FPS average, which is more than enough for any high-refresh-rate monitor (including 240 Hz panels), while still providing the enhanced lighting and texture details that make Ready Or Not’s environments more immersive and readable. The 1440p Medium preset at 273.5 FPS is also excellent if you want a slight performance buffer over High.

At 4K, the High preset at 130.1 FPS is the recommended choice for players with 4K displays, as it offers a substantial improvement over Ultra (91 FPS) with only a modest reduction in visual quality. The 4K Medium preset at 141.4 FPS is also viable if you prefer a higher frame rate over the slight visual uplift of High. The Ultra preset at 4K (91 FPS) is only advisable for single-player or slow-paced tactical play where frame rate is less critical, as it provides the maximum visual polish but dips below the 100 FPS threshold that many players consider the minimum for smoothness in a shooter. In summary, the data suggests that High settings across all resolutions offer the best compromise between visual quality and performance, with the 1080p Low preset reserved for players who demand the absolute highest frame rates.
