GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 is the dominant component in this pairing, built on the Blackwell 2.0 architecture with a 5 nm process node. Its 32 GB of GDDR7 memory on a 512-bit bus provides a bandwidth of 1.79 TB/s, which is critical for feeding the 21760 shading units at high resolutions. The GPU's base clock of 2017 MHz boosts to 2407 MHz, and the memory runs at an effective 28 Gbps. For Ready Or Not, these specifications translate into massive headroom at 1080p and 1440p, where the GPU is underutilized, but they become essential at 4K Ultra, where the frame rate drops to 99.3 FPS.

The benchmark data shows the GPU's synthetic performance is exceptional. Its Passmark G3D score of 39650 places it in the 94th percentile, and its 3dmark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 14411 reflects strong DirectX 12 capabilities. In this game, the GPU's role shifts dramatically with resolution. At 1920x1080, even Ultra settings produce 298.6 FPS, meaning the GPU is never the bottleneck. At 2560x1440, High settings yield 269.7 FPS, still far beyond typical display refresh rates. Only at 3840x2160 does the GPU begin to strain, with High settings producing 139 FPS and Ultra dropping to 99.3 FPS. The 1.79 TB/s bandwidth and 104.8 TFLOPS of FP32 performance are the key enablers for maintaining playable frame rates at 4K, though the data shows that Ultra settings at this resolution push the card to its limits.

Resolution Scaling

The measured FPS data reveals a predictable but steep scaling pattern as resolution increases. At Low settings, the average frame rate drops from 489.4 FPS at 1080p to 340.8 FPS at 1440p, then to 180.6 FPS at 4K. This represents a 63 percent reduction from 1080p to 4K. At High settings, the drop is more severe: 429.9 FPS at 1080p, 269.7 FPS at 1440p, and 139 FPS at 4K, a 67.7 percent reduction. The scaling suggests that at 1080p, the CPU is the limiting factor, as the GPU has enough headroom to render far more frames than the processor can feed. At 1440p, the load becomes more balanced, and at 4K, the GPU takes over as the primary constraint.

The pattern is consistent across all settings presets. Medium settings show 471.2 FPS at 1080p, 294.9 FPS at 1440p, and 157 FPS at 4K. Ultra settings show 298.6 FPS at 1080p, 187.4 FPS at 1440p, and 99.3 FPS at 4K. The fact that even at 4K Ultra, the frame rate stays above 90 FPS indicates that the RTX 5090 is still delivering playable performance, but the drop from 1080p is substantial. The data implies that for players targeting 240 Hz or higher refresh rates, 1080p or 1440p is necessary, while 4K is best suited for 120 Hz displays, especially when using High or Medium settings to maintain higher averages.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the results are extraordinary across all presets. Low settings average 489.4 FPS, Medium averages 471.2 FPS, High averages 429.9 FPS, and Ultra averages 298.6 FPS. The difference between Low and Ultra is 190.8 FPS, showing that even the heaviest preset leaves significant GPU headroom. This resolution is clearly CPU-bound, as the Ryzen 7 5700G's 8 cores and 16 threads, boosting to 4.60 GHz, are the limiting factor. The single-thread score of 899 in 3dmark and 2930 in Cinebench R23 suggest that the CPU's per-core performance is adequate for this game's logic, but it caps the frame rate well below what the GPU can theoretically deliver.

At 2560x1440, the frame rates remain high but show more variance. Low averages 340.8 FPS, Medium averages 294.9 FPS, High averages 269.7 FPS, and Ultra averages 187.4 FPS. The drop from 1080p to 1440p ranges from 30.4 percent (Low) to 37.2 percent (Ultra). This resolution is a sweet spot for high refresh rate gaming, as even Ultra settings stay above 180 FPS. At 3840x2160, the pattern shifts decisively. Low averages 180.6 FPS, Medium averages 157 FPS, High averages 139 FPS, and Ultra averages 99.3 FPS. The gap between Low and Ultra at 4K is 81.3 FPS, and the GPU is now the clear bottleneck. For a tactical shooter like Ready Or Not, where situational awareness matters, the 139 FPS at High settings provides a smooth experience, while Ultra at 99.3 FPS is still playable but sacrifices smoothness for visual fidelity.

Settings Recommendations

The data suggests that High settings offer the best balance between visual quality and frame rate across all resolutions. At 1080p, High produces 429.9 FPS, which is only 12 percent lower than Low but likely provides significantly better visuals. At 1440p, High delivers 269.7 FPS, which exceeds the refresh rate of most 1440p monitors (typically 144 Hz or 165 Hz). At 4K, High yields 139 FPS, which is ideal for 120 Hz displays and only 14.1 percent lower than Medium's 157 FPS. The jump from High to Ultra costs 190.8 FPS at 1080p, 82.3 FPS at 1440p, and 39.7 FPS at 4K, making Ultra a poor trade-off for the additional visual fidelity in a fast-paced tactical shooter.

For players with 1080p displays, Medium settings at 471.2 FPS provide a negligible frame rate benefit over High (429.9 FPS), so High is the recommended preset. At 1440p, High is again the clear choice, as it offers 269.7 FPS versus Medium's 294.9 FPS, a difference of only 8.5 percent. At 4K, the choice depends on the display's refresh rate. For 120 Hz displays, High settings at 139 FPS are sufficient. For 144 Hz displays, Medium at 157 FPS provides a small margin of safety, while Ultra at 99.3 FPS would require a 60 Hz display to avoid screen tearing. Overall, the data indicates that High is the most efficient preset, delivering the highest frame rates while maintaining visual quality that justifies the GPU's capabilities.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 7 5700G is a Zen 3 architecture processor with 8 cores and 16 threads, based on the Cezanne codename. It has a base clock of 3.80 GHz and a boost clock of 4.60 GHz, with a 65 W TDP. The CPU's cache hierarchy includes 64 KB L1 per core, 512 KB L2 per core, and a total of 16 MB L3. Its integrated graphics, Radeon Vega 8, are irrelevant in this pairing, but the CPU's memory bandwidth of 51.2 GB/s over DDR4 dual-channel is a potential limiting factor. In synthetic benchmarks, the CPU scores 20755 in Cinebench R23 multicore and 2930 in singlecore, placing it in the 83rd percentile of all CPUs with an average benchmark score of 25626.

In Ready Or Not, the CPU's role is most apparent at 1080p, where the frame rates of 489.4 FPS (Low) and 429.9 FPS (High) suggest the processor is the bottleneck. The 3dmark 16-thread score of 6629 and max-thread score of 6627 indicate that the CPU's multi-threaded performance is consistent, but its single-thread score of 899 lags behind modern parts. This explains why the frame rate ceiling at 1080p is around 490 FPS, regardless of GPU headroom. At 1440p, the CPU still influences results, as evidenced by the 340.8 FPS at Low settings, which is 30.4 percent lower than 1080p. At 4K, the CPU's impact diminishes, and the GPU becomes the limiting factor, as shown by the 180.6 FPS at Low settings, which is only 47 percent of the 1080p Low result. The nearest rival, the AMD Ryzen 7 6800U, scores 25706 with a -0.3 percent delta, indicating that the 5700G's performance is on par with a mobile chip, which is notable for a desktop part.
