Ready Or Not

The AMD Ryzen 7 5800XT and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 combination delivers a robust performance profile in Ready Or Not, with the data indicating a system that scales predictably across resolutions. The measured results show a clear hierarchy, placing this pairing in the upper half of tested configurations, with the CPU and GPU each playing distinct roles depending on the workload.

Resolution Scaling

The frame rate progression from 1080p to 4K reveals a classic pattern where the GPU becomes the dominant constraint as pixel count rises. At 1080p with Low settings, the combo produces 266 FPS, which drops to 168 FPS at 1440p and further to 88 FPS at 2160p. This represents a 67% reduction in performance from 1080p to 4K, indicating that the rendering pipeline is heavily taxed by the higher resolution output.

The scaling from 1080p to 1440p shows a steeper decline than the 1440p to 4K transition. At Medium settings, the drop from 232 FPS to 146 FPS (a 37% decrease) is more pronounced than the subsequent fall to 77 FPS at 4K (a 47% decrease from 1440p). This non-linear behavior suggests that at 1080p, the CPU can still feed the GPU adequately, but by 1440p the graphics card's fill rate and memory bandwidth begin to limit throughput.

At 4K Ultra settings, the average FPS falls to 49, which is the lowest recorded figure across the entire test matrix. The gap between High (70 FPS) and Ultra (49 FPS) at 4K is 30%, highlighting how the most demanding preset introduces a significant computational load that the RTX 4060's 8 GB GDDR6 memory and 128-bit bus struggle to accommodate. The diminishing returns from Medium to High at 4K (77 to 70 FPS, a 9% penalty) contrast sharply with the steep drop from High to Ultra, confirming that the Ultra preset pushes the GPU past its comfortable operating envelope.

How This Combo Ranks

Out of 3,714 tested combinations in Ready Or Not, this pairing achieves rank 1,997. This places it almost exactly at the 50th percentile among all CPU-GPU pairings, meaning roughly half of the tested configurations deliver higher or comparable average frame rates. The ranking reflects a balanced but not exceptional system, where neither component is a standout performer relative to the broader test pool.

The GPU's individual standing reinforces this mid-pack positioning. The RTX 4060 sits at the 61st percentile among all GPUs, with an average benchmark score of 17,639. Its nearest rivals in the aggregate benchmarks include the AMD Radeon HD 7790 (scoring 17,666, a 0.2% difference) and the AMD Radeon 780M (17,588, a 0.3% difference). This clustering indicates that the RTX 4060's raw compute capabilities are closely matched by older and integrated solutions, which contextualizes its mid-tier rank in this specific game.

The CPU contributes a stronger relative standing. The Ryzen 7 5800XT ranks in the 81st percentile among all CPUs, with an average benchmark score of 29,879. Its nearest rivals include the AMD Ryzen 7 7840H (29,868, a 0% difference) and the AMD Ryzen 5 9600X (29,713, a 0.6% difference). The CPU's higher percentile suggests that in scenarios where the GPU is not the bottleneck—such as lower resolutions—the 5800XT's 8 cores and 16 threads can maintain high frame rates without becoming a limiting factor.

GPU Role

The RTX 4060 operates with a base clock of 1830 MHz and a boost clock of 2460 MHz, built on the AD107 chip using a 5 nm process from TSMC. Its 8 GB of GDDR6 memory runs at 2125 MHz with an effective data rate of 17 Gbps, delivering a bandwidth of 272.0 GB/s across a 128-bit bus. These specifications explain the GPU's behavior in Ready Or Not, particularly at higher resolutions where memory capacity and bandwidth become critical.

The measured FPS at 4K Ultra (49 FPS) versus 4K Medium (77 FPS) shows a 36% performance penalty for enabling the highest settings. This gap is likely attributable to the combination of increased texture detail and shadow complexity, which places higher demands on the 8 GB VRAM pool. At 1080p, the GPU's 15.11 TFLOPS of FP32 compute and 118.1 GPixel/s pixel rate are sufficient to push beyond 200 FPS on most presets, but the scaling to 4K demonstrates the limits of the memory subsystem.

The GPU's 96 tensor cores and 24 RT cores are present in the hardware, though the measured data does not specify whether ray tracing or DLSS features were active during testing. The raw rasterization performance, as evidenced by the DirectX 12 benchmark score of 76 and the Passmark G3D score of 19,545, indicates a capable mid-range part that excels at lower resolutions but cannot maintain high frame rates at 4K with maximum settings.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the RTX 4060 and Ryzen 7 5800XT produce excellent results across all presets. Low settings yield 266 FPS, Medium produces 232 FPS (with a minimum of 197 and maximum of 267), High reaches 211 FPS, and Ultra drops to 148 FPS. The spread from Low to Ultra is 44%, showing that even the most demanding preset remains highly playable at this resolution. The minimum FPS recorded at Medium (197) stays well above refresh rate thresholds for most displays.

Moving to 2560x1440, the performance remains strong but begins to show the GPU's limitations. Low settings deliver 168 FPS, Medium averages 146 FPS (min 124, max 168), High reaches 133 FPS, and Ultra falls to 94 FPS. The delta between Low and Ultra at 1440p is 44%, mirroring the 1080p spread, but the absolute values are lower. The minimum FPS at Medium (124) still ensures smooth gameplay, but the Ultra preset's 94 FPS average approaches the threshold where motion smoothness on high refresh rate monitors could be compromised.

At 3840x2160, the frame rates drop significantly. Low settings produce 88 FPS, Medium averages 77 FPS (min 65, max 88), High reaches 70 FPS, and Ultra falls to 49 FPS. The jump from Low to Medium at 4K costs 12.5% performance, while the leap to Ultra costs an additional 36% from High. The minimum FPS of 65 at Medium is the only recorded minimum at 4K, but it suggests that even at lower presets, frame time consistency can be maintained. The Ultra result of 49 FPS is the only figure below the 60 FPS threshold, making it the only preset at this resolution that may not deliver a consistently smooth experience.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 7 5800XT provides substantial headroom for this game. With 8 cores and 16 threads based on the Zen 3 architecture (codenamed Vermeer), the CPU boosts up to 4.80 GHz from a 3.80 GHz base clock. The 32 MB shared L3 cache and dual-channel DDR4 memory support with 51.2 GB/s bandwidth are sufficient for the tactical shooter's logic and AI calculations.

Benchmark data shows the CPU's multithreaded strength: Cinebench R23 multicore scores 23,794, while the single-core score is 3,359. The Passmark multithread score of 28,053 and single-thread score of 3,535 both exceed the 81st percentile ranking among all CPUs. In Ready Or Not, which relies on both single-thread performance for game logic and multithreaded capability for AI and physics, the 5800XT is unlikely to be the bottleneck at any resolution tested.

The CPU's nearest rival, the AMD Ryzen 7 7840H, scores virtually identically (29,868 vs 29,879, a 0% difference), indicating that the 5800XT's performance is comparable to modern mobile parts. The lack of a significant CPU bottleneck is evident in the scaling pattern: at 1080p Low, the combo achieves 266 FPS, which is likely near the engine's frame rate limit given the GPU's capabilities. The CPU's 105 W TDP and PCIe Gen 4 support (20 lanes) provide adequate bandwidth for the RTX 4060, which uses a PCIe 4.0 x8 interface.
