Ready Or Not

Resolution Scaling

The measured frame rates for Ready Or Not with the AMD Ryzen 7 7700 and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 reveal a clear pattern of GPU-bound scaling as resolution increases. At 1080p High settings, the combo delivers 225.4 FPS, which drops to 140.7 FPS at 1440p and further to 74.5 FPS at 4K. The percentage decline from 1080p to 1440p is approximately 37.6%, while moving from 1440p to 4K costs another 47.1%. This steep falloff indicates that the RTX 5060’s 8 GB GDDR7 memory and 128-bit bus become the limiting factor at higher resolutions, particularly at 4K where the pixel throughput demand overwhelms the GPU’s 119.9 GPixel/s pixel rate.

The scaling behavior across settings reinforces this interpretation. At 4K, the spread between Low (94.7 FPS) and Ultra (54.7 FPS) is 40 FPS, a 42.2% reduction. At 1440p, Low runs at 178.7 FPS while Ultra drops to 101.7 FPS, a 43.1% gap. At 1080p, Low achieves 283.6 FPS versus 155.8 FPS on Ultra, a 45.1% gap. The consistency of this settings-based penalty across resolutions suggests that the CPU overhead from the Ryzen 7 7700’s 8 cores and 16 threads is not the bottleneck — even at 1080p Low, where the CPU would typically be stressed, the system still produces 283.6 FPS, indicating substantial headroom in the processor’s Zen 4 architecture.

The data suggests that the RTX 5060’s raw compute throughput — 19.18 TFLOPS FP32 — is sufficient for high-refresh 1080p and solid 1440p gameplay, but the 4K Ultra result of 54.7 FPS falls below the 60 FPS threshold that many tactical shooters require for smooth aiming. The 4K High result of 74.5 FPS is playable, but the dramatic drop from 1440p High (140.7 FPS) to 4K High (74.5 FPS) represents a 47.1% reduction, which is steeper than what would be expected from pure pixel count scaling alone (2.25x pixel count would suggest a 55.6% drop if perfectly GPU-bound). The smaller-than-expected drop indicates some CPU assistance at 4K, but the overall trend confirms the GPU as the primary limiter.

FAQ

Q: What is the best resolution for this combo in Ready Or Not?

A: Based on the measured data, 1440p High offers the best balance, delivering 140.7 FPS average.

How This Combo Ranks

The AMD Ryzen 7 7700 + NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 combination holds position 855 out of 1748 tested combos in Ready Or Not. This mid-pack ranking might seem underwhelming given the strong individual benchmark scores, but it reflects the fact that this game is heavily GPU-bound at higher resolutions. The RTX 5060’s 73rd percentile ranking among all GPUs, combined with the Ryzen 7 7700’s 91st percentile CPU ranking, creates a system that is well-balanced for 1080p and 1440p but falls behind combos with more powerful GPUs at 4K.

The CPU’s nearest rivals in the synthetic benchmark database provide context. The AMD Ryzen 9 7940H scores 0.1% higher on average, while the Intel Core i9-13905H is 0.6% ahead. The AMD Ryzen AI 9 365 trails by 0.5%, and the Intel Core Ultra 5 235T is 1.2% behind. These differences are negligible in real-world gaming, meaning the CPU choice is not the differentiator here.

For the GPU, the RTX 5060’s nearest rival is the AMD Radeon RX 7700 XT with a 0% delta in average score, followed by the NVIDIA Tesla M60 at 0.5% higher and the RTX 5070 Mobile at 0.6% higher. The AMD Radeon RX 570 is 0.2% higher in average score, which is surprising given the generational gap but reflects the synthetic nature of these benchmarks. In Ready Or Not specifically, the 4K Ultra result of 54.7 FPS indicates that this GPU is positioned at the lower end of the 4K-capable spectrum.

The rank of 855 out of 1748 (48.9th percentile) suggests that for users prioritizing high-refresh 1080p or solid 1440p gaming, this combo is well-suited. For 4K enthusiasts, the data indicates that better-performing GPUs would be needed to achieve consistently higher frame rates, particularly at Ultra settings.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The measured data provides a comprehensive picture across three resolutions and four settings presets:

3840x2160 (4K):

• Low: 94.7 FPS
• Medium: 80.4 FPS
• High: 74.5 FPS
• Ultra: 54.7 FPS

The 4K results show a steady decline as settings increase. The gap between Low and Ultra is 40 FPS (42.2% reduction). Notably, Medium (80.4 FPS) stays above the 60 FPS playability threshold, while High (74.5 FPS) also remains playable. Ultra falls below 60 FPS, making it the only 4K preset that drops out of the smooth gameplay range.

2560x1440 (1440p):

• Low: 178.7 FPS
• Medium: 154.6 FPS
• High: 140.7 FPS
• Ultra: 101.7 FPS

At 1440p, all settings remain well above 60 FPS. The spread from Low to Ultra is 77 FPS (43.1% reduction). High delivers 140.7 FPS, which is more than double the refresh rate of most 1440p monitors (typically 144Hz or 165Hz). Even Ultra at 101.7 FPS clears the high-refresh threshold comfortably.

1920x1080 (1080p):

• Low: 283.6 FPS
• Medium: 244.8 FPS
• High: 225.4 FPS
• Ultra: 155.8 FPS

The 1080p results demonstrate the RTX 5060’s strength at this resolution. All presets exceed 155 FPS, with Low nearly doubling the 144Hz refresh rate standard. The Ultra preset at 155.8 FPS still provides a high-refresh experience, and the 283.6 FPS Low result indicates the CPU is not limiting even at this low-resolution, high-frame-rate scenario.

The data shows a consistent pattern: each resolution increase of 1.5x (1080p to 1440p) or 2.25x (1080p to 4K) results in roughly 37-47% frame rate reductions, confirming the GPU as the primary constraint.

Settings Recommendations

For 1080p gameplay, the Ultra preset at 155.8 FPS is the clear choice. It provides the highest visual fidelity while still delivering frame rates well above the 144Hz refresh rate common on 1080p monitors. The gap between High (225.4 FPS) and Ultra (155.8 FPS) is substantial, but both are playable; users with 240Hz displays may prefer High for the extra 69.6 FPS of headroom, while those with 144Hz panels should prioritize visual quality with Ultra.

At 1440p, High settings at 140.7 FPS represent the optimal balance. This preset comfortably exceeds 144Hz refresh rates while maintaining excellent visual quality. Medium at 154.6 FPS offers a small performance boost for users with 165Hz or 240Hz displays, but the visual fidelity loss is not worth the marginal gain for most players. Ultra at 101.7 FPS is still smooth but falls below 144Hz, making it a secondary option for those who prioritize image quality over refresh rate.

For 4K gaming, High settings at 74.5 FPS are recommended for the best experience. This preset stays above the 60 FPS threshold while providing good visual quality. Medium at 80.4 FPS offers additional headroom for demanding scenes and is also a strong choice. Low at 94.7 FPS is playable but significantly degrades visual fidelity. Ultra at 54.7 FPS should be avoided, as frame rates below 60 FPS in a tactical shooter can impair aiming precision and situational awareness.

The overall recommendation is to target 1440p High as the primary configuration, with 1080p Ultra as a high-refresh alternative and 4K High as a visual showcase when raw performance is less critical. The data indicates that this combo is best suited for high-refresh 1080p and 1440p gaming, with 4K as a secondary capability rather than a primary target.
