FAQ

Q: What is the best resolution to play Ready Or Not with this combo?

A: The data strongly favors 1440p for the best balance. At 2560x1440 High, the system produces 132.7 FPS, while at 4K High it drops to 69.1 FPS. The 1080p results are exceptionally high, with Low hitting 269.1 FPS, but the visual fidelity gain from 1440p is substantial without sacrificing smoothness.

Q: How much performance is lost when moving from 1080p to 4K?

A: The scaling shows a significant drop. At High settings, the average frame rate falls from 213.9 FPS at 1920x1080 to 132.7 FPS at 2560x1440, and finally to 69.1 FPS at 3840x2160. This represents a 68% reduction from 1080p to 4K, indicating the GPU becomes the primary bottleneck at higher resolutions.

Q: Does the Ryzen 7 7700X hold back the RTX 4060 in this game?

A: Benchmark results indicate the CPU is not a limiting factor. The processor’s 3DMark single-thread score of 1090 and Cinebench R23 single-core score of 4281 ensure that it can feed the GPU adequately. At 1080p Low, the system reaches 269.1 FPS, which is well beyond typical display refresh rates and suggests the CPU has headroom remaining.

Q: Is the 8 GB of VRAM on the RTX 4060 sufficient for 4K Ultra?

A: The data shows that 4K Ultra produces an average of 51.3 FPS, which is playable but not ideal. The 8 GB GDDR6 memory with 272.0 GB/s bandwidth is the likely constraint, as the gap between High (69.1 FPS) and Ultra (51.3 FPS) at 4K is a 26% performance hit, indicating the higher texture loads are stressing the memory subsystem.

Q: How does this combo compare to other tested configurations?

A: The comboRankInGame places this setup at 988 out of 1748 tested combos, meaning it outperforms roughly 56% of all configurations. This is a solid mid-to-upper tier result, consistent with the RTX 4060’s 66th percentile ranking among all GPUs and the Ryzen 7 7700X’s 89th percentile among all CPUs.

Q: What is the impact of the CPU’s boost clock on in-game performance?

A: With a boost clock of 5.40 GHz, the processor’s high frequency directly contributes to the impressive 1080p results. The 3DMark 2-thread score of 2112 and 4-thread score of 4074 show strong low-thread performance, which is critical for a tactical shooter’s game logic and AI calculations.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060’s role in Ready Or Not is defined by its 8 GB of GDDR6 VRAM on a 128-bit bus, delivering a bandwidth of 272.0 GB/s. The GPU operates at a base clock of 1830 MHz and boosts up to 2460 MHz, which are the figures that directly influence the measured frame rates. The data shows that the GPU is the primary scaling factor across resolutions: at 1440p High the system produces 132.7 FPS, but at 4K High it drops to 69.1 FPS, a 48% reduction that aligns with the pixel count increase.

The RTX 4060’s 3072 shading units and 48 ROPs are sufficient for the game’s tactical shooter visuals at 1080p and 1440p, but the 4K Ultra preset (51.3 FPS) reveals the VRAM capacity is a limitation. The texture-heavy environments and high-detail models at Ultra settings likely exceed the 8 GB buffer, causing the frame rate to fall below the 60 FPS threshold. In contrast, the jump from Low (86.4 FPS) to Medium (77.4 FPS) at 4K is only 12%, suggesting that the GPU’s compute throughput is not the bottleneck—the memory bandwidth is.

The GPU’s Ada Lovelace architecture, built on a 5 nm process at TSMC, provides 15.11 TFLOPS of FP32 performance. This raw compute power pairs well with the game’s DirectX 12 Ultimate API support, allowing for efficient multi-threaded rendering. The passmark G3D score of 19545 places this GPU at the 66th percentile, meaning it outperforms most other cards in the database, which is consistent with the measured FPS results.

Resolution Scaling

The resolution scaling data reveals a classic GPU-bound scenario, where the RTX 4060’s performance degrades predictably as pixel count increases. At Low settings, the average FPS drops from 269.1 at 1080p to 165.7 at 1440p, and finally to 86.4 at 4K. This is a 68% reduction from 1080p to 4K, which is slightly steeper than the 50% reduction expected from pixel count alone, indicating that the GPU’s memory bandwidth becomes increasingly strained at higher resolutions.

At Ultra settings, the scaling is more dramatic: 150.1 FPS at 1080p, 91.9 FPS at 1440p, and 51.3 FPS at 4K. The 4K Ultra result is the only measured configuration that falls below 60 FPS, highlighting that the combination of maximum settings and 4K resolution exceeds the GPU’s capabilities. The difference between Ultra and Low at 4K is 35.1 FPS, while at 1080p it is 119.0 FPS, showing that the GPU’s advantage at lower resolutions is significantly reduced when the pixel count rises.

The scaling pattern suggests that the limiting component shifts with resolution. At 1080p, the CPU’s strong single-thread performance (3DMark single-thread score of 1090) allows the GPU to operate at its peak, resulting in frame rates above 200 FPS. At 1440p, the balance is optimal, with High settings producing 132.7 FPS that comfortably exceeds the 100 FPS mark. At 4K, the GPU becomes the sole bottleneck, and the data shows a clear ceiling of around 86 FPS on Low settings, indicating that the RTX 4060 cannot fully leverage the CPU’s capabilities at this resolution.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the system delivers exceptional performance across all presets. Low settings produce 269.1 FPS, Medium hits 233.6 FPS, High reaches 213.9 FPS, and Ultra maintains 150.1 FPS. These numbers indicate that the CPU is not a limitation at this resolution, as even the most demanding preset stays well above the 144 Hz refresh rate that most competitive monitors offer.

Moving to 2560x1440, the frame rates remain high but show a clear GPU influence. Low settings yield 165.7 FPS, Medium produces 149.1 FPS, High achieves 132.7 FPS, and Ultra drops to 91.9 FPS. The gap between Low and Ultra is 73.8 FPS, which is 45% of the Low value, demonstrating that the GPU’s rendering load at 1440p begins to impact performance significantly.

At 3840x2160, the GPU is clearly the limiting factor. Low settings produce 86.4 FPS, Medium hits 77.4 FPS, High reaches 69.1 FPS, and Ultra falls to 51.3 FPS. The frame rate consistently decreases by roughly 10-15% with each preset step up, and the Ultra result is the only one that fails to maintain 60 FPS. The scaling from 1440p to 4K at High settings is a 48% reduction (132.7 to 69.1 FPS), which is consistent with the 2.25x pixel count increase, confirming that the RTX 4060 is operating at its memory bandwidth limit.

Settings Recommendations

For the best experience per the measured rows, the 1440p High preset is the standout recommendation. It delivers 132.7 FPS, which is above the 120 FPS threshold for high-refresh displays, while still maintaining the visual quality necessary for a tactical shooter where target identification is critical. The 91.9 FPS at 1440p Ultra is a viable alternative for those prioritizing visuals, but the 31% performance drop from High to Ultra may not justify the marginal graphical improvements.

At 1080p, the High preset at 213.9 FPS is the optimal choice for competitive play, as the Ultra preset at 150.1 FPS still provides excellent smoothness but with diminishing returns. The Low preset at 269.1 FPS is unnecessary for most users, as the High preset already exceeds the refresh rate of most monitors. For 4K, the Medium preset at 77.4 FPS is the only sensible option, as it balances visual fidelity with a playable frame rate, while High at 69.1 FPS is slightly less smooth and Ultra at 51.3 FPS is not recommended for consistent gameplay.

The data indicates that the system’s sweet spot is 1440p, where it can maintain high frame rates without the VRAM constraints seen at 4K. The 8 GB memory capacity is best utilized at this resolution, as the High preset’s 132.7 FPS shows that the GPU has headroom to spare. For users with 1440p 144Hz monitors, this combination is well-matched, as the measured results show the GPU can consistently feed the display.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 7 7700X plays a crucial supporting role in this combo’s performance. With 8 cores and 16 threads based on the Zen 4 architecture, the processor provides the computational foundation for the game’s AI, physics, and game logic. The boost clock of 5.40 GHz is particularly important for Ready Or Not’s single-threaded workloads, as evidenced by the 3DMark single-thread score of 1090 and Cinebench R23 single-core score of 4281.

The CPU’s multi-threaded performance is also robust, with a Cinebench R23 multicore score of 30325 and a 3DMark max-thread score of 8852. These figures ensure that the processor can handle background tasks and the game’s multi-threaded rendering without bottlenecking the GPU. The 32 MB of shared L3 cache provides low-latency access to frequently used data, which is beneficial for the game’s level streaming and object management.

The processor’s 89th percentile ranking among all CPUs, with an average benchmark score of 34313, places it close to the Intel Core i5-13500 (0.4% faster), Intel Core i7-12800HX (0.5% faster), Intel Core Ultra 7 165H (0.8% slower), and AMD EPYC 4244P (0.8% slower). This tight grouping shows that the 7700X is competitively positioned, and its performance is sufficient to avoid limiting the RTX 4060 in this game. The data confirms that at 1080p Low, the system reaches 269.1 FPS, which is a strong indicator that the CPU is not the bottleneck, as this frame rate is well beyond what most GPUs can deliver.
