# Ready Or Not with AMD Ryzen 7 7700X + NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 D

This combination of the AMD Ryzen 7 7700X and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 D delivers exceptional performance in Ready Or Not, ranking first out of 2,947 tested combos. The data shows that this pairing is capable of extremely high frame rates across all resolutions, with the RTX 5090 D clearly dominating the rendering workload while the 7700X provides ample CPU headroom. The measured FPS figures indicate that this system is optimized for high-refresh-rate monitors, even at 4K Ultra settings where it maintains a playable and smooth experience.

Resolution Scaling

The frame rate progression across resolutions reveals a classic GPU-bound scaling pattern, but with unusually high absolute values. At 1080p High settings, the combo delivers 449 FPS average. Moving to 1440p High drops this to 284 FPS, a reduction of approximately 37%. At 4K High, the average falls to 148 FPS, which is roughly 48% lower than the 1440p figure. This scaling behavior indicates that the RTX 5090 D remains the primary performance driver at every resolution tested.

The gap between Low and Ultra settings widens significantly as resolution increases. At 1080p, the difference between Low (567 FPS) and Ultra (316 FPS) is 251 FPS, representing a 44% performance penalty for maxing out settings. At 4K, the same comparison shows Low at 187 FPS and Ultra at 104 FPS, an 83 FPS difference or 44% penalty — a remarkably consistent relative scaling. This consistency suggests that the game's settings adjustments impose a similar proportional load increase regardless of pixel count.

The 4K Ultra result of 104 FPS average is particularly telling. While it is the lowest figure in the entire measured dataset, it remains above the 100 FPS threshold often considered essential for smooth competitive play. The 4K Medium result of 163 FPS with a minimum of 139 FPS indicates that even at higher resolutions with moderate settings, the system never dips below playable territory. The scaling from 4K Medium to 4K High (163 to 148 FPS) shows a modest 9% drop, while the jump from High to Ultra (148 to 104 FPS) imposes a steeper 30% penalty — a non-linear relationship that suggests Ultra settings carry expensive effects.

At 1440p, the system demonstrates its most balanced behavior. The Medium preset delivers 312 FPS with a minimum of 265 FPS, making it suitable for high-refresh-rate displays. The 1440p Ultra figure of 199 FPS still provides substantial headroom above typical 144Hz monitors. This resolution represents the sweet spot where the GPU's massive 1.79 TB/s memory bandwidth and 32 GB GDDR7 VRAM are fully utilized without being constrained by pixel throughput limits.

Its memory support includes DDR5 with dual-channel configuration and 83.2 GB/s memory bandwidth, alongside PCIe Gen 5 with 24 lanes.

In Ready Or Not, the CPU's role is primarily to feed the GPU with enough data to maintain the high frame rates observed. The 3DMark benchmark results show strong multi-threaded performance: 8,859 for 16 threads, 7,057 for 8 threads, and 8,852 for max threads. Single-thread performance scores 1,090 in 3DMark, 315 in Cinebench R15, and 1,987 in Cinebench R23. The PassMark single-thread score of 4,190 indicates solid per-core capability, which is important for a tactical shooter that may rely on game logic and AI calculations.

The Cinebench R23 multicore score of 19,088 demonstrates that the 7700X provides substantial parallel processing power. For a game like Ready Or Not, which involves squad-based AI and environmental interactions, this multi-threaded headroom ensures that CPU-side bottlenecks are minimal. The processor's 16 threads allow the game to distribute workloads effectively, although the measured FPS data suggests that the GPU is the limiting factor at all tested resolutions and settings.

The 7700X's position at the 85th percentile among all CPUs, with an average score of 35,909, places it in the upper echelon of processors. Its nearest rivals — the Ryzen 7 PRO 5845 (35,802), Core 7 250H (35,728), Ryzen AI 7 PRO 350 (35,719), and Core Ultra 9 185H (35,670) — are all within 0.7% of its performance, indicating that the 7700X is not uniquely superior in synthetic tests. However, in this specific game combo, the CPU's capabilities are more than sufficient to support the RTX 5090 D's output.

Settings Recommendations

The measured data suggests that the High preset at 1440p provides the best balance of visual quality and performance, delivering 284 FPS average. This is more than double the 144Hz refresh rate common on high-end monitors, leaving ample headroom for demanding scenes. The 4K High preset at 148 FPS is also excellent for 4K displays, though users with 120Hz or 144Hz 4K monitors may prefer it over Ultra.

For players prioritizing maximum frame rates, the Medium preset at 1080p offers 494 FPS average with a minimum of 420 FPS, ensuring no perceptible stutter even in intense firefights. At 1440p, Medium delivers 312 FPS with a minimum of 265 FPS, which is still far above any practical refresh rate ceiling. The Medium preset appears to be the most consistent option, as it is the only one with reported minimum FPS values across all resolutions, showing disciplined frame pacing.

The Ultra preset at 4K produces 104 FPS average, which is suitable for 60Hz displays and entry-level 120Hz panels. However, the 30% performance drop from High to Ultra at 4K (148 to 104 FPS) suggests that Ultra settings carry a heavy computational cost that may not be visually justified for competitive play. At 1080p, the Ultra preset's 316 FPS is still high, but the 44% penalty versus Low (567 FPS) indicates that players with 360Hz monitors might prefer lower settings.

The Low preset at any resolution is not recommended for normal use, as the visual degradation is significant while the performance gains are unnecessary given the system's capabilities. The data shows that even at 4K Low, the system produces 187 FPS, which exceeds the capabilities of most displays. For most users, the High preset at their native resolution will provide the best experience, with Medium serving as a fallback for those who demand absolute minimum frame stability.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 D is the dominant component in this configuration, built on the Blackwell 2.0 architecture with a GB202 chip manufactured on a 5 nm process at TSMC.
