Ready Or Not

Ready Or Not is a demanding tactical shooter, and the combination of the AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 produces a wide spectrum of performance depending on how you configure it. The benchmark data shows high average frame rates at 1440p and 1080p, but the experience at 4K is heavily dictated by settings. The data indicates that the best overall experience for this pairing is the Medium preset, which balances fluidity and fidelity across all tested resolutions.

Settings Recommendations

The benchmark results for this combo show that the Medium preset offers the most balanced and reliable experience. At 1920x1080, the Medium preset delivers an average FPS of 232, with a minimum FPS of 197 and a maximum of 267. This is only slightly below the Low preset's 266 FPS, but it provides a substantially better visual experience. At 2560x1440, the Medium preset again proves to be the sweet spot, with an average FPS of 146 and a minimum of 124 FPS. The same holds true at 3840x2160, where Medium achieves an average of 77 FPS with a minimum of 65 FPS, making it the playable option at 4K.

The High. The High preset at 4K drops to an average of 70 FPS, and while that is technically playable, the Medium preset's 77 FPS provides more headroom. The Ultra preset is the most demanding, and the data indicates it is not viable for this combination. At 3840x2160, the Ultra preset produces only 49 FPS on average, which falls below the standard for smooth gameplay. At 2560x1440, Ultra averages 94 FPS, and at 1920x1080, it averages 148 FPS. While these are respectable frame rates, the Ultra preset's massive performance cost relative to Medium makes it a poor choice for this CPU/GPU combination.

The Low. The Low preset at 3840x2160 does provide a playable 88 FPS, which is a significant jump from the Medium preset's 77 FPS. However, the visual downgrade is severe. The data indicates that the Medium is the best balance of frame rate and image quality. The minimum FPS data also supports this choice. The only resolution/settings combination with a recorded minimum FPS is the Medium preset, which shows it is the only one that maintains a stable frame rate in the most demanding moments. At 1920x1080 the minimum is 197, at 1440p it is 124, and at 4K it is 65. This suggests that the Medium preset is the most stable option, ensuring the game doesn't stutter in combat situations.

How This Combo Ranks

The benchmark database ranks this combination as 1997th out of 3714 total tested combinations for Ready Or Not. This puts it in the middle of the performance pack. It is not a top-tier build, but it is also not a low-end one. The performance, as shown by the measured FPS, is sufficient for smooth gameplay at 1080p and 1440p, but it is a mid-tier result when compared to the full range of hardware.

The GPU's percentile versus all GPUs is the 61st. This aligns with the combo's mid-pack ranking. The CPU is a much stronger piece of hardware, with a percentile of 83 against all CPUs. This suggests that the game is heavily GPU-bound in this configuration, and that the CPU is not it back. The high CPU percentile means that the 7800X3D is a very strong processor, and it is not the bottleneck. The GPU's 61st percentile is the more relevant statistic for understanding the combo's overall rank, as the game's performance is being limited by the graphics card.

The CPU's nearest rivals include the AMD Ryzen 7 8700G, the Intel Core i7-13650HX, and the AMD Ryzen 7 7745HX, all with a deltaPct of 0. The AMD Ryzen 9 PRO 6950H is slightly behind with a deltaPct of -0.4. This shows that the 7800X3D is a very competitive CPU, with performance that is essentially identical to its closest competitors. The GPU's nearest rivals are the AMD Radeon HD 7790, the AMD Radeon 780M, the AMD Radeon Pro 560, and the AMD Radeon Pro 460, all with deltaPct values of -0.2, 0.3, 0.5, and 0.7 respectively. This shows that the RTX 4060 is also closely matched with its competitors, with a negligible performance difference.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 is the primary component limiting performance in Ready Or Not. The GPU has 8 GB of GDDR6 memory and a 128-bit memory bus, providing a bandwidth of 272.0 GB/s. This memory configuration is a key factor in the game's performance, especially at higher resolutions. The data shows that the GPU is the bottleneck, as the CPU's performance percentile is high, but the combo's rank is mid-tier.

The GPU's clock speeds are 1830 MHz base and 2460 MHz boost. The 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 benchmark score for this GPU is 2302, and the PassMark G3D score is 19545. These numbers are not directly comparable to the game's FPS, but they do give an idea of the GPU's overall capabilities. The GPU's memory clock is 2125 MHz, which translates to 17 Gbps effective, and it has a pixel rate of 118.1 GPixel/s and a texture rate of 236.2 GTexel/s.

The 8 GB of VRAM is a potential concern for a game like Ready Or Not, which is a modern tactical shooter with detailed environments. At 1080p and 1440p, the 8 GB is likely sufficient, but at 4K, the game may be demanding more memory. The data shows that the 4K performance is the weakest, and that the frame rate drops significantly. It is possible that the 8 GB of VRAM is a limiting factor at 4K, but the data does not provide direct proof of this. The performance from 4K to 1440p and 1080p shows a clear pattern of GPU-bound scaling, which is expected for a game with this type of graphics.
