Ready Or Not

Resolution Scaling

The measured FPS data for Ready Or Not with the AMD Ryzen 7 9700F and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 SUPER reveals a clear progression of performance as resolution increases, with the average frame rates at each setting tier showing predictable declines from 1080p through 1440p to 4K. At High settings, the combo delivers 178 FPS at 1920x1080, drops to 112 FPS at 2560x1440, and falls further to 59 FPS at 3840x2160 — a reduction of approximately 67% from 1080p to 4K, which indicates that the rendering load scales heavily with pixel count.

The Low settings preset demonstrates a similar pattern, starting at 224 FPS at 1080p, declining to 142 FPS at 1440p, and reaching 74 FPS at 4K. The gap between Low and High at each resolution remains relatively consistent, suggesting that the performance differential is driven by the GPU's ability to handle the increased shading and texture work rather than by any CPU limitation. At 1080p Low, the system produces 224 FPS, which is far beyond typical display refresh rates and indicates that the CPU is not the bottleneck at this resolution; the frame rate is instead capped by the GPU's throughput.

The Medium settings tier provides a useful middle ground, with 196 FPS at 1080p, 124 FPS at 1440p, and 65 FPS at 4K. The minimum FPS values recorded at Medium settings — 166 at 1080p, 105 at 1440p, and 55 at 4K — show that even in demanding scenes, the frame rate does not collapse, which points to a stable rendering pipeline. The Ultra settings preset, however, tells a different story: 125 FPS at 1080p, 79 FPS at 1440p, and only 41 FPS at 4K. The 4K Ultra result falls below the 60 FPS threshold, which suggests that the RTX 2060 SUPER's 8 GB of GDDR6 memory and its 256-bit bus are being saturated by the combination of high resolution and maximum quality settings.

The scaling factors between resolution steps are informative. From 1080p to 1440p at High settings, the frame rate drops from 178 FPS to 112 FPS, a 37% reduction. From 1440p to 4K at the same settings, the drop is from 112 FPS to 59 FPS, a 47% reduction. This accelerating decline with each resolution step is characteristic of a GPU that is becoming increasingly memory-bandwidth-limited as pixel count grows. The fact that Low settings at 4K still achieve 74 FPS while Ultra at 4K only reaches 41 FPS highlights that the memory subsystem and shader throughput are the limiting factors at high resolutions, rather than the CPU's processing capacity.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 7 9700F is an 8-core, 16-thread processor based on the Zen 5 architecture, built on a 4 nm process at TSMC with a transistor count of 8,315 million on a 70.6 mm² die. Its base clock is 3.80 GHz with a boost clock of 5.50 GHz, and it carries 32 MB of shared L3 cache, 1 MB of L2 cache per core, and 80 KB of L1 cache per core. In the PassMark multithread benchmark, this CPU scores 36,470, while its single-thread score is 4,691, placing it in the 94th percentile versus all CPUs. The nearest rivals in the benchmark database are the AMD Ryzen 9 7940HX with an average score of 69,875 (0.2% higher), the Intel Core i7-14700KF at 70,163 (0.2% lower), the AMD Ryzen 9 7950X at 69,515 (0.7% higher), and the Intel Core i7-14700K at 69,355 (0.9% higher). These delta percentages are all within a single percentage point, indicating that the 9700F sits in a tightly contested performance bracket.

In Ready Or Not, a tactical shooter that relies on realistic AI behavior, dynamic lighting, and complex environmental interactions, the CPU's role is primarily to manage game logic, pathfinding, and physics calculations. The measured FPS at 1080p Low settings reaches 224 FPS, which is far above the 60 FPS target for most displays, and this high frame rate is only achievable if the CPU can feed the GPU with enough draw calls and simulation updates. The 9700F's 8 cores and 16 threads, combined with its 5.50 GHz boost clock, provide ample headroom for this task. The PassMark data compression score of 421,988 and integer math score of 120,788 suggest strong per-core throughput, which is relevant for single-threaded game logic that cannot be easily parallelized.

The fact that the frame rate at 1080p Ultra (125 FPS) is still well above 60 FPS indicates that the CPU is not the primary constraint even at maximum quality settings. The difference between 1080p Low (224 FPS) and 1080p Ultra (125 FPS) is a 44% reduction, which is attributable to the GPU's increased workload rather than CPU limitations. The CPU's 94th percentile ranking among all tested processors, alongside its near-parity with the Ryzen 9 7940HX, Core i7-14700KF, Ryzen 9 7950X, and Core i7-14700K, positions it as a high-end part that can sustain high frame rates in this game without becoming the bottleneck. Its 65 W TDP and dual-channel DDR5 memory support with 89.6 GB/s bandwidth are sufficient for the game's memory access patterns, as evidenced by the consistent frame rates across all resolution and setting combinations.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 SUPER is built on the Turing architecture with a TU106 chip manufactured on a 12 nm process at TSMC, containing 10,800 million transistors on a 445 mm² die. Its base clock is 1470 MHz with a boost clock of 1650 MHz, and it features 2176 shading units, 136 texture mapping units, 64 ROPs, 34 RT cores, and 272 tensor cores. The memory configuration is 8 GB of GDDR6 on a 256-bit bus, providing 448.0 GB/s of bandwidth, with memory clocks at 1750 MHz (14 Gbps effective). The GPU's PassMark G3D score is 16,462, placing it in the 62nd percentile versus all GPUs, with an average benchmark score of 18,093. Its nearest rivals include the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 Mobile at 18,159 (0.4% higher), the AMD Radeon Pro 5700 at 18,189 (0.5% higher), the AMD Radeon RX 460 at 18,373 (1.5% higher), and the Intel Arc A770M at 18,383 (1.6% higher).

The GPU's performance in Ready Or Not is directly observable in the measured FPS data. At 4K Ultra, the average frame rate is 41 FPS, which is below the 60 FPS threshold and indicates that the GPU is struggling with the combined load of high resolution and maximum settings. The 8 GB of VRAM is a critical factor here; at 4K with Ultra settings, the game's textures and geometry likely require more than 8 GB, causing the GPU to rely on memory compression and streaming, which reduces frame rates. The 448.0 GB/s bandwidth is also a limiting factor, as the 256-bit bus must move large amounts of texture and vertex data at 4K resolution.

At 1080p Medium, the GPU produces 196 FPS with a minimum of 166 FPS, which shows that the RTX 2060 SUPER is more than capable at lower resolutions. The scaling from 1080p to 1440p at High settings (178 FPS to 112 FPS) and then to 4K (59 FPS) demonstrates the GPU's diminishing returns as pixel count increases. The FP32 performance of 7.181 TFLOPS and texture rate of 224.4 GTexel/s are adequate for the game's rendering needs at 1080p and 1440p, but at 4K Ultra, the pixel rate of 105.6 GPixel/s and the ROP count of 64 become the bottleneck, as evidenced by the 41 FPS result. The GPU's Turing architecture supports DirectX 12 Ultimate, which is relevant for the game's modern rendering features, and the 1x 8-pin power connector with a 450 W suggested PSU indicates that the card is a mid-range power draw product.

How This Combo Ranks

The combination of the AMD Ryzen 7 9700F and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 SUPER ranks 2,077 out of 2,947 tested combos in Ready Or Not, placing it in the 70th percentile of all configurations in the database. This rank is a reflection of the GPU's mid-range position (62nd percentile) and the CPU's high-end position (94th percentile), with the overall combo performance being constrained by the GPU at higher resolutions. The rank of 2,077 out of 2,947 indicates that roughly 70% of tested combos perform better in this game, which aligns with the fact that the RTX 2060 SUPER is an older Turing-generation GPU that is end-of-life, while the CPU is a current-generation part.

The disparity between the CPU's 94th percentile ranking and the GPU's 62nd percentile ranking means that the combo is heavily GPU-limited in Ready Or Not, especially at 1440p and 4K resolutions. At 1080p, the CPU's strength is more visible, with frame rates exceeding 200 FPS at Low settings, but at 4K Ultra, the GPU's limitations cap the experience at 41 FPS. This rank suggests that for users looking to improve performance in this game, upgrading the GPU would yield larger gains than upgrading the CPU, since the 9700F is already performing at a high level relative to its peers.

The combo's position in the rankings is also influenced by the game's specific demands. Ready Or Not is a tactical shooter that places significant load on both CPU and GPU, but the measured FPS data shows that the GPU is the limiting component at all settings above 1080p Low. The fact that the combo still achieves 59 FPS at 4K High means it is capable of playable frame rates at that resolution, but it cannot maintain 60 FPS at Ultra, which puts it below many higher-end combos in the database.
