GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 plays a central role in delivering the exceptional frame rates observed in the measured data. The GPU is built on the Blackwell 2.0 architecture and features 12 GB of GDDR7 memory on a 192-bit bus, providing a memory bandwidth of 672.0 GB/s. This generous bandwidth is critical for feeding the GPU’s 6144 shading units and 48 RT cores at high resolutions.

The GPU’s clock speeds are substantial, with a base clock of 2325 MHz and a boost clock of 2512 MHz. These high clocks directly translate to the raw compute throughput needed to maintain high frame rates. The GPU’s FP32 performance of 30.87 TFLOPS is a measure of its raw shader processing power, which is essential for the complex lighting and shadow calculations present in Ready Or Not’s environments. The 80 ROPs ensure that pixel fill rate is sufficient for high-resolution output, contributing to the strong 4K performance seen in the data.

In the context of the game’s results, the GPU’s role is clear. The measured FPS scales predictably with resolution, and the RTX 5070’s capabilities are the primary driver behind the high scores. For instance, at 4K with High settings, the combo achieves 102 FPS, a figure that would be impossible without a powerful GPU. The GPU’s performance is also showcased by its 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 5077, which is a modern benchmark that stresses the GPU in ways similar to contemporary games. The RTX 5070’s 82nd percentile ranking among all GPUs confirms that it is a high-end part, and the game data reflects this, showing that it can handle the most demanding presets.

Settings Recommendations

The measured data for Ready Or Not shows a clear trade-off between visual fidelity and frame rate, but the RTX 5070’s power means that even the most demanding presets are playable. The data suggests that the High preset offers the best balance of visual quality and performance across all resolutions.

At 1080p, the High preset delivers an average of 311 FPS, which is more than enough for any high-refresh-rate monitor. The Medium preset pushes this higher to 342 FPS, but the visual jump from Medium to High is often more significant than the frame rate drop from 342 to 311. The Ultra preset at 1080p still provides a very playable 218 FPS, making it a viable option for players who prioritize maximum detail. However, the High preset’s performance headroom ensures consistent frame times.

Moving to 1440p, the High preset yields an average of 196 FPS, which is excellent for a 144Hz or 165Hz monitor. The Medium preset offers 216 FPS, but again, the visual improvements at High are substantial. The Ultra preset at 1440p drops to 138 FPS, which is still smooth but begins to show the cost of the highest settings. For a competitive or smooth experience at 1440p, High is the sweet spot.

At 4K, the High preset delivers an average of 102 FPS, which is ideal for a 100Hz or 120Hz display. The Medium preset offers 113 FPS, but the visual difference between Medium and High is often worth the 11 FPS trade-off. The Ultra preset at 4K drops to 72 FPS, which is playable but may not be optimal for fast-paced action. The Low preset across all resolutions provides the highest frame rates (392 FPS at 1080p, 247 FPS at 1440p, 129 FPS at 4K), but these are only recommended for players who are extreme competitive purists or using very high refresh rate displays. For the vast majority of users, the High preset is the recommended starting point, as it provides a superior visual experience with frame rates that are well above playable thresholds.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The measured FPS data provides a comprehensive view of how the combo performs across different resolutions and settings. The results are consistent and show a clear performance hierarchy.

1080p Resolution:

• Low: The combo achieves an average of 392 FPS, showcasing the CPU’s strength in lower-resolution scenarios where the GPU is less of a bottleneck. This is the highest frame rate recorded in the dataset.
• Medium: The average FPS drops to 342, with a minimum of 290 and a maximum of 393. The minimum still exceeds the refresh rate of most high-end monitors.
• High: The average FPS is 311, indicating a smooth and consistent experience. This is a 31 FPS drop from Medium, but the visual quality is significantly enhanced.
• Ultra: The average FPS is 218, which is still exceptionally high and playable. The performance cost of Ultra is clear, but the RTX 5070 handles it without issue.

1440p Resolution:

• Low: The average FPS is 247, showing a 145 FPS drop from 1080p Low. This indicates the GPU is becoming more of a limiting factor at this resolution.
• Medium: The average FPS is 216, with a minimum of 183 and a maximum of 248. The minimum frame rate remains above the 144Hz refresh rate threshold.
• High: The average FPS is 196, a drop of 20 FPS from Medium. This is still an excellent result for 1440p gaming.
• Ultra: The average FPS is 138, which is the first time the average dips below the 144 FPS mark. It remains smooth for a 120Hz display.

4K Resolution:

• Low: The average FPS is 129, which is a significant drop from the 1440p result. This highlights the immense pixel count of 4K.
• Medium: The average FPS is 113, with a minimum of 96 and a maximum of 130. The minimum frame rate is still above 60 FPS, ensuring a playable experience.
• High: The average FPS is 102, which is a good result for 4K and suitable for 100Hz displays.
• Ultra: The average FPS is 72, which is the lowest recorded in the dataset. It is still playable, but it is the only setting where the frame rate approaches the 60 FPS baseline.

Resolution Scaling

The data reveals a predictable and steep drop in performance as resolution increases, which is typical for a GPU-bound game like Ready Or Not. From 1080p to 1440p, the average FPS across all settings drops by approximately 37%. For instance, at High settings, the frame rate falls from 311 FPS at 1080p to 196 FPS at 1440p. From 1440p to 4K, the drop is even more pronounced, with the average FPS falling by another 48%. At High settings, the frame rate goes from 196 FPS at 1440p to 102 FPS at 4K.

This scaling behavior indicates that the RTX 5070 is the primary limiting component at higher resolutions. At 1080p, the CPU’s strong single-threaded performance (4691 in Passmark) is able to keep the GPU well-fed, resulting in extremely high frame rates. The 392 FPS at 1080p Low suggests that the CPU is capable of pushing well over 400 FPS, but the GPU’s rendering limits cap the output. As resolution increases, the GPU’s workload grows exponentially, and the frame rate becomes increasingly dependent on the GPU’s fill rate and bandwidth.

The 4K performance is particularly instructive. The RTX 5070’s 672.0 GB/s of memory bandwidth is sufficient for 4K, but the sheer pixel count means the GPU is working at its limit. The drop from 129 FPS at Low to 72 FPS at Ultra at 4K shows that the Ultra preset’s additional effects (likely more complex lighting and shadows) heavily tax the GPU. The fact that the combo still manages over 100 FPS at 4K High demonstrates that the RTX 5070 is not just a 1080p or 1440p card; it is a capable 4K performer for this title. The scaling from 1080p to 4K (a 4x increase in pixels) results in a frame rate drop of roughly 67% at High settings (from 311 to 102 FPS), which is close to the theoretical scaling limit, confirming that the GPU is the bottleneck at 4K.
