Ready Or Not

Resolution Scaling

The measured frame rates for Ready Or Not with the AMD Ryzen 7 9700X and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 show a clear, predictable scaling pattern as resolution increases. At 1920x1080 with High settings, the combo produces 210.6 FPS. Moving to 2560x1440 drops that to 130.7 FPS, a significant reduction of roughly 38%. Pushing further to 3840x2160 yields 68.6 FPS, which is about 67% lower than the 1080p result. This steep decline indicates that the RTX 4060 becomes the primary limiting factor as pixel count rises.

The Low settings row tells the same story. At 1080p Low, the system hits 267.1 FPS, which is an exceptionally high ceiling. At 1440p Low, it still manages 167.5 FPS, but 4K Low drops to 90.3 FPS. The gap between Low and Ultra settings widens dramatically at higher resolutions. At 1080p, Low to Ultra spans from 267.1 down to 145.8 FPS—a 121.3 FPS range. At 4K, that same span runs from 90.3 down to 48.6 FPS, a narrower 41.7 FPS range.

This behavior suggests that at 1080p, the AMD Ryzen 7 9700X has enough headroom to feed the GPU even at Ultra settings, but the RTX 4060's 8 GB GDDR6 memory and 128-bit bus become bottlenecks at 4K. The 4K Ultra result of 48.6 FPS is below the 60 FPS threshold many players target, while 4K High at 68.6 FPS clears it. The data indicates that for 4K play, High settings are the sensible ceiling, while 1440p and 1080p offer much more flexibility.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 is built on the Ada Lovelace architecture, fabricated on a 5 nm process at TSMC. It packs 18,900 million transistors on a 159 mm² die, with 3072 shading units, 96 texture mapping units, and 48 raster output units. The boost clock runs at 2460 MHz, and memory operates at 2125 MHz with 17 Gbps effective speed. The 8 GB GDDR6 frame buffer sits on a 128-bit bus, delivering 272.0 GB/s of bandwidth.

For Ready Or Not, a tactical shooter that relies on dense indoor environments and complex lighting, the RTX 4060's feature set matters. It includes 24 RT cores and 96 tensor cores, supporting DirectX 12 Ultimate, Vulkan 1.4, and OpenGL 4.6. The GPU's 15.11 TFLOPS of FP32 performance and 236.2 GTexel/s texture rate are sufficient for 1080p and 1440p gaming, as the FPS data confirms.

The VRAM allocation is the most scrutinized aspect. With 8 GB, the card meets the needs of this title at 1080p and 1440p, where High and Ultra settings remain playable. At 4K Ultra, the frame rate collapses to 48.6 FPS, which likely reflects both memory pressure and raw compute limits. The pixel rate of 118.1 GPixel/s and the 128-bit memory interface constrain 4K performance, explaining why even 4K Low only reaches 90.3 FPS versus 267.1 FPS at 1080p Low.

In the broader GPU landscape, the RTX 4060 sits at the 66th percentile of all GPUs, with an average benchmark score of 23181. Its nearest rivals include the AMD Radeon RX 6600M (0.6% lower), the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 780 Ti (0.7% lower), the Intel Arc B580 (0.7% higher), and the AMD Radeon 760M (0.8% higher). These margins are razor-thin, which means the RTX 4060's performance class is well-established, but its specific strengths in this game come from the Ada Lovelace feature set rather than raw throughput.

FAQ

Q: Can this combo run Ready Or Not at 4K smoothly?

A: At 4K High, the average frame rate is 68.6 FPS, which is playable. At 4K Ultra, the average drops to 48.6 FPS, which may feel sluggish for a tactical shooter. For consistent 60+ FPS at 4K, stick to High settings or lower.

Q: Is the CPU or GPU the bottleneck at 1080p?

A: At 1080p Low, the system reaches 267.1 FPS, which is extremely high. The frame rate drops to 145.8 FPS at 1080p Ultra, indicating the GPU becomes more stressed at higher settings, but the CPU has ample headroom across all settings at this resolution.

Q: How does the RTX 4060 compare to its nearest rivals?

A: The RTX 4060 has an average benchmark score of 23181. The AMD Radeon RX 6600M scores 0.6% lower, the GTX 780 Ti scores 0.7% lower, the Intel Arc B580 scores 0.7% higher, and the AMD Radeon 760M scores 0.8% higher. These are all within 1% of each other.

Q: What is the best resolution for this combo?

A: At 2560x1440 with High settings, the system averages 130.7 FPS, which balances visual quality and performance well. At 1920x1080, the system exceeds 210 FPS on High, making it ideal for high-refresh-rate displays. 4K is viable but requires High settings or lower.

Q: Does the 8 GB VRAM limit the game at any resolution?

A: The 8 GB frame buffer appears sufficient at 1080p and 1440p, where even Ultra settings stay above 93 FPS. At 4K Ultra, the 48.6 FPS result suggests memory bandwidth or capacity constraints, as the 128-bit bus provides 272.0 GB/s, which is modest for 4K workloads.

Q: How does the CPU's performance compare to its rivals?

A: The AMD Ryzen 7 9700X has an average benchmark score of 36029, ranking at the 89th percentile of all CPUs. Its nearest rival, the Intel Core i5-14500HX, scores 0.2% lower, while the AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 5845 scores 0.6% higher and the Intel Core Ultra 9 185H scores 0.4% higher.

Settings Recommendations

Based on the measured FPS data, the optimal settings depend on the target resolution and refresh rate. At 1920x1080, High settings deliver 210.6 FPS, which is well above any standard display refresh rate. The jump to Ultra drops the frame rate to 145.8 FPS, still excellent for 144 Hz monitors. For players with 240 Hz displays, Medium settings at 232.4 FPS or Low at 267.1 FPS provide the headroom needed. There is little reason to use Low at 1080p unless chasing the absolute maximum frame rate.

At 2560x1440, High settings are the sweet spot. The 130.7 FPS average comfortably exceeds 120 Hz refresh rates, and the visual quality remains high. Ultra drops to 93.5 FPS, which is still playable but offers diminishing returns. Medium at 147.7 FPS gives a slight boost for competitive play, while Low at 167.5 FPS is for those who prioritize frame rate above all else. The data suggests High is the best balance.

At 3840x2160, the situation changes. High settings produce 68.6 FPS, which is playable on 60 Hz displays. Ultra falls to 48.6 FPS, which is below the 60 FPS threshold and may feel inconsistent. Medium at 79.2 FPS and Low at 90.3 FPS offer smoother experiences, but the visual fidelity loss is noticeable on a 4K panel. For 4K, High is the recommended setting, with Medium as a fallback if frame pacing becomes an issue.
