Ready Or Not

Ready Or Not is a demanding tactical shooter, and the pairing of the AMD Ryzen 9 7900X with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 produces an exceptionally high-performing combo. Benchmark data shows this system is capable of delivering frame rates far beyond the standard 60 FPS target, even at 4K resolution with maximum settings. The measured results place this combination in the 246th position out of 3714 tested combos for this game, putting it in the top 7% of all configurations. This indicates a system that is not only powerful but also well-balanced for the specific workloads presented by Ready Or Not.

Resolution Scaling

The measured FPS data reveals a clear pattern of performance scaling across the three tested resolutions. At 1080p with High settings, the combo achieves an average of 372 FPS. Moving to 1440p, the average drops to 235 FPS, and at 4K, it further declines to 123 FPS. This represents a 34% decrease from 1080p to 1440p and a 48% decrease from 1440p to 4K. This steep decline indicates that the system is heavily GPU-bound at higher resolutions, as the workload shifts from the CPU to the graphics card.

The scaling pattern is consistent when examining the Ultra preset. At 1080p, the average is 261 FPS; at 1440p, it falls to 165 FPS; and at 4K, it dips to 86 FPS. The percentage drops between resolutions are similar to those seen in High settings, reinforcing the notion that the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 is the primary limiting factor as resolution increases. The data suggests that the Ryzen 9 7900X's processing power is more than sufficient to feed the GPU at 1080p, but the GPU's rendering capabilities become the bottleneck as pixel count rises.

The difference between the Low and Ultra presets at 4K is particularly telling. The Low preset achieves 155 FPS, while the Ultra preset only manages 86 FPS, a 45% reduction in performance. This large gap demonstrates the significant impact of graphical settings on the GPU's workload. At 1080p, the gap between Low (469 FPS) and Ultra (261 FPS) is a 44% reduction, showing that the scaling is consistent across resolutions. The data implies that for maximum frame rates, lowering settings is more effective than lowering resolution, as the CPU can handle the lower-resolution scenarios without becoming a bottleneck.

FAQ

Q: What is the best resolution for this combo to maintain a high refresh rate?

A: The data shows that at 1440p with High settings, the combo averages 235 FPS, and at 4K with High settings, it averages 123 FPS. For a 144Hz monitor, 1440p High is ideal, while 4K High is sufficient for a 120Hz display.

Q: How does the Ultra preset affect performance compared to High?

A: The Ultra preset demands significantly more from the GPU. At 4K, the average FPS drops from 123 on High to 86 on Ultra, a 30% performance decrease. At 1080p, the drop is from 372 to 261 FPS, a 30% decrease as well.

Q: Is the CPU or GPU the limiting factor in this game?

A: The performance scaling indicates that the GPU becomes the limiting component at higher resolutions. The FPS drop from 1080p to 4K is substantial, showing that the CPU, with its 12 cores and 24 threads, is not the primary constraint in this configuration.

Q: What are the minimum FPS figures for the Medium preset?

A: The measured data provides minimum FPS only for the Medium preset. At 1080p, the minimum is 348 FPS with a maximum of 471 FPS. At 1440p, the minimum is 220 FPS with a maximum of 297 FPS, and at 4K, the minimum is 115 FPS with a maximum of 155 FPS.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The measured FPS data provides a comprehensive view of the system's performance across all settings and resolutions. At 1920x1080, the system is overwhelmingly fast. The Low preset results in an average of 469 FPS, while Medium yields 409 FPS, High yields 372 FPS, and Ultra still manages a very high 261 FPS. The Medium preset has a recorded minimum of 348 FPS and a maximum of 471 FPS, showing a wide performance envelope.

At 2560x1440, the frame rates remain very high. The Low preset averages 296 FPS, Medium averages 258 FPS, High averages 235 FPS, and Ultra drops to 165 FPS. The Medium preset's minimum and maximum are 220 FPS and 297 FPS, respectively. These numbers indicate that 1440p is a sweet spot for high-refresh-rate gaming, with even the highest settings providing a comfortable margin above 144 FPS.

At 3840x2160, the performance is still impressive but shows the expected decline. The Low preset averages 155 FPS, Medium averages 135 FPS, High averages 123 FPS, and Ultra averages 86 FPS. The Medium preset has a minimum of 115 FPS and a maximum of 155 FPS. This data shows that 4K gaming at Ultra settings will require a monitor with adaptive sync to smooth out the frame pacing, but the system is capable of delivering a playable experience at all settings.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 9 7900X is a 12-core, 24-thread processor based on the Zen 4 architecture, operating on the AMD Socket AM5 platform. Its base clock is 4.70 GHz, and it can boost up to 5.60 GHz. In synthetic benchmarks, it scores 29300 in Cinebench R23 multi-core and 2016.5 in single-core, demonstrating its capability in both multi-threaded and single-threaded workloads. This processing power is crucial for a game like Ready Or Not, which can involve complex AI and physics calculations.

The CPU's performance relative to its rivals is very tight. Its average benchmark score of 53288 is only 0.2% higher than the AMD EPYC 7313P and 0.6% higher than the Intel Xeon 634. It is 0.3% lower than the Intel Xeon Phi 7290 and 0.6% lower than the Intel Core i7-14700F. This shows that while the 7900X is a top-tier CPU, the competition is fierce, and the performance differences are marginal. In the context of this game, the CPU's high single-core performance is likely more important than its multi-core might, as many game engines are not fully optimized for many cores.

The measured FPS data suggests that the CPU is not the bottleneck in this system. The frame rates scale consistently with resolution and settings, which is a typical sign of a GPU-limited scenario. Even at 1080p with Low settings, where the CPU would be most likely to be a limiting factor, the system achieves an average of 469 FPS. This high frame rate indicates that the CPU is capable of handling the game's logic and draw calls without slowing down the graphics card.

Settings Recommendations

Based on the measured FPS data, the optimal settings depend on the user's display and performance goals. For users with a 4K 120Hz display, the High preset is the best choice, as it provides an average of 123 FPS, which is just above the 120 FPS target. The Ultra preset, averaging 86 FPS, would be more suitable for a 60Hz display but does not take full advantage of higher refresh rates.

For 1440p users, the High preset is highly recommended, delivering an average of 235 FPS. This is more than enough for any high-refresh-rate monitor, including 240Hz models. The Ultra preset at 165 FPS also provides an excellent experience, and the visual fidelity increase may be worth the performance cost for some users who prioritize image quality over raw frame rates.

At 1080p, the system is so powerful that even the Ultra preset yields an average of 261 FPS. For competitive play, the Medium preset at 409 FPS or Low preset at 469 FPS would be the best options, as they minimize input latency and provide the highest possible frame rates. The data shows that the Medium preset has a minimum FPS of 348, ensuring no significant drops below the refresh rate of most high-end monitors. The High preset is a balanced choice, but the performance headroom is so large that users can comfortably select the Ultra preset without experiencing any noticeable slowdowns.
