Ready Or Not

Resolution Scaling

The measured FPS data for Ready Or Not with the AMD Ryzen 9 7900X and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER reveals a classic GPU-bound scaling pattern as resolution climbs. At 1920x1080 with High settings, the combo delivers 369 FPS average. Moving to 2560x1440 at High, the average drops to 231.8 FPS, a reduction of roughly 37% from the 1080p figure. At 3840x2160, the average falls further to 122.8 FPS, which is about 47% lower than the 1440p result and roughly 67% below the 1080p High number.

This steep decline with each resolution step strongly indicates that the GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER is the performance limiter at higher pixel counts. The Ryzen 9 7900X, with its 12 cores and 24 threads, has ample headroom at 1080p, where the 466.7 FPS Low preset result suggests the CPU is still feeding the GPU effectively but the frame rate ceiling is largely set by the graphics card.

The data shows a consistent pattern across all four settings presets. At Low settings, the 1080p result is 466.7 FPS, dropping to 297.7 FPS at 1440p and 154.9 FPS at 4K. The Medium preset follows suit: 407.3 FPS at 1080p, 256.8 FPS at 1440p, and 137.2 FPS at 4K. High settings produce 369 FPS, 231.8 FPS, and 122.8 FPS respectively. Ultra settings, which are the most demanding, yield 258.2 FPS at 1080p, 166 FPS at 1440p, and 85.2 FPS at 4K.

The ratio between 1080p and 4K results is remarkably consistent across settings. For Low, the 4K frame rate is approximately 33% of the 1080p value. For Medium, it is about 34%. For High, it is roughly 33%. For Ultra, it is close to 33% as well. This uniformity indicates that the game's rendering workload scales almost linearly with pixel count, and the GPU is consistently the bottleneck.

At 1080p, the difference between Low and Ultra is substantial: 466.7 FPS versus 258.2 FPS, a gap of over 200 FPS. This shows that even at lower resolutions, the RTX 4080 SUPER's raw compute capacity is being taxed by the Ultra preset's additional effects. The 4K Ultra result of 85.2 FPS is the only measured configuration that falls below the 100 FPS threshold, making it the only scenario where the combo might feel less fluid for high-refresh-rate displays.

The scaling behavior suggests that for competitive play, where frame rates above 240 Hz are desirable, the 1080p Medium or High presets are the sweet spot. For single-player immersion at 4K, the High preset at 122.8 FPS is more than adequate, while Ultra at 85.2 FPS is still playable but represents a significant performance cost for the visual uplift.
