FAQ

Q: What is the highest average FPS measured for this pairing?

A: The highest recorded average is 284 FPS, achieved at 1920x1080 with Low settings. Medium at 1080p posts 247 FPS, High posts 225, and Ultra drops to 158 FPS.

Q: At which preset does the system fall below 60 FPS on average?

A: At 3840x2160 Ultra, the average FPS drops to 52, which is the only measured configuration below the 60 FPS line. 4K High, Medium, and Low remain at 74, 82, and 94 FPS respectively.

Q: How does the Ryzen 9 7900X perform relative to its closest benchmark rivals?

A: The CPU’s average benchmark score is 53,288. Its nearest rivals are within a fraction to about a half percent: the Intel Core i7-14700F scores 53,620, Intel Xeon Phi 7290 scores 53,469, the AMD EPYC 7313P scores 53,206, and the Intel Xeon 634 scores 52,974.

Q: What is the RTX 5060’s memory configuration and how does it relate to the results?

A: The GPU has 8 GB of GDDR7 memory, a 128-bit bus, and 448.0 GB/s bandwidth. This capacity is present in every measured configuration, and the largest workload—4K Ultra—yields the lowest average of 52 FPS.

Q: Does the combo rank at a predictable place within the overall database?

A: Yes. With rank 1641 out of 3714, it sits slightly above the middle, meaning approximately 55% of all tested combinations are slower on average while the remaining are faster.

Q: What is the best performance that still maintains a 60+ FPS average?

A: At 4K High the average is 74 FPS, and every 1440p preset surpasses 100 FPS. Thus, the data shows that 4K High is the highest resolution/preset combination that holds comfortably above 60 FPS.

GPU Role

The RTX 5060 brings 8 GB of GDDR7 memory to the table, paired with a 128-bit memory interface that yields 448.0 GB/s of bandwidth. Its boost clock is 2497 MHz, with a base clock at 2280 MHz. In raw synthetic tests it measures 20,891 in PassMark G3D, 3,628 in 3DMark Steel Nomad, and an average benchmark score of 26,331, placing it in the 72nd percentile of all GPUs. Those numbers are all within range of the results seen in Ready Or Not: at 1440p, the GPU moves frame counts between 100 and 179 FPS depending on preset.

The 8 GB pool matters here because the game’s Ultra preset consumes the most GPU and memory resources, which shows up as the 52 FPS at 4K. At lower settings, the RTX 5060’s compute stays ahead of the memory loading. The measured high FPS at 1080p also indicate that the VRAM and memory bandwidth can drive a large number of frames at lower resolution, but 4K increases pressure because that configured frame rate falls by nearly two-thirds relative to 1080p. The difference between 4K Low (94 FPS) and 4K Ultra (52 FPS) is a 45% drop, all while the device is still using the same 8 GB and 448 GB/s.

The GPU’s compute peak in the game data is 19.18 TFLOPS, and the card draws 645 W at TDP. With pixel throughput of 119.9 GPixel/s and texture rate of 299.6 GTexel/s, at 4K Ultra the system seems to be reaching the limits of what this piece can deliver for scene complexity; the minimum average doesn’t hold at 60 FPS. The result is consistent with the card being the limiting piece at the towing the 4K and Ultra combination. Read the 1080p numbers differently—there the GPU is not the primary limit; otherwise, increasing the resolution would produce a nearly proportional degradation, which it does not.

Resolution Scaling

The FPS drop from 1080p to 4K is sharp and tells a clear story about which part is the bottleneck. At High settings, 1080p gives 225 FPS, 1440p gives 142 FPS, and 4K gives 74 FPS. That is a 67% decrease from 1080p to 4K, while the pixel count quadruples. For Medium, 1080p posts 247 FPS, 1440p keeps 156 FPS, and 4K drops to 86 FPS. Low does 284 → 179 → 94 FPS across the same orientations, and Ultra goes 158 → 100 → 52.

In each case, moving from 1080p to 1440p removes roughly 35–40% of the frame rate. Moving from 1440p to 4K will further cause a fall of roughly 45–50%. This pattern means that scaling is not purely frame-pixel driven; if it were exactly proportional, 4K would be near 25% of 1080p performance rather than the measured 33–35% (i.e., 74/225 = 0.33, 82/247 = 0.33, 94/284 = 0.33 for three of four presets). The deviation is because at 1080p, the CPU can still feed frames quickly, and the game engine limits the GPU to an inner ceiling due to CPU-driven simulation or draw calls.

The fixed offset: 4K pulls the GPU into a position where the frame rate is tied to graphics work, and the 8 GB VRAM and 448 GB/s bandwidth is not causing as much as a massive fall; instead, the GPU’s compute scaling diminishes somewhere after 1440p. The data also shows that Low at 4K is 94 FPS, which is barely greater than high at 1440p (it’s actually lower). This suggests that for a 4K target, lowering graphics quality entirely does provide an increase (94 vs 74), but the RTX 5060 cannot produce anything close to 1440p-level frame rates without cutting resolution.

Overall, resolution scaling shows the expected high FPS at 1080p and a sharper drop at 4K; the relative stability of 1440p suggests that 1440p is the sweet spot for this combo, as each preset remains in triple digits.

How This Combo Ranks

The combo’s in-game rank is 1641 out of 3714. Since a rank of 1 would mean the fastest tested hardware, that puts the pairing somewhere in the upper half but not elite. This position is in line with the measured performance: it runs 4K High at 74 FPS and 4K Ultra at 52, which is acceptable for a tactical shooter if the player accepts High settings.

The Ryzen 9 7900X ranks in the 91st percentile of all CPUs, with an average benchmark score of 53,288. The nearest rival is the AMD EPYC 7313P at 53,206 (±0.2%) and the Intel Core i7-14700F at 53,620 (±0.6%), so the desktop chip is effectively on top of those. The RTX 5060 sits in the 72nd percentile among GPUs, with an average score of 26,331, and its closest rivals (Radeon 860M with 26,401, MX550 with 26,421) differ by less than 1%, so within the GPU 1% this card is mid-pack. The game’s rank pulls from both.

The fact that the CPU is in the 91st percentile but the GPU is only in the 72nd explains why the combo’s 1647th rank is not higher: the weakest link is clearly the graphics card, not the processor. At 1080p, where the CPU can shine, the card still manages 158–284 FPS. At 4Kp, where the GPU is fully loaded, the average drops below 60 at Ultra but stays above 74 at High, meaning the combo is best utilized as a 1080p/1440p machine for this game.

Measured FPS Breakdown

Here are the twelve measured data points, including min/max where provided by the telemetry:

| Resolution | Settings | Avg FPS | Min FPS | Max FPS |

|-----------|-----------|---------|---------|---------|

| 3840x2160 | Low | 94 | — | — |

| 3840x2160 | Medium | 82 | 69 | 94 |

| 3840x2160 | High | 74 | — | — |

| 3840x2160 | Ultra | 52 | — | — |

| 2560x1440 | Low | 179 | — | — |

| 2560x1440 | Medium | 156 | 133 | 180 |

| 2560x1440 | High | 142 | — | — |

| 2560x1440 | Ultra | 100 | — | — |

| 1920x1080 | Low | 284 | — | — |

| 1920x1080 | Medium | 247 | 210 | 285 |

| 1920x1080 | High | 225 | — | — |

| 1920x1080 | Ultra | 158 | — | — |

The minimum FPS values are present only for Medium presets: 69 at 4K, 133 at 1440p, and 210 at 1080p. This suggests the Medium settings have more variation, but even the worst 1% percentile at 4K is above 69 FPS. The largest frame-to-frame dip within a single run is thus 1080p Low, which is not directly measurable but, from the average numbers, it stays smooth.

Settings Recommendations

Based on the measured rows, the system allows the following guidance:

• 1080p: Every preset remains above 150 FPS. Ultra at 158 FPS is still high, so players can max out the visuals all the way without a concern. The 1% low for Medium is 210 FPS, implying a consistent experience.
• 1440p: All four presets are above 100 FPS, with Ultra at 100, High at 142, Medium at 156, and Low at 179. For any 144Hz monitor, the High or Medium preset is the optimal choice; Ultra is just at 100, but it’s playable on 60-120Hz.
• 4Kp: Only Low, Medium, and High stay above 60 FPS. Ultra at 52 FPS is below the 60 FPS threshold. Medium averages 82 FPS with a low of 69, making it the safest option for a smooth 4K experience. High at 74 averages is also fine, and the visual gain over Medium is marginal based on the data—the drop is just 8 FPS.

If you want to prioritize smoothness over the sharp image, consider 1440p Ultra (100 FPS) or 1440p High (142 FPS). The data indicates that 1080p Ultra yields 158 FPS, which is likely the best quality-to-speed combination for a competitive player, while anyone targeting 4K should adopt Medium, preserving the 69 FPS minimum.

CPU Role

The Ryzen 9 7900X is the y-side of this combo. It has 12 cores and 24 threads, base clocked at 4.70 GHz and boosting to 5.60 GHz, with 64 MB of shared L3 cache and 1 MB of L2 per core. It runs on the AM5 socket with Zen 4 (Raphael) architecture. Against all CPUs, its 91st percentile places it well above average, and its Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 29,300 and single-core 2,016.5 show high multi-threaded and single-threaded capacity. The PassMark multithread score is 51,406 and single-thread 4,238. Memory bandwidth to the system is 83.2 GB/s on DDR5.

In Ready Or Not, the CPU’s capacity appears as the fact that 1080p High hits 225 FPS and 1080p Low hits 284 FPS, meaning the CPU can send enough data to allow the GPU to reach those rates. At 4K Ultra, the CPU is not stressed in the same way because the GPU becomes the bottleneck before more CPU threads show influence. Single-thread strength is also evidenced in its 2,617 GeekBench ST score and 2016.5 R23 ST, which is relevant when the game has to process the player’s ballistic sim and 0 for every object.

The CPU's nearest rival wave shows that the 7900X sits in a weird bare-percentage zone: EPYC 7313P is only 0.2% lower, Intel Xeon Phi 7290 is 0.3% lower, Intel Xeon 634 is 0.6% lower, and the i7-14700F is at -0.6% (meaning the 7900X is slightly faster). Since the CPU is that consistent with the best, the margin by which the combo's total rank 1641 remains is negligible; this means the combination's performance is not CPU-bound at the lower resolutions, except that the CPU is already exceeding the GPU’s needs.

The system’s only possible handicap is the 8 GB VRAM, which at 4K Ultra triggers the most punishing average (52 FPS). But the CPU's 12 cores, 24 threads, and the 64 MB L3 remain underutilized at that point. The combined result is that for maximum FPS you want a faster GPU; for sustained 60 FPS tactical gameplay at 1440p Retaining you want the CPU which the 7600X already brings.
