Ready Or Not

The AMD Ryzen 9 7900X paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 D delivers exceptional performance in Ready Or Not, ranking first out of 2,947 tested combinations. The benchmark data shows that this pairing consistently produces high frame rates across all resolutions and settings, with the Ultra preset at 4K still achieving a playable average of 104 FPS. This combination is clearly positioned as a top-tier enthusiast configuration for this tactical shooter.

Settings Recommendations

The measured FPS data indicates that the High preset offers the most balanced experience for this hardware combination. At 3840x2160, the High preset delivers an average of 148 FPS, which is 44 FPS higher than the Ultra preset’s 104 FPS average at the same resolution. The jump from High to Ultra yields a substantial performance cost—a 44 FPS reduction at 4K—while the visual differences in a tactical shooter like Ready Or Not are typically incremental. For players prioritizing maximum smoothness and responsiveness, the High preset is the optimal choice.

The Medium preset also warrants consideration, as it provides an average of 163 FPS at 4K with a recorded minimum of 139 FPS and maximum of 187 FPS. This represents a 15 FPS improvement over High at the cost of some visual fidelity. However, the High preset’s 148 FPS average is already well above the refresh rate of most high-end displays, making the additional performance from Medium unnecessary for most users. At 2560x1440, the High preset achieves an impressive 284 FPS average, and at 1920x1080, it reaches 449 FPS average, demonstrating that this settings choice scales exceptionally well across resolutions.

The Low preset, while delivering the highest frame rates (187 FPS at 4K, 358 FPS at 1440p, 567 FPS at 1080p), sacrifices too much visual quality for a game that relies on environmental clarity and situational awareness. The Ultra preset, conversely, demands a 44 FPS reduction at 4K compared to High, making it less suitable for competitive play. The data strongly suggests that High is the sweet spot, offering a 42% performance advantage over Ultra at 4K while maintaining the graphical fidelity necessary for effective tactical gameplay.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 D features 32 GB of GDDR7 memory on a 512-bit bus, providing a massive 1.79 TB/s of memory bandwidth. This substantial memory configuration ensures that Ready Or Not’s detailed environments and texture-heavy scenes are handled without any memory-related bottlenecks. The GPU’s base clock of 2017 MHz and boost clock of 2407 MHz, combined with its 21,760 shading units, deliver the raw compute power needed for the game’s lighting and shadow calculations.

The GPU’s 104.8 TFLOPS of FP32 performance and 1,636.8 GTexel/s texture rate are directly reflected in the benchmark results. At 4K Ultra, the combination still produces 104 FPS average, indicating the GPU is the primary driver of performance at this demanding setting. The data shows a clear pattern: as resolution increases, the frame rate decreases in a manner consistent with GPU-bound scaling. The RTX 5090 D’s 176 ROPs and 680 TMUs ensure efficient pixel and texture processing, which is critical for a game like Ready Or Not that features complex interior environments with high geometric density.

The GPU’s performance percentile of 92 and average benchmark score of 77,112 place it among the top-tier cards tested. Its nearest rivals, such as the AMD Radeon RX 6650M XT (1.1% higher average score) and AMD Radeon RX 6850M XT (1.6% lower average score), are mobile variants, highlighting the desktop-class performance of this GPU. The 32 GB VRAM capacity is particularly relevant for Ready Or Not, as the game’s detailed textures and potential for modded content benefit from generous memory allocation, though the measured data does not indicate any memory-related performance limitations at the tested settings.

Resolution Scaling

The FPS scaling from 1080p to 4K reveals important characteristics of this hardware combination. At the High preset, the average FPS drops from 449 at 1920x1080 to 284 at 2560x1440, a 36.7% reduction, and then to 148 at 3840x2160, a further 47.9% reduction from 1440p. This scaling pattern indicates that the system becomes progressively more GPU-bound as resolution increases, which is expected given the RTX 5090 D’s immense compute capabilities.

The Low preset shows even more dramatic scaling: 567 FPS at 1080p drops to 358 FPS at 1440p (36.9% reduction) and then to 187 FPS at 4K (47.8% reduction from 1440p). This consistent reduction pattern across presets suggests that the CPU is capable of feeding the GPU adequately at lower resolutions, with the GPU becoming the limiting factor as pixel count increases. The Medium preset demonstrates a similar trend, with 494 FPS at 1080p, 312 FPS at 1440p, and 163 FPS at 4K.

The Ultra preset exhibits the steepest scaling curve, from 316 FPS at 1080p to 199 FPS at 1440p (37% reduction) to 104 FPS at 4K (47.7% reduction from 1440p). This consistent 36-37% reduction from 1080p to 1440p and subsequent 47-48% reduction from 1440p to 4K across all presets indicates a well-balanced system where the performance drop is primarily driven by the GPU’s rendering workload. The data suggests that at 1080p, the frame rates are exceptionally high, approaching the limits of what even the most capable CPUs can sustain, while at 4K, the GPU is fully utilized.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the benchmark results show exceptional performance across all settings. The Low preset achieves an average of 567 FPS, the Medium preset delivers 494 FPS with a minimum of 420 FPS and maximum of 568 FPS, the High preset reaches 449 FPS, and the Ultra preset maintains 316 FPS. These figures indicate that at 1080p, the system is likely CPU-bound at lower settings, as the frame rates exceed what most displays can even refresh.

Moving to 2560x1440, the performance remains extremely high. The Low preset averages 358 FPS, Medium delivers 312 FPS with a minimum of 265 FPS and maximum of 359 FPS, High achieves 284 FPS, and Ultra produces 199 FPS. The 1440p results show a more balanced distribution between CPU and GPU load, with the Ultra preset still delivering nearly 200 FPS, making this resolution and settings combination ideal for high-refresh-rate gaming.

At 3840x2160, the results demonstrate the GPU’s capability at the highest resolution. The Low preset averages 187 FPS, Medium delivers 163 FPS with a minimum of 139 FPS and maximum of 187 FPS, High achieves 148 FPS, and Ultra produces 104 FPS. Even at 4K Ultra, the system maintains a smooth 104 FPS average, which is well above the 60 FPS threshold for comfortable gameplay. The Medium preset at 4K provides the highest minimum frame rate of 139 FPS, suggesting excellent consistency for players who prioritize frame time stability.
