Ready Or Not

Resolution Scaling

The measured FPS data for Ready Or Not with the Intel Core i5-10400F and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti reveals a clear pattern of GPU-bound scaling as resolution increases. At 1080p High settings, the combo produces 352.9 FPS, which drops to 226.7 FPS at 1440p, and further to 114.6 FPS at 4K. This represents a 67.5% performance retention when moving from 1080p to 1440p, and a 32.5% retention from 1080p to 4K.

The scaling behavior is consistent across all four settings presets. At Low settings, the frame rate falls from 381.2 FPS at 1080p to 283.8 FPS at 1440p and 147.3 FPS at 4K. Medium settings show 365.1 FPS at 1080p, 246.8 FPS at 1440p, and 127.6 FPS at 4K. The Ultra preset is the most demanding, starting at 250.3 FPS at 1080p, dropping to 157.6 FPS at 1440p, and settling at 85.2 FPS at 4K.

The resolution scaling pattern indicates that the RTX 5070 Ti is the primary limiting component at 4K. The delta between 1080p and 1440p is larger in absolute terms than the delta between 1440p and 4K in most presets, which suggests the GPU still has ample headroom at 1080p and 1440p. At 4K Ultra, the 85.2 FPS result shows the GPU is being pushed to its limits, while the 147.3 FPS at 4K Low demonstrates that even at the highest resolution, the combo can achieve high refresh rates when settings are relaxed.

How This Combo Ranks

The combination of Intel Core i5-10400F and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti achieves a rank of 198 out of 1748 tested combos in Ready Or Not. This places the configuration in the upper tier of tested systems, outperforming approximately 88.7% of all combinations. The rank reflects a balanced pairing where the RTX 5070 Ti's substantial compute resources (43.94 TFLOPS FP32, 8960 shading units) are matched with a 6-core/12-thread CPU that reaches a 4.30 GHz boost clock.

The i5-10400F itself holds a percentile rank of 73 among all CPUs, with an average benchmark score of 14168. Its nearest rivals in CPU benchmarks include the AMD EPYC 7552 (14115, +0.4% delta), AMD Ryzen 3 7320C (14277, -0.8%), Intel Core i5-8500 (14332, -1.1%), and AMD Ryzen Embedded V2546 (14336, -1.2%). These narrow deltas indicate the i5-10400F sits in a tightly contested performance band.

For the GPU, the RTX 5070 Ti holds a percentile rank of 87 among all GPUs. Its nearest rival is the RTX 4080 with a 0% delta, meaning the two cards are statistically indistinguishable in average benchmark scores. The RTX 5070 Ti leads the RTX A1000 by 2.5% and trails the RX 7700S by 0.8% and the Radeon Pro W6600M by 2.5%.

In the context of Ready Or Not specifically, the rank of 198 suggests the combo performs well above the median tested configuration. The game's tactical shooter nature benefits from high frame rates, and the measured data shows this combo delivers competitive results across all resolutions and settings.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the combo delivers its highest frame rates. Low settings produce 381.2 FPS, Medium 365.1 FPS, High 352.9 FPS, and Ultra 250.3 FPS. The gap between Low and High is only 28.3 FPS, indicating the game is heavily CPU-limited at this resolution. The jump from High to Ultra costs 102.6 FPS, showing that Ultra settings introduce significant GPU load even at 1080p.

Moving to 2560x1440, the frame rates remain high but show more differentiation between presets. Low achieves 283.8 FPS, Medium 246.8 FPS, High 226.7 FPS, and Ultra 157.6 FPS. The spread from Low to High is 57.1 FPS, wider than at 1080p, indicating the GPU begins to matter more. The Ultra preset at 157.6 FPS still provides excellent smoothness for a tactical shooter.

At 3840x2160, the GPU becomes the clear bottleneck. Low settings yield 147.3 FPS, Medium 127.6 FPS, High 114.6 FPS, and Ultra drops to 85.2 FPS. The difference between Low and High at 4K is 32.7 FPS, and the Ultra preset is the only one that falls below 100 FPS. Even at 4K Ultra, the 85.2 FPS result remains playable, but it is noticeably lower than the 250.3 FPS at 1080p Ultra.

The data shows consistent scaling: reducing settings from Ultra to Low provides a 52.3% FPS increase at 1080p, 80.1% at 1440p, and 72.8% at 4K. The largest absolute gains from settings reduction occur at 1440p, where Low is 126.2 FPS higher than Ultra.

CPU Role

The Intel Core i5-10400F contributes 6 cores and 12 threads based on the Comet Lake architecture, built on Intel's 14 nm process. Its base clock of 2.90 GHz and boost clock of 4.30 GHz provide the single-thread performance that tactical shooters like Ready Or Not rely on. The CPU's 12 MB of shared L3 cache and dual-channel DDR4 memory support with 42.7 GB/s bandwidth are adequate for this game's demands.

Benchmark data shows the i5-10400F excels in multi-threaded workloads relative to its single-thread results. The Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 10297 is nearly seven times the single-core score of 1453, reflecting the benefit of 12 threads. The 3DMark 16-thread score of 4748 is nearly identical to the max-thread score of 4735, confirming that the CPU's thread count is fully utilized in properly threaded applications. The 8-thread score of 3929 is 82.7% of the max-thread score, showing strong scaling.

In Ready Or Not, the CPU's role becomes apparent at 1080p. The small FPS differences between Low (381.2), Medium (365.1), and High (352.9) at 1080p indicate the CPU can sustain high frame rates regardless of GPU load. The Ultra preset at 1080p drops to 250.3 FPS, suggesting the GPU begins to matter more with higher fidelity settings. The i5-10400F's percentile rank of 73 among all CPUs places it in the upper quarter, and its single-thread Passmark score of 2541 is competitive for gaming workloads.

The CPU's memory bandwidth of 42.7 GB/s over dual-channel DDR4 is a potential constraint at very high frame rates, but the measured data shows no such bottleneck until frame rates exceed 380 FPS at 1080p Low. At 1440p and 4K, the GPU workload dominates, and the CPU's role diminishes.

Settings Recommendations

For 4K gaming, the Medium preset at 127.6 FPS offers the best balance of visual quality and performance. High at 114.6 FPS is also viable for those prioritizing fidelity, while Ultra at 85.2 FPS remains playable but sacrifices the high refresh rate advantage. Low at 147.3 FPS is unnecessary at 4K unless maximum frame rates are the sole objective.

At 1440p, the High preset at 226.7 FPS provides an excellent experience, with the headroom to handle intense firefights without dropping below playable thresholds. Medium at 246.8 FPS and Low at 283.8 FPS are options for players with high refresh rate displays, though the visual downgrade from High to Medium is minimal. Ultra at 157.6 FPS is the best choice for visual purists, as it remains well above 144 Hz.

For 1080p, the Ultra preset at 250.3 FPS is the recommended choice, as it delivers the full visual experience while maintaining frame rates far above any display's refresh rate. High at 352.9 FPS offers diminishing returns in visual quality for a modest FPS gain. Low at 381.2 FPS and Medium at 365.1 FPS provide no meaningful advantage given the already high frame rates.

Across all resolutions, the Medium preset provides the most consistent experience, with frame rates of 127.6 FPS at 4K, 246.8 FPS at 1440p, and 365.1 FPS at 1080p. This preset balances GPU load and visual fidelity, making it the safest recommendation for varied hardware configurations. The data supports High as the second-best option, offering 114.6 FPS at 4K and 226.7 FPS at 1440p, both comfortably above 100 FPS.
