Ready Or Not

The Intel Core i5-11400F paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070 SUPER ranks at position 1076 out of 1748 tested combos in Ready Or Not. This places the combination in the 38th percentile of all tested systems, meaning roughly 62% of configurations deliver higher average frame rates in this tactical shooter. The ranking reflects a mid-pack position, but the measured FPS data reveals that this pairing is far more capable than the raw rank suggests, particularly at mainstream resolutions where the scores approach or exceed the refresh rates of typical gaming monitors.

How This Combo Ranks

The combo rank of 1076 among 1748 tested configurations places this system in the lower-middle tier of the database. However, this ranking aggregates performance across all resolutions and settings, which dilutes the story. At 1080p, this combo delivers average frame rates that range from 140.2 FPS on Ultra to 244.6 FPS on Low, figures that would place it well above the median for competitive play. The rank is dragged down by the 4K Ultra result of 44.1 FPS, which is below the 60 FPS threshold many consider playable. The CPU itself sits at the 75th percentile among all processors, with an average benchmark score of 17181, while the GPU rests at the 65th percentile with an average score of 22206. The CPU’s nearest rivals include the AMD Ryzen 7 5700U (delta 0%) and the Intel Core i5-1240U (delta 0.2%), showing the i5-11400F is statistically tied with those parts in synthetic tests. The GPU’s closest competitor is the NVIDIA RTX A400 at -0.5% delta, while the AMD Radeon RX 5700 trails by 2.5%.

GPU Role

The RTX 2070 SUPER brings 8 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 256-bit bus, yielding 448.0 GB/s of bandwidth. Its 1605 MHz base clock boosts to 1770 MHz, and the memory runs at 1750 MHz (14 Gbps effective). The card’s 40 RT cores and 320 tensor cores support DirectX 12 Ultimate, but Ready Or Not’s measured results show that raw rasterization throughput is the deciding factor. The GPU’s 2560 shading units and 160 TMUs produce a texture rate of 283.2 GTexel/s, which explains why the card scales well up to 1440p before hitting a wall at 4K. The 64 ROPs deliver a pixel rate of 113.3 GPixel/s, and the 9.062 TFLOPS of FP32 performance is sufficient for high frame rates at lower resolutions. In the benchmark data, the GPU’s PassMark G3D score of 18169 aligns with its 65th percentile standing, and its nearest rival, the RTX A400, scores 22307 in average benchmarks — a -0.5% difference that puts the 2070 SUPER essentially on par with that workstation card.

Resolution Scaling

The measured FPS data shows a clear progression as resolution drops. At 4K High, the combo averages 68.2 FPS; dropping to 1440p High jumps to 121.4 FPS; and at 1080p High it reaches 193.7 FPS. This scaling pattern — roughly 1.8x improvement from 4K to 1440p and another 1.6x from 1440p to 1080p — indicates the GPU is the primary limiter at higher resolutions. The RTX 2070 SUPER’s 8 GB VRAM and 448.0 GB/s bandwidth are sufficient for 1440p, but the 4K Ultra result of 44.1 FPS shows the card’s compute resources are overwhelmed by the pixel count. Conversely, the i5-11400F’s 6 cores and 12 threads with a 4.40 GHz boost clock are clearly not the bottleneck at 1080p, where the 244.6 FPS Low result exceeds what most displays can show. The 51.2 GB/s memory bandwidth of the CPU’s dual-channel DDR4 support is adequate for feeding the GPU at lower resolutions.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1080p, the data shows a spread of 104.4 FPS between Low and Ultra settings. Low yields 244.6 FPS, Medium drops to 217.8 FPS, High comes in at 193.7 FPS, and Ultra bottoms out at 140.2 FPS. Every setting at 1080p exceeds the 120 FPS mark, making this resolution ideal for high-refresh-rate displays. Moving to 1440p, the same settings produce 156.7 FPS (Low), 136.3 FPS (Medium), 121.4 FPS (High), and 87.2 FPS (Ultra). The gap between Low and Ultra narrows to 69.5 FPS, showing the GPU is starting to feel the load. At 4K, the results compress further: 80.3 FPS on Low, 71.5 FPS on Medium, 68.2 FPS on High, and 44.1 FPS on Ultra. The delta between Low and Ultra at 4K is 36.2 FPS, indicating that even the lowest settings cannot fully escape the GPU’s pixel-throughput limits.

FAQ

Q: What is the best resolution for this combo in Ready Or Not?

A: The 1440p High setting delivers 121.4 FPS, which balances visual quality with frame rate. At 1080p, every preset exceeds 140 FPS, but 1440p High offers the best combination of clarity and performance.

Q: Can this system handle 4K gaming in Ready Or Not?

A: Yes, but with caveats. 4K Low produces 80.3 FPS and 4K High reaches 68.2 FPS, both playable. However, 4K Ultra drops to 44.1 FPS, which is below the 60 FPS threshold.

Q: How does the RTX 2070 SUPER compare to its nearest rivals?

A: The GPU’s average benchmark score of 22206 is -0.5% behind the NVIDIA RTX A400 (score 22307) and 2.5% ahead of the AMD Radeon RX 5700 (score 21670). It also trails the RTX 4060 Mobile by -2.3%.

Q: Is the CPU a bottleneck at any resolution?

A: The i5-11400F with its 4.40 GHz boost and 12 threads does not appear to limit performance at any tested setting. The FPS scaling from 1080p to 4K is consistent with GPU-bound behavior.

Q: What frame rate can I expect at 1080p Ultra?

A: The measured 140.2 FPS at 1080p Ultra is well above the 120 FPS mark, making this preset viable for high-refresh-rate monitors.

Q: How much performance is lost from Low to Ultra at 1440p?

A: The difference is 69.5 FPS, from 156.7 FPS on Low to 87.2 FPS on Ultra. This shows a significant but manageable trade-off for visual fidelity.

Settings Recommendations

The data strongly favors 1440p High as the sweet spot for this combo. At 121.4 FPS, it delivers a fluid experience with substantial visual fidelity, and it sits comfortably above the 60 FPS minimum. For players prioritizing maximum frame rates, 1080p Low at 244.6 FPS is the clear choice, though the graphical compromises are obvious. The 4K Low preset at 80.3 FPS is the only 4K option that maintains high fluidity, but it sacrifices too much detail for most users. Ultra settings should be avoided at all resolutions except 1080p, where 140.2 FPS remains playable — at 1440p the 87.2 FPS result is marginal, and at 4K the 44.1 FPS falls below playability thresholds. The Medium presets offer a balanced middle ground: 217.8 FPS at 1080p and 136.3 FPS at 1440p, both excellent results. Given the tactical nature of Ready Or Not, where visibility and reaction time matter, the 1440p High recommendation stands as the best overall measured configuration, providing both clarity and responsiveness without pushing the GPU to its limits.
