Ready Or Not

The Intel Core i5-11400F paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 Ti delivers a performance profile in Ready Or Not that is heavily dictated by the graphics card, particularly at higher resolutions. The CPU’s six-core, twelve-thread configuration, based on the Rocket Lake architecture, provides a solid foundation, but the benchmark data indicates that the RTX 3080 Ti is the primary driver of frame rates in most tested scenarios.

CPU Role

The Intel Core i5-11400F operates with a base clock of 2.60 GHz and a boost clock of 4.40 GHz. This 6-core, 12-thread processor features a 12 MB shared L3 cache and is built on Intel’s 14 nm process node. In synthetic benchmarks, the CPU scores 14,340 points in Cinebench R23 multi-core and 2,024 points in single-core tests. Its Passmark multithread score of 16,908 and single-thread score of 2,981 place it in the 71st percentile of all CPUs, indicating it is a capable mid-range part.

For a tactical shooter like Ready Or Not, which often involves complex AI routines and physics calculations, the processor’s multi-threading capabilities are relevant. However, the measured frame rates show that the CPU is rarely the limiting factor. At 1080p with Low settings, the combo achieves an average of 365 FPS, which far exceeds the refresh rate of most monitors. The data suggests that even in CPU-sensitive scenes, the i5-11400F has enough headroom to feed the RTX 3080 Ti. The processor’s nearest rivals in benchmark scores include the AMD EPYC 7H12 (0.3% faster) and the Intel Core i5-12450H (0.4% slower), showing its competitive standing in general compute tasks.

A: Only at 4K with Ultra settings does the average frame rate fall below 100 FPS, hitting 67 FPS. At 4K High, the average is 95 FPS, while all other tested configurations exceed 100 FPS.

How This Combo Ranks

In the benchmark database for Ready Or Not, this specific combo of the Intel Core i5-11400F and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 Ti ranks 984th out of 3,714 tested combinations. This places it in the top 26.5% of all configurations tested for this game. The ranking reflects the balance between the mid-range CPU and the high-end GPU. While the processor is not a top-tier part, its performance is sufficient to allow the graphics card to operate near its full potential. The rank suggests that there are many other combos with newer or more powerful CPUs that achieve higher frame rates, but this pairing still offers a very playable experience overall.

The data indicates that the bottleneck is not the CPU. For instance, at 1080p Low, the average FPS is 365, which is a massive number. If the CPU were severely limiting, this figure would be much lower. The rank of 984 is more likely a reflection of the CPU’s overall compute performance compared to other parts in the database, rather than its specific gaming capability with this GPU.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The measured frame rates provide a clear picture of performance across resolutions and settings.

At 1920x1080:

• Low: 365 FPS average
• Medium: 318 FPS average (minimum 270, maximum 366)
• High: 289 FPS average
• Ultra: 203 FPS average

At 2560x1440:

• Low: 230 FPS average
• Medium: 201 FPS average (minimum 171, maximum 231)
• High: 183 FPS average
• Ultra: 128 FPS average

At 3840x2160:

• Low: 120 FPS average
• Medium: 105 FPS average (minimum 89, maximum 121)
• High: 95 FPS average
• Ultra: 67 FPS average

These numbers show a consistent scaling pattern. The difference between Low and Ultra is substantial at every resolution, but the relative drop is more pronounced at 4K. At 1080p, the gap between Low (365 FPS) and Ultra (203 FPS) is 162 FPS, while at 4K, the gap is 53 FPS. This indicates that at lower resolutions, the GPU has so much headroom that even the heaviest settings still yield high frame rates, whereas at 4K, the GPU is becoming more saturated.

Resolution Scaling

The frame rate drops from 1080p to 4K are steep and highlight the GPU’s role. Moving from 1080p High (289 FPS) to 1440p High (183 FPS) results in a 36.7% decrease. Further scaling to 4K High (95 FPS) results in a 48.1% decrease from 1440p. The same pattern holds for other settings. At Low, the drop from 1080p (365 FPS) to 4K (120 FPS) is a 67.1% reduction.

This scaling behavior is characteristic of a GPU-bound scenario. The CPU’s performance remains constant across resolutions, but the GPU’s workload increases dramatically with pixel count. The fact that the frame rate halves when moving from 1440p to 4K suggests that the RTX 3080 Ti is the limiting component at these higher resolutions. If the CPU were the bottleneck, the frame rate would remain relatively flat regardless of resolution. The data shows a clear inverse relationship between resolution and FPS, which is a classic sign of GPU limitation.

Settings Recommendations

Based on the measured rows, the Medium preset offers the best balance of visual quality and performance. At 1440p Medium, the combo achieves an average of 201 FPS with a minimum of 171 FPS. This ensures a consistently smooth experience even in intense firefights. At 4K Medium, the average drops to 105 FPS with a minimum of 89 FPS, which is still playable, but the minimum frame rate indicates some potential for noticeable dips.

For players prioritizing maximum frame rates, the High preset at 1440p delivers 183 FPS, which is only slightly lower than Medium while likely offering better visual fidelity. However, at 4K, High drops to 95 FPS average, which may be below the threshold for high-refresh-rate gaming. The Ultra preset is not recommended for competitive play, as it reduces the average frame rate to 67 FPS at 4K and 128 FPS at 1440p. The data suggests that Medium is the sweet spot, providing high frame rates without the substantial performance penalty of Ultra settings. At 1080p, all settings are playable, with even Ultra hitting 203 FPS, so users with 1080p monitors can choose based on visual preference.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 Ti is the dominant component in this pairing. It features the GA102 chip on Samsung’s 8 nm process, with 28,300 million transistors and a die size of 628 mm². The GPU has 10,240 shading units, 320 texture mapping units, and 112 ROPs. Its boost clock is 1665 MHz, and it is equipped with 12 GB of GDDR6X memory running at 19 Gbps effective, delivering 912.4 GB/s of bandwidth. This memory configuration is crucial for Ready Or Not, which features detailed environments and high-resolution textures.

The GPU’s compute capabilities are significant, with an FP32 performance of 34.10 TFLOPS. It supports DirectX 12 Ultimate and Vulkan 1.4, ensuring compatibility with modern rendering techniques. The RTX 3080 Ti’s benchmark scores reflect its high-end status, with a Passmark G3D score of 26,896 and a 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 5,077. Its average benchmark score of 41,187 places it in the 83rd percentile of all GPUs.

In practical terms, the GPU’s role is to push the high frame rates seen in the measured data. At 1080p, the GPU is so powerful that it can render over 300 FPS on Medium settings. The performance scaling across resolutions shows that the GPU is fully utilized as the resolution increases. The 12 GB VRAM buffer ensures that even at 4K Ultra, the game does not run out of memory, as evidenced by the playable 67 FPS average. The RTX 3080 Ti’s nearest rivals, such as the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 (2% slower) and the AMD Radeon Pro 5300 (0.8% slower), are all high-performance parts, confirming that this GPU is a top-tier choice for demanding titles.
