Ready Or Not

Resolution Scaling

The measured FPS data for Ready Or Not with the Intel Core i5-12400 and Intel Arc B580 shows a clear progression as resolution increases. At 1920x1080 with High settings, the combo delivers 174 FPS average. Moving to 2560x1440 drops that to 106.3 FPS, a reduction of approximately 39%. At 3840x2160, the average falls further to 53.6 FPS, which is roughly 69% lower than the 1080p result.

The scaling pattern across all settings tiers is consistent. At Low settings, the transition from 1080p to 1440p sees a drop from 214 FPS to 133.8 FPS, and then to 70 FPS at 4K. Medium settings follow a similar trajectory: 185.6 FPS at 1080p, 117.5 FPS at 1440p, and 64.4 FPS at 4K. Ultra settings are the most demanding, with 120.1 FPS at 1080p, 78.7 FPS at 1440p, and 37.5 FPS at 4K.

This resolution scaling behavior indicates that the graphics card is the primary limiting component at higher resolutions. The frame rate drops are roughly proportional to the increase in pixel count, which is characteristic of GPU-bound scenarios. At 1080p, the high frame rates across all settings suggest that the CPU is capable of feeding the GPU adequately, but the Arc B580's rendering throughput becomes the bottleneck as pixel count rises. The 4K Ultra result of 37.5 FPS is particularly telling — it falls below commonly accepted playable thresholds, indicating that this combination is not suited for maximum settings at that resolution.

The gap between Low and Ultra settings widens as resolution increases. At 1080p, the difference is 93.9 FPS (214 vs 120.1). At 1440p, it narrows to 55.1 FPS (133.8 vs 78.7). At 4K, the spread is 32.5 FPS (70 vs 37.5). This compression suggests that at lower resolutions, the CPU can still push high frame rates even with heavier settings, but at 4K, the GPU's raw throughput dominates regardless of settings.

How This Combo Ranks

In the benchmark database, this specific CPU-GPU pairing for Ready Or Not ranks 1384 out of 1748 tested combinations. This places it in the lower third of all tested combos, which is notable given the hardware involved. The rank reflects the combined performance of the Intel Core i5-12400 and Intel Arc B580 specifically within this game's workload.

The CPU itself carries a percentile rank of 77 against all processors in the database, meaning it outperforms roughly three-quarters of all CPUs tested. Its average benchmark score of 19850 places it in close competition with several established processors.

The combo's low rank in this game, despite respectable individual component scores, suggests that the pairing does not scale as well as other combinations in Ready Or Not's specific engine. The game appears to favor different hardware configurations, and the data indicates that many other tested combos achieve higher frame rates in this title.

GPU Role

The Intel Arc B580 is built on the Xe2-HPG architecture and uses the BMG-G21 chip, manufactured on a 5 nm process by TSMC. It features 2560 shading units, 160 texture mapping units, and 80 raster output pipelines, along with 20 ray tracing cores. The GPU operates at a base clock of 2670 MHz and a boost clock of 2670 MHz, meaning it runs at a fixed frequency without dynamic boosting.

Memory configuration consists of 12 GB of GDDR6 on a 192-bit bus, delivering a bandwidth of 456.0 GB/s. The memory clock is 2375 MHz, which translates to 19 Gbps effective. This memory capacity is substantial for a modern GPU and provides ample headroom for texture-heavy titles like Ready Or Not, which features detailed environments and multiple AI-driven characters.

The GPU's pixel rate is 213.6 GPixel/s and its texture rate is 427.2 GTexel/s. Floating point performance is rated at 13.67 TFLOPS for FP32 and 27.34 TFLOPS for FP16 with a 2:1 ratio. These specifications indicate a mid-range graphics card that should handle 1080p and 1440p gaming well, but may struggle at 4K with maximum settings.

The measured FPS data supports this assessment. At 1080p, the Arc B580 delivers excellent frame rates across all settings, from 214 FPS at Low to 120.1 FPS at Ultra. At 1440p, the card still performs admirably, with 133.8 FPS at Low and 78.7 FPS at Ultra. However, at 4K, the card's limitations become apparent: 70 FPS at Low, 64.4 FPS at Medium, 53.6 FPS at High, and just 37.5 FPS at Ultra.

The GPU's 12 GB VRAM is not a limiting factor in this game at any tested resolution, as even the 4K Ultra configuration stays within memory limits. The bottleneck at 4K is the GPU's raw compute throughput, not its memory capacity. The card's 20 ray tracing cores are present but their impact on this title's performance is not separately measured in the data.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the Intel Core i5-12400 and Intel Arc B580 combination produces its strongest results. Low settings yield an average of 214 FPS, Medium settings produce 185.6 FPS, High settings deliver 174 FPS, and Ultra settings achieve 120.1 FPS. The differences between Low and Medium (28.4 FPS) and Medium to High (11.6 FPS) are moderate, while the jump from High to Ultra (53.9 FPS) is substantial, indicating that Ultra settings impose a significant additional load.

At 2560x1440, the frame rates remain playable across all settings. Low settings average 133.8 FPS, Medium settings reach 117.5 FPS, High settings deliver 106.3 FPS, and Ultra settings produce 78.7 FPS. The relative spacing between settings narrows compared to 1080p, with the largest gap again between High and Ultra at 27.6 FPS. The 1440p results show that this combination can handle high refresh rate monitors at this resolution for most settings.

At 3840x2160, performance drops considerably. Low settings average 70 FPS, Medium settings reach 64.4 FPS, High settings deliver 53.6 FPS, and Ultra settings drop to 37.5 FPS. The 4K results indicate that only Low and Medium settings provide consistently smooth gameplay, while High settings are borderline and Ultra is below comfortable playability. The difference between Low and Medium at 4K is just 5.6 FPS, suggesting that Medium adds visual quality with minimal performance cost at this resolution.

The overall pattern shows that this combination is best suited for 1080p gaming at any settings, capable at 1440p with settings reduced from Ultra, and limited at 4K to lower settings. The data reveals that the performance ceiling at 4K is the GPU, as even the lowest settings cannot push the frame rate substantially higher.

CPU Role

The Intel Core i5-12400 is a 6-core, 12-thread processor from the Core 12th Gen series, based on the Alder Lake architecture. It has a base clock of 2.50 GHz and a boost clock of 4.40 GHz, with a 65 W TDP. The processor is manufactured on Intel's 10 nm process node with a die size of 163 mm². Cache configuration includes 80 KB of L1 per core, 1.25 MB of L2 per core, and 18 MB of shared L3 cache.

Benchmark scores for the CPU show balanced performance across workloads. In Cinebench R23, it scores 15935 multicore and 2249 single-core. PassMark tests show 18747 for multithread and 3456 for single-thread. The 3DMark thread scaling tests reveal good scaling from 2 threads (1692) to 4 threads (3012) to 8 threads (4745) and up to 16 threads (5873), indicating that the 12 threads are well utilized.

In Ready Or Not, the CPU's role becomes evident when examining the frame rates at 1080p. The high average FPS at this resolution — 214 at Low settings — suggests that the CPU is not the primary bottleneck. Even at Ultra settings, the 120.1 FPS result indicates that the processor can feed the GPU sufficiently at 1080p. However, the fact that Ultra settings reduce performance by 93.9 FPS compared to Low at 1080p points to a combination of CPU and GPU load from the game's AI and physics systems.

The CPU's nearest rivals in the database — the Intel Core i7-9700 and Intel Core i7-8700 — have similar average scores, with deltas of 0.1% and -0.2% respectively. This indicates that the i5-12400 is competitive with older higher-tier processors, though its 6-core/12-thread configuration may not scale as well in games that favor higher core counts. The 3DMark 16-thread score of 5873 is nearly identical to the max-thread score of 5890, suggesting that the processor's 12 threads are fully utilized and there is little headroom for additional thread scaling.

The data shows that at 4K resolution, the CPU's performance becomes less relevant as the GPU becomes the limiting factor. The frame rate drops from 1080p to 4K are consistent with GPU-bound behavior, and the CPU's clock speed of 4.40 GHz boost is sufficient to maintain playable frame rates even at lower settings. The 65 W TDP indicates efficient power draw, though this is not directly measured in the game's performance data.
