Ready Or Not

Resolution Scaling — how FPS drops from 1080p to 4K and what it says about the limiting component

The measured FPS data for Ready Or Not with the Intel Core i5-12400 and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 reveals a predictable but telling scaling pattern. At 1920x1080 with High settings, the combo produces 210.1 FPS. Moving to 2560x1440 drops that to 136.1 FPS, a significant reduction of 74 FPS. At 3840x2160, the average falls further to 68.1 FPS. This trajectory — from well over 200 FPS at 1080p to under 70 FPS at 4K — indicates that the rendering load scales heavily with pixel count, which is typical for a GPU-bound scenario at higher resolutions.

The interesting nuance appears when comparing the Low and Ultra settings across resolutions. At 1080p Low, the system hits 266.8 FPS, while at 4K Low it still manages 87.7 FPS. The gap between Low and Ultra at 1080p is 117.2 FPS (266.8 vs 149.6), whereas at 4K the same setting gap is only 37.4 FPS (87.7 vs 50.3). This compression of the settings delta at 4K suggests that the GPU is nearing its throughput ceiling at the higher resolution, making the jump from Low to Ultra relatively less punishing in absolute terms because the baseline pixel cost is already so high.

The data implies that at 1080p, the i5-12400's six cores and 12 threads are more than sufficient to feed the RTX 4060, allowing the GPU to stretch its legs. The 266.8 FPS at Low settings is a strong indicator that the CPU is not the bottleneck in this title at lower resolutions. However, the sharp drop to 50.3 FPS at 4K Ultra points to the GPU's 8 GB of GDDR6 memory and 128-bit bus becoming the primary constraint. The RTX 4060's 272.0 GB/s bandwidth is adequate for 1080p and 1440p, but the 4K Ultra preset appears to demand more memory throughput and capacity than this card can comfortably provide, resulting in the lowest measured average of the entire set.

GPU Role — VRAM, clocks, and how they relate to this game's results

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 operates with a base clock of 1830 MHz and a boost clock of 2460 MHz, built on the 5 nm AD107 chip with 3072 shading units. Its 8 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 128-bit bus delivers 272.0 GB/s of bandwidth. In Ready Or Not, these specifications translate to a clear pattern: the card is capable of high frame rates at 1080p and 1440p, but 4K pushes it into uncomfortable territory.

At 2560x1440 Medium, the combo achieves 147.1 FPS, which is a very playable figure for a tactical shooter. The 4K Ultra result of 50.3 FPS, however, suggests the 8 GB VRAM capacity is being stressed. The game's Ultra preset likely includes higher-resolution textures and more detailed environmental geometry, which can exceed 8 GB in demanding scenes. The 128-bit memory interface, while efficient for the card's class, limits how quickly data can be shuffled, and the 4K Ultra data confirms this limitation.

The RTX 4060's benchmark scores place it in the 66th percentile of all GPUs, with an average benchmark score of 23181. Its nearest rival, the AMD Radeon RX 6600M, scores 23321, a delta of -0.6%, indicating the two are nearly identical in synthetic performance. The Intel Arc B580 trails at 23021, just 0.7% behind. In real-world Ready Or Not measurements, the RTX 4060's performance at 1440p High (136.1 FPS) shows it has ample headroom for competitive play, but the 4K Ultra figure is the only sub-60 FPS result in the entire dataset, marking a clear boundary for this GPU's capabilities in this game.

Measured FPS Breakdown — resolution by resolution, settings by settings, exact numbers

At 1920x1080, the RTX 4060 and i5-12400 deliver their strongest results. Low settings produce 266.8 FPS, Medium drops to 230.4 FPS, High reaches 210.1 FPS, and Ultra falls to 149.6 FPS. The step from Medium to High costs 20.3 FPS, while the jump from High to Ultra costs 60.5 FPS — a much larger penalty, suggesting the Ultra preset introduces effects that heavily tax the GPU.

Moving to 2560x1440, the numbers remain strong but show the expected decline. Low hits 166 FPS, Medium reaches 147.1 FPS, High achieves 136.1 FPS, and Ultra bottoms out at 96.6 FPS. The gap between Low and High at this resolution is 29.9 FPS, which is narrower than at 1080p (56.7 FPS difference between Low and High). This narrowing indicates the GPU is beginning to saturate, with the pixel count becoming a more significant factor than the settings changes.

At 3840x2160, the performance drops sharply. Low yields 87.7 FPS, Medium produces 75 FPS, High gives 68.1 FPS, and Ultra falls to 50.3 FPS. The spread from Low to Ultra is 37.4 FPS, which is actually smaller than at 1080p (117.2 FPS) and 1440p (69.4 FPS). This compressed range at 4K suggests that the GPU is limited by raw pixel throughput rather than specific settings, as even the Low preset cannot escape the cost of rendering 8.3 million pixels per frame.

CPU Role — cores, clocks, and how they relate to this game's results

The Intel Core i5-12400 brings six cores and 12 threads to this pairing, with a base clock of 2.50 GHz and a boost clock of 4.40 GHz. This Alder Lake-S chip has 18 MB of shared L3 cache and supports dual-channel DDR4 or DDR5 memory. Its synthetic benchmark scores show a single-thread performance of 910 in 3dmark and 2249 in Cinebench R23, with multi-thread scores of 5890 and 15935 respectively. These figures place the CPU in the 77th percentile of all processors.

In Ready Or Not, the CPU's role appears to be supportive rather than dominant. The 1080p Low result of 266.8 FPS is the strongest indicator that the i5-12400 can feed the RTX 4060 without becoming a constraint. At 1080p High, the 210.1 FPS still shows no CPU limitation, as the gap between Low and High (56.7 FPS) is consistent with GPU-bound scaling. The i5-12400's nearest rivals in synthetic benchmarks — the Intel Core i7-9700 at 19831 (0.1% higher) and the Intel Core i7-8700 at 19894 (0.2% lower) — all exhibit similar multi-thread capability, reinforcing that this 12th-gen chip is more than adequate for this title.

The 65W TDP and 10 nm process node mean the CPU is efficient, and its 12 threads handle the game's AI and physics calculations without issue. There is no measured data indicating CPU bottleneck at any resolution or setting in this dataset. Even at 4K Ultra where the GPU drops to 50.3 FPS, the CPU is not the limiting factor — the GPU's 8 GB VRAM and 128-bit bus are the evident constraints.

Settings Recommendations — which preset gives the best experience per the measured rows

For players using this combo in Ready Or Not, the measured data points to 1440p High as the sweet spot. At 136.1 FPS, it provides a smooth, high-refresh experience that takes full advantage of the RTX 4060's capabilities without pushing into diminishing returns. The step from High to Ultra at this resolution costs 39.5 FPS (down to 96.6 FPS), which is a significant sacrifice for visual gains that may not be noticeable in fast-paced tactical gameplay.

At 1080p, Medium settings at 230.4 FPS are the most sensible choice for competitive play, as they offer a substantial frame rate advantage over High (20.3 FPS difference) while still maintaining good visual fidelity. Ultra at 1080p, at 149.6 FPS, is playable but the 60.5 FPS drop from High is hard to justify unless the player prioritizes graphics over responsiveness.

For 4K users, the data is clear: stick to Low or Medium settings. The 87.7 FPS at Low and 75 FPS at Medium are both playable, while High (68.1 FPS) and Ultra (50.3 FPS) fall below the ideal threshold for a tactical shooter where quick target acquisition matters. The RTX 4060's 8 GB memory capacity is the deciding factor here — the Ultra preset at 4K simply demands more than this card can deliver, so adjusting expectations downward is the rational choice. The measured data supports a recommendation of 1440p High as the default, with 1080p Medium for those chasing maximum frame rates and 4K Low for those who must play at that resolution.
