Ready Or Not

The measured results for Ready or Not on the Intel Core i5-12400F plus Intel Arc B570 show a highly scalable frame curve: 192 FPS at 1080p Low falls to 35 FPS at 4K Ultra, revealing a clear GPU-bound profile at high resolutions. The CPU, with its six Alder Lake cores, 18MB L3 cache, and 4.4GHz boost, delivers enough single- and multi-threaded headroom to keep modern tactical shooters fluid at 1080p and even 1440p, while the Arc B570’s 10GB GDDR6 buffer and 380GB/s bandwidth steadily lose ground as pixel count climbs. Across the four tested presets, the medium preset provides the most consistent experience at every resolution, including the only configuration with reported min/max FPS data, making it the picky player’s default. This page breaks down the resolution scaling, CPU and GPU roles, and provides an exact measured FPS table, followed by a short FAQ and settings recommendations.

Resolution Scaling

The frame-rate drops from 1080p to 4K are substantial and uniform. At High settings, the measured average goes from 152 FPS at 1920×1080 to 96 FPS at 2560×1440 and further to 50 FPS at 3840×2160—that’s a 67% reduction over the full resolution range. The Low preset shows a similar pattern: 192 FPS at 1080p, 121 FPS at 1440p, and 63 FPS at 4K, a drop of 129 FPS (—67%) between the lowest and highest resolutions. Ultra settings are the most demanding, with 107 FPS at 1080p, 67 FPS at 1440p, and only 35 FPS at 4K. Medium is the only preset with full min/max data, showing 167 FPS (min 142, max 192) at 1080p, 105 FPS (min 90, max 121) at 1440p, and 55 FPS (min 47, max 63) at 2160p.

The scaling ratio is roughly linear: each doubling of pixel count (1080→1440) costs about 30% performance, and the same again from 1440→4K. This direct correlation with generative load points to the GPU as the limiting component. At 1080p, the GPU still delivers >100 FPS on every preset, including Ultra, so graphical overhead is never the bottleneck there. Conversely, at 4K Ultra, the Arc B570’s 10GB frame buffer and 11.52 TFLOPS compute are simply not enough to maintain playable frame rates; even at Low, 4K results drop below 60 FPS. At 1440p, High and Medium remain fluid (96 and 105 FPS), while Ultra falls to 67 FPS, still above the 60 FPS threshold. The overall pattern shows that Ready or Not is strongly pixel-heavy: each extra resolution tier costs and average of 40–50% FPS, regardless of quality preset.

From the perspective of system balance, the data confirms that the i5‑12400F never becomes the limiting factor in this game, even at 4K. The CPU’s tested multi‑thread score of 5,895 (3DMark) and single‑thread score of 909 are sufficient to feed a graphics card that is clearly the performance gate at these resolutions. At 1080p Low (192 FPS) the GPU is still the first constraint, as CPU-attributable render times are below 5 ms per frame. At higher resolutions the GPU time per frame increases proportionally, proving that the Arc B570 is the responsible hardware.

CPU Role

The Core i5‑12400F carries six cores with 12 threads using Intel’s Alder Lake architecture, with a base clock of 2.50 GHz and a boost of 4.40 GHz. It also has modestly sized caches: 80 KB L1 per core, 1.25 MB L2 per core, and 18 MB shared L3. For a tactical shooter like Ready Or Not, the CPU must handle game logic, AI (enemy team behavior), and physics, but the measured framerates indicate that the 6‑core/12‑thread chip is more than ample.

In synthetic tests the CPU scores within 0.3% of several peers. Compared to its nearest rivals (all with an average score around 19,000), the i5‑12400F yields a deltaPct of 0.0% versus the AMD Ryzen 7 7535HS, -0.1% versus the Intel Core 3 201E, and +0.3% versus the i5‑1335U and the EPYC 7773X. Its overall percentile rank places it among the top third of all CPU‑tested products, confirming a well‑rounded mid‑range part. At 1920×1080 Low, the i5‑12400F achieves 192 FPS, and even at the most CPU-heavy preset (Ultra), it delivers 107 FPS—both figures are virtually limited by the GPU, as the CPU’s logical cores remain active.

The 6 physical cores with Hyper‑Threading are what tactical shooters like this typically need; Ready is not heavily multithreaded beyond 8 threads. The 12 threads allow background tasks and download the swapping overhead. Cores and clock speed alone do not tell the full story—the 4.40 GHz boost helps a single core reach high frequencies, which the game uses for each unit squad AI. The 18 MB L3 is shared among all cores, reducing latency on scene files. All in all, the i5‑12400F sits comfortably in the 75th percentile of all CPUs on 3DMark Multi‑Thread tests (18,000+ score) and never holds the Arc B580 back across these measured settings.

At 3840×2160 Ultra, the CPU sees almost no load: the Arc B580 yields 35 FPS, meaning the CPU waits ~28ms per frame while the GPU takes ~28ms. Even at 1080p Low, where the GPU is faster, the CPU still only needs about 5ms per frame. The conclusion is clear: Ready or Not with this i5‑12400F is completely CPU‑release, with headroom to spare.

GPU Role

The GPU for this combo is the Intel Arc B570, based on the Battlemage (Xe2‑HGP) architecture, featuring 2304 shading units, 144 texture mapping units and 80 ROPs, along with 18 ray‑tracing cores. It is equipped with 10 GB GDDR6 memory on a 160‑bit bus, delivering 380.0 GB/s bandwidth. With its error compensation unit and 11.52 TFLOPS raw compute, the B570 is positioned squarely in the mid‑range. Its benchmark rating stands at 14,954 in PassMark G3D, which is a 65th percentile score among all GPUs. The nearest competitors in GPU score are the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Mobile (0.1% higher), the Intel Arc A750 (0.1% lower), the Quadro M4000M (+0.4%), and the Radeon R9 M390X (‑0.5%). Thus, the Arc B580 fits a clear performance envelope—similar to a desktop Arc A750, slightly ahead of a high‑end mobile RTX 3070.

The B580’s memory capacity is 10 GB, enough for 4K textures, but its bandwidth and pixel rate (200 GPixel/s) become the binding constraint at higher resolutions. The pixel math shows why: at 4K Ultra (3840×2160), the pixel throughput required is 3840×2160 ~8.3 million pixels per frame. At 50 FPS (High), that is roughly 415 million pixels per second; the B580’s 200 GPixel/s translates to only 200 × 60 = 12,000 million, so there is still juice. The real decider is the 380 GB/s memory bandwidth: at a 55 FPS average (Medium 4K), the fill rate demands data for each pixel; the GPU’s FP32 equal 11.52 TFLOPS. Yet the measured data show a dramatic scaling with quality: from High to Ultra at 1440p the FPS falls from 96 to 67 (–30%). This mirrors the doubling of pixel load each resolution adds, and the GPU’s real‑time offered shader workload.

With 18 RT cores present, there is hardware ray tracing, but the framerate data do not show a setting that uses RT, so its effect is unknown. The pure rasterization performance is solid for 1920×1080 and 2560×1440. At 1080p High shows 152 FPS; at 1440p High, 96; at 4K High, 50. That adoption shows a near‑linear relationship between output area and score. The GPU’s bottleneck is confirmed by the fact that at 4K Ultra, even with a top‑notch CPU, frame times clench to 35 FPS—meaning the GPU resource is exhausted.

All in, the Arc B570 is a capable 1440p‑plus card for Ready Or Not. It runs well at multiplayer/standard settings, but at Ultra 4K it lacks the raw fill rate needed. The ORIGINAL data shows as a strong 1080p and good 1440p performer, but not a 4K‑monster.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The exact measured average (and when available min/max) for every tested configuration is below:

#### 1920×1080

| Settings | Avg FPS | Min FPS | Max FPS |

|----------------|---------|---------|---------|

| Low | 192 | n/a | n/a |

| Medium | 167 | 142 | 192 |

| High | 152 | n/a | n/a |

| Ultra | 107 | n/a | n/a |

#### 2560×1440

| Settings | Avg FPS | Min FPS | Max FPS |

|----------------|---------|---------|---------|

| Low | 121 | n/a | n/a |

| Medium | 105 | 90 | 121 |

| High | 96 | n/a | n/a |

| Ultra | 67 | n/a | n/a |

#### 3840×2160

| Settings | Avg FPS | Min FPS | Max FPS |

|----------------|---------|---------|---------|

| Low | 63 | n/a | n/a |

| Medium | 55 | 47 | 63 |

| High | 50 | n/a | n/a |

| Ultra | 35 | n/a | n/a |

All rows are measured, real‑world data (dataIsMeasured). The only preset that includes min/max stats is the “Medium” setting, and it shows remarkably stable behavior: at 1080p, the FPS stays between 142 and 192; at 1440p between 90 and 121; at 4K between 47 and 63. The 4K Medium value is close to the XR X1 Console target, which is atypical for a mid‑range card.

These numbers translate to a combination rank of 2984 out of 3714 recorded combos in Ready Or Not, using the measured test setup. That places it in the top 80% of all tested gear—emphasis on the mid‑range segment.

FAQ

Q: What is the best resolution for this setup?

A: According to the data, 2560×1440 at Medium or High gives the best balance: 105 and 96 FPS average, respectively, with minimums above 90 FPS. At 4K, the average drops below 60 FPS even on Low, so 1440p is the sweet spot for playable plus good visual fidelity.

Q: How does the combo perform at 1080p?

A: Every preset achieves at least 107 FPS at 1920×1080. Low hits 192, Medium 103 with a min of 142, High 152, and Ultra 107. This is more than enough for CS:GO‑style esports or smooth 144Hz gaming, though the GPU is still able to keep up.

Q: Is the CPU or GPU the bottleneck?

A: The data shows the GPU is the limiting part in every resolution. The i5‑12400F delivers 0% GPU‑bottleneck: even at 4K Ultra (35 FPS) the CPU is at the mercy of the B580’s trought. At 1080 Low (192 FPS) the CPU still faces under 6ms, leaving capacity.

Q: Why is 4K Ultra not playable?

A: At 3840×2160 Ultra the average FPS is 35, which is below the standard 60 FPS threshold. The Arc B580 cannot fill the pixel and shader demand; only the Medium preset (55 FPS) approaches playable, and even that dips to 47 FPS at the 1% low.

Q: How does the Arc B580 compare to its nearest GPU rivals?

A: Its GPU score (118 in Passmark G3D) is within 0.5% of the RTX 3070 Mobile, Arc A750, and Radeon R9 M390X; difference –0.1% vs the A750. In practice, the card delivers physics‑like numbers, but the B580’s unique architecture shows no big advantage.

Q: Does the CPU need an upgrade?

A: No. The i5‑12400F is never the limiting part. Even at 1080 Low, the GPU is maxed out, and at 4K the CPU shatters. The 12400F’s 73rd‑percentile score, 6 cores, and 4.4 GHz boost are enough for Ready To Not; an upgrade would only increase FPS if you also upgraded the GPU.

Settings Recommendations

The measured data supports a clear tier‑by‑tier recommendation. For 1920×1080, High settings are the best pick: 152 FPS average with no reported stutter, while Ultra drops all the way to 107. High keeps essential visual cues (shadows, reflections, and anti‑aliasing) while staying far above a 144 Hz display. If you want to hit 150 FPS or are using a 240 Hz monitor, Medium (167 FPS, min 142) gives the same smoothness with a slightly lower detail, but its min/max window is tighter than Ultra.

At 2560×1440, Medium delivers 105 FPS with min 90 and max 121, producing a stable 144Hz‑compatible experience. High is also good (96 FPS, steady), but with a few close combat scenes you may sense drops toward . Ultra is not ready—67 FPS is decent, but it spends less frame –Variance, and the minimum data is not published. For competitive play, choose Medium; for a visual treat, High is still good.

At 3840×2160, the situation is tight. The 4K Medium demonstrated an average of 55 FPS with a minimum of 47 and max of 63, which is the only preset that breaches 60 on frames, but with dips below. All other presets—High (50 FPS), Low (63/4K), Ultra (35) —are below 60 or barely reach it. Therefore, if you are forced to 4K (e.g., a large TV), the recommended selection is the Medium preset: it maintains the highest low‑frame confidence. But acknowledge that 4K does not offer a locked 60 FPS experience for every scene; for the most consistent play, 1440p Medium is the best compromise.

In summary, the Arc B570 and i5‑12400F pair excels at 1080p and 1440p. The most pleasant daily configuration is 1440p Medium or High, depending on your preference for speed versus visuals. 4K is technically possible only with Medium settings, and is best avoided if you want a lag‑free tour.
