Ready Or Not

The Intel Core i5-12400F paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 delivers a measured performance profile in Ready Or Not that places it 555th out of 1,748 tested combos. This combination of a 6-core, 12-thread Alder Lake processor and an Ampere-based GPU with 10 GB of GDDR6X memory produces average frame rates ranging from 63.3 FPS at 4K Ultra to 353.4 FPS at 1080p Low, according to the benchmark data. The CPU, with a base clock of 2.50 GHz and boost up to 4.40 GHz, holds a 77th percentile ranking among all CPUs, while the GPU sits at the 80th percentile, indicating a well-matched pair for this tactical shooter.

How This Combo Ranks

The combo ranks 555th out of 1,748 tested combos, placing it in the upper third of the field. The CPU itself holds a 77th percentile ranking among all CPUs, with an average benchmark score of 19,221. Its nearest rivals include the Intel Core i7-8700K (0.1% higher score), the Intel Core i5-1335U (0.3% higher), the AMD Ryzen 5 7533HS (0.7% lower), and the AMD EPYC 7773X (1.3% higher). The GPU, meanwhile, sits at the 80th percentile with an average score of 35,787, and its nearest rivals are the AMD Radeon Pro Duo (0.2% lower), the AMD Radeon 880M (0.4% higher), the AMD Radeon RX 7900 GRE (0.9% lower), and the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti Mobile (1% higher). These relative positions suggest the combo is well-balanced, with both components performing near the top of their respective classes. The CPU’s Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 16,518 and single-core score of 2,332 further underscore its capability for gaming workloads, while the GPU’s PassMark G3D score of 25,086 and compute score of 14,397 reinforce its strong standing.

GPU Role

The RTX 3080 brings 10 GB of GDDR6X memory on a 320-bit bus, delivering 760.3 GB/s of bandwidth. Its base clock is 1440 MHz with a boost of 1710 MHz, and memory runs at 1188 MHz (19 Gbps effective). The GPU has 8,704 shading units, 272 TMUs, 96 ROPs, 68 RT cores, and 272 tensor cores. In Ready Or Not, the GPU’s role is evident in the frame rate scaling: at 4K Ultra, the average FPS drops to 63.3, while at 1080p Low it reaches 353.4. The 10 GB frame buffer is sufficient for the game’s textures at all tested settings, as the data shows no anomalies that would indicate VRAM overflow. The GPU’s compute performance, measured at 29.77 TFLOPS FP32, supports the high frame rates observed at lower resolutions. The memory bandwidth of 760.3 GB/s ensures that texture streaming and high-resolution assets are handled without stutter, as evidenced by the consistent frame times implied by the average FPS figures. The GPU’s 68 RT cores and 272 tensor cores are not directly stressed by this title’s measured settings, but they contribute to the overall feature set that allows the game to run at high presets without compromising the frame rate.

Resolution Scaling

The measured FPS data shows a clear resolution scaling pattern. At High settings, the average frame rate falls from 277.2 at 1080p to 178.6 at 1440p and 91.2 at 4K. At Low settings, the progression is 353.4, 224.6, and 113.8. Medium settings yield 308.5, 192.9, and 101.3, while Ultra produces 197.6, 126, and 63.3. The drop from 1080p to 1440p is less severe than from 1440p to 4K, indicating that the GPU becomes increasingly limiting as pixel count rises. At 1080p, the frame rates are so high that the CPU likely becomes the primary constraint, especially at Low and Medium settings where the GPU has ample headroom. At 4K, the GPU’s raw throughput and memory bandwidth are the dominant factors, as evidenced by the steep decline in FPS across all presets. The data suggests that the i5-12400F is capable of feeding the RTX 3080 at 1080p and 1440p, but at 4K the GPU’s workload dominates, and the CPU’s role diminishes. This scaling behavior is typical for a high-end GPU paired with a mid-range CPU, where the balance shifts from CPU-bound at low resolutions to GPU-bound at high resolutions.

Measured FPS Breakdown

| Resolution | Settings | Avg FPS |

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

| 3840x2160 | High | 91.2 |

| 3840x2160 | Low | 113.8 |

| 3840x2160 | Medium | 101.3 |

| 3840x2160 | Ultra | 63.3 |

| 2560x1440 | High | 178.6 |

| 2560x1440 | Low | 224.6 |

| 2560x1440 | Medium | 192.9 |

| 2560x1440 | Ultra | 126 |

| 1920x1080 | High | 277.2 |

| 1920x1080 | Low | 353.4 |

| 1920x1080 | Medium | 308.5 |

| 1920x1080 | Ultra | 197.6 |

At 1080p, even Ultra settings produce 197.6 FPS, which is well above typical display refresh rates. At 1440p, Ultra drops to 126 FPS, still smooth for most monitors. At 4K, only Low and Medium exceed 100 FPS, with High at 91.2 and Ultra at 63.3. The gap between Medium and High at 4K is 10.1 FPS, while the gap between High and Ultra is 27.9 FPS, showing that Ultra imposes a significant penalty. At 1440p, the difference between High and Ultra is 52.6 FPS, and at 1080p it is 79.6 FPS, indicating that Ultra is disproportionately demanding at all resolutions. The data also shows that Low settings provide a substantial boost over Medium at every resolution, with gains of 44.9 FPS at 1080p, 31.7 FPS at 1440p, and 12.5 FPS at 4K. This suggests that the game’s Low preset reduces GPU load significantly, making it a viable option for players seeking maximum frame rates.

Settings Recommendations

Based on the measured rows, the best experience depends on the target resolution. For 1080p, Ultra is viable at 197.6 FPS, offering the highest visual quality without sacrificing frame rate. At 1440p, High at 178.6 FPS provides a strong balance, while Ultra at 126 FPS is also playable for high-refresh-rate displays. At 4K, High at 91.2 FPS is the sweet spot, as it delivers near-90 FPS with better visuals than Medium (101.3) or Low (113.8) but with a significant quality jump over Ultra (63.3). For players prioritizing frame rate over visuals, Low at 4K yields 113.8 FPS, but the visual compromise is substantial. The data suggests that High settings at 4K offer the best combination of smoothness and fidelity, while Ultra is best reserved for 1080p or 1440p where the frame rate remains above 120 FPS. At 1080p, even Medium at 308.5 FPS is far beyond any display’s refresh rate, so players can freely choose Ultra for maximum detail. At 1440p, Medium at 192.9 FPS is also a strong option for those who want a margin above 144 Hz. The measured results indicate that the i5-12400F and RTX 3080 combination is capable of delivering a high-refresh-rate experience at 1080p and 1440p, and a solid 60+ FPS experience at 4K with High settings.
