Ready Or Not

Ready Or Not is a tactical shooter released on 2021-12-16. This measured configuration pairs the Intel Core i5-14600K with the AMD Radeon RX 570, and the database includes FPS measurements for Low, Medium, High, and Ultra at 1920x1080, 2560x1440, and 3840x2160. The combination ranks 1642 out of 1748 tested combinations in this game, even though the CPU sits in the 93rd percentile of all CPUs and the GPU sits in the 74th percentile of all GPUs.

Settings Recommendations

The measured rows provide average FPS only, so the recommendation is based on average frame rate. At 1920x1080, Low averages 110.1, Medium 92.4, High 86.3, and Ultra 62.1. Every measured 1080p preset stays at or above 62.1, which means the choice at this resolution is mostly about visual quality. High is the quality tier that still keeps the average above 86.3, while Ultra drops to 62.1. If the goal is to preserve as much visual quality as possible without leaving the 1080p preset ladder’s highest measured tier, High is the strongest measured choice.

At 2560x1440, Low averages 71.1, Medium 59.9, High 55.2, and Ultra 35.6. Low is the only preset at this resolution that sits clearly above the others, and Medium falls only slightly behind Low with 59.9. The data suggests that 1440p users who want the highest measured average should use Low, while Medium is the reasonable middle ground for those who prefer the medium visual tier. High’s 55.2 is close to Medium’s 59.9, but both are below Low. Ultra is substantially lower at 35.6.

At 3840x2160, no preset comes close to the 1440p results. Low averages 38.3, Medium 31.7, High 30.2, and Ultra 22.1. Low is the fastest measured 4K preset, and Ultra is the slowest. Medium and High are close to each other in average FPS, which suggests the Ultra preset carries a particularly heavy load for this GPU. For 4K, the measured data points to Low as the best balance; the higher presets reduce the average significantly without any tier reaching Low’s 38.3.

GPU Role

The AMD Radeon RX 570 is a Polaris 20 GPU built on GlobalFoundries’ 14 nm process. It has 2048 shading units, 128 TMUs, and 32 ROPs. Its base clock is 1168 MHz and its boost clock is 1244 MHz. The memory configuration is 4 GB GDDR5 on a 256-bit bus, running at 1750 MHz with 7 Gbps effective speed. That produces 224.0 GB/s of memory bandwidth. The GPU’s average benchmark score is 30158, placing it in the 74th percentile of all GPUs.

These characteristics line up with the measured game data in a consistent way. At 1920x1080, the RX 570 can keep Low at 110.1, Medium at 92.4, and High at 86.3, but Ultra drops to 62.1. At 2560x1440, Low is still 71.1, while Ultra falls to 35.6. At 3840x2160, even Low manages only 38.3, and Ultra produces 22.1. The GPU’s aggregate benchmark position explains part of this: it is a 74th-percentile part, not a top-tier card, so the highest settings at high resolutions become difficult.

The nearest rivals in the GPU database benchmark are NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 with an average score of 30109 and a deltaPct of 0.2, AMD Radeon RX 7700 XT with 30109 and 0.2, NVIDIA Tesla M60 with 29969 and 0.6, and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Mobile with 29928 and 0.8. Those aggregate scores are close, but the Ready Or Not measured rows show how strongly preset and resolution choices affect this particular GPU’s output.

| 3840x2160 | Ultra | 22.1 |

The 1080p rows show a wide spread from Low at 110.1 to Ultra at 62.1. The 1440p rows show the same ordering, but every preset loses ground: Low 71.1, Medium 59.9, High 55.2, Ultra 35.6. At 4K, the ordering remains Low 38.3, Medium 31.7, High 30.2, Ultra 22.1. The measured averages are consistent across all three resolutions, with Low always the fastest and Ultra always the slowest.

Resolution Scaling

The FPS progression from 1080p to 1440p to 4K is sharp at every preset. Low moves from 110.1 at 1080p to 71.1 at 1440p and 38.3 at 4K. Medium moves from 92.4 to 59.9 to 31.7. High moves from 86.3 to 55.2 to 30.2. Ultra moves from 62.1 to 35.6 to 22.1.

This pattern indicates that pixel count has a large effect on the measured frame rate. The CPU is a 93rd-percentile processor with high aggregate benchmark scores, while the GPU is a 74th-percentile part with 4 GB of GDDR5 memory and 224.0 GB/s bandwidth. The consistent drop as resolution increases suggests the graphics card is the main limiting component in this pairing. If the CPU were the constraint, the frame rate would not fall as sharply when the same preset is run at higher resolution.

CPU Role

The Intel Core i5-14600K is a Raptor Lake Refresh desktop CPU with 14 cores and 20 threads. Its base clock is 3.50 GHz and its boost clock is 5.30 GHz. It has 80 KB of L1 cache per core, 2 MB of L2 cache per core, and 24 MB of shared L3 cache. It supports DDR4 and DDR5 memory in dual-channel mode. These specifications place it in the 93rd percentile of all CPUs, with an average benchmark score of 49166.

Benchmark results reinforce the CPU’s strength. Cinebench R23 multi-core is 32881 and single-core is 4642. Geekbench multicore is 15846 and singlecore is 2803. PassMark multithread is 38682 and single thread is 4270. In the nearest-rival list, the i5-14600K is 0.2% above the AMD Ryzen 9 5950X and 1% above the Intel Xeon Gold 5318H, while trailing the Intel Core i5-14600KF by 0.4% and the AMD EPYC 4345P by 0.9%.

Because the CPU’s general benchmark position is much higher than the GPU’s, the measured Ready Or Not scores are more likely to be limited by graphics performance. The CPU still matters for maintaining high frame rates at lower resolutions, and the 1080p results show that this CPU is capable of supporting averages above 100 when the GPU is not overloaded.

How This Combo Ranks

The combo’s in-game rank is 1642 out of 1748 tested combinations. That places it near the lower end of the game’s tested pool. The CPU alone is very strong, with an average benchmark score of 49166 and a 93rd-percentile position, while the GPU’s average benchmark score is 30158 and its position is 74th. The gap between these component percentiles helps explain the rank: the CPU is capable of much more, but the GPU holds the pair back in Ready Or Not’s measured settings.

Compared with other tested combos, this pairing’s rank is determined by the full system, not just the CPU. The CPU’s nearest rivals in aggregate benchmark scoring are close, but the game-specific rank is far below what the CPU’s percentile would suggest. The measured FPS data shows the GPU becoming the dominant factor at 1440p and 4K, which is consistent with a combo that ranks 1642 out of 1748.
