Ready Or Not

Resolution Scaling

The measured FPS data for Ready Or Not shows a clear and predictable scaling pattern as resolution increases, but the magnitude of the drop tells a specific story about where the bottleneck lies. At 1080p with Ultra settings, the combo delivers 275.4 FPS. Moving to 1440p Ultra drops that to 176.9 FPS, a reduction of roughly 36%. The jump to 4K Ultra brings the average down to 92.3 FPS, which is about 48% lower than the 1440p result and 66% lower than the 1080p figure.

This scaling pattern is steep, but it is not extreme enough to suggest a purely GPU-bound scenario at every setting level. The Low preset tells a more revealing story. At 1080p Low, the system produces 497.4 FPS. At 1440p Low, it still manages 314.5 FPS, and at 4K Low it holds 162.9 FPS. The 4K Low figure is still well above 60 FPS, indicating that even at the highest resolution, the GPU has substantial headroom. The fact that 4K Low (162.9 FPS) is significantly higher than 4K Ultra (92.3 FPS) shows that the settings preset, not the resolution alone, is the dominant factor in the final frame rate.

The data indicates that at 1080p, the CPU is likely the limiting component. The gap between 1080p Low (497.4 FPS) and 1080p Ultra (275.4 FPS) is substantial, but the sheer height of the Low result suggests the GPU is not being fully utilized at that resolution. When resolution increases to 4K, the workload shifts more heavily onto the GPU, and the frame rate becomes more sensitive to the graphics preset. The 4K spread from Low to Ultra is 70.6 FPS, which is a narrower range than the 222 FPS spread seen at 1080p. This compression of the FPS range at higher resolutions is a classic sign of the GPU becoming the primary constraint.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5080 is the dominant component in this pairing, and its specifications align closely with the measured results. The GPU features 16 GB of GDDR7 memory on a 256-bit bus, providing a memory bandwidth of 960.0 GB/s. The base clock is 2295 MHz with a boost clock of 2617 MHz, and the card is built on the Blackwell 2.0 architecture using a 5 nm process. The RTX 5080 has 10752 shading units, 336 TMUs, and 112 ROPs, with 84 RT cores and 336 tensor cores.

The 16 GB VRAM capacity is more than sufficient for Ready Or Not at 4K Ultra, as the game does not appear to be memory-limited in these measurements. The memory bandwidth of 960.0 GB/s is high enough to feed the GPU's processing units without creating a bottleneck, even at 4K resolution where texture and geometry data demands are highest. The boost clock of 2617 MHz provides the raw throughput needed to sustain high frame rates across all tested presets.

The GPU's performance percentile of 89 places it in the upper tier of all GPUs in the benchmark database. Its average benchmark score of 59188 is notable, and its nearest rivals include the Intel Arc A570M (58239, 1.6% slower) and the Intel Arc Pro A60 (60326, 1.9% faster). The RTX 5080 sits between these two in raw compute, but in Ready Or Not specifically, the measured data shows it handling the game's tactical shooter workload with ease, delivering playable frame rates even at the most demanding 4K Ultra setting.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The measured data provides a complete picture across three resolutions and four settings presets. At 1920x1080, the results are as follows: Low settings yield 497.4 FPS, Medium yields 435 FPS, High yields 391.9 FPS, and Ultra yields 275.4 FPS. The progression from Low to Ultra shows a steady decline, with the largest single drop occurring between High and Ultra at 116.5 FPS.

At 2560x1440, the frame rates are lower but still exceptionally high. Low settings produce 314.5 FPS, Medium produces 271.8 FPS, High produces 247.2 FPS, and Ultra produces 176.9 FPS. The relative ordering remains consistent with the 1080p results, and the gap between Low and Ultra at 1440p is 137.6 FPS, which is narrower than the 222 FPS gap at 1080p.

At 3840x2160, the system still delivers strong performance. Low settings yield 162.9 FPS, Medium yields 140.9 FPS, High yields 130.6 FPS, and Ultra yields 92.3 FPS. The spread from Low to Ultra at 4K is 70.6 FPS, which is the smallest of the three resolutions. This tightening of the FPS range as resolution increases is a clear indicator that the GPU becomes progressively more dominant in determining performance.

The data also shows that the step from Medium to High has a smaller impact at higher resolutions. At 1080p, the drop from Medium to High is 43.1 FPS, while at 4K it is only 10.3 FPS. This suggests that the High preset adds graphical features that are less costly at higher resolutions, or that the GPU is already near its limit at 4K Medium and the additional load from High settings has a reduced absolute effect.

CPU Role

The Intel Core i7-12700K is a 12-core, 20-thread processor based on the Alder Lake architecture, built on a 10 nm process. It has a base clock of 3.60 GHz and a boost clock of 5.00 GHz. The CPU features 80 KB of L1 cache per core, 1.25 MB of L2 cache per core, and 25 MB of shared L3 cache. It supports both DDR4 and DDR5 memory in a dual-channel configuration and has 20 PCIe Gen 4 lanes.

In the context of Ready Or Not, the CPU's role is most evident at lower resolutions. The 1080p Low result of 497.4 FPS is a strong indicator that the CPU can feed the GPU with enough data to sustain extremely high frame rates. The Cinebench R23 multicore score of 29241 and single-core score of 4128 demonstrate strong multi-threaded and single-threaded performance. The 3DMark single-thread score of 1043 and 16-thread score of 9276 further confirm the CPU's capability.

The CPU's percentile rank of 89 places it above the vast majority of all CPUs in the database. Its nearest rivals include the AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 5845 (0.3% slower), the Intel Core i7-13700T (0.6% faster), and the Intel Core i5-14500HX (0.7% slower). The differences between these CPUs are minimal, indicating that the i7-12700K is well-positioned in its performance tier.

The data suggests that at 1080p, especially with Low settings, the CPU is the limiting factor. The fact that 1080p Low produces 497.4 FPS while 4K Low produces 162.9 FPS shows that the GPU has more than enough headroom to handle the game's graphics workload, but the CPU's frame generation capacity caps the absolute maximum FPS. At 4K, the CPU is no longer the bottleneck, and the GPU's rendering speed becomes the primary constraint.

Settings Recommendations

Based on the measured data, the optimal settings preset depends on the target resolution and desired frame rate. For 4K Ultra, the combo delivers 92.3 FPS, which is above the standard 60 FPS threshold and suitable for smooth gameplay. However, dropping to 4K High increases the average to 130.6 FPS, a 41.5% improvement over Ultra, with presumably minimal visual difference in a tactical shooter where clarity is important.

At 1440p, the High preset at 247.2 FPS is an excellent choice, as it provides a substantial frame rate cushion for high-refresh-rate monitors. The Medium preset at 271.8 FPS offers even more headroom, and the difference between Medium and High at 1440p is only 24.6 FPS, suggesting that High is the better balance. The 1440p Ultra result of 176.9 FPS is still very playable, but the jump from High to Ultra costs 70.3 FPS, which may not be worth the visual upgrade in a game where reaction time matters.

For 1080p, the High preset at 391.9 FPS is more than sufficient for any display, and the Ultra preset at 275.4 FPS is also viable. The Low preset at 497.4 FPS is excessive for most use cases, as it would only benefit competitive players with 480 Hz monitors. The Medium preset at 435 FPS sits between these extremes.

The data indicates that the High preset offers the best overall balance across all three resolutions. At 4K High (130.6 FPS), 1440p High (247.2 FPS), and 1080p High (391.9 FPS), the frame rates are consistently high enough to provide a smooth experience, and the visual quality is likely superior to Medium or Low. For players who prioritize maximum visual fidelity, Ultra is viable at all resolutions, but the frame rate cost is significant, particularly at 1080p where the drop from High to Ultra is 116.5 FPS.

How This Combo Ranks

The combination of the Intel Core i7-12700K and the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5080 ranks 91st out of 1748 tested combinations in Ready Or Not. This places the combo in the top 5.2% of all tested systems, which is an exceptional result. The rank reflects the strong synergy between the CPU and GPU, with the i7-12700K providing sufficient single-thread performance to avoid limiting the RTX 5080 at lower resolutions, while the GPU's raw power dominates at higher resolutions.

The measured data confirms that this combo is not just strong on paper but delivers in practice. The 4K Ultra result of 92.3 FPS is particularly impressive, as it shows the system can handle the most demanding settings at the highest resolution without dipping below 60 FPS. The 1080p Low result of 497.4 FPS indicates that the system is also capable of extreme frame rates for competitive play, should the user choose to prioritize performance over visual quality.

The rank of 91 out of 1748 is a strong endorsement of this pairing for Ready Or Not specifically. While the CPU and GPU each have their own benchmark percentiles of 89, the combined performance in this game exceeds what those individual scores might suggest, indicating that the two components complement each other well in this title. The combo's position in the top 6% of all tested systems makes it a high-performance option for players seeking both high resolution and high frame rates in this tactical shooter.
