GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 D is the primary driver of the exceptional performance seen in Ready Or Not. Its core specifications include a base clock of 2017 MHz and a boost clock of 2407 MHz. The GPU is built on the Blackwell 2.0 architecture using a 5 nm process at TSMC, with a massive 92,200 million transistors on a 750 mm² die. The memory subsystem is particularly notable: 32 GB of GDDR7 memory on a 512-bit bus provides a bandwidth of 1.79 TB/s. This high bandwidth is critical for feeding the GPU's 21,760 shading units and 176 ROPs at high resolutions.

The GPU's role becomes clear when examining the frame rate data. At 1920x1080 with Low settings, the combo achieves a 567 FPS average. This extremely high frame rate indicates the GPU is not heavily constrained by the CPU at this resolution. The RTX 5090 D's raw compute power, rated at 104.8 TFLOPS for FP32 operations, allows it to render frames at an extraordinary rate, especially at lower resolutions where the pixel count is lower.

The 32 GB VRAM capacity and 1.79 TB/s bandwidth ensure that texture loading and memory-intensive operations are not bottlenecks. The measured frame rates remain high even at 4K, with a 187 FPS average on Low settings and 148 FPS on High. This indicates that the GPU's memory subsystem is well-equipped to handle the demands of Ready Or Not at 3840x2160. The GPU's 92nd percentile ranking among all GPUs, with an average benchmark score of 77,712, corroborates its high-end positioning.

The RTX 5090 D's 170 RT cores and 680 tensor cores also contribute to its overall capability, though the specific impact on Ready Or Not is not directly separated in the measured FPS data. The GPU's specifications, including a pixel rate of 423.6 GPixel/s and a texture rate of 1,636.8 GTexel/s, demonstrate its ability to handle complex scenes with high geometric detail at high resolutions.

The data shows that the combination's first-place rank is not simply a sum of its parts. The measured FPS figures are exceptionally high across all tests. For instance, at 1080p Medium, the combo achieves a 494 FPS average, and at 1440p High, it reaches 284 FPS. These numbers, when compared with the broader database of 2,947 combos, are sufficient to claim the top spot. The performance gap between this combo and others is implied by the rank, as the measured FPS at even 4K Ultra (104 FPS average) is a figure many systems cannot reach at lower resolutions.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The measured FPS data provides a comprehensive view of the combo's performance across three resolutions and four settings presets. At 1920x1080, the results are extraordinary. The Low preset yields a 567 FPS average, which is the highest measured in the entire dataset. The Medium preset produces a 494 FPS average, with a minimum of 420 FPS and a maximum of 568 FPS. The High preset achieves a 449 FPS average, and the Ultra preset delivers a 316 FPS average. These figures indicate that at 1080p, the system is capable of frame rates that far exceed the refresh rates of even the most advanced gaming monitors.

Moving to 2560x1440, the performance remains exceptionally high. The Low preset averages 358 FPS. The Medium preset averages 312 FPS, with a minimum of 265 FPS and a maximum of 359 FPS. The High preset delivers a 284 FPS average, and the Ultra preset yields a 199 FPS average. These numbers show that even at 1440p, the combo can comfortably drive high-refresh-rate displays, with the High preset still exceeding 280 FPS on average.

At 3840x2160, the performance is still impressive, though the frame rates naturally decrease due to the increased pixel count. The Low preset averages 187 FPS. The Medium preset averages 163 FPS, with a minimum of 139 FPS and a maximum of 187 FPS. The High preset achieves a 148 FPS average, and the Ultra preset delivers a 104 FPS average. These 4K results are notably high, with the Low preset still exceeding 180 FPS and the Ultra preset maintaining a triple-digit average.

The data also includes specific minimum and maximum FPS values for the Medium preset at each resolution. At 1080p, the minimum is 420 FPS and the maximum is 568 FPS. At 1440p, the minimum is 265 FPS and the maximum is 359 FPS. At 4K, the minimum is 139 FPS and the maximum is 187 FPS. These ranges suggest consistent performance with no major frame-time spikes, as the minimums are all well above playable thresholds.

Resolution Scaling

The frame rate scaling from 1920x1080 to 3840x2160 provides insight into the system's bottleneck characteristics. At Low settings, the average FPS drops from 567 at 1080p to 358 at 1440p, a 36.9% decrease. Moving from 1440p to 4K, the average drops from 358 to 187, a 47.8% decrease. The total drop from 1080p Low to 4K Low is 67.0%, which is substantial and indicates that the GPU is becoming more heavily loaded as the resolution increases.

At High settings, the scaling is similar. The average FPS is 449 at 1080p, 284 at 1440p, and 148 at 4K. The drop from 1080p to 1440p is 36.7%, and from 1440p to 4K is 47.9%. The total decrease is 67.0%. This consistent scaling pattern across settings suggests that the limiting component is the GPU's rendering throughput, not the CPU.

The behavior at Ultra settings is also telling. The average FPS is 316 at 1080p, 199 at 1440p, and 104 at 4K. The drop from 1080p to 1440p is 37.0%, and from 1440p to 4K is 47.7%. The total decrease is 67.1%. The fact that the percentage drops are nearly identical across all settings presets strongly indicates that the CPU is not a bottleneck at any resolution. If the CPU were the limiting factor, we would expect to see a smaller performance drop between 1080p and 1440p, as the CPU load would remain similar while the GPU load increases.

The data shows that the Intel Core i7-12700K, with its 12 cores and 20 threads, has sufficient single-thread and multi-thread performance to keep up with the RTX 5090 D. The CPU's Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 19,784 and single-core score of 1,850.5 support this conclusion. The frame rate drops are almost entirely attributable to the GPU's workload increasing with resolution, which is the expected behavior for a well-balanced high-end system.

Settings Recommendations

Based on the measured FPS data, the optimal settings preset depends on the user's display refresh rate and resolution preference. At 1920x1080, the Ultra preset delivers a 316 FPS average, which is still exceptionally high. Given that this is the highest quality preset and still produces over 300 FPS on average, it is the recommended choice for 1080p users with high-refresh-rate monitors, as it provides the best visual quality without sacrificing performance.

At 2560x1440, the Ultra preset averages 199 FPS. This is still a very high frame rate, but the High preset at 284 FPS offers a 42.7% performance increase. For users with 144Hz or 240Hz monitors, the High preset is the recommended option, as it comfortably exceeds these refresh rates while providing good visual fidelity. The Medium preset at 312 FPS is also viable for those seeking even higher frame rates, but the visual quality difference between Medium and High is often worth the 28 FPS average cost.

At 3840x2160, the recommendation is more nuanced. The High preset delivers a 148 FPS average, which is excellent for 4K gaming and suitable for 120Hz or 144Hz displays. The Ultra preset averages 104 FPS, which is still playable and would be a good choice for users with 60Hz or 120Hz displays who prioritize visual quality. The Medium preset at 163 FPS is also a strong option, offering a balance between quality and performance. For 4K users, the High preset is generally the best recommendation, as it provides a high level of visual detail while maintaining a frame rate that is well above the 60 FPS baseline.

The Low preset is not recommended for any resolution, as the performance gains over Medium are relatively small (e.g., 567 vs. 494 FPS at 1080p, a 14.8% increase) while the visual quality reduction is significant. The measured data shows that the Medium preset at all three resolutions provides a solid foundation, with the High or Ultra presets being the better choices for users who want the best visual experience without compromising on frame rate. The combo's top ranking in the database confirms that it has ample headroom to run Ready Or Not at high settings and high resolutions simultaneously.
