GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 is built on the Blackwell 2.0 architecture with a 5 nm process from TSMC. The data shows this GPU is a dominant force in Ready Or Not. Its 32 GB of GDDR7 VRAM, transmitted across a 512-bit bus at 1.79 TB/s, provides an immense memory pool that prevents any VRAM capacity limits from becoming a bottleneck, even at the highest settings and resolutions. The GPU's 104.8 TFLOPS of FP32 compute power, combined with 21,760 shading units, drives the raw rendering throughput.

The memory clock is rated at 1,750 MHz, with an effective speed of 28 Gbps. The base clock is 2,017 MHz, boosting up to 2,407 MHz under load. This substantial memory bandwidth is critical for a tactical shooter like Ready Or Not, which features detailed environments and multiple AI-driven entities. The benchmark results show how these specifications translate into practice: at 4K with Ultra settings, the combo still produces an average of 101 FPS, indicating that the GPU has enough headroom to handle the most demanding visual presets. The GPU's percentile rank of 94th among all tested GPUs confirms its elite status, though its nearest rivals include the RTX 5090 D (0.1% higher), which shows the performance ceiling is remarkably tight at this tier.

How This Combo Ranks

The data places this specific pairing of the Core i7-14700K and RTX 5090 at rank 11 out of 1,748 tested combos for Ready Or Not. This top-1% placement indicates that the combination is near the absolute peak of what is achievable in this game. The rank is a composite measure, reflecting both the CPU's strong multi-threaded performance and the GPU's massive rendering power.

To contextualize the CPU side, the Core i7-14700K scores 44,534 in Cinebench R23 multi-core and 6,287 in single-core. Its average benchmark score is 70,074, which places it in the 96th percentile of all CPUs. Its nearest rival, the i7-14700KF, scores nearly identically at 70,104 (a 0% delta), while the Ryzen 9 9950X is 0.5% behind. This suggests that the CPU is not a limiting factor in this ranking; the GPU is doing the heavy lifting. The GPU's average benchmark score is 84,306, and its nearest rival, the RTX 5090 D, is only 0.1% higher, while the RTX 5050 Mobile is 0.2% higher. The sheer number of tested combos (1,748) makes the 11th place finish a significant outlier in the top percentile, meaning that only a handful of other configurations can beat this one in Ready Or Not.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The measured FPS data provides a detailed picture of performance across three resolutions and four settings levels. At 1920x1080, the combo achieves 540.5 FPS on Low, 470.1 FPS on Medium, 425.5 FPS on High, and 301.7 FPS on Ultra. These numbers are extraordinarily high, often exceeding the refresh rates of most high-end monitors. The jump from Ultra to Low at this resolution represents a 79% increase in average FPS, from 301.7 to 540.5.

Moving to 2560x1440, the performance remains stellar. Low settings yield 337.4 FPS, Medium produces 293.6 FPS, High reaches 268.8 FPS, and Ultra drops to 190.9 FPS. The scaling from 1080p to 1440p shows a consistent drop, but the minimum average FPS at 1440p Ultra (190.9) is still well above the 144 Hz mark. At 3840x2160, the results are more moderate but still impressive. Low settings deliver 177.9 FPS, Medium drops to 152.7 FPS, High comes in at 142.3 FPS, and Ultra settles at 101 FPS. The delta between Low and Ultra at 4K is 76.9 FPS, which highlights the significant impact of the Ultra preset's additional effects.

Resolution Scaling

The data reveals how the FPS scales as resolution increases from 1080p to 4K. Looking at High settings, the average FPS drops from 425.5 at 1080p to 268.8 at 1440p, then to 142.3 at 4K. This represents a 67% reduction from 1080p to 4K. For Low settings, the drop is from 540.5 to 337.4 to 177.9, a 67% reduction as well. The consistency of this scaling suggests that the GPU is the primary bottleneck at higher resolutions.

At 1080p, the FPS numbers are so high (e.g., 540.5 on Low) that the CPU's single-thread performance—scoring 6,287 in Cinebench R23 single-core—becomes more relevant. The data shows that at 1080p, the GPU is being fed enough data to reach these extreme frame rates, but the CPU is likely preventing even higher numbers. As resolution climbs to 4K, the GPU's fill rate and compute throughput take over as the limiting factors. The 4K Ultra result of 101 FPS is a clear indicator that the GPU is working near its limit, while the CPU has more headroom. The scaling pattern is classic for a high-end combo: CPU-bound at 1080p, transitioning to GPU-bound at 4K.

CPU Role

The Intel Core i7-14700K features 20 cores and 28 threads, based on the Raptor Lake architecture on a 10 nm process. Its base clock is 3.40 GHz, boosting to 5.60 GHz. The 33 MB of shared L3 cache and 2 MB per-core L2 cache provide substantial on-die storage for game assets. The CPU's multi-threaded capabilities are demonstrated by its Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 44,534 and PassMark multi-thread score of 52,392.

In Ready Or Not, the CPU's role is critical for AI calculations, physics, and game logic. The 20 cores handle these tasks efficiently, but the benchmark results suggest that even this powerful CPU can become a bottleneck at 1080p. The fact that the 1080p Low setting hits 540.5 FPS—a number that approaches the practical limit of CPU-bound frame pacing—indicates that the i7-14700K's single-thread performance (6,287 in Cinebench R23 single-core) is the ceiling at lower resolutions. The CPU's 96th percentile ranking among all CPUs, with an average benchmark score of 70,074, places it just behind the i7-14700KF (0% delta) and ahead of the Ryzen 9 9950X by 0.5%. This tight grouping shows that the i7-14700K is at the top of the heap, and the 11th place combo rank is a reflection of both components working in harmony, with the CPU providing enough throughput to avoid limiting the GPU's output at higher resolutions.
