Ready Or Not

Ready Or Not is a demanding tactical shooter, and the benchmark data for the Intel Core Ultra 7 155H paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 shows a clear hierarchy of playable settings. The data indicates that this combo is best suited for 1080p and 1440p gaming, with 4K proving too taxing for consistent high-refresh-rate play. The sweet spot for this configuration is the Medium preset at 2560x1440, which delivers a robust 127 FPS average while maintaining a minimum frame rate of 108 FPS, offering the best balance of visual fidelity and performance headroom for a tactical shooter where smoothness is critical.

Settings Recommendations

The measured rows provide a definitive guide for optimizing this specific hardware combination in Ready Or Not. The Ultra preset is not viable for competitive or smooth play at any resolution tested. At 1920x1080, it produces an average of 128 FPS, but this drops to 81 FPS at 2560x1440 and a stuttering 42 FPS at 3840x2160. The performance cost of the Ultra preset is too high relative to the visual gains, especially when the High preset offers significantly better frame rates.

The High preset presents a strong case for 1080p and 1440p users. At 1920x1080, it achieves an excellent 182 FPS average, and at 2560x1440, it still maintains a very playable 115 FPS average. This preset is ideal for gamers with high-refresh-rate monitors at 1080p or those who prefer higher visual fidelity at 1440p without sacrificing the fluidity needed for a game like Ready Or Not.

However, the Medium preset emerges as the optimal choice for the most consistent experience. It provides a substantial performance uplift over High across all resolutions. At 1080p, it jumps to 201 FPS, and at 1440p, it reaches 127 FPS. Critically, the Medium preset is the only one with recorded minimum FPS data, showing a floor of 171 FPS at 1080p and 108 FPS at 1440p. This data suggests that Medium offers the most stable frame pacing, avoiding the severe dips that can occur in firefights on higher settings. For 4K, Low is the only playable option, yielding a 76 FPS average, which is playable but requires significant visual compromises.

For the best experience, the data strongly recommends the Medium preset at 2560x1440. It provides a high average frame rate that exceeds the 100 FPS threshold and, based on the min FPS data, maintains a floor above 100 FPS, ensuring intense close-quarters combat remains fluid. If a player prioritizes visual quality at 1080p, High is a justified choice, but the marginal visual difference between High and Medium is outweighed by the 19 FPS average gain and the reported stability of the Medium preset.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 plays the central role in this combo's gaming performance. The GPU features 8 GB of GDDR7 memory on a 128-bit bus, providing a bandwidth of 448.0 GB/s. This memory configuration is a critical factor in Ready Or Not's performance scaling. The substantial frame rate drops as resolution increases—from 230 FPS at 1080p Low to just 76 FPS at 4K Low—indicate that the GPU is the primary bottleneck, particularly at higher resolutions where memory capacity and bandwidth are stressed.

The GPU's core clocks are listed with a base of 2280 MHz and a boost of 2497 MHz. While these numbers define the processing throughput, the benchmark results show that the RTX 5060 is capable of high frame rates at 1080p and 1440p. The 8 GB VRAM capacity is adequate for 1080p and 1440p with Medium to High settings, but the significant drop to 42 FPS at 4K Ultra suggests that the game's texture and geometry demands at that resolution exceed what the 8 GB buffer can efficiently handle, forcing the system to rely on slower memory paging.

Interestingly, the GPU's benchmark position is competitive with other cards in its class. Its average benchmark score of 26331 places it in the 72nd percentile of all GPUs. Its nearest rival, the AMD Radeon 860M, scores a comparable 26401, a delta of -0.3%. This data suggests that the RTX 5060's raw compute capability is well-matched to its peers, and the performance differences seen in games like Ready Or Not will be more dependent on driver optimization and specific game engine requirements than on sheer compute power. The GPU's 19.18 TFLOPS of FP32 performance is the engine driving these results, but the real-world data shows that memory bandwidth and capacity are the limiting factors as resolution scales.

How This Combo Ranks

Within the database of tested configurations for Ready Or Not, this specific pairing of the Intel Core Ultra 7 155H and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 holds a rank of 1937 out of 2947 total combos. This places it in the lower-middle tier of systems tested for this game, indicating that while it is fully capable of delivering a playable and often smooth experience, many other hardware combinations will outperform it.

This ranking is consistent with the component data. The CPU, the Intel Core Ultra 7 155H, has an average benchmark score of 32697, placing it in the 83rd percentile of all CPUs. Its nearest rival, the Intel Core i5-14600T, scores a nearly identical 32707, with a 0% delta. The GPU, the RTX 5060, with an average score of 26331, sits in the 72nd percentile of all GPUs. While both components are above average individually, their combined performance in this specific game lands them in a more modest position.

The rank suggests that Ready Or Not is particularly demanding on the combination of CPU and GPU resources. The fact that the CPU is in the 83rd percentile but the combo is in the 66th percentile (1937/2947) implies that the game is heavily GPU-bound, and the RTX 5060, while competent, is not able to fully leverage the CPU's capabilities at higher settings. This analysis is supported by the measured FPS data, which shows the GPU becoming the clear bottleneck as resolution increases. The combo's rank serves as a warning that while this is a capable system, it is not a top-tier performer for this specific title.

Resolution Scaling

The data shows a clear and predictable trend in performance scaling across resolutions. Moving from 1920x1080 to 2560x1440 on the Medium preset, the average frame rate drops from 201 FPS to 127 FPS, a 37% decrease. Scaling further to 3840x2160, the average drops to 66 FPS, another 48% decrease from the 1440p figure. This pattern of diminishing returns is consistent across all settings presets.

This scaling behavior is a strong indicator of a GPU-limited scenario. The CPU, with a boost clock of 4.80 GHz and 22 threads, has sufficient headroom at lower resolutions to feed the GPU. However, as the pixel count increases, the GPU's rendering workload grows exponentially. This is evident in the frame time data for the Medium preset: at 1080p, the minimum FPS is 171, which is 85% of the average. At 1440p, the minimum FPS is 108, which is also 85% of the average. The consistency of this ratio suggests that the frame dips are proportional to the overall load, a classic sign of the GPU being the primary bottleneck.

The RTX 5060's 8 GB of VRAM likely contributes to the steep drop at 4K. The 30% drop in performance from 1080p to 1440p (201 to 127 FPS on Medium) is expected, but the 48% drop from 1440p to 4K (127 to 66 FPS) is more severe. This suggests that at 4K, the GPU is not only processing more pixels but is also potentially hitting memory capacity limits, causing the engine to handle data less efficiently. The data indicates that for this combo, 1080p is the resolution for maximizing frame rates, 1440p is the resolution for the best balance of quality and speed, and 4K is only viable with significant compromises to visual settings.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The measured FPS data provides a comprehensive view of the combo's performance across all tested settings. At 1920x1080, the combo is exceptionally strong. The Low preset produces the highest average at 230 FPS. The Medium preset follows with a 201 FPS average, with a recorded minimum of 171 FPS and a maximum of 231 FPS. The High preset achieves a 182 FPS average. The Ultra preset, while still playable, drops to a 128 FPS average, showing a significant performance penalty for maxed-out settings.

At 2560x1440, performance remains strong but shows the expected impact of increased resolution. The Low preset averages 145 FPS. The Medium preset is the standout, with a 127 FPS average, a 108 FPS minimum, and a 146 FPS maximum. This makes it the most balanced option at this resolution. The High preset maintains a solid 115 FPS average. The Ultra preset falls to an 81 FPS average, which is playable but begins to approach the threshold where smoothness in fast-paced scenarios could be compromised.

The 3840x2160 results confirm that 4K is the weak point for this configuration. The Low preset is the only one to achieve a comfortable frame rate, with a 76 FPS average. The Medium preset averages 66 FPS, with a 56 FPS minimum, indicating that it will dip into less smooth territory during intense action. The High preset sits at a bare 60 FPS average, offering no headroom for demanding scenes. The Ultra preset is not viable for play, with a 42 FPS average that would make the game feel sluggish. This breakdown clearly shows that the Intel Core Ultra 7 155H and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 combo is best utilized at 1080p and 1440p, where it provides high refresh-rate capable performance.
