GPU Role

The RTX 4060 is built on the Ada Lovelace architecture with a 5 nm process. It has a base clock of 1830 MHz and a boost clock of 2460 MHz. The memory runs at 2125 MHz (17 Gbps effective) across a 128-bit bus, yielding 272.0 GB/s of bandwidth. The 8 GB GDDR6 frame buffer is a key spec for high-resolution gaming. In Ready Or Not, the measured FPS scales predictably with resolution and settings: at 1920x1080 Low, the average is 263.5 FPS, while at 3840x2160 Ultra it drops to 51.7 FPS. The GPU's benchmark scores include a 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 2302, a Geekbench OpenCL score of 101030, and a Passmark G3D score of 19545. Its average benchmark score is 23181, placing it in the 66th percentile of all GPUs. Compared to its nearest rivals, it is 0.6% behind the AMD Radeon RX 6600M, 0.7% behind the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 780 Ti, 0.7% ahead of the Intel Arc B580, and 0.8% ahead of the AMD Radeon 760M. The GPU's launch MSRP is 299 USD. The data shows that the RTX 4060 can handle 1080p and 1440p with high frame rates, but at 4K Ultra the average FPS falls to 51.7, the lowest of all tested settings. The 8 GB VRAM and 272.0 GB/s bandwidth are sufficient for 1080p and 1440p, but the 4K Ultra result indicates a significant performance ceiling at the highest preset.

CPU Role

The Intel Core Ultra 7 265K is a 20-core, 20-thread processor based on Arrow Lake architecture, built on a 3 nm process. It has a base clock of 3.90 GHz and a boost clock of 5.50 GHz. The L3 cache is 30 MB shared. Its benchmark scores include a Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 50009 and single-core score of 7060, as well as a Passmark multi-thread score of 58838 and single-thread score of 4904. The CPU's average benchmark score is 79102, placing it in the 97th percentile of all CPUs. Compared to its nearest rivals, it is 0.2% behind the Core Ultra 7 265KF and Core i9-14900KF, 0.9% behind the Core i9-14900K, and 1.2% behind the AMD EPYC 7413. The CPU's launch MSRP is $394. In Ready Or Not, the high single-thread performance (Cinebench R23 single 7060, Passmark single 4904) likely contributes to the high frame rates seen at 1080p, where the average FPS reaches 263.5 at Low settings. The CPU's strong multi-core performance (Cinebench R23 multi 50009) also helps maintain consistent frame rates across settings, as seen in the measured data. The 20 threads and 30 MB L3 cache provide ample headroom for the game's tactical shooter workload, which often involves many AI agents and physics calculations.

How This Combo Ranks

The combo ranks 1015th out of 1748 tested configurations in Ready Or Not. This means 1014 combos perform better, and 733 perform worse. The CPU is in the 97th percentile of all CPUs, while the GPU is in the 66th percentile. The combo's overall rank is therefore lower than the CPU's percentile would suggest, reflecting the GPU's more modest standing. The measured FPS data shows that the combo is capable of high frame rates at 1080p and 1440p, but at 4K Ultra the average FPS drops to 51.7, which is the lowest of all tested settings. This rank places the combo in the lower half of the database, indicating that while the CPU is top-tier, the GPU limits the overall performance in this game. The gap between the CPU's 97th percentile and the GPU's 66th percentile is a clear indicator that the RTX 4060 is the bottleneck in this pairing, especially at higher resolutions and presets.

Settings Recommendations

Based on the measured FPS, the optimal preset depends on the target resolution. At 1920x1080, all four presets deliver average FPS above 149, with Low at 263.5, Medium at 229.9, High at 210.5, and Ultra at 149.2. This means the Ultra preset is viable for high-refresh displays at 1080p. At 2560x1440, the average FPS ranges from 92 at Ultra to 169.6 at Low. The High preset provides 131.7 FPS, which is a good balance between visual quality and performance. At 3840x2160, the average FPS drops significantly: Low gives 90.4, Medium 76.4, High 68.6, and Ultra 51.7. For 4K, the Low or Medium presets are recommended to maintain higher frame rates, as the Ultra preset drops to 51.7 FPS. The data shows that the combo is best suited for 1080p and 1440p gaming, with 4K requiring lower settings for smooth performance. The 1440p High preset at 131.7 FPS is a strong choice for most users, while 1080p Ultra at 149.2 FPS offers the highest visual fidelity without sacrificing frame rate.

| 2560x1440 | Medium | 144.3 |

| 2560x1440 | Ultra | 92 |

| 1920x1080 | High | 210.5 |

| 1920x1080 | Low | 263.5 |

| 1920x1080 | Medium | 229.9 |

| 1920x1080 | Ultra | 149.2 |

The highest average FPS is 263.5 at 1920x1080 Low, and the lowest is 51.7 at 3840x2160 Ultra. The scaling from Low to Ultra at each resolution shows a consistent pattern: at 1080p, the drop from Low to Ultra is 114.3 FPS (263.5 to 149.2); at 1440p, the drop is 77.6 FPS (169.6 to 92); at 4K, the drop is 38.7 FPS (90.4 to 51.7). These numbers illustrate that the GPU's performance headroom narrows as resolution increases, with the 4K Ultra preset being the only configuration that falls below 60 FPS.
