Lockdown Protocol

The AMD Ryzen 5 3600 and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Ti combination delivers playable frame rates across most of Lockdown Protocol's settings. The recorded data places this pairing at rank 1360 out of 3714 tested combos, with the CPU at the 71st percentile and the GPU at the 75th percentile. At 1080p and 1440p, every preset clears the 60 FPS threshold, while 4K requires High or lower settings.

How This Combo Ranks

The combo ranks 1360th out of 3714 tested CPU and GPU pairings in Lockdown Protocol. That places it in the upper portion of the database, though not near the top. The CPU, a Ryzen 5 3600, sits at the 71st percentile among all CPUs, with an average benchmark score of 17035. Its nearest rivals in the database are tightly clustered: the Intel Core i7-1260P scores 17007 (0.2% lower), the Intel Core i5-11400 scores 17067 (0.2% higher), the AMD EPYC 7573X scores 17070 (0.2% higher), and the AMD EPYC 7742 scores 16998 (0.2% lower). This means the Ryzen 5 3600 is effectively within a rounding error of several very different processor types, from mobile chips to server parts.

The GPU, an RTX 3070 Ti, sits at the 75th percentile among all GPUs, with an average benchmark score of 29945. Its nearest rivals are similarly close: the RTX 5070 Mobile scores 29928 (0.1% lower), the RX 6800 scores 30095 (0.5% higher), the RTX 2080 Ti scores 29783 (0.5% lower), and the RX 6700 scores 30433 (1.6% higher). The GPU is slightly stronger relative to its competition than the CPU is, but both components land in the same general performance band. In Lockdown Protocol specifically, the combo's rank reflects a balanced pairing: neither component drags the other down enough to miss the 60 FPS target at common resolutions.

CPU and GPU Roles

The measured FPS data shows how the workload shifts across resolutions and presets. At 1920x1080, the average frame rate ranges from 203.4 FPS on Low to 103 FPS on Ultra. At 2560x1440, the range is 163.9 FPS on Low to 76.9 FPS on Ultra. At 3840x2160, the range is 107.2 FPS on Low to 47.4 FPS on Ultra. The pattern is clear: raising resolution and settings reduces frame rates substantially, which indicates that the GPU is the primary driver of performance in this game. The CPU's role is less visible because the frame rates stay high even at the lowest settings, meaning the Ryzen 5 3600 is not holding back the GPU at 1080p or 1440p.

The scaling from Low to Ultra at each resolution also points to GPU dominance. At 1080p, the difference between Low and Ultra is roughly 100 FPS (203.4 to 103). At 1440p, the difference is roughly 87 FPS (163.9 to 76.9). At 4K, the difference is roughly 60 FPS (107.2 to 47.4). These are large gaps, and they grow as resolution increases, which is typical of a graphics-heavy title. The CPU's single-thread and multi-thread scores, such as 2124 in Cinebench R23 single-core and 15045 in multi-core, are more than adequate for a fast-paced FPS. The database shows no evidence of a CPU bottleneck in the recorded frame rates, because even the most demanding preset at 1080p stays above 100 FPS.

That said, the CPU still matters for the minimum frame rate stability. The recorded data does not include min or max FPS values, so we cannot comment on frame pacing or 1% lows. The average FPS figures alone suggest that the GPU is the limiting factor when settings are turned up, and the CPU is likely to be sufficient for the game's logic and AI at all tested resolutions.

Best Settings per Resolution

The most demanding preset that stays at or above 60 FPS at each resolution, based on the recorded averages:

• 3840x2160 (4K): High settings, average 66.7 FPS. Low and Medium also clear 60 FPS, but High is the highest preset that does so. Ultra drops to 47.4 FPS, which is below the threshold.
• 2560x1440 (1440p): Ultra settings, average 76.9 FPS. All four presets (Low, Medium, High, Ultra) stay above 60 FPS, so you can use the highest quality without sacrificing playability.
• 1920x1080 (1080p): Ultra settings, average 103 FPS. Every preset clears 60 FPS, and Ultra still leaves plenty of headroom for high refresh rate monitors.

FAQ

Q: Can this combo run Lockdown Protocol at 4K with maximum settings?

A: No. At 3840x2160 on Ultra, the average FPS is 47.4, which falls below the 60 FPS playable threshold. The highest preset that maintains 60 FPS is High, with an average of 66.7 FPS.

Q: What is the best preset for 1440p gaming?

A: Ultra settings at 2560x1440 deliver an average of 76.9 FPS. Since all presets at this resolution exceed 60 FPS, you can run the game at its highest quality without any concern.

Q: How does the RTX 3070 Ti compare to its nearest GPU rivals?

A: The RTX 3070 Ti scores 29945 in the database's average GPU benchmark. It is 0.1% faster than the RTX 5070 Mobile, 0.5% slower than the RX 6800, 0.5% faster than the RTX 2080 Ti, and 1.6% slower than the RX 6700. The differences are small, so performance in Lockdown Protocol will be similar across these cards.

Q: Is the Ryzen 5 3600 strong enough for this game?

A: Yes. The CPU's average benchmark score of 17035 places it at the 71st percentile. Its nearest rival, the Intel Core i5-11400, is only 0.2% faster. In the game, the CPU does not appear to limit frame rates, as even the lowest settings at 1080p produce 203.4 FPS on average.

Q: Does the combo support high refresh rate monitors at 1080p?

A: Yes. At 1080p, the average FPS on Low is 203.4, on Medium 162.3, on High 137.5, and on Ultra 103. All of these are above 100 FPS, so the combo can drive 144 Hz and even 165 Hz displays at most settings.

Q: What happens if I lower the resolution from 4K to 1440p?

A: You gain a significant performance boost. At 4K High, the average is 66.7 FPS. At 1440p Ultra, it rises to 76.9 FPS. At 1440p Low, it reaches 163.9 FPS. The GPU is clearly the main factor, as the CPU load does not change with resolution.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The following table lists the exact average frame rates recorded for each resolution and preset combination. Min and max FPS values were not captured in the database.

| Resolution | Settings | Average FPS |

|------------|----------|-------------|

| 3840x2160 | High | 66.7 |

| 3840x2160 | Low | 107.2 |

| 3840x2160 | Medium | 76.5 |

| 3840x2160 | Ultra | 47.4 |

| 2560x1440 | High | 103.1 |

| 2560x1440 | Low | 163.9 |

| 2560x1440 | Medium | 119.5 |

| 2560x1440 | Ultra | 76.9 |

| 1920x1080 | High | 137.5 |

| 1920x1080 | Low | 203.4 |

| 1920x1080 | Medium | 162.3 |

| 1920x1080 | Ultra | 103.0 |

The data shows a clear hierarchy: 1080p is always above 100 FPS, 1440p stays above 76 FPS on every preset, and 4K only dips below 60 FPS at Ultra. The gap between Low and Ultra widens as resolution increases, confirming that the GPU is the bottleneck at higher settings.

The Verdict

This PC can run Lockdown Protocol. The verdict by resolution is straightforward:

• 3840x2160: Playable on Low (107.2 FPS), Medium (76.5 FPS), and High (66.7 FPS). Ultra is not playable because it averages 47.4 FPS. The best playable setting is High, with an average of 66.7 FPS.
• 2560x1440: Playable on all four presets. Ultra averages 76.9 FPS, which is the best setting you can choose. Even at Ultra, the frame rate stays well above the 60 FPS threshold.
• 1920x1080: Playable on all presets, with Ultra averaging 103 FPS. This is the ideal resolution for this combo if you want maximum quality and high frame rates.

The Ryzen 5 3600 and RTX 3070 Ti pairing is a capable match for Lockdown Protocol. At 1080p and 1440p, you can max out the game and still have headroom for competitive play. At 4K, you need to dial back to High or lower to stay smooth. The database's rank of 1360 out of 3714 combos reflects a solid, balanced setup that handles this FPS without major compromises.
