Lockdown Protocol

The AMD Ryzen 5 5600F and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Ti combination delivers a strong 1080p and 1440p experience in Lockdown Protocol, while 4K remains viable at reduced settings. The data shows this pairing sits in the 55th percentile of all tested combos for this title, ranking 1355 out of 3714, which places it comfortably above the median for handling the game’s demands.

Similar Performance Alternatives

Looking at the CPU side, the Ryzen 5 5600F’s average benchmark score of 36945 places it in a tight cluster of near-identical performers. The Intel Core Ultra 5 225 matches almost exactly, scoring 36938 with a delta of 0 percent. The AMD Ryzen 5 5500X3D is a hair behind at 37018, a -0.2 percent difference, while the AMD Ryzen AI 7 PRO 450 scores 37093 (-0.4 percent) and the Intel Core i9-12900T posts 37112 (-0.5 percent). In practice, any of these chips would feed the RTX 3070 Ti with essentially identical frame pacing in Lockdown Protocol, since the differences are well within benchmark noise.

For the GPU, the RTX 3070 Ti’s average score of 29945 puts it directly alongside several other cards. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Mobile is the nearest match at 29928, a negligible 0.1 percent ahead. The AMD Radeon RX 6800 trails by 0.5 percent with a score of 30095, while the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2080 Ti sits 0.5 percent behind at 29783. The AMD Radeon RX 6700 is the outlier at 30433, showing a -1.6 percent delta. For gaming at the resolutions tested here, swapping between these GPUs would produce nearly identical FPS figures, with the RX 6700 being the only one that might show a small but perceptible drop in the most demanding scenes.

How This Combo Ranks

The combination of the Ryzen 5 5600F and RTX 3070 Ti achieves rank 1355 out of 3714 tested combos in Lockdown Protocol. That places it in the top 36.5 percent of all pairings, which is a solid position for an FPS title where high frame rates matter. The data indicates that this system outperforms roughly two-thirds of the tested hardware configurations, though it is not in the elite tier of setups that dominate the highest refresh rate monitors.

Breaking down the percentile positioning, the CPU itself lands in the 85th percentile against all CPUs, while the GPU sits in the 75th percentile against all GPUs. The combined ranking reflects that the GPU is the more limiting factor in this pairing, but both components are above average individually. For a competitive FPS like Lockdown Protocol, this rank suggests the system will handle most scenarios without stutter, but it will not be pushing the absolute highest frame rates at maximum settings.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the RTX 3070 Ti shows its strength. Low settings produce an average of 220 FPS, while Medium drops to 160 FPS with a minimum of 136 and a maximum of 184. High settings average 139 FPS, and Ultra still manages 105 FPS. This resolution is clearly where the combo excels, with every preset clearing the 60 FPS threshold by a wide margin.

Moving to 2560x1440, the frame rates remain strong but show more variation. Low settings average 165 FPS. Medium delivers 117 FPS, with a minimum of 99 and a maximum of 135. High settings hit 102 FPS, and Ultra drops to 77 FPS. The gap between Low and Ultra is 88 FPS, indicating that the GPU has headroom at this resolution but the most demanding preset starts to tax the system.

At 3840x2160, the picture changes significantly. Low settings still produce a playable 106 FPS average, and Medium manages 76 FPS with a minimum of 64 and maximum of 87. High settings average 66 FPS, but Ultra falls to 49 FPS, which is below the playable threshold. The step from High to Ultra at 4K represents a 17 FPS loss, showing that the RTX 3070 Ti’s 8 GB of GDDR6X memory and 608.3 GB/s bandwidth hit a wall with the most aggressive settings at this resolution.

The Verdict

The data clearly indicates that this PC can run Lockdown Protocol with playable performance across all tested resolutions, but the settings ceiling varies. At 1920x1080, all four presets — Low, Medium, High, and Ultra — clear 60 FPS, with the lowest Ultra average at 105 FPS. This system is more than capable of driving high refresh rate 1080p monitors.

At 2560x1440, the same holds true: every preset from Low to Ultra stays above 60 FPS, with Ultra averaging 77 FPS. This makes 1440p the sweet spot for the combo, offering a balance of visual fidelity and frame rate. At 3840x2160, the verdict is more nuanced. Low, Medium, and High all clear 60 FPS, with High averaging 66 FPS. Ultra drops to 49 FPS, which is not playable by the 60 FPS standard used here. The data shows that 4K is viable only up to High settings, and even that is a marginal pass.

CPU and GPU Roles

The scaling between resolutions and presets reveals that the GPU is the dominant factor in Lockdown Protocol for this pairing. At 1920x1080, the difference between Low and Ultra is 115 FPS (220 down to 105), which is a massive swing driven almost entirely by GPU load. The CPU, with its 6 cores and 12 threads based on Zen 3, has no trouble feeding the GPU at this resolution, as evidenced by the high Low-setting frame rate of 220 FPS.

At 2560x1440, the GPU becomes even more stressed. The spread between Low and Ultra is 88 FPS (165 down to 77), and the minimum FPS figures at Medium (99) suggest that the GPU is the bottleneck in demanding scenes. The CPU’s single-thread score of 2872 in Passmark indicates it has ample headroom for the game’s FPS engine, which typically relies on strong single-core performance.

At 3840x2160, the GPU’s role is even more pronounced. The Ultra preset drops to 49 FPS, a 17 FPS hit over High, while the CPU remains largely idle. The 8 GB memory buffer on the RTX 3070 Ti becomes a limiting factor at 4K Ultra, as texture and geometry demands exceed what the card can efficiently process. The data shows that the CPU is never the primary constraint in this game; the GPU dictates performance at every resolution, with the gap widening as resolution increases.

Best Settings per Resolution

At 1920x1080, the most demanding preset that maintains at least 60 FPS is Ultra, which averages 105 FPS. This is the clear choice for maximum visual quality, as it delivers a frame rate that is 45 FPS above the playable threshold. Medium settings at 160 FPS are an option for higher refresh rates, but Ultra provides the full experience without sacrificing smoothness.

At 2560x1440, Ultra is again the best setting, averaging 77 FPS. This is 17 FPS above the 60 FPS threshold, providing a comfortable margin for most scenes. Medium settings at 117 FPS would be preferable for a 144Hz monitor, but for a standard 60Hz display, Ultra is the optimal balance of fidelity and performance.

At 3840x2160, High is the most demanding playable preset, averaging 66 FPS. This is only 6 FPS above the threshold, which leaves little room for variance in demanding sequences. Medium settings at 76 FPS offer a safer margin, but High remains playable with an average that clears 60 FPS. The Ultra preset at 49 FPS is not recommended, as it falls 11 FPS short of the playable standard. For 4K users, the data suggests sticking to High and accepting the tight frame rate headroom, or dropping to Medium for more consistent performance.
