This pairing ranks 641st out of 3,714 tested combos, placing it comfortably within the top 17% of all configurations. The data indicates that this system is not merely capable of running the game, but does so with substantial headroom across all tested resolutions and presets, with the weakest recorded average frame rate still significantly exceeding the 60 FPS playability threshold.

How This Combo Ranks

The combo’s rank of 641 out of 3,714 tested combinations places it in the 83rd percentile of all tested systems. This is a strong position, indicating that the Ryzen 5 5600F and RTX 4070 Ti combination outperforms the vast majority of hardware pairings evaluated for Lockdown Protocol. The CPU itself holds an 85th percentile ranking among all CPUs, while the GPU sits at the 84th percentile among all GPUs, showing a balanced pairing of two components that are both individually above-average performers in their respective categories.

Benchmark results confirm the strength of this pairing. The CPU’s average benchmark score of 36,945 is nearly identical to its nearest rival, the Intel Core Ultra 5 225, which scores 36,938 (a 0% delta). The CPU also edges out the AMD Ryzen 5 5500X3D by a 0.2% margin, with that rival scoring 37,018. On the GPU side, the RTX 4070 Ti’s average benchmark score of 44,795 sits close to the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 Mobile’s 45,152 (a -0.8% delta), while it performs 1.6% better than the NVIDIA RTX A6000, which scores 44,075. These benchmark scores suggest that neither component is a bottleneck in this configuration, with both delivering performance near the top of their respective hardware classes.

CPU and GPU Roles

For Lockdown Protocol, the division of labor between the CPU and GPU becomes apparent through the measured frame rate scaling across resolutions. At 1920x1080 with Low settings, the system achieves an average of 220 FPS. When resolution increases to 2560x1440 at Low settings, the average drops to 199 FPS, a decrease of approximately 9.5%. Moving further to 3840x2160 at Low settings yields 144 FPS, a 27.6% drop from the 1440p figure. This scaling pattern indicates that at lower settings, the GPU is becoming an increasingly limiting factor as resolution rises, though the CPU still has enough headroom to maintain high frame rates.

The role reversal becomes clearer when examining preset scaling at a fixed resolution. At 3840x2160, moving from Low to Medium settings reduces the average from 144 to 103 FPS, a 28.5% drop. From Medium to High, the average falls to 90 FPS, another 12.6% decrease. Finally, from High to Ultra, the average drops to 67 FPS, a 25.6% reduction. This steep scaling curve with increasing graphical demands demonstrates that the GPU is the dominant component at 4K resolution, with the CPU’s role being secondary.

At 2560x1440, the pattern shifts slightly. Low settings produce 199 FPS, Medium drops to 159 FPS (a 20.1% decrease), High falls to 139 FPS (a 12.6% drop), and Ultra reaches 104 FPS (a 25.2% reduction). The relative scaling between presets is similar to 4K, but the absolute frame rates are higher, suggesting that the GPU still carries most of the load. At 1920x1080, the differences become more compressed: Low yields 220 FPS, Medium 194 FPS (an 11.8% drop), High 185 FPS (a 4.6% drop), and Ultra 142 FPS (a 23.2% reduction). The smaller percentage drops between Low and High at 1080p indicate that the CPU is more capable of keeping pace with the GPU at this resolution, though the GPU remains the primary performance driver across all settings.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The measured FPS data provides a comprehensive view of performance across all resolution and preset combinations. At 1920x1080, the system delivers its highest average frame rates. Low settings produce an average of 220 FPS, Medium settings average 194 FPS with a minimum of 165 FPS and a maximum of 223 FPS, High settings average 185 FPS, and Ultra settings average 142 FPS. The minimum frame rate recorded at 1080p Medium (165 FPS) is well above the 60 FPS playability threshold, indicating consistent performance without significant dips.

Moving to 2560x1440, performance remains strong. Low settings average 199 FPS, Medium settings average 159 FPS with a minimum of 135 FPS and a maximum of 183 FPS, High settings average 139 FPS, and Ultra settings average 104 FPS. The 135 FPS minimum at Medium settings confirms that even in demanding scenes, the frame rate does not approach the 60 FPS floor. At 3840x2160, the system still delivers playable performance across all presets. Low settings average 144 FPS, Medium settings average 103 FPS with a minimum of 87 FPS and a maximum of 118 FPS, High settings average 90 FPS, and Ultra settings average 67 FPS. The 87 FPS minimum at 4K Medium shows that even the lowest recorded frame rate at this resolution remains comfortably above the playability threshold.

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 Mobile scores 45,152 (0.8% higher), the AMD Radeon Pro 5500 XT scores 45,384 (1.3% higher), and the Intel Arc A730M scores 45,592 (1.7% higher). The NVIDIA RTX A6000 scores 44,075, which is 1.6% lower. Systems using these GPUs would produce frame rates in Lockdown Protocol very close to those measured for the RTX 4070 Ti, with differences likely within a few FPS at each resolution and preset.

Best Settings per Resolution

At 1920x1080, the most demanding preset that maintains an average of at least 60 FPS is Ultra, which delivers an average of 142 FPS. This is more than double the playability threshold, indicating that users can enable maximum graphical quality without concern for performance. At 2560x1440, Ultra settings also remain the best choice, producing an average of 104 FPS, still well above the 60 FPS target. At 3840x2160, the most demanding playable preset is Ultra, with an average of 67 FPS. While this is the lowest average across all resolutions, it still clears the 60 FPS threshold by a 7 FPS margin, confirming that the system can handle 4K at maximum settings.

For users prioritizing higher frame rates over visual fidelity, the data shows that Low settings at 4K produce 144 FPS, while Medium settings at 4K deliver 103 FPS. At 1440p, Low reaches 199 FPS and Medium achieves 159 FPS, while at 1080p, Low hits 220 FPS and Medium reaches 194 FPS. The minimum frame rates recorded at Medium settings (87 FPS at 4K, 135 FPS at 1440p, and 165 FPS at 1080p) all remain far above the 60 FPS playability threshold.

The Verdict

The data confirms that the AMD Ryzen 5 5600F and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti combination can run Lockdown Protocol exceptionally well at all tested resolutions. At 1920x1080, the system clears the 60 FPS playability threshold at every preset, with the most demanding Ultra settings averaging 142 FPS. At 2560x1440, Ultra settings deliver 104 FPS, more than 40 FPS above the threshold. At 3840x2160, the system remains fully playable at Ultra settings with an average of 67 FPS, and every other preset at 4K exceeds 60 FPS by a substantial margin, from 90 FPS at High to 144 FPS at Low.

The verdictByResolution data lists all four settings presets (High, Low, Medium, and Ultra) as playable at each resolution, with the best settings being Ultra at all three resolutions. The system’s weakest measured performance point—4K Ultra at 67 FPS average—still provides a 7 FPS cushion above the playability threshold. This indicates that the combination offers both high maximum frame rates for competitive play at lower resolutions and sufficient performance for visually demanding 4K gaming. The balanced nature of the CPU and GPU pairing, evidenced by their similar percentile rankings (85th for CPU, 84th for GPU) and the consistent frame rates across all test conditions, makes this a robust configuration for Lockdown Protocol.
