# AMD Ryzen 5 5600G + AMD Radeon RX 9070: Lockdown Protocol Benchmark Analysis

The AMD Ryzen 5 5600G paired with the AMD Radeon RX 9070 delivers a consistently playable Lockdown Protocol experience across 1080p, 1440p, and 2160p, with the most demanding Ultra preset remaining fluid at all three resolutions. This combination ranks 1061st out of 3714 tested configurations in our database, placing it in the upper third of tested systems—a strong result for a mid-range CPU paired with a current-generation GPU.

How This Combo Ranks

The Ryzen 5 5600G + Radeon RX 9070 pairing achieves a combo rank of 1061 out of 3714 tested combinations. This places it roughly in the 71st percentile of all tested CPU-GPU pairings, meaning it outperforms approximately 71% of the configurations we have benchmarked. The system’s overall average benchmark score of 21088 is nearly identical to its nearest rivals, with the Intel Core i3-1220P trailing by just 0.1% and the AMD Ryzen 5 7530U ahead by a mere 0.2%. This tight clustering indicates that, at the CPU level, the 5600G is essentially performance-equivalent to modern mid-range laptop chips from both Intel and AMD.

On the GPU side, the RX 9070 sits just behind the NVIDIA GeForce GTX TITAN Z by 0.6% and trails the AMD Radeon RX 6800S by 0.8%. The RX 9070’s average benchmark of 23877 puts it in the same performance tier as these previous-generation and current laptop flagships, meaning the GPU is not the bottleneck in this pairing—the 5600G’s CPU performance is the more limiting factor at lower resolutions, while the GPU takes over at higher settings.

CPU and GPU Roles

The data shows a clear division of labor between the Ryzen 5 5600G and the Radeon RX 9070. The CPU’s performance is, in aggregate, roughly 0.1–0.4% behind the nearest rival chips, but its single-threaded score of 1801 in Geekbench is its strongest asset, surpassing the multicore score of 8428 in relative terms. This single-thread strength is what keeps frame pacing steady in game logic and physics that are typically single-core bound in Lockdown Protocol.

The GPU asserts its dominance at higher resolutions. At 1080p, the combo moves from 244.7 FPS on Low to 176.8 FPS on Medium, and finally 117.7 FPS on Ultra—all comfortably above the 60 FPS playability threshold. The 1440p results follow a similar pattern: 182.7 FPS at Low, 126.5 FPS at Medium, and 111.3 FPS at High, with Ultra hitting 85.2 FPS. At 4K, the scaling is steeper: 118.1 FPS at Low, 82.8 FPS at Medium, and 74.9 FPS at High. The High preset at 4K drops to just under the 60 FPS threshold, but the Medium preset holds at 82.8 FPS.

It is noteworthy that the RX 9070’s 16 GB of GDDR6 memory and 256-bit bus are never a limitation at these settings, and the PCIe 5.0 x16 interface provides ample bandwidth even at 4K Ultra settings. The CPU’s dual-channel DDR4-3200 support rated at 51.2 GB/s is more than sufficient for game logic; the GPU is almost always the active component.

Best Settings per Resolution

For 1920x1080, the most demanding playable setting is Ultra, delivering 117.7 FPS average. This gives a comfortable 57.7 FPS of headroom above the 60 FPS threshold, indicating substantial spare capacity. The High preset runs at 154.8 FPS and Medium at 176.8 FPS, but Ultra’s margin over the competition is decisive.

At 2560x1440, the best setting is Ultra at 85.2 FPS average. This is 25.2 FPS above the playability floor. High scores 111.3 FPS and Medium 126.5 FPS. Low yields 182.7 FPS. All settings hold 60 FPS, but Ultra’s visual quality is the target.

For 3840x2160, the best playable setting is High at 74.9 FPS average. This is 14.9 FPS over the threshold. Medium scores 82.8 FPS and Low 118.1 FPS. Ultra is not selectable at 4K, so High is the top preset and it delivers a fluid experience.

Similar Performance Alternatives

The Intel Core i3-1220P is the closest running CPU rival, averaging 21066 in the aggregate benchmark—just 0.1% behind the 5600G. Systems with this chip will behave nearly identically in Lockdown Protocol, with the Intel part having a slight single-thread advantage in some scenes. The AMD Ryzen 5 7530U is 0.2% faster overall, and the Intel Core Ultra 7 155U trails by 0.4%. In practice, all four CPUs are within the margin of run-to-run variance, and none of these rivals will cause a noticeable difference in frame pacing in this combo.

GPU-wise, the NVIDIA GeForce GTX TITAN Z is the nearest Radeon RX 9070 rival at 0.6% lower aggregate score. The AMD Radeon RX 6800S is 0.8% faster. The RTX 3080 Mobile is 1.1% behind. These three cards are direct contemporaries, and the RX 9070 will trade blows with any of them depending on the driver maturity and game build. The GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER is 1.2% off the pace, so it remains a viable alternative if found cheaper.

FAQ

Q: Can the AMD Ryzen 5 5600G + AMD Radeon RX 9070 run Lockdown Protocol?

A: Yes. The data shows this combination runs the game well at all tested resolutions. At 1080p Ultra it reaches 117.7 FPS, at 1440p Ultra 85.2, and at 4K High 74.9. All presets hold above the 60 FPS playability line.

Q: What is the best setting for 1440p with this combo?

A: Ultra. It achieves 85.2 FPS average, the highest of all tested presets at this resolution, and gives the most visual fidelity.

Q: How does the RX 9070 compare to the GTX TITAN Z in this game?

A: The RX 9070 averages 23877 across all benchmarks, which is 0.6% behind the GTX TITAN Z’s 23736. In actual FPS terms, the difference is negligible; at 4K Medium the RX is 82.8 FPS vs the GTX TITAN’s approximate 79.2 FPS, assuming a similar scaling factor.

Q: Is the 5600G’s single-thread performance enough for Lockdown?

A: The 5600G’s Geekbench single-core score of 1801 is strong, and it outperforms the Intel Core i3-1220P’s 1800 in lightly threaded tasks. Lockdown’s engine loop is heavily multithreaded, but AI and physics tick single-threaded; this score keeps those checks well above 60 FPS.

Q: Does the combo need a PCIe 5.0 board?

A: The RX 9070 is a PCIe 5.0 x16 card. The 5600G is PCIe 3.0. The board must have at least a PCIe 4.0 slot for best results; in our test bench both parts are within a Gen 3 ecosystem. Users with older boards will see a smaller bandwidth, but not a frame-rate issue at 1080p.
