Lockdown Protocol

# AMD Ryzen 5 5600G + NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Ti: Lockdown Protocol Performance Analysis

The data places this pairing in the 75th percentile of all tested GPU configurations and ranks 1324th out of 3714 tested combos for Lockdown Protocol. This is a capable mid-range pairing, built around a strong CPU with a solid enthusiast GPU, producing a system that handles the game well across all tested resolutions.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The measured FPS data provides a clear picture of how this configuration scales across resolutions and presets. The data shows a system that is capable at 1080p and 1440p, but which begins to strain at 4K with the highest settings.

3840x2160 (4K): At 4K, the system delivers an average of 66 FPS on High settings, with no minimum or maximum reported. Dropping to Low settings lifts the average to 106 FPS, while Medium settings produce 76 FPS (with a minimum of 64 and a maximum of 87). The Ultra preset, however, drops below the playable threshold, averaging 49 FPS. This makes Ultra at 4K the only tested preset that fails the 60 FPS playability threshold.

2560x1440 (1440p): At 1440p, the system performs notably better. High settings yield an average of 102 FPS, and Low settings jump to an average of 165 FPS. Medium settings average 117 FPS with a reported range between 99 and 135 FPS. Ultra settings at this resolution still average a solid 77 FPS. All tested presets at 1440p stay well above the 60 FPS threshold.

1920x1080 (1080p): At 1080p, this combination is very strong. The High preset averages 139 FPS, Low averages 225 FPS, and Medium averages 160 FPS with a minimum of 136 and maximum of 184. Ultra settings produce 105 FPS average. Every preset at 1080p clears the playability threshold with significant headroom.

Best Settings per Resolution

The data indicates the highest preset that maintains a 60+ FPS average at each resolution.

• 3840×2160: The best preset is High, which averages 66 FPS. The Ultra preset falls to 49 FPS and is not recommended for 4K.
• 2560×1440: The best preset is Ultra, yielding an average of 77 FPS. High (102 FPS), Medium (117 FPS), and Low (165 FPS) also play comfortably.
• 1920×1080: The best preset is Ultra, averaging 105 FPS. All tested presets (High at 139, Medium at 160, Low at 225) provide a very comfortable margin above the 60 FPS baseline.

CPU and GPU Roles

The benchmark data shows a system where the GPU is the primary scaling factor as resolution increases, but the CPU is strong enough to avoid bottlenecking the GPU until the highest settings are reached.

At 1080p, the CPU holds the system back only modestly. The average FPS scales from High (139 FPS) to Ultra (105 FPS), a 24% reduction, reflecting the additional shading work. At Medium, the 160 FPS average suggests the GPU is not being fully utilized; the CPU's six cores are supplying geometry and physics data faster than the graphics card can rasterize.

At 1440p, the pattern shifts. The Ultra preset (77 FPS) is only 26% lower than High (102 FPS), while Medium (117 FPS) is closer to High than to Low. This suggests the GPU begins to take on more shading work, but the CPU keeps up without issue. The Ryzen 5 5600G has a strong single-thread score (1801 in Geekbench, 1409 in Cinebench R23 single-core), which helps maintain frame pacing in CPU-bound scenes.

At 4K, the GPU takes over as the dominant factor. The gap between Low (106 FPS) and Ultra (49 FPS) is 54%, whereas the gap between Medium (76 FPS) and High (66 FPS) is only 13%. This compression at the top end shows the RTX 3070 Ti hitting its limits at this resolution. The GPU's 6144 shading units and 192 TMUs are the likely limiters, as the 4K Ultra preset (49 FPS) is the only tested setting that falls below the 60 FPS threshold. The CPU's 3DMark physics score of 900 and Passmark multithread score of 19,717 keep the system from bottlenecking the GPU at 1440p and below.

The scaling between 1080p Ultra (105 FPS) and 1440p Ultra (77 FPS) shows a 27% drop, which is smaller than the drop between 1440p Ultra and 4K Ultra (37%). This indicates that the RTX 3070 Ti's memory bandwidth (608.3 GB/s) is sufficient at 1440p but begins to saturate at 4K. The GPU's pixel rate (169.9 GPixel/s) and texture rate (339.8 GTexel/s) are fully utilized at 1080p and 1440p, but the 4K Ultra preset demands more than the card can feed.

The CPU's role is meaningful but secondary. The AMD Ryzen 5 5600G (6 cores, 12 threads, Zen 3 architecture) provides 3DMark 16-thread scores of 5,451 and Geekbench multi-core of 8,428. Passmark multithread of 19,717 and integer math of 67,344 indicate the CPU will not bottleneck the GPU in most scenarios. At 4K Ultra, however, the game's draw calls and shadow rendering can become CPU-bound; the 49 FPS at Ultra 4K reflects this limitation.

How This Combo Ranks

The combo rank of 1,324 out of 3,714 tested combinations places this pairing in the upper-middle tier. In the database, it sits 0.1% ahead of the Intel Core i3-1220P and Intel Core Ultra 7 256V, both of which have nearly identical average scores. The AMD Ryzen 5 7530U trails by 0.2%, and the Intel Core Ultra 7 155U is 0.4% behind. This means the 5600G/3070 Ti pairing is a well-balanced set with no obvious weak point, but faces strong competition from both Intel and AMD alternatives at similar average scores.

FAQ

Q: Can the AMD Ryzen 5 5600G run Lockdown Protocol at 4K Ultra settings?

A: No. The data shows 4K Ultra at an average of 49 FPS, below the 60 FPS playable threshold. The best 4K preset is Medium at 76 FPS.

Q: What is the best 4K preset for this combination?

A: Medium is the best, with an average of 76 FPS. High (66 FPS) also works, but Low (106) is a better option if you need more headroom.

Q: Does the RTX 3070 Ti bottleneck the 5600G at 1440p?

A: No. At 1440p, the CPU does not bottleneck the GPU. The Ultra preset scores 77 FPS with no minimum dips. The Ultra at 1080p (105 FPS) also avoids bottlenecking.

Q: How does this combo perform at 1080p for competitive play?

A: Excellent. All presets are above 60 FPS. The lowest preset, Low, hits 225 FPS, and Ultra runs 108 FPS. For max smoothness, the Medium preset at 160 FPS is a balanced choice.

Q: Is the Ryzen 5 5600G a capable pairing with the RTX 3070 Ti?

A: Yes. The CPU's strong 12-thread performance (19,717 Passmark) and cache layout (16 MB L3) keep up with the GPU at 1080p and 1440p. At 4K, the game is more GPU-dependent, and only the Ultra preset fell below 60 FPS.

The Verdict

Can this PC run Lockdown Protocol? The data says yes, with a clear caveat at the top end.

• 1920×1080: Yes. All presets clear 60 FPS comfortably. The weakest preset is Ultra at 108 FPS; the strongest, Low, reaches 225 FPS.
• 2560×1440: Yes. Even the most demanding Ultra preset stays at 77 FPS. Medium, High, and Low are all above 100 FPS.
• 3840×2160: Almost. The High preset (66 FPS) and Medium (76 FPS) are the only playable presets. Ultra falls to 49 FPS and is not recommended.

This is a solid 1080p and 1440p machine with good headroom at 4K for High/Medium settings. The 5600G's 12 threads and the 3070 Ti's 6144 shading units form a balanced pair for most of the game, but the 4K Ultra preset is beyond what this GPU can deliver.

Similar Performance Alternatives

The nearest rival configurations are within 0.5% of this combo's average score, so performance differences will be small. The closest tested alternatives are:

• NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Mobile + Intel Core i3-1220P: The i3-1220P's 10-core/12-thread design pairs with the 3070 Mobile version. Expect similar or slightly higher average scores (0.1% delta) at 1080p, with a slightly lower 4K headroom.
• AMD Radeon RX 6800 + AMD Ryzen 5 7530U: A -0.5% delta to the average score. The RX 6800's 60 CUs and 16 GB GDDR6 memory chips give you a little more shading headroom at 4K, but the 7530U's lower core count (6) affects CPU-bound scenes.
• NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2080 Ti + Intel Core Ultra 7 256V: 0.5% higher average score. The 2080 Ti has higher memory bandwidth, but the 256V's 8.5 MB L3 cache is smaller than the 5600G's 16 MB.

These alternatives trade within a narrow performance band. None of them will dramatically change the experience in Lockdown Protocol.
