Lockdown Protocol

The AMD Ryzen 5 5600G paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 delivers a decisive performance outcome for Lockdown Protocol: this combination clears the 60 FPS playable threshold at every resolution tested, from 1080p to 4K. The data shows a system that is fundamentally capable across the board, with the only limitation appearing at 4K Ultra settings, where the average frame rate dips to 56.4 FPS, just below the playable mark. For gamers prioritizing smooth gameplay over maximum visual fidelity, this setup offers a wide margin of headroom at high settings in 4K and fully playable Ultra performance at both 1440p and 1080p.

Similar Performance Alternatives

The CPU and GPU in this combination each sit within a tight cluster of comparable hardware based on their average benchmark scores. The AMD Ryzen 5 5600G achieves an average benchmark score of 21088, placing it in the 74th percentile of all CPUs. Its nearest rivals are extremely close in aggregate performance: the Intel Core i3-1220P scores 21066, a mere 0.1% difference, while the Intel Core Ultra 7 256V scores 21112, coming in at -0.1% relative to the 5600G. The AMD Ryzen 5 7530U scores 21133 (-0.2%), and the Intel Core Ultra 7 155U scores 21174 (-0.4%). Practically, this means any of these processors would yield nearly identical frame rates in Lockdown Protocol when paired with the same GPU, as the performance delta is negligible in real-world gaming scenarios.

On the graphics side, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 posts an average benchmark score of 37648, ranking in the 81st percentile of all GPUs. Its nearest rivals are similarly bunched: the NVIDIA Tesla P4 scores 37628 (0.1% delta), the AMD Radeon RX Vega 56 scores 37507 (0.4% delta), the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 Mobile scores 38135 (-1.3% delta), and the AMD Radeon PRO W6400 scores 37157 (1.3% delta). When considering alternatives to this specific combo, swapping the RTX 4070 for any of these GPUs would produce nearly identical frame rates at each resolution and settings preset, as the performance differences are all within a couple of percentage points. Similarly, pairing the RTX 4070 with any of the rival CPUs listed would not meaningfully change the measured FPS, given the sub-0.5% CPU score variations.

Best Settings per Resolution

At 3840x2160 (4K), the most demanding preset that maintains an average of at least 60 FPS is High, which delivers 78.3 FPS. The Medium preset also clears the threshold with 86.1 FPS, and Low achieves 124.4 FPS, but High represents the best visual quality that stays above 60 FPS. The Ultra preset falls short at 56.4 FPS, so it cannot be recommended for 4K play. For 2560x1440 (1440p), the Ultra preset is the best choice, achieving 86.4 FPS and remaining comfortably above the 60 FPS threshold. All other presets at this resolution also exceed 60 FPS: High runs at 116.7 FPS, Medium at 138.6 FPS, and Low at 189.8 FPS. At 1920x1080 (1080p), the Ultra preset delivers 118.6 FPS, making it the optimal selection. The High preset runs at 158.6 FPS, Medium at 188.2 FPS, and Low reaches 247 FPS, but Ultra provides the highest fidelity while still offering over double the playable threshold.

FAQ

Q: Can this PC run Lockdown Protocol at 4K resolution?

A: Yes, at 4K the system is playable on High, Medium, and Low presets. The High preset averages 78.3 FPS, Medium averages 86.1 FPS, and Low averages 124.4 FPS. The Ultra preset is not playable at 4K, as it drops to 56.4 FPS, below the 60 FPS threshold.

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

A: At 2560x1440, the Ultra preset is the best choice, delivering an average of 86.4 FPS. This provides the maximum visual quality while still maintaining a comfortable margin above the playable threshold of 60 FPS.

Q: How does the RTX 4070 compare to its nearest GPU rivals?

A: The RTX 4070 scores 37648 on average benchmarks, ranking in the 81st percentile. Its closest competitor is the NVIDIA Tesla P4 with a score of 37628 (0.1% difference), followed by the AMD Radeon RX Vega 56 at 37507 (0.4% difference). The performance gap between these GPUs is minimal, so gameplay results would be nearly identical.

Q: Is the Ryzen 5 5600G a bottleneck for the RTX 4070 in this game?

A: The data does not indicate a bottleneck. The CPU achieves a 74th percentile ranking among all CPUs with an average benchmark score of 21088, and its nearest rivals differ by less than 0.5% in score. The measured FPS figures across all resolutions suggest the combination performs cohesively, with no resolution showing an unexpected performance collapse.

Q: What frame rate can I expect at 1080p with Ultra settings?

A: At 1920x1080 with Ultra settings, the average frame rate is 118.6 FPS. This is nearly double the 60 FPS playable threshold, providing a very smooth experience for fast-paced FPS gameplay.

Q: Does the system support ray tracing for Lockdown Protocol?

A: The RTX 4070 is built on the Ada Lovelace architecture and includes 46 RT cores and 184 tensor cores. It supports DirectX 12 Ultimate (12_2), OpenGL 4.6, and Vulkan 1.4. However, the measured FPS data provided does not include ray tracing-specific benchmarks, so no conclusions can be drawn about ray tracing performance from this dataset.

The Verdict

This PC can run Lockdown Protocol at every resolution tested, provided the right settings are chosen. At 3840x2160, the system clears the 60 FPS threshold on High, Medium, and Low presets, with High being the best playable setting at 78.3 FPS. The Ultra preset at 4K is not playable, averaging 56.4 FPS. At 2560x1440, all four presets—Low, Medium, High, and Ultra—are playable, and the Ultra preset achieves 86.4 FPS, making it the recommended choice for maximum quality. At 1920x1080, the same full range of presets is playable, with Ultra delivering 118.6 FPS and offering the best balance of visual fidelity and performance. Overall, the system is fully capable of running the game smoothly at 1440p and 1080p with all settings maxed out, and at 4K with High settings. The only scenario where the system falls short of 60 FPS is 4K Ultra, which is a demanding combination that this hardware cannot quite sustain.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The measured FPS data covers three resolutions and four settings tiers, providing a comprehensive view of performance scaling. At 3840x2160, the Low preset averages 124.4 FPS, Medium averages 86.1 FPS, High averages 78.3 FPS, and Ultra averages 56.4 FPS. The progression from Low to Ultra shows a steady decline in frame rate, with the largest drop occurring between Medium and High (a 7.8 FPS difference) and between High and Ultra (a 21.9 FPS difference). At 2560x1440, the Low preset reaches 189.8 FPS, Medium hits 138.6 FPS, High runs at 116.7 FPS, and Ultra settles at 86.4 FPS. The scaling here is more gradual, with each step down in settings yielding roughly 20-30 FPS improvements. At 1920x1080, the Low preset achieves 247 FPS, Medium reaches 188.2 FPS, High delivers 158.6 FPS, and Ultra produces 118.6 FPS. The 1080p numbers show that even at Ultra settings, the system maintains a frame rate more than double the playable threshold. Across all resolutions, the data shows consistent performance scaling, with no anomalies or unexpected dips. The min and max FPS values are not provided in the dataset, so only average frame rates can be reported.

How This Combo Ranks

This specific combination of the AMD Ryzen 5 5600G and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 ranks 970th out of 3714 tested combinations in Lockdown Protocol. This places the combo in the top 26% of all tested hardware pairings, a strong result given the breadth of configurations evaluated. The ranking reflects the system's ability to maintain high frame rates across all resolutions, particularly the strong 1440p and 1080p performance. The 4K Ultra shortfall at 56.4 FPS is the primary factor preventing a higher ranking, as the system's performance at that extreme setting is the only measured configuration that fails to reach the playable threshold. Overall, the combo performs admirably, with the RTX 4070's 81st percentile GPU ranking providing the bulk of the graphical muscle, while the Ryzen 5 5600G's 74th percentile CPU ranking ensures adequate processing headroom. Users seeking a higher rank would need to either upgrade the GPU to handle 4K Ultra or accept the High preset at 4K as the ceiling for this configuration.
