Lockdown Protocol

The AMD Ryzen 5 7400F and AMD Radeon RX 7800 XT combination delivers strong performance in Lockdown Protocol, a 2024-released FPS title. The measured data shows this pairing comfortably exceeds the 60 FPS playability threshold at 1080p and 1440p across all tested quality presets, with 4K remaining viable at High settings. The following analysis breaks down the benchmark results to clarify what these numbers mean for actual gameplay.

FAQ

Q: Can this system run Lockdown Protocol at 4K Ultra settings?

A: No. The measured average FPS at 3840x2160 with Ultra settings is 52, which falls below the 60 FPS playable threshold. The highest playable preset at this resolution is High, which averages 69 FPS.

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

A: At 2560x1440, the Ultra preset is playable with an average of 80 FPS. This is the most demanding setting that stays at or above 60 FPS, making it the recommended choice for maximum visual quality at this resolution.

Q: How much FPS headroom does the system have at 1080p?**

A: At 1920x1080 with Low settings, the average FPS reaches 235. Even at Ultra settings, the system maintains an average of 109 FPS, which is nearly double the 60 FPS threshold, indicating substantial headroom for high-refresh-rate monitors.

Q: Which component appears to be the bottleneck at 4K?**

A: The scaling data suggests the GPU becomes the limiting factor at 3840x2160. The average FPS drops from 111 at Low to 52 at Ultra, a reduction of over half, indicating the graphics card is being fully utilized as resolution and settings increase.

Q: Is this combination ranked highly among tested systems?**

A: This combo ranks 1235 out of 3714 tested combinations, placing it in the upper third of all tested PC builds for Lockdown Protocol. The rank indicates a strong overall standing without being a top-tier configuration.

Q: What are the minimum FPS figures at Medium settings?**

A: At Medium settings, the minimum FPS readings are 142 at 1920x1080, 104 at 2560x1440, and 67 at 3840x2160. These minimums remain above the 60 FPS threshold at all resolutions, confirming consistent performance.

Best Settings per Resolution

The measured data identifies the most demanding preset that maintains at least 60 FPS average at each resolution.

At 1920x1080, the Ultra preset delivers an average of 109 FPS. This is the highest quality setting available, and the performance comfortably exceeds the playability threshold, leaving room for potential user-side enhancements without dropping below 60 FPS.

At 2560x1440, the Ultra preset also remains playable, with an average of 80 FPS. This indicates the combination can handle the highest graphical quality at a common high-refresh-rate resolution, though the headroom is smaller than at 1080p.

At 3840x2160, the Ultra preset falls short at 52 FPS, and High becomes the most demanding playable option. High settings at 4K yield an average of 69 FPS, which is only 9 FPS above the threshold, making it the recommended ceiling for this resolution.

CPU and GPU Roles

The scaling of measured FPS across resolutions and presets clarifies which component dominates in Lockdown Protocol. The game is an FPS, and the data indicates a clear shift in bottleneck behavior as resolution changes.

At 1920x1080, the CPU's role is more significant. Moving from Low to Ultra reduces the average FPS from 235 to 109, a drop of 126 FPS. This large range suggests the CPU is capable of feeding the GPU high frame rates at Low settings, but the GPU becomes more taxed as visual effects increase. The CPU benchmarks show a strong single-threaded score of 3689 in Passmark, which supports its ability to drive high FPS at lower resolution workloads.

At 2560x1440, the scaling is similar but with a smaller absolute range: from 172 FPS at Low to 80 FPS at Ultra. The relative reduction (52%) is slightly less than at 1080p (54%), indicating the GPU is starting to shoulder more of the load as pixel count increases, but the CPU still has a meaningful impact on the Low-setting performance.

At 3840x2160, the GPU becomes the dominant factor. The FPS range narrows to 111 at Low down to 52 at Ultra, and the Medium settings show a min of 67 FPS. The gap between Low and Ultra is 59 FPS, which is a smaller relative gap than at lower resolutions. This pattern indicates the GPU is the primary constraint at 4K, as the CPU's ability to supply frames exceeds the GPU's rendering capacity.

The data also shows that at Medium settings, the minimum FPS figures are closer to the averages at higher resolutions (min 67 vs avg 79 at 4K), suggesting that the GPU is working at a more consistent load, while at 1080p the minimum (142) is farther from the average (167), indicating more variation in per-frame rendering times that the CPU cannot fully smooth out.

Similar Performance Alternatives

The nearestRivals data provides context for how this CPU and GPU compare to other hardware.

For the AMD Ryzen 5 7400F, the closest rival is the Intel Core i5-14600T, which has an average benchmark score of 32707, a delta of 0.1% from the 7400F's 32750. The AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 6850H is 0.2% higher, while the AMD Ryzen AI 7 PRO 360 is 0.3% higher. The Intel Core Ultra 7 155H is 0.2% higher. All four rivals are within 0.3% of the 7400F's average score, meaning a system with any of these CPUs would yield nearly identical performance in Lockdown Protocol, assuming the same GPU.

For the AMD Radeon RX 7800 XT, the nearest rival is the AMD Radeon Pro 5500M, which has an average score of 11528, a delta of 0.9% behind. The NVIDIA Tesla K20c is 1.3% behind, while the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1660 is 0.5% ahead, and the AMD Radeon RX 6500 XT is 1.8% ahead. These rivals are all within a 2.7% band of the 7800 XT's average score, suggesting that swapping the GPU for any of these would yield a similar frame rate in this game, although the GTX 1660 and RX 6500 XT would be slightly faster on average.

How This Combo Ranks

In the full benchmark database, the AMD Ryzen 5 7400F + AMD Radeon RX 7800 XT combination holds the 1235th position out of 3714 tested systems, placing it in the top third of all configurations. This percentile position means that roughly two-thirds of all tested combos score lower in Lockdown Protocol, while about one-third score higher. The rank reflects a balanced pairing that does not reach the extreme top tier but consistently delivers a high level of performance across all three tested resolutions.

Given that the playable threshold is 60 FPS, the rank of 1235 does not imply any playability issues; it simply indicates that a large number of other hardware pairings (particularly those with higher-tier GPUs) can achieve even higher frame rates. The data shows that this combo still meets or exceeds the 60 FPS target at every resolution except 4K with Ultra settings.

The Verdict

Yes, this PC can run Lockdown Protocol. The verdict by resolution confirms the following playable settings:

• 3840x2160 (4K): High is the best playable setting at 69 FPS, with Low and Medium also exceeding 60 FPS. Ultra is not playable at 52 FPS.
• 2560x1440 (1440p): Ultra is playable with an average of 80 FPS, and all lower settings also remain above 60 FPS.
• 1920x1080 (1080p): Ultra is playable with an average of 109 FPS, and all settings exceed 60 FPS by a large margin.

The data clearly indicates that the most demanding preset at every resolution except 4K Ultra stays above the playable threshold. Users with a 1440p or 1080p display can max out the settings without any frame rate concerns. For 4K, the system requires a small reduction to High settings to maintain a smooth 60+ FPS experience.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The following exact measurements were recorded for each resolution and preset combination.

3840x2160 (4K):

• Low: average 111 FPS
• Medium: average 79 FPS, with a minimum of 67 and maximum of 91
• High: average 69 FPS
• Ultra: average 52 FPS

2560x1440 (1440p):

• Low: average 172 FPS
• Medium: average 122 FPS, with a minimum of 104 and maximum of 141
• High: average 107 FPS
• Ultra: average 80 FPS

1920x1080 (1080p):

• Low: average 235 FPS
• Medium: average 167 FPS, with a minimum of 142 and maximum of 192
• High: average 146 FPS
• Ultra: average 109 FPS

The minimum FPS data is only provided for the Medium preset at each resolution, which shows that even the 4K Medium setting never drops below 67 FPS, ensuring a stable experience. The lack of min/max data for other presets indicates the benchmark only tracked those figures for Medium, but the average FPS values alone confirm that all non-Ultra 4K and all 1440p/1080p settings are above the playable threshold.
