Lockdown Protocol

The AMD Ryzen 5 7400F paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070 SUPER delivers a broad range of performance across Lockdown Protocol, depending on resolution and quality preset. The recorded data shows a system that can handle 1080p and 1440p with ease, while 4K requires more careful settings selection. This analysis breaks down the measured frames per second, the balance between processor and graphics card workload, and the hardware alternatives that sit closest in the database.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The measured FPS data for this combination covers three resolutions and four settings levels: Low, Medium, High, and Ultra. Not every cell includes minimum and maximum values, but the average FPS figures provide a clear picture of performance.

At 1920x1080, the system performs strongly across all presets. Low settings produce an average of 175 FPS. Medium settings average 125 FPS, with a recorded minimum of 106 FPS and a maximum of 143 FPS. High settings average 109 FPS. Ultra settings average 82 FPS. Every preset at this resolution stays well above the 60 FPS playability threshold, and even the most demanding setting leaves a comfortable margin.

At 2560x1440, the averages remain solid but show the expected cost of additional pixels. Low settings average 129 FPS. Medium settings average 91 FPS, with a minimum of 78 FPS and a maximum of 105 FPS. High settings average 80 FPS. Ultra settings average exactly 60 FPS, which lands precisely on the playability threshold. The data shows that 1440p Ultra is the boundary case for this combination: it is playable, but there is no headroom above the 60 FPS line.

At 3840x2160, the picture changes significantly. Low settings average 83 FPS, which is the only 4K preset with a clear margin above 60 FPS. Medium settings average 59 FPS, with a minimum of 50 FPS and a maximum of 68 FPS. That average sits just below the threshold, meaning some scenes will dip under 60 FPS. High settings average 51 FPS. Ultra settings average 39 FPS. The data indicates that 4K gaming with this hardware requires Low settings for a consistent experience, while Medium and above will produce noticeable frame rate dips.

The pattern across all resolutions follows a consistent trend: each step up in quality costs a significant number of frames. At 1080p, moving from Low to Ultra reduces the average from 175 FPS to 82 FPS, a drop of 93 FPS. At 1440p, the same preset change reduces the average from 129 FPS to 60 FPS, a drop of 69 FPS. At 4K, Low to Ultra drops from 83 FPS to 39 FPS, a reduction of 44 FPS. The absolute frame loss is smaller at higher resolutions because the starting point is already lower.

CPU and GPU Roles

Determining which component matters more for Lockdown Protocol requires examining how performance scales with resolution and preset changes. The data shows that the RTX 2070 SUPER becomes the dominant factor as resolution increases, while the Ryzen 5 7400F has more influence at lower resolutions and higher frame rates.

The scaling from 1080p to 1440p provides the clearest evidence. At Low settings, the average drops from 175 FPS to 129 FPS, a 26% reduction. At Medium settings, the average drops from 125 FPS to 91 FPS, a 27% reduction. At High settings, the average drops from 109 FPS to 80 FPS, a 27% reduction. At Ultra settings, the average drops from 82 FPS to 60 FPS, a 27% reduction. This consistent 26-27% decline across all presets indicates that the GPU is the limiting factor when moving from 1080p to 1440p, since the relative cost of each preset remains nearly identical.

The scaling from 1440p to 4K shows an even stronger GPU dependency. At Low settings, the average drops from 129 FPS to 83 FPS, a 36% reduction. At Medium settings, the average drops from 91 FPS to 59 FPS, a 35% reduction. At High settings, the average drops from 80 FPS to 51 FPS, a 36% reduction. At Ultra settings, the average drops from 60 FPS to 39 FPS, a 35% reduction. The larger percentage loss at 4K confirms that the graphics card is working near its limit, and the CPU has ample headroom to feed frames.

The Ryzen 5 7400F has 6 cores and 12 threads, with a base clock of 3.70 GHz and a boost clock of 4.70 GHz. Its benchmark results show strong single-thread and multi-thread performance, with a Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 21765 and a single-core score of 3072. The CPU sits in the 83rd percentile among all tested processors. At 1080p, where frame rates reach 175 FPS on Low settings, the CPU must deliver frames quickly enough to keep up with the graphics card. The fact that 1080p Low achieves 175 FPS suggests the processor can handle high frame rate scenarios without becoming the bottleneck.

At 4K, the CPU role diminishes. The GPU renders far fewer frames per second, and the processor has more than enough time to prepare each frame. The 39 FPS average at 4K Ultra is clearly a GPU limitation, as the same CPU drives 175 FPS at 1080p Low. The conclusion from the recorded data is that Lockdown Protocol scales primarily with GPU workload, and this combination has a CPU that can support the RTX 2070 SUPER at every resolution tested.

How This Combo Ranks

The database places this combination at rank 2165 out of 3714 tested combos for Lockdown Protocol. That puts it in the upper-middle portion of all tested systems. The rank reflects a configurable gaming experience: it can handle high refresh rates at 1080p, solid performance at 1440p, and only limited 4K capability.

This ranking makes sense given the component scores. The CPU ranks in the 83rd percentile among all processors, which is strong. The GPU ranks in the 65th percentile among all graphics cards, which is above average but not exceptional. The combination of a high-end CPU with a mid-to-upper-range GPU produces a system that is rarely CPU-limited in this game. The data shows the system performs best at 1080p and 1440p, where the GPU can deliver high frame rates and the CPU keeps up without issue.

The rank of 2165 out of 3714 means roughly 42% of tested combos perform better in this game. The systems ahead likely feature more powerful GPUs, since the CPU is already well above the median. The systems behind likely have weaker graphics cards or older processors. For a user with a 1080p or 1440p monitor, this rank represents a well-balanced pairing. For 4K, the rank reflects the GPU limitation, and users should adjust expectations accordingly.

Best Settings per Resolution

The best settings are defined as the most demanding preset that stays at or above 60 FPS average. The recorded data provides a clear answer for each resolution.

At 1920x1080, the best settings are Ultra, with an average of 82 FPS. This provides the highest visual quality while maintaining a 22 FPS margin above the threshold. Low, Medium, and High also work, but Ultra offers the most quality without sacrificing playability.

At 2560x1440, the best settings are Ultra, with an average of 60 FPS. This exactly meets the threshold, so it is technically playable. Users who prefer a safety margin can drop to High, which averages 80 FPS, but Ultra remains the highest quality option that clears 60 FPS.

At 3840x2160, the best settings are Low, with an average of 83 FPS. Medium averages 59 FPS, which falls just short of the threshold. High and Ultra are not viable options for 60 FPS play. Users with a 4K monitor should use Low settings, or reduce resolution if they want higher quality presets.

The overall picture is positive for this hardware. Lockdown Protocol runs well at 1080p and 1440p across all settings, and 4K is playable only on Low. The CPU and GPU pair provides a consistent experience, with the graphics card being the primary factor at higher resolutions. Users targeting 60 FPS or above should choose settings based on their display resolution, and the data shows this system has the performance to deliver smooth gameplay in most scenarios.
