Lockdown Protocol

The AMD Ryzen 5 7500F paired with the AMD Radeon RX 6700 XT delivers playable frame rates in Lockdown Protocol across most tested configurations. At 1920x1080 and 2560x1440, every preset from Low to Ultra exceeds the 60 FPS threshold, while at 3840x2160 only Low and Medium remain playable. The best playable setting at 4K is Medium with an average of 64.7 FPS, at 1440p it is Ultra with 64 FPS, and at 1080p it is Ultra with 89.5 FPS. This combo ranks 1944th out of 3714 tested combinations for this game.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The measured data provides average FPS only; minimum and maximum frame rates were not recorded. The table below lists the average FPS for each resolution and preset.

| Resolution | Settings | Average FPS | Min FPS | Max FPS |

|------------|----------|-------------|---------|---------|

| 3840x2160 | Low | 89.9 | — | — |

| 3840x2160 | Medium | 64.7 | — | — |

| 3840x2160 | High | 57.3 | — | — |

| 3840x2160 | Ultra | 39.5 | — | — |

| 2560x1440 | Low | 139.5 | — | — |

| 2560x1440 | Medium | 102.4 | — | — |

| 2560x1440 | High | 87.1 | — | — |

| 2560x1440 | Ultra | 64 | — | — |

| 1920x1080 | Low | 190.5 | — | — |

| 1920x1080 | Medium | 137.6 | — | — |

| 1920x1080 | High | 116.4 | — | — |

| 1920x1080 | Ultra | 89.5 | — | — |

At 3840x2160, the average frame rate drops from 89.9 on Low to 39.5 on Ultra. Only Low and Medium clear the 60 FPS threshold; High sits at 57.3 and Ultra at 39.5. The gap between Low and Medium is 25.2 FPS, while the drop from Medium to High is 7.4 FPS, and from High to Ultra is 17.8 FPS. These numbers show that the GPU struggles to maintain high frame rates at 4K when visual quality is increased. At 2560x1440, all presets exceed 60 FPS, with Ultra still maintaining 64 FPS. The spread from Low to Ultra is 75.5 FPS, indicating that the GPU has headroom at this resolution. At 1920x1080, the combo delivers high frame rates across the board, with Ultra at 89.5 FPS and Low reaching 190.5 FPS. The difference between Low and Ultra is 101 FPS, which suggests that the CPU is not a limiting factor at this resolution, as even the highest preset remains well above the playable threshold.

The data shows a consistent decrease in average FPS as resolution increases for each preset. For example, at High settings, the average FPS falls from 116.4 at 1920x1080 to 87.1 at 2560x1440 and 57.3 at 3840x2160. This pattern is typical of GPU-bound workloads, where the rendering resolution directly impacts the frame rate. The same trend appears at Low settings, with 190.5 at 1080p, 139.5 at 1440p, and 89.9 at 4K. The scaling is not linear, but the direction is consistent across all presets.

Best Settings per Resolution

The most demanding preset that stays at or above 60 FPS is as follows:

• 3840x2160: Medium, with an average of 64.7 FPS. High and Ultra fall below 60 FPS, so they are not recommended for a smooth experience.
• 2560x1440: Ultra, with an average of 64 FPS. All presets are playable, but Ultra is the highest setting that maintains the threshold.
• 1920x1080: Ultra, with an average of 89.5 FPS. All presets are playable, and Ultra is the highest setting.

These settings represent the maximum visual quality that maintains a playable frame rate at each resolution. At 4K, the GPU cannot sustain 60 FPS on High or Ultra, but Medium provides a comfortable margin above the threshold. At 1440p and 1080p, the combo has enough headroom to run the game at its highest preset without dropping below 60 FPS.

CPU and GPU Roles

The frame rate scaling across resolutions indicates that the GPU becomes the primary constraint as resolution increases. For example, at High settings, the average FPS falls from 116.4 at 1920x1080 to 87.1 at 2560x1440 and 57.3 at 3840x2160. This pattern is consistent with a GPU-bound workload. At 1920x1080, the high frame rates (up to 190.5 on Low) suggest that the CPU is capable of feeding the GPU, but the data does not isolate CPU utilization. The CPU, an AMD Ryzen 5 7500F, has 6 cores and 12 threads, with a base clock of 3.70 GHz and a boost clock of 5.00 GHz. Its 3DMark single-thread score is 974 and its multi-thread score is 6379, placing it in the 77th percentile of all CPUs. The GPU, an AMD Radeon RX 6700 XT, has 2560 shading units, 12 GB of GDDR6 memory, and a memory bandwidth of 384.0 GB/s. Its PassMark G3D score is 19786, and it sits in the 72nd percentile of all GPUs.

Both components are above average, but the GPU's performance is more directly tied to resolution scaling in this game. The CPU's nearest rivals include the Intel Core i7-11850H (0.1% higher average score) and the Intel Core i7-13620H (0.2% higher). The GPU's nearest rivals include the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Mobile (0% difference) and the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3090 (0.5% lower). These comparisons show that the CPU and GPU are closely matched to other mid-to-high-range parts. The CPU's high single-thread performance (3DMark single-thread 974) and multi-thread performance (Cinebench R23 multicore 22799) indicate that it can handle the game's logic and physics without bottlenecking the GPU at lower resolutions. At 4K, the GPU's memory bandwidth and shading unit count become the limiting factors, as evidenced by the sharp drop in FPS when moving from Medium to High.

The Verdict

This PC can run Lockdown Protocol. At 1920x1080, all presets are playable, with Ultra averaging 89.5 FPS. At 2560x1440, all presets are also playable, with Ultra at 64 FPS. At 3840x2160, only Low and Medium are playable, with Medium at 64.7 FPS. The combo clears the 60 FPS threshold at 1080p and 1440p on every preset, and at 4K on Low and Medium. For 4K High and Ultra, the frame rate falls below 60 FPS, so those presets are not recommended. The data shows that the system is well-suited for 1080p and 1440p gaming, and it can handle 4K with reduced settings.

How This Combo Ranks

The combination ranks 1944th out of 3714 tested combos for Lockdown Protocol. The CPU is in the 77th percentile of all CPUs, and the GPU is in the 72nd percentile of all GPUs.
