Lockdown Protocol

The AMD Ryzen 5 7500F paired with the AMD Radeon RX 6750 XT is a compelling combination for Lockdown Protocol, a fast-paced FPS title. The benchmark data paints a clear picture of a system that delivers smooth gameplay across most popular resolutions. At 4K, the system just barely crosses the 60 FPS threshold on High settings, while at 1440p and 1080p it offers substantial headroom. The data suggests this is a well-balanced pairing where the GPU becomes the primary scaling factor as resolution increases, but the CPU's strong single-thread performance ensures high frame rates at lower resolutions.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The measured FPS data for this combination reveals a performance curve that scales predictably with resolution and settings. At 1920x1080, the system is exceptionally fast, with the Low preset delivering an average of 201.7 FPS. This drops to 142.2 FPS on Medium, 126.7 FPS on High, and 92.6 FPS on Ultra. The gap between Low and Medium is notable at 59.5 FPS, indicating that the Medium preset introduces significant graphical work. The jump from High to Ultra costs 34.1 FPS, which is a substantial hit for the visual fidelity gain.

Moving to 2560x1440, the performance remains strong but the scaling tightens. The Low preset averages 146.6 FPS, which is a 27.3% reduction compared to 1080p Low. Medium drops to 103.6 FPS, High to 93 FPS, and Ultra to 65.8 FPS. The delta between Medium and High at 1440p is only 10.6 FPS, which is much smaller than the 15.5 FPS gap seen at 1080p. This suggests that at higher resolutions, the GPU is becoming more of a limiting factor, compressing the differences between lighter presets.

At 3840x2160, the system begins to show its limits. The Low preset still manages 95.5 FPS, which is impressive for 4K. Medium drops to 66.9 FPS, and High comes in at 60.6 FPS. The Ultra preset falls below the playable threshold with an average of 42.5 FPS. The scaling from Low to Medium at 4K is a 28.6 FPS drop, and from Medium to High it's another 6.3 FPS drop. This indicates that at 4K, the GPU is heavily taxed, and each settings increment has a pronounced effect on frame rates.

The data shows that min and max FPS values are not available in this dataset, so the analysis relies solely on average FPS. However, the average figures are consistent enough to establish clear performance tiers. The system never drops below 60 FPS average on any preset at 1080p or 1440p, and it only does so at 4K Ultra. The most demanding configuration tested, 4K Ultra, produces 42.5 FPS, which is 17.5 FPS below the playable threshold. Conversely, the least demanding configuration, 1080p Low, produces 201.7 FPS, which is more than triple the playable threshold.

Best Settings per Resolution

For each resolution, the data identifies the most demanding preset that still maintains an average of at least 60 FPS. At 1920x1080, the Ultra preset is the best choice, delivering 92.6 FPS. This leaves a comfortable 32.6 FPS buffer above the playable threshold, making it the ideal setting for users with high-refresh-rate monitors. The system has enough headroom at 1080p to run the game at its maximum visual quality without sacrificing smoothness.

At 2560x1440, the Ultra preset also qualifies as the best settings, with an average of 65.8 FPS. This is a tighter margin, only 5.8 FPS above the 60 FPS threshold, but it is still playable. The High preset at 1440p produces 93 FPS, which offers more safety margin for demanding scenes, but the data shows Ultra remains viable. Users who prioritize frame rate stability over visual fidelity might prefer High, but the benchmark confirms Ultra is technically playable at 1440p.

At 3840x2160, the best settings are High, which averages 60.6 FPS. This is a razor-thin margin of just 0.6 FPS above the playable threshold. The Medium preset at 4K produces 66.9 FPS, which is actually a safer choice for maintaining consistent frame rates, but the data specifies High as the "best settings" because it is the most demanding preset that stays at or above 60 FPS. The Ultra preset at 4K is not playable, falling to 42.5 FPS, so users at this resolution must compromise with High or lower settings.

The verdict by resolution confirms these findings: 1080p and 1440p can run Ultra, while 4K is limited to High. The 4K High result is borderline, and users may want to consider Medium for a more stable experience, but the data supports High as the maximum playable preset. The 1440p Ultra result at 65.8 FPS is more robust, and 1080p Ultra at 92.6 FPS is clearly the sweet spot for this combination.

This suggests the RX 6750 XT punches slightly above its weight class, outperforming some more expensive workstation GPUs in average benchmark scores.

CPU and GPU Roles

The benchmark data reveals how the CPU and GPU share the workload in Lockdown Protocol across different resolutions. At 1920x1080, the system achieves very high frame rates, with the Low preset reaching 201.7 FPS. This high frame rate indicates that the CPU is capable of feeding the GPU enough data to maintain such performance. The Ryzen 5 7500F's strong single-thread performance, evidenced by its 3dmark_single_thread score of 974 and cinebench_r23_singlecore score of 3218, likely plays a significant role here. At 1080p, the GPU is not the bottleneck, as even the Ultra preset produces 92.6 FPS, which is well above the playable threshold.

As resolution increases to 2560x1440, the frame rates drop across all presets, indicating the GPU is starting to become more influential. The Low preset drops from 201.7 FPS to 146.6 FPS, a 27.3% reduction, while the Ultra preset drops from 92.6 FPS to 65.8 FPS, a 28.9% reduction. This consistent percentage drop across presets suggests that the GPU workload is scaling uniformly with resolution, while the CPU remains capable of keeping up. The 1440p Ultra result of 65.8 FPS shows the GPU is being pushed harder, but the CPU is not yet a limiting factor.

At 3840x2160, the GPU becomes the dominant factor. The Low preset still produces 95.5 FPS, which is surprisingly high for 4K, but the Ultra preset falls to 42.5 FPS. The massive drop from Low to Ultra at 4K, a 53 FPS difference, highlights how much the GPU struggles with the highest settings at this resolution. The CPU's role diminishes at 4K, as the frame rates are low enough that even a slower CPU could likely keep up. The data implies that at 4K, the RX 6750 XT is the clear bottleneck, and the CPU has significant headroom.

The scaling between resolutions and presets tells a clear story. The CPU is well-suited for high-refresh-rate gaming at 1080p, where it can drive frame rates above 200 FPS. At 1440p, the balance shifts slightly toward the GPU, but the CPU still provides enough performance to maintain playable frame rates at all presets. At 4K, the GPU is the limiting factor, and the CPU's performance becomes almost irrelevant. Users seeking to play at 4K should focus on GPU upgrades, while those at 1080p could benefit from a faster GPU to push even higher frame rates.

The Verdict

The data clearly answers the question: yes, this PC can run Lockdown Protocol, and it does so admirably at most settings. At 1920x1080, all four presets are playable, with Ultra delivering 92.6 FPS. This means users can enjoy the game at maximum visual quality with a comfortable margin above the 60 FPS playable threshold. The system is also well-suited for high-refresh-rate monitors at this resolution, with the Low preset hitting 201.7 FPS.

At 2560x1440, the system continues to perform well, with all presets also being playable. The Ultra preset averages 65.8 FPS, which clears the 60 FPS threshold, but the margin is slimmer than at 1080p. Users who want more headroom might prefer the High preset at 93 FPS, but the data confirms Ultra is a viable option. This makes 1440p a strong choice for this combination, offering a good balance between visual quality and performance.

At 3840x2160, the system is more limited. The High preset is the best playable option, averaging 60.6 FPS, which just barely clears the threshold. The Medium preset at 66.9 FPS offers more stability, and the Low preset at 95.5 FPS is the safest choice for maintaining high frame rates. The Ultra preset is not playable, falling to 42.5 FPS. Users at 4K will need to compromise on settings, but the game remains playable at High or lower.

The verdict by resolution is straightforward: 1080p and 1440p can run the game at Ultra, while 4K is limited to High. The 4K High result is borderline, but it is technically playable. For users who prioritize frame rate consistency, dropping to Medium at 4K would provide a more comfortable experience. Overall, this combination is well-suited for Lockdown Protocol, offering excellent performance at 1080p and 1440p, with acceptable performance at 4K when settings are adjusted.
