CPU and GPU Roles

The measured FPS data reveals a clear pattern in how the CPU and GPU share the workload in Lockdown Protocol. At 1920x1080 with Low settings, the system produces an average of 303 FPS, a figure that highlights the CPU's ability to feed the GPU at lower pixel counts. As resolution increases, the frame rate drops proportionally: at 2560x1440 Low, the average falls to 222.6 FPS, and at 3840x2160 Low, it drops to 143.5 FPS. The percentage decline from 1080p to 1440p is approximately 26.5% (303 to 222.6), while the decline from 1440p to 4K is approximately 35.5% (222.6 to 143.5). This scaling suggests that the GPU becomes the primary bottleneck as resolution climbs, since the pixel workload grows faster than the CPU's instruction throughput.

At lower resolutions, the CPU's headroom is more evident. The Ryzen 5 7600 achieves a 3dmark single-thread score of 999 and a passmark single-thread score of 3910, both of which indicate strong per-core performance. This allows the system to maintain very high frame rates at 1080p, where the GPU is less stressed. The gap between Low and Ultra presets at each resolution further illustrates this dynamic. At 1080p, the difference between Low (303 FPS) and Ultra (145.7 FPS) is 157.3 FPS, showing that the CPU can still push high frame rates even when the GPU is loaded with more graphical work. At 4K, the same gap narrows to 77.3 FPS (143.5 Low vs 66.2 Ultra), indicating that the GPU's rendering capacity is the limiting factor at that resolution.

The percentile rankings reinforce this interpretation. The GPU holds a percentile of 84 versus all GPUs, while the CPU holds a percentile of 78 versus all CPUs. The GPU is slightly stronger relative to its peers, which aligns with the observation that resolution scaling has a larger impact on frame rates than preset changes at higher pixel counts. For players targeting 1080p or 1440p, the CPU provides ample headroom, but at 4K, the RTX 4070 Ti's raw throughput—evidenced by its 40.09 TFLOPS FP32 performance—determines the ceiling. The data indicates that neither component is severely underpowered for this game, but the GPU is the more decisive factor at higher resolutions.

Best Settings per Resolution

For each resolution, the most demanding preset that remains at or above 60 FPS is Ultra. At 3840x2160, the Ultra preset averages 66.2 FPS, which is the lowest average among all playable settings but still clears the threshold by 6.2 FPS. At 2560x1440, Ultra delivers an average of 104.2 FPS, providing a comfortable margin above 60 FPS. At 1920x1080, Ultra achieves an average of 145.7 FPS, which is more than double the playable threshold. In all three cases, the system can run the highest visual quality preset without dropping below the 60 FPS target. Lower presets such as High, Medium, and Low also remain playable, but Ultra offers the best visual fidelity while maintaining playability.

The Verdict

Yes, this PC can run Lockdown Protocol. The verdictByResolution data lists all four settings (Low, Medium, High, Ultra) as playable at every resolution, with the best settings being Ultra in each case. At 3840x2160, the average FPS at Ultra is 66.2, which is above the 60 FPS playable threshold. At 2560x1440, the average FPS at Ultra is 104.2, and at 1920x1080, it is 145.7. Since the playable threshold is 60 FPS, the system clears it with substantial headroom at 1440p and 1080p, and with a smaller but still sufficient margin at 4K. Players can confidently use the Ultra preset at any resolution without compromising the 60 FPS target.

Similar Performance Alternatives

The nearestRivals data for the CPU and GPU provide a clear picture of which other components would behave similarly in Lockdown Protocol. For the CPU, the AMD Ryzen 9 6900HX has an average benchmark score of 26274, a delta of 0.2% from the Ryzen 5 7600's 26324. The AMD Ryzen 7 7435HS scores 26402, a delta of -0.3%, and the Intel Core i9-11900KF scores 26212, a delta of 0.4%. The AMD Ryzen 5 8540U scores 26187, a delta of 0.5%. All four rivals fall within 0.5% of the 7600's average score, meaning systems built with any of these CPUs would produce nearly identical frame rates in this game, assuming the same GPU.

For the GPU, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 Mobile has an average score of 45152, a delta of -0.8% from the RTX 4070 Ti's 44795. The AMD Radeon Pro 5500 XT scores 45384, a delta of -1.3%, and the NVIDIA RTX A6000 scores 44075, a delta of 1.6%. The Intel Arc A730M scores 45592, a delta of -1.7%. These deltas are all within 1.7%, so a system with any of these GPUs paired with the Ryzen 5 7600 would deliver comparable performance in Lockdown Protocol. Notably, the RTX A6000 is the only rival with a positive delta (1.6%), indicating it is slightly slower than the 4070 Ti in synthetic benchmarks, while the others are marginally faster.

How This Combo Ranks

The combination of the Ryzen 5 7600 and RTX 4070 Ti ranks 426th out of 3714 tested combos in Lockdown Protocol. This places it in the top 11.5% of all tested configurations, a strong showing that reflects the balance between the two components. The CPU's percentile of 78 and the GPU's percentile of 84 both contribute to this high rank. The GPU's higher percentile suggests that the system's overall standing is driven more by the graphics card than the processor, but the CPU's strong single-thread performance ensures that it does not hold the GPU back at lower resolutions. For context, a rank of 426 out of 3714 means the system outperforms roughly 88.5% of all tested combos, making it a top-tier setup for this game.

| 1920x1080 | Ultra | 145.7 |

Across all twelve data points, the lowest average FPS recorded is 66.2 at 4K Ultra, which still exceeds the 60 FPS threshold. The highest average is 303 at 1080p Low, demonstrating the system's ability to reach very high frame rates when the GPU load is low. The data shows a consistent trend: as resolution increases, frame rates decline, and as preset quality increases, frame rates also decline. The combination maintains playability in every scenario, with the smallest margin at 4K Ultra and the largest margin at 1080p Low.
