Lockdown Protocol

The AMD Ryzen 5 7600 and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti combination ranks 360th out of 3,714 tested combos for Lockdown Protocol, placing it in the top 10% of all configurations. With a CPU percentile of 78 and a GPU percentile of 86, this pairing sits comfortably above the median, though the data shows the graphics card carries the heavier load in this FPS title. The combo's standing is strong enough that it clears the 60 FPS playable threshold at every resolution and preset combination measured, from 1080p Low to 4K Ultra.

How This Combo Ranks

The rank of 360 out of 3,714 combos means this system outperforms roughly 90% of all tested configurations in Lockdown Protocol. That places it in the upper echelon of gaming PCs, though not at the very top. The GPU's 86th percentile ranking among all graphics cards is the primary driver of this strong position; the CPU's 78th percentile is respectable but secondary. Benchmark data shows the RTX 5070 Ti delivers an average benchmark score of 49,957, while the Ryzen 5 7600 posts 26,324.

Looking at the nearest rivals, the GPU sits just 0.1% behind the AMD Radeon RX Vega 64 (50,001) and 0.4% ahead of the Intel Arc A550M (49,737). It trails the AMD Radeon RX 6900 XT (50,951) by 2% and leads the AMD Radeon RX 6800 XT (48,477) by 3.1%. These margins are tight, suggesting the RTX 5070 Ti is competitively positioned within its immediate performance class. On the CPU side, the Ryzen 5 7600 is 0.2% ahead of the AMD Ryzen 9 6900HX (26,274), 0.3% behind the AMD Ryzen 7 7435HS (26,402), 0.4% ahead of the Intel Core i9-11900KF (26,212), and 0.5% ahead of the AMD Ryzen 5 8540U (26,187). The delta percentages are all within a single point, meaning the processor's closest competitors are effectively interchangeable in synthetic workloads.

For Lockdown Protocol specifically, the combo's performance is defined by GPU headroom. At 4K Ultra, the system still produces 69 FPS average, which is 9 FPS above the 60 FPS threshold. The combination of a top-tier GPU with a solid mid-range CPU creates a balanced platform where neither component becomes a consistent bottleneck across the tested scenarios.

FAQ

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

A: Yes. At 3840x2160 with Ultra settings, the combo achieves an average of 69 FPS, exceeding the 60 FPS playable threshold. The data also shows 4K High runs at 92 FPS and 4K Medium at 105 FPS.

Q: What is the highest average FPS this combo can achieve?

A: The highest measured average is 307 FPS at 1920x1080 with Low settings. At 1440p Low, it reaches 230 FPS, and at 4K Low, 148 FPS.

Q: How much performance drops when moving from 1080p to 4K?

A: At Ultra settings, the average FPS falls from 146 at 1080p to 107 at 1440p, then to 69 at 4K. That represents a 53% reduction from 1080p to 4K on Ultra preset.

Q: Is the CPU or GPU more important for this game?

A: The GPU is the dominant factor. The RTX 5070 Ti's 86th percentile ranking versus the CPU's 78th percentile, combined with the dramatic FPS scaling across resolutions, indicates the graphics card governs performance. At 4K Ultra, the system drops to 69 FPS, while at 1080p Low it reaches 307 FPS, a pattern typical of GPU-bound workloads.

Q: Are there any settings where this combo drops below 60 FPS?

A: No. Every resolution and preset combination measured — 4K Ultra, 4K High, 4K Medium, 4K Low, 1440p Ultra, 1440p High, 1440p Medium, 1440p Low, 1080p Ultra, 1080p High, 1080p Medium, and 1080p Low — stays at or above 69 FPS average.

Q: How does the RTX 5070 Ti compare to its closest GPU rival?

A: The RTX 5070 Ti's average benchmark score of 49,957 is 0.1% behind the AMD Radeon RX Vega 64 (50,001) and 2% behind the AMD Radeon RX 6900 XT (50,951). It leads the Intel Arc A550M (49,737) by 0.4% and the AMD Radeon RX 6800 XT (48,477) by 3.1%.

CPU and GPU Roles

The benchmark data reveals a clear GPU-bound workload in Lockdown Protocol. At 1080p Low, the system produces 307 FPS average, but this drops to 230 FPS at 1440p Low and 148 FPS at 4K Low. The scaling from 1080p to 4K at Low settings shows a 52% performance reduction, which is entirely attributable to the graphics card's fill rate and memory bandwidth limits. The RTX 5070 Ti's 896.0 GB/s memory bandwidth and 235.4 GPixel/s pixel rate are the constraining factors here.

At Ultra settings, the pattern intensifies. The system delivers 146 FPS at 1080p, 107 FPS at 1440p, and 69 FPS at 4K. The resolution scaling from 1080p to 1440p costs 27% performance, and from 1440p to 4K costs another 36%. These steep drops indicate the GPU is working at full capacity, especially at 4K where the 16 GB GDDR7 memory buffer and 256-bit bus are heavily utilized. The CPU's role becomes less significant as resolution increases; at 1080p Low, the Ryzen 5 7600's 12 threads and 5.10 GHz boost clock are sufficient to feed the GPU, but the 307 FPS ceiling suggests the CPU is near its practical limit for generating frames.

The CPU's 3DMark scores — 999 single-thread and 6,503 max-threads — show it can handle the game's logic and physics without bottlenecking, but the GPU's 43.94 TFLOPS FP32 compute is what drives the frame rate. Between presets, the gap from Low to Ultra at the same resolution is substantial: at 1080p, 307 FPS versus 146 FPS (a 52% drop); at 1440p, 230 FPS versus 107 FPS (a 53% drop); at 4K, 148 FPS versus 69 FPS (a 53% drop). The consistent ~53% reduction across all resolutions when moving from Low to Ultra confirms the GPU handles the visual effects load uniformly, while the CPU maintains a steady baseline.

The Verdict

This PC can absolutely run Lockdown Protocol. The data shows every single resolution and preset combination tested clears the 60 FPS playable threshold. At 3840x2160, the worst-case scenario is Ultra settings at 69 FPS average, which is 9 FPS above the threshold. The verdict data confirms all four settings at 4K — High, Low, Medium, and Ultra — are playable, with Ultra being the best setting at 69 FPS.

At 2560x1440, the system delivers 107 FPS average on Ultra, providing a comfortable margin above 60 FPS. At 1920x1080, Ultra runs at 146 FPS average, which is more than double the playable threshold. The RTX 5070 Ti's 86th percentile ranking and the combo's 360th place out of 3,714 tested configurations give this pairing substantial headroom for future game updates or more demanding titles. Even at 4K Ultra, the average FPS of 69 means the system never dips into unplayable territory, though the minimum recorded FPS of 90 at 4K Medium suggests frame pacing remains consistent under load.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The measured data covers three resolutions and four presets, with average FPS recorded for all twelve combinations. Minimum and maximum FPS values are only available for the Medium preset at each resolution.

At 3840x2160, the results are: Low averages 148 FPS, Medium averages 105 FPS with a minimum of 90 and maximum of 121, High averages 92 FPS, and Ultra averages 69 FPS. The spread from Low to Ultra is 79 FPS, with the Medium preset showing a 31 FPS range between its minimum and maximum.

At 2560x1440, Low averages 230 FPS, Medium averages 163 FPS with a minimum of 139 and maximum of 188, High averages 142 FPS, and Ultra averages 107 FPS. The Medium preset's range of 49 FPS is the widest recorded across all resolutions, indicating more frame variability at this resolution.

At 1920x1080, the system reaches its peak: Low averages 307 FPS, Medium averages 223 FPS with a minimum of 189 and maximum of 256, High averages 194 FPS, and Ultra averages 146 FPS. The Medium preset shows a 67 FPS range, which is the largest minimum-to-maximum spread in the entire dataset. The average FPS figures decline predictably with each preset step, but the system never approaches the 60 FPS floor at any resolution.

Best Settings per Resolution

At 3840x2160, the most demanding preset that stays at or above 60 FPS is Ultra, which averages 69 FPS. This is the highest quality setting available and still maintains a 9 FPS buffer above the playable threshold. Players seeking maximum visual fidelity at 4K can run Ultra without concern.

At 2560x1440, Ultra is also the best setting, averaging 107 FPS. This provides a 47 FPS margin above 60 FPS, offering both high quality and substantial performance headroom. The jump from 4K Ultra's 69 FPS to 1440p Ultra's 107 FPS shows the resolution reduction pays significant dividends.

At 1920x1080, Ultra averages 146 FPS, which is 86 FPS above the threshold. This is the optimal configuration for competitive play, combining maximum settings with a frame rate that exceeds 144 Hz displays. Across all resolutions, the system can run the game at its highest preset while maintaining playable performance, with the 4K Ultra result being the only scenario where the margin narrows to single digits.
