Best Settings per Resolution

At 3840x2160, the most demanding preset that stays at or above 60 FPS is Ultra, which produces an average of 68.8 FPS. This is the highest visual quality option available, and the system still maintains a comfortable margin above the 60 FPS threshold. The frame rate headroom is modest but sufficient, with High settings offering 93.4 FPS for those who prefer higher refresh rates over maximum fidelity.

Moving to 2560x1440, the Ultra preset again provides the best balance, delivering 109.1 FPS on average. This represents a significant jump from 4K, with nearly 40 more frames per second at the same quality level. The data shows that High settings reach 144.1 FPS, Medium hits 167 FPS, and Low tops out at 237.1 FPS, but Ultra remains the recommended choice since it clears 60 FPS with 49 frames to spare.

At 1920x1080, the Ultra preset runs at 151.8 FPS, which is the optimal setting for this resolution. The performance scaling from 1440p to 1080p adds roughly 42.7 FPS at Ultra quality. Lower presets push even higher, with High at 199.5 FPS, Medium at 227 FPS, and Low at 321 FPS, but none of these are necessary given that Ultra already provides a buttery-smooth experience well beyond standard 60 Hz displays.

CPU and GPU Roles

The benchmark data reveals a clear pattern in how the CPU and GPU contribute to performance across resolutions. At 3840x2160, the GPU is the dominant factor, as evidenced by the frame rate drop when moving from Low to Ultra settings: 154 FPS at Low falls to 68.8 FPS at Ultra, a reduction of 85.2 FPS. This steep decline indicates that the RTX 5070 Ti is working near its limits at 4K with maximum quality settings.

At 2560x1440, the balance shifts slightly. The spread between Low (237.1 FPS) and Ultra (109.1 FPS) is 128 FPS, showing that the GPU still carries most of the load but the CPU begins to contribute more meaningfully. The Ryzen 5 7600X, with its 6 cores and 12 threads based on Zen 4 architecture, provides enough single-thread performance to keep the frame pipeline fed at these higher rates.

The 1920x1080 results demonstrate the CPU’s growing importance at lower resolutions. The gap between Low (321 FPS) and Ultra (151.8 FPS) widens to 169.2 FPS, and the absolute frame rates approach the limits of what the CPU can generate. The 7600X’s 3DMark single-thread score of 1060 and Cinebench R23 single-core score of 1965 indicate strong per-core performance, which becomes the limiting factor at 1080p where the GPU has more headroom.

Resolution scaling further illustrates this dynamic. When moving from 1440p to 1080p at Ultra settings, the frame rate increases from 109.1 to 151.8 FPS, a 42.7 FPS gain. However, at Low settings, the same resolution change yields a smaller relative improvement: from 237.1 to 321 FPS, a 83.9 FPS gain. This larger absolute increase at lower quality settings suggests that the CPU can push more frames when the GPU is less burdened, but the overall system bottleneck at 1080p Low is the CPU’s thread scheduling and memory bandwidth rather than raw compute.

The CPU’s memory bandwidth of 83.2 GB/s over dual-channel DDR5 and its 32 MB shared L3 cache help sustain high frame rates in fast-paced FPS scenarios. The GPU’s 16 GB of GDDR7 memory with 896.0 GB/s bandwidth ensures that texture streaming and geometry processing at 4K Ultra do not cause stutters, as evidenced by the stable 68.8 FPS average.

The Verdict

This PC can absolutely run Lockdown Protocol, and it does so with exceptional headroom at every resolution. The verdict by resolution is unambiguous: all four tested settings presets at all three resolutions clear the 60 FPS playable threshold. At 3840x2160, the Ultra preset achieves 68.8 FPS, which is playable but leaves only 8.8 FPS of margin above the threshold. For gamers who want more stability at 4K, the High preset at 93.4 FPS or Medium at 104.9 FPS offer safer buffers.

At 2560x1440, the system delivers 109.1 FPS at Ultra, making it ideal for high-refresh-rate monitors up to 100 Hz. The 1440p Ultra experience is markedly better than 4K Ultra, with 40.3 more frames per second, and it remains the sweet spot for this combination if visual fidelity is the priority. The 1080p results are extraordinary, with 151.8 FPS at Ultra and 321 FPS at Low, meaning this setup can drive 144 Hz and even 240 Hz displays without breaking a sweat.

The Ryzen 5 7600X’s 79th percentile CPU ranking and the RTX 5070 Ti’s 86th percentile GPU ranking combine to place this system in the 311th position out of 3714 tested combos for Lockdown Protocol. This top-8.4% finish reflects not just raw component strength but also their effective cooperation in this specific game engine. The data confirms that this is a high-end configuration that will not struggle with Lockdown Protocol under any settings combination.
