Lockdown Protocol

Lockdown Protocol, a 2024 FPS title, places measurable demands on the AMD Ryzen 7 3700X and AMD Radeon RX 6750 XT combo. The recorded data shows a system that can handle the game well across most settings, with specific limitations only at the highest resolution. The database places this pairing at rank 1709 out of 3714 tested combos, placing it in the top half of all configurations. This analysis focuses on the measured FPS, the system's ranking, and practical settings guidance for each resolution.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the combination delivers its highest frame rates. The data shows an average of 200 FPS at Low settings, which is more than triple the playable threshold of 60 FPS. Moving to Medium settings, the average drops to 142 FPS, with a minimum of 121 FPS and a maximum of 164 FPS. High settings produce an average of 124 FPS, while Ultra settings still manage an average of 93 FPS. The frame rates at this resolution remain well above 60 FPS across every preset, indicating a large performance headroom for high refresh rate displays.

At 2560x1440, the results show a noticeable but expected decline. Low settings average 147 FPS, which is still extremely smooth. Medium settings average 104 FPS, with the minimum recorded at 89 FPS and the maximum at 120 FPS. High settings produce an average of 91 FPS. Ultra settings average 68 FPS, which keeps the system just above the 60 FPS playable threshold. The gap between Low and Ultra at this resolution is 79 FPS, showing that the preset choice has a significant impact on performance.

At 3840x2160, the frame rates compress further. Low settings average 95 FPS, which is still very playable. Medium settings average 67 FPS, with a minimum of 57 FPS and a maximum of 77 FPS. High settings drop to an average of 59 FPS, which falls just below the playable threshold. Ultra settings average 44 FPS, which is not smooth enough for consistent gameplay. The data shows that this resolution requires careful settings selection, as only Low and Medium presets maintain an average above 60 FPS.

How This Combo Ranks

The AMD Ryzen 7 3700X and AMD Radeon RX 6750 XT combination holds rank 1709 out of 3714 tested combos in the database for Lockdown Protocol. This places the system in the upper half of all recorded configurations, meaning it outperforms a majority of tested hardware pairings. The ranking reflects the balance between the eight-core processor and the RDNA 2 graphics card when running this specific FPS title.

The CPU itself sits at the 84th percentile when compared to all processors in the database, indicating strong overall compute capability. Its average benchmark score of 34260 places it very close to several other CPUs. The AMD Ryzen AI 7 350 scores 34222, a difference of only 0.1 percent. The AMD EPYC 4244P scores 34220, also a 0.1 percent difference. The Intel Core i5-13450HX scores 34333, which is 0.2 percent higher than the 3700X. The Intel Core Ultra 7 165H scores 34083, putting it 0.5 percent lower. These very small deltas mean that swapping the Ryzen 7 3700X for any of these processors would result in nearly identical CPU-bound behavior in most games.

The GPU sits at the 71st percentile among all graphics cards. Its average benchmark score of 26011 is similarly close to its nearest rivals. The AMD Radeon R9 M395X scores 25891, a 0.5 percent difference. The AMD FirePro W7100 scores 25856, a 0.6 percent difference. The AMD FirePro D700 scores 25842, a 0.7 percent difference. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 Ti Mobile scores 25740, a 1.1 percent difference. These close scores suggest that the RX 6750 XT and these rivals should deliver comparable frame rates in Lockdown Protocol, assuming no other bottlenecks.

The Verdict

The AMD Ryzen 7 3700X and AMD Radeon RX 6750 XT can run Lockdown Protocol, but the experience depends heavily on resolution and preset. At 1920x1080, every preset clears the 60 FPS threshold. The best settings are Ultra, with an average of 93 FPS. This gives the player full visual quality while maintaining a comfortable frame rate. At 2560x1440, all four presets also clear 60 FPS. Ultra settings average 68 FPS, which is the best visual option while staying playable. At 3840x2160, the system becomes more limited. Only Low and Medium settings are playable, with Medium being the best choice at an average of 67 FPS. High settings fall just short at 59 FPS, and Ultra is not viable at 44 FPS.

The verdict by resolution is clear. For 1920x1080, the system is fully capable at the highest preset. For 2560x1440, it handles Ultra settings with a small margin above the threshold. For 3840x2160, the player must compromise on visual quality, using Medium settings to stay above 60 FPS. This makes the combo a solid choice for 1080p and 1440p gaming, with acceptable 4K performance only at reduced settings.

CPU and GPU Roles

The data shows that the balance between CPU and GPU shifts as resolution changes. At 1920x1080, the frame rates are very high, with Low settings reaching 200 FPS. This suggests that the CPU is capable of feeding the GPU enough data to sustain high frame rates at lower resolutions. The gap between Low and Ultra is 107 FPS at 1080p, indicating that the GPU load increases significantly with preset quality.

At 2560x1440, the frame rates drop across all presets compared to 1080p. Low settings fall from 200 FPS to 147 FPS, a reduction of 53 FPS. Ultra settings fall from 93 FPS to 68 FPS, a reduction of 25 FPS. This pattern indicates that the GPU is becoming more involved in the rendering process as the pixel count rises. The CPU still has enough headroom to support the higher frame rates seen at Low settings.

At 3840x2160, the GPU clearly becomes the dominant factor. Low settings drop from 147 FPS at 1440p to 95 FPS at 4K, and Ultra drops from 68 FPS to 44 FPS. The performance scaling between resolutions shows that the GPU is the primary bottleneck at 4K. The CPU's role diminishes as the frame rate becomes limited by the graphics card's rendering capacity. The recorded data supports this interpretation, as the frame rate drops in near-linear fashion with increased resolution.

Best Settings per Resolution

For 1920x1080, the most demanding preset that stays at or above 60 FPS is Ultra, with an average of 93 FPS. This is the recommended setting for players who want maximum visual quality at this resolution.

For 2560x1440, the most demanding playable preset is also Ultra, with an average of 68 FPS. This provides a full visual experience while maintaining a frame rate above the playable threshold.

For 3840x2160, the most demanding playable preset is Medium, with an average of 67 FPS. The minimum FPS at this setting is 57, which means occasional dips below 60 FPS are possible, but the average remains solid. High settings average 59 FPS, which is too close to the threshold for consistent smoothness, and Ultra is not playable.

Similar Performance Alternatives

The nearest rivals to the AMD Ryzen 7 3700X in the database are the AMD Ryzen AI 7 350, AMD EPYC 4244P, Intel Core i5-13450HX, and Intel Core Ultra 7 165H. All four processors have average benchmark scores within 0.5 percent of the 3700X. The AMD Ryzen AI 7 350 scores 34222, the AMD EPYC 4244P scores 34220, the Intel Core i5-13450HX scores 34333, and the Intel Core Ultra 7 165H scores 34083. Swapping the 3700X for any of these would produce nearly identical CPU performance in Lockdown Protocol, assuming the GPU remains the same.

The nearest rivals to the AMD Radeon RX 6750 XT are the AMD Radeon R9 M395X, AMD FirePro W7100, AMD FirePro D700, and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 Ti Mobile. Their average benchmark scores range from 25740 to 25891, with deltas between 0.5 and 1.1 percent compared to the RX 6750 XT. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 Ti Mobile, despite being a mobile part, scores within 1.1 percent of the desktop RX 6750 XT. This suggests that these GPUs would deliver very similar frame rates in Lockdown Protocol, though the exact results would depend on other system components.

For a user considering an upgrade or a similar build, the data shows that the Ryzen 7 3700X and RX 6750 XT are well matched for this game. The CPU sits near several modern and server-class alternatives, while the GPU is close to a range of other cards. The overall combo rank of 1709 out of 3714 confirms that this pairing is competitive for Lockdown Protocol, particularly at 1080p and 1440p resolutions where it can run the highest presets comfortably.
