Performance Analysis: Lockdown Protocol on Your System
Lockdown Protocol, an FPS released on 2024-03-11, has been benchmarked with the AMD Ryzen 7 3700X and the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090. The Ryzen 7 3700X is an 8-core, 16-thread processor from the 3000 series, built on the 7 nm process with a base clock of 3.60 GHz and a boost clock of 4.40 GHz. The RTX 4090 is an Ada Lovelace GPU with 24 GB of GDDR6X memory on a 384-bit bus, offering 1.01 TB/s of bandwidth. The database's measured FPS shows this combination clears the 60 FPS playable threshold at every resolution and preset tested. At 3840x2160, the Ultra preset averages 83.1 FPS; at 2560x1440, Ultra averages 128.8 FPS; and at 1920x1080, Ultra averages 160.9 FPS. This makes the combo a strong candidate for high-refresh 1440p and smooth 4K play.
FAQ
Q: Can this PC run Lockdown Protocol at 4K with max settings?
A: Yes. At 3840x2160, the Ultra preset produces an average of 83.1 FPS, which is above the 60 FPS playable threshold. Even the lowest preset at 4K reaches 160.4 FPS, so there is no risk of dropping below playable rates.
Q: What is the best preset at 2560x1440?
A: Ultra is the best preset, averaging 128.8 FPS. All lower presets also exceed 60 FPS, but Ultra gives the highest visual quality while staying well above the threshold. The gap between Low and Ultra at 1440p is 22.0 FPS (187.2 vs 165.2 for Medium, but Ultra is 128.8), so the GPU has headroom.
Q: How does the Ryzen 7 3700X compare to its closest CPU rivals?
A: The 3700X has an average benchmark score of 34260. The AMD Ryzen AI 7 350 scores 34222 (0.1% lower), the AMD EPYC 4244P scores 34220 (0.1% lower), the Intel Core i5-13450HX scores 34333 (0.2% higher), and the Intel Core Ultra 7 165H scores 34083 (0.5% lower). These are all within 0.5% of the 3700X's aggregate performance.
Q: What is the RTX 4090's benchmark standing?
A: The RTX 4090 sits in the 88th percentile among all GPUs, with an average benchmark score of 60347. Its nearest rival, the Intel Arc Pro A60, scores 60326, a 0.0% difference. The AMD Radeon Pro Vega 48 is 0.3% lower at 60140, while the AMD Radeon Pro W6600M is 2.5% higher at 61896.
Q: How many cores and threads does the CPU have?
A: The Ryzen 7 3700X has 8 cores and 16 threads, with a base clock of 3.60 GHz and a boost clock of 4.40 GHz. It also carries a 32 MB L3 cache and supports DDR4 memory, though the exact memory speed is not part of this test.
Q: What is the combo's rank in the Lockdown Protocol database?
A: This CPU+GPU pairing ranks 535th out of 3714 tested combinations. That places it in the upper tier of systems, ahead of the vast majority of alternatives.
Similar Performance Alternatives
Based on aggregate benchmark scores, the Ryzen 7 3700X's nearest rivals are the AMD Ryzen AI 7 350 and AMD EPYC 4244P, both scoring within 0.1% of the 3700X's 34260. The Intel Core i5-13450HX is 0.2% faster at 34333, and the Intel Core Ultra 7 165H is 0.5% slower at 34083. For the RTX 4090, the Intel Arc Pro A60 has a nearly identical average score of 60326 (0.0% difference), while the AMD Radeon Pro Vega 48 is 0.3% lower (60140), the AMD Radeon Pro W6600M is 2.5% higher (61896), and the AMD Radeon PRO V710 is 2.9% lower (58657). In practical terms, these components would deliver frame rates very close to the measured values in Lockdown Protocol, though the exact FPS would depend on the specific workload and driver behavior. The CPU's 84th percentile and GPU's 88th percentile both indicate above-average performance, so any of these near-identical alternatives would likely keep the game comfortably above 60 FPS at the tested settings.
Best Settings per Resolution
The most demanding preset that stays at or above 60 FPS is Ultra at every resolution. The recorded data shows:
- 3840x2160: Ultra preset, average 83.1 FPS
- 2560x1440: Ultra preset, average 128.8 FPS
- 1920x1080: Ultra preset, average 160.9 FPS
At 4K, the Ultra preset is the highest quality setting that still clears the 60 FPS line, and it does so with a comfortable 23.1 FPS margin. At 1440p and 1080p, the Ultra preset offers even more headroom, making it possible to use the maximum visual quality without sacrificing smoothness. There is no need to drop to High or Medium unless you want to push frame rates beyond 160 FPS at 1080p.
The Verdict
Yes, this PC can run Lockdown Protocol at 60 FPS or higher across all tested resolutions and presets. The verdictByResolution data lists all four presets (Low, Medium, High, Ultra) as playable at each resolution. The best settings are Ultra at 4K (83.1 FPS), Ultra at 1440p (128.8 FPS), and Ultra at 1080p (160.9 FPS). The playable threshold is 60 FPS, and every recorded average exceeds it. This is a definitive pass. The combination of the 8-core, 16-thread Ryzen 7 3700X and the 24 GB RTX 4090 provides enough performance to run the game at maximum settings even at 4K, with enough spare capacity to handle future updates or background tasks.
CPU and GPU Roles
The scaling between resolutions reveals the GPU's dominant role at higher resolutions. At Ultra, the average FPS drops from 160.9 at 1080p to 128.8 at 1440p (a 32.1 FPS decrease) and then to 83.1 at 4K (a 45.7 FPS decrease from 1440p). This steep decline with resolution is characteristic of GPU-bound rendering. In contrast, the difference between Low and Ultra at each resolution shows the impact of graphical settings. At 1080p, Low averages 210.6 FPS and Ultra 160.9 FPS, a 49.7 FPS gap. At 4K, Low averages 160.4 FPS and Ultra 83.1 FPS, a 77.3 FPS gap. The widening gap at higher resolution indicates that the GPU is increasingly the limiting factor. The CPU, with its 8 cores and 16 threads and a boost clock of 4.40 GHz, is sufficient to keep frame rates above 200 FPS at 1080p Low, so it does not bottleneck this title. At 4K, the CPU's role is even smaller because the GPU is doing most of the heavy lifting. The CPU's 84th percentile and average score of 34260 further support that it is not a weak point in this combination. The GPU's 88th percentile and 24 GB of GDDR6X memory ensure it can handle high-resolution textures and complex shading without running out of resources.
How This Combo Ranks
Among the 3714 tested CPU-GPU combinations in the Lockdown Protocol database, this pairing ranks 535th. That places it in the top tier of tested systems, ahead of the majority of alternatives. The CPU's 84th percentile and GPU's 88th percentile align with this high ranking. The combo's average FPS at 4K Ultra (83.1) is well above the 60 FPS threshold, and at 1080p it reaches 160.9 FPS, making it a versatile choice for high-refresh monitors. The rank reflects not only the raw performance of each component but also their synergy in this specific game, where the GPU takes precedence at higher resolutions and the CPU provides enough single-thread and multi-thread throughput to avoid becoming a bottleneck. For a system built around the Ryzen 7 3700X and RTX 4090, Lockdown Protocol is not a challenging title, and the recorded scores confirm that this combo can deliver a smooth experience at any setting.
