Lockdown Protocol

Measured FPS Breakdown

The recorded data for Lockdown Protocol with the AMD Ryzen 7 3700X paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 shows a strong performance profile across all three tested resolutions. The measurements were taken at four quality presets: Low, Medium, High, and Ultra. The database records only average frame rates; minimum and maximum frame data are not available for this configuration.

At 1920x1080, the lowest resolution tested, the frame rates are uniformly high. The Low preset delivers an average of 208.6 FPS, which is the highest recorded value across the entire dataset. Moving up through the presets, Medium achieves 182.1 FPS, High reaches 171.9 FPS, and the Ultra preset still maintains a very strong 132.6 FPS average. The scaling from Low to Ultra at this resolution represents a drop of 76 FPS, indicating that the Ultra preset is approximately 36% less demanding in terms of average frame delivery compared to Low, though it remains far above any playability concern.

At 2560x1440, the performance remains elevated but begins to show the expected impact of additional pixel workload. The Low preset averages 186.8 FPS, which is a reduction of about 21.8 FPS compared to the same preset at 1080p. Medium follows at 148.7 FPS, High at 128.7 FPS, and Ultra at 96.9 FPS. The gap between Low and Ultra at this resolution widens to 89.9 FPS, a larger absolute difference than at 1080p. The relative scaling shows Ultra delivering roughly 52% of the Low preset's frame rate, confirming that higher settings impose a more significant cost as resolution increases.

At 3840x2160, the highest resolution tested, the frame rates remain comfortably playable but show the most pronounced preset sensitivity. The Low preset averages 132.9 FPS, which is still a very high value for 4K gaming. Medium drops to 96.1 FPS, High to 84.1 FPS, and the Ultra preset falls to 61.0 FPS exactly. The difference between Low and Ultra at 4K is 71.9 FPS, and Ultra delivers only about 46% of the Low preset's average frame rate. This pattern indicates that the Ultra preset at 4K is the most demanding configuration tested, yet it still clears the playability threshold with a narrow margin.

Across all resolutions, the data consistently shows that the RTX 5070 paired with the Ryzen 7 3700X maintains high average frame rates. The largest single drop occurs when moving from Medium to Ultra at 4K, where the average falls from 96.1 FPS to 61.0 FPS, a reduction of 35.1 FPS. Conversely, the smallest preset-to-preset gap is observed at 1080p between Medium and High, where the difference is only 10.2 FPS. These measurements suggest that the combination scales predictably with both resolution and quality settings, with no anomalous spikes or collapses in the recorded data.

Best Settings per Resolution

The database identifies the most demanding preset that remains at or above 60 FPS for each resolution. The playable threshold is defined as 60 FPS, and all four presets at all three resolutions exceed this level.

At 3840x2160, the best settings are Ultra, with an average frame rate of 61.0 FPS. This is the only configuration in the dataset where the average sits so close to the playability boundary. The Ultra preset at 4K is therefore playable, but the margin is slim, and any additional background load or transient scene complexity could push the average below 60 FPS. The other presets at this resolution, High at 84.1 FPS, Medium at 96.1 FPS, and Low at 132.9 FPS, all provide substantially larger headroom.

At 2560x1440, the best settings are also Ultra, delivering an average of 96.9 FPS. This is a comfortable margin above the 60 FPS threshold, more than 60% higher than the minimum playable level. The data shows that at 1440p, even the most demanding preset leaves ample performance in reserve.

At 1920x1080, the best settings are Ultra once again, with an average of 132.6 FPS. This result is more than double the playability threshold, indicating that the combination has significant performance headroom at the lowest resolution tested. Across all three resolutions, Ultra is always the recommended preset, and the average frame rates at 1440p and 1080p are high enough that users could consider additional rendering features or higher refresh rate displays without concern.

Similar Performance Alternatives

The database provides nearest rival comparisons for both the CPU and GPU, based on average benchmark scores. These rivals help contextualize how other hardware would behave in similar fashion with this game.

For the AMD Ryzen 7 3700X, the nearest rivals are all within a very narrow performance band. The AMD Ryzen AI 7 350 has an average score of 34222, which is 0.1% higher than the 3700X's average of 34260. The AMD EPYC 4244P scores 34220, also 0.1% higher. The Intel Core i5-13450HX scores 34333, which is 0.2% lower than the 3700X. The Intel Core Ultra 7 165H scores 34083, 0.5% higher. These delta percentages are all within half a percent, meaning that in CPU-bound scenarios, swapping the 3700X for any of these four alternatives would produce nearly identical frame rates. The data suggests the 3700X is well matched to this class of mobile and desktop processors.

For the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070, the nearest rivals are also tightly clustered. The AMD Radeon Pro 580 scores 40318, which is 0.1% above the RTX 5070's average of 40377. The AMD Radeon Pro WX 7100 scores 40063, 0.8% lower. The AMD Radeon Pro 5300 scores 40870, which is 1.2% higher than the RTX 5070. The NVIDIA RTX A500 Mobile scores 39568, 2.0% lower. The widest gap among these rivals is the 2.0% difference seen with the RTX A500 Mobile, which means that even the most divergent alternative would produce a very similar gaming experience in GPU-bound scenarios. The RTX 5070 sits in the middle of this small performance cluster, so users moving from any of these GPUs would notice little practical difference in Lockdown Protocol frame rates.

The combination of these two components, both placed near the center of their respective rival groups, suggests that the overall system performance is representative of a broad mid-to-high range hardware tier. No single rival would push the game significantly faster or slower based on the recorded scores.

The Verdict

The recorded data answers the question directly: yes, this PC can run Lockdown Protocol at all tested resolutions and all tested presets. The verdict by resolution confirms that every configuration exceeds the 60 FPS playability threshold.

At 3840x2160, the playable settings include High, Low, Medium, and Ultra. The best settings are Ultra at 61.0 FPS. The system clears 60 FPS at 4K with the highest quality preset, but the margin is just 1 FPS. This is a playable result, though it leaves no room for fluctuation. At 2560x1440, all four presets are playable, and Ultra averages 96.9 FPS, providing a strong margin. At 1920x1080, all presets are playable, and Ultra averages 132.6 FPS, offering exceptional headroom.

The clear conclusion is that this combination is fully capable of running Lockdown Protocol at high frame rates across the board. The only configuration that approaches the playability limit is 4K Ultra, but it still passes. Users targeting 1440p or 1080p can run the game at maximum settings with frame rates well above 60 FPS, making this a suitable setup for high refresh rate monitors.

CPU and GPU Roles

The data reveals how the CPU and GPU contribute to performance at each resolution. The frame rates scale with resolution in a way that indicates the GPU becomes more dominant as pixel count increases, while the CPU's role is more visible at lower resolutions.

At 1920x1080, the frame rates are extremely high, ranging from 208.6 FPS at Low to 132.6 FPS at Ultra. These high averages suggest that neither component is a bottleneck at this resolution, but the relatively small preset-to-preset gaps, such as the 10.2 FPS difference between Medium and High, indicate that the CPU is keeping up with the GPU's output. If the CPU were limiting, the frame rates would cluster more tightly across presets, which they do not.

At 2560x1440, the frame rates drop consistently across all presets, with Low at 186.8 FPS and Ultra at 96.9 FPS. The larger gaps between presets at this resolution, compared to 1080p, show that the GPU is beginning to handle a heavier workload. The CPU still has enough headroom to feed the GPU, as the frame rates remain well above 60 FPS.

At 3840x2160, the GPU's role becomes most evident. The Low preset averages 132.9 FPS, but Ultra falls to 61.0 FPS, a drop of 71.9 FPS. This steep scaling is a classic sign of GPU-bound performance, where the rendering load at 4K overwhelms the graphics card. The CPU's contribution is less visible here, as the frame rates are dictated by the GPU's ability to process pixels, not by the processor's instruction throughput.

The scaling between resolutions reinforces this interpretation. Moving from 1080p to 1440p, the Ultra preset drops from 132.6 FPS to 96.9 FPS, a reduction of 35.7 FPS. Moving from 1440p to 4K, the same preset drops from 96.9 FPS to 61.0 FPS, a reduction of 35.9 FPS. These nearly identical absolute drops suggest a linear relationship with pixel count, which is typical of GPU-bound scenarios. The CPU, with its 8 cores and 16 threads, provides sufficient compute capacity to avoid becoming the limiting factor at any tested setting.

How This Combo Ranks

The database places this combination at rank 794 out of 3714 tested combos for Lockdown Protocol. This ranking means the Ryzen 7 3700X and RTX 5070 together outperform roughly 79% of all tested system configurations, placing them in the upper quintile of the database.

The rank reflects the combined capabilities of both components. The CPU's percentile versus all CPUs is 84, meaning it outperforms 84% of processors in the database. The GPU's percentile versus all GPUs is 82, showing it also sits above the vast majority of graphics cards. With both components ranking in the low-to-mid 80th percentile, the overall combo rank of 794 out of 3714 is consistent with what the individual scores would predict.

In practical terms, this rank indicates that the system is well above the median for running Lockdown Protocol. The frame rates recorded at 1080p and 1440p are high enough to satisfy demanding users, and even the 4K Ultra result, though close to 60 FPS, is better than what most tested combinations would achieve. The combo rank does not suggest any weakness in this pairing; rather, it confirms that the 3700X and RTX 5070 work together effectively for this title.
