Lockdown Protocol

The AMD Ryzen 7 5700 paired with the AMD Radeon RX 6750 XT delivers a wide range of frame rates in Lockdown Protocol, scaling predictably with resolution and preset. Across the measured configurations, the combo shows clear headroom at 1080p and 1440p, while 4K requires a drop to Medium settings to maintain smooth gameplay. The following sections break down the exact measured data, optimal settings, and how this pairing stacks up against other tested hardware.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 3840x2160, the frame rate drops sharply as visual fidelity increases. The Low preset averages 95 FPS, which is the highest result at this resolution. Medium settings produce an average of 67 FPS, with a minimum of 57 FPS and a maximum of 77 FPS, showing some fluctuation near the playability threshold. High settings average 59 FPS, just one frame below the 60 FPS line. Ultra is the most demanding, averaging only 44 FPS, which is far from smooth for an FPS title.

Moving to 2560x1440, performance improves substantially. Low settings reach an average of 147 FPS, while Medium hits 104 FPS with a minimum of 89 and a maximum of 120. High follows closely at 91 FPS average. Ultra still manages a solid 68 FPS average, making it viable for high-refresh monitors. The gap between Low and Ultra is 79 FPS, indicating that the GPU has enough headroom at this resolution to absorb the extra load without falling below 60 FPS.

At 1920x1080, the combo excels. Low settings produce an average of 200 FPS, which is the highest measured score in the entire dataset. Medium averages 142 FPS, with a minimum of 121 and a maximum of 164. High settles at 124 FPS average, while Ultra drops to 93 FPS. Even the most demanding preset at 1080p stays well above the 60 FPS threshold, leaving significant room for high refresh rate displays.

The pattern across all three resolutions is consistent: Low presets offer the highest averages, Medium provides a balanced experience with recorded minimums, High and Ultra reduce frame rates but remain playable at 1440p and 1080p. At 4K, only Low and Medium keep the average above 60 FPS, with Medium being the most demanding playable option.

Best Settings per Resolution

For 3840x2160, the best setting that stays at or above 60 FPS is Medium. The measured average at Medium is 67 FPS, with a minimum of 57 FPS and a maximum of 77 FPS. While the minimum dips below 60, the average comfortably clears the threshold. Low also averages 95 FPS, but Medium offers a better visual quality while still maintaining a playable average.

At 2560x1440, the best settings is Ultra, which averages 68 FPS. This is the highest preset tested at this resolution, and it stays above the 60 FPS line. High averages 91 FPS, Medium 104 FPS, and Low 147 FPS, but Ultra provides the maximum visual fidelity without sacrificing playability. The 68 FPS average means users can enable all visual features while keeping the experience fluid.

For 1920x1080, Ultra is also the best settings, averaging 93 FPS. This is the most demanding preset available, and the combo handles it with ease. The 93 FPS average leaves substantial headroom above the 60 FPS threshold, making this resolution the sweet spot for the hardware. Lower presets like High (124 FPS) and Medium (142 FPS) are also viable for even higher refresh rates, but Ultra offers the best balance of image quality and performance.

CPU and GPU Roles

The data reveals a clear shift in bottleneck behavior as resolution changes. At 1920x1080, the CPU plays a more significant role, as the GPU is capable of delivering 200 FPS on Low settings. The gap between Low (200 FPS) and Ultra (93 FPS) at 1080p is 107 FPS, indicating that the GPU is the limiting factor when settings increase. However, the high frame rates suggest the Ryzen 7 5700 can feed the RX 6750 XT sufficiently at this resolution, since even the lowest preset exceeds 200 FPS.

At 2560x1440, the gap between Low (147 FPS) and Ultra (68 FPS) narrows to 79 FPS. This reduction indicates that the GPU's workload increases with resolution, while the CPU's contribution becomes less dominant. The fact that Ultra still averages 68 FPS shows that the GPU has enough raw power to handle 1440p, but the CPU is no longer the primary constraint. The scaling from 1080p Low to 1440p Low shows a 53 FPS drop, which is primarily due to the increased pixel count.

At 3840x2160, the GPU becomes the clear bottleneck. Low settings average 95 FPS, while Medium drops to 67 FPS and High to 59 FPS. The gap between Low and Ultra is 51 FPS, which is smaller than the 107 FPS gap at 1080p. This compression suggests that the GPU is struggling to maintain high frame rates as the pixel count increases, regardless of CPU capabilities. The CPU's 8 cores and 16 threads are sufficient to avoid becoming a major constraint at 4K, as evidenced by the fact that even Low settings cannot push past 95 FPS.

The scaling between resolutions and presets confirms that the RX 6750 XT is the dominant component for this game. At 1080p, the CPU can push frame rates high enough that the GPU becomes the limiting factor at higher presets. At 1440p, the balance shifts slightly toward the GPU, but both components still contribute. At 4K, the GPU is overwhelmingly the constraint, with the CPU having minimal impact on the final frame rate.

The Verdict

This PC can run Lockdown Protocol, but the playable range depends heavily on resolution. At 3840x2160, the verdict is mixed: Low and Medium settings are playable, with Medium being the best option at 67 FPS average. High falls just short at 59 FPS, and Ultra is not viable at 44 FPS. For 4K users, sticking to Medium is the recommended path.

At 2560x1440, the combo is fully capable. All four presets — Low, Medium, High, and Ultra — stay at or above 60 FPS. Ultra averages 68 FPS, making it the best settings for this resolution. This means users can enjoy maximum visual quality without any frame rate concerns.

At 1920x1080, the verdict is unequivocal: all presets clear 60 FPS, with Ultra averaging 93 FPS. This is the ideal resolution for this hardware, offering both high fidelity and high frame rates. The 93 FPS average on Ultra also leaves room for future demanding content or higher refresh rate monitors.

Overall, the Ryzen 7 5700 and RX 6750 XT combination is a strong match for Lockdown Protocol, with 1080p and 1440p being fully playable at maximum settings. 4K users will need to compromise with Medium settings to stay above the 60 FPS threshold.

How This Combo Ranks

The AMD Ryzen 7 5700 + AMD Radeon RX 6750 XT combination ranks 1709 out of 3714 tested combos in Lockdown Protocol. This places it in the upper 46% of all configurations tested, indicating a solid mid-tier performance level. The rank reflects the fact that the combo can handle 1080p and 1440p at maximum settings, but struggles at 4K, which limits its position compared to higher-end pairings.

Given that the GPU is at the 71st percentile and the CPU is at the 78th percentile, the overall ranking is consistent with the individual component strengths. The combo's performance is strong enough for mainstream gaming, but it does not challenge high-end systems that would rank significantly higher. The 1709 position out of 3714 means there are roughly 2000 combinations that perform better, likely featuring more powerful GPUs or newer CPUs.

The measured data confirms that this pairing is a balanced mid-range option, offering excellent 1080p performance, good 1440p performance, and limited 4K capability. For users prioritizing high frame rates at 1080p or 1440p, this combo delivers well. For 4K gaming, it falls short of ideal, which is reflected in its middle-of-the-pack ranking.
