The Medium preset delivers 169.5 FPS, the High preset reaches 148.3 FPS, and the Ultra preset maintains 113.2 FPS. The scaling from Low to Ultra shows a 52.8% reduction in frame rate, indicating that the GPU is the primary scaling factor at this resolution.

At 2560x1440, performance remains strong but shows expected reductions. The Low preset averages 175.1 FPS, which is a 27% decrease from the 1080p Low result. The Medium preset hits 123.8 FPS, High reaches 109.3 FPS, and Ultra delivers 81.6 FPS. The gap between Low and Ultra at this resolution is 53.4%, consistent with the scaling observed at 1080p.

At 3840x2160, the highest resolution tested, the system begins to show its limits. The Low preset averages 111.5 FPS, representing a 36.3% drop from the 1080p Low result. The Medium preset achieves 83.2 FPS, High reaches 69.1 FPS, and Ultra falls to 53.3 FPS. At this resolution, the Ultra preset is the only configuration that fails to maintain the 60 FPS playable threshold.

The data reveals a consistent pattern where each resolution step (1080p to 1440p, 1440p to 4K) results in approximately a 27-36% reduction in frame rates across most presets. This scaling behavior indicates that the RX 6800 XT's 16 GB of GDDR6 memory and 512.0 GB/s bandwidth are sufficient to handle the increased pixel count, with the GPU's compute throughput being the limiting factor at higher resolutions.

The Verdict

The benchmark data answers definitively whether this PC can run Lockdown Protocol: yes, with substantial capability across most configurations. The verdict by resolution confirms that the system clears the 60 FPS threshold in all but one tested scenario.

At 1920x1080, the system is fully playable across all settings. The Ultra preset averages 113.2 FPS, which is nearly double the playable threshold. The Low preset's 239.8 FPS indicates the system can drive very high refresh rate displays at lower quality settings. All four presets are listed as playable in the verdict data.

At 2560x1440, the system maintains playability across all settings as well. The Ultra preset averages 81.6 FPS, providing a solid foundation for high-quality 1440p gaming. The High preset reaches 109.3 FPS, and even the most demanding setting keeps a comfortable margin above 60 FPS. All four presets are verified as playable.

At 3840x2160, the system remains playable but requires settings compromises. The High preset averages 69.1 FPS, which is the best playable option at this resolution. The Medium preset delivers 83.2 FPS and Low reaches 111.5 FPS, both also playable. The Ultra preset, however, averages 53.3 FPS, falling below the 60 FPS threshold. The verdict data lists High, Medium, and Low as playable settings at 4K, with Ultra being the sole exception.

In summary, this PC runs Lockdown Protocol with playable frame rates at every resolution, provided the settings are chosen appropriately. Users targeting 1080p or 1440p can max out the game's settings, while 4K users should stick to High settings or lower for the best experience.

CPU and GPU Roles

The performance scaling across resolutions and presets reveals which component plays a more significant role in Lockdown Protocol. The data indicates a clear division of labor depending on the target resolution and quality setting.

At 1920x1080, the CPU's influence is most prominent. The Ryzen 7 5700's 8-core, 16-thread configuration with a boost clock of 4.60 GHz provides sufficient single-threaded performance to drive high frame rates. The 3DMark single-thread score of 901 and Cinebench R23 single-core score of 2916 indicate strong per-core performance that prevents CPU bottlenecks. The frame rates at this resolution, particularly the Low preset's 239.8 FPS, demonstrate that the CPU can feed the GPU at very high frame rates. The scaling from Low to Ultra (239.8 to 113.2 FPS) is primarily GPU-driven, but the CPU's ability to sustain these rates is critical.

At 2560x1440, the balance shifts toward the GPU. The RX 6800 XT's 4608 shading units and 20.74 TFLOPS of FP32 performance become the primary driver of frame rates. The resolution increase from 1080p to 1440p results in a 27% frame rate drop at Low settings (239.8 to 175.1 FPS), which aligns with the GPU's pixel throughput limits. The CPU still plays a role, as the 16 threads ensure smooth frame pacing, but the GPU's rendering workload dominates at this resolution.

At 3840x2160, the GPU is overwhelmingly the limiting factor. The 4K resolution requires four times the pixel processing of 1080p, and the data reflects this. The RX 6800 XT's 288.0 GPixel/s pixel rate and 648.0 GTexel/s texture rate are the key specifications determining performance here. The Ultra preset's drop to 53.3 FPS indicates the GPU's compute resources are saturated, while the CPU's utilization likely decreases as frame rates fall. This is evidenced by the relatively smaller performance gap between presets at 4K (111.5 to 53.3 FPS) compared to 1080p (239.8 to 113.2 FPS), suggesting the GPU is the bottleneck across all settings at this resolution.

The scaling behavior between resolutions and presets confirms that Lockdown Protocol is GPU-bound at higher resolutions and quality settings, while the CPU becomes more relevant at lower resolutions where frame rates exceed 150 FPS. The Ryzen 7 5700's 16 MB of L3 cache and dual-channel DDR4 memory support provide adequate data delivery to the GPU, but the RX 6800 XT's performance ceiling is the defining factor for overall gameplay smoothness.
