Lockdown Protocol

How This Combo Ranks

The AMD Ryzen 7 5700 paired with the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1070 lands at rank 3103 out of 3714 tested combinations for Lockdown Protocol. That places this combo in the lower 16% of all recorded system pairings, which is a telling statistic for a game released in early 2024. The CPU itself sits at the 78th percentile among all processors in the database, while the GPU ranks at the 47th percentile among all graphics cards. The gap between those two percentile figures is the central story: the Ryzen 7 5700 is a capable mid-pack processor, but the GTX 1070 drags the overall frame delivery down to a level where only the most forgiving settings keep the game fluid.

The CPU side of this pairing is not the bottleneck. The Ryzen 7 5700 delivers a Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 20655 and a single-core score of 2916, with a PassMark multi-thread result of 24303. These numbers indicate a processor that can feed a modern FPS without struggling. The GPU, however, produces a PassMark G3D score of 13498 and an average benchmark score of 9780, which is modest by current standards. The database places the GTX 1070 at the 47th percentile, meaning roughly half of all recorded GPUs outperform it. The combo rank reflects that imbalance: the processor is ready for more, but the graphics card caps the experience.

Looking at the measured frames, the pattern is clear. At 1920x1080, the combo clears 60 FPS on every preset, including Ultra at 61.2 FPS. At 2560x1440, it clears 60 FPS on Low and Medium, but drops to 59.1 FPS on High and 43 FPS on Ultra. At 3840x2160, only Low stays above 60 FPS at 61.6 FPS, with Medium falling to 45.3 FPS and Ultra dropping to 31.4 FPS. The data shows a system that can handle 1080p gaming without compromise, handles 1440p with settings discipline, and struggles at 4K except on the lowest preset.

FAQ

The NVIDIA Tesla M10 scores 9724, 0.6% lower. The NVIDIA Tesla C2070 scores 9716, 0.7% lower. All four are within a fraction of a percent, so swapping between them would yield nearly identical frame rates.

Q: Can this combo handle 4K gaming?

A: Only on Low settings. At 3840x2160, Low produces 61.6 FPS, which clears the 60 FPS threshold. Medium drops to 45.3 FPS, High drops to 37.1 FPS, and Ultra drops to 31.4 FPS. For 4K gaming beyond Low, this system is not sufficient.

Best Settings per Resolution

At 1920x1080, the most demanding preset that stays at or above 60 FPS is Ultra, with an average of 61.2 FPS. This is the highest quality option available in the test suite, and the combo just barely clears the playable threshold. Players who want more headroom can drop to High at 79.8 FPS, but the data confirms that Ultra is viable.

At 2560x1440, the most demanding preset that stays at or above 60 FPS is Medium, with an average of 68.3 FPS. High falls short at 59.1 FPS, which is below the 60 FPS threshold. The gap between Medium and High is 9.2 FPS, indicating that the step up in quality comes at a measurable cost.

At 3840x2160, the most demanding preset that stays at or above 60 FPS is Low, with an average of 61.6 FPS. Medium drops to 45.3 FPS, a 16.3 FPS reduction, which makes it unplayable by the database's standard. The jump from Low to Medium is steep, and the jump from Medium to High is another 8.2 FPS lower, landing at 37.1 FPS.

Similar Performance Alternatives

The nearest rivals for the Ryzen 7 5700 in the database are all within 0.3% of its average benchmark score. The Intel Xeon D-2752TER scores 25530, which is 0.1% higher. The AMD Ryzen 5 7640U scores 25485, 0.1% lower. The AMD Ryzen 5 6600H scores 25550, 0.1% higher. The AMD Ryzen 7 5825U scores 25446, 0.3% lower. Any of these CPUs paired with a GTX 1070 would produce frame rates nearly indistinguishable from those recorded for the Ryzen 7 5700 in Lockdown Protocol.

On the GPU side, the nearest rivals to the GTX 1070 are equally close. The AMD FirePro W5000 scores 9803, 0.2% higher than the GTX 1070's 9780. The NVIDIA Quadro M2000M scores 9832, 0.5% higher. The NVIDIA Tesla M10 scores 9724, 0.6% lower. The NVIDIA Tesla C2070 scores 9716, 0.7% lower. A system built with any of these GPUs and a Ryzen 7 5700 would land at essentially the same combo rank and produce the same measured FPS within the margin of error.

The practical takeaway is that this combo sits in a tightly clustered performance band. Swapping the CPU to a Ryzen 5 6600H or a Ryzen 7 5825U changes nothing meaningful. Swapping the GPU to a Quadro M2000M or a Tesla M10 changes nothing meaningful either. The recorded performance is representative of a broad set of hardware combinations, all of which face the same fundamental limit: the GTX 1070 class of GPU cannot push Lockdown Protocol past the 60 FPS mark at higher resolutions and presets.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the combo delivers its best results. Low settings produce an average of 129.8 FPS, which is the highest recorded frame rate for this pairing. Medium drops to 91.5 FPS, High drops to 79.8 FPS, and Ultra drops to 61.2 FPS. The scaling from Low to Ultra is a 68.6 FPS spread, showing that the GPU has significant headroom at this resolution and that quality settings have a large impact on performance.

At 2560x1440, the frame rates compress noticeably. Low settings produce 96.2 FPS, Medium produces 68.3 FPS, High produces 59.1 FPS, and Ultra produces 43 FPS. The spread from Low to Ultra is 53.2 FPS, narrower than at 1080p, which indicates that the GPU is starting to hit its limits. High falls below the 60 FPS threshold by 0.9 FPS, a razor-thin margin that makes the choice between Medium and High a meaningful one for players targeting 60 FPS.

At 3840x2160, the GPU is clearly overmatched. Low settings produce 61.6 FPS, which barely clears the threshold. Medium produces 45.3 FPS, High produces 37.1 FPS, and Ultra produces 31.4 FPS. The spread from Low to Ultra is 30.2 FPS, the narrowest of the three resolutions, because even the lowest preset is pushing the GPU hard. The data shows a steep drop-off from Low to Medium, a 16.3 FPS loss, and a further 8.2 FPS loss from Medium to High.

The database records only average FPS values for these tests; minimum and maximum frame times are not available. The average figures are sufficient to establish playability, but they do not capture frame pacing or stutter. For a fast-paced FPS like Lockdown Protocol, players may want additional headroom above 60 FPS to account for dips below the average, which means the Medium preset at 1440p and the Ultra preset at 1080p are closer to the edge than the averages suggest.

The Verdict

This system can run Lockdown Protocol, but the quality of the experience depends entirely on resolution and settings. At 1920x1080, the verdict is clear: this combo is fully playable on every preset. Ultra runs at 61.2 FPS, which clears the 60 FPS threshold, and High runs at 79.8 FPS with room to spare. Players with 1080p monitors can enable maximum quality and stay above the playable line.

At 2560x1440, the verdict is conditional. Low and Medium both clear 60 FPS, with Medium at 68.3 FPS being the recommended choice for quality. High falls to 59.1 FPS, just 0.9 FPS below the threshold, which in practice means some scenes will dip below 60 FPS even if the average is close. Ultra at 43 FPS is not playable by the database's standard.

At 3840x2160, the verdict is nearly negative. Low settings produce 61.6 FPS, which technically clears the threshold, but there is no margin for error. Medium at 45.3 FPS, High at 37.1 FPS, and Ultra at 31.4 FPS are all well below playable. For 4K gaming, this combo requires the lowest preset and even then sits just above the line.

The CPU is not the constraint. The Ryzen 7 5700 ranks at the 78th percentile among all CPUs and delivers strong multi-threaded and single-threaded scores. The GPU, however, ranks at the 47th percentile and has been end-of-life since its 2016 release. The data shows a system that is genuinely capable at 1080p, acceptable at 1440p with settings discipline, and marginal at 4K. Players who own this combo should target 1080p Ultra or 1440p Medium for the best balance of visual quality and frame rate.
