Lockdown Protocol

The AMD Ryzen 7 5700 and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 combination delivers a consistently playable experience in Lockdown Protocol across most modern resolutions, with the data showing that 1080p and 1440p users can max out the game's settings while maintaining frame rates well above the 60 FPS threshold.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The measured FPS data for this combo covers three resolutions and four quality presets, providing a complete picture of performance scaling. At 1920x1080, the average frame rates are uniformly high. The Low preset produces an average of 187.6 FPS, which is the highest figure recorded for this combination. Moving to Medium, the average drops to 135.3 FPS, still a very comfortable margin above the 60 FPS playability threshold. The High preset yields 115.1 FPS on average, and the demanding Ultra preset maintains an average of 89.6 FPS. None of the 1080p presets dip below the playability line, indicating that this resolution is entirely within the combo's comfort zone.

At 2560x1440, the performance remains strong but begins to show the expected scaling pressure. The Low preset averages 138.2 FPS, which is a significant reduction from the 1080p Low figure but still an excellent result. Medium averages 102.2 FPS, High averages 84 FPS, and Ultra settles at 64.9 FPS. The Ultra preset at 1440p is the closest this combo comes to the 60 FPS threshold at this resolution, yet it still clears it by nearly 5 FPS on average. The data indicates that 1440p Ultra is playable, though it leaves less headroom than lower presets.

The 3840x2160 results show a clear division between playable and non-playable settings. The Low preset at 4K averages 90.4 FPS, which is a surprisingly strong result for such a high pixel count. Medium averages 65.6 FPS, just above the 60 FPS threshold. However, High drops to 55.2 FPS on average, falling below the playability line, and Ultra averages only 44 FPS, a substantial deficit. The data shows that 4K users must select Medium or Low presets to maintain playable frame rates, as the higher-quality settings exceed the GPU's rendering capacity at this resolution.

CPU and GPU Roles

The performance scaling across resolutions reveals which component acts as the primary bottleneck at each setting. At 1920x1080, the frame rates are extremely high across all presets, with the Low preset reaching 187.6 FPS. These figures suggest that the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 is handling the rendering workload comfortably, and the AMD Ryzen 7 5700's eight cores and sixteen threads are sufficient to feed the GPU without becoming a limiting factor. The CPU's Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 20655 and single-core score of 2916 indicate a capable processor for gaming workloads.

As the resolution increases to 2560x1440, the frame rates drop proportionally, but the pattern remains consistent. The gap between Low and Ultra at 1440p is 73.3 FPS, which is a narrower absolute spread than the 98 FPS gap seen at 1080p. This narrowing suggests that the GPU is becoming more of a limiting factor as pixel count rises, while the CPU's role remains relatively constant. The Ryzen 7 5700's 3dmark single-thread score of 901 and multi-thread score of 6617 show balanced performance that does not appear to constrain the RTX 4060 at these settings.

At 3840x2160, the GPU's role becomes dominant. The Ultra preset at 4K averages just 44 FPS, while the Low preset averages 90.4 FPS, a difference of 46.4 FPS. This wide gap between presets at 4K indicates that the RTX 4060's rendering capabilities, rather than the CPU, are the primary determinant of performance. The GPU's 8 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 128-bit bus with 272.0 GB/s bandwidth is adequate for lower presets but struggles with the increased texture and shading demands of High and Ultra at 4K. The data shows a clear pattern: at 1080p and 1440p, both components contribute meaningfully, while at 4K, the GPU is the decisive factor.

Similar Performance Alternatives

Looking at the nearest rivals for the CPU, the AMD Ryzen 7 5700's average benchmark score of 25517 places it in close proximity to several alternatives. The Intel Xeon D-2752TER scores 25530, a delta of -0.1 percent, meaning the two processors are effectively tied in overall performance. The AMD Ryzen 5 7640U scores 25485, a 0.1 percent delta, and the AMD Ryzen 5 6600H scores 25550, a -0.1 percent delta. The AMD Ryzen 7 5825U scores 25446, a 0.3 percent delta. None of these rivals differ by more than 0.3 percent from the Ryzen 7 5700, indicating that all four alternatives would produce nearly identical CPU-bound behavior in Lockdown Protocol. The Ryzen 7 5700 sits at the 78th percentile among all CPUs, showing it is a solid mid-to-upper tier processor.

For the GPU, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 has an average benchmark score of 17639, placing it at the 61st percentile among all GPUs. Its nearest rivals are surprisingly close in aggregate score. The AMD Radeon HD 7790 scores 17666, a -0.2 percent delta, while the AMD Radeon 780M scores 17588, a 0.3 percent delta. The AMD Radeon Pro 560 scores 17551, a 0.5 percent delta, and the AMD Radeon Pro 460 scores 17509, a 0.7 percent delta. These deltas are all under one percent, meaning that swapping the RTX 4060 for any of these alternatives would result in nearly identical frame rates in Lockdown Protocol at all resolutions and presets. The data suggests that the RTX 4060's performance profile is well-established, and these rivals represent the nearest performance brackets.

How This Combo Ranks

The AMD Ryzen 7 5700 and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 combination ranks 1991 out of 3714 tested combos in Lockdown Protocol. This places the combo in the lower half of all tested configurations, at roughly the 46th percentile of combinations. The ranking reflects that while this combo delivers playable frame rates at 1080p and 1440p, there are many other combinations that achieve higher absolute performance. The CPU's 78th percentile ranking among all CPUs and the GPU's 61st percentile ranking among all GPUs indicate that both components are above average individually, but the combo's overall position is pulled down by the GPU's relatively modest standing. The data shows that the RTX 4060, with its passmark G3D score of 19545, is not a top-tier graphics card, and this limits the combo's overall rank despite the CPU's solid performance.

The Verdict

The data clearly shows that this PC can run Lockdown Protocol at 1920x1080 and 2560x1440 with all presets clearing the 60 FPS playability threshold. At 1080p, the Ultra preset averages 89.6 FPS, providing substantial headroom above the minimum playable frame rate. At 1440p, the Ultra preset averages 64.9 FPS, which is playable but closer to the threshold. At 3840x2160, the verdict is more restricted: only the Low and Medium presets are playable, with Medium averaging 65.6 FPS and Low averaging 90.4 FPS. The High preset at 4K averages 55.2 FPS, falling below the 60 FPS threshold, and Ultra averages 44 FPS, which is not playable. The verdict by resolution confirms that this combo is best suited for 1080p and 1440p gaming, with 4K requiring a reduction in quality settings to maintain smooth performance.

Best Settings per Resolution

At 1920x1080, the most demanding preset that stays at or above 60 FPS is Ultra, which averages 89.6 FPS. This provides a comfortable margin above the threshold while delivering the highest visual quality available.

At 2560x1440, the Ultra preset also remains playable, averaging 64.9 FPS. This is the best setting for this resolution, though the margin above 60 FPS is smaller than at 1080p. Users seeking additional headroom could select High, which averages 84 FPS.

At 3840x2160, the most demanding playable preset is Medium, which averages 65.6 FPS. The Low preset averages 90.4 FPS and offers a larger safety margin, but Medium provides better visual quality while still clearing the 60 FPS threshold. The High and Ultra presets at 4K are not recommended, as they average 55.2 FPS and 44 FPS respectively, both below the playability line.
