Lockdown Protocol

# Lockdown Protocol Performance Analysis: AMD Ryzen 7 5700 + NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER

The AMD Ryzen 7 5700 paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER delivers consistently high frame rates across all tested resolutions in Lockdown Protocol, with every setting combination at every resolution clearing the 60 FPS playability threshold. The measured data shows a system that is not merely playable but overwhelmingly capable, with even the most demanding configuration—4K Ultra—averaging 75.6 FPS. The RTX 4080 SUPER, a 5 nm Ada Lovelace part with 16 GB of GDDR6X memory on a 256-bit bus, provides the graphical horsepower, while the 8-core, 16-thread Zen 3 CPU from the 5000 series ensures the processor side never becomes a limiting factor in this title.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the data shows frame rates that range from excellent to exceptionally high. The Low preset averages 259 FPS, which represents the absolute ceiling for this combination at this resolution. Medium settings produce an average of 230.4 FPS, while High delivers 208 FPS. Even the Ultra preset, which typically imposes the heaviest load, maintains an average of 153.3 FPS. The scaling from Low to Ultra represents a 40.8% reduction in average frame rate, yet even the lowest figure remains far above the 60 FPS playability threshold.

Moving to 2560x1440, the pattern continues with strong performance across all presets. Low settings average 234.2 FPS, Medium drops to 173.7 FPS, and High maintains 150.5 FPS. The Ultra preset at 1440p averages exactly 115 FPS. The transition from 1080p to 1440p shows a predictable performance cost: at Ultra settings, the frame rate drops from 153.3 to 115 FPS, a 25% reduction. At Low settings, the decrease is more modest, from 259 to 234.2 FPS, representing an 9.6% penalty.

At 3840x2160, the RTX 4080 SUPER continues to deliver playable frame rates across all settings. The Low preset averages 155.2 FPS, Medium averages 115 FPS, and High averages 97.9 FPS. The Ultra preset at 4K produces an average of 75.6 FPS. The scaling from 1440p to 4K at Ultra settings shows a 34.3% frame rate reduction, from 115 to 75.6 FPS. At High settings, the 4K figure of 97.9 FPS represents a 34.9% decrease from the 1440p result of 150.5 FPS. The data indicates that the gap between Low and Ultra presets widens as resolution increases: at 1080p the spread is 105.7 FPS, at 1440p it is 119.2 FPS, and at 4K it reaches 79.6 FPS.

CPU and GPU Roles

The performance scaling across resolutions reveals which component dominates in Lockdown Protocol. At 1080p, where CPU overhead is typically more visible, the difference between Low and Ultra presets is 105.7 FPS, suggesting the GPU is still the primary performance driver even at lower resolutions. The Ryzen 7 5700, with its 3.70 GHz base clock and 4.60 GHz boost clock, provides ample single-thread performance, as indicated by its 3DMark single-thread score of 901 and Cinebench R23 single-core result of 2916.

As resolution increases to 1440p, the GPU load grows, but the frame rates remain high enough that CPU limitations are unlikely to appear. The 4K results show the clearest evidence of GPU-bound behavior: the Ultra preset at 4K delivers 75.6 FPS, which is 49.4% lower than the 1080p Ultra result of 153.3 FPS. This substantial drop with resolution scaling indicates the RTX 4080 SUPER is the limiting factor at higher resolutions, while the CPU has sufficient headroom.

The CPU's multi-threaded capabilities are strong, with a Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 20655 and a PassMark multi-thread score of 24303. The 16 MB of L3 cache and 8 cores provide enough processing power for the game's FPS workloads. The data suggests that at 1080p, the system operates closer to a balanced state, while at 4K, the GPU is clearly the bottleneck. The RTX 4080 SUPER's memory bandwidth of 736.3 GB/s and 52.22 TFLOPS of FP32 performance are the key factors driving the high frame rates at all resolutions.

Similar Performance Alternatives

The nearest rivals for the AMD Ryzen 7 5700, based on average benchmark scores, include the Intel Xeon D-2752TER with an average score of 25530 and a delta of -0.1%, the AMD Ryzen 5 7640U with 25485 and 0.1%, the AMD Ryzen 5 6600H with 25550 and -0.1%, and the AMD Ryzen 7 5825U with 25446 and 0.3%. These processors all sit within a narrow performance band around the Ryzen 7 5700's average score of 25517, meaning any of these CPUs would produce nearly identical frame rates in Lockdown Protocol when paired with the same GPU.

For the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER, the nearest rivals are the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 with an average score of 54247 and a delta of -0.1%, the AMD Radeon Pro W5700X with 54828 and -1.1%, the AMD Radeon RX 6750 GRE 12 GB with 55698 and -2.7%, and the AMD Radeon 8060S with 55757 and -2.8%. The RTX 4080 SUPER's average score of 54209 places it nearly identical to the RTX 4080, with less than a 0.1% difference. The AMD alternatives are slightly higher in raw score but remain within 2.8% of the RTX 4080 SUPER, suggesting that swapping to any of these GPUs would yield similar performance characteristics in Lockdown Protocol.

A system with the Ryzen 7 5700 and any of these rival GPUs would produce frame rates within a few percentage points of the measured results. Similarly, pairing the RTX 4080 SUPER with any of the rival CPUs would maintain the same performance tier, as the CPU is not the limiting factor in this game configuration.
