Lockdown Protocol

The AMD Ryzen 7 5700 paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti delivers an exceptionally strong performance profile in Lockdown Protocol, with measured data showing the combination clearing the 60 FPS playability threshold at every resolution and preset tested. The benchmark results indicate a system that is not merely playable but overwhelmingly capable, with average frame rates ranging from 73.1 FPS at 4K Ultra to 260.4 FPS at 1080p Low. This places the combo in the 90th percentile of tested configurations, ranking 366 out of 3714 total combos.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The measured FPS data for this combination reveals a consistent pattern of high performance across all resolutions and settings. At 1920x1080, the lowest resolution tested, the system produces exceptionally high frame rates that will easily satisfy any high-refresh-rate monitor. The Low preset delivers an average of 260.4 FPS, while Medium reaches 225 FPS and High achieves 199.2 FPS. Even the most demanding Ultra preset at 1080p maintains a robust 148.1 FPS average, leaving substantial headroom above the 60 FPS playability threshold.

Moving to 2560x1440, the performance remains remarkably strong but shows the expected scaling with increased pixel count. The Low preset at 1440p produces an average of 234 FPS, which is only a 10.1% reduction from the 1080p Low result. Medium at 1440p delivers 167.6 FPS, representing a 25.5% drop from the 1080p Medium figure. High at 1440p achieves 144.9 FPS, down 27.3% from the 1080p High result. The Ultra preset at 1440p maintains a solid 112 FPS average, which is 24.4% lower than the 1080p Ultra score but still nearly double the playability threshold.

At 3840x2160, the performance profile shows the most significant impact of resolution scaling, though the results remain impressive. The Low preset at 4K delivers 153.6 FPS average, which is still far above the 60 FPS threshold. Medium at 4K produces 105.1 FPS, while High achieves 94.7 FPS. The Ultra preset at 4K, which is the most demanding configuration tested, maintains a playable 73.1 FPS average. The data shows a clear progression: each step from Low to Ultra at 4K reduces the average frame rate, but even the worst-case scenario remains comfortably above the playability threshold.

How This Combo Ranks

The comboRankInGame data places this specific CPU-GPU pairing at rank 366 out of 3714 tested combinations, which positions it in the top 9.9% of all configurations. This percentile ranking is notable given the specific hardware combination, as it suggests the synergy between the Ryzen 7 5700 and RTX 5070 Ti is particularly effective for Lockdown Protocol's engine and workload characteristics.

The ranking context becomes clearer when examining the individual component percentiles. The CPU sits at the 78th percentile among all processors, while the GPU achieves the 86th percentile among all graphics cards. The combined rank of 366 out of 3714 is better than what these individual percentiles might suggest, indicating that this particular pairing extracts more performance from the hardware than the sum of its parts would imply. The data shows a system that outperforms its component-level rankings when working together in this specific game title.

CPU and GPU Roles

The measured FPS data across resolutions provides insight into which component plays a more significant role in Lockdown Protocol's performance. The scaling between resolutions reveals the GPU's increasing dominance as resolution rises. At 1080p, the difference between Low and Ultra presets is 112.3 FPS (from 260.4 down to 148.1), which represents a 43.1% performance penalty for the highest settings. This substantial gap indicates that at 1080p, the CPU has enough headroom that the GPU's workload differences between presets become the primary performance determinant.

At 1440p, the Low to Ultra spread narrows to 122 FPS (from 234 down to 112), showing a 52.1% reduction. The larger absolute gap at 1440p compared to 1080p suggests the GPU is becoming more saturated as pixel count increases. At 4K, the Low to Ultra range spans 80.5 FPS (from 153.6 down to 73.1), which is a 52.4% reduction. The percentage reduction stabilizes between 1440p and 4K, indicating that the GPU workload scaling is consistent at higher resolutions.

The resolution scaling itself tells a clear story about GPU boundedness. Moving from 1080p Low to 1440p Low results in a 10.1% FPS drop, while the same resolution increase at Ultra costs 24.4% performance. This widening gap at higher presets suggests that Lockdown Protocol becomes increasingly GPU-limited as both resolution and graphical complexity increase. The CPU's 8-core, 16-thread configuration appears sufficient to feed the GPU adequately at all tested resolutions, as evidenced by the minimal performance degradation when moving from 1080p to 1440p at lower presets.

Similar Performance Alternatives

The nearestRivals data for the CPU provides context for what other processors would deliver similar compute performance. The AMD Ryzen 7 5700's average benchmark score of 25517 is nearly identical to the Intel Xeon D-2752TER at 25530, which is only 0.1% faster. The AMD Ryzen 5 7640U scores 25485, representing a 0.1% delta, while the AMD Ryzen 5 6600H achieves 25550, also a 0.1% difference. The AMD Ryzen 7 5825U rounds out the closest comparisons with a score of 25446, just 0.3% slower. These extremely tight margins mean that swapping the Ryzen 7 5700 for any of these alternatives would produce nearly identical CPU-bound performance in Lockdown Protocol.

On the GPU side, the nearestRivals data shows interesting comparisons for the RTX 5070 Ti. The AMD Radeon RX Vega 64 scores 50001, which is 0.1% lower than the RTX 5070 Ti's average of 49957. The Intel Arc A550M comes within 0.4% with a score of 49737. The AMD Radeon RX 6900 XT is 2% faster at 50951, while the AMD Radeon RX 6800 XT trails by 3.1% at 48477. These GPU alternatives would produce similar FPS results in Lockdown Protocol, though the RX 6900 XT would likely deliver slightly higher frame rates while the RX 6800 XT would be marginally slower.
