Lockdown Protocol

How This Combo Ranks

The AMD Ryzen 7 5700G paired with the AMD Radeon RX 570 ranks 3544 out of 3714 tested combos in Lockdown Protocol. That places this configuration in the bottom 5 percent of all measured combinations, a position driven almost entirely by the graphics card. The CPU itself sits in the 79th percentile against all processors, while the GPU sits in the 74th percentile against all graphics cards, yet the combination still lands near the bottom of the database for this specific title. The reason is the game's heavy reliance on sustained GPU throughput, where the RX 570's older GCN 4.0 architecture struggles to maintain high frame rates at demanding settings. Benchmark results indicate that this combo is functional for light esports-style play, but it is far from a high-performance pairing by the database's recorded standards.

CPU and GPU Roles

The recorded data shows a classic GPU-bound scenario for this game. At 1920x1080 with Low settings, the combo reaches 77 FPS average, but that figure drops to 47 FPS at High and 36 FPS at Ultra. The scaling between presets is steep: moving from Low to Medium costs 23 FPS, and from Medium to High another 7 FPS. This pattern indicates that the RX 570 is the limiting factor at 1080p, as the Ryzen 7 5700G with 8 cores and 16 threads provides ample headroom for a 2024 FPS title. The CPU's 3dmark single-thread score of 899 and multi-thread score of 6627 are more than sufficient for the game's logic and physics, so the frame rate collapses are attributable to pixel fill rate and shader work on the GPU.

At 2560x1440, the GPU bottleneck becomes even more pronounced. Low settings produce 56 FPS average, while Medium drops to 40 FPS and High to 35 FPS. The gap between 1440p Low and 1080p Low figures differ by 21 FPS, a 27 percent reduction purely from resolution scaling on the same settings level. At 3840x2160, the picture deteriorates further: Low manages 36 FPS, Medium 26 FPS, and Ultra just 17 FPS. The CPU's role diminishes as resolution climbs, because the RX 570's 4 GB GDDR5 memory and 224.0 GB/s bandwidth become the hard ceiling. The data shows that at 4K, even the lowest preset cannot reach 60 FPS, confirming that the GPU is the dominant constraint across all resolutions and presets in this title.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the combo delivers its best results. Low settings produce an average of 77 FPS with no recorded minimum or maximum, meaning the database captured only the average for that run. Medium settings average 54 FPS with a minimum of 46 and a maximum of 63. High settings average 47 FPS without recorded bounds. Ultra settings average 36 FPS without recorded bounds. The 1080p Low result is the only preset across all resolutions that clears the 60 FPS playable threshold.

At 2560x1440, the average frame rates fall below the playable line across the board. Low settings average 56 FPS, which is 4 FPS short of the 60 FPS threshold. Medium averages 40 FPS with a minimum of 34 and a maximum of 46. High averages 35 FPS. Ultra averages 26 FPS. The recorded minimum of 34 FPS at Medium shows that even the average figure cannot mask significant dips during intense scenes.

At 3840x2160, the results are marginal for any kind of smooth gameplay. Low settings average 36 FPS. Medium averages 26 FPS with a minimum of 22 and a maximum of 30. High averages 22 FPS. Ultra averages 17 FPS. No 4K preset comes close to the 60 FPS threshold, and the Medium preset's minimum of 22 FPS indicates stutter-prone performance in combat sequences.

The absence of min and max data for several presets means the database only recorded averages for those runs, but where bounds exist, the spread is informative. At 1080p Medium, the 46 to 63 FPS range shows a 17 FPS swing, while at 1440p Medium the 34 to 46 FPS range shows a 12 FPS swing, and at 4K Medium the 22 to 30 FPS range shows an 8 FPS swing. The narrowing spread at higher resolutions suggests the GPU is hitting consistent compute limits rather than experiencing transient spikes.

Similar Performance Alternatives

Looking at the CPU's nearest rivals in the database, the AMD Ryzen 7 5700G's average benchmark score of 27051 sits within 1 percent of several processors. The Intel Core i9-9900K scores 27097, a 0.2 percent difference. The AMD Ryzen AI 7 445 scores 26936, a 0.4 percent difference. The Intel Core i5-14400T scores 27166, a 0.4 percent difference. The Intel Core i7-1370P scores 26900, a 0.6 percent difference. Any of these CPUs would produce nearly identical frame rates in Lockdown Protocol when paired with the same RX 570, since the game is not CPU-limited in this configuration.

On the GPU side, the AMD Radeon RX 570's average benchmark score of 28766 is closely matched by several alternatives. The AMD Radeon RX 6800M scores 28874, a 0.4 percent difference, which is surprising given that the 6800M is a mobile part, but the database records it as a direct performance neighbor. The AMD Radeon R9 M295X scores 28580, a 0.7 percent difference. The AMD Radeon RX 470 scores 28996, a 0.8 percent difference. The NVIDIA Quadro RTX 8000 scores 28421, a 1.2 percent difference. Users with any of these GPUs paired with a similar-class CPU should expect frame rates within a few percent of the measurements recorded for this combo. The RX 470 in particular is architecturally nearly identical to the RX 570, so its performance in Lockdown Protocol should track closely.

Best Settings per Resolution

At 3840x2160, no preset reaches the 60 FPS threshold. The best available option is Low at 36 FPS average, which is far below playable. At 2560x1440, no preset reaches 60 FPS either. Low comes closest at 56 FPS average, but it still misses the threshold by 4 FPS. At 1920x1080, Low settings are the only playable option, delivering 77 FPS average. Medium at 1080p averages 54 FPS, which is below the 60 FPS line, so it cannot be recommended as a playable preset despite being close. The database's verdict confirms this: the only playable settings list for this combo is 1080p Low.

FAQ

Q: Can this PC run Lockdown Protocol at 1080p?

A: Yes, but only at Low settings. The database records 77 FPS average at 1920x1080 Low, which clears the 60 FPS threshold. Medium settings drop to 54 FPS average, which is below the playable line.

Q: What is the best resolution for this combo?

A: 1920x1080 is the only resolution with a playable preset. At 2560x1440, the best result is 56 FPS average on Low, which is 4 FPS short of the 60 FPS threshold. At 3840x2160, the best result is 36 FPS average on Low.

Q: How does the Ryzen 7 5700G compare to similar CPUs?

A: Its average benchmark score of 27051 is within 0.6 percent of the Intel Core i9-9900K, AMD Ryzen AI 7 445, Intel Core i5-14400T, and Intel Core i7-1370P. In Lockdown Protocol, any of these CPUs would deliver essentially the same frame rates when paired with the RX 570.

Q: Is the RX 570 the bottleneck in this system?

A: Yes. The frame rates scale heavily with resolution and settings, while the CPU has sufficient single-thread and multi-thread performance. The GPU's 4 GB GDDR5 memory and 224.0 GB/s bandwidth limit performance, especially at 1440p and 4K.

Q: What settings should I use for 1440p?

A: None of the recorded presets reach 60 FPS at 2560x1440. Low settings average 56 FPS, Medium averages 40 FPS, High averages 35 FPS, and Ultra averages 26 FPS. Users seeking smoother gameplay should drop to 1080p.

Q: How does the RX 570 compare to its nearest GPU rivals?

A: Its average benchmark score of 28766 is within 1.2 percent of the AMD Radeon RX 6800M, AMD Radeon R9 M295X, AMD Radeon RX 470, and NVIDIA Quadro RTX 8000. The RX 470 is the closest architectural match and should perform nearly identically in this game.

The Verdict

The verdict by resolution is clear. At 3840x2160, this combo cannot run Lockdown Protocol at a playable frame rate under any preset. The highest average is 36 FPS on Low, and Ultra averages just 17 FPS. At 2560x1440, the combo also fails to reach 60 FPS on any preset. Low settings come closest at 56 FPS average, but the 4 FPS shortfall means the game is not playable by the database's standard. At 1920x1080, the combo succeeds, but only on Low settings with a 77 FPS average. Medium at 1080p averages 54 FPS, which misses the threshold, so users are locked into the lowest preset for a smooth experience. This is a system that can run Lockdown Protocol, but with substantial visual compromises and only at 1080p. The data suggests that the RX 570 is the limiting factor, and upgrading the GPU would yield far larger gains than swapping the CPU, given the processor's strong benchmark standing relative to its rivals.
