Lockdown Protocol

The AMD Ryzen 7 5700G paired with the AMD Radeon RX 6750 XT delivers a solid 1080p and 1440p experience in Lockdown Protocol, but 4K Ultra remains out of reach. Benchmark data shows the combo is fully capable of exceeding the 60 FPS playable threshold at every resolution, provided settings are adjusted appropriately. At 4K, the system is limited to Low and Medium presets, while 1440p and 1080p allow for Ultra settings with average frame rates well above the target.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The measured FPS data for this combination reveals a clear performance hierarchy across resolutions and settings. At 1920x1080, the system delivers exceptional frame rates: Low settings produce an average of 199.8 FPS, Medium reaches 142.3 FPS, High achieves 122.4 FPS, and Ultra still maintains a strong 92.9 FPS. These numbers indicate that the CPU and GPU combination is never strained at 1080p, with even the most demanding preset offering a comfortable margin above the 60 FPS threshold.

Moving to 2560x1440, performance remains robust but shows the expected scaling penalty. Low settings yield 144.4 FPS, Medium drops to 102.5 FPS, High settles at 90.3 FPS, and Ultra falls to 68.9 FPS. The drop from 1080p Ultra to 1440p Ultra is approximately 26%, which is a moderate penalty and suggests the GPU is handling the increased pixel count without becoming a severe bottleneck. The 1440p Ultra result is particularly notable because it stays above 60 FPS, making this resolution viable for high-refresh-rate gaming even at maximum quality.

At 3840x2160, the GPU begins to show its limits. Low settings produce 96.7 FPS, which is still very playable, but Medium drops to 66.8 FPS, High falls to 58.6 FPS, and Ultra plummets to 44.2 FPS. The scaling from 1440p to 4K is steep: High settings lose about 35% performance, and Ultra loses roughly 36%. The 4K High result of 58.6 FPS sits just below the 60 FPS threshold, making it borderline unplayable by the defined standard, while Ultra at 44.2 FPS is clearly not suitable for smooth gameplay.

The absence of min and max FPS data in the measured results means the analysis relies solely on averages. However, the consistent pattern across resolutions suggests stable performance without major frame-time spikes. The gap between Low and Ultra at each resolution is substantial: at 1080p, the difference is 106.9 FPS; at 1440p, it is 75.5 FPS; and at 4K, it is 52.5 FPS. This indicates that the GPU is the primary scaling factor as settings increase, which is typical for a graphically demanding FPS title.

Similar Performance Alternatives

The nearest rivals for the CPU and GPU provide context for what other hardware would behave similarly in this game. For the AMD Ryzen 7 5700G, the closest comparable processors include the Intel Core i9-9900K with an average score of 27097 and a deltaPct of -0.2%, meaning the Ryzen 7 5700G trails by a negligible 0.2%. The AMD Ryzen AI 7 445 scores 26936 with a deltaPct of 0.4%, indicating the 5700G is 0.4% faster. The Intel Core i5-14400T scores 27166 with a deltaPct of -0.4%, and the Intel Core i7-1370P scores 26900 with a deltaPct of 0.6%. These four processors are all within a 1% performance band of the Ryzen 7 5700G, meaning gaming performance in Lockdown Protocol would be virtually identical with any of them.

For the AMD Radeon RX 6750 XT, the nearest rivals include the AMD Radeon R9 M395X with an average score of 25891 and a deltaPct of 0.5%, meaning the RX 6750 XT is 0.5% faster. The AMD FirePro W7100 scores 25856 with a deltaPct of 0.6%, the AMD FirePro D700 scores 25842 with a deltaPct of 0.7%, and the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 Ti Mobile scores 25740 with a deltaPct of 1.1%. All of these GPUs are within a 1.1% performance range of the RX 6750 XT, so users with any of these graphics cards would experience nearly identical frame rates in Lockdown Protocol at the same settings and resolution.

It is important to note that the rival scores are aggregate benchmarks rather than game-specific measurements. The deltaPct values indicate overall compute performance parity, but actual in-game results could vary slightly due to driver optimizations and architectural differences. Nevertheless, the tight clustering of scores suggests that swapping to any of these alternatives would not materially change the playability verdicts described in this analysis.

CPU and GPU Roles

The benchmark data reveals that the GPU is the dominant factor in determining performance at higher resolutions and settings, while the CPU provides sufficient headroom at lower resolutions. At 1920x1080 with Low settings, the system achieves 199.8 FPS, which is more than triple the 4K Low result of 96.7 FPS. This substantial scaling difference indicates that the CPU is capable of feeding the GPU with enough data at lower pixel counts, but the GPU becomes increasingly burdened as resolution increases.

The scaling between resolutions at the same settings provides evidence for GPU-bound behavior. At High settings, the frame rates are 122.4 FPS at 1080p, 90.3 FPS at 1440p, and 58.6 FPS at 4K. The percentage drops from 1080p to 1440p (26.2%) and from 1440p to 4K (35.1%) are consistent with pixel count increases, which strongly suggests the GPU is the limiting factor. If the CPU were the bottleneck, the scaling would be more muted because the GPU would be waiting for CPU instructions rather than working at full capacity.

The Ryzen 7 5700G’s 8 cores and 16 threads, combined with a boost clock of 4.60 GHz, provide ample processing power for Lockdown Protocol. The CPU’s 3dmark_16_threads score of 6629 and cinebench_r23_multicore score of 12830.5 indicate strong multi-threaded performance, which is typical for modern FPS titles that can utilize multiple cores. However, the single-thread performance, reflected in a 3dmark_single_thread score of 899 and a cinebench_r23_singlecore score of 1494, is also sufficient for game logic and physics calculations.

At 4K Ultra, the GPU’s limitations are clear: 44.2 FPS is well below playable. The fact that 4K Low achieves 96.7 FPS while 4K Ultra achieves 44.2 FPS highlights that the GPU’s shading units, texture mapping units, and raster operations pipelines are overwhelmed by the combination of high resolution and intensive effects. The RX 6750 XT’s 13.31 TFLOPS of FP32 performance and 432.0 GB/s memory bandwidth are respectable, but they are not enough for 4K Ultra in this title.

How This Combo Ranks

Among all tested combinations in the benchmark database, this pairing of AMD Ryzen 7 5700G and AMD Radeon RX 6750 XT ranks 1809 out of 3714 combos. This places it in the 48.7th percentile, meaning it outperforms slightly less than half of all tested systems. The rank is a composite measure that accounts for both CPU and GPU performance, and the mid-pack position reflects that this is a capable but not top-tier configuration.

The CPU’s percentileVsAllCpus of 79 indicates it outperforms 79% of all tested CPUs, which is a strong showing for a mid-range processor. The GPU’s percentileVsAllGpus of 71 places it above 71% of tested GPUs. The combination of a strong CPU and a slightly weaker GPU means the system is well-balanced for most gaming scenarios, but the GPU will be the first component to bottleneck in demanding titles like Lockdown Protocol at high settings.

The combo rank of 1809 out of 3714 suggests that there are 1808 combinations that perform better and 1904 that perform worse. Systems ranked higher would likely feature more powerful GPUs such as the RTX 3080 Ti or RX 6800 XT, while lower-ranked systems would have older or less capable hardware. For the price point and hardware generation, this ranking is reasonable and aligns with the measured FPS data showing solid 1080p and 1440p performance.

The Verdict

This PC configuration can run Lockdown Protocol at all three tested resolutions, but the settings must be chosen carefully to maintain 60 FPS. At 1920x1080, the verdict is unequivocal: all four settings — Low, Medium, High, and Ultra — are playable, with Ultra averaging 92.9 FPS. This makes 1080p the ideal resolution for this hardware, offering a smooth experience with maximum visual quality.

At 2560x1440, all four settings also clear the 60 FPS threshold. Ultra averages 68.9 FPS, which provides a comfortable margin above the playable standard. This is the highest resolution at which the system can run Ultra settings without compromise, making 1440p the sweet spot for users who prioritize visual fidelity over maximum frame rates.

At 3840x2160, the verdict is more nuanced. Only Low and Medium settings are playable, with Low averaging 96.7 FPS and Medium averaging 66.8 FPS. High settings fall just short at 58.6 FPS, and Ultra is not viable at 44.2 FPS. The best playable setting at 4K is Medium, which offers 66.8 FPS and represents the optimal balance of quality and performance. Users who insist on 4K Ultra would need more powerful hardware, but those willing to drop to Medium can still enjoy a playable experience.

The playable threshold of 60 FPS is met or exceeded in 10 out of 12 tested configurations, with only 4K High and 4K Ultra failing. This demonstrates that the combination is versatile enough to handle a wide range of gaming scenarios, from competitive low-settings play at high frame rates to visually rich medium-settings play at 4K.
