Lockdown Protocol

The AMD Ryzen 7 5700G and AMD Radeon RX 7600 combination delivers a playable Lockdown Protocol experience across a wide range of settings, with the data showing that 1080p Ultra is achievable at 74 FPS average, 1440p High at 73 FPS average, and 4K requiring a drop to Low settings for 76 FPS average. This pairing sits at rank 2577 out of 3714 tested combinations, placing it in the 69th percentile of all configurations tested for this game, and the measured FPS data indicates that the system scales predictably with both resolution and preset changes.

Best Settings per Resolution

At 3840x2160, the most demanding preset that maintains an average of at least 60 FPS is Low. The measured data shows 76 FPS average at Low settings, while Medium drops to 54 FPS average with a minimum of 46 FPS and maximum of 62 FPS, which falls below the 60 FPS playable threshold. High settings at 4K produce 47 FPS average, and Ultra produces 35 FPS average, both well below the playable threshold. The verdict data confirms that only Low is listed as playable at this resolution, with a best settings designation of Low and an average FPS at best of 76.

At 2560x1440, the most demanding preset that stays at or above 60 FPS is High. The measured FPS shows 73 FPS average at High settings, while Medium produces 83 FPS average with a minimum of 71 FPS and maximum of 96 FPS. Low settings reach 117 FPS average. Ultra at 1440p falls to 54 FPS average, which misses the 60 FPS threshold. The verdict data lists High, Low, and Medium as playable, with High designated as the best settings at 73 FPS average. This means at 1440p, you can run High settings comfortably, but Ultra is not viable for maintaining 60 FPS.

At 1920x1080, the most demanding preset that maintains 60 FPS or higher is Ultra. The measured FPS shows 74 FPS average at Ultra settings, while High produces 99 FPS average, Medium produces 113 FPS average with a minimum of 96 FPS and maximum of 130 FPS, and Low reaches 160 FPS average. The verdict data confirms all four presets are playable at 1080p, with Ultra designated as the best settings at 74 FPS average. This is the only resolution where the full settings range is available, and the 74 FPS average at Ultra provides a comfortable margin above the 60 FPS threshold.

CPU and GPU Roles

The data reveals how the CPU and GPU split responsibilities across resolutions and presets. At 3840x2160, the GPU is the dominant constraint. The scaling from Low to Medium at 4K shows a drop from 76 FPS to 54 FPS, a 22 FPS reduction, while the jump from Medium to High further drops to 47 FPS, and High to Ultra drops to 35 FPS. This progressive decline with each preset increase indicates that the RX 7600’s rendering throughput is the limiting factor at 4K, as the CPU workload from the Ryzen 7 5700G’s 8 cores and 16 threads is unlikely to be saturated at these lower frame rates.

At 2560x1440, the balance shifts somewhat. The data shows 117 FPS at Low, 83 FPS at Medium, 73 FPS at High, and 54 FPS at Ultra. The gap between Medium and High is 10 FPS, while the gap between High and Ultra is 19 FPS. This wider drop at Ultra suggests that the GPU is reaching its limits with the most demanding settings, but the fact that Low settings exceed 100 FPS indicates that the CPU can feed the GPU adequately at this resolution. The Ryzen 7 5700G’s benchmark scores, including a Cinebench R23 multicore score of 12830.5 and a Passmark multithread score of 24419, support its capability to handle the CPU-bound aspects of Lockdown Protocol at 1440p.

At 1920x1080, the CPU becomes more relevant relative to the GPU. The data shows 160 FPS at Low, 113 FPS at Medium, 99 FPS at High, and 74 FPS at Ultra. The relatively small gaps between presets at 1080p — 47 FPS between Low and Medium, 14 FPS between Medium and High, and 25 FPS between High and Ultra — suggest that the CPU is capable of pushing high frame rates, but the GPU is still the primary limiter at Ultra settings. The 74 FPS at Ultra versus 160 FPS at Low demonstrates that the RX 7600’s workload scales significantly with preset quality, while the CPU maintains its ability to deliver frames. The 3DMark 16-thread score of 6629 for the CPU indicates solid multi-threaded performance that supports the 160 FPS Low setting result.

The resolution scaling itself shows the GPU’s role. Moving from 1080p Low at 160 FPS to 1440p Low at 117 FPS represents a 27% reduction, and further to 4K Low at 76 FPS is a 52% reduction from 1080p. This pixel-count scaling is typical of GPU-bound scenarios, confirming that the RX 7600 is the main driver of performance differences across resolutions. Conversely, the CPU’s influence is most visible in the preset scaling at 1080p, where the 160 FPS Low result shows headroom that the GPU cannot fully utilize at higher presets.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 3840x2160, the measured FPS data shows a clear progression across settings. Low settings produce an average of 76 FPS, with no minimum or maximum recorded. Medium settings produce an average of 54 FPS, with a minimum of 46 FPS and maximum of 62 FPS, indicating some frame variability around the average. High settings drop to 47 FPS average, and Ultra falls to 35 FPS average. The Medium preset at 4K is the only one with recorded min/max values, and the 46 FPS minimum falls below the 60 FPS playable threshold, confirming that Medium is not viable at this resolution for consistent gameplay.

At 2560x1440, the data shows a wider range of performance. Low settings reach 117 FPS average, with no min/max recorded. Medium settings produce 83 FPS average, with a minimum of 71 FPS and maximum of 96 FPS, providing a stable range above the 60 FPS threshold. High settings achieve 73 FPS average, and Ultra drops to 54 FPS average. The Medium preset’s 71 FPS minimum is the lowest recorded value at 1440p, but it still clears the playable threshold, meaning even the worst-case frame dips at Medium remain above 60 FPS. The High preset’s 73 FPS average leaves less headroom, but no min/max data is recorded for High to assess frame consistency.

At 1920x1080, the measured FPS shows the strongest performance. Low settings produce 160 FPS average, the highest recorded value in the entire dataset. Medium settings achieve 113 FPS average, with a minimum of 96 FPS and maximum of 130 FPS, showing a tight frame range that never dips below the playable threshold. High settings reach 99 FPS average, and Ultra produces 74 FPS average. The Medium preset’s 96 FPS minimum is notably high, indicating that even the most demanding scenes at 1080p Medium stay well above 60 FPS. The Ultra preset’s 74 FPS average provides a 14 FPS margin above the threshold, but no min/max data is recorded for Ultra to determine whether frame dips could approach 60 FPS.

The data patterns show that the system’s performance is most consistent at 1080p, where even Medium settings maintain a minimum of 96 FPS. At 1440p, the Medium preset’s 71 FPS minimum is the lowest recorded value, but it remains playable. At 4K, only Low settings are viable, and the lack of min/max data for Low makes it difficult to assess frame consistency, but the 76 FPS average suggests adequate headroom above the 60 FPS threshold.

Similar Performance Alternatives

For the CPU, the AMD Ryzen 7 5700G’s average benchmark score is 27051, and its nearest rivals provide close performance deltas. The Intel Core i9-9900K has an average score of 27097, which is 0.2% higher than the 5700G, making it effectively equivalent in performance. The AMD Ryzen AI 7 445 scores 26936, which is 0.4% lower, again a negligible difference. The Intel Core i5-14400T scores 27166, 0.4% higher, and the Intel Core i7-1370P scores 26900, 0.6% lower. In practical terms for Lockdown Protocol, any of these CPUs would deliver nearly identical frame rates to the 5700G, since the delta percentages are all under 1%. The 5700G’s percentile ranking of 79 among all CPUs places it in the upper tier, and these rivals cluster around the same performance level.

For the GPU, the AMD Radeon RX 7600 has an average benchmark score of 15171, and its nearest rivals show similar clustering. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 OEM scores 15199, 0.2% higher, making it the closest competitor.
