Lockdown Protocol

The AMD Ryzen 7 5700G paired with the AMD Radeon RX 9070 places this combination at rank 1091 out of 3714 tested combos for Lockdown Protocol. This places the combo comfortably in the upper third of all tested configurations, indicating that the pairing delivers a strong experience relative to the broader hardware landscape. The percentile positions of the individual components reinforce this: the Ryzen 7 5700G sits at the 79th percentile among all CPUs, while the RX 9070 lands at the 69th percentile among all GPUs. The rank of the full combo suggests that the system is well-balanced for this title, with no single component dragging the overall result down to a degree that would place the build in the middle or lower tiers of the tested pool.

How This Combo Ranks

The combo’s rank of 1091 out of 3714 places it in the 70th percentile of all tested combinations for Lockdown Protocol. This means that roughly 70% of the tested configurations will deliver lower average frame rates, while about 30% will outperform it. The ranking is a strong indicator that the system is not merely capable of running the game, but does so with a comfortable margin over a majority of alternatives. The CPU’s 79th percentile standing among all processors suggests that the Ryzen 7 5700G provides a solid foundation for the GPU to work with, and the GPU’s 69th percentile standing indicates that the RX 9070 is a competent partner that does not bottleneck the system at most settings. The data shows a notable consistency between the component-level percentiles and the combo-level rank, implying that the pairing scales well together in this FPS title.

Best Settings per Resolution

At 3840x2160, the most demanding preset that remains at or above 60 FPS is High, which delivers an average of 71.9 FPS. The Medium preset runs at 81.3 FPS and Low at 116.4 FPS, but High is the highest visual quality option that clears the playable threshold. Ultra falls below the mark at 55.9 FPS, so it is not recommended at this resolution. At 2560x1440, the situation improves considerably; Ultra is playable with an average of 84.8 FPS, making it the best settings choice. High runs at 109.6 FPS, Medium at 126.3 FPS, and Low at 180.7 FPS, but Ultra offers the full visual experience while still staying well above 60 FPS. At 1920x1080, Ultra is also the best settings option, delivering an average of 113.7 FPS. This leaves a large headroom above the 60 FPS threshold, with High at 153.6 FPS, Medium at 176.5 FPS, and Low reaching 245.5 FPS.

CPU and GPU Roles

The data reveals how the balance between CPU and GPU shifts across resolutions. At 1920x1080, the system achieves 245.5 FPS on Low settings, which is the highest average recorded across all tests. This high frame rate on the lowest preset indicates that the GPU is not heavily taxed at this resolution, and the CPU plays a more prominent role in maintaining these elevated frame rates. Moving from Low to Ultra at 1080p, the frame rate drops from 245.5 to 113.7 FPS, a reduction of 131.8 FPS. This scaling suggests that the GPU becomes more involved as settings increase, but the CPU still has ample headroom to keep the system from being limited at this resolution. At 2560x1440, the Low preset produces 180.7 FPS, while Ultra drops to 84.8 FPS. The gap between Low and Ultra narrows in absolute terms compared to 1080p, but the frame rates remain high across the board. The transition to 3840x2160 shows a more pronounced GPU dependency: Low yields 116.4 FPS, but Ultra falls to 55.9 FPS, which is below the playable threshold. At 4K, the GPU is clearly the limiting factor, as even Medium drops to 81.3 FPS and High to 71.9 FPS. The scaling from 1080p Low to 4K Low shows a reduction from 245.5 to 116.4 FPS, a 52.6% drop, which is a direct consequence of the increased pixel count. Between 1440p and 4K at Ultra, the drop is from 84.8 to 55.9 FPS, a 34.1% reduction, further demonstrating that the GPU’s rendering load is the primary constraint at higher resolutions. The CPU’s 8 cores and 16 threads provide a stable base, but the data indicates that for Lockdown Protocol, the GPU is the dominant factor at 4K, while the CPU holds more influence at 1080p.

Similar Performance Alternatives

The nearest rivals for the CPU offer a clear picture of what other processors would behave similarly. The Intel Core i9-9900K has an average score of 27097, which is 0.2% lower than the Ryzen 7 5700G’s 27051. This means the two CPUs are effectively interchangeable for this game, with a performance difference that falls within a negligible margin. The AMD Ryzen AI 7 445 scores 26936, which is 0.4% higher than the 5700G, again a trivial difference. The Intel Core i5-14400T scores 27166, which is 0.4% lower than the 5700G, and the Intel Core i7-1370P scores 26900, which is 0.6% higher. All four rivals are within a 1% band of the 5700G’s average score, so swapping in any of these processors would yield nearly identical frame rates in Lockdown Protocol. For the GPU, the NVIDIA GeForce GTX TITAN Z has an average score of 23736, which is 0.6% higher than the RX 9070’s 23877. The AMD Radeon RX 6800S scores 24063, which is 0.8% lower than the RX 9070, while the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 Mobile scores 23628, which is 1.1% higher, and the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER scores 24170, which is 1.2% lower. These deltas are all under 1.2%, meaning that any of these GPUs would produce very similar average frame rates in this title, though the RX 9070 holds a slight edge over most of them in aggregate score.

The Verdict

The data shows that this PC can run Lockdown Protocol with a clear pass at all three tested resolutions, though the ceiling for visual quality varies. At 1920x1080, all four presets clear the 60 FPS threshold, with Ultra averaging 113.7 FPS and Low reaching 245.5 FPS. The system has substantial headroom at 1080p, making it suitable for high-refresh-rate displays. At 2560x1440, Ultra is playable at 84.8 FPS, and all other presets run at or above 109.6 FPS, so the system handles 1440p with ease. At 3840x2160, the system is still capable, but the highest playable preset is High at 71.9 FPS. Ultra at 4K falls just short of the 60 FPS threshold at 55.9 FPS, so users seeking maximum visuals at 4K would need to accept a lower preset. Overall, the verdict is positive: the combo delivers a playable experience at 1080p and 1440p on the highest settings, and at 4K on High settings, with the caveat that Ultra at 4K requires a reduction in quality.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 3840x2160, the system produces an average of 116.4 FPS on Low, 81.3 FPS on Medium, 71.9 FPS on High, and 55.9 FPS on Ultra. The gap between Low and Ultra is 60.5 FPS, showing a steep drop as settings increase. At 2560x1440, the averages are 180.7 FPS on Low, 126.3 FPS on Medium, 109.6 FPS on High, and 84.8 FPS on Ultra. The spread from Low to Ultra is 95.9 FPS, indicating that the GPU handles the resolution increase with less proportional loss than at 4K. At 1920x1080, the averages are 245.5 FPS on Low, 176.5 FPS on Medium, 153.6 FPS on High, and 113.7 FPS on Ultra. The difference between Low and Ultra at 1080p is 131.8 FPS, which is the largest absolute gap across all resolutions. The data does not include minimum or maximum frame rate values, so the analysis relies solely on average FPS. The overall pattern is consistent: higher resolutions and higher settings both reduce average FPS, with the most demanding combination—4K Ultra—being the only tested configuration that fails to reach the 60 FPS threshold.
