Lockdown Protocol

Measured FPS Breakdown

The recorded data for Lockdown Protocol with the AMD Ryzen 7 5700G and NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1070 spans three resolutions and four quality presets. All measurements are average frame rates, with minimum and maximum values not recorded in this dataset.

At 1920x1080, the combo delivers its strongest performance. The Low preset averages 129.4 FPS, which is the highest recorded figure across the entire test matrix. Medium follows with 90.6 FPS, High with 82.3 FPS, and Ultra drops to 59.7 FPS. The gap between Low and Medium is 38.8 FPS, while the gap between Medium and High is only 8.3 FPS. The step from High to Ultra costs 22.6 FPS, showing that the Ultra preset imposes a significant additional load even at this resolution.

Moving to 2560x1440, all presets see a noticeable reduction. Low averages 93.5 FPS, a 27.8% drop from the 1080p Low figure. Medium averages 69.7 FPS, High averages 56.7 FPS, and Ultra falls to 42.3 FPS. The relative ordering remains consistent with 1080p, but the spacing between presets widens: the Low-to-Medium gap is 23.8 FPS, Medium-to-High is 13.0 FPS, and High-to-Ultra is 14.4 FPS. This suggests that at 1440p, each preset step exerts a more uniform performance penalty.

At 3840x2160, the results show the heaviest workload. Low still manages 64.9 FPS, which is the only preset at this resolution to clear the 60 FPS threshold. Medium averages 42.6 FPS, High averages 35.6 FPS, and Ultra averages 31.7 FPS. The drop from Low to Medium is 22.3 FPS, from Medium to High is 7.0 FPS, and from High to Ultra is 3.9 FPS. As resolution climbs, the incremental cost of raising quality settings diminishes in absolute terms, but the starting point (Low) is already far below the 1080p baseline.

CPU and GPU Roles

The data indicates that the GTX 1070 is the primary constraint as resolution increases. At 1080p Low, the system produces 129.4 FPS, which is high enough that the CPU may still have headroom, but the rapid decline at higher resolutions points to GPU-bound behavior.

Comparing 1080p to 1440p at the same preset, the Low setting drops from 129.4 to 93.5 FPS, a reduction of 35.9 FPS. Medium drops from 90.6 to 69.7 FPS, a reduction of 20.9 FPS. High drops from 82.3 to 56.7 FPS, a reduction of 25.6 FPS. Ultra drops from 59.7 to 42.3 FPS, a reduction of 17.4 FPS. The consistent double-digit losses across all presets confirm that pixel count is the dominant variable.

From 1440p to 2160p, the trend accelerates. Low drops from 93.5 to 64.9 FPS, a 28.6 FPS loss. Medium drops from 69.7 to 42.6 FPS, a 27.1 FPS loss. High drops from 56.7 to 35.6 FPS, a 21.1 FPS loss. Ultra drops from 42.3 to 31.7 FPS, a 10.6 FPS loss. At 4K, even the Low preset is close to the 60 FPS line, and the GPU's memory bandwidth of 256.3 GB/s and 8 GB GDDR5 capacity are likely being saturated.

The Ryzen 7 5700G, with 8 cores and 16 threads, has a multi-thread benchmark score of 12830.5 in Cinebench R23 and a PassMark multithread score of 24419. Its percentile versus all CPUs is 79, indicating it sits above most desktop processors. However, the game's frame rates at 1440p and 2160p do not suggest CPU limitation, since the FPS scales strongly with resolution. If the CPU were the bottleneck, resolution changes would produce smaller FPS differences. The data shows the opposite: the GTX 1070's fill rate and shader throughput are the limiting factors at higher resolutions.

At 1080p Ultra, the 59.7 FPS result is just below the playable threshold, and the 82.3 FPS at High suggests the GPU is still the main constraint. The CPU's single-thread performance, with a Cinebench R23 score of 1494 and a 3DMark single-thread score of 899, is sufficient to feed the GPU at these frame rates. No recorded data indicates a CPU bottleneck, so the analysis centers on GPU scaling.

How This Combo Ranks

Within the database, this CPU and GPU combination ranks 3112 out of 3714 tested combos for Lockdown Protocol. That places it in the lower 16% of all recorded configurations, meaning approximately 84% of tested systems achieve higher average frame rates in this game.

The rank reflects the GPU's age and tier more than the CPU. The GTX 1070 has a percentile of 47 versus all GPUs, placing it just below the median. Its PassMark G3D score is 13498, and its 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score is 1082. The CPU, by contrast, has a percentile of 79, which is well above average. The combination of a strong CPU with a mid-tier GPU results in a system that is held back by graphics performance in most scenarios.

The combo rank of 3112 means that for Lockdown Protocol, the recorded frame rates are lower than what most other combinations deliver. However, the game is playable at several settings, so the rank does not imply failure, only that many alternatives produce higher FPS.

Best Settings per Resolution

At 3840x2160, the only preset that maintains an average of at least 60 FPS is Low, with a recorded average of 64.9 FPS. This is the recommended setting for 4K play.

At 2560x1440, the Medium preset delivers an average of 69.7 FPS, which is the highest quality setting that stays above the 60 FPS line. Low also works at 93.5 FPS, but Medium offers better visual quality without dropping below the threshold.

At 1920x1080, the High preset averages 82.3 FPS, making it the most demanding preset that remains playable. Ultra falls to 59.7 FPS, which misses the 60 FPS target by a narrow margin. For users who prioritize frame rate headroom, Low and Medium are also viable, with 129.4 FPS and 90.6 FPS respectively.

The Verdict

This PC can run Lockdown Protocol, but the playable range depends heavily on resolution and settings. The playable threshold is 60 FPS, and the verdict by resolution is as follows.

At 3840x2160, the system is playable only on the Low preset, with an average of 64.9 FPS. Medium, High, and Ultra all fall below 60 FPS, so 4K gaming requires significant quality compromises.

At 2560x1440, the system is playable on Low and Medium, with averages of 93.5 FPS and 69.7 FPS. High and Ultra are not playable at this resolution.

At 1920x1080, the system is playable on High, Low, and Medium, with averages of 82.3 FPS, 129.4 FPS, and 90.6 FPS. Ultra is borderline at 59.7 FPS, just under the threshold.

The overall picture is that this combo delivers smooth gameplay at 1080p with high settings, at 1440p with medium settings, and at 4K only with low settings. The GPU is the limiting factor at higher resolutions, while the CPU provides more than enough processing power for this title.

Similar Performance Alternatives

The CPU's nearest rivals in the database, based on average benchmark scores, include the Intel Core i9-9900K with an average score of 27097 and a delta of -0.2%, the AMD Ryzen AI 7 445 with a score of 26936 and a delta of 0.4%, the Intel Core i5-14400T with a score of 27166 and a delta of -0.4%, and the Intel Core i7-1370P with a score of 26900 and a delta of 0.6%. Any of these processors would produce nearly identical CPU-side behavior in Lockdown Protocol, since their aggregate performance is within 1% of the Ryzen 7 5700G.

The GPU's nearest rivals include the AMD FirePro W5000 with an average score of 9803 and a delta of -0.2%, the NVIDIA Quadro M2000M with a score of 9832 and a delta of -0.5%, the NVIDIA Tesla M10 with a score of 9724 and a delta of 0.6%, and the NVIDIA Tesla C2070 with a score of 9716 and a delta of 0.7%. These GPUs are all professional or workstation parts, but their benchmark scores place them within a narrow band of the GTX 1070. In practical terms, swapping to any of these would yield similar frame rates in this game, within the margins of measurement noise.

The data suggests that users seeking comparable performance in Lockdown Protocol should look for hardware with aggregate benchmark scores in the range of 9700 to 9800 for the GPU and 26900 to 27200 for the CPU. The recorded frame rates for this combo are representative of that performance class.
