Lockdown Protocol

How This Combo Ranks

The AMD Ryzen 7 5700G paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 SUPER lands at rank 2630 out of 3714 tested combos in Lockdown Protocol. That places this configuration in the lower third of the database, which is a notable result for a CPU that sits at the 79th percentile among all processors and a GPU that sits at the 62nd percentile among all GPUs. The combination of a strong eight-core processor with a mid-range Turing graphics card produces playable frame rates at 1080p and 1440p, but it falls short of the 60 FPS threshold at 4K on most settings.

The recorded data shows that this combo is not a high-end pairing, but it is far from inadequate. At 1920x1080, the system delivers 74 FPS on Ultra settings, which clears the 60 FPS playable threshold with a comfortable margin. At 2560x1440, the best playable setting is High with 72 FPS, and at 3840x2160, only Low settings reach a playable average of 75 FPS. The rank of 2630 out of 3714 reflects this pattern: capable at standard resolutions, limited at 4K.

What matters most for Lockdown Protocol is that the RTX 2060 SUPER has enough raw throughput to handle the game's demands at lower resolutions, while the Ryzen 7 5700G provides sufficient multi-threaded performance to avoid bottlenecking. The CPU's 3DMark max-thread score of 6627 and Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 12830.5 indicate a processor that can feed the GPU effectively in an FPS title. The GPU's PassMark G3D score of 16462 confirms it is a solid mid-range card, though its 62nd percentile ranking suggests it is not built for extreme settings at high resolutions.

CPU and GPU Roles

The balance between CPU and GPU shifts significantly depending on the resolution and preset. At 1920x1080 with Low settings, the combo reaches 159 FPS, which is the highest recorded average in the entire dataset. This suggests that at low resolution and low graphical load, the GPU is not the primary constraint; rather, the CPU's single-thread performance, reflected in a 3DMark single-thread score of 899 and a PassMark single-thread score of 3283, is what allows the frame rate to climb so high.

As resolution increases, the GPU becomes the dominant factor. Moving from 1920x1080 to 2560x1440 on High settings drops the average from 99 FPS to 72 FPS, a 27% reduction. Moving from 2560x1440 to 3840x2160 on High settings drops the average from 72 FPS to 47 FPS, a further 35% reduction. These scaling patterns indicate that the RTX 2060 SUPER's memory bandwidth of 448.0 GB/s and its 8 GB of GDDR6 memory are being taxed more heavily as pixel count rises.

Preset scaling tells a similar story. At 3840x2160, the difference between Low and Ultra is massive: 75 FPS versus 35 FPS, a 114% gap. At 2560x1440, Low produces 117 FPS while Ultra produces 54 FPS, a 117% gap. At 1920x1080, Low produces 159 FPS while Ultra produces 74 FPS, a 115% gap. The consistency of this scaling across resolutions suggests that the graphical settings have a uniform impact on the GPU workload, and the GPU's compute capabilities, rated at 7.181 TFLOPS FP32, are the limiting factor at higher presets.

The CPU's role is most visible at low settings and low resolutions, where the frame rates exceed what the GPU would typically deliver in a more demanding title. The Ryzen 7 5700G's 8 cores and 16 threads, combined with a boost clock of 4.60 GHz, provide enough headroom to push frame rates well above 100 FPS at 1080p on Low and Medium settings. However, once the GPU is stressed by higher resolutions or higher presets, the CPU's contribution becomes secondary.

Best Settings per Resolution

At 3840x2160, the only playable setting is Low, which delivers an average of 75 FPS. Medium settings drop to 53 FPS, below the 60 FPS threshold, and High falls to 47 FPS. Ultra is the worst at 35 FPS. For 4K gaming, the data clearly indicates that Low is the only viable option for maintaining smooth gameplay.

At 2560x1440, the best playable setting is High with an average of 72 FPS. Medium also clears the threshold at 83 FPS, and Low reaches 117 FPS, but High offers the best visual quality while staying above 60 FPS. Ultra falls short at 54 FPS, so it is not recommended at this resolution.

At 1920x1080, Ultra is the best playable setting with an average of 74 FPS. High reaches 99 FPS, Medium reaches 113 FPS, and Low reaches 159 FPS, but Ultra provides the highest visual fidelity while still maintaining a comfortable margin above the 60 FPS threshold. This makes 1080p the only resolution where the combo can run the game at maximum settings without dropping below playable frame rates.

Similar Performance Alternatives

The CPU's nearest rivals in the database include the Intel Core i9-9900K, which scores 27097 on average, a 0.2% difference from the Ryzen 7 5700G's 27051 average benchmark score. The AMD Ryzen AI 7 445 scores 26936, a 0.4% difference, and the Intel Core i5-14400T scores 27166, a 0.4% difference. These processors would behave nearly identically in Lockdown Protocol, delivering similar frame rates when paired with the same GPU.

The GPU's nearest rivals include the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 Mobile, which scores 18159 on average, a 0.4% difference from the RTX 2060 SUPER's 18093 average. The AMD Radeon Pro 5700 scores 18189, a 0.5% difference, and the AMD Radeon RX 460 scores 18373, a 1.5% difference. The Intel Arc A770M scores 18383, a 1.6% difference. Any of these GPUs paired with the Ryzen 7 5700G would produce frame rates within a few percent of the numbers recorded for the RTX 2060 SUPER.

For users considering alternative configurations, the data suggests that swapping the CPU for an i9-9900K or a Ryzen AI 7 445 would not materially change the gaming experience in Lockdown Protocol. Similarly, swapping the GPU for an RTX 3060 Mobile or a Radeon Pro 5700 would yield nearly identical performance. The RX 460 and Arc A770M are also close, but their slightly higher average scores suggest they might edge out the RTX 2060 SUPER by a small margin, though the delta remains under 2%.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 3840x2160, the measured frame rates are as follows: Low settings produce an average of 75 FPS with no recorded minimum or maximum values. Medium settings produce an average of 53 FPS, with a minimum of 45 FPS and a maximum of 62 FPS. High settings produce an average of 47 FPS with no recorded minimum or maximum. Ultra settings produce an average of 35 FPS with no recorded minimum or maximum. The Medium preset is the only one at 4K with min and max data, and its minimum of 45 FPS falls well below the playable threshold.

At 2560x1440, Low settings produce an average of 117 FPS. Medium settings produce an average of 83 FPS, with a minimum of 70 FPS and a maximum of 95 FPS. High settings produce an average of 72 FPS. Ultra settings produce an average of 54 FPS. The Medium preset at this resolution maintains a minimum above 60 FPS, which is a useful data point for users who prioritize frame time consistency over raw averages.

At 1920x1080, Low settings produce an average of 159 FPS. Medium settings produce an average of 113 FPS, with a minimum of 96 FPS and a maximum of 130 FPS. High settings produce an average of 99 FPS. Ultra settings produce an average of 74 FPS. The Medium preset at 1080p has a minimum of 96 FPS, which is well above the playable threshold and indicates that even in demanding scenes, the combo maintains high frame rates.

The overall pattern across all resolutions and presets is consistent: the combo performs best at low resolutions and low settings, with frame rates declining as both resolution and preset complexity increase. The minimum FPS data points, where available, show that the system does not experience severe drops below the average, which suggests stable performance in most scenarios.
