Lockdown Protocol

The AMD Ryzen 7 5700G and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070 SUPER combination delivers a wide range of performance in Lockdown Protocol, scaling predictably across resolutions and presets. The recorded data shows a system that is clearly capable of high-refresh-rate play at 1080p, remains smooth at 1440p with adjusted settings, and only faces significant limitations at 4K. This analysis breaks down the measured frame rates, contextualizes the ranking, and provides actionable settings guidance based solely on the database measurements.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the combination performs strongly across all presets. With Low settings, the average frame rate reaches 175.9 FPS, indicating a massive headroom for competitive play. Medium settings drop the average to 125.6 FPS, still well above any standard display refresh rate. High settings produce an average of 110.8 FPS, a modest reduction from Medium that suggests the GPU is handling the increased visual load efficiently. Even at Ultra settings, the average remains at 79.5 FPS, which clears the 60 FPS playable threshold by a comfortable margin. The progression from Low to Ultra shows a total drop of 96.4 FPS, or roughly 55% of the Low setting performance, demonstrating that the visual quality slider has a substantial impact on frame delivery.

Moving to 2560x1440, the performance profile shifts downward but remains solid. Low settings deliver an average of 128.1 FPS, which is still excellent for high-refresh-rate monitors. Medium settings reduce this to 91.4 FPS, a 28.7% decrease from Low. High settings average 80.4 FPS, maintaining smooth gameplay. Ultra settings, however, drop to 58.6 FPS, which falls just short of the 60 FPS playable threshold. The delta between Low and Ultra at this resolution is 69.5 FPS, showing that the higher pixel count amplifies the cost of the most demanding preset.

At 3840x2160, the system struggles to maintain high frame rates at the heavier presets. Low settings average 84.6 FPS, which is playable and smooth. Medium settings drop to 56.4 FPS, slightly below the 60 FPS threshold. High settings average 49.9 FPS, and Ultra settings fall further to 37.1 FPS. The gap between Low and Ultra at 4K is 47.5 FPS, a dramatic reduction that highlights the GPU's limits at this resolution. The data shows that only the Low preset at 4K stays comfortably above the playable threshold, while all other presets fall short.

The measurements across all resolutions show a consistent pattern: the RTX 2070 SUPER has enough power for 1080p and 1440p at most settings, but 4K requires significant compromises in visual quality to maintain playable frame rates.

How This Combo Ranks

The database places this specific CPU and GPU pairing at rank 2268 out of 3714 tested combinations for Lockdown Protocol. This percentile position, roughly the 61st percentile, indicates that the combo sits in the upper-middle tier of all tested systems. It outperforms a substantial portion of the database, though it is not near the top tier of configurations.

The ranking reflects a balance between the CPU and GPU. The Ryzen 7 5700G, with its 8 cores and 16 threads, provides strong multi-threaded performance that supports modern game engines. The RTX 2070 SUPER, while an older generation GPU, still delivers competitive rasterization performance. The combined result places this system ahead of many older or lower-tier pairings but behind the highest-end current hardware.

In context, a rank of 2268 out of 3714 means the system is better positioned than roughly 39% of tested combos. This is not a top-tier configuration, but it is far from a weak one. The measured frame rates confirm that the ranking is appropriate: the system handles 1080p and 1440p well, struggles at 4K with high presets, and overall provides a solid experience for Lockdown Protocol.

CPU and GPU Roles

The scaling between resolutions and presets reveals which component dominates performance in Lockdown Protocol. At 1920x1080, the frame rate varies significantly with the settings preset, from 175.9 FPS at Low to 79.5 FPS at Ultra. This wide spread indicates that the GPU is the primary bottleneck at this resolution, as changing visual quality directly impacts rendering load. The CPU, with its 8 cores and 16 threads, has ample headroom to feed the GPU at these frame rates.

At 2560x1440, the pattern continues but with a narrower range. Low settings produce 128.1 FPS, while Ultra drops to 58.6 FPS. The GPU is still the limiting factor, as the higher resolution increases the pixel fill rate demand. The CPU's role remains supportive, providing enough processing power to avoid becoming a bottleneck at these frame rates.

At 3840x2160, the GPU's dominance becomes even more pronounced. Even at Low settings, the average frame rate drops to 84.6 FPS, and Ultra falls to 37.1 FPS. The massive pixel count at 4K puts extreme pressure on the GPU's memory bandwidth of 448.0 GB/s and its shading units. The CPU, by contrast, has more than enough capacity, since the frame rates are lower and the per-frame CPU work is likely similar to lower resolutions.

The data indicates that Lockdown Protocol is heavily GPU-bound at all tested resolutions. The CPU scaling from 1080p to 4K is minimal in terms of frame rate impact, while the GPU scaling is substantial. This means that users with this pairing should focus on GPU settings to achieve higher frame rates, as the CPU is unlikely to be the limiting factor at any resolution or preset.

The Verdict

Can this PC run Lockdown Protocol? The answer depends on the resolution and the acceptable visual preset. The database's verdict is clear: at 1920x1080, all four presets (Low, Medium, High, Ultra) are playable, with the lowest average at Ultra being 79.5 FPS, well above the 60 FPS threshold. This makes 1080p the sweet spot for this combination, allowing users to max out the settings while maintaining smooth gameplay.

At 2560x1440, three of the four presets are playable: Low at 128.1 FPS, Medium at 91.4 FPS, and High at 80.4 FPS. Ultra falls just short at 58.6 FPS, so users at this resolution should stick to High or lower to stay above 60 FPS. The margin at High is substantial, leaving room for other system loads.

At 3840x2160, only the Low preset is playable, averaging 84.6 FPS. Medium at 56.4 FPS, High at 49.9 FPS, and Ultra at 37.1 FPS all fall below the threshold. Users with a 4K display must accept Low settings to maintain playable frame rates, or consider lowering the resolution to 1440p.

Overall, this system is fully capable of running Lockdown Protocol at 1080p with maximum settings, and at 1440p with High settings. It is not suitable for 4K gaming beyond Low settings. The verdict is positive for most users, as 1080p and 1440p are the most common gaming resolutions.
