Lockdown Protocol

The AMD Ryzen 7 5700G paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 delivers a highly capable Lockdown Protocol experience, with measured performance scaling cleanly from a locked 60 FPS at 4K to nearly 100 FPS at 1080p on the most demanding preset. Benchmark results place this combo at rank 1579 out of 3714 tested configurations, putting it in the upper-middle tier of all systems evaluated for this FPS title. The data is measured, not estimated, and confirms that the combination of a Zen 3 8-core CPU with an Ampere-based GPU handles the game’s demands without falling below the playable threshold of 60 FPS in any of the three resolutions tested, except at 4K Ultra.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 3840x2160, the RTX 3070 paired with the 5700G shows a clear ceiling for the most aggressive settings. Ultra preset averages 46.1 FPS, which falls short of the 60 FPS playable threshold; this is the only configuration in the entire dataset that misses the mark. Dropping to High settings yields a playable 61.1 FPS average, a gain of 15 FPS over Ultra. Medium pushes further to 73 FPS, and Low settings reach 100 FPS. The scaling from Ultra to Low at 4K represents a 53.9 FPS swing, indicating that the GPU is the primary limiter at this resolution, as the CPU has ample headroom with its 16 threads and 3DMark max-thread score of 6627.

At 2560x1440, the story improves substantially. Ultra settings average 74.2 FPS, comfortably above the playable threshold, while High delivers 96.4 FPS. Medium reaches 112.8 FPS, and Low scales to 157.6 FPS. The gap between Ultra and Low here is 83.4 FPS, showing that resolution reduction eases the GPU load significantly, but the CPU still keeps pace. The jump from 4K Ultra to 1440p Ultra is 28.1 FPS, a 60.9% improvement, which highlights how pixel count dominates this game’s rendering cost.

At 1920x1080, the combo truly shines. Ultra averages 98.2 FPS, High hits 133 FPS, Medium reaches 156.1 FPS, and Low tops out at 216 FPS. The difference between 1080p Ultra and 1440p Ultra is 24 FPS, while the difference between 1080p Low and 1440p Low is 58.4 FPS. This suggests that at 1080p, the CPU begins to matter more, as the RTX 3070 has enough raw throughput to exceed 200 FPS on Low, but the 5700G’s single-thread score of 899 in 3DMark and Cinebench R23 single-core score of 1494 may start to cap extreme frame rates. Still, every preset at 1080p remains well above 60 FPS, with the lowest being Ultra at 98.2 FPS.

Similar Performance Alternatives

The CPU’s nearest rivals, based on average benchmark scores, show that the 5700G sits in a tight performance cluster. The Intel Core i9-9900K posts an average score of 27097, a delta of -0.2% relative to the 5700G’s 27051, meaning the two are effectively identical in synthetic multi-threaded workloads. The AMD Ryzen AI 7 445 scores 26936, which is 0.4% lower, while the Intel Core i5-14400T scores 27166, 0.4% higher. The Intel Core i7-1370P rounds out the group at 26900, 0.6% lower. For Lockdown Protocol, swapping the 5700G for any of these CPUs would yield nearly indistinguishable frame rates, as the game’s CPU load at 1080p Ultra appears to be well within the capabilities of all these processors, given their similar aggregate scores.

On the GPU side, the RTX 3070’s nearest rivals present a more varied picture. The AMD Radeon RX 7600 XT scores 17083, which is 0.7% higher than the RTX 3070’s 17208 average. This suggests the RX 7600 XT would deliver essentially identical FPS in Lockdown Protocol, making it a direct alternative for buyers. The NVIDIA GeForce GTX 690 scores 17037, 1% lower, and the AMD Radeon HD 7970M scores 17019, 1.1% lower. These older cards would likely perform within a few frames per second of the RTX 3070 in this title, though their driver support and feature sets differ. The NVIDIA Tesla K40c scores 17468, 1.5% higher, but as a compute-focused card, its gaming relevance is questionable despite the synthetic score. In practice, the RX 7600 XT is the only modern peer worth considering for Lockdown Protocol.

Best Settings per Resolution

At 3840x2160, the most demanding preset that maintains at least 60 FPS is High, with an average of 61.1 FPS. This is a marginal margin of just 1.1 FPS above the threshold, so players seeking headroom might prefer Medium at 73 FPS, but High is technically the best playable setting. Ultra is not viable at 46.1 FPS.

At 2560x1440, the best settings are Ultra, averaging 74.2 FPS. This is a comfortable 14.2 FPS above the 60 FPS threshold, and the data shows that all four presets—Low at 157.6, Medium at 112.8, High at 96.4, and Ultra at 74.2—are playable. Choosing Ultra maximizes visual quality without sacrificing smoothness.

At 1920x1080, Ultra is again the best setting, with an average of 98.2 FPS. This is 38.2 FPS above the playable threshold, indicating that the combo has significant headroom even at the highest preset. Low settings reach 216 FPS, which is useful for competitive play, but for visual fidelity, Ultra is the clear choice. The verdict data confirms these picks, listing High as the best at 4K and Ultra at both 1440p and 1080p.

CPU and GPU Roles

Examining the FPS scaling across resolutions reveals a clear division of labor. At 3840x2160, the GPU is the dominant factor. The RTX 3070’s 8 GB of GDDR6 memory and 448.0 GB/s bandwidth are taxed heavily by the 4K pixel count, as evidenced by the drop from 100 FPS on Low to 46.1 FPS on Ultra. The CPU, with its 16 MB of L3 cache and 3DMark 16-thread score of 6629, has little trouble keeping up, as even the most demanding 4K preset only requires enough draw calls to sustain 46 FPS. The 53.9 FPS difference between Low and Ultra at 4K is almost entirely GPU-bound.

At 2560x1440, the balance shifts slightly. The GPU still leads, but the CPU’s role grows. The 83.4 FPS gap between Low (157.6) and Ultra (74.2) shows that the GPU is still the primary constraint, but the fact that Ultra maintains 74.2 FPS—a 28.1 FPS improvement over 4K Ultra—indicates that reducing pixel count by 56% (from 8.3 million to 3.7 million pixels) disproportionately benefits the GPU, allowing the CPU to feed it more frames. The CPU’s 3DMark 8-thread score of 5648 and 4-thread score of 3389 are sufficient to avoid bottlenecking at these rates.

At 1920x1080, the CPU begins to assert itself. The 216 FPS average on Low settings approaches the limits of what the 5700G can produce, given its single-thread score of 899 in 3DMark and 3283 in Passmark. The 117.8 FPS difference between Low and Ultra at 1080p is smaller in absolute terms than at 1440p (83.4 FPS) despite the lower resolution, which suggests that at 1080p, the GPU is no longer the sole limiter; the CPU’s ability to process game logic and issue draw calls becomes a factor. The 98.2 FPS Ultra result is still highly playable, but pushing beyond 216 FPS on Low would likely see diminishing returns from the CPU. Across all resolutions, the pattern is consistent: the RTX 3070 handles the rasterization load, while the 5700G’s eight Zen 3 cores provide enough single-threaded and multi-threaded throughput to keep frame rates high, but the CPU’s influence is most pronounced at 1080p where the GPU has spare capacity.

How This Combo Ranks

The combo ranks 1579 out of 3714 tested configurations, placing it in the upper 42.5% of all systems benchmarked for Lockdown Protocol. This is a respectable position, given that the RTX 3070 is an end-of-life product and the 5700G is a generation-old CPU with integrated graphics that are not used in this configuration. The rank reflects the combo’s ability to handle 1440p Ultra and 1080p Ultra without issue, while 4K requires a preset drop from Ultra to High. Compared to the CPU’s percentile of 79 (meaning it outperforms 79% of all CPUs) and the GPU’s percentile of 61, the in-game rank of 42.5% is lower than either component’s standalone percentile, indicating that Lockdown Protocol is a demanding title that stresses the GPU more than the CPU. The gap between the CPU’s strong 79th percentile and the combo’s 42.5th percentile suggests that the RTX 3070, despite its solid 61st percentile, is the limiting factor for higher ranks, particularly at 4K where the GPU’s 8 GB memory and 20.31 TFLOPS of FP32 compute are insufficient for Ultra settings. Systems ranked above this combo likely feature GPUs with higher memory bandwidth or more shading units, allowing them to maintain 60 FPS at 4K Ultra. For the 5700G and RTX 3070, the data shows that this is a balanced pairing for 1080p and 1440p gaming, with 4K Ultra as the only compromise.
