Lockdown Protocol

The AMD Ryzen 7 5700G paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 Ti ranks 961st out of 3,714 tested combinations for Lockdown Protocol. This places the combo in the upper quartile of all tested systems, indicating that while it is not at the absolute top tier of performance, it delivers well above the median experience. The percentile rankings of the individual components support this: the CPU sits at the 79th percentile among all tested processors, while the GPU lands at the 83rd percentile among all tested graphics cards. The combination of a high-percentile GPU with a moderately high-percentile CPU creates a system that is well-balanced for this FPS title, though the rank suggests that some combinations with newer or higher-end CPUs will pull ahead in CPU-bound scenarios.

How This Combo Ranks

The combo’s rank of 961 out of 3,714 tested combinations means it outperforms roughly 74% of all tested systems in Lockdown Protocol. This is a strong showing for a mid-generation CPU paired with a high-end GPU. The data indicates that the RTX 3080 Ti is the primary driver of this ranking, as its 83rd percentile standing among all GPUs is notably higher than the CPU’s 79th percentile. In practice, this means the system will frequently hit frame rates that exceed the 60 FPS playable threshold, but it will not match the very highest-performing combos that pair the same GPU with faster CPUs like the Intel Core i9-9900K or AMD Ryzen AI 7 445, both of which are near-neighbors to the 5700G in CPU benchmarks.

The CPU’s average benchmark score of 27,051 is nearly identical to its nearest rivals: the Intel Core i9-9900K scores 27,097 (only 0.2% higher), the Intel Core i5-14400T scores 27,166 (0.4% higher), and the AMD Ryzen AI 7 445 scores 26,936 (0.4% lower). This clustering shows that the 5700G is squarely in a performance band where small differences in CPU capability will not dramatically alter in-game results. Meanwhile, the GPU’s average benchmark score of 41,187 is within 2% of its nearest rivals, including the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 (40,377, 2% lower) and the AMD Radeon Pro 5300 (40,870, 0.8% lower). The overall combo rank reflects this balance: strong GPU performance lifts the system above many CPU-heavy combinations, but the CPU prevents it from reaching the top 25% of all tested setups.

CPU and GPU Roles

The benchmark data reveals a clear shift in component responsibility as resolution changes. At 1920x1080, the system achieves 258 FPS on Low settings, which drops to 120 FPS on Ultra settings. This 138 FPS gap between presets demonstrates that the GPU is heavily taxed by graphical settings even at lower resolutions. However, the CPU’s role becomes more apparent when comparing resolution scaling. At Low settings, moving from 1080p (258 FPS) to 1440p (190 FPS) is a 26% drop, and to 4K (122 FPS) is a 53% drop from 1080p. This scaling pattern suggests that at Low settings, the GPU is still the limiting factor, as frame rates decrease substantially with pixel count.

At Ultra settings, the pattern changes. The system produces 120 FPS at 1080p, 88 FPS at 1440p, and 57 FPS at 4K. The drop from 1080p to 1440p is 27%, while the drop from 1440p to 4K is 35%. This steeper decline at higher resolutions indicates that the GPU becomes progressively more dominant as pixel count increases. Conversely, at 1080p with High settings (161 FPS), the CPU’s eight cores and 16 threads are sufficient to keep the GPU well-fed, as evidenced by the fact that frame rates remain far above the 60 FPS threshold. The data shows that the RTX 3080 Ti is the performance bottleneck in most scenarios, but the 5700G’s single-thread performance (3DMark single-thread score of 899) ensures that it does not hold the GPU back at lower resolutions. At 4K Ultra, the GPU’s raw compute limits the system to 57 FPS, a figure that no CPU change could meaningfully improve.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 3840x2160, the system delivers an average of 57 FPS on Ultra settings, which falls below the 60 FPS playable threshold. Medium settings raise the average to 87 FPS with a minimum of 74 FPS and a maximum of 100 FPS. High settings produce 76 FPS on average, while Low settings jump to 122 FPS. The data shows that 4K gaming is viable, but only at High or lower presets; Ultra settings are not playable at this resolution.

At 2560x1440, all presets clear the 60 FPS threshold. Ultra settings average 88 FPS, High settings reach 118 FPS, Medium settings hit 135 FPS (with a minimum of 115 FPS and maximum of 155 FPS), and Low settings top out at 190 FPS. The gap between Ultra and Low is 102 FPS, indicating that graphical fidelity has a substantial impact on performance at this resolution, but the GPU has enough headroom to maintain smooth gameplay even at the highest preset.

At 1920x1080, the system shows its strongest performance. Ultra settings average 120 FPS, High settings reach 161 FPS, Medium settings hit 184 FPS (minimum 156 FPS, maximum 211 FPS), and Low settings peak at 258 FPS. The 1080p Ultra result is exactly double the 4K Ultra result, underscoring how resolution scaling affects the GPU. The minimum FPS figures at Medium settings (156 FPS at 1080p, 115 FPS at 1440p, and 74 FPS at 4K) all stay well above the 60 FPS threshold, indicating consistent frame delivery without severe dips.

The Verdict

Yes, this PC can run Lockdown Protocol, and it does so with significant headroom at most settings. The verdict by resolution is clear: at 1920x1080, every preset from Low to Ultra clears 60 FPS, with Ultra delivering 120 FPS on average. At 2560x1440, all four presets also clear 60 FPS, with Ultra averaging 88 FPS. At 3840x2160, the system clears 60 FPS on Low (122 FPS), Medium (87 FPS), and High (76 FPS) settings, but falls short on Ultra (57 FPS). The playable settings for 4K are therefore High, Medium, and Low, with High being the best choice for visual quality while maintaining a comfortable margin above the threshold. For users prioritizing maximum fidelity, 1440p Ultra is the highest preset that stays well above 60 FPS, and 1080p Ultra offers the smoothest experience at the highest settings.

Best Settings per Resolution

At 3840x2160, the most demanding preset that stays at or above 60 FPS is High, with an average of 76 FPS. Medium settings are also playable at 87 FPS, but High offers better visual quality while still maintaining a 16 FPS margin above the threshold. At 2560x1440, Ultra is the best choice, averaging 88 FPS. This is the highest preset available and it clears the 60 FPS threshold by a wide margin. At 1920x1080, Ultra is also the best setting, with an average of 120 FPS. This provides the maximum visual quality while delivering exactly double the playable threshold, ensuring smooth gameplay even during intense scenes.

Similar Performance Alternatives

For the CPU, the nearest rivals in benchmark performance are the Intel Core i9-9900K, the AMD Ryzen AI 7 445, the Intel Core i5-14400T, and the Intel Core i7-1370P. The i9-9900K scores 27,097, which is 0.2% higher than the 5700G, meaning it would perform nearly identically in CPU-bound scenarios. The i5-14400T scores 27,166 (0.4% higher), while the Ryzen AI 7 445 scores 26,936 (0.4% lower) and the i7-1370P scores 26,900 (0.6% lower). All four rivals fall within a 1% performance band of the 5700G, so users upgrading from or to any of these CPUs should see no meaningful difference in Lockdown Protocol frame rates.

For the GPU, the nearest rivals are the AMD Radeon Pro 5300, the NVIDIA Tesla M40 24 GB, the NVIDIA Tesla M40, and the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070. The RTX 5070 scores 40,377, which is 2% lower than the RTX 3080 Ti, making it a slightly slower but comparable alternative. The Radeon Pro 5300 scores 40,870 (0.8% lower), while the Tesla M40 24 GB scores 41,707 (1.2% higher) and the Tesla M40 scores 41,897 (1.7% higher). These workstation-oriented cards would produce similar frame rates in Lockdown Protocol, though their driver and feature support may differ from the consumer-focused RTX 3080 Ti. The performance deltas are small enough that any of these GPUs paired with the 5700G would yield a comparable gaming experience in this title.
