Lockdown Protocol

The AMD Ryzen 7 5700G paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 delivers a remarkably consistent performance profile across Lockdown Protocol, with the data showing that the combination is capable of exceeding the 60 FPS threshold at every tested resolution under most settings. The measured FPS values indicate a system that scales predictably, where the GPU’s Ada Lovelace architecture handles the rendering load efficiently, while the 8-core Zen 3 processor provides sufficient headroom to avoid becoming a bottleneck at lower resolutions. This analysis examines the specific frame rates, the relationship between the two components, and how this pairing compares to other configurations in the benchmark database.

Best Settings per Resolution

At 3840x2160, the most demanding preset that maintains an average of at least 60 FPS is High, which achieves an average of 76 FPS. While Medium also clears the threshold at 87 FPS, High represents the optimal balance of visual fidelity and performance, as pushing to Ultra drops the average to 57 FPS, just below the playability threshold of 60 FPS. The data shows that 4K gaming is viable with this combo, but only if the user is willing to accept High settings rather than maximum quality.

For 2560x1440, the ceiling is significantly higher. The most demanding preset that stays at or above 60 FPS is Ultra, which delivers an average of 89 FPS. This means the system can run the game at maximum settings with a comfortable margin above the playable threshold. High settings at this resolution produce 118 FPS, Medium reaches 135 FPS, and Low jumps to 191 FPS, but the Ultra preset is the recommended choice for users prioritizing visual quality without sacrificing smoothness.

At 1920x1080, the situation is even more favorable. Ultra settings yield an average of 121 FPS, making it the best settings choice at this resolution. The data shows that even the most demanding preset leaves substantial performance headroom, with High at 161 FPS, Medium at 185 FPS, and Low at 258 FPS. This resolution is where the RTX 4070 truly flexes its capabilities, as the CPU’s 16 threads are sufficient to keep feeding the GPU without creating a significant bottleneck.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 3840x2160, the data shows a clear progression across presets. Low settings deliver an average of 123 FPS, Medium averages 87 FPS with a minimum of 74 and a maximum of 101, High averages 76 FPS, and Ultra drops to 57 FPS. The gap between Low and Ultra is substantial — 66 FPS — indicating that the RTX 4070’s 12 GB of GDDR6X memory and 504.2 GB/s bandwidth are sufficient for 4K, but the most demanding preset pushes the GPU to its limits. Notably, the Ultra preset’s average of 57 FPS is the only measured value below the 60 FPS threshold across all resolutions and settings.

For 2560x1440, the measured values reveal a more comfortable margin. Low settings produce 191 FPS, Medium averages 135 FPS with a minimum of 115 and a maximum of 156, High reaches 118 FPS, and Ultra holds at 89 FPS. The scaling from Low to Ultra shows a 102 FPS drop, but every preset remains well above the playable threshold. The minimum FPS values for Medium settings at 115 FPS suggest that even in demanding scenes, the system does not experience significant frame drops.

At 1920x1080, the performance is exceptionally high across the board. Low settings average 258 FPS, Medium averages 185 FPS with a minimum of 157 and a maximum of 213, High reaches 161 FPS, and Ultra averages 121 FPS. The data shows that at 1080p, the system is largely CPU-bound, as the 8-core Ryzen 7 5700G with a boost clock of 4.60 GHz becomes the limiting factor at these high frame rates. The minimum FPS of 157 at Medium settings indicates excellent frame pacing, with no noticeable stuttering.

The Verdict

The data clearly indicates that this PC can run Lockdown Protocol, and it does so with significant headroom at most settings. At 3840x2160, the verdictByResolution field lists High, Low, and Medium as playable settings, with High being the best choice at 76 FPS average. Ultra at 4K is not playable, as its 57 FPS average falls below the 60 FPS threshold. This means 4K users must compromise on visual quality, but the game remains fully playable.

At 2560x1440, all four presets — Low, Medium, High, and Ultra — are playable, with Ultra averaging 89 FPS. This is the sweet spot for this combo, offering maximum visual fidelity with a comfortable performance margin. The 1440p resolution leverages the RTX 4070’s 29.15 TFLOPS of FP32 performance without overwhelming the CPU’s 16 threads.

At 1920x1080, the system is overqualified for the task. Ultra settings average 121 FPS, which is more than double the playable threshold. The data suggests that this resolution is not where the combo shines, as the CPU’s 8 cores and 16 threads become the primary constraint, but the performance is still exceptional. Overall, the verdict is clear: this combo runs the game at 60 FPS or higher at every resolution, with the only exception being 4K Ultra.

CPU and GPU Roles

The data reveals that the GPU is the dominant component at higher resolutions, while the CPU becomes more relevant as resolution decreases. At 3840x2160, the performance drop from Low (123 FPS) to Ultra (57 FPS) is 66 FPS, indicating that the RTX 4070’s rendering capabilities are the primary factor. The GPU’s 5 nm process node and 35,800 million transistors allow it to handle the increased pixel count, but the 12 GB memory capacity and 192-bit bus width become limiting factors at 4K Ultra.

At 2560x1440, the scaling between presets is less dramatic — from 191 FPS at Low to 89 FPS at Ultra, a 102 FPS difference. This suggests a more balanced workload, where both the CPU and GPU contribute to performance. The Ryzen 7 5700G’s 16 MB of L3 cache and dual-channel DDR4 memory support with 51.2 GB/s bandwidth are sufficient to feed the GPU with data, but the GPU’s 5888 shading units and 184 texture mapping units are still the main drivers of frame rate.

At 1920x1080, the CPU’s role becomes more pronounced. The performance difference between Low (258 FPS) and Ultra (121 FPS) is 137 FPS, but the absolute numbers are so high that the bottleneck shifts to the processor. The CPU’s single-thread score of 899 in 3dMark and passmark single-thread score of 3283 indicate that it can handle the game’s logic and draw calls, but at these frame rates, the 16 threads are working near their limits. The data implies that a stronger CPU would yield higher FPS at 1080p, but the current combo still delivers excellent results.

How This Combo Ranks

In the benchmark database for Lockdown Protocol, this CPU-GPU combination ranks 923rd out of 3714 tested combos. This places it in the top 24.9% of all configurations, which is a strong showing given the hardware specifications. The rank reflects the synergy between the Ryzen 7 5700G and the RTX 4070, with the CPU’s 79th percentile ranking and the GPU’s 81st percentile ranking combining to produce a well-balanced system.

The ranking suggests that while the combo is not at the very top of the performance charts, it outperforms the majority of tested configurations. This is particularly notable because the Ryzen 7 5700G is a 5000-series processor with integrated graphics, which might suggest it is not a gaming-focused chip, but the data shows it holds its own when paired with a high-end GPU. The combo’s position in the 923rd spot indicates that there are 922 configurations that perform better, likely featuring newer or more powerful CPUs and GPUs, but this pairing remains a viable option for 60 FPS gaming.
