# AMD Ryzen 7 5700G + NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER: Lockdown Protocol Benchmark Analysis

The AMD Ryzen 7 5700G paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER presents a compelling mid-range combination for Lockdown Protocol. The processor, based on the Zen 3 architecture, offers strong single-threaded performance, while the GPU, built on the Ada Lovelace architecture, delivers a significant leap in rasterization and ray-tracing capabilities. Benchmark data from the FACT PACK shows this pairing handles the game's demanding presets with notable headroom.

The data indicates a clear performance hierarchy across all tested resolutions. At 1920x1080, the system achieves an average of 135 FPS at the Ultra preset, which is 125% above the 60 FPS playability threshold. At 2560x1440, the average at Ultra is 99 FPS, a 65% margin over the threshold. Even at the demanding 3840x2160 resolution, the Ultra preset holds an average of 64 FPS, keeping a 6.7% margin above playability. This is a system that not only meets but comfortably exceeds the demands of the game at its most demanding settings.

Best Settings per Resolution

At 3840x2160, the most demanding preset is "Ultra", which averages 64 FPS. This setting is the only one tested that stays above the 60 FPS threshold. The "High" preset averages 85 FPS, while "Medium" drops to 97 FPS, and "Low" reaches 137 FPS. The data shows a clear gradient, but the key takeaway is that even at the most demanding preset, the system holds the line. For players prioritizing a locked 60 FPS with maximum visual fidelity, "Ultra" is the definitive choice at this resolution.

At 2560x1440, the "Ultra" preset averages 99 FPS, maintaining a substantial 65% cushion above the playability floor. The "High" preset averages 132 FPS, while "Medium" and "Low" land at 151 and 212 FPS respectively. The margin at "Medium" is a robust 151.7% above the threshold, showing less sensitivity to resolution scaling than expected. The best setting is "Ultra" as it offers the most demanding visual environment while still providing a large performance buffer.

At 1920x1080, the "Ultra" preset averages 135 FPS, a 125% lead over the 60 FPS bar. "High" settings deliver 180 FPS, "Medium" 206 FPS, and "Low" 258 FPS. The performance at this resolution is exceptionally high, and the GPU is clearly not the limiting factor. The "Ultra" preset is the recommendation here, as it maximizes visual fidelity without any practical compromise to frame pacing.

FAQ

Q: Which resolution and preset should I use for the best balance of visuals and performance?

A: The data shows that 3840x2160 at "Ultra" settings averages 64 FPS, staying above the 60 FPS threshold. This is the most demanding tested configuration that still clears the playability bar. Lower resolutions and presets produce higher frame rates, but the "Ultra" preset at 4K is the recommended choice.

Q: Does the system handle 2560x1440 at high refresh rates?

A: Yes. At 2560x1440 "High" settings, the average is 132 FPS. Even at "Ultra", it maintains an average of 99 FPS. The performance headroom is substantial, with the "Ultra" setting delivering 65% more FPS than the 60 FPS threshold.

Q: Is the RTX 4070 SUPER the component that limits performance?

A: At 1920x1080, the CPU (AMD Ryzen 7 5700G) with the RTX 4070 SUPER produces 258 FPS at "Low" and 135 FPS at "Ultra". At higher resolutions, the GPU becomes more relevant, but the data indicates the CPU still provides enough headroom. The GPU is the more critical component at 4K when pushing "Ultra" settings, but the entire system is well balanced.

Q: Can I use a lower-powered CPU with this GPU for this game?

A: The data suggests the RTX 4070 SUPER is important. For example, at 3840x2160 "Ultra", the system averages 64 FPS. While the CPU is not negligible, the GPU's performance is a significant factor in the overall result. A significantly weaker CPU may not deliver consistent 60 FPS at 4K Ultra, given the 3DMark and PassMark results place this CPU in the 79th percentile of all CPUs. The combination is robust.

The Verdict

Can this PC run Lockdown Protocol? The benchmark data is clear: yes. At every resolution and preset tested, the AMD Ryzen 7 5700G and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER combination delivers an average frame rate above the 60 FPS playability threshold.

At the most demanding tested configuration — 3840x2160 with "Ultra" — the system averages 64 FPS. This is a 6.7% margin over the threshold, which indicates a stable but not overwhelming lead. There is no data showing a minimum below 60 FPS, meaning the system likely holds 60 FPS in demanding scenes.

At 2560x1440 "Ultra", the average is 99 FPS, which gives a comfortable lead. The "High" preset maintains 132 FPS, while "Medium" and "Low" presets yield 151 and 165 FPS respectively, all showing consistent performance.

At 1920x1080, the system averages 135 FPS at "Ultra", a 125% lead. The "High" preset offers 180 FPS, suffices for high-refresh-rate monitors.

Verdict per resolution: The system is fully capable of delivering 60+ FPS at 3840x2160 on Ultra settings. It also passes with a significant margin at 2560x1440 on "Ultra" (99 FPS) and at 1920x1080 on "Ultra" (135 FPS). The RTX 4070 SUPER is the stronger component in this pairing, as evidenced by the FPS scaling between resolutions and presets; the CPU keeps pace without becoming a bottleneck.

CPU and GPU Roles

The data shows a balanced system, with the GPU taking the lead role at higher resolutions. At 1920x1080, the difference between "Low" (258 FPS) and "Ultra" (135 FPS) is substantial but the CPU is not the limiting factor. At 2560x1440, "Ultra" drops to 99 FPS — a 26.7% drop from the 1080p "Ultra" number, while the GPU's workload is increasing. At 3840x2160, the "Ultra" preset averages 64 FPS, a 35.4% drop from the 1440p result.

The scaling pattern across presets shows the GPU is becoming the primary bottleneck at 4K. However, the CPU's headroom is still adequate. The Ryzen 7 5700X sits in the 79th percentile of all CPUs, which is sufficient to feed the RTX 4070 SUPER.

In essence, the GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER defines the performance envelope here. The AMD processor provides a healthy foundation, but at 4K Ultra, the GPU is doing the heavy lifting. This is a well-matched pairing for Lockdown Protocol, with the CPU offering a strong single-threaded performance and the GPU offering high bandwidth and compute capabilities. Users targeting high refresh rate 1440p might prefer the "High" or "Medium" presets, while 4K gamers should stick to "Ultra" and a 60Hz display.
