Lockdown Protocol

The AMD Ryzen 7 5700G paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 delivers an exceptionally strong performance profile in Lockdown Protocol, with the data showing all tested settings at every resolution remain firmly above the 60 FPS playable threshold. This combination ranks in the 91st percentile of all tested combos, sitting at rank 331 out of 3714, indicating that the pairing is among the top tier for this title. The benchmark results show that the RTX 4080’s raw graphical power dominates the frame rate output, while the Ryzen 7 5700G’s 8-core/16-thread Zen 3 architecture provides sufficient headroom to avoid bottlenecking at lower resolutions.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the combo delivers its highest frame rates, with the Low preset averaging 258 FPS. This number indicates the absolute ceiling of the CPU-GPU pairing’s ability to feed frames at the resolution most likely to be CPU-bound. Moving up to Medium, the average drops to 227 FPS, with a minimum of 193 FPS and a maximum of 261 FPS, showing that the 31 FPS delta between Low and Medium is modest and keeps gameplay extremely fluid. The High preset averages 206 FPS, a further 21 FPS reduction that still leaves massive headroom above the 60 FPS threshold. At Ultra, the average settles at 155 FPS, which is a substantial 71 FPS drop from Low but remains more than double the playable threshold, confirming that even the most demanding settings at 1080p are trivial for this hardware.

Stepping up to 2560x1440, the scaling is predictable, with each preset losing roughly 50 FPS compared to 1080p. The Low preset averages 233 FPS, while Medium averages 173 FPS with a minimum of 147 FPS and a maximum of 199 FPS. The High preset delivers 151 FPS, and Ultra drops to 113 FPS. The gap between Low and Ultra at this resolution is 120 FPS, which highlights how much headroom the RTX 4080 has at 1440p; even the heaviest settings produce frame rates that would satisfy high-refresh-rate monitors. The Medium preset’s minimum of 147 FPS is particularly telling, as it indicates that even in demanding scenes, the combo never approaches the 60 FPS floor.

At 3840x2160, the RTX 4080’s 16 GB of GDDR6X memory and 716.8 GB/s bandwidth come into play, but the frame rates remain high. The Low preset averages 157 FPS, which is only 76 FPS lower than at 1080p, showing that the GPU is still the dominant factor. Medium averages 112 FPS with a minimum of 95 FPS and a maximum of 129 FPS, and High averages 98 FPS. Ultra averages 73 FPS, which is the lowest figure recorded across all tests but still 13 FPS above the 60 FPS playable threshold. The data shows a clear trend: at 4K, the gap between Low and Ultra is 84 FPS, and even the worst-case minimum (95 FPS on Medium) remains comfortably playable.

How This Combo Ranks

The combo’s rank of 331 out of 3714 tested combinations places it in the top 8.9% of all pairings for Lockdown Protocol. This is a strong result, particularly because the Ryzen 7 5700G is not a flagship CPU; it is a 5000-series desktop part with integrated Radeon Vega 8 graphics, but its 8 cores and 16 threads provide solid multi-threaded performance. The CPU’s percentile rank of 79 versus all CPUs, with an average benchmark score of 27051, places it just slightly below the Intel Core i9-9900K, which scores 27097 (a -0.2% delta), and just above the AMD Ryzen AI 7 445, which scores 26936 (a +0.4% delta). This means the CPU is a mid-to-upper-tier part, but the GPU’s percentile rank of 86, with an average benchmark score of 54247, is the true driver of the combo’s high rank.

The GPU’s nearest rivals include the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER, which scores 54209 (a +0.1% delta), and the AMD Radeon Pro W5700X, which scores 54828 (a -1.1% delta). The RTX 4080’s position relative to these parts indicates that its performance is essentially interchangeable with the 4080 SUPER in synthetic benchmarks, which explains why the combo rank is so high despite the CPU’s more modest standing. The data suggests that in Lockdown Protocol, the GPU is responsible for the vast majority of the frame rate output, and the CPU’s role is secondary, preventing the combo from ranking even higher only because faster CPUs could push slightly higher averages at 1080p.

CPU and GPU Roles

The benchmark results clearly demonstrate that the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 is the primary performance driver in this pairing, with the CPU’s influence diminishing as resolution increases. At 1920x1080, the difference between Low and Ultra is 103 FPS (258 down to 155), which is a 40% reduction; this is the largest percentage drop across all resolutions, suggesting that the CPU is keeping up well enough to let the GPU’s workload scale with settings. However, the absolute frame rates at 1080p are so high that even a faster CPU would likely only yield marginal gains, as the Ryzen 7 5700G’s single-thread score of 899 in 3DMark and its Cinebench R23 single-core score of 1494 are sufficient for this title.

At 2560x1440, the frame rate reduction from 1080p is roughly 50 FPS per preset, which is a consistent 21-25% drop. This scaling pattern indicates that the GPU is becoming more heavily utilized, as the CPU’s workload remains roughly constant while the GPU must render more pixels. The CPU’s multi-threaded capabilities, evidenced by its 3DMark 16-thread score of 6629 and Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 12830.5, are adequate to feed the RTX 4080 at this resolution without creating a bottleneck. The data shows that the gap between Low and Ultra at 1440p is 120 FPS, which is actually larger in absolute terms than at 1080p, confirming that the GPU has ample headroom to render heavier settings.

At 3840x2160, the CPU’s role becomes even less significant, as the frame rates are primarily dictated by the GPU’s pixel throughput. The RTX 4080’s pixel rate of 280.6 GPixel/s and texture rate of 761.5 GTexel/s are the key specifications driving performance here. The fact that Ultra at 4K still averages 73 FPS, while the Low preset reaches 157 FPS, shows that the GPU is the sole limiting factor; the CPU’s 16 threads are more than enough to handle the game’s logic and draw calls. The verdict data confirms this, listing all four settings (Low, Medium, High, Ultra) as playable at 4K, which would not be possible if the CPU were holding back the GPU.

The 4080 SUPER would be a drop-in replacement with virtually identical performance in Lockdown Protocol, while the Radeon options would produce slightly lower frame rates due to their higher synthetic scores but potentially different driver behavior. Given that the RTX 4080’s launch MSRP was 1,199 USD, the 4080 SUPER represents the most direct alternative for users seeking the same experience.

Best Settings per Resolution

At 1920x1080, the data shows that the Ultra preset is the most demanding setting that stays at or above 60 FPS, with an average of 155 FPS. This provides a massive headroom of 95 FPS above the playable threshold, making Ultra the clear recommendation for maximum visual quality at this resolution.

At 2560x1440, the Ultra preset again delivers the best balance of visual fidelity and performance, averaging 113 FPS. This is 53 FPS above the 60 FPS threshold, meaning there is no need to compromise on settings; the combo handles the highest preset with ease.

At 3840x2160, the Ultra preset averages 73 FPS, which is 13 FPS above the playable threshold. This makes Ultra the recommended setting, though users who prioritize frame rate stability over visual quality may prefer the High preset at 98 FPS or the Medium preset at 112 FPS. The data confirms that all four presets are playable at 4K, so the choice comes down to personal preference for image quality versus frame rate headroom.
