Lockdown Protocol

The AMD Ryzen 7 5700G and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER combination ranks 333rd out of 3,714 tested combos for Lockdown Protocol, placing it in the top 9% of all configurations. This is a strong result for a fast-paced FPS, indicating the pairing is positioned well above the median system and should deliver a smooth experience for most players. The ranking reflects the balanced contribution of a high-end GPU with a capable mid-range CPU, though the data shows the GPU is doing the heavy lifting for this title.

How This Combo Ranks

The combo’s rank of 333 out of 3,714 tested configurations puts it in the 91st percentile of all systems tested for Lockdown Protocol. This is a strong position, though not at the very top tier of results. The data shows the combination outperforms the vast majority of setups, but there is still headroom above it in the rankings, likely occupied by newer flagship CPUs paired with the same or faster GPUs.

Benchmark results indicate the CPU’s average benchmark score of 27,051 places it in the 79th percentile of all CPUs, while the GPU’s average score of 54,209 puts it in the 86th percentile of all GPUs. The GPU is clearly the stronger component in this pairing, and its percentile ranking is a better predictor of the combo’s in-game position. The 8-core, 16-thread Ryzen 7 5700G is not a bottleneck for most scenarios, but its position in the 79th percentile suggests that systems with higher-ranked CPUs could extract slightly more performance from the RTX 4080 SUPER.

CPU and GPU Roles

The data shows a clear division of labor between the CPU and GPU across resolutions. At 1920x1080, the CPU plays a more significant role, as frame rates scale heavily with resolution and preset changes. The jump from Low to Ultra at 1080p drops the average FPS from 258 to 154, a 40% reduction. This indicates that at lower resolutions, the CPU can feed frames fast enough that the GPU’s workload becomes the limiting factor, but the CPU still needs to keep up with high frame rates.

At 2560x1440, the GPU’s importance grows. The spread between Low and Ultra is 233 FPS down to 113 FPS, a 52% drop. The GPU is now working harder, and the CPU’s 16 threads are sufficient to keep the pipeline full. At 3840x2160, the GPU is almost entirely the determining factor. The difference between Low and Ultra narrows to 157 FPS versus 73 FPS, a 54% reduction, but the absolute frame rates are much lower. This shows that at 4K, the RTX 4080 SUPER is the dominant constraint, and the Ryzen 7 5700G has ample headroom to feed it.

The scaling between presets also reveals the CPU’s role. At 1080p Medium, the average FPS is 227, while at 4K Medium it drops to 111. The reduction is consistent with a GPU-bound scenario at higher resolutions. However, at 1080p Ultra, the 154 FPS average is still far above the 60 FPS threshold, indicating that even at the most demanding settings, the CPU is not the primary bottleneck.

Similar Performance Alternatives

The CPU’s nearest rivals in benchmark scores provide context for its performance. The Intel Core i9-9900K scores 27,097, which is 0.2% higher than the Ryzen 7 5700G’s 27,051. This means the two are effectively identical in multi-threaded workloads, and users with the older Intel chip would see nearly the same frame rates in Lockdown Protocol. The AMD Ryzen AI 7 445 scores 26,936, 0.4% lower, while the Intel Core i5-14400T scores 27,166, 0.4% higher. The Intel Core i7-1370P scores 26,900, 0.6% lower. All four chips are within a 1% performance band, so any of them paired with the RTX 4080 SUPER would deliver virtually indistinguishable results in this game.

On the GPU side, the RTX 4080 SUPER’s nearest rival is the standard RTX 4080, which scores 54,247, just 0.1% higher. This is a negligible difference, meaning the SUPER variant offers no meaningful performance edge in this title. The AMD Radeon Pro W5700X scores 54,828, 1.1% higher, while the AMD Radeon RX 6750 GRE 12 GB scores 55,698, 2.7% higher. The AMD Radeon 8060S scores 55,757, 2.8% higher. These competitors are slightly faster in synthetic benchmarks, but the differences are small enough that real-world frame rates in Lockdown Protocol would be nearly identical. Users with these GPUs should expect similar performance at all resolutions.

The Verdict

The data clearly shows that this PC can run Lockdown Protocol at 60 FPS or above across all tested resolutions and settings. At 3840x2160, the lowest average FPS is 73 at Ultra settings, which clears the 60 FPS threshold with room to spare. The verdict confirms that all four settings at 4K are playable, with Ultra being the best choice at 73 FPS average.

At 2560x1440, the performance is even stronger. The Ultra preset averages 113 FPS, while High reaches 151 FPS. The Medium preset averages 172 FPS, and Low hits 233 FPS. All settings are comfortably above 60 FPS, making this resolution a sweet spot for high refresh rate monitors. At 1920x1080, the system is exceptionally fast. The Ultra preset averages 154 FPS, High reaches 205 FPS, Medium averages 227 FPS, and Low hits 258 FPS. This resolution is ideal for competitive play, where high frame rates are critical.

In summary, the system is more than capable of running the game at maximum settings at any resolution up to 4K. The minimum FPS recorded at 4K Medium is 95 FPS, which is well above the playable threshold. There is no configuration in the data where the system drops below 60 FPS, making this a reliable choice for Lockdown Protocol.

Best Settings per Resolution

At 3840x2160, the most demanding preset that stays at or above 60 FPS is Ultra, with an average of 73 FPS. This is the best choice for visual fidelity at 4K, as all lower presets also clear 60 FPS but offer less detail.

At 2560x1440, the Ultra preset averages 113 FPS, making it the best setting for this resolution. It delivers high visual quality while still providing a comfortable margin above the 60 FPS threshold.

At 1920x1080, the Ultra preset averages 154 FPS, which is the most demanding setting available. This is the optimal choice for players with high refresh rate monitors, as it maintains a high frame rate while maximizing visual quality.
