Lockdown Protocol

The AMD Ryzen 7 5700G paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 delivers a decisive performance verdict for Lockdown Protocol: this combination is capable of running the game at maximum visual quality across all tested resolutions, with frame rates that consistently exceed the 60 FPS playability threshold. Benchmark data confirms that this combo not only clears the playability bar but does so with substantial headroom, positioning it as a high-performance option among the 3,714 tested combinations.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The measured FPS data for this combination reveals a consistent scaling pattern across resolutions and settings. At 1920x1080, the frame rates are exceptionally high across all presets. The Low preset averages 258.8 FPS, Medium reaches 202.6 FPS, High delivers 173.4 FPS, and Ultra still maintains a robust 132.6 FPS. Even at the most demanding 1080p setting, the system operates at more than double the 60 FPS playability threshold, indicating that the CPU-GPU pairing has significant performance reserves at this resolution.

Moving to 2560x1440, the performance remains impressive but shows the expected impact of increased pixel count. The Low preset averages 208.9 FPS, Medium drops to 146.6 FPS, High delivers 130.9 FPS, and Ultra maintains a strong 95.6 FPS. The transition from 1080p to 1440p results in a performance reduction of approximately 25-30% across all presets, which is a modest penalty given the substantial resolution increase. The Ultra preset at 1440p still maintains nearly 96 FPS on average, comfortably above the playability threshold.

At 3840x2160, the system continues to deliver playable performance across every setting. The Low preset averages 135.2 FPS, Medium delivers 95.6 FPS, High achieves 83.9 FPS, and Ultra remains above the 60 FPS threshold at 63.9 FPS. The scaling from 1440p to 4K shows a more pronounced performance drop, with the Ultra preset losing approximately 33% of its frame rate. However, the key finding is that even the most demanding configuration—4K Ultra—averages 63.9 FPS, which clears the 60 FPS playability bar by a narrow but definitive margin.

CPU and GPU Roles

The performance scaling across resolutions reveals clear insights into component roles for Lockdown Protocol. At 1920x1080, the extreme frame rates—peaking at 258.8 FPS on Low—suggest that the CPU is playing a more significant role in limiting performance, as the GPU has ample capacity to render frames quickly at lower pixel counts. The 8-core, 16-thread Ryzen 7 5700G, with its Zen 3 architecture and 16 MB of L3 cache, provides sufficient processing power to drive these high frame rates, but the data indicates that CPU overhead becomes more relevant as settings are lowered and frame rates rise.

As resolution increases to 2560x1440 and then 3840x2160, the GPU becomes increasingly dominant in determining performance. The RTX 5070, with its 12 GB of GDDR7 memory and 672.0 GB/s bandwidth, shows its strength in handling the increased pixel throughput. The performance difference between 1080p Ultra (132.6 FPS) and 4K Ultra (63.9 FPS) demonstrates that the GPU's workload scales significantly with resolution, while the CPU's role becomes less critical at higher pixel counts where frame rates are lower and per-frame CPU work is relatively smaller.

The setting scaling provides additional evidence. At 4K, the difference between Low (135.2 FPS) and Ultra (63.9 FPS) is substantial, representing a 71.3 FPS gap that highlights how much the GPU's rendering workload increases with visual fidelity. At 1080p, the same Low-to-Ultra gap is 126.2 FPS, suggesting that at lower resolutions, the GPU has more headroom to absorb the additional work from higher settings, while the CPU becomes more likely to be the limiting factor.

Best Settings per Resolution

For each resolution, the data identifies the most demanding preset that maintains an average frame rate at or above 60 FPS. At 3840x2160, the Ultra preset is the best choice, delivering an average of 63.9 FPS. This is the only resolution where Ultra performance is close to the threshold, but it still clears the 60 FPS bar. The High preset at 4K delivers 83.9 FPS, offering additional headroom for those who prefer smoother motion over maximum visual fidelity, but Ultra remains viable.

At 2560x1440, the Ultra preset is again the best setting, achieving an average of 95.6 FPS. This provides substantial margin above the 60 FPS threshold, making 1440p Ultra a highly comfortable configuration. The High preset at this resolution delivers 130.9 FPS, but the Ultra preset's 95.6 FPS average is already well above the playability threshold, so there is no need to compromise on visual quality.

At 1920x1080, the Ultra preset delivers an average of 132.6 FPS, making it the clear best setting. This represents the highest frame rate among all Ultra presets across resolutions and provides exceptional headroom above the 60 FPS threshold. The system is not just playable at 1080p Ultra; it is highly performant, with frame rates that would satisfy even demanding users looking for high-refresh-rate gameplay.
