Lockdown Protocol

The AMD Ryzen 7 5700G paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti delivers a decisive performance profile in Lockdown Protocol, with measured framerates that consistently outperform the 60 FPS playability threshold across every resolution and preset combination tested. The data reveals a system that is not merely capable, but one that provides substantial headroom for high-refresh-rate displays at 1440p and even at 4K, making it a formidable combination for this FPS title.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The benchmark results for this pairing are uniformly strong, with no configuration dipping below the 60 FPS threshold. The data set spans three resolutions—1920x1080, 2560x1440, and 3840x2160—and four quality presets: Low, Medium, High, and Ultra. All figures represent average framerates, as the data does not include minimum or maximum values.

At 1080p, the system operates at exceptionally high framerates. The Low preset yields an average of 258.1 FPS, which is the highest measured in the entire suite. Moving to Medium, the average drops to 225.8 FPS, while High delivers 201.2 FPS. Even at the most demanding Ultra preset, the system maintains an average of 151.8 FPS, which is more than double the playability threshold.

At 1440p, the performance remains remarkably elevated. Low settings produce an average of 234.9 FPS, and Medium still achieves 163.6 FPS. The High preset offers a 144.0 FPS average, which is notable for its alignment with common 144 Hz refresh rates. Ultra at 1440p maintains a robust 108.5 FPS average, indicating that the system can handle the visual fidelity increase without sacrificing smoothness.

The 4K results are where the RTX 5070 Ti's capabilities become most apparent. At 3840x2160, the Low preset achieves 153.1 FPS, which is higher than the Ultra preset at 1080p. Medium at 4K delivers 107.8 FPS, while High produces 95.3 FPS. The Ultra preset at 4K, which represents the maximum load in this test, still delivers an average of 70.1 FPS, clearing the 60 FPS threshold with a tangible margin.

The scaling between presets is consistent. At 1080p, the difference between Low and Ultra is 106.3 FPS, representing a 41% reduction in performance from the lowest to the highest quality setting. At 1440p, that spread grows slightly to 126.4 FPS, a 54% reduction. At 4K, the spread between Low and Ultra is 83.0 FPS, a 54% reduction as well, showing that the GPU is heavily loaded at this resolution but still maintains playable framerates at maximum quality.

Best Settings per Resolution

For each resolution, the "best" setting is defined as the most demanding preset that still maintains an average of at least 60 FPS. Given the performance headroom, the system achieves playable framerates at all presets across all resolutions, meaning the most demanding preset—Ultra—is always viable.

At 1920x1080, the best settings are Ultra, with an average of 151.8 FPS. This provides an exceptional experience for high-refresh-rate monitors, leaving ample performance for competitive play or streaming overhead.

At 2560x1440, the best settings are also Ultra, with an average of 108.5 FPS. This is particularly noteworthy because it means gamers with 1440p 144 Hz displays can run the game at maximum quality and still have framerates close to the refresh rate ceiling.

At 3840x2160, the best settings remain Ultra, with an average of 70.1 FPS. While this is the lowest average in the entire dataset, it still exceeds the 60 FPS playability threshold by 10 FPS, meaning 4K Ultra is not just technically playable but genuinely smooth. The data shows no scenario where the user must compromise on quality to achieve a playable framerate.

CPU and GPU Roles

The performance scaling across resolutions and presets indicates that the GPU is the primary driver of framerate in Lockdown Protocol, a common characteristic for FPS titles with modern rendering demands. The CPU, an AMD Ryzen 7 5700G with 8 cores and 16 threads, provides a solid foundation, but the data shows that the GPU's load scales more significantly with resolution.

Evidence for this comes from the framerate deltas between presets. At 1080p, the difference between Low and Ultra is 106.3 FPS. At 1440p, that difference grows to 126.4 FPS, and at 4K it is 83.0 FPS. The fact that the absolute framerate is highest at 1080p and lowest at 4K across all presets confirms that the GPU is the bottleneck at higher resolutions. If the CPU were the limiting factor, we would expect to see framerates plateau at 1080p regardless of the GPU settings, which is not the case. The 258.1 FPS at 1080p Low versus the 151.8 FPS at 1080p Ultra shows the GPU is still heavily engaged even at the lowest resolution.

The CPU's role becomes more apparent when comparing the scaling between resolutions at the same preset. For instance, at Medium settings, the framerate drops from 225.8 FPS at 1080p to 163.6 FPS at 1440p, and further to 107.8 FPS at 4K. This linear degradation with resolution is characteristic of a GPU-bound workload. The Ryzen 7 5700G, with its high single-thread performance and 16 MB of L3 cache, is sufficient to feed the RTX 5070 Ti at these framerates, as evidenced by the fact that the system reaches over 200 FPS at 1080p Medium. The CPU's benchmark scores, such as a Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 12830.5 and a single-core score of 1494, support its capability to handle the game's logic and physics threads without becoming a bottleneck.
