Lockdown Protocol

The AMD Ryzen 7 5700G paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 delivers overwhelming performance in Lockdown Protocol, clearing the 60 FPS playable threshold at every resolution and preset combination tested. The data shows a system that is heavily GPU-bound at higher resolutions but still maintains massive frame rates even in the most demanding Ultra settings at 4K. This combination ranks 178th out of 3714 tested combos, placing it in the top 5% of all configurations evaluated for this title.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the combination produces frame rates that far exceed the needs of any high-refresh-rate display. The Low preset yields an average of 257.5 FPS, while Medium delivers 224.6 FPS and High reaches 213.7 FPS. The most demanding setting, Ultra, still produces 180.8 FPS on average. The gap between Low and Ultra is 76.7 FPS, a 29.8% reduction, indicating that even the heaviest graphical load leaves substantial headroom for competitive play.

Moving to 2560x1440, the performance remains exceptional. Low settings produce 230.4 FPS, Medium follows at 197 FPS, and High reaches 173.5 FPS. Ultra settings at this resolution deliver 133.8 FPS, which is still more than double the 60 FPS threshold. The scaling from 1080p to 1440p shows a reduction of roughly 10-27% depending on the preset, with the largest drop occurring at Ultra settings where the frame rate falls from 180.8 FPS to 133.8 FPS.

At 3840x2160, the system still dominates. Low settings average 184 FPS, Medium produces 127.3 FPS, and High delivers 113.4 FPS. Ultra settings at 4K generate 84.9 FPS, comfortably above the 60 FPS playability threshold. The transition from 1440p to 4K is more punishing, with Ultra dropping from 133.8 FPS to 84.9 FPS, a 36.5% decline. Low settings see a smaller relative loss, falling from 230.4 FPS to 184 FPS, a 20.1% reduction.

The data reveals a consistent pattern across all resolutions: the RTX 5090 provides such massive raw throughput that even the CPU-limited Ryzen 7 5700G cannot prevent triple-digit frame rates in most configurations. The only scenario where average FPS dips below 100 is 4K Ultra, and even then the 84.9 FPS result leaves significant margin above the playability threshold.

CPU and GPU Roles

The performance scaling between resolutions and presets clearly identifies the GPU as the dominant component in this system, but the CPU's role becomes more apparent at lower resolutions. At 1080p, the difference between Low and Ultra is only 76.7 FPS (from 257.5 to 180.8), suggesting that the Ryzen 7 5700G's eight Zen 3 cores are capable of feeding the RTX 5090 enough data to keep frame rates astronomically high. The relatively modest 29.8% performance penalty for maxing out settings indicates that neither component becomes a severe bottleneck at this resolution.

At 1440p, the GPU begins to shoulder more of the workload. The delta between Low and Ultra grows to 96.6 FPS (from 230.4 to 133.8), a 41.9% reduction. This widening gap shows that as pixel count increases, the RTX 5090's rendering load becomes the primary constraint, while the CPU maintains a steady stream of frames. The 5700G's 16 MB of L3 cache and 16 threads appear sufficient to prevent CPU-induced stutters even at these elevated frame rates.

The 4K data makes the GPU's dominance unambiguous. The difference between Low and Ultra at 3840x2160 is 99.1 FPS (from 184 to 84.9), a 53.9% reduction. This nearly doubles the percentage drop seen at 1080p, confirming that the RTX 5090's fill rate and memory bandwidth are the determining factors at this resolution. The GPU's 32 GB of GDDR7 memory and 1.79 TB/s bandwidth provide ample resources for 4K textures, while the CPU's contribution becomes relatively minor.

The scaling from 1080p to 4K at Ultra settings tells a similar story: performance falls from 180.8 FPS to 84.9 FPS, a 53% decline, while at Low settings the drop is from 257.5 FPS to 184 FPS, a 28.5% reduction. This asymmetric scaling indicates that the GPU is the limiting factor at higher resolutions and higher presets, whereas the CPU's performance ceiling is only approached at 1080p Low where the GPU has less work to do.

Similar Performance Alternatives

The nearestRivals data for the CPU places the Ryzen 7 5700G in a tight cluster of processors with nearly identical average benchmark scores. The Intel Core i9-9900K scores 27097, a mere 0.2% higher than the 5700G's 27051 average. The AMD Ryzen AI 7 445 trails by 0.4%, while the Intel Core i5-14400T sits 0.4% ahead. The Intel Core i7-1370P is 0.6% ahead of the 5700G. These deltas are all within one percentage point, meaning any of these CPUs would produce virtually indistinguishable frame rates in Lockdown Protocol when paired with the same RTX 5090.

For the GPU, the nearestRivals data shows the RTX 5090's average benchmark score of 79842 is closely matched by several other NVIDIA and AMD parts. The NVIDIA Tesla P100 PCIe 16 GB scores 79605, just 0.3% lower, while the Tesla P100 PCIe 12 GB is 0.6% behind. The AMD Radeon RX 6850M XT scores 78940, a 1.1% deficit, and the AMD Radeon Pro Vega 64X is the only rival ahead, scoring 80959 for a 1.4% advantage. In practical terms, any of these GPUs would deliver within a few frames per second of the RTX 5090 in Lockdown Protocol, though the consumer-oriented RX 6850M XT is the most plausible alternative for gaming workloads.

The combination of a top-tier GPU from the 92nd percentile with a mid-range CPU from the 79th percentile creates a system where the GPU's performance class dominates the overall experience. Users upgrading from any of the listed rival CPUs would see no meaningful difference in this game, while swapping the GPU for a nearest rival would produce at most a 1.4% shift in frame rates.

The Verdict

This PC can run Lockdown Protocol at every resolution and preset combination tested, with all twelve configurations exceeding the 60 FPS playable threshold. The verdictByResolution data confirms that 1920x1080 Ultra delivers 180.8 FPS, 2560x1440 Ultra produces 133.8 FPS, and 3840x2160 Ultra still achieves 84.9 FPS. The best settings at each resolution are always Ultra, meaning users can maximize visual quality without sacrificing playability.

At 1080p, the system is effectively overkill, with even Ultra settings providing nearly three times the necessary frame rate. The 1440p results are equally impressive, with all presets clearing 130 FPS. The 4K Ultra result of 84.9 FPS is the only configuration that approaches the lower bounds of high-refresh-rate territory, but it remains comfortably above the 60 FPS threshold with a 24.9 FPS margin. For competitive play at 4K, dropping to High settings yields 113.4 FPS, providing additional headroom.

The combination's rank of 178 out of 3714 tested combos places it in the 95.2nd percentile of all configurations tested for this game. This rank reflects the RTX 5090's exceptional performance, which compensates for the Ryzen 7 5700G's more modest standing in the CPU hierarchy. The data indicates that this system is suitable for 4K Ultra gaming at playable frame rates, making it a top-tier choice for Lockdown Protocol.

How This Combo Ranks

The AMD Ryzen 7 5700G and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 combination achieves a rank of 178 out of 3714 tested combos in Lockdown Protocol. This places the configuration in the 95.2nd percentile of all systems tested, indicating that it outperforms the vast majority of alternatives. The ranking reflects the RTX 5090's position in the 92nd percentile of all GPUs, which anchors the system's high standing despite the 5700G's relatively modest 79th percentile CPU ranking.

The disparity between the GPU's elite status and the CPU's mid-tier position creates an interesting dynamic. The RTX 5090's 79842 average benchmark score and 92nd percentile ranking drive the combo's high placement, while the 5700G's 27051 average score and 79th percentile ranking contribute less to the overall result. The data suggests that this combo's rank is primarily a product of GPU performance, and users seeking to improve their standing would benefit more from a faster CPU than a faster GPU, as the latter is already at the top of the hierarchy.

Despite the CPU's relative weakness, the combo still outperforms 95.2% of all tested configurations. This high rank is consistent with the measured FPS data, which shows no configuration dropping below 84.9 FPS at any resolution or preset. The system's ability to maintain 60+ FPS at 4K Ultra, a feat many combos cannot achieve, is the primary driver of its top-5% placement. For users prioritizing Lockdown Protocol performance, this combination represents a near-best-case scenario, with only a small fraction of tested systems delivering higher frame rates.
