Lockdown Protocol

Lockdown Protocol is a demanding FPS, and the AMD Ryzen 7 5700X + NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER combination proves to be a formidable pairing for it. Measured benchmark data shows this system delivers exceptionally high frame rates across all tested resolutions, positioning it as a top-tier performer for this specific title.

How This Combo Ranks

The benchmark data places this specific combination at rank 631 out of 3,714 tested combos for Lockdown Protocol. This percentile placement, roughly in the top 17% of all possible system configurations, indicates that this pairing is significantly more capable than the vast majority of setups tested for this game. The ranking reflects the measured synergy between the Ryzen 7 5700X and the RTX 4070 SUPER, where neither component creates a significant bottleneck in this particular workload.

The combo's standing is further reinforced by the individual component percentiles. The RTX 4070 SUPER sits in the 83rd percentile among all GPUs, while the Ryzen 7 5700X places in the 79th percentile among all CPUs. When combined, these two components deliver a system that is well above average for Lockdown Protocol, with the GPU's high percentile suggesting it carries much of the performance weight. The data shows a system that clears the 60 FPS playability threshold with substantial headroom at every resolution and setting preset tested, from 1080p Low at 268.4 FPS to 4K Ultra at 61.6 FPS.

CPU and GPU Roles

The performance scaling across resolutions reveals a clear division of labor between the CPU and GPU. At 1920x1080, the system achieves 268.4 FPS on Low settings, which drops to 133.6 FPS on Ultra. This 134.8 FPS gap between presets at 1080p indicates that the GPU is the primary driver of performance changes, as the CPU has ample headroom to feed frames at this resolution. The Ryzen 7 5700X, with its 8 cores and 16 threads, provides sufficient processing power to avoid becoming the limiting factor at these lower resolutions.

Moving to 2560x1440, the frame rates remain exceptionally high, with Low settings producing 215.2 FPS and Ultra producing 98.6 FPS. The percentage drop from Low to Ultra at 1440p is approximately 54%, compared to a 50% drop at 1080p. This slight increase in the performance penalty at higher resolutions points to the GPU becoming progressively more stressed as pixel count rises. However, the CPU still manages to keep pace, as evidenced by the fact that even the most demanding preset at this resolution stays well above the 60 FPS threshold.

At 3840x2160, the GPU's dominance becomes unmistakable. The system delivers 135.3 FPS on Low but only 61.6 FPS on Ultra, a 55% reduction. The fact that 4K Ultra barely clears 60 FPS while 4K Low produces more than double that figure confirms that the RTX 4070 SUPER is the performance ceiling for this combo. The CPU's role diminishes as resolution increases, with the GPU's raw throughput and memory bandwidth becoming the determining factors. The RTX 4070 SUPER's 12 GB of GDDR6X memory and 504.2 GB/s bandwidth are sufficient for 4K textures, but the sheer pixel workload at Ultra settings pushes the card to its limits.

Similar Performance Alternatives

The nearest rivals for the RTX 4070 SUPER, based on average benchmark scores, include the NVIDIA Quadro M6000 24 GB, which scores within 0.1% of the 4070 SUPER, and the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5050 Mobile, also within 0.1%. The Quadro M6000 and RTX 4090 Mobile complete the list, with the latter being 1% slower in average score. These comparisons suggest that for Lockdown Protocol, a system using any of these GPUs with a comparable CPU would produce nearly identical frame rates.

On the CPU side, the Ryzen 7 5700X's nearest rivals are remarkably close in performance. The Intel Core i5-12600K matches the 5700X exactly with a 0% delta, while the AMD Ryzen 5 7600X is 0.2% faster and the AMD Ryzen 7 5800 is 0.2% slower. The Intel Core Ultra 5 125H rounds out the list at 0.3% faster. These sub-1% differences mean that swapping the 5700X for any of these alternatives would result in imperceptible changes in Lockdown Protocol's frame rates, as long as the GPU remains the same.

For a gamer considering alternatives, the data suggests that the GPU choice matters far more than the CPU for this title. A system pairing any of these rival CPUs with the RTX 4070 SUPER would deliver nearly identical performance to the measured combo. Conversely, using a different GPU from the rival list with the 5700X would also produce similar results, as the deltaPct values are all within 1% of the baseline.

The Verdict

The benchmark data is unambiguous: this PC can run Lockdown Protocol exceptionally well at all tested resolutions and presets. According to the verdictByResolution data, every single setting combination clears the 60 FPS playability threshold. At 1920x1080, the system achieves a minimum of 133.6 FPS on Ultra settings, which is more than double the playability threshold. The 2560x1440 results are equally impressive, with Ultra settings producing 98.6 FPS and Low settings reaching 215.2 FPS.

At 3840x2160, the system remains fully playable, though with less headroom. Ultra settings produce 61.6 FPS, which clears the 60 FPS threshold but leaves little margin for fluctuation. High settings at 4K provide more comfort at 82.7 FPS, while Medium and Low deliver 98.2 FPS and 135.3 FPS respectively. For gamers who prioritize visual fidelity at 4K, Ultra is technically achievable, but the data suggests that High settings offer a safer balance between image quality and frame rate stability. At 1440p and below, the system has more than enough power to run Ultra settings with substantial headroom, making it an ideal choice for high-refresh-rate monitors.

Best Settings per Resolution

At 1920x1080, the most demanding preset that stays at or above 60 FPS is Ultra, which delivers 133.6 FPS. This provides massive headroom over the playability threshold, making it the clear choice for 1080p gaming with this system.

At 2560x1440, Ultra settings remain the best choice, producing 98.6 FPS. This is comfortably above 60 FPS, allowing gamers to enjoy full visual fidelity at 1440p without compromising on smoothness.

At 3840x2160, Ultra settings technically qualify as playable at 61.6 FPS, but the margin is thin. For a more comfortable experience, High settings at 82.7 FPS offer a better balance, though the data confirms that Ultra is still viable for those who prioritize maximum visual quality.
