Best Settings per Resolution

At 3840x2160, the most demanding preset that stays at or above 60 FPS is High, with a measured average of 73.2 FPS. The Medium preset also clears the threshold at 84.6 FPS, and the Low preset reaches 117.6 FPS, but the High preset represents the best visual quality option that maintains smooth frame rates. The Ultra preset falls short at 55.2 FPS, which is below the 60 FPS playable threshold.

For 2560x1440, all four presets remain playable, but the Ultra preset at 85.7 FPS is the optimal choice for maximum visual fidelity. The Medium preset runs at 131.3 FPS, the High preset at 110.8 FPS, and the Low preset at 180.7 FPS. The data indicates that 1440p Ultra provides a comfortable margin above the threshold while delivering the highest quality experience.

At 1920x1080, the Ultra preset achieves 119 FPS, making it the recommended setting for this resolution. The High preset runs at 152.3 FPS, Medium at 175.5 FPS, and Low at 231.2 FPS. Since even the most demanding preset stays well above 60 FPS, players can enable Ultra without compromising playability.

CPU and GPU Roles

The scaling between resolutions reveals how the workload shifts between the Ryzen 7 5700X3D and the RTX 3080. At 1920x1080, the Low preset produces 231.2 FPS, while the Ultra preset drops to 119 FPS, showing a 112.2 FPS reduction when increasing graphical demands. This pattern suggests that at 1080p, the GPU becomes the limiting factor as settings rise, since the CPU maintains high frame rates even at Low settings.

Moving to 2560x1440, the Low preset yields 180.7 FPS compared to 85.7 FPS at Ultra, reflecting a 95 FPS difference. The proportional drop from Low to Ultra is similar to 1080p, but the absolute numbers are lower, indicating that the GPU is handling more pixel work. The CPU still provides enough headroom to avoid bottlenecking at this resolution.

At 3840x2160, the Low preset achieves 117.6 FPS while Ultra falls to 55.2 FPS, a 62.4 FPS reduction. The smaller absolute gap at 4K suggests that the GPU is doing the heavy lifting, with the CPU becoming less relevant as resolution increases. Benchmark results indicate that the Ryzen 7 5700X3D’s strong multi-threaded performance, evidenced by its Cinebench R23 multicore score of 22366, keeps up with the RTX 3080’s workload. The GPU’s 10 GB of GDDR6X memory and 760.3 GB/s bandwidth support high-resolution textures, but the data shows that the CPU matters more at lower resolutions where frame rates are higher.

Similar Performance Alternatives

The Ryzen 7 5700X3D’s nearest rivals in synthetic benchmarks include the AMD Ryzen 5 7600X3D with an average score of 24728, which is 0.1 percent higher. The AMD Ryzen 9 5900HX scores 24822, sitting 0.5 percent above, while the Intel Core i5-12450HX scores 24576 at 0.5 percent below. The Intel Core i5-11600 scores 24563, also 0.6 percent lower. For Lockdown Protocol, these processors would likely produce similar frame rates, as the 5700X3D’s performance is within a narrow band of these alternatives.

On the GPU side, the RTX 3080’s nearest rivals include the NVIDIA P106-100 with a 0.3 percent lower score of 23249, the AMD Radeon Pro Vega 16 at 23250 with a 0.3 percent deficit, the AMD Radeon RX 6600M at 23273 which is 0.4 percent lower, and the AMD Radeon R9 M290X at 23276 with a 0.4 percent gap. Given the small deltas, these graphics cards would deliver comparable gaming performance in Lockdown Protocol. However, the RTX 3080’s 68 RT cores and 272 tensor cores provide capabilities beyond raw rasterization, which may matter in other titles even if the benchmark scores are similar.

How This Combo Ranks

The combination of the Ryzen 7 5700X3D and RTX 3080 ranks 1089 out of 3714 tested combinations in Lockdown Protocol. This places the pairing in the top 29.3 percent of all configurations tested, indicating that it performs better than a majority of systems. The rank reflects the balance between the CPU’s 77th percentile ranking among all CPUs and the GPU’s 68th percentile among all GPUs, with the combination exceeding what either component would suggest individually.

The combo’s position in the rankings is driven by the CPU’s strong single-thread and multi-thread scores, including a Passmark single-thread score of 2970 and a Geekbench multicore score of 11086. The GPU’s Passmark G3D score of 25086 also contributes, though the RTX 3080’s percentile rank is lower than the CPU’s. This suggests that the CPU is the stronger relative component, and the overall ranking benefits from the processor’s capability to feed frames efficiently to the GPU.

The Verdict

The data shows that this PC can run Lockdown Protocol at 1920x1080 with all settings presets clearing 60 FPS, with Ultra achieving 119 FPS. At 2560x1440, the Ultra preset also clears the threshold at 85.7 FPS, and all other presets remain well above 60 FPS. At 3840x2160, the High preset is the best playable option at 73.2 FPS, with Low and Medium also exceeding the threshold, but Ultra falls to 55.2 FPS.

Benchmark results confirm that the combination is fully playable at 1080p and 1440p with maximum settings, while 4K requires a slight reduction to High settings for smooth performance. The measured average frame rates at 4K High (73.2 FPS) and 1440p Ultra (85.7 FPS) provide comfortable margins, and the 1080p Ultra result of 119 FPS is more than double the playable threshold. For players prioritizing high refresh rates, the Low preset at 1080p reaches 231.2 FPS, making this setup capable of very high FPS gaming at lower settings.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the Low preset averages 231.2 FPS, the Medium preset averages 175.5 FPS, the High preset averages 152.3 FPS, and the Ultra preset averages 119 FPS. All settings remain above the 60 FPS threshold, with the difference between Low and Ultra totaling 112.2 FPS.

At 2560x1440, the Low preset averages 180.7 FPS, Medium averages 131.3 FPS, High averages 110.8 FPS, and Ultra averages 85.7 FPS. The scaling from Low to Ultra shows a 95 FPS drop, but every preset still exceeds 60 FPS, with the Ultra setting maintaining an 85.7 FPS average.

At 3840x2160, the Low preset averages 117.6 FPS, Medium averages 84.6 FPS, High averages 73.2 FPS, and Ultra averages 55.2 FPS. The Ultra preset is the only configuration that falls below the 60 FPS threshold, while the other three presets remain playable. The data shows a 62.4 FPS difference between Low and Ultra at this resolution, highlighting the GPU’s workload at 4K.
