Lockdown Protocol

The AMD Ryzen 7 5800X paired with the AMD Radeon RX 6750 XT delivers a highly capable Lockdown Protocol experience, with the data showing that 1080p and 1440p gaming are fully saturated at high refresh rates, while 4K requires a compromise on settings to stay smooth. Benchmark results indicate this combo is firmly above the playable threshold of 60 FPS at all tested resolutions with the right preset, though the gap between the most demanding and least demanding settings is significant, especially at 4K.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 3840x2160, the measured FPS data reveals a steep performance curve that places a hard limit on visual fidelity. With the Ultra preset, the average frame rate drops to 46.7 FPS, which falls below the 60 FPS playable threshold and indicates a stutter-prone experience in fast-paced firefights. Dropping to High settings recovers a meaningful margin, yielding an average of 56.4 FPS, but this still misses the 60 FPS target. The Medium preset delivers a comfortable 68.8 FPS average, providing a stable baseline for 4K gameplay. The Low preset is notably faster, producing an average of 97.7 FPS, which is more than double the Ultra result and suggests that the game’s rendering load at 4K is heavily dependent on the quality settings applied.

Moving to 2560x1440, the combination shows far more headroom across the board. The Low preset achieves an impressive 145.8 FPS average, while the Medium preset maintains a strong 101.7 FPS. High settings still deliver a smooth 88.6 FPS average, and even the Ultra preset clears the 60 FPS threshold with room to spare, posting 70.8 FPS. The scaling from Low to Ultra at this resolution shows a performance reduction of roughly half, but every preset remains playable, which makes 1440p the sweet spot for balancing visual quality and frame rate.

At 1920x1080, the data shows that this combo is largely unrestricted by the CPU or GPU. The Low preset produces a blistering 202.4 FPS average, which is ideal for competitive play on high-refresh-rate monitors. The Medium preset follows at 142.7 FPS, and High settings deliver 124.8 FPS. Even the Ultra preset, which is the most demanding configuration tested, reaches a 92.1 FPS average, comfortably exceeding the 60 FPS threshold and leaving substantial overhead for streaming or background tasks. The min and max FPS values are not provided in the data, so the analysis relies solely on average frame rates, but the consistency across presets suggests a well-balanced system.

Similar Performance Alternatives

For the CPU, the AMD Ryzen 7 5800X sits in a tight performance cluster based on average benchmark scores. The nearest rival is the Intel Core Ultra 5 135H, which scores 29093 compared to the 5800X’s 29123, a negligible difference of 0.1% that would result in virtually identical frame pacing in Lockdown Protocol. The Intel Core i5-13500HX is marginally behind at 29270, with a deltaPct of -0.5%, meaning the 5800X holds a slight edge. The AMD Ryzen 5 5600XT is also close, scoring 28940 with a 0.6% delta, so users moving between these processors should expect no meaningful change in game performance. The Intel Xeon Phi 7210, despite its server pedigree, posts a score of 29245, which is only 0.4% higher than the 5800X, making it an irrelevant differentiator for gaming workloads.

On the GPU side, the AMD Radeon RX 6750 XT has a more varied set of nearest rivals, though all are within a narrow band. The AMD Radeon R9 M395X scores 25891, which is 0.5% lower than the RX 6750 XT’s 26011 average score, indicating that the desktop card is only marginally faster. The AMD FirePro W7100 and FirePro D700 are similarly close, with scores of 25856 and 25842 respectively, showing deltas of 0.6% and 0.7%. Perhaps the most notable rival is the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 Ti Mobile, which scores 25740 and trails by 1.1%. This suggests that the RX 6750 XT outperforms even a high-end mobile GPU in synthetic benchmarks, and in Lockdown Protocol, the measured FPS would align closely with these relative standings, though the exact in-game deltas are not provided.

Best Settings per Resolution

At 3840x2160, the most demanding preset that maintains an average of at least 60 FPS is Medium, which delivers 68.8 FPS. The High preset falls short at 56.4 FPS, so Medium is the definitive recommendation for 4K play. At 2560x1440, the Ultra preset is the best choice, as it achieves 70.8 FPS and remains above the 60 FPS threshold, allowing users to max out the game’s visual options without sacrificing smoothness. At 1920x1080, the Ultra preset is again the top pick, posting 92.1 FPS, which is well above the playable threshold and leaves no reason to reduce settings on a standard 60 Hz or even 144 Hz display.

The Verdict

The data confirms that this PC can run Lockdown Protocol effectively at every resolution tested, but the margin of playability varies. At 3840x2160, the system is only playable on Low and Medium presets, with the best playable setting being Medium at 68.8 FPS. The High and Ultra presets fail to reach 60 FPS, so 4K users must accept reduced visual fidelity for a smooth experience. At 2560x1440, the verdict is unequivocal: all four presets, from Low to Ultra, clear the 60 FPS threshold, with the Ultra preset at 70.8 FPS being the recommended choice for maximum quality. At 1920x1080, the system is fully playable across all settings, and the Ultra preset at 92.1 FPS provides a high-quality experience that is suitable for fast-paced gameplay. Overall, this combo is a strong match for Lockdown Protocol, with the caveat that 4K Ultra is out of reach.

CPU and GPU Roles

The scaling between resolutions and presets indicates that the GPU is the primary bottleneck at higher resolutions, while the CPU plays a supporting role that becomes more relevant at lower resolutions and higher frame rates. At 3840x2160, the gap between Low and Ultra is substantial, with the average FPS dropping from 97.7 to 46.7, a reduction of over half. This steep decline is characteristic of GPU-bound scenarios, where the Radeon RX 6750 XT’s rendering throughput is the limiting factor. The CPU’s role at 4K is less critical, as the frame rates are lower and the per-frame CPU workload is easier to manage.

At 2560x1440, the performance pattern remains similar, with the Ultra preset at 70.8 FPS and the Low preset at 145.8 FPS. The GPU still dominates the workload, but the CPU begins to show its capability, as the Ryzen 7 5800X’s 8-core, 16-thread configuration ensures that frame pacing remains consistent even at higher FPS. At 1920x1080, the CPU’s importance becomes more pronounced. The Low preset hits 202.4 FPS, which is a demanding scenario for any processor, and the fact that the combo sustains this level indicates that the CPU is not a bottleneck. The scaling at 1080p from Low to Ultra (202.4 down to 92.1 FPS) is still driven by GPU load, but the absolute FPS numbers suggest that the CPU can feed the GPU efficiently at high rates. In summary, the GPU is the decisive component for visual quality at 4K and 1440p, while the CPU ensures that 1080p and lower presets do not leave performance on the table.

How This Combo Ranks

Among all tested combinations in the database for Lockdown Protocol, this pairing of the AMD Ryzen 7 5800X and AMD Radeon RX 6750 XT ranks 1688th out of 3714 combos. This places it in the upper-middle tier of the rankings, indicating that it outperforms more than half of the tested systems while trailing the top-tier configurations that would feature higher-end CPUs and GPUs. The percentile standings support this view: the CPU ranks in the 81st percentile versus all CPUs, and the GPU ranks in the 71st percentile versus all GPUs, so the combo is well-balanced with a slight CPU advantage. The rank of 1688 suggests that while this system is not at the bleeding edge of performance, it delivers a consistently playable experience across the board, and the measured FPS data confirms that it is well-suited for Lockdown Protocol at 1440p and 1080p, with 4K available at reduced settings.
