Lockdown Protocol

Measured FPS Breakdown

The recorded data for Lockdown Protocol shows a clear performance ladder across resolutions and presets. At 1920x1080, the combination of the AMD Ryzen 7 5800X and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070 SUPER delivers strong headroom. The Low preset averages 175 FPS, Medium averages 125 FPS with a minimum of 106 FPS and maximum of 143 FPS, High averages 109 FPS, and Ultra averages 82 FPS. The spread from Low to Ultra is 93 FPS, indicating that the game scales substantially with graphical settings at this resolution.

Moving to 2560x1440, the averages step down but remain solidly playable. Low produces 129 FPS, Medium delivers 91 FPS with a 78 FPS minimum and 105 FPS maximum, High reaches 80 FPS, and Ultra settles at exactly 60 FPS. The gap between Low and Ultra here is 69 FPS, a narrower range than at 1080p, which suggests the GPU begins to take on more of the workload as pixel count rises.

At 3840x2160, the picture changes considerably. Low still manages 83 FPS, but Medium drops to 59 FPS average with a 50 FPS minimum and 68 FPS maximum. High falls to 51 FPS, and Ultra lands at 39 FPS. The difference between Low and Ultra at 4K is 44 FPS, and notably, the Medium preset at 4K is the only recorded setting in the entire dataset that fails to reach the 60 FPS playable threshold on average. The minimum FPS values were not recorded for most presets, but the Medium preset at each resolution provides the only complete min/max data points.

CPU and GPU Roles

The scaling behavior across resolutions reveals how the workload shifts between the CPU and GPU. At 1920x1080, the CPU-heavy nature of the pairing is evident: the Ryzen 7 5800X, with its 8 cores and 16 threads, keeps frame rates high even at Low settings, where the GPU is less stressed. The jump from Low to Medium at 1080p costs 50 FPS, while the jump from Medium to High costs only 16 FPS, and High to Ultra costs another 27 FPS. This uneven scaling suggests that at lower resolutions, the RTX 2070 SUPER is not the primary limiter until Ultra settings are applied.

At 2560x1440, the GPU becomes more influential. The transition from Low to Medium costs 38 FPS, Medium to High costs 11 FPS, and High to Ultra costs 20 FPS. The overall reduction from 1080p to 1440p at each preset is consistent: Low drops by 46 FPS, Medium by 34 FPS, High by 29 FPS, and Ultra by 22 FPS. The diminishing gaps at higher settings indicate that the GPU is increasingly saturated as resolution rises, while the CPU still has headroom to spare.

At 3840x2160, the GPU is clearly the dominant constraint. The RTX 2070 SUPER, with 8 GB of GDDR6 memory and a 256-bit bus, shows its limits: Low to Medium costs 24 FPS, Medium to High costs 8 FPS, and High to Ultra costs 12 FPS. The 4K results also show the smallest absolute differences between presets, a hallmark of a GPU-bound scenario where the CPU is no longer the bottleneck. The recorded data supports the interpretation that this pairing is balanced at 1440p, CPU-leaning at 1080p, and GPU-bound at 4K.

Similar Performance Alternatives

The nearest rivals for the CPU place the Ryzen 7 5800X in a tightly packed performance band. The Intel Core Ultra 5 135H scores 29093, a delta of 0.1 percent relative to the 5800X, meaning the two are effectively identical in average benchmark score. The Intel Xeon Phi 7210 scores 29245, a negative delta of 0.4 percent, and the Intel Core i5-13500HX scores 29270, also negative at 0.5 percent. The AMD Ryzen 5 5600XT scores 28940, a positive delta of 0.6 percent. In practical terms, any of these CPUs would produce nearly indistinguishable frame rates in Lockdown Protocol when paired with the same GPU, since the differences are all within one percent.

On the GPU side, the RTX 2070 SUPER sits close to several alternatives. The NVIDIA Quadro M4000M scores 20480, a negative delta of 1 percent. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Mobile scores 20534, negative 1.2 percent. The Intel Arc B570 scores 20556, negative 1.3 percent, and the Intel Arc A750 scores 20582, negative 1.5 percent. All of these GPUs are within 1.5 percent of the RTX 2070 SUPER's average score of 20282, so users with any of these cards would expect similar performance in this game, assuming comparable driver behavior and thermal conditions. The data does not include rival-specific game benchmarks, but the synthetic averages align closely enough to suggest near-equivalent outcomes.

The Verdict

The recorded measurements answer the question directly: yes, this PC can run Lockdown Protocol, but the experience depends heavily on resolution. At 1920x1080, all four presets clear the 60 FPS threshold. Low averages 175 FPS, Medium 125 FPS, High 109 FPS, and Ultra 82 FPS. The Ultra preset at 1080p remains 22 FPS above the playable threshold, so there is no risk of dropping below 60 FPS in typical gameplay.

At 2560x1440, every preset also clears 60 FPS. Ultra averages exactly 60 FPS, which meets the threshold but leaves no headroom for demanding scenes; the Medium preset offers a safer 91 FPS average with a 78 FPS minimum. At 3840x2160, only the Low preset is playable by the database's standard, averaging 83 FPS. Medium falls just short at 59 FPS, High drops to 51 FPS, and Ultra bottoms out at 39 FPS. For 4K users, the data recommends sticking to Low settings for a consistent experience above 60 FPS.

How This Combo Ranks

Within the database of tested combinations, this pairing ranks 2165 out of 3714 total combos for Lockdown Protocol. That places it in the middle of the distribution, roughly in the 42nd percentile of all tested systems. The rank reflects the balanced nature of the Ryzen 7 5800X and RTX 2070 SUPER: it is neither a top-tier enthusiast setup nor a low-end configuration. The CPU's 81st percentile ranking against all CPUs and the GPU's 65th percentile ranking against all GPUs together produce a mid-pack result for this game, which aligns with the measured FPS data showing strong 1080p and 1440p performance but 4K limitations.

Best Settings per Resolution

For each resolution, the most demanding preset that maintains an average of at least 60 FPS is as follows. At 1920x1080, the Ultra preset is the best choice, delivering an average of 82 FPS. This is 22 FPS above the threshold, so even with occasional dips, the experience should remain fluid. At 2560x1440, the Ultra preset also qualifies, averaging exactly 60 FPS. However, because the average equals the threshold, the Medium preset at 91 FPS may be a more practical choice for users who prefer margin against frame-time spikes; the data shows Medium's minimum FPS at 78 FPS, indicating the floor stays well above 60.

At 3840x2160, the Low preset is the only option that clears the 60 FPS bar, averaging 83 FPS. The Medium preset at 59 FPS misses the threshold by one frame, which the data flags as not playable by the database's definition. The recommended settings by resolution are therefore Ultra at 1080p and 1440p, and Low at 4K.
