Performance Analysis: Lockdown Protocol on Your System
The AMD Ryzen 7 5800X paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5050 is a capable 1080p and 1440p combo for Lockdown Protocol, but it falls short of delivering a consistently smooth experience at 4K Ultra settings. Benchmark data shows the system achieves its best playable experience at 1920x1080 with Ultra settings, where it averages 78 FPS. At 2560x1440, the most demanding playable preset is High, yielding an average of 76 FPS. The 4K ceiling is significantly lower: only Low settings remain comfortably playable, with an average of 79 FPS, while Medium dips to 56 FPS and Ultra falls to 37 FPS. The combo ranks 2293rd out of 3714 tested combinations for this game, placing it in the lower-middle tier of the database.
Measured FPS Breakdown
At 1920x1080, the combo demonstrates strong headroom across all presets. Low settings produce an average of 168 FPS, which is the highest recorded for this configuration. Medium settings average 119 FPS, with a minimum of 101 FPS and a maximum of 137 FPS. High settings average 104 FPS. Ultra settings, the most demanding preset at this resolution, still manage an average of 78 FPS. The data shows a clear progression: dropping from Low to Ultra reduces the average by 90 FPS, a 53.6% decline. Even at Ultra, the minimum frame rate is not reported, but the average comfortably exceeds the 60 FPS playability threshold.
Moving to 2560x1440, the performance scales down noticeably. Low settings average 123 FPS, which is 45 FPS lower than the same preset at 1080p. Medium settings average 87 FPS, with a minimum of 74 FPS and a maximum of 100 FPS. High settings average 76 FPS. Ultra settings drop to an average of 57 FPS, which falls below the 60 FPS playability threshold. The gap between Low and Ultra at 1440p is 66 FPS, a 53.7% reduction. The minimum FPS at Medium is 74, which means even in demanding scenes, the combo stays above the playable threshold at that preset.
At 3840x2160, the picture changes dramatically. Low settings average 79 FPS, making it the only playable preset at this resolution. Medium settings average 56 FPS, with a minimum of 48 FPS and a maximum of 65 FPS. High settings average 49 FPS. Ultra settings average 37 FPS. The scaling from Low to Ultra is steep: a 42 FPS drop, representing a 53.2% reduction. The minimum FPS at Medium (48) is well below the 60 FPS threshold, indicating noticeable stutter in heavier scenes. The data indicates that 4K gaming with this combo requires significant settings compromises.
Best Settings per Resolution
For 1920x1080, the best settings that stay at or above 60 FPS are Ultra. The average FPS at Ultra is 78, which provides a comfortable margin above the playability threshold. This is the highest preset available, so the combo fully saturates the 1080p experience. There is no need to drop below Ultra for a smooth frame rate.
At 2560x1440, the most demanding preset that maintains an average of 60 FPS or higher is High, with an average of 76 FPS. Medium also qualifies at 87 FPS, and Low at 123 FPS, but High offers the best visual quality while remaining playable. Ultra falls short at 57 FPS, so it is not recommended for a consistent 60 FPS experience.
For 3840x2160, the only preset that stays at or above 60 FPS is Low, with an average of 79 FPS. Medium averages 56 FPS, which is below the threshold. High and Ultra are even lower at 49 and 37 FPS, respectively. The data shows that 4K users must accept Low settings to achieve playable frame rates with this hardware pairing.
How This Combo Ranks
The combo ranks 2293rd out of 3714 tested combinations for Lockdown Protocol. This places it in the 61.7th percentile of all tested systems, meaning roughly 38% of tested combos perform worse. The rank reflects a mid-tier position: the system is neither a top performer nor a low-end outlier. The CPU alone sits in the 81st percentile among all tested CPUs, while the GPU ranks in the 66th percentile among all tested GPUs. This disparity suggests the GPU is the more limiting factor for this game, as it ranks lower relative to its peers.
The combination’s overall rank is dragged down by the GPU’s mid-tier standing. The CPU’s high percentile ranking indicates it has ample headroom, but the GPU’s lower percentile means it struggles to translate that CPU capability into high frame rates, particularly at higher resolutions. The measured FPS data supports this: the system handles 1080p Ultra well, but 4K Ultra is far from playable. In the context of the full database, this combo is a solid 1080p performer and a passable 1440p option, but it is not built for 4K gaming.
Similar Performance Alternatives
On the CPU side, the AMD Ryzen 7 5800X has an average benchmark score of 29123. Its nearest rivals are the Intel Core Ultra 5 135H, with an average score of 29093 and a delta of 0.1%, and the Intel Xeon Phi 7210, which scores 29245 with a delta of -0.4%. The Intel Core i5-13500HX scores 29270, a 0.5% delta, and the AMD Ryzen 5 5600XT scores 28940, a 0.6% delta. These processors would behave nearly identically in this game, with performance differences well within a single percentage point. Users swapping between these CPUs should expect no measurable change in Lockdown Protocol frame rates.
On the GPU side, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5050 has an average benchmark score of 21035. Its nearest rivals include the AMD Radeon RX Vega M GL, which scores 21153 with a delta of -0.6%, and the AMD Radeon HD 8970M, scoring 21237 with a delta of -1%. The AMD Radeon RX 5600 XT scores 20713, a 1.6% delta, and the NVIDIA RTX A4000 Mobile scores 21379, a -1.6% delta. These GPUs are all within a 1.6% performance band of the RTX 5050. In practical terms, any of these alternatives would produce nearly identical FPS numbers in Lockdown Protocol at the same settings and resolutions. The differences are so small that they would be imperceptible in real-world gameplay.
CPU and GPU Roles
The data indicates that the GPU is the primary bottleneck for this combo in Lockdown Protocol, especially as resolution increases. The GPU’s percentile rank (66th) is significantly lower than the CPU’s (81st), suggesting the GPU is less capable relative to its peers. This is reflected in the performance scaling: at 1080p Low, the average FPS is 168, but at 4K Low, it drops to 79. This 89 FPS reduction is almost entirely due to the GPU’s rendering load increasing with pixel count. The CPU, with its 8 cores and 16 threads, is unlikely to be the limiting factor at these frame rates.
The scaling between presets further clarifies the GPU’s role. At 1080p, dropping from Ultra (78 FPS) to Low (168 FPS) yields a 90 FPS improvement. At 1440p, the same preset change yields a 66 FPS improvement (57 to 123). At 4K, it yields a 42 FPS improvement (37 to 79). The diminishing returns as resolution increases indicate that the GPU is becoming more saturated. The CPU’s contribution is more evident at lower resolutions and higher frame rates, where it must feed the GPU with draw calls. However, the CPU’s high benchmark scores—such as a Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 15476 and a single-core score of 1574.5—suggest it has ample processing power for this game’s demands.
At 1080p Ultra, the system averages 78 FPS, which is a playable frame rate. At 1440p Ultra, it drops to 57 FPS, and at 4K Ultra, it falls to 37 FPS. This pattern shows that the GPU is the dominant factor in determining playability at higher resolutions. The CPU’s role becomes more noticeable only when frame rates are very high, such as the 168 FPS at 1080p Low, where the CPU must maintain that frame pacing. For most players, the GPU will dictate the experience.
