Lockdown Protocol

The AMD Ryzen 7 5800X paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti delivers a high-performance benchmark profile for Lockdown Protocol, with measured frame rates that comfortably exceed the 60 FPS playability threshold across every resolution and preset combination tested. The data indicates a system that is not merely playable but overwhelmingly capable, leaving substantial performance headroom even at 4K Ultra settings.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The measured FPS data for this combination reveals a consistent scaling pattern across resolutions and presets, with the RTX 5070 Ti's 896.0 GB/s of memory bandwidth and 43.94 TFLOPS of FP32 compute providing ample headroom for the engine's demands.

At 1920x1080, the system operates at exceptionally high frame rates. The Low preset averages 271 FPS, which represents the absolute ceiling of the measured data at this resolution. Moving to Medium, the average drops to 223 FPS, with a minimum of 189 FPS and a maximum of 256 FPS, showing that even the lowest recorded frame stays far above the 60 FPS threshold. The High preset averages 194 FPS, while the Ultra preset, the most demanding configuration, still averages 146 FPS. This indicates that at 1080p, the bottleneck is almost entirely removed, and the GPU is delivering frame rates that would satisfy even high-refresh-rate monitor owners.

At 2560x1440, the performance remains exceptionally strong. The Low preset averages 230 FPS, a modest reduction from the 1080p figure, but still an extremely high number. The Medium preset averages 163 FPS, with a minimum of 139 FPS and a maximum of 188 FPS. This 139 FPS minimum is critical; it demonstrates that even in the most demanding scenes, the frame rate does not dip below a level that would cause perceptible stuttering on standard 144Hz displays. The High preset averages 142 FPS, while the Ultra preset averages 107 FPS. The transition from 1080p to 1440p shows a predictable performance cost, but the system retains a massive margin above the playability threshold.

At 3840x2160, the system's capabilities are truly tested, yet it still delivers excellent results. The Low preset averages 148 FPS, which is a surprisingly high figure for 4K and underscores the raw power of the RTX 5070 Ti. The Medium preset averages 105 FPS, with a minimum of 90 FPS and a maximum of 121 FPS. This 90 FPS minimum at 4K Medium is notable, as it indicates the system can maintain a smooth experience even during intense action sequences. The High preset averages 92 FPS, while the Ultra preset, the most graphically intensive setting available, averages 69 FPS. The data shows a clear progression: each step up in preset quality at 4K costs roughly 20-30 FPS on average, but the system never falls below the 60 FPS playability threshold, even at the highest settings.

It is importantly the Medium preset is the only configuration in the measured data that includes explicit minimum and maximum values across all resolutions. This provides a more complete picture of frame time consistency. At 1080p Medium, the variance between the 189 FPS minimum and 256 FPS maximum is 67 FPS, while at 1440p Medium, that variance is 49 FPS. At 4K Medium, the variance narrows to 31 FPS, suggesting that at higher resolutions, the frame rate becomes more consistent as the GPU is more uniformly utilized.

Similar Performance Alternatives

The benchmark data places the AMD Ryzen 7 5800X in a specific performance tier relative to other processors. Its average benchmark score of 29123 puts it in the 81st percentile of all CPUs tested, and its nearest rivals show how close the competition is.

The Intel Core Ultra 5 135H is the closest rival, with an average score of 29093, a delta of just 0.1 percent. This means that in CPU-bound scenarios, the Ryzen 7 5800X and this Intel mobile processor would behave almost identically. Similarly, the AMD Ryzen 5 5600XT, with an average score of 28940 and a delta of 0.6 percent, is another near-identical performer. On the other side, the Intel Xeon Phi 7210 scores 29245 (a delta of -0.4 percent), and the Intel Core i5-13500HX scores 29270 (a delta of -0.5 percent). These delta values are all within a single percentage point, indicating that any of these CPUs would produce virtually indistinguishable frame rates in Lockdown Protocol when paired with the same GPU.

For the GPU side, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti has an average benchmark score of 49957, placing it in the 86th percentile of all GPUs. Its nearest rival is the AMD Radeon RX Vega 64, which scores 50001, a delta of -0.1 percent. This is a remarkably close match, meaning that in GPU-bound scenarios, these two cards would deliver nearly identical performance. The Intel Arc A550M is also close, with a score of 49737 and a delta of 0.4 percent. The AMD Radeon RX 6900 XT scores 50951, a delta of -2 percent, and the AMD Radeon RX 6800 XT scores 48477, a delta of 3.1 percent. While these last two are slightly further apart, the deltas remain small enough that users upgrading from any of these cards to the RTX 5070 Ti would see a measurable but modest improvement in Lockdown Protocol.

The practical implication of these rival data points is that a system built with the Ryzen 7 5800X and any of these comparable GPUs would produce similar results. Conversely, pairing the RTX 5070 Ti with a CPU like the Intel Core i5-13500HX would not meaningfully change the outcome, as the delta is negligible.

Best Settings per Resolution

The data identifies the most demanding preset that maintains an average frame rate at or above 60 FPS for each resolution. In every case, the system can handle the Ultra preset, which is the highest quality setting available in the game.

At 1920x1080, the best settings are Ultra, with an average FPS of 146. This is more than double the 60 FPS threshold, providing a substantial buffer for demanding scenes. At 2560x1440, the best settings are also Ultra, with an average FPS of 107. This is still well above the threshold, and the 107 FPS average means that the frame rate will rarely, if ever, dip below 60 FPS in typical gameplay. At 3840x2160, the best settings are again Ultra, with an average FPS of 69. This is the closest the system comes to the threshold, but it still clears it by 9 FPS on average. The verdict data confirms that all four presets—Low, Medium, High, and Ultra—are playable at every resolution, which is an unusual result for a demanding FPS title.

The Verdict

The benchmark data answers the fundamental question decisively: this PC can absolutely run Lockdown Protocol, and it does so with exceptional headroom. The verdict by resolution is unambiguous, as all tested settings are marked as playable.

At 3840x2160, all four presets are playable, with the best being Ultra at an average of 69 FPS. This means that a user with a 4K display can enable maximum graphical fidelity and still enjoy a smooth experience. At 2560x1440, the same holds true, with Ultra averaging 107 FPS, which is ideal for high-refresh-rate 1440p monitors. At 1920x1080, Ultra averages 146 FPS, which is sufficient for 144Hz displays and even approaches the refresh rates of 165Hz panels.

The playable threshold is set at 60 FPS, and the system exceeds it by a wide margin in every scenario. The only point of caution is the 4K Ultra result of 69 FPS; while this is above the threshold, it is the closest margin in the dataset. Users who are sensitive to frame rate drops in highly populated or particle-heavy scenes may prefer the 4K High preset at 92 FPS for additional consistency, but the data does not indicate that 4K Ultra is unplayable.
