Lockdown Protocol

The AMD Ryzen 7 5800X3D paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 delivers a strong performance profile for Lockdown Protocol, with benchmark results showing this combination ranks 865th out of 3714 tested combos, placing it comfortably in the upper tier of systems. The data indicates that this pairing excels across all tested resolutions, with the RTX 4070’s Ada Lovelace architecture and the 5800X3D’s 3D V-Cache technology combining to produce consistently high frame rates that scale predictably with settings changes.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the combo produces exceptional headroom for high-refresh displays. The Low preset averages 252.4 FPS, which is the highest recorded figure across all resolution and settings combinations. Moving up the quality ladder, Medium delivers 186.5 FPS average, while High still maintains a robust 162.7 FPS average. Even the most demanding Ultra preset at this resolution holds an average of 120.5 FPS, meaning every settings configuration at 1080p clears the 60 FPS playability threshold by a significant margin.

Stepping up to 2560x1440 shows expected scaling but retains excellent playability. The Low preset hits 193.7 FPS average, while Medium dips to 136.4 FPS and High settles at 117.9 FPS. The Ultra preset at this resolution averages 90.4 FPS, which remains well above the 60 FPS threshold and indicates that the RTX 4070 has sufficient bandwidth and compute resources to handle the increased pixel count without compromising the experience.

At 3840x2160, the performance curve becomes more demanding. The Low preset still delivers a very playable 121.9 FPS average, and the Medium preset maintains 88.2 FPS. High quality settings at 4K produce a 78.4 FPS average, which remains smooth. However, the Ultra preset at this resolution drops to 55.1 FPS average, falling below the 60 FPS playability threshold. This represents the only configuration in the tested matrix that fails to meet the playability standard, indicating that 4K Ultra is the sole limitation for this hardware pairing.

How This Combo Ranks

The combo’s position of 865th out of 3714 tested combinations places it in the top 23.3 percent of all systems evaluated for Lockdown Protocol. This ranking reflects the balanced nature of the pairing: the Ryzen 7 5800X3D’s 8-core, 16-thread configuration with 96 MB of shared L3 cache provides strong gaming performance, while the RTX 4070’s 5888 shading units and 12 GB of GDDR6X memory deliver substantial graphics throughput.

The CPU’s benchmark scores support its role in this ranking. The processor achieves a Cinebench R23 multicore score of 14317 and a single-core score of 1452, with a Passmark multithread score of 28309. These figures indicate that the 5800X3D is not a bottleneck at any tested resolution, as even the most demanding 4K Ultra preset shows the GPU becoming the limiting factor rather than the CPU.

The GPU’s Passmark G3D score of 26927 and its 81st percentile ranking among all GPUs further contextualize the combo’s position. The graphics card’s nearest rivals include the NVIDIA Tesla P4 with an average score of 37628 (0.1 percent delta), the AMD Radeon RX Vega 56 at 37507 (0.4 percent delta), and the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 Mobile at 38135 (-1.3 percent delta). These close benchmark scores suggest that the RTX 4070 sits in a tightly competitive performance band.

A: At 3840x2160, the gap between Low (121.9 FPS) and Ultra (55.1 FPS) is 66.8 FPS, the largest difference among all tested resolutions. The 1080p gap is 131.9 FPS, but the 4K gap represents a more significant proportional drop.

The Verdict

The AMD Ryzen 7 5800X3D and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 combination can run Lockdown Protocol with clear playability across nearly all tested configurations. At 1920x1080, all four presets clear 60 FPS, with Ultra averaging 120.5 FPS. At 2560x1440, all presets also exceed 60 FPS, with Ultra maintaining 90.4 FPS average.

At 3840x2160, three of four presets are playable: High (78.4 FPS), Medium (88.2 FPS), and Low (121.9 FPS). The Ultra preset at 55.1 FPS average falls below the 60 FPS playability threshold and should be avoided at this resolution. The verdict data indicates that the system’s best 4K experience is High settings, which delivers an average of 78.4 FPS.

For users targeting the highest visual quality, 2560x1440 Ultra represents the sweet spot, offering full settings with a 90.4 FPS average. The system handles 1080p with exceptional headroom, making it suitable for high-refresh monitors.

The AMD Radeon PRO W6400 at 37157 shows a 1.3 percent delta, meaning it would perform slightly lower. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 Mobile at 38135 (-1.3 percent delta) would offer marginally better performance. These alternatives suggest that users with similar-scoring GPUs would experience frame rates within a few percent of the RTX 4070’s results.

Best Settings per Resolution

At 1920x1080, the Ultra preset is the most demanding configuration that stays at or above 60 FPS, delivering an average of 120.5 FPS. This provides the maximum visual fidelity while maintaining substantial headroom above the playability threshold.

At 2560x1440, the Ultra preset also remains the best choice, averaging 90.4 FPS. This configuration balances quality and performance, with enough frame rate margin to handle demanding scenes without dropping below 60 FPS.

At 3840x2160, the High preset is the most demanding playable option, achieving an average of 78.4 FPS. The Ultra preset falls short at 55.1 FPS, so High represents the optimal balance of visual quality and smooth performance at 4K. The Medium preset at 88.2 FPS offers an alternative for users who prefer additional frame rate headroom over slightly higher graphical fidelity.
