Lockdown Protocol

In Lockdown Protocol, the AMD Ryzen 7 5800XT and AMD Radeon RX 6800 XT combination ranks 1161st out of 3714 tested combos, placing it in the upper third of all configurations. This position indicates a strong pairing for the game, as the combo outperforms the majority of tested systems. The ranking reflects a balance between the CPU's 81st percentile score among all processors and the GPU's 85th percentile among all graphics cards, suggesting that neither component is a drastic outlier that drags the overall performance down. The data shows that this combo sits comfortably ahead of the median tested setup, making it a reliable choice for Lockdown Protocol at most settings.

How This Combo Ranks

The combination of the Ryzen 7 5800XT and RX 6800 XT achieves a rank of 1161 out of 3714 tested combos in Lockdown Protocol, placing it in the 68.7th percentile of all tested systems. This means the combo outperforms roughly two-thirds of the configurations benchmarked for this game, while the remaining third delivers higher frame rates. The rank is consistent with the individual component standings: the CPU ranks in the 81st percentile against all tested CPUs, and the GPU ranks in the 85th percentile against all tested GPUs. When both parts are paired, the combined performance is slightly lower than what either component's percentile alone might suggest, indicating that the game's engine does not perfectly scale with both high-end CPU and GPU resources simultaneously. Still, the data shows a very playable system across most resolutions, with the only sub-60 FPS result occurring at 4K Ultra settings.

CPU and GPU Roles

The benchmark data reveals a clear shift in component responsibility depending on resolution and preset. At 1920x1080, the CPU plays a more significant role relative to the GPU, as evidenced by the large FPS jumps when lowering settings. At 1080p Low, the combo produces 242 FPS, while at 1080p Ultra it drops to 113 FPS. This 129 FPS spread across settings indicates that the GPU is the limiting factor even at lower resolutions, since the CPU is capable of feeding the GPU at high rates. The Ryzen 7 5800XT's single-thread score of 959 in 3DMark and its Cinebench R23 single-core score of 3359 suggest it can handle the game's logic, but the GPU's workload becomes dominant as pixel count increases. At 2560x1440, the scaling is similar: Low produces 177 FPS, while Ultra yields 82 FPS, a 95 FPS difference. The GPU's role grows more pronounced at 3840x2160, where the difference between Low (115 FPS) and Ultra (53 FPS) is 62 FPS, and the CPU's influence diminishes. The data indicates that at 4K, the RX 6800 XT's 16 GB of GDDR6 memory and 512.0 GB/s bandwidth become critical, as the GPU's 20.74 TFLOPS FP32 compute is taxed heavily. Across all resolutions, the gap between Medium and High settings is smaller than the gap between Low and Medium, suggesting that the GPU handles moderate settings efficiently but struggles with the most demanding presets at higher resolutions.

Similar Performance Alternatives

The nearest rivals for the Ryzen 7 5800XT provide insight into what other CPUs would offer similar performance in this combo. The AMD Ryzen 7 7840H has an average benchmark score of 29868, which is essentially identical to the 5800XT's 29879 score, with a deltaPct of 0. This means swapping to the 7840H would yield nearly indistinguishable frame rates in Lockdown Protocol. The AMD Ryzen 7 8845HS and AMD Ryzen 7 7840HS both score 29955, which is 0.3% higher than the 5800XT, resulting in a negligible FPS improvement that would be imperceptible in gameplay. The AMD Ryzen 5 9600X scores 29713, which is 0.6% lower, meaning it would deliver slightly lower but still comparable performance. On the GPU side, the NVIDIA RTX A1000 Mobile scores 47743, which is 1.5% lower than the RX 6800 XT's 48477 average, so it would produce marginally lower frame rates. The Intel Arc A550M scores 49737, which is 2.5% higher, offering a small performance uplift, while the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti and AMD Radeon RX Vega 64 both score around 49957-50001, which is 3% higher, providing a modest improvement in FPS. These alternatives suggest that users could swap to any of these components and see very similar behavior in Lockdown Protocol, with differences of only a few frames per second.

FAQ

Q: What is the highest playable setting at 3840x2160?

A: The highest playable setting at 4K is High, which produces an average of 71 FPS. Ultra settings drop below the 60 FPS threshold with an average of 53 FPS, making it unplayable by the benchmark's standard.

Q: Can this combo run Lockdown Protocol at 1440p with maximum settings?

A: Yes, at 2560x1440 Ultra settings, the combo achieves an average of 82 FPS, which is well above the 60 FPS playable threshold. All four settings (Low, Medium, High, Ultra) are playable at this resolution.

Q: How much faster is 1080p Low compared to 4K Ultra?

A: At 1920x1080 Low, the combo produces 242 FPS, while at 3840x2160 Ultra it produces 53 FPS. This represents a 189 FPS difference, with the 1080p Low setting being roughly 4.6 times faster than 4K Ultra.

Q: What is the minimum FPS recorded for this combo?

A: The lowest minimum FPS recorded is 69 at 3840x2160 Medium settings, with an average of 81 FPS and a maximum of 94 FPS. The only other recorded minimum is 107 at 2560x1440 Medium, and 146 at 1920x1080 Medium.

Q: Is the CPU or GPU more important for high FPS at 1080p?

A: The data shows that at 1080p, the GPU is the limiting factor, as lowering settings from Ultra to Low increases FPS from 113 to 242. The CPU's single-thread performance of 959 in 3DMark and 3359 in Cinebench R23 single-core is sufficient to avoid bottlenecking at these frame rates.

Q: Does this combo ever drop below 60 FPS at 1440p?

A: No, at 2560x1440, the lowest average FPS is 82 at Ultra settings, and the lowest recorded minimum FPS is 107 at Medium settings. All settings at this resolution remain comfortably above the 60 FPS playable threshold.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The benchmark data provides exact average FPS figures for each resolution and settings combination, with minimum and maximum values recorded for Medium settings only. At 3840x2160, the combo produces 115 FPS on Low, 81 FPS on Medium (with a minimum of 69 and maximum of 94), 71 FPS on High, and 53 FPS on Ultra. At 2560x1440, the results are 177 FPS on Low, 126 FPS on Medium (minimum 107, maximum 145), 110 FPS on High, and 82 FPS on Ultra. At 1920x1080, the combo delivers 242 FPS on Low, 172 FPS on Medium (minimum 146, maximum 198), 150 FPS on High, and 113 FPS on Ultra. The data shows a consistent pattern where each resolution step down (from 4K to 1440p to 1080p) yields roughly 1.5 to 2 times the FPS at the same settings. For example, High settings produce 71 FPS at 4K, 110 FPS at 1440p, and 150 FPS at 1080p. The Medium settings show the smallest relative drops, with only a 45 FPS difference between 4K and 1080p, indicating that the GPU handles this preset efficiently across resolutions. The maximum FPS values, where available, show that the combo can burst well above averages, with 198 FPS at 1080p Medium being the highest recorded maximum.

Best Settings per Resolution

At 3840x2160, the most demanding preset that stays at or above 60 FPS is High, which achieves an average of 71 FPS. Ultra settings fall to 53 FPS, which is below the playable threshold, making High the optimal choice for 4K. At 2560x1440, all four presets are playable, with Ultra delivering 82 FPS as the highest quality option that maintains 60+ FPS. This makes Ultra the best settings at 1440p, as it provides the maximum visual fidelity without sacrificing playability. At 1920x1080, the combo achieves 113 FPS on Ultra, which is the most demanding preset and remains well above the 60 FPS threshold. Therefore, Ultra is the recommended setting at 1080p, allowing players to enjoy the full graphical experience with a comfortable 53 FPS headroom over the minimum playable threshold. The data indicates that this combo is best suited for 1080p and 1440p gaming, where it can run the game at maximum settings, while 4K requires a compromise to High settings to maintain smooth gameplay.
