Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the recorded data shows a clear progression across presets. Low settings deliver an average of 131 FPS. Medium averages 93 FPS, with a minimum of 79 FPS and a maximum of 107 FPS. High averages 81 FPS. Ultra averages 61 FPS. All four presets clear the 60 FPS threshold, making 1080p the most flexible resolution for this combo.

At 2560x1440, the performance drops noticeably. Low settings average 96 FPS, still well above the mark. Medium averages 68 FPS, with a minimum of 58 FPS and a maximum of 78 FPS. High averages 59 FPS, just below the playable threshold. Ultra averages 45 FPS. The transition from Medium to High at this resolution is the first point where the combo dips below 60 FPS on average.

At 3840x2160, the results are heavily constrained. Low settings average 62 FPS, barely clearing the threshold. Medium averages 44 FPS, with a minimum of 37 FPS and a maximum of 50 FPS. High averages 38 FPS. Ultra averages 29 FPS. The step from Low to Medium at 4K costs 18 FPS on average, which is a substantial penalty.

The scaling between resolutions shows the GPU's workload. From 1080p Ultra at 61 FPS to 1440p Ultra at 45 FPS, the drop is 16 FPS. From 1440p Ultra at 45 FPS to 4K Ultra at 29 FPS, the drop is another 16 FPS. The pattern is consistent, indicating the GPU is the primary constraint at higher resolutions. The minimum and maximum values are only recorded for Medium presets, where the spread is 79 to 107 FPS at 1080p, 58 to 78 FPS at 1440p, and 37 to 50 FPS at 4K.

Similar Performance Alternatives

The CPU's nearest rivals in the database are all within a small margin of its average score of 29879. The AMD Ryzen 7 7840H scores 29868, a delta of 0 percent. The AMD Ryzen 7 8845HS scores 29955, a delta of -0.3 percent. The AMD Ryzen 7 7840HS scores 29955, a delta of -0.3 percent. The AMD Ryzen 5 9600X scores 29713, a delta of 0.6 percent. Any of these CPUs would produce nearly identical frame rates in Lockdown Protocol when paired with the same GPU, as the CPU is not the bottleneck in this combination.

The GPU's nearest rivals are similarly close. The AMD FirePro W5000 scores 9803, the NVIDIA Quadro M2000M scores 9832, the NVIDIA Tesla M10 scores 9724, and the NVIDIA Tesla C2070 scores 9716. The GTX 1070's average score is 9780. These deltas range from -0.5 percent to 0.7 percent, meaning any of these GPUs would deliver nearly the same measured FPS values at each resolution and preset. The practical difference between the GTX 1070 and the Quadro M2000M is negligible in this game.

For a user looking at similar behavior, swapping in any of these CPUs or GPUs would result in frame rates within the same single-digit percentage band. The combo's rank of 3068 would not shift materially with any of these substitutions. The limiting factor remains the GPU's overall throughput, which is consistent across this group.

Best Settings per Resolution

At 3840x2160, the only preset that maintains an average at or above 60 FPS is Low, with a measured average of 62 FPS. Medium averages 44 FPS, High averages 38 FPS, and Ultra averages 29 FPS. The database's verdict confirms Low as the best playable setting for this resolution.

At 2560x1440, Low and Medium both clear the threshold. Low averages 96 FPS, and Medium averages 68 FPS. High falls short at 59 FPS. The best setting is Medium, as it provides the highest visual quality while maintaining an average of 68 FPS. The recorded minimum of 58 FPS on Medium means there will be occasional dips below 60, but the average stays above.

At 1920x1080, all four presets clear the threshold. Low averages 131 FPS, Medium averages 93 FPS, High averages 81 FPS, and Ultra averages 61 FPS. The best setting is Ultra, with an average of 61 FPS. This is the only resolution where the combo can run the maximum preset while staying playable.

The pattern shows that the best setting scales inversely with resolution. At 4K, Low is the ceiling. At 1440p, Medium is the ceiling. At 1080p, Ultra is the ceiling. The averages at the best settings are 62, 68, and 61 FPS respectively, which are all close to the threshold, indicating the combo has little headroom at its optimal settings.

The Verdict

The data indicates that this combo can run Lockdown Protocol, but the playable range is narrow. At 3840x2160, only Low settings clear 60 FPS, with an average of 62 FPS. Medium, High, and Ultra all fall below the threshold, with averages of 44, 38, and 29 FPS. This resolution is only viable on the lowest preset.

At 2560x1440, Low and Medium are playable. Low averages 96 FPS, and Medium averages 68 FPS. High averages 59 FPS, just missing the mark, and Ultra averages 45 FPS. The best playable setting is Medium, which offers a reasonable balance of quality and performance.

At 1920x1080, the combo fully clears the threshold across all presets. Low averages 131 FPS, Medium averages 93 FPS, High averages 81 FPS, and Ultra averages 61 FPS. This is the only resolution where the full range of settings is playable. The verdict from the database lists all four presets as playable at 1080p, with Ultra as the best.

The overall picture is that this hardware is suited for 1080p gaming at any preset, 1440p gaming at Low or Medium, and 4K gaming only at Low. The frame rates at the best settings for each resolution are all near 60 to 70 FPS, so there is little margin for fluctuations. For a smoother experience, dropping to a lower preset at any resolution provides a significant FPS boost.

CPU and GPU Roles

The division of labor between the Ryzen 7 5800XT and the GTX 1070 is clear from the scaling data. At 1080p, the CPU has enough headroom to feed the GPU at all presets, as shown by the 131 FPS average on Low. The GPU is the limiting factor even here, since the CPU's single-thread score of 3359 in Cinebench R23 and multi-thread score of 23794 are far above what this game requires at these frame rates.

At 1440p, the GPU's workload increases, and the frame rates drop accordingly. The difference between Low and Medium is 28 FPS (96 to 68), while the difference between Medium and High is 9 FPS (68 to 59). The GPU's fill rate and shading power, measured at 107.7 GPixel/s and 6.463 TFLOPS, are being taxed more heavily. The CPU's role remains secondary, as its Passmark physics score of 1355 and data encryption score of 21461 indicate it can handle the game's logic without issue.

At 4K, the GPU becomes the dominant constraint. The average FPS drops to 62 on Low and 29 on Ultra. The GPU's memory bandwidth of 256.3 GB/s and 8 GB of GDDR5 are stretched at this resolution. The CPU's performance is essentially irrelevant here, since the GPU cannot produce enough frames to stress the CPU. The recorded data shows a 33 FPS difference between Low and Ultra at 4K, compared to a 70 FPS difference at 1080p, indicating that the GPU's limits are reached much sooner at higher resolutions.

The benchmark results indicate that for Lockdown Protocol, users should focus on the GPU when targeting higher resolutions. The CPU is sufficient for this game at all tested settings, and its nearest rivals would perform identically. The GTX 1070, however, defines the ceiling at each resolution. At 1080p, it allows full preset flexibility. At 1440p, it limits the user to Medium. At 4K, it only permits Low. The CPU and GPU roles are therefore asymmetric: the CPU clears the way, but the GPU sets the pace.
