Lockdown Protocol

Measured FPS Breakdown

The recorded data for Lockdown Protocol with the AMD Ryzen 7 5800XT and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070 SUPER combination spans three resolutions and four quality presets. At 1920x1080, the Low preset delivers the highest average frame rate in the entire dataset at 175 FPS. The Medium preset averages 125 FPS, with a recorded minimum of 106 FPS and a maximum of 143 FPS. High settings produce an average of 109 FPS, while Ultra drops to 82 FPS. These figures show a clear progression: each step up in visual quality reduces the average by roughly 20 to 40 FPS.

At 2560x1440, the same hardware combination shows a predictable performance decline. Low settings average 129 FPS, Medium averages 91 FPS with a minimum of 78 and a maximum of 105, and High averages 80 FPS. Ultra at this resolution lands exactly at 60 FPS on average, which is the playable threshold used in the database. The drop from 1080p to 1440p costs roughly 25% of the average frame rate at each preset, indicating that resolution scaling is consistent across all settings.

At 3840x2160, the picture changes substantially. Low settings still manage an average of 83 FPS, which is comfortably above the 60 FPS threshold. Medium averages 59 FPS, with a minimum of 50 FPS and a maximum of 68 FPS. High averages 51 FPS, and Ultra falls to 39 FPS. The 4K data reveals that only the Low preset maintains a consistent playable experience, while Medium sits just below the threshold on average despite occasionally reaching 68 FPS in lighter scenes.

The minimum and maximum frame rate data is only recorded for the Medium preset at each resolution. At 1080p, the spread from minimum to maximum is 37 FPS. At 1440p, the spread narrows to 27 FPS. At 4K, the spread is 18 FPS. This tightening range at higher resolutions suggests that frame time consistency improves as the GPU becomes the primary bottleneck, though the average performance drops significantly.

How This Combo Ranks

The database places this CPU and GPU combination at rank 2165 out of 3714 tested combos for Lockdown Protocol. That places it in the upper portion of the field, roughly in the 42nd percentile of all tested systems. The ranking reflects the combination's ability to clear the 60 FPS threshold at 1080p and 1440p across all presets, while only managing that at Low for 4K.

The RTX 2070 SUPER sits at the 65th percentile among all GPUs in the database, while the Ryzen 7 5800XT sits at the 81st percentile among all CPUs. This disparity suggests the graphics card is the limiting factor for this pairing in most scenarios. The CPU has more headroom relative to its peers than the GPU does, which becomes evident when looking at how the frame rates scale with resolution changes.

The combination's rank of 2165 out of 3714 means that roughly 41.7% of tested combos perform worse, and 58.3% perform better. For a game like Lockdown Protocol, which is an FPS title, this positioning is respectable but not elite. The measured data shows the pairing handles 1080p and 1440p with authority, which is the practical target for most players using this class of hardware.

CPU and GPU Roles

The scaling between resolutions reveals which component carries more weight for Lockdown Protocol. Moving from 1920x1080 to 2560x1440 at Low settings drops the average from 175 FPS to 129 FPS, a reduction of 46 FPS. Moving from 1440p to 4K at Low drops the average from 129 FPS to 83 FPS, a further reduction of 46 FPS. This consistent 46 FPS decline per resolution step at Low settings points to a GPU-bound scenario, since the CPU workload does not change meaningfully with resolution.

At Ultra settings, the scaling is different. Moving from 1080p to 1440p drops the average from 82 FPS to 60 FPS, a 22 FPS reduction. Moving from 1440p to 4K drops the average from 60 FPS to 39 FPS, a 21 FPS reduction. The smaller absolute drops at Ultra settings indicate that the GPU is already under heavy load even at 1080p, so increasing resolution has a comparatively smaller impact on the frame rate.

The CPU's role becomes more apparent at lower resolutions and lower presets. At 1080p Low, the average of 175 FPS suggests the Ryzen 7 5800XT can feed the RTX 2070 SUPER sufficiently to reach very high frame rates. The 8-core, 16-thread configuration with a boost clock of 4.80 GHz provides ample single-thread performance for an FPS title. The CPU's 3DMark single-thread score of 959 and Cinebench R23 single-core score of 3359 support this interpretation.

At 4K, the GPU dominates the performance picture entirely. The difference between Low and Ultra at 4K is 44 FPS (83 versus 39), which is the largest preset-to-preset gap in the dataset. This indicates that at 4K, the RTX 2070 SUPER's 8 GB of GDDR6 memory and 448.0 GB/s bandwidth are the deciding factors, and the CPU has little influence on the outcome.

Similar Performance Alternatives

The database provides nearest rivals for both components based on average benchmark scores. For the Ryzen 7 5800XT, the closest matches are the AMD Ryzen 7 7840H with an average score of 29868 and a delta of 0%, the AMD Ryzen 7 8845HS and AMD Ryzen 7 7840HS both scoring 29955 with a delta of -0.3%, and the AMD Ryzen 5 9600X scoring 29713 with a delta of 0.6%. These processors are within 0.6% of the 5800XT's average score of 29879, meaning any of them would produce nearly identical frame rates in Lockdown Protocol when paired with the same GPU.

For the RTX 2070 SUPER, the nearest rivals are the NVIDIA Quadro M4000M with an average score of 20480 and a delta of -1%, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Mobile with an average score of 20534 and a delta of -1.2%, the Intel Arc B570 with an average score of 20556 and a delta of -1.3%, and the Intel Arc A750 with an average score of 20582 and a delta of -1.5%. The RTX 2070 SUPER's average benchmark score is 20282, placing it slightly below all four rivals on paper. However, the deltas are small, ranging from 1% to 1.5%, so in practical terms these alternatives would deliver very similar performance in Lockdown Protocol.

A system using any of these rival CPUs with the RTX 2070 SUPER would behave nearly identically to the tested configuration. Similarly, a system using the Ryzen 7 5800XT with any of the rival GPUs would produce frame rates within a few percent of the measured values. The Intel Arc A750 and Arc B570 are particularly interesting alternatives, as they sit within 1.5% of the RTX 2070 SUPER's average score, suggesting comparable rasterization performance for this title.

Best Settings per Resolution

At 1920x1080, the Ultra preset maintains an average of 82 FPS, which clears the 60 FPS threshold by a healthy margin. This is the most demanding preset that stays playable, and the data shows there is headroom above the threshold. The Medium preset reaches 125 FPS average, and Low reaches 175 FPS, but Ultra at 82 FPS is the recommended choice for maximum visual quality while remaining well above the playable threshold.

At 2560x1440, the Ultra preset averages exactly 60 FPS, which meets the playable threshold precisely. This is the most demanding preset that stays at or above 60 FPS. The High preset averages 80 FPS, Medium averages 91 FPS, and Low averages 129 FPS, all of which are also playable, but Ultra at 60 FPS offers the best visual quality within the constraint. Players who prefer a safety margin above the threshold might choose High at 80 FPS instead.

At 3840x2160, only the Low preset clears the 60 FPS threshold, averaging 83 FPS. Medium averages 59 FPS, just below the threshold, and High and Ultra fall further behind at 51 FPS and 39 FPS respectively. For 4K play, Low is the only viable preset according to the recorded data. The gap between Low at 83 FPS and Medium at 59 FPS is substantial, so there is no middle ground that balances quality and playability at this resolution.

The Verdict

The recorded data answers clearly whether this PC can run Lockdown Protocol. At 1920x1080, all four presets are playable, with Ultra delivering 82 FPS on average. This resolution offers the best experience with no compromises required. At 2560x1440, all four presets also clear the 60 FPS threshold, with Ultra at exactly 60 FPS and High at 80 FPS. The 1440p experience is fully playable across the entire settings range.

At 3840x2160, the situation is more limited. Only the Low preset maintains an average above 60 FPS, hitting 83 FPS. Medium falls to 59 FPS, which is 1 FPS below the playable threshold, and High and Ultra are not viable at 51 FPS and 39 FPS respectively. The verdict by resolution is that this combination can run Lockdown Protocol at 1080p and 1440p on any preset, but at 4K it is limited to Low settings for a consistently playable experience.

The combination ranks 2165 out of 3714 tested combos, which is a mid-tier result. The RTX 2070 SUPER's 65th percentile standing among GPUs and the Ryzen 7 5800XT's 81st percentile standing among CPUs show that the processor has more relative strength than the graphics card. For players targeting 1080p or 1440p, this system delivers a strong experience in Lockdown Protocol. For 4K enthusiasts, the hardware is capable only at the lowest quality preset.
