Lockdown Protocol

The AMD Ryzen 7 5800XT paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti SUPER delivers a commanding performance profile in Lockdown Protocol, a 2024-released FPS. Benchmark data shows this combination easily clears the 60 FPS playability threshold across every resolution and preset tested, with headroom that suggests the game is rarely the limiting factor. The measured results reveal a clear pattern: this system is built for high-refresh-rate displays at 1080p and 1440p, while still providing a smooth 4K experience even at maximum settings.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the combo produces exceptional frame rates that push well beyond standard 60 FPS displays. With Low settings, the average FPS reaches 278, a figure that indicates the CPU and GPU are barely taxed. Moving to Medium settings, the average drops to 218 FPS, with a minimum of 186 and a maximum of 251, showing that even the most demanding moments in a match stay far above refresh-rate thresholds. High settings yield an average of 191 FPS, while Ultra settings still deliver 143 FPS on average. The scaling from Low to Ultra at 1080p is a 135 FPS drop, which highlights how much the increased visual fidelity costs in raw throughput, but the absolute numbers remain so high that any of these presets are viable for competitive play.

Stepping up to 2560x1440, the performance remains robust but begins to show the GPU working harder. Low settings produce an average of 225 FPS, while Medium settings average 160 FPS with a minimum of 136 and a maximum of 184. High settings drop to 140 FPS, and Ultra settings settle at 105 FPS. The difference between 1080p and 1440p at the same preset is notable: for instance, High settings lose 51 FPS when moving from 1080p to 1440p, and Ultra loses 38 FPS. This indicates that the resolution increase places a significant load on the graphics pipeline, yet the RTX 4070 Ti SUPER still maintains frame rates that exceed the needs of most 1440p monitors, which typically cap at 144 or 165 Hz.

At 3840x2160, the system demonstrates that it can handle 4K gaming without compromise, though the margins tighten. Low settings average 145 FPS, which is impressive for a 4K resolution. Medium settings average 103 FPS with a minimum of 88 and a maximum of 119, meaning the lowest recorded frame still exceeds the playability threshold by a substantial margin. High settings average 90 FPS, and Ultra settings average 68 FPS. The jump from 1440p to 4K is substantial: Ultra settings lose 37 FPS, and High loses 50 FPS. Even at 4K Ultra, the average of 68 FPS sits comfortably above the 60 FPS playability mark, though the headroom is much thinner than at lower resolutions.

The measured data includes min and max FPS only for Medium settings at each resolution. At 1920x1080 Medium, the spread from 186 to 251 FPS represents a 65 FPS range, which is relatively tight for a fast-paced FPS. At 2560x1440 Medium, the range is 136 to 184 FPS, a 48 FPS spread. At 3840x2160 Medium, the range is 88 to 119 FPS, a 31 FPS spread. This narrowing spread as resolution increases suggests that the GPU becomes more consistently bottlenecked, reducing frame-time variance even as average FPS drops.

CPU and GPU Roles

The benchmark data reveals a clear division of labor between the AMD Ryzen 7 5800XT and the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti SUPER in Lockdown Protocol. At 1920x1080, the average FPS reaches 278 on Low settings, which is an extraordinary figure that suggests neither component is working near its limit. The fact that Ultra settings still produce 143 FPS at 1080p indicates that the CPU has ample headroom to feed the GPU even at lower resolutions where draw calls and game logic typically become more prominent. The Ryzen 7 5800XT, with its 8 cores and 16 threads based on Zen 3 architecture, appears to handle the game's single-threaded and multi-threaded demands with ease, as evidenced by its 3dmark single-thread score of 959 and cinebench R23 multicore score of 23794.

As resolution increases, the GPU's role becomes more dominant. The transition from 1080p to 1440p at the same preset shows a consistent FPS drop across all settings, which is the classic signature of a GPU-bound scenario. For example, High settings drop from 191 to 140 FPS, a 26.7% reduction that correlates with the increased pixel count. The transition from 1440p to 4K produces even larger drops: High settings fall from 140 to 90 FPS, a 35.7% reduction. This progressive scaling strongly indicates that the RTX 4070 Ti SUPER is the limiting factor at higher resolutions, while the CPU maintains its ability to keep up with the game's processing demands.

The CPU's capability is further underscored by the fact that at 1080p Low, the system achieves 278 FPS. If the Ryzen 7 5800XT were a bottleneck, this figure would likely plateau at a lower value regardless of GPU strength. Instead, the FPS scales consistently with resolution, which is the expected behavior when the GPU is the primary constraint. The CPU's 3dmark max-thread score of 7680 and passmark multithread score of 28053 indicate strong parallel performance, while its 3dmark single-thread score of 959 shows it can handle the single-threaded tasks that are common in FPS titles. The data implies that for Lockdown Protocol, the GPU is the component to upgrade first if higher resolutions are the goal, while the CPU provides a stable foundation that rarely becomes the bottleneck.

How This Combo Ranks

The comboRankInGame places this AMD Ryzen 7 5800XT + NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti SUPER configuration at rank 489 out of 3714 tested combinations. This percentile position—roughly the top 13% of all systems—indicates that this hardware pairing is well above average for Lockdown Protocol. The rank suggests that while there are 488 other combinations that perform better, the vast majority of systems tested (3,225 combos) fall behind this one. Given the GPU's percentileVsAllGpus of 76 and the CPU's percentileVsAllCpus of 81, the combined ranking is consistent with what one would expect from a high-end upper-midrange pairing.

The fact that the combo rank is 489 rather than lower (e.g., in the top 100) reflects the presence of more powerful CPUs and GPUs in the test database. The RTX 4070 Ti SUPER, despite being a strong GPU, sits at the 76th percentile among all GPUs, meaning 24% of tested GPUs score higher in synthetic benchmarks. Similarly, the Ryzen 7 5800XT at the 81st CPU percentile is strong but not top-tier. The rank of 489 out of 3714 is therefore a realistic outcome for a system that excels in most gaming scenarios but is not the absolute fastest available. For Lockdown Protocol specifically, the measured FPS data shows that this rank translates to excellent real-world performance, as every resolution and preset tested clears the 60 FPS threshold with room to spare.

Similar Performance Alternatives

Examining the nearest rivals for the CPU and GPU provides context for what other hardware would deliver comparable performance in Lockdown Protocol. For the AMD Ryzen 7 5800XT, the closest matches in synthetic benchmarks are the AMD Ryzen 7 7840H, AMD Ryzen 7 8845HS, AMD Ryzen 7 7840HS, and AMD Ryzen 5 9600X. The Ryzen 7 7840H has an average score of 29868, which is a 0% delta from the 5800XT's average of 29879. The Ryzen 7 8845HS and Ryzen 7 7840HS both score 29955, representing a -0.3% delta, meaning they are marginally faster. The Ryzen 5 9600X scores 29713, a 0.6% delta, indicating it is slightly slower. In practical terms, a system using any of these CPUs alongside the RTX 4070 Ti SUPER would produce nearly identical FPS in Lockdown Protocol, with differences of less than 1% in CPU-bound scenarios.

For the GPU, the nearest rivals are the NVIDIA Quadro M5000, NVIDIA GRID M60-1Q, NVIDIA RTX PRO 4500 Blackwell, and NVIDIA TITAN RTX. The Quadro M5000 has an average score of 31206, a -0.4% delta from the RTX 4070 Ti SUPER's 31087, making it essentially equivalent. The GRID M60-1Q scores 31220, also a -0.4% delta. The RTX PRO 4500 Blackwell scores 31532, a -1.4% delta, meaning it is slightly faster, while the TITAN RTX scores 31676, a -1.9% delta, also faster by a small margin. None of these rival GPUs would produce a meaningfully different FPS in Lockdown Protocol, as the deltas are all under 2%. A gamer with a TITAN RTX might see a few extra FPS at 4K Ultra, but the difference would be negligible relative to the 68 FPS already achieved.

The practical implication is that swapping the Ryzen 7 5800XT for a Ryzen 7 8845HS or the RTX 4070 Ti SUPER for a TITAN RTX would not change the fundamental performance class of the system for this game. The measured FPS would remain in the same range, with the same verdicts at each resolution. This suggests that the system's performance in Lockdown Protocol is robust across a small family of comparable hardware, and users with these alternatives can expect similar results.

The Verdict

The data is unambiguous: this PC can run Lockdown Protocol at 60 FPS or higher at every resolution and preset tested. At 1920x1080, the lowest average FPS across all presets is 143 (Ultra), which is 2.4 times the playability threshold. At 2560x1440, the lowest average is 105 FPS (Ultra), still 1.75 times the threshold. At 3840x2160, the lowest average is 68 FPS (Ultra), which clears 60 FPS by 8 FPS. The verdictByResolution data confirms that all four presets—Low, Medium, High, and Ultra—are playable at all three resolutions. This means a user can choose any settings combination without worrying about dropping below 60 FPS, though the margin at 4K Ultra is slim enough that highly demanding scenes might approach the threshold.

For gamers with 1080p or 1440p monitors, this system offers exceptional performance that exceeds the refresh rate of most displays. A 144 Hz 1440p monitor can be fully utilized with High settings (140 FPS) or even Ultra (105 FPS), though Medium (160 FPS) is the only preset that surpasses 144 FPS at 1440p. At 1080p, any preset exceeds 143 FPS, making this an ideal setup for 165 Hz or 240 Hz monitors. For 4K users, the system handles High settings (90 FPS) and Medium (103 FPS) comfortably, while Ultra (68 FPS) remains playable but leaves less headroom for frame-time spikes.

Best Settings per Resolution

At 1920x1080, the most demanding preset that stays at or above 60 FPS is Ultra, which achieves an average of 143 FPS. Since the playable threshold is 60 FPS and all presets exceed it at this resolution, Ultra is the recommended choice for maximum visual quality without sacrificing smoothness. The 143 FPS average provides a 83 FPS margin over the threshold, ensuring that even demanding combat sequences with multiple enemies and effects will likely stay above 60 FPS.

At 2560x1440, the best settings are also Ultra, with an average FPS of 105. This preset delivers the highest visual fidelity while maintaining a 45 FPS margin above the playability threshold. The data shows that Ultra at 1440p is 35 FPS slower than High (140 FPS), but the trade-off is worth it for users who prioritize image quality, as 105 FPS is still well above 60 FPS and also exceeds the 100 FPS mark that many gamers consider a sweet spot for smoothness.

At 3840x2160, the best settings remain Ultra, with an average FPS of 68. This is the only resolution where the margin above the threshold is relatively narrow, at 8 FPS. While 68 FPS is playable and meets the 60 FPS threshold, users who want more headroom might prefer High settings, which average 90 FPS. However, the verdictByResolution data explicitly lists Ultra as the best playable setting at 4K, meaning the system can handle the maximum visual preset while staying above 60 FPS. For those who plan to play 4K Ultra regularly, the risk of occasional dips below 60 FPS exists, but the average of 68 FPS suggests that such drops would be rare.
