Lockdown Protocol

The AMD Ryzen 7 5800XT paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 clears Lockdown Protocol comfortably at every tested resolution, including Ultra settings at 4K. This is one of the rare combinations in the database that faces no meaningful preset restriction at all: every settings tier at every resolution stays well above the 60 FPS playable threshold, with even the worst result — 73 FPS average at 4K Ultra — leaving a double-digit margin. The data below breaks down where the headroom sits, which component does the heavy lifting, and how this pairing ranks against other tested hardware.

Best Settings per Resolution

The rule here is simple: the most demanding preset that holds at or above 60 FPS average. For this combo, that answer is Ultra across the board.

• 1920x1080 — Ultra, 155 FPS average. The margin is enormous. Low settings push 278 FPS, Medium averages 236 (with a range of 201 to 272), and High lands at 206. Even the ceiling-tier preset delivers more than double the playable threshold. If refresh-rate headroom matters more than visual fidelity, Low settings at 1080p approach frame rates suited to high-refresh displays.
• 2560x1440 — Ultra, 113 FPS average. The step down from 1080p Ultra costs 42 FPS, but the result still sits nearly twice the threshold. Medium at 1440p is particularly strong at 173 FPS average, with measured minimums of 147 and maximums of 199 — meaning even the slowest recorded frames stayed far above 60.
• 3840x2160 — Ultra, 73 FPS average. This is the tightest result in the dataset, yet it still clears 60 FPS. Medium offers a far safer cushion at 112 FPS average (95 minimum, 129 maximum), High runs at 98, and Low reaches 157.

The practical takeaway: 4K players wanting guaranteed smoothness can drop to Medium and gain roughly 53 percent more average frame rate, but Ultra is technically playable at every resolution tested.

Similar Performance Alternatives

Looking at CPU rivals first, the Ryzen 7 5800XT's nearest competitors are effectively interchangeable. The AMD Ryzen 7 7840H matches it with a deltaPct of 0 at an average score of 29,868 versus the 5800XT's 29,879. The Ryzen 7 8845HS and Ryzen 7 7840HS sit at 29,955, just 0.3 percent ahead, and the Ryzen 5 9600X trails by 0.6 percent at 29,713. Anyone running one of these processors alongside a comparable GPU should expect near-identical behavior in Lockdown Protocol, since these deltas are well within run-to-run variance.

On the GPU side, the RTX 4080 sits in a cluster led closely by its own sibling. The RTX 4080 SUPER scores 54,209 — within 0.1 percent of the 4080's 54,247 average — making it the most direct substitute. The AMD Radeon Pro W5700X is next at 54,828, 1.1 percent ahead, followed by the Radeon RX 6750 GRE 12 GB at 55,698 (2.6 percent ahead) and the Radeon 8060S at 55,757 (2.7 percent ahead). All four are marginally faster on aggregate benchmark scores, but the gaps are small enough that Lockdown Protocol results would likely land within a few frames of the numbers recorded here. A build combining any of the listed CPUs with any of the listed GPUs would behave substantially like this one.

FAQ

Q: Can the RTX 4080 run Lockdown Protocol at 4K Ultra?

A: Yes. The combo averages 73 FPS at 3840x2160 Ultra, above the 60 FPS playable threshold. Medium settings at 4K raise the average to 112 FPS for extra headroom.

Q: What is the highest FPS recorded for this pairing?

A: 278 FPS average, at 1920x1080 on Low settings.

Q: How much does dropping from Ultra to Medium help at 1440p?

A: Average frame rate rises from 113 to 173 FPS — a gain of 60 FPS. The Medium run also showed a minimum of 147 and a maximum of 199.

Q: Is the Ryzen 7 5800XT a bottleneck for this game?

A: The data does not indicate one. Frame rates scale steeply with resolution and preset, which points to GPU-bound behavior. The CPU itself ranks in the 81st percentile of all CPUs in the database.

Q: How does this combo rank against other tested pairings?

A: It ranks 291 out of 3,714 tested combinations in Lockdown Protocol — roughly the top 8 percent.

Q: Are any settings unplayable at any resolution?

A: No. Every preset at every resolution — Low through Ultra at 1080p, 1440p, and 4K — averages above 60 FPS.

The Verdict

Yes, decisively. The verdict data confirms that at 1920x1080, 2560x1440, and 3840x2160, all four presets — Low, Medium, High, and Ultra — are playable, and Ultra is the best setting at each resolution. The frame rate at best settings scales from 155 FPS at 1080p to 113 FPS at 1440p to 73 FPS at 4K. Even the most demanding configuration holds a 13-FPS cushion over the threshold. For a 2024 FPS title like Lockdown Protocol, this pairing is overqualified: the only real decision is whether to chase maximum image quality at 4K Ultra or trade fidelity for the very high frame rates available at lower resolutions and presets. Competitive players will favor 1080p, where Low settings deliver 278 FPS; players prioritizing visuals can enable everything at 4K and still stay smooth.

CPU and GPU Roles

The GPU is the component that matters here, and the scaling data makes that unambiguous. Moving from 1080p Ultra to 4K Ultra drops the average from 155 to 73 FPS — a loss of 82 FPS purely from increasing render load, at identical settings. That kind of steep, resolution-driven falloff is the signature of a GPU-bound game. If the Ryzen 7 5800XT were the limiting factor, raising resolution would have produced much flatter scaling, since the CPU's workload barely changes with pixel count.

Preset scaling tells the same story. At 4K, going from Ultra to Low raises the average from 73 to 157 FPS — more than doubling output by reducing GPU workload alone. At 1080p the same change moves frame rates from 155 to 278. In both cases the settings knob translates almost directly into frame rate, which again indicates the RTX 4080 is the gatekeeper.

None of this means the CPU is weak. The 5800XT posts a Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 23,794, a single-core score of 3,359, and a 3DMark single-thread score of 959, placing it in the 81st percentile of all CPUs. It simply has more throughput than Lockdown Protocol asks for. The RTX 4080, in the 86th percentile of all GPUs with an average benchmark score of 54,247, is the component being exercised — and it still finishes every scenario above the threshold.

How This Combo Ranks

Out of 3,714 tested combinations in Lockdown Protocol, this pairing ranks 291st. That placement near the top of the field aligns with the component percentiles: an 81st-percentile CPU joined to an 86th-percentile GPU, both measured rather than estimated. The rank also contextualizes the alternatives section — the near-tied rivals listed there would slot into similar positions, since their aggregate scores differ by less than 3 percent in every case. Within this game specifically, only a small fraction of tested combos can claim what this one does: Ultra settings playable at every resolution from 1080p to 4K, with 1440p Ultra nearly doubling the 60 FPS requirement. The data marks this as a high-performing, well-balanced pairing for Lockdown Protocol, constrained by nothing in the game's preset or resolution range.
