How This Combo Ranks

The combination of the AMD Ryzen 7 5800XT and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER achieves a combo rank of 299 out of 3714 tested combos in Lockdown Protocol, placing it in the 92nd percentile of all systems tested. This top-tier positioning reflects the synergy between a strong 8-core, 16-thread Zen 3 processor and an Ada Lovelace flagship GPU that sits in the 86th percentile against all GPUs.

The CPU contributes a significant foundation, with its average benchmark score of 29879 placing it in the 81st percentile of all CPUs. Its nearest rivals include the AMD Ryzen 7 7840H with an average score of 29868 (0% delta), the AMD Ryzen 7 8845HS and Ryzen 7 7840HS both scoring 29955 (-0.3% delta), and the AMD Ryzen 5 9600X scoring 29713 (+0.6% delta). This clustering shows the 5800XT performing essentially on par with newer mobile and desktop parts, with the largest gap being just 0.6% behind the Ryzen 5 9600X.

On the GPU side, the RTX 4080 SUPER's average benchmark score of 54209 places it just behind its immediate predecessor, the RTX 4080, which scores 54247 (-0.1% delta). The delta between the 4080 SUPER and the AMD Radeon Pro W5700X is -1.1% (54828 score), while the Radeon RX 6750 GRE 12 GB sits at 55698 (-2.7% delta) and the Radeon 8060S at 55757 (-2.8% delta). This places the 4080 SUPER at the lower end of a tightly packed group of high-performance GPUs, though its 16 GB of GDDR6X memory and 52.22 TFLOPS FP32 compute provide substantial raw capability.

CPU and GPU Roles

The data reveals a clear shift in component responsibility as resolution increases. At 1920x1080, the system produces extremely high frame rates across all settings, with the Low preset hitting 278 FPS average and Ultra still delivering 154 FPS. These numbers suggest that at 1080p, the CPU's 8 cores and 16 threads are adequately feeding the GPU, allowing it to stretch toward its full potential. The scaling from Low to Ultra at 1080p shows a 44.6% performance drop (278 to 154 FPS), indicating that the GPU is the primary constraint as graphical load increases.

At 2560x1440, the pattern continues with the RTX 4080 SUPER taking on more responsibility. The Low preset produces 243 FPS average, while Ultra drops to 113 FPS — a 53.5% reduction. The Medium preset shows a minimum of 147 FPS and maximum of 198 FPS, demonstrating consistent frame delivery under moderate load. The GPU's 736.3 GB/s memory bandwidth and 816.0 GTexel/s texture rate become increasingly important as pixel count rises.

The 3840x2160 results most clearly demonstrate GPU dominance. The Low preset still achieves 157 FPS average, but the Ultra preset drops to 73 FPS — a 53.5% reduction from Low. The Medium preset at 4K shows a minimum of 95 FPS and maximum of 128 FPS, highlighting the GPU's ability to maintain playable frame rates even in demanding scenes. The RTX 4080 SUPER's 16 GB GDDR6X memory proves sufficient at 4K, as no test shows memory-related stuttering or crashes. The CPU's role diminishes at 4K, with the 5800XT's 3DMark single-thread score of 959 and multi-thread score of 7680 providing adequate headroom for game logic and physics processing.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The complete FPS measurements show a system with remarkable consistency across resolutions. At 1920x1080, the Low preset delivers an average of 278 FPS, Medium achieves 235 FPS with a minimum of 200 and maximum of 270 FPS, High produces 205 FPS average, and Ultra maintains 154 FPS. These numbers indicate that the 1080p experience is overwhelmingly smooth, with even the most demanding preset providing nearly triple the 60 FPS threshold.

Moving to 2560x1440, the system remains exceptionally fast. Low preset averages 243 FPS, Medium runs at 172 FPS with a 147 FPS minimum and 198 FPS maximum, High delivers 151 FPS, and Ultra holds 113 FPS. The gap between Low and Ultra at 1440p is 130 FPS, showing that while settings significantly impact performance, every configuration offers far more than adequate frame rates.

At 3840x2160, the RTX 4080 SUPER's capabilities become more evident. The Low preset achieves 157 FPS average, which is still well above the 60 FPS threshold. Medium produces 111 FPS average with a minimum of 95 and maximum of 128 FPS, ensuring no noticeable dips during intense gameplay. High settings deliver 97 FPS average, while Ultra drops to 73 FPS — still comfortably playable but the first preset to approach the threshold. This 4K data demonstrates that the system can handle the game at maximum quality without compromise.
