Lockdown Protocol

The AMD Ryzen 7 7700 and AMD Radeon RX 6700 XT combination delivers a highly capable 1080p and 1440p gaming experience in Lockdown Protocol, with the data showing that 60 FPS is achievable at the highest preset in both resolutions. At 4K, the pairing remains viable but requires a reduction in graphical fidelity to maintain smooth gameplay, as the Ultra preset falls short of the playability threshold.

Similar Performance Alternatives

Benchmark results place the AMD Ryzen 7 7700 in the 87th percentile of all tested CPUs, with an average benchmark score of 40,081. The nearest rivals in terms of aggregate performance are tightly clustered, indicating that users would experience nearly identical CPU-bound behavior from several alternatives. The AMD Ryzen AI 9 365 posts an average score of 40,048, a negligible 0.1% difference from the Ryzen 7 7700. The Intel Core 5 221E scores 40,144, placing it 0.2% higher, while the AMD Ryzen 9 270 trails by a minuscule 0.4% with a score of 40,246. The Intel Core i9-13905H rounds out the group at 40,313, which is 0.6% above the Ryzen 7 7700. For Lockdown Protocol, these four processors would deliver statistically indistinguishable frame rates, meaning any of them would behave similarly in terms of CPU-bound performance.

For the GPU side, the AMD Radeon RX 6700 XT sits in the 72nd percentile of all graphics cards, with an average benchmark score of 27,425. The nearest performance rivals include the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Mobile at 27,435, which is effectively identical with a 0.0% delta. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3090 delivers a score of 27,565, placing it 0.5% ahead of the RX 6700 XT, while the AMD Radeon Pro Vega 20 is 1.5% ahead with a score of 27,839. The NVIDIA RTX PRO 4000 Blackwell trails by 1.1% at 27,135. In practical terms, these alternatives would produce frame rates within a couple of percentage points of the RX 6700 XT across all resolutions and settings tested in Lockdown Protocol. Users coming from any of these graphics cards should not expect any meaningful difference in their ability to hit 60 FPS at the tested presets.

FAQ

Q: Can the AMD Ryzen 7 7700 + AMD Radeon RX 6700 XT maintain 60 FPS at 1080p?

A: Yes. The data shows the combo achieves a 1920x1080 average of 88.2 FPS at Ultra settings, which is the most demanding preset. Lower settings yield even higher frame rates, with Low reaching 191.9 FPS, Medium at 134.4 FPS, and High at 118.7 FPS.

Q: What is the best playable setting at 1440p for this combination?

A: At 2560x1440, the Ultra preset is the most demanding setting that stays above 60 FPS, producing an average of 64 FPS. All other tested presets also clear the threshold, with High at 84.9 FPS, Medium at 101.6 FPS, and Low at 137.3 FPS.

Q: Is 4K gaming viable with this hardware in Lockdown Protocol?

A: Viable but with limitations. At 3840x2160, the Medium preset delivers an average of 66.3 FPS, and the Low preset runs at 92.6 FPS. However, the High preset drops to 54.3 FPS, and Ultra falls to 40.5 FPS, both below the 60 FPS playability threshold.

Q: How does the RX 6700 XT compare to the RTX 3090 based on benchmark scores?**

A: The RX 6700 XT has an average benchmark score of 27,425, while the RTX 3090 scores 27,530. This places the RTX 3090 approximately 0.5% ahead, which is negligible in real-world gameplay for this title.

Q: What is the average FPS at 1080p with High settings?**

A: The measured data shows an average of 118.7 FPS at 1920x1080 with High settings. This comfortably exceeds the 60 FPS playability threshold.

Q: What is the rank of this CPU/GPU combination among all tested combos in Lockdown Protocol?**

A: The combo ranks 1,983rd out of 3,714 total tested combinations, placing it in the upper half of all configurations tested for this game.

How This Combo Ranks

Out of 3,714 tested hardware combinations for Lockdown Protocol, this pairing of the AMD Ryzen 7 7700 and AMD Radeon RX 6700 XT ranks at position 1,983. This places the configuration in the 53rd percentile of all tested systems, meaning it outperforms slightly more than half of the combinations in the database. The ranking is driven by the strong CPU performance, which sits in the 87th percentile of all processors, and a capable mid-range GPU in the 72nd percentile. The data suggests that while the GPU is not a top-tier part, the combination achieves solid frame rates across most resolutions and settings. The gap between the CPU percentile and GPU percentile indicates that the graphics card is more likely to be the limiting factor for maximum frame rates, particularly at 4K resolution where the GPU has to drive nearly four times the pixels as 1080p. At 1080p, the CPU can push frame rates well above 100 FPS on most presets, but at 4K Ultra the system falls short of 60 FPS, which aligns with the GPU being the performance bottleneck.

The Verdict

Based on the measured data, this system can run Lockdown Protocol with playable frame rates at all three tested resolutions, but with different preset limitations. At 1920x1080, the combination clears the 60 FPS threshold at every preset, including Ultra, which averages 88.2 FPS. At 2560x1440, the system also hits 60 FPS or higher across all presets, with Ultra averaging 64.0 FPS. At 3840x2160, the system fails to maintain 60 FPS at High and Ultra, but the Low preset (92.6 FPS) and Medium preset (66.3 FPS) remain playable. The verdict is clear: for 1080p and 1440p gaming, this PC can run Lockdown Protocol at maximum settings with headroom to spare. For 4K, users must lower settings to Medium or below to stay above 60 FPS.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The measured FPS data provides a complete picture of performance across three resolutions and four quality presets. At 1920x1080, the lowest settings produce 191.9 FPS on average, Medium settings yield 134.4 FPS, High settings deliver 118.7 FPS, and Ultra settings hit 88.2 FPS. At 2560x1440, the same progression yields 137.3 FPS on Low, 101.6 FPS on Medium, 84.9 FPS on High, and 64.0 FPS on Ultra. At 3840x2160, the averages are 92.6 FPS for Low, 66.3 FPS for Medium, 54.3 FPS for High, and 40.5 FPS for Ultra. The data shows a consistent scaling pattern: each step up in resolution reduces frame rates by a roughly proportional amount, and the gap between Low and Ultra settings widens significantly at higher resolutions. The 1080p Low result of 191.9 FPS is the highest average recorded, while the 4K Ultra result of 40.5 FPS is the only value below 50 FPS. All other measurements remain above 50 FPS, suggesting that the system has strong overall capability with the primary weakness being the most demanding 4K preset.

Best Settings per Resolution

At 1920x1080, the most demanding preset that maintains at least 60 FPS is Ultra, which achieves an average of 88.2 FPS. This leaves substantial headroom above the threshold, so users can enjoy the highest visual quality without worrying about frame rate drops. At 2560x1440, the Ultra preset also remains the best playable option, with an average of 64.0 FPS. This is closer to the 60 FPS threshold but still comfortable, indicating that the GPU has enough headroom to handle the resolution at maximum quality. At 3840x2160, the Ultra preset falls to 40.5 FPS, which is not playable. The most demanding preset that stays at or above 60 FPS is Medium, averaging 66.3 FPS. This means that for 4K gaming, users must accept a reduction from Ultra to Medium quality settings to maintain smooth gameplay. The Low preset at 4K still delivers a high 92.6 FPS, but Medium offers more substantial visual upgrades while staying above the threshold.
