Performance Analysis: Lockdown Protocol on Your System
The AMD Ryzen 7 7700 and AMD Radeon RX 7700 combination delivers a strong 1080p and 1440p experience in Lockdown Protocol, but 4K gaming requires a compromise on visual fidelity. Benchmark data shows this system clears the 60 FPS threshold at every resolution, though only at lower presets for 4K. At 1920x1080 and 2560x1440, the hardware is powerful enough to run the game at maximum settings with headroom to spare.
Best Settings per Resolution
At 3840x2160, the highest preset that maintains an average of at least 60 FPS is Medium, which produces an average of 67 FPS. The High preset dips to 59 FPS, just below the playable threshold, while Ultra falls further to 44 FPS. Low runs at 95 FPS but sacrifices too much visual quality when Medium offers a playable frame rate with better detail.
At 2560x1440, the system can handle Ultra settings, achieving an average of 68 FPS. This is the most demanding preset available and it clears the 60 FPS bar comfortably. The data shows no need to drop below Ultra at this resolution, as even the heaviest settings remain fluid.
At 1920x1080, Ultra is again the best choice, delivering an average of 93 FPS. This is the highest preset and it provides substantial margin above the 60 FPS threshold, making it the clear recommendation for competitive play or high-refresh displays. The gap between Ultra and High is notable — 93 FPS versus 124 FPS — but Ultra remains perfectly playable.
CPU and GPU Roles
The scaling data reveals how the workload shifts between the Ryzen 7 7700 and the RX 7700 depending on resolution. At 1920x1080, the CPU has more influence relative to the GPU, as evidenced by the large frame rate spread between Low and Ultra — 200 FPS versus 93 FPS. This wide gap indicates the graphics card becomes the limiting factor even at lower resolutions, while the 8-core, 16-thread processor keeps up with frame generation demands.
Moving to 2560x1440, the GPU load increases, compressing the range between Low and Ultra to 147 FPS versus 68 FPS. The CPU's role diminishes slightly, but the Ryzen 7 7700's strong single-thread performance — reflected in its 3DMark single-thread score of 1049 — ensures it does not bottleneck the Radeon card. The 104 FPS Medium result at this resolution compared to 147 FPS Low shows that the GPU is doing progressively more work as settings rise.
At 3840x2160, the GPU dominates entirely. The spread from Low at 95 FPS to Ultra at 44 FPS demonstrates that the RX 7700's rendering throughput is the primary constraint. The CPU's 3DMark 16-thread score of 8484 and Cinebench R23 multi-core result of 18760 indicate ample processing headroom; the data suggests the processor is never the bottleneck in this title, even at 4K with lower presets.
Measured FPS Breakdown
3840x2160: The Ultra preset averages 44 FPS, which falls well below the 60 FPS playability threshold. High improves to 59 FPS, still shy of the mark. Medium reaches an average of 67 FPS, with a minimum of 57 and maximum of 77 — the minimum dips slightly under 60, but the average clears it. Low runs at 95 FPS, providing the most comfortable 4K experience if visual quality is secondary.
2560x1440: Ultra averages 68 FPS, a solid result for maximum settings. High delivers 91 FPS, Medium 104 FPS with a minimum of 88 and maximum of 120, and Low reaches 147 FPS. Every preset at this resolution stays above 60 FPS on average, making 1440p the sweet spot for this hardware — even the most demanding setting remains fluid.
1920x1080: Ultra averages 93 FPS. High jumps to 124 FPS. Medium achieves 142 FPS with a minimum of 121 and maximum of 163, showing excellent consistency. Low tops out at 200 FPS, which is ideal for high-refresh monitors. All presets provide well over 60 FPS, with even the minimum recorded frame rate at Medium (121 FPS) far exceeding the playability threshold.
The Verdict
This PC can run Lockdown Protocol, and it does so with room to spare at the two most common gaming resolutions. The verdict by resolution is clear: at 3840x2160, only Low and Medium are playable, with Medium being the best option at 67 FPS average. At 2560x1440, all four presets — High, Low, Medium, and Ultra — are playable, with Ultra at 68 FPS being the recommended choice. At 1920x1080, every preset is playable, and Ultra at 93 FPS is the best setting.
The system ranks 1709 out of 3714 combinations in this game, placing it in the upper half of tested hardware configurations. The data confirms that 1440p Ultra is the ideal target for this pairing, balancing visual fidelity and frame rate. For 4K, players should stick to Medium to maintain playability, as the jump to High drops the average below 60 FPS. At 1080p, the hardware is overqualified — even Ultra settings leave significant performance headroom.
Similar Performance Alternatives
Looking at the nearest rivals for the CPU, the AMD Ryzen 7 7700's average benchmark score of 40081 is nearly matched by several alternatives. The AMD Ryzen AI 9 365 scores 40048, just 0.1% lower, making it a virtually identical performer for this game's CPU demands. The Intel Core 5 221E scores 40144, 0.2% higher, while the AMD Ryzen 9 270 scores 40246, 0.4% higher. The Intel Core i9-13905H scores 40313, 0.6% higher. Any of these processors would deliver comparable frame rates in Lockdown Protocol, as the Ryzen 7 7700's 87th percentile ranking among all CPUs suggests the game is not particularly sensitive to minor CPU differences.
For the GPU, the AMD Radeon RX 7700's average score of 15852 places it near several close competitors. The AMD Radeon R9 370X scores 15862, essentially identical at -0.1% difference. The AMD Radeon Pro W5500 scores 15679, 1.1% lower, while the AMD Radeon RX 9060 scores 16014, 1% higher. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 Ti scores 16129, 1.7% higher. These GPUs would produce similar frame rates in this game, with the RTX 3060 Ti offering a marginal performance edge. The RX 7700 sits at the 58th percentile among all GPUs, indicating it is a mid-range part that handles Lockdown Protocol well at mainstream resolutions.
