Performance Analysis: Lockdown Protocol on Your System
Lockdown Protocol is a 2024 first-person shooter, and the pairing of AMD's Ryzen 7 7700 with NVIDIA's GeForce RTX 3070 handles it comfortably across every tested resolution. Benchmark results indicate that this combination clears the 60 FPS threshold at High settings even at 3840x2160, while Ultra remains available at both 2560x1440 and 1920x1080. The following analysis breaks down where this combo ranks, how it scales, and which settings make sense at each resolution.
FAQ
Q: Can the Ryzen 7 7700 + RTX 3070 run Lockdown Protocol at 4K?
A: Yes. At 3840x2160, High settings average 65.4 FPS, Medium averages 72 FPS, and Low averages 99.8 FPS. Only Ultra falls below the 60 FPS threshold, at 44.6 FPS.
Q: What is the best playable preset at each resolution?
A: At 1920x1080 the best settings are Ultra at 100.6 FPS average. At 2560x1440 it is again Ultra, at 75.1 FPS. At 3840x2160 the best playable preset is High, at 65.4 FPS.
Q: How does this PC combination rank among tested configurations for Lockdown Protocol?
A: It ranks 1551 out of 3714 tested combinations, placing it in the upper half of the database for this game.
Q: Is the CPU or GPU the stronger component in this pairing?
A: The CPU. The Ryzen 7 7700 sits in the 87th percentile versus all CPUs, while the RTX 3070 sits in the 61st percentile versus all GPUs. The GPU is the limiting factor at higher resolutions.
Q: What hardware performs similarly to this combo?
A: On the CPU side, the closest rivals are the AMD Ryzen AI 9 365 (+0.1%), Intel Core 5 221E (−0.2%), AMD Ryzen 9 270 (−0.4%), and Intel Core i9-13905H (−0.6%). On the GPU side, the AMD Radeon RX 7600 XT (+0.7%) and NVIDIA GTX 690 (+1%) are the nearest matches.
Q: What is the frame rate range at 1080p?
A: Between 100.6 FPS at Ultra and 215.8 FPS at Low, with Medium at 155.9 FPS and High at 134.3 FPS.
CPU and GPU Roles
The benchmark data points to a GPU-bound configuration at every resolution tested. Moving from 1920x1080 to 3840x2160 at High settings drops the average from 134.3 FPS to 65.4 FPS — a near-halving of throughput as pixel count rises. If the CPU were the constraint, frame rates would stay roughly flat as resolution increases; instead, they fall steeply at every preset. Low settings scale from 215.8 FPS at 1080p to 99.8 FPS at 4K, and Ultra falls from 100.6 FPS to 44.6 FPS.
That said, the Ryzen 7 7700 is more than capable of feeding the game. It is an 8-core, 16-thread Zen 4 processor with a 5.30 GHz boost clock, a single-thread Passmark score of 4063, and a Cinebench R23 single-core score of 1930 — strong results for a title in the FPS genre, where per-core performance typically governs frame pacing. Its multi-thread score of 34470 in Passmark and 18760 in Cinebench R23 multicore indicate substantial headroom beyond what Lockdown Protocol demands. In short: the CPU role is supportive, the GPU role is decisive. The RTX 3070, with 5888 shading units and 8 GB of GDDR6 on a 256-bit bus delivering 448.0 GB/s of bandwidth, is the component that determines which presets stay above 60 FPS.
How This Combo Ranks
Out of 3714 tested combinations in Lockdown Protocol, this pairing ranks 1551 — comfortably in the top half of the distribution but not in the enthusiast tier. That placement is consistent with the component-level percentiles: the Ryzen 7 7700 sits at the 87th percentile versus all CPUs in the database, while the RTX 3070, an End-of-life Ampere card, sits at the 61st percentile versus all GPUs. The GPU drags the combination's ceiling down relative to what the CPU could support with a stronger card.
The RTX 3070's own benchmark scores reinforce this mid-upper placement: a Passmark G3D score of 22214, a Geekbench OpenCL score of 112821, and a 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 3162. These are solid figures, but the measured frame rates show where the limits lie — Ultra at 4K is the one scenario where the combination falls short of the playable threshold.
Similar Performance Alternatives
For near-identical behavior in Lockdown Protocol, the database points to specific substitutes. On the CPU side, the Ryzen 7 7700's nearest rivals are remarkably close: the AMD Ryzen AI 9 365 averages within 0.1% of its aggregate benchmark score, the Intel Core 5 221E within 0.2%, the AMD Ryzen 9 270 within 0.4%, and the Intel Core i9-13905H within 0.6%. Any of these processors would produce effectively indistinguishable results in this GPU-bound title.
On the GPU side, the AMD Radeon RX 7600 XT trails the RTX 3070 by just 0.7% on aggregate score, making it the most direct swap. The NVIDIA GeForce GTX 690 sits 1% behind, the AMD Radeon HD 7970M 1.1% behind, and the NVIDIA Tesla K40c is 1.5% ahead. Pairing the Ryzen 7 7700 with any of these cards should yield frame rates within a few percent of the measured results across all resolutions and presets.
Best Settings per Resolution
At 1920x1080, the most demanding preset that stays at or above 60 FPS is Ultra, at 100.6 FPS average — a wide margin over the threshold.
At 2560x1440, Ultra again clears the bar at 75.1 FPS average, leaving High (98.9 FPS) and Medium (114.4 FPS) as unnecessary compromises.
At 3840x2160, Ultra drops to 44.6 FPS and fails the threshold, so the best playable preset is High, at 65.4 FPS average. Medium at 72 FPS is the safer choice if frame-time consistency matters more than visual fidelity, since 65.4 FPS at High leaves only a modest buffer above 60.
The Verdict
Yes — this PC runs Lockdown Protocol well. At 1920x1080, every preset including Ultra is playable, with Ultra averaging 100.6 FPS. At 2560x1440, every preset is again playable, topping out at Ultra with 75.1 FPS. At 3840x2160, High, Medium, and Low all clear 60 FPS — High at 65.4 FPS, Medium at 72 FPS, Low at 99.8 FPS — while Ultra at 44.6 FPS is the only configuration that misses the mark. For a competitive FPS where high frame rates matter, 1080p at Low (215.8 FPS) or Medium (155.9 FPS) offers exceptional responsiveness; for visual quality, 1440p Ultra at 75.1 FPS is the sweet spot in this dataset.
Measured FPS Breakdown
1920x1080:
- Low: 215.8 FPS average
- Medium: 155.9 FPS average
- High: 134.3 FPS average
- Ultra: 100.6 FPS average
2560x1440:
- Low: 158.2 FPS average
- Medium: 114.4 FPS average
- High: 98.9 FPS average
- Ultra: 75.1 FPS average
3840x2160:
- Low: 99.8 FPS average
- Medium: 72 FPS average
- High: 65.4 FPS average
- Ultra: 44.6 FPS average
The progression is orderly and predictable: each step up in resolution costs roughly a third of the frame rate at a given preset, and each step up in preset quality costs a similar fraction. Minimum and maximum frame rates were not recorded in this dataset, so the averages above represent the full extent of the measured data. Notably, even the worst result — 4K Ultra at 44.6 FPS — remains within striking distance of the 60 FPS threshold, and every other tested combination of resolution and preset exceeds it, several by very wide margins.
