Lockdown Protocol

The AMD Ryzen 7 7700X paired with the AMD Radeon RX 6750 XT delivers a remarkably consistent 60 FPS experience in Lockdown Protocol across all three tested resolutions, with the data showing that only the most demanding 4K Ultra preset falls below the playable threshold. Benchmark results indicate a system that scales predictably from 1080p to 4K, with the CPU’s strong single-thread performance complementing the GPU’s 12 GB frame buffer to keep average frame rates comfortably above 60 FPS in almost every configuration tested.

FAQ

A: The lowest average FPS recorded is 41.8, which occurs at 3840x2160 with Ultra settings. All other tested configurations maintain an average FPS above 60.

Q: How does the CPU compare to its nearest rivals in average benchmark score?

A: The AMD Ryzen 7 7700X has an average benchmark score of 35909, which is 0.3% higher than the AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 5845 and 0.5% higher than both the Intel Core 7 250H and the AMD Ryzen AI 7 PRO 350.

Similar Performance Alternatives

The AMD Ryzen 7 7700X sits at the 85th percentile among all CPUs, with an average benchmark score of 35909. Its nearest rivals in the data set are the AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 5845 with a score of 35802 and a delta of 0.3%, followed by the Intel Core 7 250H at 35728 and the AMD Ryzen AI 7 PRO 350 at 35719, both with a 0.5% delta. The Intel Core Ultra 9 185H rounds out the group at 35670, a 0.7% delta. These four alternatives would deliver nearly indistinguishable CPU-bound performance in Lockdown Protocol, as their average scores fall within 0.7% of the 7700X.

On the GPU side, the AMD Radeon RX 6750 XT achieves an average benchmark score of 26011, placing it at the 71st percentile among all GPUs. The nearest rivals include the AMD Radeon R9 M395X at 25891 (0.5% delta), the AMD FirePro W7100 at 25856 (0.6% delta), and the AMD FirePro D700 at 25842 (0.7% delta). Notably, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 Ti Mobile appears in the rival list with a score of 25740, a 1.1% delta, meaning it would perform at a very similar level despite being a mobile part. For Lockdown Protocol, any of these GPU alternatives would produce frame rates within a few percentage points of the RX 6750 XT at the same settings and resolution.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The measured FPS data covers three resolutions and four settings presets, with all values representing average frame rates. At 1920x1080, the system delivers 200.9 FPS on Low, 141.9 FPS on Medium, 125.8 FPS on High, and 93.8 FPS on Ultra. Moving to 2560x1440, the averages are 147.1 FPS on Low, 104.3 FPS on Medium, 92 FPS on High, and 70.7 FPS on Ultra. At 3840x2160, the results show 97.5 FPS on Low, 67.8 FPS on Medium, 60 FPS on High, and 41.8 FPS on Ultra.

The scaling pattern reveals a consistent relationship between resolution and settings. At 1080p, the gap between Low and Ultra is 107.1 FPS, while at 1440p this gap narrows to 76.4 FPS, and at 4K it shrinks further to 55.7 FPS. This indicates that higher resolutions increasingly tax the GPU, reducing the headroom available for higher settings presets. The 4K Ultra result of 41.8 FPS is the only data point that falls below the 60 FPS playable threshold, making it the sole non-playable configuration in the entire measured set.

The Verdict

Benchmark results indicate that this system can run Lockdown Protocol at a playable level across nearly all tested configurations. At 1920x1080, all four settings presets clear the 60 FPS threshold, with Ultra achieving 93.8 FPS and Low reaching 200.9 FPS. At 2560x1440, the same pattern holds, with Ultra maintaining 70.7 FPS and all presets above 60 FPS. At 3840x2160, the verdict is more nuanced: High, Low, and Medium all remain playable, with High at exactly 60 FPS, Medium at 67.8 FPS, and Low at 97.5 FPS. Only 4K Ultra falls short at 41.8 FPS.

The verdictByResolution data confirms this assessment. The best playable setting at 3840x2160 is High with an average of 60 FPS, while at 2560x1440 the best playable setting is Ultra at 70.7 FPS, and at 1920x1080 Ultra reaches 93.8 FPS. The system comfortably handles 1080p and 1440p at maximum settings, while 4K requires dropping from Ultra to High to maintain the 60 FPS playable threshold.

CPU and GPU Roles

The performance scaling between resolutions and settings reveals how the CPU and GPU divide responsibilities in Lockdown Protocol. The CPU, with its 8 cores and 16 threads running at a boost clock of 5.40 GHz, demonstrates strong single-thread capability with a 3dmark single-thread score of 1090 and a passmark single-thread score of 4190. Its multi-thread performance is equally robust, with a 3dmark max threads score of 8852 and a cinebench r23 multicore score of 19088.

At 1920x1080, the frame rates are high enough that the GPU becomes the limiting factor when moving from Low to Ultra, as evidenced by the 200.9 FPS Low result giving way to 93.8 FPS at Ultra. The GPU’s 2560 shading units and 13.31 TFLOPS FP32 performance handle the increasing pixel load, while the CPU maintains frame pacing. At 2560x1440, the GPU workload grows, but the RX 6750 XT’s 432.0 GB/s memory bandwidth and 12 GB GDDR6 frame buffer keep the system above 70 FPS at Ultra.

The 3840x2160 results show the GPU taking on a more dominant role. The drop from 97.5 FPS at Low to 41.8 FPS at Ultra represents a 57% reduction, far steeper than the 53% reduction seen at 1080p. This pattern indicates that at 4K, the GPU’s pixel throughput and memory bandwidth become the primary constraints, with the CPU’s contribution remaining relatively constant across settings. The fact that 4K High still achieves exactly 60 FPS suggests the GPU has sufficient headroom for moderate settings, but Ultra demands more than the 166.4 GPixel/s pixel rate can sustain.

How This Combo Ranks

The AMD Ryzen 7 7700X and AMD Radeon RX 6750 XT combination ranks 1647 out of 3714 tested combos in Lockdown Protocol, placing it in the 55th percentile of all configurations in the database. This mid-pack positioning reflects the balanced nature of the pairing: the CPU sits at the 85th percentile among all CPUs, while the GPU sits at the 71st percentile among all GPUs. The combo rank of 1647 suggests that while the CPU is a strong performer, the GPU holds the overall result back relative to higher-end configurations.

The rank becomes more meaningful when compared to the measured FPS data. Despite being ranked in the middle of all tested combos, this system still delivers playable frame rates at every resolution except 4K Ultra. The 1080p Ultra result of 93.8 FPS and the 1440p Ultra result of 70.7 FPS demonstrate that the combo rank does not translate to poor real-world performance in this title. The system outperforms its overall rank in Lockdown Protocol specifically, indicating that the game is well-optimized for this hardware combination.

Best Settings per Resolution

At 1920x1080, the most demanding preset that stays at or above 60 FPS is Ultra, with an average of 93.8 FPS. This provides the highest visual quality while maintaining a comfortable margin above the playable threshold. At 2560x1440, Ultra also remains the best playable setting, achieving 70.7 FPS, which leaves 10.7 FPS of headroom above the 60 FPS threshold. At 3840x2160, the best playable setting is High, with an average of exactly 60 FPS, meaning there is no margin for frame rate drops without falling below playable levels.

For users seeking maximum visual fidelity, the data supports Ultra at both 1080p and 1440p, while 4K users must accept High settings. The 41.8 FPS result at 4K Ultra clearly indicates that preset is not viable for sustained play. The measured FPS values at each resolution’s best setting — 93.8 at 1080p, 70.7 at 1440p, and 60 at 4K — show a progressive decline that mirrors the increasing pixel count, with each resolution step requiring roughly a 25% reduction in frame rate to maintain the highest playable settings.
