Performance Analysis: Lockdown Protocol on Your System
The AMD Ryzen 7 7700X paired with the AMD Radeon RX 7700 XT delivers a strong 1080p and 1440p experience in Lockdown Protocol, with 4K playable only at reduced settings. The data indicates a system that scales predictably with resolution and preset changes, with the GPU becoming the primary bottleneck at higher resolutions while the CPU keeps frame rates high at lower settings.
FAQ
Q: What is the best settings preset for 4K on this system?
A: The best playable setting at 3840x2160 is High, achieving an average of 62.5 FPS. Low and Medium also clear the 60 FPS threshold, but Ultra drops to 49.4 FPS, which is below the playable threshold.
Q: Can this system run the game at 1440p with Ultra settings?
A: Yes. At 2560x1440, the Ultra preset averages 73.8 FPS, which is well above the 60 FPS playable threshold. All four presets (Low, Medium, High, Ultra) are playable at this resolution.
Q: How much faster is 1080p Low compared to 4K Ultra?
A: At 1920x1080 with Low settings, the average FPS is 215.4. At 3840x2160 with Ultra settings, the average FPS is 49.4. This represents a 336% performance increase.
Q: What is the rank of this GPU/CPU combo among all tested combos?
A: The combination ranks 1393 out of 3714 total tested combinations in Lockdown Protocol, placing it in the top 37.5% of all tested hardware pairs.
Q: Which component is more important at 4K resolution?
A: The GPU becomes the limiting factor. The average FPS drops from 103.5 at Low to 49.4 at Ultra, a 52% reduction. The CPU, with its high single-thread score of 1090 in 3DMark, has less influence as rendering load increases.
Q: What is the difference in FPS between Low and Ultra at 1080p?
A: The average FPS goes from 215.4 at Low to 104.1 at Ultra. This shows a 51.7% drop in performance, but still leaves the frame rate well above the 60 FPS threshold.
CPU and GPU Roles
The measured FPS data reveals a clear shift in system bottleneck as resolution changes. At 1920x1080, the CPU plays a more significant role. The difference between Low and Medium settings is relatively small (215.4 vs 157.5), but moving to High produces a smaller drop to 136.7 FPS. This pattern indicates that the CPU is helping to feed the GPU with enough data to maintain very high frame rates. The Ryzen 7 7700X's strong single-thread performance, scoring 1090 in 3DMark, is likely the engine behind these high numbers.
At 2560x1440, the balance shifts toward the GPU. The frame rates are consistently lower at every preset compared to 1080p, but the relative scaling remains similar. For example, the difference between Low and Ultra is 163.1 to 73.8, a 55% reduction. This suggests that both components are still working together, but the GPU is starting to handle more of the rendering load.
At 3840x2160, the GPU becomes the dominant bottleneck. The average FPS at High is 62.5, which is only 10% higher than at 1440p Ultra. The difference between Low and Ultra at 4K is 103.5 vs 49.4, a 52% drop. This is a much larger performance impact than at 1080p, indicating the GPU's rasterization power is the limiting factor. The RX 7700 XT's 35.17 TFLOPS of FP32 performance is being taxed heavily at this resolution.
The data shows that the CPU can handle even the highest frame rates at 1080p without holding the GPU back. Moving to 4K, the frame rate is constrained by the GPU's ability to process pixel-heavy scenes. This is a typical distribution of workloads for a mid-range GPU paired with a high-end CPU.
Measured FPS Breakdown
1920x1080: The system delivers exceptional performance. At Low settings, the average FPS is 215.4. Medium settings reduce this to 157.5. High settings yield an average of 136.7. Ultra settings result in 104.1. All presets are well above the 60 FPS threshold, with even the most demanding preset maintaining a strong average. The gap between Low and Ultra is substantial at 111.3 FPS.
2560x1440: Performance remains very strong, with all presets playable. Low settings average 163.1 FPS. Medium is 113.1. High settings score 100.4. Ultra is at 73.8. The scaling from 1080p to 1440p is consistent; for example, at High, the drop from 136.7 to 100.4 represents a 27% reduction. At Ultra, the drop is from 104.1 to 73.9, a 29% reduction, showing the GPU has less headroom at this resolution.
3840x2160: The system becomes more constrained. Low settings average 103.5 FPS, which is still a solid number. Medium averages 74.4. High averages 62.5, just above the 60 FPS threshold. Ultra is below the threshold at 49.4 FPS. This is the largest performance drop from 1440p; at High, the 100.4 average at 1440p drops to 62.5 at 4K, a 38% reduction. The data makes it clear that 4K Ultra is not a playable setting for this combination.
The Verdict
Based on the measured data, this PC can run Lockdown Protocol with high frame rates at 1080p and 1440p, and at 4K with acceptable settings. The verdict by resolution is:
- 1920x1080: Playable at all presets, with the best setting being Ultra at an average of 104.1 FPS.
- 2560x1440: Playable at all presets, with the best setting being Ultra at an average of 73.8 FPS.
- 3840x2160: Playable at High, Medium, and Low. The best setting is High at 62.5 FPS. Ultra is not playable as it averages 49.4 FPS, which is below the 60 FPS threshold.
The system is therefore capable of delivering a smooth 60 FPS experience at all three resolutions, provided the preset is chosen correctly. The data indicates that the 4K Ultra preset is the only setting that fails to meet the playable threshold.
Best Settings per Resolution
- 3840x2160: The most demanding preset that stays at or above 60 FPS is High, with an average of 62.5 FPS. This is the only preset at 4K that is both playable and the highest visual quality available.
- 2560x1440: The most demanding preset that stays at or above 60 FPS is Ultra, with an average of 73.8 FPS. This allows for maximum graphical quality while still maintaining a solid frame rate.
- 1920x1080: The most demanding preset that stays at or above 60 FPS is Ultra, with an average of 104.1 FPS. This is the best visual quality option, with plenty of performance headroom.
How This Combo Ranks
The combination of the AMD Ryzen 7 7700X and the AMD Radeon RX 7700 XT ranks 1393rd out of 3714 total tested combinations in Lockdown Protocol. This places it in the 37th percentile of all tested hardware pairs. The Ryzen 7 7700X alone has a percentile rank of 85 among all CPUs, indicating it is a top-tier processor. The GPU, however, has a percentile rank of 67 among all GPUs, which is solid but not exceptional. The final ranking is within the top 37% of all combos, showing that the pair is a balanced and capable mid-to-high-tier option for this game.
Similar Performance Alternatives
The nearest rivals for the CPU are based on average benchmark scores. The AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 5845 has an average score of 35802, which is 0.3% faster than the Ryzen 7 7700X. The Intel Core 7 250H follows with 35728 (0.5% faster). Both would offer nearly identical CPU performance in Lockdown Protocol.
For the GPU, the nearest rivals are the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 Mobile with an average score of 22435 (0.5% faster), and the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2080 with an average score of 22895 (1.5% faster). The AMD Radeon RX 5700 with a score of 22170 is 1.7% slower. These GPUs would deliver a very similar frame rate experience to the RX 7700 XT in this game, with the RTX 2080 being slightly faster and the RX 5700 being slightly slower.
