This hardware delivers a locked 60+ FPS experience at every preset and resolution tested, with the most demanding Ultra preset still producing an average of 88 FPS at 4K, 137 FPS at 1440p, and 187 FPS at 1080p. The data confirms this is a top-tier system that removes the GPU as a bottleneck and leans heavily on the CPU’s strengths, making it ideal for high-refresh-rate competitive play.

How This Combo Ranks

The combination holds the 46th position out of 3,714 tested combos in Lockdown Protocol, placing it in the top 1.2% of all systems evaluated. This rank reflects a pairing of a CPU that sits in the 83rd percentile against all CPUs and a GPU in the 92nd percentile against all GPUs, both of which are near the apex of their respective performance curves.

Benchmark results indicate that the CPU’s average benchmark score of 33,079 and the GPU’s average benchmark score of 77,712 are both exceptionally high, but the in-game ranking is what matters most. The data shows that this combo outperforms the overwhelming majority of tested systems, with only 45 other combinations producing higher average FPS across the tested resolutions and presets. The ranking is particularly impressive because it considers all tested presets, meaning the system’s consistency across Low, Medium, High, and Ultra settings contributes to its high position. For context, the CPU alone is in the 83rd percentile, and the GPU is in the 92nd percentile, so the combined result slightly trails the absolute ceiling of both components, but the margin is negligible for practical gameplay.

Best Settings per Resolution

The most demanding preset that stays at or above 60 FPS at each resolution is Ultra across all three tested resolutions. The measured FPS data for this combo shows no preset dips below the playable threshold, so the best settings are always the highest visual quality available.

• 3840x2160 (4K): Ultra preset runs at an average of 88 FPS. This is the most demanding configuration tested, and it still clears the 60 FPS target by a comfortable 28 FPS margin. The Medium preset offers 135 FPS average, High provides 118 FPS, and Low runs at 190 FPS, but Ultra is the recommended choice since it maintains playability with maximum fidelity.
• 2560x1440 (1440p): Ultra preset delivers an average of 137 FPS. This is more than double the 60 FPS threshold, providing ample headroom for high-refresh-rate monitors. The next step down, High, runs at 183 FPS, but the data supports Ultra as the best setting because it still offers a framerate that exceeds the needs of most displays.
• 1920x1080 (1080p): Ultra preset reaches an average of 187 FPS. This is the highest average FPS at the Ultra preset across all resolutions, and it ensures that even with demanding scenes, the framerate remains far above the playable threshold. The Medium preset at 1080p hits 260 FPS average, but Ultra remains the recommended setting because it balances visual quality with a framerate that is still exceptionally high.

The data shows a consistent pattern: this combo is so powerful that the limiting factor is never the preset choice, but rather the resolution and the monitor’s refresh rate. At every resolution, the Ultra preset is the best option because it provides the highest visual quality without ever threatening the 60 FPS floor.

CPU and GPU Roles

The performance scaling across resolutions reveals that the GPU becomes more influential as resolution increases, while the CPU maintains a strong baseline at all settings. The data shows that the framerate drops significantly when moving from 1080p to 4K at the same preset, which is the classic signature of GPU-bound rendering.

At 1080p, the Ultra preset runs at 187 FPS, but the Low preset hits 296 FPS. This difference of 109 FPS between Low and Ultra indicates that the CPU is capable of feeding the GPU with enough data to hit very high framerates, but the GPU’s workload at Ultra settings limits the output. At 1440p, the Ultra preset drops to 137 FPS, and the Low preset runs at 266 FPS. The gap between Low and Ultra narrows to 129 FPS, showing that the GPU is becoming more dominant. At 4K, the Ultra preset falls to 88 FPS, while Low runs at 190 FPS. The 102 FPS gap between Low and Ultra at 4K is smaller than at 1440p, suggesting that the GPU is now the primary constraint, as the resolution increase adds a heavier fill-rate burden.

The CPU’s role is most visible in the Low preset results. At 4K Low, the system produces 190 FPS, which is only 106 FPS less than the 1080p Low result of 296 FPS. This indicates that even at 4K, the CPU is not the bottleneck; the GPU is still the main driver of performance differences between resolutions. The CPU’s 3DMark multi-threaded score of 7,980 and single-thread score of 959 show strong per-core performance, which is essential for a game like Lockdown Protocol. The data suggests that at 1080p and 1440p, the combination is well-balanced, with the CPU capable of pushing framerates beyond 200 FPS at lower presets, while the GPU’s power is fully utilized at Ultra settings and higher resolutions.

Similar Performance Alternatives

Based on the nearest rivals in the benchmark database, several other hardware combinations would behave similarly in Lockdown Protocol.

For the CPU, the AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D has an average benchmark score of 33,079, and its closest rivals are nearly identical in performance. The AMD Ryzen 7 8700G scores 33,089, a delta of 0%, meaning it would produce virtually the same framerates in CPU-bound scenarios. The Intel Core i7-13650HX also scores 33,089, with a 0% delta. The AMD Ryzen 7 7745HX scores 33,091, again with a 0% delta. The AMD Ryzen 9 PRO 6950H scores 33,201, which is -0.4% slower, a negligible difference. Any of these CPUs paired with the RTX 5090 D would deliver comparable results in Lockdown Protocol, with the framerate differences being imperceptible in practice.

For the GPU, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 D has an average benchmark score of 77,712. The AMD Radeon RX 6650M XT scores 76,904, which is 1.1% slower, placing it as the closest rival. The AMD Radeon RX 6850M XT scores 78,940, which is -1.6% faster, meaning it would offer a slight edge in GPU-bound scenarios. The NVIDIA Tesla P100 PCIe 12 GB scores 79,396, -2.1% faster, and the NVIDIA Tesla P100 PCIe 16 GB scores 79,605, -2.4% faster. These GPUs are all within a 3.5% performance band of the RTX 5090 D, so a system using any of them with the same CPU would produce similar FPS in Lockdown Protocol, with the Tesla cards providing a small advantage in pure GPU compute tasks.

The data indicates that the Ryzen 7 7800X3D and RTX 5090 D pairing is well-tuned, but swapping either component for any of the listed rivals would not change the overall verdict: the system would still run Ultra settings at 60+ FPS across all resolutions.
