Lockdown Protocol

Lockdown Protocol, an FPS released on 2024-03-11, runs comfortably on the AMD Ryzen 7 9700X and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti. The measured data shows every preset at every tested resolution clears the 60 FPS playable threshold, and the highest preset, Ultra, averages 142 FPS at 1920x1080, 104 FPS at 2560x1440, and 67 FPS at 3840x2160. The combination ranks 428th out of 3,714 tested combos, placing it well within playable territory for this title.

Measured Performance Overview

All FPS values in this analysis are measured, not estimated. The game’s playable threshold is 60 FPS. At 1920x1080, the configuration produces 305 FPS on Low, 217 FPS on Medium with a minimum of 184 FPS and maximum of 249 FPS, 189 FPS on High, and 142 FPS on Ultra. At 2560x1440, Low averages 224 FPS, Medium averages 159 FPS with a minimum of 135 FPS and maximum of 183 FPS, High averages 139 FPS, and Ultra averages 104 FPS. At 3840x2160, Low averages 144 FPS, Medium averages 103 FPS with a minimum of 87 FPS and maximum of 118 FPS, High averages 90 FPS, and Ultra averages 67 FPS.

The lowest average FPS in the entire measured set is 67 FPS, which still exceeds the 60 FPS playable threshold. The dataset includes min/max frame values only for the Medium preset; other presets report average FPS only. Even the Medium preset minimums at every resolution stay above 60 FPS: 184 FPS at 1920x1080, 135 FPS at 2560x1440, and 87 FPS at 3840x2160. That means the configuration does not dip below playable levels in the recorded data.

Resolution and Preset Analysis

At the highest preset, average FPS falls from 142 at 1920x1080 to 104 at 2560x1440 and 67 at 3840x2160. This is a steady reduction, but the 3840x2160 result remains above playable. The High preset follows a similar curve: 189 FPS, 139 FPS, and 90 FPS. Medium averages 217 FPS, 159 FPS, and 103 FPS across the three resolutions. Low averages 305 FPS, 224 FPS, and 144 FPS.

The performance spread between Low and Ultra is large at every resolution. At 1920x1080, Low reaches 305 FPS while Ultra still holds 142 FPS, leaving substantial headroom for high-refresh displays. At 2560x1440, Low reaches 224 FPS and Ultra remains at 104 FPS. At 3840x2160, Low reaches 144 FPS and Ultra stays at 67 FPS. The data indicates that the RTX 4070 Ti is the dominant factor in this pairing, with the Ryzen 7 9700X providing enough throughput to keep every preset above the threshold.

The verdict data classifies all four presets as playable at all three resolutions. The best settings field selects Ultra at each resolution, with average FPS of 67 at 3840x2160, 104 at 2560x1440, and 142 at 1920x1080. This is a clean result: no resolution forces a preset downgrade to stay playable.
