Performance Analysis: Lockdown Protocol on Your System
The AMD Ryzen 9 5900X paired with the AMD Radeon RX 6700 XT delivers a solid 1080p and 1440p experience in Lockdown Protocol, but it falls short of a smooth 60 FPS at 4K on the highest settings. Based on measured data, this combo ranks at 1950 out of 3714 tested combinations, placing it in the upper half of all tested systems. The pair is capable of hitting high frame rates at lower resolutions, though the GPU becomes the limiting factor as resolution scales upward.
How This Combo Ranks
The combo’s rank of 1950 out of 3714 tested combinations places it in the 52nd percentile of all tested hardware pairings for Lockdown Protocol. This is a mid-pack result, meaning there are many faster combinations, but also a substantial number of slower ones. The CPU itself sits in the 87th percentile among all tested processors, while the GPU is in the 72nd percentile among all tested graphics cards. This gap indicates the graphics card is the weaker link in this pairing, which becomes evident in the measured frame rates at higher resolutions.
The Ryzen 9 5900X posts an average benchmark score of 41376, putting it within 0.5% of the Intel Core i7-14650HX (41576) and slightly ahead of the Intel Core Ultra 7 366H (41263, +0.3%). The RX 6700 XT averages 27425, with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Mobile essentially tied at 27435 (0% delta) and the RTX 3090 slightly higher at 27565 (-0.5% delta). These figures show the combo is competitive with recent mid-range to high-end parts, though neither component is a top-tier performer by current standards.
Best Settings per Resolution
At 3840x2160 (4K), the most demanding preset that maintains at least 60 FPS on average is Medium, which delivers 64 FPS. Low settings push this to 90 FPS, but High drops to 56 FPS and Ultra falls to 42 FPS, so Medium is the highest you can go while staying above the 60 FPS playability threshold.
At 2560x1440 (1440p), all four presets are playable. Ultra runs at 65 FPS, High at 87 FPS, Medium at 99 FPS, and Low at 140 FPS. Ultra is the best choice here, as it maintains an average above 60 FPS while providing the highest visual quality available in the game’s settings.
At 1920x1080 (1080p), every preset also stays above 60 FPS. Ultra runs at 89 FPS, High at 118 FPS, Medium at 135 FPS, and Low at 191 FPS. Ultra remains the best setting, offering a comfortable margin above the 60 FPS threshold with plenty of headroom for demanding scenes.
CPU and GPU Roles
The data shows a clear shift in workload between the CPU and GPU as resolution changes. At 1080p, the CPU’s 12 cores and 24 threads are more than sufficient to feed the GPU, allowing the RX 6700 XT to reach 191 FPS on Low settings. The jump from Low to Ultra at 1080p costs 102 FPS (from 191 to 89), which is a 53% reduction in frame rate driven primarily by GPU rendering load.
At 1440p, the GPU becomes more dominant. The Ultra preset drops to 65 FPS from 89 FPS at 1080p, a 27% reduction, while Low settings drop from 191 to 140 FPS, a 27% reduction as well. This consistent scaling suggests the GPU is the primary bottleneck across all presets at this resolution. The Ryzen 9 5900X’s single-thread score of 941 in 3DMark and 1527 in Cinebench R23 are sufficient to avoid becoming a limiting factor here.
At 4K, the GPU’s role is even more pronounced. Medium settings deliver 64 FPS, but High drops to 56 FPS and Ultra to 42 FPS. The difference between Low and Ultra at 4K is 48 FPS (from 90 to 42), a 53% reduction. The CPU’s multi-threaded performance, as shown by its Cinebench R23 multicore score of 16262, is not the limitation here—the GPU’s 12 GB of VRAM and 384.0 GB/s bandwidth are being pushed to their limits at this resolution.
Similar Performance Alternatives
For the CPU, the nearest rivals are all within 0.5% of the Ryzen 9 5900X’s average benchmark score of 41376. The Intel Core Ultra 7 366H (41263, +0.3%), Intel Core Ultra 7 356H (41215, +0.4%), and AMD Ryzen AI 5 PRO 440 (41208, +0.4%) would all perform nearly identically in Lockdown Protocol. The Intel Core i7-14650HX (41576, -0.5%) is marginally faster. Any of these processors paired with the RX 6700 XT would produce very similar frame rates to the measured results.
On the GPU side, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Mobile (27435, 0% delta) is essentially a direct match for the RX 6700 XT’s average score of 27425. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3090 (27565, -0.5%) is slightly faster, while the NVIDIA RTX PRO 4000 Blackwell (27135, +1.1%) is slightly slower. The AMD Radeon Pro Vega 20 (27839, -1.5%) is the fastest of the group, but the differences are all within 1.5%, meaning users would not notice a practical difference in Lockdown Protocol frame rates between these cards.
Measured FPS Breakdown
At 1920x1080, the combo produces its highest frame rates. Low settings average 191 FPS, Medium averages 135 FPS with a range of 115 to 156 FPS, High averages 118 FPS, and Ultra averages 89 FPS. The minimum recorded frame rate at 1080p is 115 FPS on Medium, which is well above the 60 FPS playability threshold.
At 2560x1440, performance remains strong. Low settings average 140 FPS, Medium averages 99 FPS with a range of 84 to 114 FPS, High averages 87 FPS, and Ultra averages 65 FPS. The minimum of 84 FPS on Medium is still comfortably above 60 FPS, indicating consistent performance even in demanding scenes.
At 3840x2160, the GPU starts to struggle. Low settings average 90 FPS, Medium averages 64 FPS with a range of 54 to 74 FPS, High averages 56 FPS, and Ultra averages 42 FPS. The 54 FPS minimum on Medium is below the 60 FPS threshold, meaning there may be occasional dips below playable levels even on the recommended setting. High and Ultra are not playable at this resolution, as their averages fall below 60 FPS.
FAQ
Q: Can this combo run Lockdown Protocol at 4K with playable frame rates?
A: Yes, but only on Low or Medium settings. Medium averages 64 FPS, though the minimum recorded is 54 FPS. High and Ultra are not playable, with averages of 56 and 42 FPS respectively.
Q: What is the highest quality setting at 1440p that stays above 60 FPS?
A: Ultra, which averages 65 FPS. All four presets at this resolution stay above 60 FPS, with Low at 140 FPS, Medium at 99 FPS, and High at 87 FPS.
Q: Is the CPU or GPU more limiting for this game?
A: The GPU is the limiting factor at higher resolutions. The RX 6700 XT’s average benchmark score of 27425 is in the 72nd percentile, while the Ryzen 9 5900X is in the 87th percentile. At 4K, the GPU’s rendering load causes frame rates to drop below 60 FPS on High and Ultra presets.
Q: How does the RX 6700 XT compare to the RTX 3090 in this game?
A: The RTX 3090 has an average benchmark score of 27565, which is 0.5% higher than the RX 6700 XT’s 27425. In practice, this difference would translate to less than 1 FPS difference in Lockdown Protocol, so performance would be nearly identical.
Q: What frame rates can I expect at 1080p on Ultra settings?
A: The measured average is 89 FPS. This is well above the 60 FPS playability threshold and leaves headroom for demanding scenes or background tasks.
Q: Is this combo ranked well compared to other tested systems?
A: It ranks 1950 out of 3714 combinations, which places it in the upper half of all tested systems. The CPU is stronger relative to its peers (87th percentile) than the GPU (72nd percentile), so the graphics card is the component that holds the combo back from a higher ranking.
