Measured FPS Breakdown

The measured FPS data provides a clear performance profile across three resolutions and four settings presets. At 1920x1080, the combo delivers exceptional performance, starting with 273.7 FPS on Low, 225.2 FPS on Medium, 198.4 FPS on High, and 149.1 FPS on Ultra. These numbers indicate that at 1080p, the system is heavily GPU-bound at lower settings, with the CPU having ample headroom to feed the graphics card. The scaling from Low to Ultra at 1080p shows a drop of 124.6 FPS, which is a substantial 45.5% reduction in frame rate as visual fidelity increases.

Moving to 2560x1440, the average FPS figures remain high. Low settings produce 235.5 FPS, Medium produces 166.5 FPS, High produces 142.7 FPS, and Ultra produces 112.1 FPS. The difference between Low and Ultra at 1440p is 123.4 FPS, which is similar in magnitude to the 1080p difference, but the relative drop is slightly larger, indicating that the GPU is becoming a more significant factor at this resolution. The impact of resolution is clear when comparing High settings: 198.4 FPS at 1080p drops to 142.7 FPS at 1440p, a 55.7 FPS decrease.

At 3840x2160, the system still delivers playable performance across all presets. Low settings average 149.5 FPS, Medium averages 110 FPS, High averages 95 FPS, and Ultra averages 68.3 FPS. The jump from 1440p to 4K at High settings reduces the average FPS from 142.7 to 95, a 47.7 FPS drop. The data shows a consistent trend: each increase in resolution and settings tier reduces the average frame rate, but the system never falls below the 60 FPS threshold, even at the most demanding 4K Ultra preset. The spread between the lowest and highest FPS across all tested configurations is 205.4 FPS, highlighting the system's wide performance range.

Similar Performance Alternatives

Based on the nearestRivals data for the CPU, the AMD Ryzen 9 5900X has an average benchmark score of 41376. The closest rivals in terms of average score are the Intel Core i7-14650HX with a score of 41576, which is 0.5% faster. The Intel Core Ultra 7 366H scores 41263, putting it 0.3% slower than the 5900X. The Intel Core Ultra 7 356H scores 41215, which is 0.4% slower, and the AMD Ryzen AI 5 PRO 440 scores 41208, also 0.4% slower. In gaming scenarios for Lockdown Protocol, these CPUs would likely yield very similar performance to the 5900X, as the differences in average score are within a fraction of a percent.

For the GPU, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti has an average benchmark score of 49957. Its nearest rival is the AMD Radeon RX 6900 XT, which scores 50951, making it 2% faster. The AMD Radeon RX Vega 64 scores 50001, which is essentially identical, being just 0.1% slower than the RTX 5070 Ti. The Intel Arc A550M scores 49737, coming in 0.4% slower, and the AMD Radeon RX 6800 XT scores 48477, which is 3.1% slower. In practice, a system using the RX 6900 XT or RX Vega 64 would produce frame rates in Lockdown Protocol very close to those measured for the RTX 5070 Ti, with the RX 6900 XT potentially having a slight edge based on its higher benchmark score.

Best Settings per Resolution

For each resolution, the most demanding preset that maintains an average FPS at or above 60 is the Ultra setting across the board. At 1920x1080, the Ultra preset achieves an average of 149.1 FPS. This is the highest visual quality available, and the system has significant performance headroom, as this frame rate is 2.5 times the playable threshold. At 2560x1440, the Ultra preset achieves an average of 112.1 FPS, still well above the 60 FPS threshold and providing a smooth experience with maximum graphical features. At 3840x2160, the Ultra preset achieves an average of 68.3 FPS. This is the only configuration where the frame rate is close to the 60 FPS threshold, but it still clears it, allowing users to play at the highest visual settings at 4K without dropping below the playable mark. The data indicates that the system can handle the maximum settings preset at all resolutions, making the choice of which preset to use a matter of preference for higher frame rates versus maximum visual fidelity.

The Verdict

The verdict from the data is clear: this PC can run Lockdown Protocol at playable frame rates across all tested resolutions and presets. According to the verdictByResolution data, all settings are playable at every resolution. At 3840x2160, the playable settings include High, Low, Medium, and Ultra, with the best settings being Ultra at an average of 68.3 FPS. At 2560x1440, all four presets are playable, with Ultra being the best at 112.1 FPS. At 1920x1080, all presets are playable, with Ultra achieving 149.1 FPS. The system clears the 60 FPS playable threshold in every single configuration tested. The lowest performance point is 4K Ultra at 68.3 FPS, which is still 8.3 FPS above the playable threshold. This means users can confidently max out the game's settings at 1080p and 1440p for high-refresh-rate monitors, and can also enjoy 4K gaming at the highest quality preset. The data shows no configuration where the frame rate dips to an unplayable level.

CPU and GPU Roles

The measured FPS scaling across resolutions and settings provides insight into which component is more critical for Lockdown Protocol. At 1920x1080, the system achieves 198.4 FPS on High settings, and 149.1 FPS on Ultra. When moving from High to Ultra at 1080p, there is a 49.3 FPS drop, indicating that the GPU is handling the increased graphical load. The CPU is likely not the limiting factor at this resolution, given the very high frame rates that exceed 200 FPS on Medium and 270 FPS on Low.

At 2560x1440, the High preset delivers 142.7 FPS, while the Ultra preset delivers 112.1 FPS. The performance gap between High and Ultra at 1440p is 30.6 FPS. More importantly, comparing High settings between 1080p and 1440p shows a drop from 198.4 to 142.7 FPS, a 55.7 FPS reduction. This significant drop is attributed to the increased pixel count, which places a greater load on the GPU. The data suggests that the GPU becomes more influential as resolution increases.

At 3840x2160, the High preset drops to 95 FPS, and Ultra drops to 68.3 FPS. The difference between High and Ultra at 4K is 26.7 FPS. The transition from 1440p High to 4K High results in a 47.7 FPS decrease. This continued decline with resolution confirms that the GPU is the dominant factor at higher resolutions. The CPU's role is more pronounced at 1080p, where frame rates are extremely high and the GPU is not as heavily taxed, but the Ryzen 9 5900X with its 12 cores and 24 threads provides sufficient performance to keep up with the RTX 5070 Ti. The scaling pattern shows the GPU's workload increasing with resolution, while the CPU's impact is more visible in the high-FPS 1080p scenarios. Overall, the data indicates that the GPU is the primary driver of performance in Lockdown Protocol, especially at 1440p and 4K, while the CPU is more relevant for maximizing frame rates at 1080p.
