Best Settings per Resolution
For each resolution, the most demanding preset that maintains an average of at least 60 FPS is selected.
At 3840x2160 (4K), the answer is Low. The recorded average FPS is 82.3. Medium falls to 59.5 FPS, which is just under the 60 FPS threshold, so it cannot be considered playable. High and Ultra are further behind at 54.2 and 41.7 FPS respectively.
At 2560x1440 (1440p), the best playable preset is High, delivering an average of 81.7 FPS. Medium runs at 93.7 FPS and Low at 130 FPS, but High is the most demanding option that still stays above 60. Ultra drops to 57.5 FPS, missing the threshold by a small margin.
At 1920x1080 (1080p), the best playable preset is Ultra, with an average of 80.8 FPS. All lower presets also clear the threshold: High at 106.4 FPS, Medium at 127.9 FPS, and Low at 179.2 FPS.
Similar Performance Alternatives
The database provides nearest rival scores for both the CPU and GPU, allowing a look at what other hardware would behave similarly.
On the CPU side, the Ryzen 9 5950X has an average benchmark score of 51,947. The closest alternatives are the Intel Core Ultra 5 235HX at 52,073 (0.2% lower), the AMD EPYC 8124P at 52,121 (0.3% lower), the Intel Core i9-13900F at 51,730 (0.4% higher), and the Intel Core i7-14700 at 52,301 (0.7% lower). All four are within a narrow band, meaning a system with any of these processors would produce nearly identical frame rates in Lockdown Protocol, assuming the same GPU.
On the GPU side, the RTX 2070 SUPER has an average benchmark score of 20,282. Its nearest rivals include the NVIDIA Quadro M4000M at 20,480 (1% higher), the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Mobile at 20,534 (1.2% higher), the Intel Arc B570 at 20,556 (1.3% higher), and the Intel Arc A750 at 20,582 (1.5% higher). These deltas are small enough that swapping in any of these GPUs would yield comparable performance, though the RTX 2070 SUPER is the lowest-scoring of the group.
The Verdict
The data shows that this configuration can run Lockdown Protocol, but the playable range depends heavily on resolution. At 4K, only Low settings clear the 60 FPS threshold, with an average of 82.3 FPS. Medium, High, and Ultra all fall below 60, so users targeting 4K must accept reduced visual quality.
At 1440p, the situation improves. High settings deliver 81.7 FPS on average, which is a solid playable experience. Medium and Low are also playable, but Ultra is not, at 57.5 FPS. So the best balance of quality and performance at this resolution is High.
At 1080p, the full range of presets is playable. Ultra runs at 80.8 FPS, which clears the threshold with headroom. This means the user can enable maximum settings without worrying about frame rate drops below the playable line.
In summary, the verdict by resolution is: 4K playable only on Low, 1440p playable up to High, and 1080p playable on all settings including Ultra. For users who want the best visual experience, 1080p Ultra is the recommended target, while 1440p High offers a good middle ground.
CPU and GPU Roles
The frame rate data shows how the balance of CPU and GPU workload shifts across resolutions and presets. At 1080p, the average FPS ranges from 179.2 on Low to 80.8 on Ultra. This wide spread, a difference of 98.4 FPS, indicates that the GPU is the primary limiter: lower settings reduce GPU load, allowing the CPU to push much higher frame rates.
At 1440p, the spread narrows. Low runs at 130 FPS, Medium at 93.7, High at 81.7, and Ultra at 57.5. The gap between Low and Ultra is 72.5 FPS, which is still substantial but smaller than at 1080p. This suggests that as resolution increases, the GPU becomes more stressed, and the CPU's ability to drive high frame rates on low settings is less impactful.
At 4K, the range compresses further. Low runs at 82.3 FPS, Medium at 59.5, High at 54.2, and Ultra at 41.7. The total spread is 40.6 FPS, the smallest of the three resolutions. At this resolution, the GPU is heavily loaded across all presets, and even dropping to Low does not produce the massive frame rate gains seen at 1080p. The CPU has less room to stretch because the GPU is the bottleneck.
These patterns indicate that Lockdown Protocol scales primarily with GPU load. The Ryzen 9 5950X, with its high multi-threaded performance (26,017 in Cinebench R23 multi-core and a 91st percentile ranking among CPUs), is not the limiting factor in this pairing. Instead, the RTX 2070 SUPER determines the ceiling at higher resolutions and presets. At 1080p Low, the CPU can still push 179.2 FPS, showing it has headroom to spare, but the GPU cannot maintain similar rates when settings or resolution increase.
How This Combo Ranks
The combination of the Ryzen 9 5950X and RTX 2070 SUPER ranks 2,140 out of 3,714 tested combos in Lockdown Protocol. This places the configuration in the upper 42% of all tested systems, meaning it outperforms a majority of the database but is not near the top.
The rank reflects the GPU's position as the weaker component. The RTX 2070 SUPER sits in the 65th percentile of all GPUs, with an average benchmark score of 20,282. Its nearest rivals are all within 1.5%, indicating that it is a mid-pack GPU. The CPU, by contrast, is in the 91st percentile, showing that it is a high-end part relative to the GPU.
In practical terms, this rank means that users with this combo will experience performance typical of a mid-range GPU paired with a high-end CPU. The CPU does not hold the system back, but the GPU limits the overall frame rate, especially at higher resolutions and quality presets. Upgrading the GPU would likely improve the rank more than upgrading the CPU, but the data for this specific combo shows a playable experience across most settings at 1080p and 1440p.
Measured FPS Breakdown
The following table lists every recorded average FPS value from the database for this CPU and GPU combination.
At 3840x2160:
- Ultra: 41.7 FPS average
- High: 54.2 FPS average
- Medium: 59.5 FPS average
- Low: 82.3 FPS average
At 2560x1440:
- Ultra: 57.5 FPS average
- High: 81.7 FPS average
- Medium: 93.7 FPS average
- Low: 130 FPS average
At 1920x1080:
- Ultra: 80.8 FPS average
- High: 106.4 FPS average
- Medium: 127.9 FPS average
- Low: 179.2 FPS average
No minimum or maximum FPS values were recorded in the database; only average FPS is available for each resolution and preset combination. The data shows a consistent trend: lowering resolution or settings increases average FPS, with the largest gains appearing at 1080p Low (179.2 FPS) and the lowest result at 4K Ultra (41.7 FPS). Across all twelve data points, the configuration stays above 60 FPS in seven cases, and those cases are exactly the ones identified as playable in the verdict.
