Similar Performance Alternatives

Looking at the nearestRivals data, the CPU and GPU in this combo have close performance neighbors. The Ryzen 9 5950X sits within a tight performance band of its rivals, with a 0.4% lead over the Intel Core i9-13900F and a 0.7% deficit against the Intel Core i7-14700. The AMD EPYC 8124P is 0.3% faster, and the Intel Core Ultra 5 235HX is 0.2% faster. For gaming in Lockdown Protocol, swapping to any of these CPUs would produce nearly identical frame rates, as the differences are well under 1%.

On the GPU side, the RTX 4080 SUPER's closest competitor is the standard RTX 4080, which scores 0.1% higher in average benchmarks. The AMD Radeon Pro W5700X is 1.1% faster, while the AMD Radeon RX 6750 GRE 12 GB and AMD Radeon 8060S are 2.7% and 2.8% faster respectively. These deltas are small enough that users would not perceive a meaningful difference in Lockdown Protocol's frame rates. A system with an RTX 4080 instead of the SUPER variant would behave almost identically, with the performance gap being statistically insignificant.

For users seeking similar overall system behavior, pairing the Ryzen 9 5950X with an RTX 4080 would yield nearly the same measured FPS, as would substituting the CPU with an Intel Core i9-13900F while keeping the RTX 4080 SUPER. The benchmark data shows the combo rank of this system is 294 out of 3714 tested combinations, placing it in the top 8% of all tested systems for this game.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The measured FPS data for this combo covers three resolutions and four settings presets, providing a comprehensive view of performance scaling.

At 1920x1080, the system delivers its highest frame rates. Low settings produce an average of 275 FPS, which is the single highest score in the entire dataset. Medium settings follow at 235.8 FPS, High at 205.7 FPS, and Ultra at 153.5 FPS. The scaling from Low to Ultra represents a 44% reduction in performance, but even the lowest score at this resolution is more than double the 60 FPS threshold.

At 2560x1440, the performance remains exceptionally strong. Low settings average 245.2 FPS, Medium scores 173.6 FPS, High reaches 152.9 FPS, and Ultra maintains 113 FPS. The gap between Low and Ultra is 54%, showing that the GPU is more stressed at this resolution. The Ultra preset still delivers nearly double the playable threshold, making 1440p an ideal resolution for high-refresh-rate monitors.

At 3840x2160, the system begins to show its limits but still performs admirably. Low settings average 158.7 FPS, Medium drops to 110.2 FPS, High achieves 97.1 FPS, and Ultra dips to 71.7 FPS. The scaling from Low to Ultra is 55%, consistent with the 1440p trend. The Ultra preset at 4K is the only configuration that falls below the 100 FPS mark, but it remains comfortably above the 60 FPS playable threshold with an 11.7 FPS margin.

The data shows that the performance delta between Low and Ultra increases with resolution, from 44% at 1080p to 55% at 4K. This indicates that the GPU becomes a more significant factor as resolution increases, while the CPU's role diminishes relative to the overall workload.

The Verdict

The performance data is unambiguous: this PC can run Lockdown Protocol exceptionally well. The verdictByResolution data confirms that all four settings presets at all three tested resolutions are playable, with no configuration falling below the 60 FPS threshold.

At 3840x2160, the system clears 60 FPS at every preset, with the best settings being Ultra at an average of 71.7 FPS. This is a meaningful achievement, as 4K Ultra gaming typically requires top-tier hardware. The 11.7 FPS margin above the playable threshold provides some headroom for demanding scenes, though users seeking a more comfortable buffer might prefer High settings at 97.1 FPS.

At 2560x1440, the system excels with Ultra settings averaging 113 FPS. This is nearly double the playable threshold, making it suitable for high-refresh-rate displays up to 100 Hz. For 144 Hz or 165 Hz monitors, the High preset at 152.9 FPS or Medium at 173.6 FPS would be better choices.

At 1920x1080, the system delivers outstanding performance. Ultra settings average 153.5 FPS, which is sufficient for most high-refresh-rate monitors. For competitive gaming, the Low preset at 275 FPS and Medium at 235.8 FPS provide the highest possible frame rates, ensuring minimal input lag and maximum smoothness.

The verdict is clear: this combination is more than capable of running Lockdown Protocol at any resolution and preset. Users with 4K displays can enjoy Ultra settings, while those with 1080p or 1440p high-refresh-rate monitors have substantial headroom to prioritize either visual quality or frame rate.

CPU and GPU Roles

The measured FPS data reveals how the CPU and GPU contribute to performance across different resolutions. The scaling between presets at each resolution shows the GPU's workload increasing as resolution rises, while the CPU's influence remains relatively constant.

At 1920x1080, the performance delta between Low and Ultra is 44%, which is the smallest gap across all resolutions. This suggests that at lower resolutions, the CPU plays a more significant role in determining frame rates, as the GPU has less work to do. The Ryzen 9 5950X, with its 16 cores and 32 threads, provides ample processing power to avoid becoming a bottleneck, allowing the RTX 4080 SUPER to push extremely high frame rates.

At 2560x1440, the delta between Low and Ultra increases to 54%. This shift indicates that the GPU is becoming more dominant, as the higher pixel count requires more graphics processing. The CPU's role diminishes slightly, but the 5950X still keeps pace with the GPU's demands, as evidenced by the high frame rates at every preset.

At 3840x2160, the delta between Low and Ultra is 55%, nearly identical to the 1440p scaling. This suggests that the GPU is fully saturated at 4K, and the CPU's influence on frame rates is minimal. The RTX 4080 SUPER is the primary determinant of performance at this resolution, with the 5950X providing sufficient support without becoming a limiting factor.

The data also shows that the absolute frame rate drop from 1080p to 4K is substantial at every preset. For example, at Ultra settings, the average FPS drops from 153.5 at 1080p to 71.7 at 4K, a 53% reduction. At Low settings, the drop is from 275 to 158.7, a 42% reduction. This pattern confirms that the GPU is the dominant factor at higher resolutions, while the CPU's contribution is more noticeable at lower resolutions where frame rates are higher.

How This Combo Ranks

In the context of all tested combinations for Lockdown Protocol, this system ranks 294 out of 3714, placing it in the top 7.9% of all tested configurations. This is a strong result, indicating that the Ryzen 9 5950X and RTX 4080 SUPER combination is well above average for this game.

The CPU's percentileVsAllCpus of 91 shows that the 5950X outperforms 91% of all CPUs in the benchmark database, while the GPU's percentileVsAllGpus of 86 indicates the RTX 4080 SUPER outperforms 86% of all GPUs. These high percentiles align with the combo's strong ranking, suggesting that both components are contributing to the system's overall performance.

The combo rank of 294 means that 293 other tested combinations achieve higher performance in Lockdown Protocol. These would likely include systems with newer or higher-end components, such as the RTX 4090 or newer generation CPUs. However, the fact that this combo ranks in the top 8% of all tested systems demonstrates that it is a highly capable configuration for this game.

When interpreting this rank, it is important to consider the dataIsMeasured field is true, meaning these are actual measured results rather than estimates. The combination of a high CPU percentile, high GPU percentile, and top-8% combo ranking provides strong evidence that this system delivers excellent performance in Lockdown Protocol, with the measured FPS data confirming playability at all resolutions and settings.
