Lockdown Protocol

The AMD Ryzen 9 7900X paired with the AMD Radeon RX 6750 XT delivers a versatile 1080p and 1440p experience in Lockdown Protocol, with 4K reserved for lighter presets. The measured data, drawn from 12 benchmark runs across three resolutions and four quality settings, provides a clear picture of the combo’s capabilities. This analysis walks through the exact frame rates, ranking position, and component roles, using only the supplied facts.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 3840x2160, the combo’s output ranges from 41.4 FPS to 97.5 FPS depending on the preset. The Low settings run produces an average of 97.5 FPS, making it the only 4K preset to clear the 60 FPS threshold by a wide margin. Medium settings drop the average to 67.5 FPS, still playable but with less headroom. High settings yield 57.6 FPS, just below the 60 FPS playable mark. Ultra settings are the most demanding, producing 41.4 FPS, which falls well short of smooth gameplay.

At 2560x1440, the results improve substantially across the board. Low settings hit an average of 150 FPS, nearly two and a half times the 4K Low figure. Medium settings deliver 103.7 FPS, while High settings reach 93 FPS. Ultra settings at 1440p produce 65.4 FPS, which is slightly above the 60 FPS threshold and represents the best visual quality that remains playable at this resolution. The gap between Low and Ultra at 1440p is 84.6 FPS, showing a significant but manageable scaling cost.

At 1920x1080, the combo performs at its strongest. Low settings average 198.5 FPS, the highest recorded figure in the dataset. Medium settings follow at 143.1 FPS, High at 122.5 FPS, and Ultra at 96 FPS. All four presets at 1080p stay comfortably above 60 FPS, with even the most demanding Ultra preset retaining a 36 FPS margin over the playable threshold. The 1080p Ultra figure of 96 FPS is higher than every 1440p preset except Low, underscoring how resolution scaling affects performance more than preset changes within this range.

How This Combo Ranks

The pairing holds the 1700th position out of 3714 tested combos in Lockdown Protocol. This places it in the upper half of all configurations, roughly at the 54th percentile when considering the rank relative to the total pool. The CPU sits at the 91st percentile among all tested processors, while the GPU ranks at the 71st percentile among all tested graphics cards. The gap between these percentiles suggests the CPU is a stronger component relative to its peers than the GPU, which influences how the pairing behaves under varying loads.

The combo’s rank of 1700 out of 3714 indicates that a substantial number of configurations outperform it, but it also outperforms a larger number of alternatives. In practical terms, the measured FPS data shows this rank translates to solid 1080p and 1440p performance, with 4K being the limiting factor. The rank does not reflect a top-tier enthusiast setup, but it does represent a capable mid-to-high-range configuration for this title.

Best Settings per Resolution

At 3840x2160, the most demanding preset that stays at or above 60 FPS is Medium, with an average of 67.5 FPS. Low settings also clear the threshold at 97.5 FPS, but Medium offers higher visual quality while retaining a 7.5 FPS margin over the playable line. High and Ultra fall short at 57.6 FPS and 41.4 FPS respectively, making them unsuitable for smooth 4K play.

At 2560x1440, the best settings are Ultra, averaging 65.4 FPS. This is notable because it means the combo can run the highest quality preset at 1440p while remaining 5.4 FPS above the 60 FPS threshold. All four presets at this resolution — Low, Medium, High, and Ultra — are playable, giving users full freedom to choose between maximum frame rates or maximum fidelity.

At 1920x1080, the best settings are again Ultra, with an average of 96 FPS. Every preset at 1080p exceeds 60 FPS, and Ultra maintains a 36 FPS cushion. This makes 1080p the resolution where the combo has the most headroom, allowing users to enable the highest settings without any concern for dropping below the playable threshold.

Similar Performance Alternatives

Looking at the CPU’s nearest rivals, the AMD Ryzen 9 7900X’s average benchmark score of 53288 is closely matched by several processors. The AMD EPYC 7313P scores 53206, a 0.2% difference. The Intel Xeon 634 scores 52974, which is 0.6% lower. The Intel Xeon Phi 7290 scores 53469, coming in 0.3% higher, and the Intel Core i7-14700F scores 53620, 0.6% higher. These four CPUs would behave nearly identically in Lockdown Protocol from a CPU-limited standpoint, with performance deltas well under one percent.

For the GPU, the AMD Radeon RX 6750 XT’s average benchmark score of 26011 is mirrored by several alternatives. The AMD Radeon R9 M395X scores 25891, a 0.5% difference. The AMD FirePro W7100 scores 25856, 0.6% lower. The AMD FirePro D700 scores 25842, 0.7% lower. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 Ti Mobile scores 25740, 1.1% lower. These GPUs would produce frame rates within a similar range, though the RX 6750 XT holds a slight edge over each of them. Users with any of these GPU alternatives paired with a comparable CPU would expect similar measured FPS figures, with the RX 6750 XT combo maintaining a small advantage.

CPU and GPU Roles

The data shows that resolution scaling has a larger impact on frame rates than preset scaling, which points to the GPU being the primary bottleneck in most scenarios. Moving from 1920x1080 to 2560x1440 at Ultra settings drops the average from 96 FPS to 65.4 FPS, a decrease of 30.6 FPS. Moving from 2560x1440 to 3840x2160 at Ultra drops it further to 41.4 FPS, another 24 FPS decrease. This pattern, where each resolution step costs roughly 25-30 FPS at Ultra, indicates the GPU is under increasing load as pixel count rises.

The CPU’s influence is more visible at lower resolutions and lower presets. At 1920x1080 Low, the combo reaches 198.5 FPS, which is likely near the CPU’s frame-delivery ceiling for this game. At 2560x1440 Low, it drops to 150 FPS, and at 3840x2160 Low, it falls to 97.5 FPS. The 48.5 FPS difference between 1080p Low and 1440p Low is larger than the 52.5 FPS difference between 1440p Low and 4K Low, suggesting that at 1080p Low, the GPU is no longer the limiting factor and the CPU’s capabilities cap the frame rate.

Preset scaling also reveals the GPU’s dominance. At 1080p, moving from Low to Ultra reduces the average from 198.5 FPS to 96 FPS, a 102.5 FPS swing. At 4K, the same preset change reduces the average from 97.5 FPS to 41.4 FPS, a 56.1 FPS swing. The smaller absolute swing at 4K indicates that the GPU is already heavily loaded at Low settings, leaving less headroom for preset increases to affect performance. Across all resolutions, the CPU maintains a strong baseline, but the GPU dictates the playable envelope.

The Verdict

This PC can run Lockdown Protocol, but the playable range depends heavily on resolution and settings. At 1920x1080, every preset — Low, Medium, High, and Ultra — clears 60 FPS, with Ultra averaging 96 FPS. This is the optimal resolution for the combo, offering full settings freedom. At 2560x1440, all four presets also remain playable, with Ultra averaging 65.4 FPS as the best visual option. At 3840x2160, only Low and Medium are playable, with Medium at 67.5 FPS being the best choice; High at 57.6 FPS and Ultra at 41.4 FPS are not suitable for smooth play. The data confirms a 1080p and 1440p capable system that can handle 4K only with reduced quality settings.
