Performance Analysis: Lockdown Protocol on Your System
Lockdown Protocol, a 2024 FPS, presents a demanding workload for PC hardware. The combination of an AMD Ryzen 9 7900X and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Ti delivers a range of frame rates across resolutions and presets. Measured data shows that this system can handle the game at 1080p and 1440p with all presets, while 4K requires dropping from Ultra to High to maintain 60 FPS. The following analysis breaks down the measured FPS, answers common questions, compares similar hardware, and assesses the CPU and GPU roles.
Measured FPS Breakdown
The measured FPS data covers three resolutions and four quality presets. At 3840x2160 (4K), the average frame rates are 66 FPS on High, 106 FPS on Low, 76 FPS on Medium, and 49 FPS on Ultra. The Medium preset also reports a minimum of 64 FPS and a maximum of 87 FPS, indicating some variability but staying above the 60 FPS threshold. Ultra falls below the playable threshold, making it unsuitable for smooth gameplay at 4K.
At 2560x1440 (1440p), the averages are 102 FPS on High, 165 FPS on Low, 117 FPS on Medium, and 77 FPS on Ultra. The Medium preset shows a minimum of 99 FPS and a maximum of 135 FPS, confirming consistent performance. All presets exceed 60 FPS, with Ultra still delivering a comfortable 77 FPS average.
At 1920x1080 (1080p), the averages are 139 FPS on High, 225 FPS on Low, 160 FPS on Medium, and 105 FPS on Ultra. The Medium preset ranges from 136 FPS minimum to 184 FPS maximum. Every preset clears the 60 FPS threshold by a wide margin, with even Ultra maintaining an average of 105 FPS.
The scaling from 1080p to 4K is steep. For example, Ultra drops from 105 FPS at 1080p to 77 FPS at 1440p (a 27% reduction) and then to 49 FPS at 4K (a 36% reduction from 1440p). Low settings show a similar pattern: 225 FPS at 1080p, 165 FPS at 1440p, and 106 FPS at 4K. This consistent drop across presets suggests the GPU becomes the primary bottleneck as resolution increases.

Similar Performance Alternatives
The CPU's nearest rivals, based on average benchmark scores, include the AMD EPYC 7313P (0.2% faster), Intel Xeon Phi 7290 (0.3% slower), Intel Xeon 634 (0.6% faster), and Intel Core i7-14700F (0.6% slower). These processors have average scores within 0.6% of the Ryzen 9 7900X, meaning they would deliver nearly identical frame rates in Lockdown Protocol. The Ryzen 9 7900X's 12 cores and 24 threads, combined with a boost clock of 5.60 GHz, provide ample headroom for the game's CPU demands.
For the GPU, the nearest rivals are the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Mobile (0.1% faster), AMD Radeon RX 6800 (0.5% slower), NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2080 Ti (0.5% faster), and AMD Radeon RX 6700 (1.6% slower). These GPUs have average benchmark scores within 1.6% of the RTX 3070 Ti. In practice, swapping to any of these would yield FPS numbers very close to those measured here. The RTX 3070 Ti's 8 GB of GDDR6X memory and 608.3 GB/s bandwidth are sufficient for the game's demands at 1080p and 1440p, but the 4K Ultra preset's 49 FPS average suggests a memory or compute limitation that these rivals would also face.
The Verdict
This PC can run Lockdown Protocol at 1080p and 1440p with all presets, including Ultra, maintaining average FPS well above the 60 FPS threshold. At 4K, the system is playable on High, Low, and Medium, but Ultra falls short with an average of 49 FPS. The verdict by resolution is clear:
- 3840x2160: Playable on High (66 FPS), Low (106 FPS), and Medium (76 FPS). Ultra is not playable.
- 2560x1440: Playable on all presets, with Ultra at 77 FPS.
- 1920x1080: Playable on all presets, with Ultra at 105 FPS.
For users targeting 60 FPS, the best settings are High at 4K, Ultra at 1440p, and Ultra at 1080p. The system comfortably handles the game at mainstream resolutions, and only the most demanding 4K Ultra preset requires a compromise.
Best Settings per Resolution
The most demanding preset that stays at or above 60 FPS at each resolution is as follows:
- 3840x2160: High, with an average of 66 FPS. Medium (76 FPS) and Low (106 FPS) are also playable, but High offers the highest quality while still clearing the threshold.
- 2560x1440: Ultra, with an average of 77 FPS. This is the maximum quality preset available, and it remains comfortably above 60 FPS.
- 1920x1080: Ultra, with an average of 105 FPS. The system has ample headroom at this resolution, allowing the highest settings without any concern.
These settings represent the optimal balance between visual fidelity and smooth gameplay for this specific hardware combination.
How This Combo Ranks
Among 3714 tested combinations, this CPU-GPU pairing ranks 1324th. That places it in the 64th percentile of all tested systems, meaning it outperforms roughly 64% of configurations. The rank reflects the strong CPU (91st percentile) and solid GPU (75th percentile) working together. While not a top-tier enthusiast setup, it is a capable mid-to-upper range combination that handles modern FPS titles like Lockdown Protocol well at 1080p and 1440p.
The ranking also highlights that the GPU is the more limiting factor. The CPU's high multi-threaded performance (e.g., Cinebench R23 multicore score of 29300) and single-thread speed (3DMark single thread score of 1093) are more than sufficient for the game's logic and physics. The GPU, with a PassMark G3D score of 23356, determines the frame rate ceiling at higher resolutions and presets.
CPU and GPU Roles
The data reveals a clear division of labor. At 1080p Low, the system reaches 225 FPS, indicating that the CPU can feed the GPU with frames far beyond typical display refresh rates. The Ryzen 9 7900X's 12 cores and 24 threads, along with a boost clock of 5.60 GHz, provide ample processing power for the game's simulation and AI. Even at 1080p Ultra, the average of 105 FPS shows that the CPU is not a bottleneck at this resolution.
As resolution increases, the GPU becomes the dominant factor. From 1080p Ultra to 1440p Ultra, the average FPS drops from 105 to 77, a 27% reduction. From 1440p Ultra to 4K Ultra, it drops further to 49, a 36% reduction. This accelerating decline is typical of GPU-bound scenarios, where the rendering load grows faster than the CPU's role. The RTX 3070 Ti's 8 GB of GDDR6X memory and 256-bit bus width are sufficient for 1080p and 1440p, but the 4K Ultra preset's 49 FPS average suggests the GPU's compute and memory bandwidth are stretched.
At lower settings, the CPU's influence is more visible. For example, at 4K Low, the average is 106 FPS, which is still high, but the drop from 1080p Low (225 FPS) to 4K Low (106 FPS) is 53%. This indicates that even at low settings, the GPU's pixel throughput limits performance at higher resolutions. The CPU's benchmark scores, such as the 3DMark max threads score of 12536, show it can handle high frame rates, but the game's rendering pipeline is ultimately constrained by the GPU.
In summary, the Ryzen 9 7900X provides a strong foundation, but the RTX 3070 Ti is the deciding factor for Lockdown Protocol's performance. At 1080p and 1440p, the GPU is sufficient for high-quality play. At 4K, users must accept High settings or lower to maintain 60 FPS, as the GPU cannot sustain Ultra. The CPU's headroom suggests that a more powerful GPU would unlock higher frame rates at 4K, but with the current pairing, the system delivers a solid experience at mainstream resolutions.
