Performance Analysis: Lockdown Protocol on Your System
The AMD Ryzen 9 8945HX and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti combination delivers a strong performance profile for Lockdown Protocol. The CPU sits at the 95th percentile among all tested processors, while the GPU ranks at the 86th percentile. The database records this combo at rank 1424 out of 3714 tested systems. The RTX 5070 Ti carries a launch MSRP of 749 USD. At 1080p, the system easily exceeds the 60 FPS threshold on every preset; at 1440p, Ultra preset holds 75 FPS; at 4K, the best playable preset is High with 64 FPS.
Best Settings per Resolution
At 3840x2160, the most demanding preset that remains at or above 60 FPS is High, with an average of 64 FPS. Medium also clears the threshold at 74 FPS, but High is the higher visual quality option. Low reaches 104 FPS, but that is not the most demanding playable preset. Ultra drops to 48 FPS, below the playable threshold.
At 2560x1440, all four presets are playable. The most demanding preset that stays above 60 FPS is Ultra, with an average of 75 FPS. High averages 100 FPS, Medium 114 FPS, and Low 160 FPS.
At 1920x1080, Ultra is the best choice, delivering an average of 102 FPS. High, Medium, and Low all exceed 60 FPS as well, with 136, 155, and 219 FPS respectively.
Similar Performance Alternatives
The CPU's nearest rivals in the database are the Intel Core Ultra 9 285HX, the AMD EPYC Embedded 8224P, the AMD Ryzen Threadripper PRO 9945WX, and the AMD Ryzen 9 9950X3D. The Ryzen 9 8945HX's average benchmark score of 76212 is within 0.1% of the Intel Core Ultra 9 285HX (76155), and within 0.6% of the Ryzen 9 9950X3D (75779). The EPYC and Threadripper are 0.4% ahead and behind respectively. These small deltas indicate that any of these CPUs would yield nearly identical frame rates in CPU-bound scenarios.
On the GPU side, the RTX 5070 Ti's average score of 49957 is nearly identical to the AMD Radeon RX Vega 64 (50001, -0.1%) and the Intel Arc A550M (49737, +0.4%). It is 2% behind the RX 6900 XT (50951) and 3.1% ahead of the RX 6800 XT (48477). Systems using those GPUs with a similarly ranked CPU would likely produce comparable frame rates in Lockdown Protocol, though the exact results depend on the full system configuration and driver behavior.
Measured FPS Breakdown
The following table lists all recorded average frame rates, with minimum and maximum values where the database captured them (for Medium settings only).
| Resolution | Settings | Avg FPS | Min FPS | Max FPS |
|------------|----------|---------|---------|---------|
| 3840x2160 | High | 64 | - | - |
| 3840x2160 | Low | 104 | - | - |
| 3840x2160 | Medium | 74 | 63 | 85 |
| 3840x2160 | Ultra | 48 | - | - |
| 2560x1440 | High | 100 | - | - |
| 2560x1440 | Low | 160 | - | - |
| 2560x1440 | Medium | 114 | 97 | 131 |
| 2560x1440 | Ultra | 75 | - | - |
| 1920x1080 | High | 136 | - | - |
| 1920x1080 | Low | 219 | - | - |
| 1920x1080 | Medium | 155 | 132 | 179 |
| 1920x1080 | Ultra | 102 | - | - |
The Medium preset is the only one with recorded min/max values, and they show a tight spread at 1080p (132 to 179) and a wider spread at 4K (63 to 85). The 4K Medium range indicates that even within a single run, frame pacing can vary noticeably, though the average remains playable.
The Verdict
According to the verdict data, this PC can run Lockdown Protocol at 60 FPS or higher at all three tested resolutions, but with limits on preset selection at 4K. At 3840x2160, High, Medium, and Low are playable; Ultra is not, averaging 48 FPS. The best playable preset at 4K is High with 64 FPS. At 2560x1440, all presets including Ultra are playable, with Ultra averaging 75 FPS. At 1920x1080, Ultra is playable at 102 FPS, and even the most demanding preset remains far above the threshold.
The data confirms that the system is capable of a smooth experience across all resolutions, provided the user selects the appropriate preset. For 4K, High is the maximum quality setting that maintains a playable frame rate. At 1440p and 1080p, the user can freely choose the highest quality without compromising the 60 FPS target.
CPU and GPU Roles
The recorded frame rates show how the balance between CPU and GPU shifts with resolution and preset. At 1080p, the system reaches 219 FPS on Low, which is the highest value in the dataset. This indicates that the CPU, with its 95th percentile rank, is capable of feeding the GPU at very high frame rates. As resolution increases to 1440p and 4K, the average FPS on Low drops to 160 and 104 respectively, demonstrating that the GPU becomes the limiting factor as pixel count grows.
The impact of graphics settings also scales with resolution. At 1080p, the difference between Low and Ultra is 117 FPS (219 vs 102). At 1440p, that difference is 85 FPS (160 vs 75). At 4K, the difference narrows to 56 FPS (104 vs 48). This trend shows that at lower resolutions, the GPU has more headroom to be stressed by higher presets, while at 4K the resolution itself dominates the performance cost. The CPU's single-thread and multi-thread scores (Cinebench R23 single 6030, multi 42713) are high, but the game's frame rate scaling points to the GPU as the primary constraint at higher resolutions. The CPU still matters at 1080p, where the system can push beyond 200 FPS on Low, a result that would be impossible with a weaker processor.

How This Combo Ranks
The combination of the AMD Ryzen 9 8945HX and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti achieves rank 1424 out of 3714 in the database's Lockdown Protocol test suite. This places it in the upper portion of all tested systems, ahead of the majority of combinations. The CPU's 95th percentile and GPU's 86th percentile individually contribute to this result, but the game's performance scaling shows that the GPU is the more significant factor at higher resolutions. At 1080p, the system is capable of very high frame rates, while at 4K the GPU's limits appear at Ultra settings. Overall, this combo is a strong match for the game, with the only compromise being the 4K Ultra preset, which falls below the 60 FPS playability threshold.
