Lockdown Protocol

The Intel Core i5-11400F and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER combination delivers a remarkably consistent high-refresh-rate experience in Lockdown Protocol, with the data showing that every settings preset at every tested resolution clears the 60 FPS playability threshold. The pairing places 655th out of 3714 tested combos in the database, placing it in the top 18% of all configurations for this title, and the performance headroom is substantial enough that even the most demanding Ultra preset at 4K remains playable.

Similar Performance Alternatives

The CPU and GPU each sit near comparable hardware in the database, which helps contextualize their behavior in Lockdown Protocol. The Intel Core i5-11400F has an average benchmark score of 17177, placing it in the 71st percentile of all CPUs. Its closest rival is the AMD EPYC 7H12, which scores 17120, a delta of only 0.3%. The Intel Core i5-12450H sits just ahead with a score of 17239, representing a 0.4% advantage over the i5-11400F. The AMD Ryzen 3 PRO 8300G scores 17278, 0.6% higher, while the Intel Core Ultra 7 164U trails slightly at 17074, which is 0.6% lower. These deltas are all within a single percentage point, meaning any of these processors would produce nearly identical frame pacing in CPU-bound scenarios within this game.

On the graphics side, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER achieves an average benchmark score of 43223, placing it in the 83rd percentile of all GPUs. The nearest rival is the NVIDIA Quadro M6000 24 GB with a score of 43262, a delta of just 0.1% in favor of the Quadro. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5050 Mobile matches almost exactly at 43268, also 0.1% ahead. The NVIDIA Quadro M6000 scores 43301, 0.2% higher, and the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 Mobile leads the group at 43667, a 1% advantage. The RTX 4070 SUPER is effectively interchangeable with these four cards in terms of raw compute for this title, so users upgrading from any of them should expect similar frame rates.

CPU and GPU Roles

The performance scaling across resolutions and presets in Lockdown Protocol reveals a workload that leans heavily on the GPU at higher settings but shows meaningful CPU involvement at lower presets. At 1080p Low, the combo produces 232.2 FPS, while dropping to 4K Low yields 138.8 FPS, a 40% reduction that indicates the graphics card becomes the limiting factor as pixel count rises. The gap narrows considerably at Ultra settings: 137.4 FPS at 1080p versus 66.9 FPS at 4K, a 51% drop that reinforces the GPU-bound nature of the highest preset.

The settings scaling within each resolution tells a similar story. At 1080p, moving from Low to Medium reduces average FPS by 24.2 frames, a 10% hit, while Medium to High costs another 29 frames, a 14% reduction. The jump from High to Ultra is the most punishing at 1080p, dropping from 179 FPS to 137.4 FPS, a 23% penalty. At 1440p, the pattern repeats: Low delivers 212.2 FPS, Medium drops to 148.3 FPS, High to 129.4 FPS, and Ultra to exactly 100 FPS. The 4K results show the steepest relative declines, with Low at 138.8 FPS, Medium at 101 FPS, High at 86.2 FPS, and Ultra at 66.9 FPS. These figures indicate that the RTX 4070 SUPER handles the majority of the rendering load, while the i5-11400F provides sufficient single-thread throughput to avoid becoming a bottleneck even at the lower resolution and preset combinations where frame rates exceed 200 FPS.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The recorded data provides average frame rates for each resolution and preset combination, with no minimum or maximum frame time data captured. At 1920x1080, the Low preset achieves 232.2 FPS, which is the highest average recorded for this combo. Medium at 1080p delivers 208 FPS, High produces 179 FPS, and Ultra drops to 137.4 FPS. The spread from Low to Ultra at 1080p spans 94.8 FPS, showing that settings have a pronounced effect even at the lowest resolution.

Moving to 2560x1440, the Low preset still delivers a triple-digit average of 212.2 FPS. Medium at 1440p records 148.3 FPS, High reaches 129.4 FPS, and Ultra lands at exactly 100 FPS. The difference between Low and Ultra at this resolution is 112.2 FPS, a wider gap than at 1080p, which reflects the increased GPU workload at higher pixel counts.

At 3840x2160, the Low preset averages 138.8 FPS, which is still well above the 60 FPS threshold. Medium at 4K drops to 101 FPS, High falls to 86.2 FPS, and Ultra bottoms out at 66.9 FPS. The total spread at 4K is 71.9 FPS from Low to Ultra, and notably, even the most demanding configuration remains nearly 7 FPS above the playability threshold. Every combination in the dataset clears 60 FPS, and the only preset that comes close to the threshold is 4K Ultra at 66.9 FPS.

How This Combo Ranks

In the database rankings for Lockdown Protocol, this Intel and NVIDIA pairing holds the 655th position out of 3714 tested combinations. That places it in the 82nd percentile overall, meaning roughly 82% of all tested combos fall below it in performance. The ranking reflects a system that is firmly in the upper tier for this game, with enough headroom to handle the most demanding settings at high resolutions. The CPU's 71st percentile standing and the GPU's 83rd percentile standing combine to create a balanced platform where neither component drastically undershoots the other. The GPU is the stronger half of the pairing, which aligns with the observed frame rates that scale more aggressively with resolution changes than with preset changes. The rank of 655 also suggests that while this combo is not at the absolute top of the leaderboard, it outpaces the vast majority of systems, and the measured frame rates confirm that the ranking is earned through actual gameplay performance rather than synthetic metrics alone.

The Verdict

The verdict data is unambiguous: this PC can run Lockdown Protocol at every resolution and preset tested. At 3840x2160, all four settings are marked as playable, with the best settings being Ultra at an average of 66.9 FPS. At 2560x1440, all settings are also playable, and Ultra achieves 100 FPS. At 1920x1080, the same pattern holds, with Ultra delivering 137.4 FPS. No resolution or preset combination falls below the 60 FPS threshold, and the lowest recorded average across the entire dataset is 66.9 FPS at 4K Ultra. This means users with a 60 Hz display can enable maximum settings at any resolution, while those with high-refresh-rate monitors can push well beyond 100 FPS at 1440p or 1080p with the higher presets. The i5-11400F provides enough processing power to keep the RTX 4070 SUPER fed, and the GPU has enough headroom to maintain playable frame rates even in the most demanding scenario tested.

Best Settings per Resolution

At 3840x2160, the most demanding preset that stays at or above 60 FPS is Ultra, which averages 66.9 FPS. This is the only resolution where the best settings approach the threshold, but it still clears it comfortably. For users prioritizing maximum visual quality at 4K, Ultra is viable, though the 66.9 FPS average leaves less margin for dips during intense combat sequences.

At 2560x1440, the best settings are also Ultra, with an average of 100 FPS. This provides a 40 FPS buffer above the playability threshold, making it a strong choice for high-refresh-rate 1440p monitors. The 100 FPS average suggests that even with demanding scenes, the frame rate should remain well within a smooth range.

At 1920x1080, Ultra delivers 137.4 FPS, which is the best settings designation for this resolution. This leaves more than 77 FPS of headroom above the 60 FPS threshold, making it suitable for 144 Hz displays and providing enough performance for competitive play. Across all three resolutions, the recommendation is consistent: enable Ultra settings and enjoy frame rates that range from 66.9 FPS at 4K to 137.4 FPS at 1080p, with no need to compromise on visual fidelity.
