FAQ

Q: Can this system run Lockdown Protocol at 4K resolution?

A: Yes, at 3840x2160 the combination achieves playable frame rates on High, Medium, and Low settings. High settings produce an average of 66 FPS, Medium averages 76 FPS, and Low reaches 106 FPS. Ultra settings fall below the 60 FPS threshold at 49 FPS average.

Q: What is the best playable setting at 1440p?

A: At 2560x1440, all four settings — Low, Medium, High, and Ultra — are playable. The most demanding playable preset is Ultra, which delivers an average of 77 FPS. Medium settings average 117 FPS, High averages 102 FPS, and Low reaches 165 FPS.

Q: How does the RTX 3070 Ti compare to the RX 6800?

A: The AMD Radeon RX 6800 has an average benchmark score of 30095, which is 0.5% higher than the RTX 3070 Ti's score of 29945. In game performance, the difference would be negligible, typically less than 1 FPS in Lockdown Protocol.

Q: Is the Core i7-12700K significantly faster than its rivals?

A: No. The nearest rival, the Intel Core i5-13600T, scores 35305 versus the 12700K's 35287 — a 0.1% difference. The i7-12700KF (35365) is 0.2% behind, and the i7-13700T (35403) is 0.3% behind. These are essentially identical performance levels.

Q: What frame rates can I expect at 1080p with Ultra settings?

A: At 1920x1080 with Ultra settings, the system averages 105 FPS. This is well above the 60 FPS playability threshold. Medium settings average 160 FPS, High averages 139 FPS, and Low reaches 225 FPS.

Q: Does the system maintain playable frame rates in demanding 4K scenarios?

A: The 4K Medium preset shows a minimum of 64 FPS and a maximum of 87 FPS, with an average of 76 FPS. This means even during heavy scenes, the frame rate stays above the 60 FPS threshold. The 4K High and Low presets do not have min/max data recorded, but their averages of 66 FPS and 106 FPS respectively indicate comfortable margins.

How This Combo Ranks

This specific CPU-GPU pairing ranks 1324 out of 3714 tested combinations in Lockdown Protocol. That places it in the 64th percentile of all tested systems — solidly in the upper third of the database. The ranking reflects a balanced pairing where the CPU's 84th percentile standing and the GPU's 75th percentile standing combine to produce a system that handles the game comfortably at most resolutions.

The rank of 1324 out of 3714 means roughly 64% of tested combos are slower, while 36% are faster. Given that this system achieves 60+ FPS at 4K High settings, the ranking makes sense: systems ranked above it likely excel at higher refresh rates or more demanding 4K presets, while systems below it struggle to maintain playable frame rates at higher resolutions.

What stands out is the consistency across resolutions. The combo does not fall off a cliff at higher resolutions — it degrades gracefully from 105 FPS average at 1080p Ultra to 77 FPS at 1440p Ultra to 66 FPS at 4K High. This linear scaling pattern is characteristic of a balanced system where neither component is the bottleneck at any tested resolution.

The Verdict

Lockdown Protocol is thoroughly playable on this system. The data confirms 60 FPS or better at every resolution when using appropriate settings. At 3840x2160, the highest playable preset is High with an average of 66 FPS — a comfortable margin above the 60 FPS threshold. At 2560x1440, the system can run Ultra settings at 77 FPS average. At 1920x1080, Ultra settings deliver 105 FPS average.

The 4K Ultra preset is the only configuration that fails to clear the 60 FPS bar, averaging 49 FPS. This single miss means the system cannot run maximum settings at 4K, but it can run every other preset at every resolution.

The verdict is straightforward: this PC runs Lockdown Protocol with high frame rates across the board. For 4K users, High settings are the optimal balance of visual quality and performance. For 1440p and 1080p users, there is no compromise needed — Ultra settings exceed 60 FPS with room to spare.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the system delivers its strongest results. Low settings produce an average of 225 FPS. Medium settings average 160 FPS with a minimum of 136 FPS and a maximum of 184 FPS. High settings average 139 FPS. Ultra settings average 105 FPS. Every preset at 1080p exceeds the 60 FPS threshold by a wide margin, with even the lowest recorded minimum (136 FPS on Medium) being more than double the playability threshold.

At 2560x1440, performance remains strong. Low settings average 165 FPS. Medium settings average 117 FPS with a minimum of 99 FPS and a maximum of 135 FPS. High settings average 102 FPS. Ultra settings average 77 FPS. The minimum recorded frame rate at 1440p is 99 FPS on Medium settings, which is well above the 60 FPS threshold. No preset at this resolution drops below playable levels.

At 3840x2160, the system starts to show its limits. Low settings average 106 FPS. Medium settings average 76 FPS with a minimum of 64 FPS and a maximum of 87 FPS. High settings average 66 FPS. Ultra settings drop to 49 FPS average. The 4K Medium preset maintains a minimum of 64 FPS, just above the 60 FPS threshold. The 4K High preset averages 66 FPS, but no min/max data is recorded for it. The 4K Ultra preset falls short of playability.

Best Settings per Resolution

At 3840x2160, the most demanding preset that stays at or above 60 FPS is High, with an average of 66 FPS. Ultra is not playable at this resolution, averaging 49 FPS. Medium averages 76 FPS and Low averages 106 FPS, but High offers the best visual quality while maintaining playability. The 4K Medium preset shows a minimum of 64 FPS, indicating that even in demanding scenes, the frame rate stays above the threshold.

At 2560x1440, the best playable preset is Ultra, averaging 77 FPS. This is a full 17 FPS above the 60 FPS threshold, providing a comfortable buffer. Medium averages 117 FPS, High averages 102 FPS, and Low averages 165 FPS. Since Ultra is the highest quality setting available and it clears the threshold by a substantial margin, it is the recommended choice at this resolution.

At 1920x1080, the best playable preset is Ultra, averaging 105 FPS. This is 45 FPS above the playability threshold, leaving significant headroom. Medium averages 160 FPS, High averages 139 FPS, and Low averages 225 FPS. Ultra at 1080p is not only playable but delivers a high-refresh-rate experience suitable for competitive play.

The pattern is clear: this system's sweet spot is 1440p Ultra, where it delivers 77 FPS average with all settings maxed. At 1080p, it has enough performance for high refresh rate displays. At 4K, users must step down from Ultra to High, but the game remains entirely playable.
