Performance Analysis: Lockdown Protocol on Your System
The Intel Core i7-12700KF paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti clears the 60 FPS playability threshold in Lockdown Protocol at every resolution and preset tested. At 4K Ultra the average is 69 FPS, at 1440p Ultra it is 107 FPS, and at 1080p Ultra it reaches 146 FPS. The combination ranks 341st out of 3,714 tested configurations, placing it in the upper tier of systems for this title.
Measured FPS Breakdown
At 3840x2160, the data shows an average of 92 FPS on High, 148 on Low, 105 on Medium (with a minimum of 90 and maximum of 121), and 69 on Ultra. The gap between Low and Ultra is 79 FPS, indicating that the Ultra preset imposes a substantial load. The step from Low to Medium costs 43 FPS, while the step from Medium to High is only 13 FPS, and from High to Ultra another 23 FPS. Even at Ultra, the average stays above 60, so 4K is fully playable. The minimum FPS at Medium is 90, which is well above the playable threshold.
At 2560x1440, High averages 142 FPS, Low 230, Medium 163 (min 139, max 188), and Ultra 107. The drop from Low to Medium is 67 FPS, from Medium to High is 21 FPS, and from High to Ultra is 35 FPS. The Ultra preset still delivers 107 FPS, leaving a comfortable margin above 60. The minimum at Medium is 139 FPS, so even the worst-case frame times are smooth.
At 1920x1080, High averages 194 FPS, Low 313, Medium 223 (min 189, max 256), and Ultra 146. The Low preset exceeds 300 FPS, demonstrating the CPU's ability to feed high frame rates at lower resolutions. The scaling from Low to Medium is 90 FPS, from Medium to High is 29 FPS, and from High to Ultra is 48 FPS. The minimum at Medium is 189 FPS, which is far above the 60 FPS threshold. Across all resolutions, the Medium preset consistently shows the largest single-step drop from Low, suggesting that Medium introduces significant visual effects that tax the GPU.
CPU and GPU Roles
Benchmark results indicate that the CPU and GPU both contribute significantly, but their relative importance shifts with resolution. At 1080p Low, the system produces 313 FPS, a figure that suggests the CPU's 12 cores and 20 threads, along with its strong single-thread performance (Geekbench single-core 2255), are not the limiting factor. As resolution increases to 1440p and 4K, the average FPS at Ultra drops from 146 to 107 to 69, a scaling pattern typical of GPU-bound workloads. The GPU's 16 GB of GDDR7 memory and 896.0 GB/s bandwidth provide ample headroom for high-resolution textures, while its 43.94 TFLOPS FP32 compute handles the rendering load. The CPU's multi-threaded capability (Cinebench R23 multi-core 28838) ensures that even at lower resolutions, where the CPU must prepare more frames per second, the system does not bottleneck. The launch MSRP for the CPU is $384; the GPU's launch MSRP is 749 USD.
The data also shows that the CPU's average benchmark score (35,365) places it in the 85th percentile of all CPUs, while the GPU's average score (49,957) is in the 86th percentile of all GPUs. This balanced pairing means that neither component is likely to be a severe bottleneck in Lockdown Protocol. At 1080p, the CPU's high single-thread score (Geekbench 2255) and the GPU's ability to push 313 FPS on Low indicate that the CPU can keep up with the GPU's output. At 4K, the GPU's compute and memory bandwidth become the primary drivers, as evidenced by the 77 FPS drop from 1080p Ultra to 4K Ultra. The CPU's 12 cores and 20 threads are more than sufficient for the game's threading demands, and the GPU's 16 GB VRAM ensures that high-resolution textures do not cause memory pressure.
FAQ
Q: Can this system run Lockdown Protocol at 4K Ultra?
A: Yes, the average FPS at 3840x2160 Ultra is 69, which is above the 60 FPS playable threshold.
Q: What is the best settings preset for 1440p?
A: Ultra, with an average of 107 FPS, is the most demanding preset that stays above 60 FPS.
Q: How does the combo rank among tested systems?
A: It ranks 341st out of 3,714 combinations, placing it in the top tier.
Q: What are the minimum FPS values at Medium settings?
A: At 4K Medium the minimum is 90 FPS, at 1440p Medium it is 139 FPS, and at 1080p Medium it is 189 FPS.
Q: Is the CPU or GPU more important at 1080p?
A: At 1080p Low, the system reaches 313 FPS, indicating the CPU can drive very high frame rates; the GPU becomes more influential as resolution increases.
Q: What similar hardware would perform comparably?
A: For the CPU, the Intel Core i7-13700T, i5-13600T, Core 5 213PE, and i7-12700K have average benchmark scores within 0.2% of the i7-12700KF. For the GPU, the AMD Radeon RX Vega 64, Intel Arc A550M, RX 6900 XT, and RX 6800 XT are within 3.1% of the RTX 5070 Ti's average score.
Similar Performance Alternatives
Based on average benchmark scores, the Intel Core i7-12700KF is closely matched by the Intel Core i7-13700T (0.1% slower), Intel Core i5-13600T (0.2% faster), Intel Core 5 213PE (0.2% slower), and Intel Core i7-12700K (0.2% faster). A system using any of these CPUs would deliver nearly identical frame rates in Lockdown Protocol. The i7-12700K, in particular, is essentially the same chip with a slightly different power profile, so the performance delta is negligible.
On the GPU side, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti's nearest rivals are the AMD Radeon RX Vega 64 (0.1% slower), Intel Arc A550M (0.4% faster), AMD Radeon RX 6900 XT (2% faster), and AMD Radeon RX 6800 XT (3.1% slower). Swapping to the RX 6900 XT could yield slightly higher FPS, while the RX 6800 XT would be a small step down. All of these alternatives would keep the game comfortably above 60 FPS at the tested settings, though the exact frame rates would vary by a few percent. For players considering a similar build, any of these CPU or GPU options would provide a comparable experience in Lockdown Protocol.
Best Settings per Resolution
At 3840x2160, the most demanding preset that stays at or above 60 FPS is Ultra, with an average of 69 FPS. At 2560x1440, Ultra averages 107 FPS. At 1920x1080, Ultra averages 146 FPS. In all cases, Ultra is the highest preset available and it clears the 60 FPS threshold. The data shows that even the most demanding settings are playable at every resolution, so there is no need to compromise on visual quality. The minimum FPS at Medium settings (90 at 4K, 139 at 1440p, 189 at 1080p) further confirms that the system maintains smooth performance even in demanding scenes.
The Verdict
The data confirms that the Intel Core i7-12700KF and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti can run Lockdown Protocol at every resolution and preset tested. The verdict by resolution is clear: at 3840x2160, all presets (Low, Medium, High, Ultra) are playable, with Ultra averaging 69 FPS. At 2560x1440, all presets are playable, with Ultra at 107 FPS. At 1920x1080, all presets are playable, with Ultra at 146 FPS. The combination ranks 341st out of 3,714 tested configurations, indicating a high level of performance. For players seeking the best visual quality, Ultra settings are recommended at all resolutions, as they remain above the 60 FPS playability threshold. This system is fully capable of delivering a smooth and visually rich experience in Lockdown Protocol.
