# Intel Core i7-14700KF + AMD Radeon RX 6700 XT: Lockdown Protocol Benchmark Analysis
The Intel Core i7-14700KF and AMD Radeon RX 6700 XT combination presents a compelling mid-to-high-range desktop platform. This analysis examines its performance in Lockdown Protocol, a title known for its claustrophobic environments and intense enemy AI. The data indicates a system capable of delivering a smooth experience at 1440p, with 4K gaming requiring selective settings.
Measured FPS Breakdown
The measured FPS data reveals a clear performance hierarchy across resolutions and presets. The system's 4K performance shows the GPU is the limiting factor, while at lower resolutions, the CPU's headroom becomes apparent.
At 4K (3840x2160), the playable presets are Low and Medium. The Low preset averages 91.8 FPS, which is an excellent margin over the 60 FPS threshold. The Medium preset averages 62.8 FPS, still a playable and stable experience, but with a significantly reduced safety margin. Pushing to Ultra yields an average of 41.9 FPS, which is below the playable threshold, indicating that the GPU is fully saturated at this setting.
At 1440p (2560x1440), the headroom increases substantially. The High preset averages 88.1 FPS, providing a comfortable cushion. Low averages 138.3 FPS, and Medium sits at 99 FPS. The Ultra preset averages 66 FPS, which is the best playable setting here, exactly 6 FPS above the threshold with some headroom for demanding scenes.
At 1080p (1920x1080), the CPU and GPU combo has ample resources. Ultra preset averages 91.5 FPS, making it the clear best choice for maximum visual fidelity. High averages 118.2 FPS, Medium averages 137.5 FPS, and Low averages 190.9 FPS. All presets at this resolution are comfortably above the playability threshold.
How This Combo Ranks
In the benchmark database, this specific CPU+GPU pairing achieves a combo rank of 1940 out of 3714 tested configurations. This places it in the upper-half of tested combos for this game, but not at the top tier. The data shows the system is well-balanced, but it is not an extreme performer.
The measured average benchmark score for this combo is 70,163. This places the system in the 94th percentile for all tested CPUs, indicating that the Core i7-14700KF is a very strong processor. However, the GPU's 27,425 average benchmark score puts it in the 72nd percentile among tested GPUs, which is a solid mid-high tier placement for the Radeon RX 6700 XT.
The CPU's own performance is the star here. The 20-core/28-thread processor is in the 94th percentile of all tested CPUs, sitting just 0.2% behind the top rival, the AMD Ryzen 7 9700F. The GPU, while capable, is in the 72nd percentile, and is the bottleneck at higher resolutions. This is evidenced by the FPS scaling: the system is CPU-bound at 1080p (all presets >60 FPS) but becomes GPU-bound at 4K, where the Ultra preset drops below 60 FPS.
CPU and GPU Roles
At 1080p, the CPU is the primary driver. The scaling data is compelling: at High settings, the system is at 118.2 FPS, and even at the demanding Ultra preset it maintains 91.5 FPS. This is a CPU-heavy scenario. The Core i7's strong single-thread and multi-thread performance keeps the frame render pipeline fully fed, with the RX 6700 XT easily keeping pace.
At 1440p, the balance begins to shift toward the GPU, but the CPU still holds its own. The Ultra preset averages 66 FPS, which is respectable. The GPU's 2560 shading units and 40 ray accelerators are sufficient for this resolution, but the CPU's 28 threads provide enough draw-call processing headroom. This is a balanced configuration.
At 4K, the GPU becomes the limiting component. The transition from 1440p to 4K shows a steep performance cliff at High settings (88.5 to 53.5 FPS). The RX 6700 XT's 13.21 TFLOPS of FP32 throughput is not enough to sustain the 3,840x2,160 pixel count for High and Ultra settings. The CPU, however, still has headroom: the difference between Low (91.8) and Medium (62.8) is 29 FPS, a GPU-driven drop, not a CPU-driven one.
Similar Performance Alternatives
The data indicates the AMD Ryzen 7 9700F is the closest CPU rival, with an average score of 69,996 — just 0.2% behind the Core i7-14700KF. The AMD Ryzen 9 7940HX (avg. 69,875) and AMD Ryzen 9 7950X (avg. 69,515) are the next nearest competitors. All three of these alternatives would deliver virtually indistinguishable CPU-bound performance in Lockdown Protocol. The Intel Core Ultra 7 265K is the only Intel rival, scoring 70,879, which is 1% above the 14700KF.
On the GPU side, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Mobile matches the RX 6700 XT almost exactly, with a score of 27,435 (0% delta). The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3090 is 0.5% slower, and the AMD Radeon Pro Vega 20 is 1.5% faster. All three will perform within a narrow band of the RX 6700 XT's capabilities.
Best Settings per Resolution
3840x2160: The Medium preset is the best playable setting, averaging 62.8 FPS. It maintains a full 60 FPS floor with a small but real safety margin. The Low setting at 91.8 FPS offers more headroom but with a visible quality loss. Ultra cannot hold 60 FPS (41.9) and should be avoided.
2560x1440: Ultra is the recommended setting, averaging 66 FPS, and is the only preset that delivers a stable 60+ experience. High at 88.1 FPS is also viable if you prefer more headroom, but Ultra provides the best visual quality while staying above the threshold.
1920x1080: The Ultra preset is the best choice, averaging 91.5 FPS. This is a CPU-bound scenario, and all presets are well above the playable threshold. Ultra provides maximum visual fidelity and keeps the framerate high.
FAQ
*Q: Can this system run Lockdown Protocol at 4K with High settings?*
A: No. At 4K High, the system averages 53.5 FPS, which dips below the 60 FPS threshold. Use Medium (62.8 FPS) for a stable 60 FPS experience.
Q: Is the CPU or GPU more important at 1440p?
A: The data shows this is a balanced scenario. The CPU is in the 94th percentile and the GPU in the 72nd. At 2560x1440, the Ultra preset averages 66 FPS, which is exactly a 10% drop from the 1080p Ultra score, indicating a well-balanced pairing.
Q: What if I want the best competitive performance at 1080p?
A: Use the Ultra preset. It yields 91.5 FPS average, which is roughly 35% higher than the 4K Medium result. This is a CPU-bound scenario; the 20-core i7-14700KF is the dominant component.
Q: Is the power draw a concern for this system?
A: The components have a combined thermal design power of 125 W (CPU) and 230 W (GPU), with a suggested PSU of 550 W for the GPU. The system uses a dual-slot cooler and has 1x 6-pin + 1x 8-pin power connectors. The CPU memory support includes DDR4 and DDR5, dual-channel, with ECC support for stability.
The Verdict
*Yes, the Intel Core i7-14700KF and the AMD Radeon RX 6700 XT can run Lockdown Protocol. The data clearly shows it. At 2560x1440, the Ultra preset sustains an average of 66 FPS, keeping the experience smooth and visually rich. For 4K, use the Medium preset which delivers 62.8 FPS. This is a 1080p powerhouse, where the Ultra preset achieves 91.5 FPS*. This system is a balanced pairing, though the CPU is the hero at lower resolutions and the GPU is the constraint at 4K.
