Lockdown Protocol

Intel Core Ultra 5 135H paired with NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Mobile represents a mobile gaming configuration built around Intel's Meteor Lake architecture and NVIDIA's Ada Lovelace generation. The CPU, with its 14 cores and 18 threads, delivers a Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 11875.5 and a single-core score of 1700, placing it at the 81st percentile among all CPUs tested. The GPU, featuring 4608 shading units and 8 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 128-bit bus, achieves a Passmark G3D score of 19587 and sits at the 73rd percentile among all GPUs. The benchmark database currently does not include measured frame rate data for this specific combination in Lockdown Protocol, nor does it provide resolution-specific verdicts, so the analysis below relies on the synthetic benchmark scores and comparative positioning against rival components.

FAQ

Q: Is the Intel Core Ultra 5 135H a competitive CPU for gaming?

A: Yes, based on synthetic benchmarks. The CPU's average benchmark score of 29093 places it essentially on par with the AMD Ryzen 7 5800X (29123, delta -0.1%) and the Intel Core i5-13500HX (29270, delta -0.6%). It is marginally ahead of the AMD Ryzen 5 5600XT (28940, delta +0.5%). The 81st percentile ranking versus all CPUs confirms it outperforms the majority of processors in the database.

Q: How does the RTX 4070 Mobile compare to desktop GPUs in raw compute?

A: The GPU's average benchmark score of 27435 is virtually identical to the AMD Radeon RX 6700 XT (27425, delta 0%). It sits slightly behind the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3090 (27565, delta -0.5%) and the AMD Radeon Pro Vega 20 (27839, delta -1.5%), while being about 1.1% ahead of the NVIDIA RTX PRO 4000 Blackwell (27135). This places the mobile part in the same performance tier as several desktop-class cards.

Q: What is the CPU's multi-threaded performance ceiling?

A: The data shows a Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 11875.5 and a Passmark multithread score of 22422. The Passmark physics test yields 1482, while integer math reaches 73509 and floating-point math hits 54867. These figures indicate strong sustained multi-core throughput, with the 14-core/18-thread configuration providing solid headroom for modern game engines that scale across multiple threads.

Q: Does the GPU support modern graphics APIs required for current FPS titles?

A: The RTX 4070 Mobile reports DirectX 12 Ultimate (12_2), OpenGL 4.6, and Vulkan 1.4 support. Its Geekbench Vulkan score of 108367 and OpenCL score of 109197 indicate robust low-level API performance. The 36 ray tracing cores and 144 tensor cores provide dedicated hardware for ray-traced effects and DLSS-class features, assuming the game supports them.

Q: How does this combo rank among all tested systems for Lockdown Protocol?

A: The combination ranks 1st out of 3714 tested combos in the database for this game. This top-tier ranking suggests that, based on the available component performance data, no other tested CPU-GPU pairing scores higher in synthetic benchmarks relevant to Lockdown Protocol.

Q: Is there measured FPS data for this game?

A: No. The database contains no measured FPS entries for this specific CPU-GPU combination with Lockdown Protocol. The dataIsMeasured field is false, and all verdictByResolution fields are empty. Performance conclusions must therefore be inferred from the component benchmark scores and their percentile rankings rather than direct frame rate measurements.

CPU and GPU Roles

Without measured frame rates, the division of labor between the CPU and GPU in Lockdown Protocol must be inferred from their respective benchmark profiles and how they scale across synthetic workloads. The CPU's Passmark single-thread score of 3521 and Cinebench R23 single-core score of 1700 indicate strong per-core performance, essential for game logic, physics, and AI processing that are typically single-thread bound. The multi-thread results — Cinebench R23 multi-core at 11875.5 and Passmark multithread at 22422 — show that the 14-core, 18-thread configuration can also handle heavily threaded workloads, which matters if Lockdown Protocol utilizes multiple threads for rendering preparation or simulation.

The GPU's Passmark G3D score of 19587 and DirectX 12 score of 85 (in the Passmark DirectX-specific tests) suggest that raw rasterization throughput is the limiting factor at higher resolutions and presets. The GPU's FP32 performance of 15.62 TFLOPS and texture rate of 244.1 GTexel/s indicate substantial fill-rate capability, while the 256.0 GB/s memory bandwidth on a 128-bit bus could become a constraint at 1440p or 4K where larger texture sets and higher buffer sizes demand more bandwidth. The CPU's memory bandwidth of 89.6 GB/s (dual-channel DDR5) is typical for mobile platforms and unlikely to bottleneck the GPU's 256.0 GB/s in most scenarios.

Scaling between resolutions typically shifts the balance toward the GPU. At lower resolutions (1080p), the CPU's single-thread and multi-thread scores become more relevant, as the GPU can often produce frames faster than the game's simulation thread can feed it. The CPU's 81st percentile ranking versus all CPUs suggests it should handle 1080p workloads without becoming the primary constraint. At higher resolutions (1440p and above), the GPU's 73rd percentile ranking versus all GPUs becomes the more critical factor, as pixel fill rate and memory bandwidth dominate frame time. The GPU's 8 GB VRAM capacity and 128-bit bus width are modest for high-resolution textures, which could manifest as reduced performance at maximum presets even if the compute throughput is sufficient.

The CPU's 14 cores (with 18 threads) and 18 MB of shared L3 cache provide ample cache hierarchy for game data, while the 7 nm process node (Intel) and 28 W TDP indicate efficient power delivery for sustained mobile workloads. The GPU's 115 W TDP and 5 nm TSMC process node similarly point to a balanced power envelope. The data does not include resolution-specific scaling percentages, so the exact magnitude of the shift from CPU-bound to GPU-bound behavior cannot be quantified, but the component profiles suggest a typical FPS-game distribution: CPU handles simulation and draw-call submission, GPU handles rasterization and post-processing, with the GPU becoming more dominant as resolution increases.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The database contains no measured FPS data for this configuration. The measuredFps array is empty, and no average, minimum, or maximum frame rate figures exist for any resolution or preset combination. The verdictByResolution object is also empty, meaning there are no resolution-specific performance classifications available. Consequently, a numerical FPS breakdown by resolution and settings cannot be provided from the FACT PACK. The only performance indicators available are the synthetic benchmark scores: the CPU's Cinebench R23 multi-core of 11875.5 and single-core of 1700, plus the GPU's Passmark G3D of 19587 and Geekbench Vulkan of 108367. These scores do not translate directly to frame rates in Lockdown Protocol without measured data, and any conversion would require assumptions outside the FACT PACK. The absence of measured frame rates means that claims about specific avg/min/max FPS figures would be fabricated, which the benchmark database explicitly avoids. The data confirms the components are capable based on synthetic tests, but frame time data is simply not part of the record for this title.

The Verdict

The verdictByResolution field is empty, so the database does not provide an official classification of whether this PC can run Lockdown Protocol at 60 FPS or higher at any resolution or preset. The playable threshold is defined as 60 FPS, but without measured data, no definitive statement can be made about which resolutions and presets clear that bar. What can be stated is that the CPU ranks at the 81st percentile among all CPUs and the GPU at the 73rd percentile among all GPUs, with the combined configuration ranking 1st out of 3714 tested combos for this game. This top combo rank, based on aggregate benchmark scores, strongly suggests that the hardware has the theoretical compute headroom to achieve playable frame rates in most scenarios, but the absence of measured FPS data means the database cannot confirm a 60 FPS guarantee. The CPU's nearest rivals — the AMD Ryzen 7 5800X and Intel Core i5-13500HX — are within 0.6% of its average score, and the GPU's nearest rival, the AMD Radeon RX 6700 XT, is within 0% delta, all of which are capable desktop parts. However, the data explicitly states that measured performance is not available, so any verdict on specific resolution-preset combinations would be speculation rather than database-backed analysis.

How This Combo Ranks

The Intel Core Ultra 5 135H and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Mobile combination holds the rank of 1 out of 3714 tested combos in the database for Lockdown Protocol. This is the top position, meaning no other CPU-GPU pairing tested in this game achieves a higher combined benchmark score. The significance of this rank is tempered by the fact that the data is not measured (dataIsMeasured is false), so the ranking is derived from synthetic component benchmarks rather than actual gameplay frame rates. Still, a 1st-place rank out of over three thousand combinations indicates that this pairing outperforms the vast majority of alternatives in raw compute terms. The CPU alone sits at the 81st percentile versus all CPUs, and the GPU at the 73rd percentile versus all GPUs, so the combination does not rely on a single dominant component but rather a balanced pairing where both parts are above average. The GPU's nearest rival, the AMD Radeon RX 6700 XT, has an identical average score (delta 0%), meaning this mobile GPU matches a well-regarded desktop card in synthetic tests. The CPU's nearest rival, the AMD Ryzen 7 5800X, is only 0.1% behind, which places this mobile CPU in desktop-class territory. The rank of 1 suggests that for Lockdown Protocol specifically, this combo is the best tested in the database, though users should note that rank is based on component benchmarks, not FPS measurements.

Best Settings per Resolution

Without measured FPS data for Lockdown Protocol, the database provides no resolution-specific recommended settings. The verdictByResolution field is empty, and the measuredFps array contains no entries, so there is no basis to identify which preset at which resolution stays at or above 60 FPS. The playable threshold is 60 FPS, but the absence of frame rate measurements means any specific recommendation would require extrapolation outside the FACT PACK. What the data does show is the hardware's theoretical capability: the CPU's 81st percentile ranking and the GPU's 73rd percentile ranking suggest the combo has substantial headroom, and the 1st-place combo rank out of 3714 reinforces that this is a top-tier pairing for the game. However, the database policy is to report only measured results, and since none exist for this title, the best settings per resolution cannot be determined from the available facts. The data does not include any resolution-specific scaling percentages, preset performance deltas, or memory bandwidth constraints that would inform a settings recommendation. Therefore, the only honest answer is that no best settings can be stated, as the database lacks the measured FPS data required to make such a determination.
