Performance Analysis: Lockdown Protocol on Your System
The Intel Core Ultra 5 225 paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 delivers a robust 1080p and 1440p experience in Lockdown Protocol, with 4K remaining viable at High settings. Benchmark data shows this combo maintains 60+ FPS across most tested presets, with the CPU and GPU each playing distinct roles depending on resolution.
FAQ
*Q: Can this system run Lockdown Protocol at 4K with playable frame rates?*
A: Yes, at 4K the combo achieves 63 FPS on High settings and 72 FPS on Medium, with a minimum of 61 FPS recorded on Medium. Ultra settings drop to 47 FPS, which falls below the 60 FPS playable threshold.
Q: What is the best preset for 1440p gaming with this hardware?
A: Ultra settings at 2560x1440 produce 73 FPS average, making it the highest visual preset that stays above 60 FPS. High and Medium also clear the threshold at 97 FPS and 111 FPS respectively.
Q: How does the RTX 3070 compare to its nearest GPU rivals in raw benchmark scores?
A: The RTX 3070's average benchmark score of 17208 places it 0.7% ahead of the AMD Radeon RX 7600 XT (17083), 1% ahead of the GTX 690 (17037), and 1.1% ahead of the Radeon HD 7970M (17019). It trails the Tesla K40c by 1.5% (17468).
Q: What is the CPU's performance ranking relative to other processors?
A: The Intel Core Ultra 5 225 sits in the 85th percentile of all CPUs, with an average benchmark score of 36938. It performs within 0.5% of the AMD Ryzen 5 5600F (36945), Ryzen 5 5500X3D (37018), Ryzen AI 7 PRO 450 (37093), and Core i9-12900T (37112).
Q: Does the game favor the GPU more at higher resolutions?
A: Yes. At 1080p, the CPU's single-thread strength (3655 in Cinebench R23 single-core) helps push Ultra to 99 FPS. At 4K, GPU limits become evident—Ultra drops to 47 FPS while Low hits 101 FPS, showing a 54 FPS spread driven primarily by graphics load.
Q: Is 8 GB of VRAM sufficient for this game's highest settings?
A: The data indicates yes for 1440p and below. At 1440p Ultra, the system averages 73 FPS, and at 1080p Ultra it reaches 99 FPS. At 4K Ultra, the 47 FPS result suggests VRAM or bandwidth constraints, though High at 4K still delivers 63 FPS.
Best Settings per Resolution
At 1920x1080, the most demanding preset that maintains 60+ FPS is Ultra, yielding an average of 99 FPS. This represents the full visual experience without compromise.
At 2560x1440, Ultra remains playable with an average of 73 FPS. The 26 FPS drop from 1080p Ultra shows expected scaling, but the result stays comfortably above the 60 FPS threshold.
At 3840x2160, the best playable preset is High, averaging 63 FPS. Medium also clears 60 FPS at 72 FPS with a 61 FPS minimum, but High provides superior visual quality while still meeting the target. Ultra falls short at 47 FPS.
Similar Performance Alternatives
For the CPU, the Intel Core Ultra 5 225 sits in a tight performance cluster. The AMD Ryzen 5 5600F matches it exactly with a 0% deltaPct and nearly identical average score (36945 vs 36938). The AMD Ryzen 5 5500X3D trails by just 0.2%, while the AMD Ryzen AI 7 PRO 450 and Intel Core i9-12900T are 0.4% and 0.5% behind respectively. Any of these processors would deliver near-identical frame pacing in Lockdown Protocol, though the Core Ultra 5 225's 10 cores and 20 MB of L3 cache provide a slight edge in multi-threaded workloads like Cinebench R23 multicore (25891).
For the GPU, the RTX 3070's nearest rival is the AMD Radeon RX 7600 XT, which scores 0.7% lower (17083 vs 17208). The NVIDIA GeForce GTX 690 and AMD Radeon HD 7970M are within 1.1% of the RTX 3070's average benchmark score, though these older architectures may lack modern feature support. The NVIDIA Tesla K40c scores 1.5% higher but is a compute-oriented card without gaming optimizations. For Lockdown Protocol, the RX 7600 XT would be the most practical alternative, offering similar 1440p performance with the same 8 GB memory class.
The Verdict
This system runs Lockdown Protocol well across all tested resolutions. At 1080p, the combo clears 60 FPS on every preset, with Ultra averaging 99 FPS—a strong result for high-refresh monitors. At 1440p, Ultra remains playable at 73 FPS, making this the sweet spot for visual fidelity and smoothness. At 4K, High settings deliver 63 FPS, which meets the playable threshold, but Ultra falls below at 47 FPS.
The verdict is straightforward: yes, this PC can run the game. The most demanding settings that maintain 60+ FPS are Ultra at 1080p and 1440p, and High at 4K. Players prioritizing maximum quality should stick to 1440p Ultra; those with 4K displays should accept High settings for a consistent experience.
CPU and GPU Roles
The scaling data reveals how component responsibilities shift across resolutions. At 1080p, the CPU's influence is most pronounced. The Core Ultra 5 225's single-core performance (3655 in Cinebench R23 single-core) helps drive Low settings to 214 FPS and Ultra to 99 FPS. The GPU handles the graphical load easily at this resolution, so frame rates are largely dictated by how well the CPU feeds the render pipeline.
At 1440p, the balance tips toward the GPU. Low settings produce 157 FPS, while Ultra drops to 73 FPS—a 84 FPS spread. The RTX 3070's 448.0 GB/s memory bandwidth and 20.31 TFLOPS FP32 performance become more significant as pixel count increases. The CPU still keeps pace, but the GPU's rendering limits start to appear.
At 4K, the GPU dominates. Ultra falls to 47 FPS while Low reaches 101 FPS, a 54 FPS difference that highlights graphics-bound performance. The RTX 3070's 8 GB GDDR6 memory and 256-bit bus are the limiting factors here. The CPU's role diminishes—even at Low settings, the 101 FPS ceiling suggests the GPU is the primary constraint, not the processor.
The data shows a clear pattern: at 1080p, the CPU matters more; at 1440p, both components contribute; at 4K, the GPU is the sole bottleneck. Players overclocking or upgrading should focus on GPU improvements for 4K, while 1080p players benefit more from CPU headroom.
How This Combo Ranks
Among 3714 tested combinations in Lockdown Protocol, this CPU-GPU pairing ranks 1588th. This places it in the upper-middle tier of tested systems, roughly in the 57th percentile of all combos. The ranking reflects the RTX 3070's 61st percentile position among all GPUs and the CPU's 85th percentile standing among all processors.
The rank suggests this combo outperforms a majority of systems but trails high-end configurations. The RTX 3070's age (released in 2020, now end-of-life) holds back the overall ranking despite the modern CPU. The Core Ultra 5 225's strong multi-core scores (25891 in Cinebench R23 multicore, 30459 in Passmark multithread) help boost the combo, but the GPU's mid-tier standing limits 4K Ultra performance.
For context, the combo's 1080p Ultra result of 99 FPS and 1440p Ultra of 73 FPS are solid mid-range figures. The rank of 1588 out of 3714 means roughly 43% of tested systems perform better, likely those with newer GPUs like the RTX 40-series or higher-tier 30-series cards. However, the data confirms this pairing delivers a fully playable experience at all resolutions with appropriate settings, making it a viable option for 1440p gaming with room for 4K at reduced presets.
