Performance Analysis: Lockdown Protocol on Your System
The Intel Core Ultra 5 245 and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 combination delivers a surprisingly strong performance in Lockdown Protocol, comfortably clearing 60 FPS at every resolution tested. The data shows that at 1080p, the system reaches an average of 99 FPS on the maximum Ultra preset, while 1440p Ultra still holds at 73 FPS. The only compromise appears at 4K, where the Ultra preset dips below the playable threshold, but the High preset remains viable at 63 FPS. This pairing ranks 1588th out of 3714 tested combinations, placing it in the upper half of systems for this game.
FAQ
Q: What is the best playable setting at 4K with this hardware?
A: At 3840x2160, the most demanding preset that stays at or above 60 FPS is High, with an average of 63 FPS. The Medium preset runs slightly faster at 72 FPS, but High is the highest visual quality option that remains playable.
Q: Can this PC run the game at 1440p with maximum settings?
A: Yes. Benchmark results for 2560x1440 show the Ultra preset averages 73 FPS, which is comfortably above the 60 FPS playable threshold. In fact, all four presets (Low, Medium, High, and Ultra) are playable at this resolution.
Q: How significant is the performance drop from 1080p to 4K?
A: The data indicates a major scaling gap. At 1080p Ultra, the average FPS is 99, while at 4K Ultra it falls to 47 FPS, a reduction of more than half. Even on the High preset, the drop is from 133 FPS at 1080p to 63 FPS at 4K, showing the resolution is a dominant factor for this GPU.
Q: Is there a setting where the GPU becomes the primary bottleneck?
A: Yes. At 4K, the Ultra preset drops to 47 FPS, creating a clear performance wall that is attributable to the GPU. The CPU's benchmark percentile (90th percentile vs all CPUs) suggests it is not the limiting factor at higher resolutions, where the GPU workload increases significantly.
Q: What is the best setting for 1080p if I want the highest visual quality?
A: The Ultra preset at 1920x1080 delivers an average of 99 FPS, making it both the most demanding and the highest-performing option that remains above 60 FPS. The data indicates no need to compromise on visuals at this resolution.
Q: How does the RTX 3070 compare to its nearest rival in the data?
A: The RTX 3070 has an average benchmark score of 17208, which is within 0.7% of the AMD Radeon RX 7600 XT (score 17083). This places the two cards as near-identical performers in general compute, though gaming performance can vary.
Best Settings per Resolution
The measured FPS data dictates the most demanding preset that stays at or above 60 FPS for each resolution. The system delivers the following optimal configurations:
- 3840x2160 (4K): High preset at an average of 63 FPS is the best playable option. Ultra drops to 47 FPS, which fails the 60 FPS requirement.
- 2560x1440 (1440p): Ultra preset at an average of 73 FPS is the best option. All settings are playable here, with High at 97 FPS, Medium at 111 FPS, and Low at 157 FPS.
- 1920x1080 (1080p): Ultra preset at an average of 99 FPS is the clear winner. Even the most demanding settings maintain a 60+ FPS experience, with High at 133 FPS and Low at 214 FPS.
CPU and GPU Roles
The benchmark data indicates that the GPU is the dominant factor in Lockdown Protocol's performance, particularly as resolution increases. The CPU, while a strong performer, does not appear to be the primary constraint at any tested resolution. The Intel Core Ultra 5 245 sits in the 90th percentile of all CPUs, with a multicore Cinebench R23 score of 32924 which positions it well above the average requirement for gaming workloads.
Looking at the scaling between resolutions, the GPU's workload grows substantially as resolution increases. At 1080p, the Ultra preset averages 99 FPS. Moving to 1440p, the same Ultra preset drops to 73 FPS, a 26% reduction. At 4K, Ultra plummets to 47 FPS, a 36% reduction from 1440p. This pattern indicates a classic GPU-bound scenario. The CPU's role is less critical at 4K, as the GPU is clearly saturated.
However, the CPU does matter at lower resolutions. At 1080p, the system achieves 214 FPS on Low and 152 FPS on Medium, which shows the CPU can feed the GPU at high frame rates. The fact that the CPU's average benchmark score is 48,995, within 0.5% of the AMD Ryzen 9 7900, suggests it has enough headroom to avoid becoming a bottleneck in this title. The data indicates that for Lockdown Protocol, the GPU is the component to upgrade if seeking higher visual fidelity or resolution, while the CPU is sufficient for all tested configurations.
Similar Performance Alternatives
The nearestRivals data for both components provides context for what other hardware would behave similarly in a system. For the GPU, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 has an average score of 17,208, with the following performances:
- AMD Radeon RX 3070 XT (avgScore 17,083): A direct rival with a deltaPct of 0.7%, meaning it is nearly identical in performance.
- NVIDIA GeForce GTX 690 (avgScore 17,037): This older dual-GPU card is within 1% of the RTX 3070's score, though its driver support and modern feature set would differ.
- AMD Radeon HD 7970M (avgScore 17,019): A surprising near-match with a 1.1% difference, though this is a mobile part from a much older generation, indicating the score is not representative of real-world gaming.
- NVIDIA Tesla K40c (avgScore 17,468): A professional compute card that is 1.5% faster in raw scores but lacks gaming-specific optimizations.
For the CPU, the Intel Core Ultra 5 245 has an average score of 48,995, with the following equivalents:
- AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 5755G (avgScore 49,196): Virtually identical performance, with a deltaPct of -0.4%, making it a drop-in alternative.
- AMD Ryzen 9 7900 (avgScore 49,228): Also within 0.5% of the Ultra 5, meaning a system with this CPU would behave very similarly.
- Intel Xeon Gold 5318H (avgScore 48,698): Only 0.6% difference, though this is a server chip, not a consumer gaming processor.
- Intel Core i5-14600K (avgScore 48,618): A mainstream desktop part that is 0.8% slower, representing a close performance match.
Measured FPS Breakdown
The following table provides the exact measured FPS values for the Core Ultra 5 245 + RTX 3070 in Lockdown Protocol, as captured by the benchmark database:
| Resolution | Settings | Avg FPS | Min FPS | Max FPS |
|------------|----------|---------|---------|---------|
| 3840x2160 | High | 63 | - | - |
| 3840x2160 | Low | 101 | - | - |
| 3840x2160 | Medium | 72 | 61 | 83 |
| 3840x2160 | Ultra | 47 | - | - |
| 2560x1440 | High | 97 | - | - |
| 2560x1440 | Low | 157 | - | - |
| 2560x1440 | Medium | 111 | 95 | 128 |
| 2560x1440 | Ultra | 73 | - | - |
| 1920x1080 | High | 133 | - | - |
| 1920x1080 | Low | 214 | - | - |
| 1920x1080 | Medium | 152 | 129 | 175 |
| 1920x1080 | Ultra | 99 | - | - |
The data is consistent across resolutions, with the Medium preset being the only one that provides a complete min/max range. At 4K Medium, the FPS dips to 61, which barely clears the playable threshold, but the high average of 72 shows good stability. At 1440p, the Medium preset maintains a minimum of 95 FPS, ensuring no drops below 60. At 1080p, the Medium preset's minimum of 129 FPS demonstrates the system's headroom.
The Verdict
Yes, this PC can run Lockdown Protocol, with a strong majority of settings and resolutions achieving smooth frame rates. According to the verdictByResolution data:
- 3840x2160: The system is playable on High, Low, and Medium presets. The best setting is High, which averages 63 FPS. Ultra is not recommended, as it falls to 47 FPS.
- 2560x1440: All four presets are playable, with Ultra at 73 FPS being the best choice. The system is fully capable of a high-quality experience at this resolution.
- 1920x1080: Ultra settings are playable at 99 FPS, making this the resolution where the hardware's full potential is realized. All presets are playable, and the system exceeds the 60 FPS requirement by a wide margin.
The data indicates that this combination is well-suited for Lockdown Protocol, with the only significant limitation being 4K Ultra settings. For most users, running at 1440p with maximum quality or 1080p with maximum quality provides an excellent experience. The RTX 3070's 8 GB of GDDR6 memory and the CPU's strong single-thread performance (Cinebench R23 single-core score of 4648) are sufficient for the demands of the game. The system ranks in the 43rd percentile of all tested combinations, indicating a solid mid-high-tier performance.
