Performance Analysis: Lockdown Protocol on Your System
The Intel Core Ultra 7 265 paired with the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1070 is a desktop combination aimed at 1080p and 1440p gaming in Lockdown Protocol. Measured results show that at 1080p every preset clears the 60 FPS threshold, while 1440p requires Medium or lower, and 4K only reaches playable frame rates on Low. The CPU's launch MSRP is $394, and the GPU's launch MSRP is $379. This analysis details the recorded FPS at each resolution and setting, the roles of the CPU and GPU, and how this combo compares to other tested hardware.
Best Settings per Resolution
At 3840x2160, the most demanding preset that maintains at least 60 FPS is Low, with an average of 62 FPS. Medium drops to 44 FPS, High to 38 FPS, and Ultra to 29 FPS. Any setting above Low at 4K falls below the playable threshold.
At 2560x1440, the most demanding preset that stays at or above 60 FPS is Medium, averaging 68 FPS. Low averages 96 FPS, but High averages 59 FPS, just under the threshold, and Ultra averages 45 FPS. Thus Medium is the highest quality option that remains playable at this resolution.
At 1920x1080, all four presets exceed 60 FPS. The most demanding preset, Ultra, averages 61 FPS, while High averages 81 FPS, Medium 93 FPS, and Low 131 FPS. The full range of settings is playable, with Ultra being the most visually demanding option that still clears the 60 FPS line.
CPU and GPU Roles
The recorded data indicates that the GPU is the primary limiting factor across all resolutions. At 1080p Low, the combo reaches 131 FPS, but at 4K Low it falls to 62 FPS, a reduction of 69 FPS. This scaling with resolution is characteristic of a GPU-bound system. Similarly, at 1440p Medium the average is 68 FPS, while at 4K Medium it is 44 FPS. The CPU, which ranks in the 93rd percentile among all CPUs with an average benchmark score of 64640, has substantial headroom. Its Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 42216 and single-core score of 5960, along with a boost clock of 5.30 GHz, suggest it is not the bottleneck.
The GPU, by contrast, sits in the 47th percentile, with a Passmark G3D score of 13498. At 1080p, the difference between Low and Ultra is 70 FPS (131 to 61), showing that even at lower resolutions the GPU's performance ceiling is reached. At 4K Ultra, the GPU is heavily strained, producing 29 FPS. The CPU's high core count and thread count (20 each) do not compensate for the GPU's limits. The data shows that as resolution increases, the frame rate drops more steeply, confirming that the GPU is the component that determines playability in Lockdown Protocol.
Measured FPS Breakdown
The following table lists the exact average, minimum, and maximum frame rates recorded for each resolution and preset combination. Minimum and maximum values are only available for Medium presets across all three resolutions.
| Resolution | Settings | Avg FPS | Min FPS | Max FPS |
|------------|----------|---------|---------|---------|
| 3840x2160 | High | 38 | - | - |
| 3840x2160 | Low | 62 | - | - |
| 3840x2160 | Medium | 44 | 37 | 50 |
| 3840x2160 | Ultra | 29 | - | - |
| 2560x1440 | High | 59 | - | - |
| 2560x1440 | Low | 96 | - | - |
| 2560x1440 | Medium | 68 | 58 | 78 |
| 2560x1440 | Ultra | 45 | - | - |
| 1920x1080 | High | 81 | - | - |
| 1920x1080 | Low | 131 | - | - |
| 1920x1080 | Medium | 93 | 79 | 107 |
| 1920x1080 | Ultra | 61 | - | - |
At 4K, the spread from Low to Ultra is 33 FPS (62 to 29). At 1440p, the spread is 51 FPS (96 to 45). At 1080p, the spread is 70 FPS (131 to 61). These figures highlight how the GPU's performance scales with resolution and settings. The Medium presets show that minimum frame rates can dip below the average, but the averages remain within the playable range for the recommended settings.
The Verdict
Based on the verdict data, this PC can run Lockdown Protocol at 1080p with all presets, including Ultra, which averages 61 FPS. At 1440p, it can run Low and Medium, with Medium averaging 68 FPS. At 4K, only Low reaches the 60 FPS threshold, averaging 62 FPS. The playable threshold is 60 FPS. For a smooth experience, the recommended settings are: 1080p Ultra (61 FPS), 1440p Medium (68 FPS), and 4K Low (62 FPS). Any preset above these at each resolution will fall below 60 FPS. Specifically, 1440p High averages 59 FPS, just short of the threshold, and 4K Medium averages 44 FPS, which is not playable.
Similar Performance Alternatives
The CPU's nearest rivals in the database are the AMD EPYC 4464P, Intel Core Ultra 7 265F, AMD EPYC 7343, and AMD EPYC 9124. Their average benchmark scores are within 0.7% of the Core Ultra 7 265's 64640 average. The Intel Core Ultra 7 265F is the closest at 0.3% difference, followed by the AMD EPYC 7343 at 0.7%. Swapping to any of these would yield nearly identical CPU performance in Lockdown Protocol.
For the GPU, the nearest rivals are the AMD FirePro W5000, NVIDIA Quadro M2000M, NVIDIA Tesla M10, and NVIDIA Tesla C2070. Their average benchmark scores are within 0.7% of the GTX 1070's 9780 average. The AMD FirePro W5000 is 0.2% away, and the NVIDIA Quadro M2000M is 0.5% away. These alternatives would produce very similar frame rates, though they are not necessarily gaming-oriented cards.
