GPU Role

The RTX 4070 Ti SUPER is built on the AD103 chip with 8,448 shading units, 264 texture mapping units, and 96 raster output units. Its 16 GB of GDDR6X memory operates across a 256-bit bus, delivering 672.3 GB/s of bandwidth. The GPU clocks at 2340 MHz base and 2610 MHz boost, with memory running at 1313 MHz (21 Gbps effective). These specifications position it to handle high-resolution textures and complex shader workloads in Lockdown Protocol.

The GPU's 66 ray tracing cores and 264 tensor cores support the game's visual effects, though the measured FPS data suggests that raw rasterization performance drives the results. At 4K, the GPU's 44.10 TFLOPS of FP32 compute becomes the dominant factor, as frame rates drop by 54 FPS between Low (144.4) and Ultra (66.1) — a 54.2% reduction. At 1080p, the same settings spread is smaller (209.1 to 145.6 FPS, a 30.4% drop), indicating that CPU overhead plays a larger role at lower resolutions.

The 16 GB VRAM capacity is substantial for a game like Lockdown Protocol, and benchmark results show no signs of memory capacity limiting performance at any tested setting. The memory bandwidth of 672.3 GB/s supports the high texture throughput required at 4K, where even Medium settings (101.7 FPS) maintain playable frame rates. The GPU's 86th percentile ranking among all GPUs confirms it is a high-end part, though its nearest rivals show that performance is competitive rather than class-leading.

Settings Recommendations

For 1920x1080, the data shows that Ultra settings at 145.6 FPS provide an excellent experience without sacrificing visual quality. This is the only resolution where Ultra exceeds 144 Hz, making it the recommended preset for high-refresh monitors. Players prioritizing maximum frame rates can drop to Low for 209.1 FPS, but the 63.5 FPS gain over Ultra comes at a significant visual cost.

At 2560x1440, High settings at 140.4 FPS offer the best balance, staying above 140 FPS while maintaining better visual fidelity than Medium (158.4 FPS) or Low (187.9 FPS). Ultra drops to 103.7 FPS, which is still playable but loses the high-refresh advantage. For 4K gaming, Medium settings at 101.7 FPS represent the recommended choice, as High (92.3 FPS) and Ultra (66.1 FPS) fall below the 100 FPS threshold, while Low (144.4 FPS) sacrifices too much visual quality for the resolution.

The pattern across resolutions shows diminishing returns from Medium to High versus High to Ultra. At 1440p, the Medium-to-High gap is 18 FPS while High-to-Ultra is 36.7 FPS, indicating that Ultra carries a disproportionate performance penalty. For competitive play, Low or Medium settings at 1440p provide the highest frame rates, but for immersive single-player experiences, High is the optimal middle ground.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the combo delivers 209.1 FPS on Low, 185.1 FPS on Medium, 171.4 FPS on High, and 145.6 FPS on Ultra. The scaling from Low to Ultra shows a 30.4% performance reduction, with the largest single drop occurring between High and Ultra at 25.8 FPS. The 1080p results demonstrate that this pairing is well-suited for high-refresh displays, as even the most demanding preset exceeds 145 FPS.

At 2560x1440, frame rates remain robust: 187.9 FPS on Low, 158.4 FPS on Medium, 140.4 FPS on High, and 103.7 FPS on Ultra. The 1440p results show a 44.8% reduction from Low to Ultra, with the High-to-Ultra drop of 36.7 FPS being the largest single-step decline across all resolutions. The Medium preset at 158.4 FPS provides a strong middle ground for gamers seeking both performance and visual quality.

At 3840x2160, the GPU's workload becomes evident: 144.4 FPS on Low, 101.7 FPS on Medium, 92.3 FPS on High, and 66.1 FPS on Ultra. The 4K results show a 54.2% reduction from Low to Ultra, the steepest scaling curve in the dataset. The gap between Medium and High at 4K is only 9.4 FPS, whereas the Low-to-Medium gap is 42.7 FPS, suggesting that the GPU handles low-complexity scenes efficiently but struggles with higher settings at this resolution.

Across all resolutions, the Low preset consistently delivers the highest frame rates, but the relative performance gaps vary significantly. At 1080p, Low is 43.7 FPS ahead of Ultra; at 1440p, the gap widens to 84.2 FPS; at 4K, it reaches 78.3 FPS. This pattern indicates that the GPU's compute resources become increasingly strained as resolution increases, particularly when Ultra settings activate additional rendering features.

How This Combo Ranks

The combo ranks 353rd out of 1,637 tested combinations for Lockdown Protocol, placing it in the 78.4th percentile of all configurations. This ranking reflects the combination of a mid-range CPU (75th percentile) with a high-end GPU (86th percentile), resulting in a system that outperforms most tested setups but falls short of top-tier configurations.

The CPU's nearest rivals — the AMD Ryzen 3 PRO 5355GE, Intel Core i5-12450H, Intel Core i3-14100T, and Intel Core i3-13100F — all have average benchmark scores within 1% of the Ryzen 5 4600G. This tight clustering suggests that the CPU is not the primary differentiator in this combo's ranking. Instead, the GPU's performance relative to its nearest rivals — including the NVIDIA CMP 50HX and RTX A2000 — plays a larger role in determining the final rank.

The measured FPS data shows that this combo excels at 1080p and 1440p, where it achieves frame rates well above the 60 FPS standard. At 4K Ultra, the 66.1 FPS result is still playable, but the combo's ranking reflects that many other configurations deliver higher 4K performance. The 353rd position out of 1,637 suggests that while this pairing is strong, it is not exceptional — there are 352 tested combos that outperform it, likely featuring more powerful CPUs or higher-tier GPUs.

Given the GPU's 86th percentile ranking and the CPU's 75th percentile, the combo's overall rank of 353/1637 (78.4th percentile) indicates that the pairing is well-matched, with neither component dramatically bottlenecking the other. The data shows that at 1080p, the CPU can keep up with the GPU's output, while at 4K, the GPU becomes the limiting factor, as evidenced by the steep FPS drops at higher settings.
