GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Ti serves as the primary rendering engine in this combo, and its 8 GB of GDDR6X memory on a 256-bit bus provides a memory bandwidth of 608.3 GB/s. This bandwidth figure is critical for Lockdown Protocol's texture streaming demands, as the measured data shows a clear scaling pattern where higher resolutions and settings directly reduce average FPS. The GPU's GA104 chip, built on Samsung's 8 nm process, contains 17,400 million transistors across a 392 mm² die, with a boost clock of 1770 MHz that drives 6144 shading units.

The benchmark results indicate this GPU performs in the 75th percentile of all GPUs, with a PassMark G3D score of 23356 and a 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 3478. In Lockdown Protocol specifically, the GPU's capabilities manifest in the measured FPS deltas: at 2560x1440 High, the combo achieves 102 FPS average, while at 3840x2160 High it drops to 66 FPS, a 35.3% reduction that reflects the increased pixel count. The RTX 3070 Ti's 48 RT cores and 192 tensor cores are present, though the dataset does not specify whether Lockdown Protocol utilizes ray tracing or DLSS features.

The GPU's 21.75 TFLOPS FP32 throughput and 339.8 GTexel/s texture rate provide the raw compute necessary for the game's particle effects and geometry processing. With a TDP of 290 W and a suggested PSU of 600 W, the power delivery is substantial, but the measured FPS at 1080p Ultra (105 FPS average) shows the card is not fully saturated at lower resolutions. The 8 GB VRAM capacity becomes a potential constraint at 4K Ultra, where the average FPS falls to 49, suggesting that memory capacity rather than compute power may be the limiting factor at that extreme configuration.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 5 5600 provides 6 cores and 12 threads based on the Zen 3 architecture, with a base clock of 3.50 GHz and a boost clock of 4.40 GHz. This CPU, built on TSMC's 7 nm process, contains 4,150 million transistors in a 74 mm² die, and its 32 MB of shared L3 cache helps reduce memory latency for game logic and physics calculations. The CPU's 65 W TDP is modest compared to the GPU's 290 W, and the data shows the processor is capable of sustaining high frame rates in Lockdown Protocol.

The Ryzen 5 5600 scores 18309 in Cinebench R23 multi-core and 2584 in single-core, with a Geekbench multi-core score of 9158 and single-core of 1936. These synthetic results place the CPU in the 74th percentile of all CPUs, and its nearest rival comparison shows a 0.1% advantage over the Core Ultra 7 258V. In Lockdown Protocol, the CPU's 12 threads are likely sufficient for the game's AI and network code, as evidenced by the 225 FPS average at 1080p Low, which represents a scenario where the GPU is not the limiting factor.

The CPU's memory support for DDR4 with dual-channel configuration and 51.2 GB/s bandwidth aligns with the GPU's 608.3 GB/s, ensuring the system can feed data without significant bottlenecks. At 1080p settings, the FPS differences between Low (225 FPS) and Ultra (105 FPS) are more pronounced than at 4K, where the GPU becomes the primary constraint. This pattern suggests the Ryzen 5 5600's 4.40 GHz boost clock provides enough single-thread performance to avoid bottlenecking the RTX 3070 Ti at lower resolutions, while at 4K the workload shifts almost entirely to the GPU.

How This Combo Ranks

The combo's rank of 1324 out of 3714 tested combinations places it in the 64th percentile of all hardware pairings tested in Lockdown Protocol. This ranking indicates that while the Ryzen 5 5600 and RTX 3070 Ti are not at the current-generation of performance, they deliver a competitive experience that outperforms approximately two-thirds of the tested configurations. The CPU's 74th percentile and GPU's 75th percentile individual rankings suggest a well-matched pairing where neither component drastically underperforms the other.

The data shows this combo's performance is consistent with its component-level benchmarks: the CPU's average benchmark score of 20468 and the GPU's average of 29945 both sit near the 75th percentile, and the in-game rank reflects this alignment. Compared to the nearest rival combos, the RTX 3070 Ti's 0.5% deficit to the RX 6800 and 1.6% deficit to the RX 6700 in synthetic benchmarks suggest that alternative AMD GPU pairings might yield slightly higher frame rates, but the measured FPS data for this specific combo provides the concrete evidence for Lockdown Protocol.

The 3714 total combos include a wide range of hardware generations, and this pairing's 1324th place indicates it sits comfortably in the upper-middle segment. The measured FPS at 1440p High (102 FPS average) and 1080p Ultra (105 FPS average) shows that the combo is capable of maintaining high refresh rates at mainstream resolutions, which is where the majority of players operate. The rank does not account for price or efficiency, only raw performance in this specific game, making it a pure performance indicator.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 3840x2160 (4K), the combo produces its lowest frame rates across all settings. The Ultra preset yields 49 FPS average, High produces 66 FPS, Medium achieves 76 FPS with a minimum of 64 and maximum of 87, and Low reaches 106 FPS. The progression from Ultra to Low shows a 116.3% FPS increase, demonstrating that settings adjustments have a substantial impact at this resolution, though even Low settings barely cross the 100 FPS threshold.

At 2560x1440 (1440p), the performance improves significantly. Ultra averages 77 FPS, High reaches 102 FPS, Medium delivers 117 FPS with a minimum of 99 and maximum of 135, and Low tops out at 165 FPS. The jump from 4K to 1440p at High settings is a 54.5% increase (from 66 to 102 FPS), making 1440p a more viable resolution for high-refresh-rate monitors. The Medium settings at this resolution provide the only complete min/max data, showing a 36 FPS range between minimum and maximum.

At 1920x1080 (1080p), the combo achieves its highest frame rates. Ultra averages 105 FPS, High reaches 139 FPS, Medium delivers 160 FPS with a minimum of 136 and maximum of 184, and Low produces 225 FPS. The 1080p Low result is more than double the 4K Ultra result, highlighting the GPU's ability to scale well at lower resolutions. The Medium preset at 1080p shows a 48 FPS range between minimum and maximum, indicating some frame-time variance but still maintaining an average well above 144 FPS.

Settings Recommendations

The measured FPS data indicates that the Medium preset offers the best balance of visual quality and performance across all resolutions, as it is the only settings tier with complete min/max data showing consistent frame delivery. At 1080p Medium, the 160 FPS average with a 136 FPS minimum comfortably exceeds the 144 Hz refresh rate common on gaming monitors, while at 1440p Medium, the 117 FPS average and 99 FPS minimum provide a smooth experience on 100 Hz or 120 Hz displays.

For players prioritizing maximum frame rate, the Low preset at 1080p delivers 225 FPS average, which is ideal for competitive play where reaction time matters more than visual fidelity. However, the High preset at 1080p still produces 139 FPS average, which remains above the 120 FPS threshold for most high-refresh displays, and at 1440p High achieves 102 FPS, which is sufficient for 100 Hz monitors. The Ultra preset is only recommended for players with 60 Hz displays at 1440p, where the 77 FPS average provides headroom, but at 4K the 49 FPS average falls below the 60 FPS target and is not advisable.

The data suggests that the Medium preset is the sweet spot for this combo, as it provides the only measured minimum FPS values that do not dip below 60 FPS at any resolution. At 4K Medium, the 64 FPS minimum is just above the 60 FPS threshold, while the 76 FPS average provides a playable experience on 60 Hz 4K displays. The High preset at 1080p is also a strong recommendation, as the 139 FPS average offers a significant improvement over Medium's 160 FPS while maintaining better visual quality, and the lack of min/max data for High suggests stable performance based on the average figures alone.
