Lockdown Protocol

The AMD Ryzen 5 5600G paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti lands at rank 187 out of 1637 tested combinations in Lockdown Protocol. This places the combo in the top 11.4% of all tested systems, a strong result that reflects the GPU’s high standing in the broader benchmark database. The RTX 5070 Ti itself sits at the 87th percentile among all GPUs, while the Ryzen 5 5600G holds the 78th percentile among CPUs. The gap in percentile ranking hints that the graphics card is doing the heavy lifting, and the measured frame rates confirm that the GPU is the dominant factor in this pairing.

How This Combo Ranks

The combo rank of 187 out of 1637 tested configurations indicates that this system delivers performance in the upper tier of results for Lockdown Protocol. The CPU’s average benchmark score of 19983 places it in a tight cluster with its nearest rivals. The Intel Core i7-11600H scores 19949, a delta of 0.2% behind, while the Intel Core i7-11800H and AMD EPYC 7713P both score 20024, putting them 0.2% ahead of the 5600G. The AMD Ryzen Threadripper PRO 5995WX trails by 0.3% with a score of 19928. These margins are negligible—the 5600G is effectively performance-neutral against these competitors in synthetic workloads. The real differentiator here is the GPU, which scores 52086 on average and matches the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 exactly (52085, deltaPct 0). The Radeon RX 7700S is 0.8% ahead, and the RTX A1000 is 2.5% behind. This near-parity with the RTX 4080 explains why the combo achieves such a high rank despite a mid-range CPU.

GPU Role

The RTX 5070 Ti is the clear performance driver in this configuration. Its 16 GB of GDDR7 memory on a 256-bit bus delivers 896.0 GB/s of bandwidth, which is substantial for a game like Lockdown Protocol. The GPU’s base clock runs at 2295 MHz, with a boost clock of 2452 MHz, and memory operates at 1750 MHz (28 Gbps effective). These specifications translate into a pixel rate of 235.4 GPixel/s and a texture rate of 686.6 GTexel/s, figures that support high frame rates at demanding resolutions. The GPU’s FP32 throughput of 43.94 TFLOPS indicates strong raw compute capability, which is relevant for the physics and rendering workloads in an FPS title. With 70 RT cores and 280 tensor cores, the card is also equipped for ray-traced and DLSS-enhanced scenarios, though the measured data here does not isolate those features. In synthetic tests, the GPU’s 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 6604 and Passmark G3D score of 32974 confirm its high-end positioning. The CPU, by contrast, provides 6 cores and 12 threads from the Zen 3 architecture, with a base clock of 3.90 GHz and boost up to 4.40 GHz. Its 16 MB of L3 cache and dual-channel DDR4 memory support with 51.2 GB/s bandwidth are adequate but not exceptional, meaning it can feed the GPU without becoming a bottleneck at most settings, though the data shows some CPU limitation at lower resolutions.

Resolution Scaling

The measured FPS data reveals how the system scales across resolutions. At 1080p with Low settings, the combo hits 246.7 FPS, but at 4K with the same settings, it drops to 149.2 FPS—a 39.5% reduction. The scaling is consistent across settings. For High settings, the drop from 198.8 FPS at 1080p to 93.5 FPS at 4K represents a 53% decrease, indicating that the GPU is becoming the limiting factor as resolution increases. The Medium settings show a similar pattern: 220.3 FPS at 1080p falls to 104.5 FPS at 4K, a 52.6% drop. Ultra settings see the most severe degradation, from 147.8 FPS at 1080p down to 68 FPS at 4K, a 54% reduction. The pattern is clear: as resolution climbs, the GPU’s rendering load grows, and the frame rate drops proportionally. At 1080p, the CPU’s role becomes more prominent—the difference between Low and Ultra at 1080p is 98.9 FPS, whereas at 4K, the difference between Low and Ultra narrows to 81.2 FPS. This suggests that at 1080p, the CPU can keep up with the GPU’s output, but at 4K, the GPU’s pixel throughput dominates the frame rate ceiling.

Settings Recommendations

Given the measured rows, the optimal settings balance frame rate and visual quality. At 4K, the High preset delivers 93.5 FPS, which is playable for an FPS, but the Ultra preset drops to 68 FPS, which may feel less responsive. The Medium preset at 4K yields 104.5 FPS, offering a better margin above the 60 FPS threshold while maintaining higher fidelity than Low. At 1440p, the High preset hits 147.9 FPS, and Medium reaches 164.6 FPS, both well above typical high-refresh display rates. The Ultra preset at 1440p still manages 106.4 FPS, which is respectable. At 1080p, all settings exceed 147 FPS, with Low peaking at 246.7 FPS and High at 198.8 FPS. For competitive play, the 1080p Medium preset at 220.3 FPS offers a good balance of response time and visual detail. The data suggests that the High preset is the sweet spot across resolutions: it provides substantial visual improvements over Low while maintaining frame rates that are 5-10% higher than Medium at 4K and 1440p, and only 9.8% lower than Medium at 1080p. The Ultra preset is only advisable at 1440p and below, where the frame rate remains above 106 FPS.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the system delivers its highest frame rates. The Low preset averages 246.7 FPS, the Medium preset averages 220.3 FPS, and the High preset averages 198.8 FPS. The Ultra preset at this resolution drops to 147.8 FPS, which is still smooth but shows a 40.1% reduction from Low. At 2560x1440, the Medium preset averages 164.6 FPS, High averages 147.9 FPS, and Low reaches 228 FPS. The Ultra preset at 1440p averages 106.4 FPS. At 3840x2160, the Low preset averages 149.2 FPS, Medium averages 104.5 FPS, High averages 93.5 FPS, and Ultra averages 68 FPS. The spread between Low and Ultra at 4K is 81.2 FPS, which is the narrowest of any resolution, confirming that the GPU is the primary constraint at 4K. The data also shows that moving from 1080p Low to 4K Low costs 97.5 FPS, while moving from 1080p Ultra to 4K Ultra costs 79.8 FPS. This non-linear scaling indicates that the CPU’s single-thread performance, as evidenced by its 3DMark single-thread score of 872 and Cinebench R23 single-core score of 2365, is sufficient to drive high frame rates at lower resolutions, but the GPU’s workload at 4K becomes the deciding factor. The combination of a 6-core, 12-thread CPU with a high-end GPU results in a system that is GPU-bound at 4K and more balanced at 1080p, where the CPU can still push frame rates above 200 FPS in less demanding presets.
