Lockdown Protocol

# How This Combo Ranks

The AMD Ryzen 5 5600GT + NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti SUPER combination ranks 193rd out of 1,637 tested combos in Lockdown Protocol, placing it in the top 12% of all configurations. This is a strong result, though not a top-tier placement, indicating that while the system handles the game well, there are faster combinations ahead. The ranking reflects a balanced pairing where the GPU's raw power is the primary driver, but the CPU's six Zen 3 cores still keep up without becoming a severe bottleneck. In a game like Lockdown Protocol, which is a competitive FPS, this rank suggests you are positioned well above the median experience, but not at the absolute peak where frame rates exceed what most displays can show.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti SUPER is the dominant component in this pairing, and the data confirms it. With 16 GB of GDDR6X memory on a 256-bit bus, the card delivers 672.3 GB/s of bandwidth, which is ample for Lockdown Protocol's textures and geometry at high resolutions. The GPU's base clock is 2340 MHz, boosting to 2610 MHz, and it houses 8,448 shading units alongside 66 RT cores and 264 tensor cores. These specifications translate to a PassMark G3D score of 31,811 and a percentile ranking of 86 among all GPUs, meaning it outperforms the vast majority of graphics cards tested.

The GPU's nearest rivals in the benchmark database include the NVIDIA CMP 50HX (0.7% slower), the RTX A2000 (1.6% faster), and the RTX A1000 Mobile (2% faster), though the RTX 4070 Ti SUPER's average benchmark score of 48,704 sits between these professional and mobile parts. In Lockdown Protocol specifically, the GPU's role is clear: at 1080p Low settings, the system hits 265.2 FPS, which is nearly double what the CPU can likely feed, indicating the GPU is not the limiting factor at lower settings. However, at 4K Ultra, the frame rate drops to 70.4 FPS, showing that the GPU's compute and memory bandwidth are stretched by the game's highest preset. The 21 Gbps effective memory speed and 44.10 TFLOPS of FP32 performance are the key metrics here, as Lockdown Protocol's fast-paced action benefits from high fill rates and texture throughput.

Resolution Scaling

The measured FPS data reveals a clear pattern of scaling from 1080p to 4K, with the GPU becoming increasingly stressed as resolution rises. At 1080p High, the average frame rate is 189.9 FPS, which drops to 140.4 FPS at 1440p (a 26% reduction) and then to 91.2 FPS at 4K (a further 35% reduction). This scaling is typical for a GPU-bound scenario, but the Low settings tell a different story: 265.2 FPS at 1080p falls to 225.7 FPS at 1440p (15% drop) and then to 147.8 FPS at 4K (35% drop). The steeper decline at higher settings indicates that the GPU's shading and memory bandwidth are the primary constraints, not the CPU.

At Ultra settings, the drop is even more pronounced: 143.9 FPS at 1080p, 103.2 FPS at 1440p (28% drop), and 70.4 FPS at 4K (32% drop). These numbers suggest that Lockdown Protocol is heavily GPU-bound at higher presets, with the RTX 4070 Ti SUPER's 16 GB VRAM and 672.3 GB/s bandwidth being fully utilized. The fact that the 1080p-to-1440p drop is smaller than the 1440p-to-4K drop across all settings points to a resolution threshold where the GPU's pixel rate (250.6 GPixel/s) and texture rate (689.0 GTexel/s) become limiting. For competitive play at 1080p, the system easily exceeds 240 FPS on Low, but at 4K, even High settings fall below 100 FPS, which may be insufficient for high-refresh monitors.

Settings Recommendations

The benchmark data indicates that the optimal balance between visual quality and frame rate is achieved at 1440p High, where the system delivers 140.4 FPS. This is above the 144 Hz refresh rate common on gaming monitors, and the visual fidelity is substantially better than Low or Medium presets. At 1080p, High is also excellent at 189.9 FPS, but the jump to Ultra costs 46 FPS (to 143.9 FPS), which is a significant penalty for marginal visual gains. For those prioritizing maximum smoothness, 1080p Low at 265.2 FPS is the clear choice, as it exceeds the refresh rates of even the fastest esports displays.

At 4K, the situation is more constrained. High settings yield 91.2 FPS, which is playable but not ideal for competitive play; Medium at 106.4 FPS is a better compromise, while Ultra at 70.4 FPS should be avoided unless visual fidelity is paramount. The data shows that Medium settings at 4K offer a 17% frame rate improvement over High, which is worthwhile. Overall, the recommended preset is 1440p High, as it provides the best combination of frame rate and visual quality, with 1080p High as a strong alternative for higher refresh rates.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 5 5600GT is a 6-core, 12-thread processor based on the Zen 3 architecture, running at a base clock of 3.60 GHz and boosting to 4.60 GHz. Its 16 MB of L3 cache and 7 nm process node (TSMC) contribute to a Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 17,272 and a single-core score of 2,438. The CPU's average benchmark score is 20,740, which puts it in the 78th percentile of all CPUs, with nearest rivals including the Intel Core i7-10700 (0% delta), Intel Core i5-12490F (0.3% faster), and AMD Ryzen 5 5600X (0.3% slower).

In Lockdown Protocol, the CPU's role is secondary to the GPU, but not negligible. At 1080p Low, the system reaches 265.2 FPS, which suggests the CPU is feeding frames fast enough to avoid a hard bottleneck. The 3DMark 16-thread score of 5,523 and PassMark multi-thread score of 20,325 indicate that the six cores handle the game's physics and AI workloads without issue. However, the CPU's PCIe Gen 3 interface (16 lanes) could theoretically limit GPU bandwidth, though the measured FPS at higher resolutions shows no evidence of this being a problem. The 65 W TDP and dual-channel DDR4 memory support (51.2 GB/s bandwidth) are modest, but they do not appear to hinder performance in this game, as the frame rates scale predictably with GPU load.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The measured FPS data covers three resolutions and four settings, providing a complete picture of performance. At 1920x1080, the average frame rates are: Low 265.2 FPS, Medium 220.4 FPS, High 189.9 FPS, and Ultra 143.9 FPS. The difference between Low and Ultra is 121.3 FPS, or a 46% drop, which shows that Lockdown Protocol's higher presets impose a substantial load on the GPU. The 1080p results are consistently above 144 FPS for all settings except Ultra, which still exceeds 140 FPS, making this resolution suitable for high-refresh gaming.

At 2560x1440, the average frame rates are: Low 225.7 FPS, Medium 162.9 FPS, High 140.4 FPS, and Ultra 103.2 FPS. The drop from 1080p to 1440p is 15% at Low (265.2 to 225.7 FPS), 26% at Medium (220.4 to 162.9 FPS), 26% at High (189.9 to 140.4 FPS), and 28% at Ultra (143.9 to 103.2 FPS). This shows that the GPU's bandwidth and shading resources are increasingly taxed as resolution rises, with the gap between Low and Ultra narrowing to 122.5 FPS (54% drop).

At 3840x2160, the average frame rates are: Low 147.8 FPS, Medium 106.4 FPS, High 91.2 FPS, and Ultra 70.4 FPS. The scaling from 1440p to 4K is significant: 35% drop at Low (225.7 to 147.8 FPS), 35% at Medium (162.9 to 106.4 FPS), 35% at High (140.4 to 91.2 FPS), and 32% at Ultra (103.2 to 70.4 FPS). The 4K results indicate that only Low settings maintain a frame rate above 144 FPS, while High and Ultra fall below 100 FPS, which is a notable limitation for 4K gaming. The overall trend confirms that the RTX 4070 Ti SUPER is the limiting factor at 4K, while the CPU remains sufficient across all tested configurations.
