Resolution Scaling

The FPS scaling from 1080p to 4K reveals a significant GPU bottleneck at higher resolutions. At High settings, the average frame rate drops from 124 FPS at 1080p to 91 FPS at 1440p, then to 59 FPS at 4K—a 52% reduction from 1080p to 4K. This pattern intensifies at Ultra settings, where 1080p yields 93 FPS, 1440p drops to 68 FPS, and 4K falls to 44 FPS, a 53% decrease. The data indicates the RX 6750 XT's 12 GB GDDR6 memory and 432.0 GB/s bandwidth become increasingly stressed as pixel count rises, while the Ryzen 5 7400F's 6 cores and 12 threads maintain consistent performance across resolutions.

At Low settings, the scaling is more dramatic: 200 FPS at 1080p, 147 FPS at 1440p, and 95 FPS at 4K. The 52.5% drop from 1080p to 4K at Low settings mirrors the High preset's scaling, suggesting the GPU's rendering pipeline, not the CPU, dictates the performance ceiling. The 4K Medium setting, with a 67 FPS average and a 57-77 FPS range, shows the smoothest 4K experience, while 4K Ultra's 44 FPS average indicates the GPU is overwhelmed. Notably, the 1440p Medium setting provides a 104 FPS average with a 89-120 FPS range, making it a sweet spot for high-refresh monitors.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the combo delivers its strongest results. Low settings produce a 200 FPS average, the highest measured in the entire dataset. Medium settings yield 142 FPS with a range of 121-164 FPS, while High settings drop to 124 FPS. Ultra settings at 1080p average 93 FPS, still comfortably above 60 FPS thresholds. These numbers indicate the CPU and GPU combination has ample headroom at this resolution, with the GPU's 13.31 TFLOPS FP32 performance and 2560 shading units handling the load efficiently.

Moving to 2560x1440, performance remains strong but begins to show GPU limitations. Low settings average 147 FPS, a 26.5% drop from 1080p. Medium settings produce 104 FPS with a 89-120 FPS range, while High settings average 91 FPS. Ultra settings at 1440p fall to 68 FPS, which is the lowest 1440p result but still playable. The gap between Low and Ultra at 1440p is 79 FPS, indicating the GPU's 160 texture mapping units and 64 ROPs are the limiting factors as settings increase.

At 3840x2160, performance drops significantly across all settings. Low settings average 95 FPS, Medium produces 67 FPS with a 57-77 FPS range, High drops to 59 FPS, and Ultra falls to 44 FPS. The 4K results show a clear pattern: the RX 6750 XT's 192-bit memory bus and 432.0 GB/s bandwidth struggle to feed the 12 GB frame buffer at this resolution. The 51 FPS difference between Low and Ultra at 4K is the largest across all resolutions, highlighting the GPU's sensitivity to settings changes at higher pixel counts.

Settings Recommendations

For the best overall experience, the 2560x1440 Medium preset offers the optimal balance, delivering 104 FPS with a 89-120 FPS range. This configuration provides smooth gameplay while maintaining visual quality, with the 89 FPS minimum ensuring no significant dips below refresh rate thresholds. At 1080p, Medium settings at 142 FPS are the best choice for competitive play, offering a high frame rate with a 121-164 FPS range that keeps performance consistent.

For 4K gaming, Medium settings are the only viable option, yielding 67 FPS with a 57-77 FPS range. High settings at 4K produce 59 FPS, which is borderline playable but risks drops below 60 FPS during intense scenes. Ultra settings at any resolution should be avoided; even at 1080p, Ultra only reaches 93 FPS, while at 4K it plunges to 44 FPS. The data suggests the RX 6750 XT's 40 ray accelerators and RDNA 2.0 architecture deliver diminishing returns beyond Medium settings in Lockdown Protocol.

Low settings provide the highest frame rates but sacrifice visual fidelity; at 1440p, Low yields 147 FPS, making it suitable for esports-style play where frame rate takes priority. The 1080p Low result of 200 FPS is the standout performance metric, but it comes at the cost of reduced detail. For most users, the 1440p Medium or 1080p Medium presets offer the best balance of visual quality and performance, as both maintain averages above 100 FPS with acceptable minimum frame rates.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 5 7400F brings 6 cores and 12 threads from the Zen 4 Raphael architecture, running at a 3.70 GHz base clock and boosting to 4.70 GHz. This configuration delivers a Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 21765 and a single-core score of 3072, placing the processor in the 83rd percentile of all CPUs. The 32 MB shared L3 cache and 83.2 GB/s memory bandwidth provide ample data throughput for gaming workloads, while the 5 nm TSMC process keeps power consumption at a 65 W TDP.

In Lockdown Protocol, the CPU's role becomes apparent when examining frame rates across resolutions. At 1080p Low, the 200 FPS average suggests the CPU can feed the GPU effectively, but the 52.5% drop to 4K Low (95 FPS) indicates the GPU becomes the limiting factor. The CPU's PassMark multi-thread score of 25645 and single-thread score of 3689 support its ability to handle game logic and physics without bottlenecking the graphics card. However, the combo's overall rank of 1709 out of 3714, which is lower than the CPU's 83rd percentile, suggests the processor's potential is not fully realized in this pairing.

The Ryzen 5 7400F's nearest rivals in the CPU benchmark, including the Intel Core i5-14600T and AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 6850H, all score within 0.3% of each other, indicating that processor choice has minimal impact on this game's performance. Instead, the data points to the GPU as the primary determinant: the RX 6750 XT's 71st percentile ranking and its 250 W TDP suggest it operates near its thermal and power limits in demanding scenes. The 6 cores and 12 threads are sufficient for Lockdown Protocol's engine, as evidenced by the consistent frame rates across resolutions, but the GPU's 12 GB VRAM and 192-bit bus are the constraining factors in this combo.
