Lockdown Protocol

This entry documents measured Lockdown Protocol performance for the AMD Ryzen 5 7600 paired with the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1070. Lockdown Protocol is an FPS with a measured data set, and this combination was tested at three resolutions with four settings. The CPU launch MSRP is $229; the GPU launch MSRP is 379 USD.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 5 7600 is a 6-core, 12-thread desktop processor from the 7000 series, built on Zen 4 architecture with the Raphael codename. It uses a 5 nm process from TSMC and fits the AMD Socket AM5. The processor runs a 3.80 GHz base clock and a 5.10 GHz boost clock. Its cache layout includes 64 KB of L1 and 1 MB of L2 per core, with 32 MB of shared L3 cache. Memory support is DDR5 over a dual-channel interface with 83.2 GB/s of bandwidth.

For a game like Lockdown Protocol, the single-thread results are relevant. The CPU scores 999 in 3DMark single-thread, 3246 in Cinebench R23 single-core, and 3910 in PassMark single-thread. Multi-threaded headroom is also present: 6499 in 3DMark 16-thread, 6503 in 3DMark max-thread, 22992 in Cinebench R23 multi-core, and 27058 in PassMark multithread. The CPU sits at the 83rd percentile of all CPUs, with an average benchmark score of 26617. Its nearest synthetic rivals are AMD Ryzen 7 5800X3D at 26574 with a deltaPct of 0.2, Intel Core i9-12900HK at 26672 with a deltaPct of -0.2, AMD EPYC 8024P at 26555 with a deltaPct of 0.2, and Intel Core i9-11900K at 26546 with a deltaPct of 0.3. These deltaPct values place the Ryzen 5 7600 within 0.3% of all four nearest rivals, meaning the processor’s synthetic standing is stable and high.

In the measured Lockdown Protocol rows, this CPU is paired with a GTX 1070. The combination reaches 130.4 FPS average at 1920x1080 Low, which indicates the CPU can deliver high frame counts when the GPU is not heavily loaded. Given the CPU’s 83rd percentile ranking and its strong single-thread scores, the processor is not the limiting component in most of the measured settings.

How This Combo Ranks

The Lockdown Protocol measured combo list ranks this pairing 1403rd out of 1637 tested combos. That rank sits below the majority of the pool, and it reflects the complete system rather than the CPU alone. The contrast between component percentiles is useful here: the CPU is at the 83rd percentile of all CPUs, while the GPU is at the 51st percentile of all GPUs.

The GTX 1070 has an average benchmark score of 12331. Its nearest GPU rivals are NVIDIA Quadro K4200 at 12241 with a deltaPct of 0.7, NVIDIA GeForce GTX 880M at 12490 with a deltaPct of -1.3, NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650 SUPER at 12504 with a deltaPct of -1.4, and NVIDIA Tesla K20Xm at 12547 with a deltaPct of -1.7. These scores are tightly clustered around the GTX 1070, reinforcing that the GPU is a middle-of-the-pack part in synthetic benchmarks.

The in-game rank of 1403 out of 1637 aligns with that mid-pack GPU position. The CPU is not the reason the combo ranks low; the GPU’s 51st percentile standing and the measured FPS data make the graphics card the more modest half of the pairing.

Resolution Scaling

The measured FPS rows show a uniform loss when moving from 1920x1080 to 3840x2160. At Low settings, average FPS moves from 130.4 at 1920x1080 to 97.5 at 2560x1440 and then to 59.5 at 3840x2160. At Medium, the progression is 91.1, 69.9, and 45.7. At High, it is 79.2, 56.5, and 35.5. At Ultra, it is 61.4, 42.6, and 31.1.

Every preset follows the same direction: higher resolution reduces the average FPS substantially at each step. The 4K result is always far below the 1080p result, and the 1440p result is always between them. This pattern is consistent with a GPU-bound workload as resolution increases. The CPU’s 83rd percentile standing and strong single-thread benchmarks support that interpretation; a CPU-limited pairing would not be expected to show this degree of resolution sensitivity. The data points to the GTX 1070 as the component that determines the upper frame rate at higher resolutions.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The measured averages are listed below. The data set contains average FPS values only; no minimum or maximum FPS values are present.

|------------|----------|-------------|

| 1920x1080 | Low | 130.4 |

| 1920x1080 | Medium | 91.1 |

| 1920x1080 | High | 79.2 |

| 1920x1080 | Ultra | 61.4 |

| 2560x1440 | Low | 97.5 |

| 2560x1440 | Medium | 69.9 |

| 2560x1440 | High | 56.5 |

| 2560x1440 | Ultra | 42.6 |

| 3840x2160 | Low | 59.5 |

| 3840x2160 | Medium | 45.7 |

| 3840x2160 | High | 35.5 |

| 3840x2160 | Ultra | 31.1 |

At every resolution, the order is consistent: Low produces the highest average, followed by Medium, High, and Ultra. At 1920x1080, all four presets stay near or above 61.4 average FPS. At 2560x1440, Low and Medium remain above 69.9, while High and Ultra fall to 56.5 and 42.6. At 3840x2160, only Low stays near 59.5, with Medium, High, and Ultra dropping to 45.7, 35.5, and 31.1.

Settings Recommendations

Using only the measured average FPS rows, the recommended preset depends on resolution. At 1920x1080, all four presets average at least 61.4, so the choice is between frame-rate headroom and visual tier. Low produces 130.4, Medium produces 91.1, High produces 79.2, and Ultra produces 61.4. For the highest visual tier while keeping an average above 61.4, Ultra is viable.

At 2560x1440, Low produces 97.5 and Medium produces 69.9, while High drops to 56.5 and Ultra drops to 42.6. Medium is the highest preset that keeps a clear advantage over the next tier in the measured rows. Low remains an option for maximum frame rate, but Medium offers a strong combination of a 69.9 average and higher settings than Low.

At 3840x2160, Low is the only preset with a 59.5 average. Medium, High, and Ultra fall to 45.7, 35.5, and 31.1, so Low is the recommended preset for 4K. The absence of minimum and maximum FPS data means these recommendations rely only on average FPS, but the measured rows consistently favor Low at 4K, Medium at 1440p, and either Ultra or Low at 1080p depending on whether visual detail or frame rate is prioritized.
