GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 SUPER is built on the Turing architecture with a 12 nm process node, featuring 2176 shading units, 136 texture mapping units, and 64 raster operation units. It carries 8 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 256-bit bus, delivering 448.0 GB/s of memory bandwidth. The GPU's base clock is 1470 MHz with a boost clock of 1650 MHz, while memory runs at 1750 MHz (14 Gbps effective). These specifications place the card in the 63rd percentile of all GPUs, with an average benchmark score of 19774.

In Lockdown Protocol, the GPU's role becomes increasingly evident as resolution and settings escalate. At 1080p High settings, the combo achieves 99.4 FPS, but pushing to Ultra at the same resolution drops the average to 76.7 FPS. The gap between Low and Ultra at 1080p is substantial — 160.7 FPS versus 76.7 FPS — indicating that the RTX 2060 SUPER's compute and memory resources are heavily taxed by the game's higher quality presets. The 8 GB VRAM capacity and 448.0 GB/s bandwidth appear adequate for 1080p, but the data shows a clear performance ceiling as settings rise.

The Tensor cores (272) and RT cores (34) present on this Turing GPU may contribute to enhanced visual features in Lockdown Protocol, though the measured FPS data does not isolate these effects. What is clear is that the GPU's 7.181 TFLOPS of FP32 performance and 105.6 GPixel/s pixel rate establish a baseline that allows playable frame rates at mid-range settings, but the card's end-of-life production status and 63rd percentile ranking suggest it struggles with the most demanding configurations.

Resolution Scaling

Resolution scaling reveals a pronounced GPU bottleneck as pixel count increases. At 1920x1080 High, the combo delivers 99.4 FPS, which drops to 72.2 FPS at 2560x1440 High, and further to 44.9 FPS at 3840x2160 High. This represents a 55% reduction from 1080p to 4K at the same settings. The pattern persists across all quality presets: Low settings go from 160.7 FPS at 1080p to 116.7 FPS at 1440p to 76 FPS at 4K; Medium goes from 110.8 to 85 to 56.2; Ultra goes from 76.7 to 56.3 to 33.6.

The scaling behavior indicates that the RTX 2060 SUPER is the primary limiting component at higher resolutions. The 4K Ultra result of 33.6 FPS is particularly telling — this is below the threshold for smooth gameplay in a fast-paced FPS. The GPU's 448.0 GB/s memory bandwidth and 8 GB VRAM capacity are likely saturated at 4K, especially with Ultra settings. Conversely, the relatively small performance gap between 1080p and 1440p at Low settings (160.7 vs 116.7 FPS) suggests that at lower quality presets, the CPU begins to play a more significant role, as the GPU has more headroom to render frames quickly.

The data shows diminishing returns as resolution increases: the absolute FPS drop from 1440p to 4K (27.3 FPS at High) is smaller than from 1080p to 1440p (27.2 FPS at High), but the percentage loss is steeper at higher resolutions. This nonlinear scaling is consistent with a GPU that becomes progressively more bandwidth-constrained as pixel throughput demands grow.

How This Combo Ranks

The AMD Ryzen 7 5700 + NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 SUPER combination ranks 1169th out of 1637 tested combos in Lockdown Protocol, placing it in the 71st percentile of all tested systems from the bottom. This ranking reflects a pairing that sits in the mid-to-lower tier of the database's tested configurations. The CPU alone performs better relative to its peers — the Ryzen 7 5700 is in the 84th percentile of all CPUs — while the GPU is in the 63rd percentile of all GPUs. The combo's overall rank is dragged down by the GPU's comparatively weaker standing.

The measured FPS data supports this interpretation. At 1080p Low, the combo achieves 160.7 FPS, which is a respectable result for a system ranked 1169th. However, at 4K Ultra, the 33.6 FPS average is near the bottom of what would be considered playable. The rank of 1169 out of 1637 suggests that most tested combos deliver better overall performance, likely due to more powerful GPUs paired with comparable or better CPUs. The Ryzen 7 5700's 8 cores and 16 threads provide a solid foundation, but the RTX 2060 SUPER's 8 GB VRAM and 7.181 TFLOPS of FP32 performance limit the system's ceiling in this game.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 7 5700 is an 8-core, 16-thread processor based on the Zen 3 architecture (Cezanne codename), manufactured on TSMC's 7 nm process. It runs at a base clock of 3.70 GHz and boosts up to 4.60 GHz, with a 65 W TDP. The CPU features 64 KB of L1 cache per core, 512 KB of L2 cache per core, and 16 MB of L3 cache. Memory support includes DDR4 with dual-channel configuration and 51.2 GB/s bandwidth. The chip is in the 84th percentile of all CPUs, with an average benchmark score of 27220.

In Lockdown Protocol, the CPU's role is most apparent at lower resolutions and settings where the GPU is not the bottleneck. At 1080p Low, the combo achieves 160.7 FPS — the highest measured result — which suggests the Ryzen 7 5700's 16 threads can feed frames quickly when the GPU has spare capacity. The 3dmark results show strong multi-threaded performance: 6628 in the 16-thread test and 6617 at max threads, while single-thread scores are 901. Cinebench numbers reinforce this: R23 multicore hits 20655, while single-core reaches 2916. Passmark multithread scores 24303, with single-thread at 3296.

The CPU's 0.7-1.2% advantage over its nearest rivals (Intel Core i9-9900K, Core i7-12700H, Core i7-1370P, and AMD Ryzen AI 5 340) indicates it is closely matched with those processors in synthetic workloads. However, in Lockdown Protocol, the CPU's contribution is overshadowed by the GPU at higher resolutions. The gap between 1080p and 4K results at the same settings (e.g., 99.4 vs 44.9 FPS at High) is far larger than any CPU-bound variation would explain. The 3dmark 2-thread score of 1762 suggests decent single-thread responsiveness, which is important for game logic and physics in an FPS title. The processor's 3.70 GHz base and 4.60 GHz boost clocks provide adequate frequency headroom, while the 16 MB L3 cache helps maintain data locality for gaming workloads. The CPU's 65 W TDP and 7 nm process node indicate efficient operation, but its AM4 socket and DDR4 memory support place it in a previous-generation platform context.
