Lockdown Protocol

Lockdown Protocol, a 2024 FPS title, has been measured with the AMD Ryzen 7 5700G and AMD Radeon RX 580. The CPU, an 8-core/16-thread Zen 3 part with a 3.80 GHz base and 4.60 GHz boost, sits in the 83rd percentile of all CPUs. The GPU, a Polaris 20 with 8 GB GDDR5 and a 256-bit bus, is in the 53rd percentile. The measured FPS data covers 1080p, 1440p, and 4K across Low, Medium, High, and Ultra settings.

Settings Recommendations

The measured FPS rows show a clear pattern: this combo is playable at 1080p and 1440p only when settings are kept low or medium. At 1080p, Low delivers 86 FPS, Medium 61.7, High 52.9, and Ultra 39.1. For a 60 FPS target, Medium is the highest setting that stays above the line, while Low provides comfortable headroom. At 1440p, only Low reaches 60.8 FPS; Medium drops to 46.3, High to 36.3, and Ultra to 31.5. At 4K, no setting reaches 60 FPS—Low is 37.5, Medium 28.8, High 23.2, and Ultra 21.1. The data suggests that for a smooth experience, 1080p Medium is the best balance of visual quality and frame rate, while 1440p users should stick to Low. 4K is not viable for competitive play, but Low at 4K is the only option that stays above 30 FPS. Ultra settings are not recommended at any resolution, as even at 1080p they produce only 39.1 FPS.

GPU Role

The Radeon RX 580 brings 8 GB of GDDR5 memory on a 256-bit bus, with a bandwidth of 256.0 GB/s. Its base clock is 1257 MHz, boost 1340 MHz, and memory runs at 2000 MHz (8 Gbps effective). The GPU’s compute capability is 6.175 TFLOPS FP32, with a texture rate of 193.0 GTexel/s and a pixel rate of 42.88 GPixel/s. These specifications place it in the 53rd percentile of all GPUs, meaning it is a mid-range part. The measured FPS shows that the GPU is the limiting factor in this combo: at 1080p Low it can push 86 FPS, but at 4K Ultra it falls to 21.1. The 8 GB VRAM is sufficient for 1080p and 1440p, but at 4K the memory bandwidth and raw compute become bottlenecks. The CPU, by contrast, is in the 83rd percentile, with strong multi-threaded scores like 20755 in Cinebench R23 multicore and 2930 in singlecore. This imbalance means the GPU is the primary constraint on frame rate, especially as resolution and settings increase.

FAQ

Q: What is the average FPS at 1080p Medium?

A: The measured average is 61.7 FPS.

Q: How does the CPU compare to its nearest rival?

A: The Ryzen 7 5700G scores 0.4% higher than the Intel Xeon D-2752TER and 0.5% higher than the Intel Core 5 210H, based on average benchmark scores.

Q: What is the combo’s rank among all tested combinations?

A: It ranks 1530 out of 1637 combos, placing it in the lower portion of the database.

Q: What is the GPU’s launch MSRP?

A: The launch MSRP is 229 USD.

Q: What is the average FPS at 4K High?

A: The measured average is 23.2 FPS.

Q: Does the GPU have enough VRAM for 4K?

A: The 8 GB GDDR5 is present, but the measured FPS at 4K (21.1–37.5 depending on settings) indicates that memory bandwidth and compute, not just capacity, are limiting.

How This Combo Ranks

The combo ranks 1530th out of 1637 tested combinations, which is near the bottom of the database. This low rank is consistent with the component percentiles: the CPU is in the 83rd percentile of all CPUs, while the GPU is in the 53rd percentile. The CPU’s nearest rivals include the AMD Ryzen 7 6800U (0.3% lower average score), the Intel Xeon D-2752TER (0.4% lower), the Intel Core 5 210H (0.5% lower), and the AMD Ryzen 5 7640U (0.6% lower). The GPU’s nearest rivals are the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 570 (0% delta), the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 950 (0.1% higher), the AMD Radeon Pro 455 (1.1% higher), and the NVIDIA P106-090 (1.1% lower). The data shows that the CPU is a strong performer relative to its peers, but the GPU is only average, and the combination falls behind because the GPU cannot keep up with the CPU’s capabilities in a demanding FPS title.

Resolution Scaling

The measured FPS drops sharply as resolution increases. For Low settings, the average goes from 86 at 1080p to 60.8 at 1440p and 37.5 at 4K. Medium drops from 61.7 to 46.3 to 28.8. High goes from 52.9 to 36.3 to 23.2. Ultra goes from 39.1 to 31.5 to 21.1. The pattern is consistent: each step from 1080p to 1440p to 4K reduces FPS by roughly a third to a half, depending on the setting. This scaling indicates that the GPU is the limiting component. The CPU’s strong single-thread and multi-thread scores (e.g., 2930 in Cinebench R23 singlecore, 20755 in multicore) suggest it can handle the game’s logic at any resolution, but the RX 580’s compute and memory bandwidth are insufficient to maintain frame rates as pixel count rises. At 4K, even Low settings produce only 37.5 FPS, which is below the 60 FPS target for competitive play.

The table shows that 1080p Low is the only configuration that exceeds 80 FPS, and 1080p Medium is the only one that stays above 60 while offering higher visual quality. At 1440p, Low is the sole setting that reaches 60 FPS. At 4K, all settings fall below 40 FPS, with Ultra at 21.1 being the lowest. The data indicates that this combo is best suited for 1080p gaming with medium settings, or 1440p with low settings. For 4K, the frame rates are too low for smooth play, and even the lowest settings cannot reach 60 FPS. The GPU’s 8 GB VRAM and 256 GB/s bandwidth are adequate for 1080p and 1440p, but the compute power (6.175 TFLOPS) is not enough to handle 4K in this title. The CPU’s high percentile (83rd) and strong benchmark scores (e.g., 20755 in Cinebench R23 multicore) suggest that upgrading the GPU would yield significant FPS gains, especially at higher resolutions.
