How This Combo Ranks

The data places this hardware pairing at 1469th out of 1637 tested combinations in Lockdown Protocol. This ranking is notably low, meaning that roughly 90% of other tested systems deliver better performance in this specific title. The rank reflects the balance between the CPU and GPU, and in this case, the GPU's limitations are the primary factor dragging the overall score down. The CPU's 83rd percentile ranking among all processors indicates it is a capable component, but its strengths are not fully utilized because the GTX 1660 SUPER cannot keep pace at higher graphical loads.

Benchmark results show that the system is most competitive at 1920x1080. Here, even the High preset yields an average of 76.1 FPS, which is playable. However, the ranking suggests that for a game like Lockdown Protocol, which likely benefits from higher and more consistent frame rates, this combo will struggle to provide a premium experience. The gap between this system and the top performers is substantial, and users should expect to make significant compromises in visual quality to achieve smooth gameplay.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 7 5700G is an 8-core, 16-thread processor based on the Zen 3 architecture, codenamed Cezanne. It operates with a base clock of 3.80 GHz and a boost clock of 4.60 GHz. This processing power is reflected in its benchmark scores, such as a Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 20755 and a single-core score of 2930. In synthetic tests, it scores 6629 in 3DMark with 16 threads and 899 in single-threaded tests, demonstrating robust multi-threading capabilities that are beneficial for modern game engines.

In Lockdown Protocol, the CPU's role is to handle game logic, physics, and the numerous entities typical of an FPS. The data suggests the 5700G is more than adequate for this task. The PassMark multithread score of 24419 and the Geekbench multi-core score of 8970 indicate that the processor will not be the limiting factor in most scenarios. However, the CPU's performance becomes less relevant when the GPU is the bottleneck. At 4K Ultra settings, the system produces only 24.5 FPS, a figure that is constrained by the graphics card. The CPU's strong single-core performance, evidenced by a PassMark single-thread score of 3283, helps ensure that frame pacing remains consistent even when the GPU is under heavy load.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The measured FPS data reveals a clear performance hierarchy based on resolution and settings. At 1920x1080, the system performs best, starting with an average of 122.1 FPS on Low settings. This drops to 85.4 FPS on Medium, 76.1 FPS on High, and finally 55 FPS on Ultra. This suggests that the GPU is the limiting factor, as the frame rate scales directly with the graphical load.

Moving to 2560x1440, the averages decrease significantly. The Low preset delivers 88.8 FPS, which is still playable, but the Medium setting drops to 65.1 FPS. The High preset manages 57.5 FPS, while the Ultra preset falls to 41.5 FPS. These numbers indicate that 1440p requires more from the GPU, and the GTX 1660 SUPER begins to struggle with higher settings.

At 3840x2160, the performance is largely unsuitable for smooth gameplay. The Low preset averages 56.3 FPS, which is the only playable option at this resolution. The Medium preset drops to 42.6 FPS, High to 38.8 FPS, and Ultra to a demanding 24.5 FPS. The data shows that this combination is not designed for 4K gaming in Lockdown Protocol, as even the lowest settings push the GPU to its limits. The difference between Low and Ultra at 4K is 31.8 FPS, highlighting the significant impact of settings on performance.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1660 SUPER is a Turing-architecture GPU built on a 12 nm process. It features 6 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 192-bit bus, providing a memory bandwidth of 336.0 GB/s. The GPU has a base clock of 1530 MHz and a boost clock of 1785 MHz, with memory clocked at 1750 MHz (14 Gbps effective). These specifications result in a PassMark G3D score of 12699 and a 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 1278.

In Lockdown Protocol, the GPU is the primary determinant of performance. The benchmark results show that the 6 GB VRAM is sufficient for the workloads tested, but the raw processing power is limited. The GPU's FP32 performance is 5.027 TFLOPS, which is modest by modern standards. This is reflected in the frame rates, particularly at higher resolutions. The data indicates that the GTX 1660 SUPER is the bottleneck across all settings, as frame rates scale more predictably with resolution and quality than with CPU load.

The GPU's performance relative to its peers is tight. It has an average benchmark score of 14286, which is nearly identical to the AMD Radeon RX Vega 11 (14314, a -0.2% delta). This suggests that users should not expect significant differences in performance when compared to these similarly positioned cards. For Lockdown Protocol, the GPU's capabilities are best utilized at 1080p with Medium or High settings, where it can deliver average frame rates between 76.1 and 85.4 FPS. Pushing beyond this, especially to 4K, results in a substantial performance drop that makes the game less enjoyable.
