Lockdown Protocol

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 7 5700G serves as the processing foundation for this Lockdown Protocol test combo. This eight-core, sixteen-thread Zen 3 processor operates with a base clock of 3.80 GHz and a boost clock of 4.60 GHz. It is built on TSMC's 7 nm process node, which contributes to its 65 W TDP rating. The CPU's cache hierarchy includes 64 KB of L1 per core, 512 KB of L2 per core, and a 16 MB L3 cache. Memory support is dual-channel DDR4 with a bandwidth of 51.2 GB/s.

In synthetic benchmarks, the 5700G demonstrates strong multi-threaded capability. Its Cinebench R23 multi-core score reaches 20755, while the single-core result is 2930. Geekbench results show 8970 multi-core and 2016 single-core. The processor's 3DMark scores scale from 899 in single-thread to 6629 in sixteen-thread tests. The PassMark multithread score is 24419, with a single-thread score of 3283.

The CPU sits at the 83rd percentile among all tested processors. Its average benchmark score of 25626 places it in close competition with several rivals. The AMD Ryzen 7 6800U scores 25706, which is 0.3 percent lower than the 5700G. The Intel Xeon D-2752TER achieves 25532, placing it 0.4 percent behind. The Intel Core 5 210H scores 25490, a 0.5 percent deficit. The AMD Ryzen 5 7640U completes the nearest rival group at 25485, trailing by 0.6 percent.

These CPU results matter for Lockdown Protocol because the game's performance at lower resolutions depends on how quickly the processor can feed the GPU with draw calls and game logic. The 5700G's eight physical cores provide solid headroom for modern FPS titles, though the L3 cache size is smaller than some desktop Zen 3 variants. This architecture choice affects how the CPU handles the game's thread scheduling.

Q: What frame rate does this combo achieve at 1080p Ultra settings?

A: At 1920x1080 with Ultra settings, the measured average FPS is 98.2. Moving to High settings increases this to 133 FPS. Medium settings yield 156.1 FPS, while Low settings produce 216 FPS.

Q: How does the combo perform at 4K resolution?

A: At 3840x2160, the average FPS ranges from 46.1 at Ultra settings to 100 at Low settings. High settings deliver 61.1 FPS, and Medium settings achieve 73 FPS. The 4K Ultra result falls below the 60 FPS threshold for smooth gameplay.

Q: What is the combo's rank among all tested combinations in Lockdown Protocol?

A: This AMD Ryzen 7 5700G with RTX 3070 combination ranks 769th out of 1637 tested combos in Lockdown Protocol. This places it in the upper portion of the tested hardware pool, though not among the top performers.

Q: Does the CPU or GPU become the limiting factor at different resolutions?

A: The data indicates the RTX 3070 becomes the primary limiter at higher resolutions. At 1080p Low settings, the combo achieves 216 FPS, but this drops to 100 FPS at 4K Low settings. The 1080p to 1440p scaling shows a smaller performance drop, suggesting the CPU can still keep pace at those settings.

Resolution Scaling

The measured FPS data reveals a clear pattern of performance scaling across resolutions. At 1920x1080, the combo delivers high frame rates across all settings. Low settings produce 216 FPS, Medium reaches 156.1 FPS, High achieves 133 FPS, and Ultra yields 98.2 FPS. These results indicate the RTX 3070 has substantial performance headroom at this resolution, with the Ryzen 7 5700G adequately feeding the GPU.

Moving to 2560x1440, the frame rates drop noticeably. Low settings produce 157.6 FPS, a 27 percent reduction from 1080p. Medium settings deliver 112.8 FPS, down 27.8 percent. High settings achieve 96.4 FPS, a 27.5 percent decrease. Ultra settings yield 74.2 FPS, a 24.4 percent reduction. This consistent scaling pattern suggests the GPU is becoming more of a factor as pixel count increases, but the CPU still provides sufficient throughput.

At 3840x2160, the performance curve steepens. Low settings produce 100 FPS, a 53.7 percent drop from 1080p. Medium settings deliver 73 FPS, down 53.2 percent. High settings achieve 61.1 FPS, a 54.1 percent reduction. Ultra settings yield 46.1 FPS, a 53.1 percent decrease. The near-uniform percentage drops across settings at 4K indicate the RTX 3070 is the dominant limiting factor at this resolution.

The scaling behavior shows that Lockdown Protocol becomes increasingly GPU-bound as resolution rises. At 1080p, the CPU still has headroom, as evidenced by the 216 FPS Low result. The RTX 3070's 8 GB GDDR6 memory and 448.0 GB/s bandwidth handle the higher resolution workloads, but the GPU's raw compute power becomes the bottleneck at 4K Ultra settings.

How This Combo Ranks

The AMD Ryzen 7 5700G with NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 combination ranks 769th out of 1637 tested combos in Lockdown Protocol. This places the combo in the middle of the tested hardware pool, with 47 percent of combinations performing better and 53 percent performing worse.

This rank reflects the balance between the CPU and GPU components. The Ryzen 7 5700G, while capable, sits at the 83rd percentile among CPUs, meaning 17 percent of tested processors outperform it. The RTX 3070 ranks at the 72nd percentile among GPUs, with 28 percent of GPUs achieving higher average benchmark scores.

The combination's ranking suggests that neither component is a top-tier performer by current standards, but together they form a coherent mid-range setup. In Lockdown Protocol specifically, the combo's performance is adequate for most settings and resolutions, though it struggles to maintain high frame rates at 4K Ultra settings.

The measured FPS results reinforce this ranking. At 1080p, the combo delivers smooth gameplay across all settings, with even Ultra settings exceeding 90 FPS. At 1440p, the combo remains playable, with Ultra settings staying above 70 FPS. At 4K, only Low and Medium settings produce acceptable frame rates for competitive play.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The measured FPS data provides a comprehensive view of this combo's performance in Lockdown Protocol across three resolutions and four settings levels.

At 1920x1080, the combo produces its highest frame rates. Low settings deliver an average of 216 FPS, providing a significant buffer for high-refresh-rate displays. Medium settings reduce this to 156.1 FPS, still well above the 144 FPS threshold. High settings achieve 133 FPS, suitable for most gaming monitors. Ultra settings yield 98.2 FPS, which remains smooth for standard 60 Hz displays but may not fully utilize high-refresh panels.

At 2560x1440, performance remains strong. Low settings produce 157.6 FPS, maintaining excellent responsiveness. Medium settings deliver 112.8 FPS, comfortably above 60 FPS. High settings achieve 96.4 FPS, providing a good balance of visual fidelity and performance. Ultra settings yield 74.2 FPS, which is playable but not ideal for fast-paced competitive play on high-refresh monitors.

At 3840x2160, the combo faces more challenges. Low settings produce 100 FPS, which is a solid result for 4K gaming. Medium settings deliver 73 FPS, maintaining playability. High settings achieve 61.1 FPS, just above the 60 FPS threshold. Ultra settings yield 46.1 FPS, which falls below the standard for smooth gameplay and may require reduced settings for acceptable performance.

The data shows a consistent pattern: the combo performs best at 1080p across all settings, remains capable at 1440p, and requires setting adjustments at 4K to maintain playable frame rates. The RTX 3070's 8 GB memory capacity and 256-bit bus width provide adequate bandwidth for most scenarios, but the GPU's compute limits become apparent at 4K Ultra settings.
