Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080 resolution, the combo delivers its highest frame rates across all settings. With Low settings, the average FPS is 258, while Medium settings produce 217 FPS with a minimum of 184 and maximum of 249 FPS. High settings yield 189 FPS, and Ultra settings drop to 142 FPS. These numbers show that at 1080p, the GPU is not the limiting factor, as even Ultra settings maintain a frame rate above 140 FPS, which is well above typical 60 Hz display refresh rates.

Moving to 2560x1440 resolution, the average FPS remains high. Low settings produce 224 FPS, Medium settings yield 159 FPS with a minimum of 135 and maximum of 183 FPS, and High settings deliver 139 FPS. Ultra settings at 1440p drop to 104 FPS. The transition from 1080p to 1440p reduces frame rates by approximately 13% at Low settings (258 to 224 FPS) and by 27% at Ultra settings (142 to 104 FPS). This indicates that the GPU is beginning to take on more workload at 1440p, but the performance remains smooth for competitive play.

At 3840x2160 resolution, the frame rates show the most significant drop. Low settings produce 144 FPS, Medium settings yield 103 FPS with a minimum of 87 and maximum of 118 FPS, and High settings deliver 90 FPS. Ultra settings at 4K drop to 67 FPS. The scaling from 1440p to 4K shows a 36% reduction at Low settings (224 to 144 FPS) and a 36% reduction at Ultra settings (104 to 67 FPS). This consistent drop across settings indicates that the GPU is the primary bottleneck at 4K, as the CPU has less impact at this resolution.

Settings Recommendations

For the best experience measured in the data, 2560x1440 with High settings offers an excellent balance of visual quality and performance. The average FPS of 139 at this setting is high enough for smooth gameplay, and the resolution provides a significant visual upgrade over 1080p. The data shows that Ultra settings at 1440p still deliver 104 FPS, which is playable, but High settings provide a 34% performance increase (139 vs 104 FPS) with a minimal visual difference.

At 1080p, Medium settings provide the best experience for high-refresh-rate monitors, as the 217 FPS average exceeds the capabilities of most displays. The minimum FPS of 184 ensures that even in demanding scenes, the frame rate stays above 144 Hz, making this the ideal setting for competitive play. Low settings at 1080p push the frame rate to 258 FPS, but the visual quality reduction may not justify the additional performance for most users.

For 4K gaming, Medium settings are the recommended choice, as they produce 103 FPS with a minimum of 87 FPS. This is the only 4K setting that maintains an average above 100 FPS, ensuring a smooth experience on high-refresh-rate 4K displays. High settings at 4K drop to 90 FPS, which is still playable, but the 14% performance loss (103 vs 90 FPS) may not be worth the slight visual improvement. Ultra settings at 4K are only recommended for those who prioritize visual fidelity over frame rate, as the 67 FPS average is below the 70 FPS threshold for a consistently smooth experience.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 7 5700G provides the processing power for this combo, featuring 8 cores and 16 threads based on the Zen 3 architecture. The CPU has a base clock of 3.80 GHz and a boost clock of 4.60 GHz, with 16 MB of L3 cache. These specifications are sufficient for Lockdown Protocol, as the game’s FPS results show that the CPU does not bottleneck the GPU at lower resolutions.

At 1080p, the CPU’s role is more pronounced, as the GPU is not fully utilized at lower settings. The difference between Low and Ultra settings at 1080p is 116 FPS (258 vs 142 FPS), which suggests that the CPU can keep up with the GPU’s output even at high frame rates. The Ryzen 7 5700G’s benchmark scores support this, with a Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 12,830.5 and a single-core score of 1,494. The CPU’s 3DMark 16-thread score of 6,629 indicates strong multi-threaded performance, which is beneficial for games that utilize multiple cores.

However, the CPU’s performance relative to its rivals shows that it is not a top-tier processor. The Intel Core i9-9900K scores 27,097 in the average benchmark, which is 0.2% higher than the Ryzen 7 5700G’s 27,051. The AMD Ryzen AI 7 445 scores 26,936, which is 0.4% lower. This places the 5700G in a competitive mid-range position, but its 79th percentile ranking means that there are faster CPUs available. In Lockdown Protocol, this does not appear to limit performance, as the FPS results are consistently high across all resolutions and settings.

Resolution Scaling

The FPS drop from 1080p to 4K provides insight into which component is the limiting factor. At Low settings, the average FPS drops from 258 at 1080p to 224 at 1440p and then to 144 at 4K. This represents a 44% reduction from 1080p to 4K. At Ultra settings, the average FPS drops from 142 at 1080p to 104 at 1440p and then to 67 at 4K, a 53% reduction. The larger percentage drop at Ultra settings indicates that the GPU is more heavily burdened at higher visual quality, which is expected.

The scaling pattern shows that the RTX 4070 Ti is the primary bottleneck at 4K. At 1080p, the CPU has more influence, as the GPU can render frames quickly enough that the CPU’s instruction throughput becomes a factor. However, the FPS results at 1080p are so high (above 140 FPS even at Ultra) that the CPU is not a practical limitation for most users. At 1440p, the GPU begins to take on more work, and the FPS drops are more consistent with a GPU-bound scenario.

The data shows that the combo is well-balanced for 1440p gaming, as the FPS at High settings (139) is close to the maximum refresh rate of many gaming monitors. At 4K, the combo can still deliver playable frame rates, but the Ultra setting falls below 70 FPS, which may require adjustments. The 4K Low setting (144 FPS) demonstrates that the GPU has ample headroom when visual effects are reduced, making this a viable option for players who prioritize frame rate over graphics quality.
