Lockdown Protocol

# Lockdown Protocol with AMD Ryzen 7 5700G + NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti SUPER

The AMD Ryzen 7 5700G paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti SUPER delivers a remarkably consistent experience across Lockdown Protocol’s resolution spectrum, with the data revealing a system that scales predictably from high-refresh 1080p gaming to solid 4K performance. The measured FPS rows show this combo ranked 530th out of 3714 tested combinations, placing it in the top 14.3% of all configurations — a strong showing that reflects the balance between the 8-core Zen 3 processor and the Ada Lovelace GPU. What stands out immediately is how the frame rate curve behaves: the gap between Low and Ultra settings widens dramatically as resolution drops, hinting at where the bottleneck shifts between the CPU and GPU.

Resolution Scaling

The resolution scaling pattern in Lockdown Protocol tells a clear story about component balance. At 3840x2160, the combo produces 145 FPS on Low, 103 FPS on Medium, 90 FPS on High, and 68 FPS on Ultra. Dropping to 2560x1440, those numbers jump to 225 FPS on Low, 160 FPS on Medium, 140 FPS on High, and 105 FPS on Ultra. At 1920x1080, the ceiling rises further: 258 FPS on Low, 218 FPS on Medium, 191 FPS on High, and 143 FPS on Ultra.

The scaling from 1080p to 4K is steepest at Low settings — 258 FPS down to 145 FPS, a 43.8% reduction — while at Ultra settings the drop is from 143 FPS to 68 FPS, a 52.4% reduction. This inverted pattern is telling: at Low settings, the GPU has plenty of headroom and the CPU becomes the limiting factor, compressing the gap between resolutions. At Ultra settings, the GPU is more fully utilized, so the resolution penalty becomes more pronounced. The data suggests that at 1080p Low, the Ryzen 7 5700G’s 8 cores and 16 threads are the primary constraint, while at 4K Ultra, the RTX 4070 Ti SUPER’s 16 GB of GDDR6X memory and 672.3 GB/s bandwidth are doing the heavy lifting.

Interesting to note: the Medium preset at each resolution shows the tightest min-to-max FPS spread — 88 to 119 at 4K, 136 to 184 at 1440p, and 186 to 251 at 1080p. This consistency implies that Medium is where the system’s components are most evenly matched, avoiding the extreme CPU-bound scenarios of Low and the GPU-bound scenarios of Ultra.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 7 5700G brings 8 cores and 16 threads based on the Zen 3 architecture (Cezanne), with a base clock of 3.80 GHz and boost up to 4.60 GHz. Its benchmark profile shows a 3DMark single-thread score of 899 and a max-thread score of 6627, while Cinebench R23 results are 1494 single-core and 12830.5 multi-core. These numbers place the CPU at the 79th percentile among all processors, with an average benchmark score of 27051.

In Lockdown Protocol, the CPU’s influence is most visible at 1080p Low, where the combo hits 258 FPS — the highest measured figure in the dataset. This suggests the game engine can leverage the 16 threads effectively, but the single-thread performance (899 in 3DMark single-thread, 3283 in PassMark single-thread) may cap the absolute ceiling. Compared to its nearest rivals, the 5700G sits within 0.6% of the Intel Core i7-1370P (26900 avg score) and 0.4% of the AMD Ryzen AI 7 445 (26936 avg score), while trailing the Intel Core i9-9900K (27097 avg score) by just 0.2% and the Intel Core i5-14400T (27166 avg score) by 0.4%. These are negligible differences, indicating the 5700G’s core count and clocks are competitive for this game’s CPU demands.

The 16 MB of L3 cache and 51.2 GB/s memory bandwidth appear sufficient for Lockdown Protocol’s scene complexity, as the frame rates remain high even at 1440p High (140 FPS). The CPU’s 65 W TDP also suggests it runs efficiently, though the data does not include temperature or power measurements to confirm thermal behavior during extended sessions.

Settings Recommendations

Based on the measured FPS rows, the Medium preset offers the best balance of visual quality and frame rate consistency across all three resolutions. At 1080p Medium, the combo delivers 218 FPS with a min of 186 and max of 251 — a 65 FPS spread that indicates stable performance. At 1440p Medium, 160 FPS with a 136-184 range keeps the experience well above the 144 Hz refresh threshold common in competitive gaming. Even at 4K Medium, 103 FPS with an 88-119 range remains playable for fast-paced FPS action.

The Low preset maximizes frame rates but sacrifices visual fidelity — 258 FPS at 1080p and 225 FPS at 1440p are excellent for competitive play, yet the lack of min/max data for Low settings means frame pacing is unverified. High settings provide a middle ground: 191 FPS at 1080p and 140 FPS at 1440p, but the 4K High result of 90 FPS dips below the Medium preset’s consistency. Ultra settings are best reserved for slower-paced gameplay or screenshots, as 143 FPS at 1080p and 68 FPS at 4K show the largest resolution penalty.

For players prioritizing competitive performance, the 1440p Medium setting appears optimal — it offers 160 FPS average, which comfortably exceeds most high-refresh monitors, while maintaining a tighter min-max spread than Low or High presets.

How This Combo Ranks

The combo’s rank of 530 out of 3714 tested configurations places it in the 85.7th percentile of all tested combos in Lockdown Protocol. This is a strong result, though not top-tier — the data suggests that higher-ranked combos likely pair newer CPUs with this same GPU or use higher-end GPUs with similar processors. The GPU’s percentile of 76 among all graphics cards and the CPU’s percentile of 79 indicate both components are above-average but not elite in their respective categories.

The rank implies that this combo will handle Lockdown Protocol at high settings with ease across most resolutions, but players seeking absolute maximum frame rates at 1080p might benefit from a CPU with higher single-thread performance. The 5700G’s nearest rivals — all within 0.6% — suggest that CPU choice matters little in this game once you have 8 cores and a 3.8+ GHz boost clock, making the GPU the more critical differentiator for ranking.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 3840x2160, the combo produces the following average FPS by preset: Low 145, Medium 103, High 90, Ultra 68. The Medium preset includes the only min/max data at this resolution: 88 min and 119 max.

At 2560x1440, the results improve substantially: Low 225, Medium 160, High 140, Ultra 105. Again, Medium has the only min/max data: 136 min and 184 max.

At 1920x1080, the combo reaches its peak: Low 258, Medium 218, High 191, Ultra 143. Medium shows a min of 186 and max of 251.

The pattern across all resolutions shows Low settings delivering roughly 1.8-2.5x the frame rate of Ultra settings, with Medium consistently landing between High and Low in a non-linear fashion. For example, at 1440p, the progression from Low to Medium to High to Ultra is 225, 160, 140, 105 — a fairly even spacing of 65, 20, and 35 FPS drops. At 1080p, the spacing is 40, 27, and 48 FPS, showing that the transition from High to Ultra is the steepest penalty.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti SUPER is built on the Ada Lovelace architecture with 8448 shading units, 264 texture mapping units, and 96 ROPs, operating at a base clock of 2340 MHz and boost of 2610 MHz. Its 16 GB of GDDR6X memory on a 256-bit bus delivers 672.3 GB/s of bandwidth, which is crucial for Lockdown Protocol’s 4K performance. The GPU’s benchmark scores include a 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 result of 5569 and a PassMark G3D score of 31811, placing it at the 76th percentile among all GPUs.

The GPU’s role becomes evident when comparing resolution scaling. At 1080p Low, the 258 FPS result is likely CPU-limited, as the GPU’s compute capability — 44.10 TFLOPS FP32 — is far beyond what a 1080p Low preset demands. At 4K Ultra, the 68 FPS result reflects the GPU working harder, though the 16 GB memory capacity ensures no VRAM-related drops. The GPU’s nearest rivals show it within 1.9% of the NVIDIA TITAN RTX (31676 avg score) and 0.4% of the NVIDIA Quadro M5000 (31206 avg score), suggesting the 4070 Ti SUPER is well-positioned for this game’s graphics load.

The GPU’s ray tracing cores (66) and tensor cores (264) may contribute to visual effects in Lockdown Protocol, though the measured data does not isolate RT or DLSS performance. The 285 W TDP and 600 W suggested PSU indicate this is a power-hungry component, but no power consumption data is available in the measurements to assess efficiency under load.
