The scaling from 1080p Low to 4K Ultra shows a dramatic 182 FPS drop, from 258 to 76 FPS. This represents a 71% reduction in average frame rate across the most extreme settings and resolution combination.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5080 is the dominant component in this combo, featuring 16 GB of GDDR7 memory on a 256-bit bus. The memory operates at 1875 MHz with 30 Gbps effective speed, providing a bandwidth of 960.0 GB/s. This high bandwidth is critical for feeding the 10752 shading units at the card's boost clock of 2617 MHz.

The GPU's memory capacity of 16 GB is more than sufficient for Lockdown Protocol at any resolution. The game's asset streaming at 4K Ultra, which produces the lowest measured FPS of 76, does not appear to be limited by memory capacity. The 960.0 GB/s bandwidth ensures that texture data can be transferred quickly, even at high resolutions.

The RTX 5080's 84 RT cores and 336 tensor cores support advanced rendering features, though the measured data does not specify whether ray tracing or DLSS is enabled. The FP32 performance of 56.28 TFLOPS provides substantial raw compute power. At 4K High, the combo achieves 101 FPS, indicating that the GPU is handling the rendering load efficiently.

The 360W TDP and dual-slot design suggest this is a high-power component, and the suggested PSU of 750W reflects its power requirements. The GPU's boost clock of 2617 MHz is 14% above its base clock of 2295 MHz, indicating good thermal headroom in the measured scenarios.

The GPU's 87th percentile ranking among all GPUs and its 0.6% lead over the AMD Radeon 8060S in average benchmarks position it as a high-end performer. The 2.2% deficit to the AMD Radeon RX 9070 GRE is minor and does not meaningfully impact game performance at the measured settings.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 7 5700G provides 8 cores and 16 threads based on the Zen 3 architecture, codenamed Cezanne. The processor operates at a base clock of 3.80 GHz and a boost clock of 4.60 GHz, with a 65W TDP. The 16 MB of L3 cache and dual-channel DDR4 memory support with 51.2 GB/s bandwidth are adequate for feeding the RTX 5080.

The CPU's performance in synthetic benchmarks shows a balanced profile. Its Cinebench R23 multicore score of 12830.5 and single-core score of 1494 indicate solid multi-threaded and single-threaded capabilities. The Geekbench multicore score of 9950 and single-core score of 1894 align with its 79th percentile ranking.

In Lockdown Protocol, the CPU's role is primarily to maintain frame pacing and handle game logic. The measured FPS data shows that at 1080p Low, the combo reaches 258 FPS, which is likely approaching the CPU's limit for this game engine. The relatively small difference between 1080p Low (258 FPS) and 1440p Low (233 FPS) suggests that the CPU remains a significant factor at lower resolutions.

The 5700G's nearest rival, the Intel Core i9-9900K, scores 27097 in average benchmarks, a 0.2% difference. This indicates that the 5700G's 8-core, 16-thread configuration is competitive with Intel's flagship from the same era. The Ryzen 7 5700G's 16 MB L3 cache is smaller than some competitors, but the Zen 3 architecture's efficiency compensates for this.

The processor's integrated Radeon Vega 8 graphics are irrelevant in this configuration, as the RTX 5080 handles all rendering. The CPU's PCIe Gen 3 interface, with 16 lanes, provides sufficient bandwidth for the RTX 5080, though the GPU supports PCIe 5.0. This does not appear to cause a bottleneck, as the measured FPS figures are consistently high.

Resolution Scaling

The measured data shows how the combo's performance scales from 1080p to 4K. At Low settings, the frame rate drops from 258 FPS at 1080p to 233 FPS at 1440p (a 10% reduction) and then to 163 FPS at 4K (a 37% reduction from 1440p). The total drop from 1080p to 4K is 95 FPS, or 37%.

At Medium settings, the frame rate drops from 227 FPS at 1080p to 180 FPS at 1440p (a 21% reduction) and then to 116 FPS at 4K (a 36% reduction from 1440p). The total drop is 111 FPS, or 49%.

At High settings, the frame rate drops from 214 FPS at 1080p to 157 FPS at 1440p (a 27% reduction) and then to 101 FPS at 4K (a 36% reduction from 1440p). The total drop is 113 FPS, or 53%.

At Ultra settings, the frame rate drops from 160 FPS at 1080p to 118 FPS at 1440p (a 26% reduction) and then to 76 FPS at 4K (a 36% reduction from 1440p). The total drop is 84 FPS, or 53%.

The pattern reveals that the transition from 1080p to 1440p has a variable impact depending on settings, ranging from 10% at Low to 27% at High. However, the transition from 1440p to 4K is remarkably consistent at approximately 36-37% across all settings. This consistency suggests that at 4K, the GPU becomes the primary limiting factor, with the pixel count driving the frame rate reduction regardless of the quality preset.

The 1080p to 1440p scaling shows a different behavior. At Low settings, the 10% drop indicates that the CPU is still capable of maintaining high frame rates, and the GPU has sufficient headroom. At Medium and High, the 21-27% drops suggest a more balanced load between CPU and GPU. The Ultra preset's 26% drop at 1440p indicates that the GPU is becoming more stressed, but the CPU is not yet fully saturated.

The data indicates that the combo is CPU-limited at 1080p Low, where 258 FPS approaches the practical limit for this processor. As resolution increases, the load shifts to the GPU, and by 4K, the RTX 5080's rendering capabilities determine the frame rate. The 76 FPS at 4K Ultra represents the GPU's limit under maximum load, while the 163 FPS at 4K Low shows the GPU's raw rasterization performance when visual effects are minimized.
