Settings Recommendations

Across all resolutions, Low settings produce the highest average frame rates. At 1080p, Low yields 233.1 FPS, while Medium drops to 202.7, High to 196.8, and Ultra to 173.1. The gap between Low and Medium is 30.4 FPS, while the gap between Medium and Ultra is 29.6 FPS. At 1440p, Low hits 209 FPS, Medium 183.6, High 168, and Ultra 123.9. At 4K, Low averages 172.5 FPS, Medium 126.7, High 108.5, and Ultra 81.7.

For players prioritizing frame rate, Low is the clear choice at every resolution. However, Medium at 1080p still exceeds 200 FPS, and at 1440p it remains above 180 FPS. At 4K, even Ultra stays above 80 FPS, so the preset can be selected based on visual preference without falling below 60 FPS. The data suggests that Medium offers a strong balance between frame rate and quality, particularly at 1080p and 1440p, where the drop from Low is less than 15% (30.4 FPS at 1080p, 25.4 FPS at 1440p). For 4K, Low provides a substantial 45.8 FPS advantage over Medium, making it the recommended choice for high-refresh-rate displays.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 7 5700X3D is an 8-core, 16-thread processor based on Zen 3 architecture, with a base clock of 3.00 GHz and a boost clock of 4.10 GHz. Its 96 MB shared L3 cache is a notable feature. In synthetic benchmarks, it scores 22366 in Cinebench R23 multi-core and 3157 in single-core, placing it in the 82nd percentile of all CPUs. Its average benchmark score of 24673 is nearly identical to the Intel Core i7-1360P (24627, +0.2%) and the AMD Ryzen 5 7600X3D (24605, +0.3%), while trailing the AMD Ryzen AI Max 385 (24811, -0.6%).

In Lockdown Protocol, the CPU's performance is sufficient to drive high frame rates at 1080p, where the average FPS at Low settings reaches 233.1. The 3DMark 16-thread score of 6764 and max-thread score of 6755 indicate strong multi-threaded capability, which may help maintain consistent frame pacing in a fast-paced FPS. The single-thread score of 804 in 3DMark, combined with a boost clock of 4.10 GHz, supports the high frame rates observed at lower resolutions where the GPU is less stressed.

How This Combo Ranks

The combination of the Ryzen 7 5700X3D and RTX 4090 ranks 122nd out of 1637 tested combos in Lockdown Protocol. This places it in the top 8% of all configurations. The rank reflects the measured average FPS across all settings and resolutions. Given that the GPU is in the 91st percentile and the CPU in the 82nd, the combo's position is expected. The data shows that this pairing delivers frame rates well above 60 FPS even at 4K Ultra, which is a strong result for a demanding title. The rank of 122 out of 1637 indicates that it outperforms the vast majority of tested combinations, with only 121 combos achieving higher average frame rates.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 is built on the Ada Lovelace architecture with 24 GB of GDDR6X memory on a 384-bit bus, providing 1.01 TB/s of bandwidth. Its base clock is 2235 MHz and boost clock is 2520 MHz, with memory running at 1313 MHz (21 Gbps effective). The GPU scores 9223 in 3DMark Steel Nomad and 38194 in Passmark G3D, placing it in the 91st percentile of all GPUs. Its average benchmark score of 66473 is slightly below the NVIDIA Tesla T4 (66733, -0.4%) and above the Tesla P40 (66127, +0.5%).

In Lockdown Protocol, the GPU's capabilities are evident: at 4K Ultra, the average FPS is 81.7, and at 1080p Low it reaches 233.1. The 24 GB VRAM and 1.01 TB/s bandwidth are more than sufficient for the game's demands, as evidenced by the high frame rates at all settings. The GPU's 16384 shading units and 128 RT cores contribute to its strong performance, and the 82.58 TFLOPS FP32 throughput supports the high frame rates observed across the resolution range.

The data shows a consistent pattern: Low settings always yield the highest average FPS, followed by Medium, High, and Ultra. At 1080p, the spread from Low to Ultra is 60 FPS (233.1 to 173.1), while at 4K the spread widens to 90.8 FPS (172.5 to 81.7). This indicates that the GPU's workload scales more heavily with settings at higher resolutions.

Resolution Scaling

Comparing 1080p to 4K, the average FPS drops from 233.1 to 172.5 at Low, from 202.7 to 126.7 at Medium, from 196.8 to 108.5 at High, and from 173.1 to 81.7 at Ultra. The reduction is more pronounced at Ultra settings, where the frame rate falls by more than half, while Low settings see a smaller relative drop. This pattern suggests that the GPU becomes the limiting factor as resolution and quality increase.

At 1080p, the CPU's 8-core/16-thread design and 96 MB L3 cache are able to feed the GPU sufficiently, as seen by the relatively small difference between Low and Ultra (60 FPS). At 4K, the gap between Low and Ultra widens to 90.8 FPS, showing that the GPU's workload scales more heavily with settings. The data implies that for 4K gaming, lowering settings from Ultra to High yields a 26.8 FPS increase (81.7 to 108.5), while dropping to Low adds another 64 FPS (108.5 to 172.5). This makes Low the most effective preset for maximizing frame rate at 4K, while Medium offers a compromise at 126.7 FPS.
