GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070, built on the Ada Lovelace architecture with a 5 nm process from TSMC, brings 29.15 TFLOPS of FP32 compute to Lockdown Protocol. The GPU's 5,888 shading units, 184 texture mapping units, and 64 raster operations pipelines handle the game's geometry and effects efficiently. The measured results demonstrate that the RTX 4070's 12 GB VRAM buffer is sufficient across all tested settings, as frame rates scale predictably with resolution and quality changes.

The core clocks operate at 1920 MHz base and boost to 2475 MHz, while memory runs at 1313 MHz with 21 Gbps effective speed. The 504.2 GB/s memory bandwidth proves adequate for Lockdown Protocol's texture streaming demands. At 3840x2160, the GPU shows its limits: High settings produce 78.4 FPS, Medium 85.6 FPS, and Ultra drops to 59.6 FPS. The 26.3 FPS gap between Medium and Ultra at 4K suggests the higher preset introduces effects that stress the GPU's 158.4 GPixel/s pixel fill rate.

The RTX 4070's ray tracing cores (46) and tensor cores (184) are present but the measured data doesn't isolate their impact on Lockdown Protocol. The GPU's Passmark G3D score of 26,927 places it at the 81st percentile among all GPUs. Its average benchmark score of 37,283 sits 0.6% below the AMD Radeon RX Vega 56 and 1.9% below the NVIDIA GeForce MX570 A in the nearest rival comparisons, though those rival deltas are within normal run-to-run variance. The GPU's 200 W TDP and dual-slot design with a 240 mm length make it a practical fit for most desktop builds.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 7 5800XT, a Vermeer-based Zen 3 processor on TSMC's 7 nm node, provides 8 cores and 16 threads with a 3.80 GHz base clock and 4.80 GHz boost clock. The 32 MB L3 cache and dual-channel DDR4 memory support with 51.2 GB/s bandwidth deliver solid performance for game logic and physics. The CPU's 105 W TDP and unlocked multiplier on Socket AM4 make it a versatile pairing for the RTX 4070.

Benchmark results show strong single-thread and multithread capability: 3,359 in Cinebench R23 single-core and 23,794 in multicore, plus 959 in 3DMark single-thread and 7,683 in 3DMark 16-thread tests. The Passmark single-thread score of 3,538 and physics score of 1,348 indicate the CPU can keep up with the GPU in frame generation. The 86th percentile ranking among all CPUs, with an average benchmark score of 29,774, places it nearly even with the AMD Ryzen 7 6800HS (0.3% lower) and AMD Ryzen 7 7840H (0.3% lower).

In Lockdown Protocol, the CPU's role becomes evident at lower resolutions where frame rates climb. At 1920x1080 Low settings, the combo reaches 261.9 FPS, and even at 2560x1440 Low it maintains 189.7 FPS. These high frame rates suggest the 5800XT's 4.80 GHz boost clock provides sufficient single-thread performance to avoid bottlenecking the RTX 4070. The 3DMark 2-thread score of 1,879 and 4-thread score of 3,603 indicate responsive scaling for the game's thread usage patterns.

Settings Recommendations

The measured FPS data provides clear guidance for optimal settings at each resolution. At 3840x2160, High settings deliver 78.4 FPS, which is the best quality-to-performance balance; Medium offers only 7.2 FPS more (85.6 FPS), while Ultra drops below 60 FPS to 59.6 FPS. For smooth 4K gameplay, High is the recommended preset.

At 2560x1440, the choice depends on preference. High settings produce 115.7 FPS, Medium 136.8 FPS, and Low 189.7 FPS. The 21.1 FPS difference between High and Medium is noticeable but not dramatic, making High the recommended preset for visual quality. Players prioritizing maximum frame rates can use Medium without significant visual compromise.

At 1920x1080, all settings exceed 119.9 FPS. Ultra delivers 119.9 FPS, High 160 FPS, Medium 187.4 FPS, and Low 261.9 FPS. For competitive play, Medium offers the best balance at 187.4 FPS. High at 160 FPS remains excellent for most users, while Ultra's 119.9 FPS is still smooth but sacrifices 40.1 FPS relative to High for marginal visual gains.

The data shows diminishing returns beyond High settings at all resolutions. The step from High to Ultra costs 18.8 FPS at 4K (78.4 to 59.6), 24.6 FPS at 1440p (115.7 to 91.1), and 40.1 FPS at 1080p (160 to 119.9). Medium settings consistently deliver higher frame rates with modest visual reductions, making High the universally recommended preset for this combo.

How This Combo Ranks

This AMD Ryzen 7 5800XT + NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 configuration ranks 401st out of 1,637 tested combos in Lockdown Protocol. This places the system in the top 24.5% of all tested configurations, a strong position for a mid-range desktop pairing. The rank reflects the balanced capabilities of both components: the CPU's 86th percentile standing and the GPU's 81st percentile standing combine to produce competitive frame rates.

The combo's performance is particularly strong at 1440p, where it delivers 115.7 FPS at High settings — a figure that rivals many higher-tier configurations. At 1080p, the 160 FPS High preset result demonstrates headroom for high-refresh-rate monitors. The 4K results, while playable, reveal the GPU as the limiting factor at Ultra settings.

When compared to other combos in the database, this system's rank of 401 out of 1,637 indicates it outperforms roughly three-quarters of tested configurations. The CPU's nearest rivals — the AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 5755GE, AMD Ryzen 7 6800HS, AMD Ryzen AI 7 PRO 360, and AMD Ryzen 7 7840H — all score within 0.3% of the 5800XT's average benchmark score, suggesting similar CPU-bound scenarios would yield comparable results. The GPU's nearest rivals show slightly more variance, with the RX Vega 56 trailing by 0.6% and the MX570 A by 1.9%.
