Lockdown Protocol

Lockdown Protocol is an FPS released on 2024-03-11, and the measured data pairs an AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D with an NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080 Ti. The measuredFps array contains average FPS values at 1080p, 1440p, and 4K, with Low, Medium, High, and Ultra presets. Every row has null minFps and maxFps, so the dataset describes average performance only. The dataIsMeasured field is true, meaning these are observed results rather than estimates.

Resolution Scaling

At 1080p, the combo produces its highest averages: Low 179.8, Medium 126.4, High 114.1, and Ultra 84.2. Moving to 2560x1440, the same presets fall to 131.5, 95.3, 84.4, and 63.2. At 3840x2160, they drop again to 87.3, 58.7, 53.1, and 40.8. The ordering is preserved across every resolution: Low is always fastest, Ultra always slowest, and each preset loses average FPS as resolution increases. The 4K Low result of 87.3 actually sits slightly above the 1080p Ultra result of 84.2, meaning preset changes can offset some of the resolution cost.

Because the CPU sits at the 87th percentile among all CPUs and the GPU sits at the 61st percentile among all GPUs, the scaling pattern aligns with a system where the graphics card becomes the more significant constraint as pixel count rises. The CPU's 8 cores and 16 threads, 96 MB of shared L3 cache, and 5.00 GHz boost clock are strong assets, but the measured FPS decline with resolution is the signature of GPU-limited frame rates in the higher-resolution rows.

FAQ

Q: What are the measured averages at 1080p for each preset?

A: Low 179.8 FPS, Medium 126.4 FPS, High 114.1 FPS, and Ultra 84.2 FPS.

Q: Which 1440p preset remains highest in the data?

A: Low at 131.5 FPS. Medium is 95.3, High is 84.4, and Ultra is 63.2.

Q: Does this pairing produce a usable 4K result?

A: At 4K, Low averages 87.3 FPS. Medium averages 58.7, High 53.1, and Ultra 40.8. Low is clearly the strongest 4K row.

Q: Are minimum or maximum FPS values available?

A: No. Every measuredFps row has null minFps and maxFps; only average FPS was recorded.

Q: How does the CPU rank against its nearest rivals?

A: The Ryzen 7 7800X3D has an avgBenchmarkScore of 31580 and a percentileVsAllCpus of 87. The nearest rivals are the Intel Core i7-12700F (avgScore 31543, deltaPct 0.1), AMD Ryzen 9 5980HX (avgScore 31495, deltaPct 0.3), AMD Ryzen 7 8700G (avgScore 31407, deltaPct 0.6), and AMD Ryzen 7 7745HX (avgScore 31402, deltaPct 0.6).

Q: How does the GPU rank against its nearest rivals?

A: The GTX 1080 Ti has an avgBenchmarkScore of 19402 and a percentileVsAllGpus of 61. Its nearest rivals include the GTX 780 (avgScore 19405, deltaPct 0), Radeon Pro 560X (avgScore 19426, deltaPct -0.1), Tesla K40m (avgScore 19519, deltaPct -0.6), and TITAN Xp (avgScore 19184, deltaPct 1.1).

GPU Role

The GTX 1080 Ti is a Pascal-generation card released on 2017-03-09. It has 11 GB of GDDR5X memory on a 352-bit bus with 484.4 GB/s of bandwidth. Its base clock is 1481 MHz, boost clock 1582 MHz, and memory clock 1376 MHz with 11 Gbps effective. The GPU contains 3584 shading units, 224 texture mapping units, and 88 ROPs; it rates at 139.2 GPixel/s pixel fill and 354.4 GTexel/s texture fill.

These are fixed hardware characteristics, so the measured FPS in Lockdown Protocol is the result of how much of that hardware the game uses at each setting. The 11 GB VRAM remains constant across all measured rows, but the dataset does not include VRAM usage, so capacity cannot be directly tied to any single preset. The larger pattern is visible in the FPS spread: at 1080p Low the card sustains 179.8 FPS, while at 4K Ultra it sustains 40.8 FPS. That spread, combined with the GPU's 61st percentile among all GPUs, suggests the GTX 1080 Ti is the limiting half of this pairing in the most demanding rows. The CPU, by contrast, is at the 87th percentile among all CPUs and therefore has more relative headroom than the GPU.

Measured FPS Breakdown

| 1920x1080 | Low | 179.8 | null | null |

| 1920x1080 | Medium | 126.4 | null | null |

| 1920x1080 | High | 114.1 | null | null |

| 1920x1080 | Ultra | 84.2 | null | null |

| 2560x1440 | Low | 131.5 | null | null |

| 2560x1440 | Medium | 95.3 | null | null |

| 2560x1440 | High | 84.4 | null | null |

| 2560x1440 | Ultra | 63.2 | null | null |

| 3840x2160 | Low | 87.3 | null | null |

| 3840x2160 | Medium | 58.7 | null | null |

| 3840x2160 | High | 53.1 | null | null |

| 3840x2160 | Ultra | 40.8 | null | null |

At 1080p, every preset reaches 84.2 FPS or higher, with Low and Medium providing particularly large margins. At 1440p, every preset averages 63.2 FPS or higher. At 4K, Low is the only row that reaches 87.3; Medium 58.7, High 53.1, and Ultra 40.8 are progressively lower. The table shows that preset order has a consistent effect at every resolution, but the resolution step changes the absolute frame rates substantially. Without minFps or maxFps, the table describes only central tendency, not frame-time consistency.

How This Combo Ranks

The combo rank in Lockdown Protocol is 983 out of 1,637 tested combinations. That places the pairing below the midpoint of the database. The CPU component is not the reason: the Ryzen 7 7800X3D has a percentileVsAllCpus of 87 and an avgBenchmarkScore of 31580. Its nearest rivals in the aggregate benchmark table are close, with deltaPct values of 0.1, 0.3, 0.6, and 0.6, but all listed rivals have lower avgScore values: 31543, 31495, 31407, and 31402.

The GPU is a different story: the GTX 1080 Ti has a percentileVsAllGpus of 61 and an avgBenchmarkScore of 19402. The listed nearest rivals all sit within a narrow deltaPct band from -0.6 to 1.1, with avgScores of 19405, 19426, 19519, and 19184. The CPU is placed much higher in its own distribution than the GPU, and the measured FPS table reflects that imbalance: the game's frame rate is far more sensitive to resolution than to the CPU's strong benchmark position. A 983rd-place finish out of 1,637 combos is therefore a mid-lower placement driven primarily by the GPU rather than by the CPU.

Settings Recommendations

At 1080p, the measured averages allow a wide choice. Low at 179.8 is the fastest row in the entire dataset. Medium 126.4 and High 114.1 both provide high averages, while Ultra 84.2 is the weakest 1080p preset but still matches the 4K Low figure. For players who want the highest image quality at 1080p, Ultra is a viable preset; for additional headroom, High gives more average FPS than Ultra.

At 1440p, Ultra at 63.2 is the lowest measured average but is still higher than the 4K Medium row of 58.7. High at 84.4 and Medium at 95.3 offer progressively larger margins. The data suggests High is the best compromise at 1440p, because it keeps the average at 84.4 FPS while retaining preset quality above Medium. Medium is a suitable alternative for more performance.

At 4K, Low at 87.3 is the strongest result. Medium 58.7, High 53.1, and Ultra 40.8 all fall below the 1080p Ultra figure of 84.2. For maximum average FPS, Low is the recommended 4K preset. If visual quality is preferred, Ultra at 40.8 remains the highest-settings option, but the loss in average FPS compared to Low is considerable. Because the dataset contains no minimum FPS values, these recommendations are based only on averages.
