Performance Analysis: Lockdown Protocol on Your System
How This Combo Ranks
The AMD Ryzen 5 2600 paired with the AMD Radeon RX 6600 ranks 2888 out of 3714 tested combinations in Lockdown Protocol. That places this combo in the lower third of all tested systems, meaning it is not a top-tier performer for this FPS title. However, the rank alone does not tell the full story: the system is capable of delivering playable frame rates at every resolution tested, provided the right settings are selected.
The CPU sits at the 75th percentile among all processors in the database, which is a solid mid-range standing. The GPU, meanwhile, is at the 63rd percentile among all graphics cards. The combination of a moderately strong CPU and a slightly weaker GPU relative to their respective fields results in a system that can handle the game, but with clear compromises at higher resolutions and preset levels. The recorded data shows that at 1080p, the combo can push well past the playable threshold of 60 FPS even at Ultra settings, but at 4K, only Low settings remain viable.
CPU and GPU Roles
The benchmark results indicate a clear shift in component importance depending on the resolution. At 1920x1080, the CPU has more headroom, and the GPU becomes the primary driver of performance. This is evident from the scaling between presets: moving from Low to Ultra at 1080p drops the average frame rate from 145.8 to 66.2, a reduction of roughly 55%. The GPU is the limiting factor here, as the Ryzen 5 2600 with its 6 cores and 12 threads provides sufficient processing power to keep up with the Radeon RX 6600 at this resolution.
At 2560x1440, the balance shifts slightly. The average frame rate at Low settings is 109.8, dropping to 49.9 at Ultra. The gap between Low and Ultra is still large, but the overall performance ceiling is lower, indicating that both components are being taxed more evenly. The CPU's single-thread performance, which is modest relative to modern rivals, becomes more relevant as the GPU has fewer frames to render and the per-frame CPU cost increases.
At 3840x2160, the GPU is overwhelmingly the bottleneck. The average frame rate at Low is 68, but at Medium it falls to 48.2, and at Ultra it drops to 30.4. The CPU's role is diminished at this resolution because the GPU is struggling to fill the frame buffer. The data suggests that for 4K play, the Radeon RX 6600 is the decisive component, and the Ryzen 5 2600 has enough headroom to avoid being a significant constraint.
Best Settings per Resolution
At 3840x2160, the only playable setting is Low, which delivers an average frame rate of 68. This is above the 60 FPS threshold, but just barely, and it is the only preset at this resolution that avoids dipping below playable levels. Medium falls to 48.2, High to 44.7, and Ultra to 30.4, all of which are below the playability line.
At 2560x1440, the best playable setting is High, with an average frame rate of 64.8. Low and Medium are also playable, at 109.8 and 75.5 respectively, but High offers the best visual quality while staying above 60 FPS. Ultra is not playable here, with an average of 49.9.
At 1920x1080, Ultra is the best playable setting, delivering an average frame rate of 66.2. This is the only resolution where the full preset range is available: Low runs at 145.8, Medium at 105.7, and High at 93.1. All four settings clear the 60 FPS bar, so the choice comes down to visual preference versus frame rate headroom.
Similar Performance Alternatives
Looking at the nearest rivals for the CPU, the Ryzen 5 2600 scores an average benchmark of 21484. The Intel Core Ultra 5 228V is essentially identical, with a score of 21440 and a delta of 0.2%. The Intel Core i9-11900H is also very close at 21367, a 0.5% difference. The Intel Xeon D-1746TER is slightly faster at 21635, putting it 0.7% ahead, while the AMD EPYC 9454 trails at 21223, a 1.2% deficit. For Lockdown Protocol, any of these CPUs would produce nearly indistinguishable frame rates in CPU-bound scenarios, as the performance deltas are within a rounding error.
For the GPU, the Radeon RX 6600 has an average benchmark score of 19036. The NVIDIA Quadro K6000 matches it exactly at 19030, with a delta of 0%. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4050 Mobile is marginally ahead at 19049, a 0.1% difference, while the NVIDIA Tesla K20m is slightly behind at 19089, a 0.3% gap in the other direction. The NVIDIA RTX 2000 Ada Generation is the closest competitor at 18954, a 0.4% difference. In practice, swapping in any of these GPUs would yield nearly identical performance in Lockdown Protocol at the same settings and resolution.
Measured FPS Breakdown
At 1920x1080, the recorded data shows the following average frame rates: Low settings produce 145.8 FPS, Medium produces 105.7, High produces 93.1, and Ultra produces 66.2. All of these are comfortably above the playable threshold, with Low offering more than double the frame rate of Ultra.
At 2560x1440, the averages are lower but still respectable: Low runs at 109.8, Medium at 75.5, High at 64.8, and Ultra at 49.9. The step from High to Ultra is a drop of nearly 15 FPS, which is a significant penalty for the extra visual fidelity.
At 3840x2160, the frame rates drop sharply: Low averages 68, Medium averages 48.2, High averages 44.7, and Ultra averages 30.4. The difference between Low and Medium is nearly 20 FPS, making Low the only viable option for smooth gameplay at 4K.
The data reveals a consistent pattern: each resolution step from 1080p to 1440p to 4K reduces frame rates by roughly 30 to 40 percent at the same settings. The scaling is not perfectly linear, but the trend is clear. The system is best suited to 1080p gaming, where it can max out the settings, and it can handle 1440p with High settings. At 4K, the hardware is stretched thin and only Low settings are playable.
