Lockdown Protocol

Measured FPS Breakdown

The recorded data for Lockdown Protocol with the AMD Ryzen 5 2600 and AMD Radeon RX 6750 XT covers three resolutions and four quality presets. All figures are average FPS, as the database did not capture minimum or maximum frame rates for this configuration.

At 1920x1080, the frame rates are consistently high across all presets. Low settings deliver an average of 177.2 FPS, Medium reaches 144.8 FPS, High produces 123.8 FPS, and Ultra still manages 92.5 FPS. The scaling from Low to Ultra shows a drop of approximately 48% in average FPS, yet every preset remains far above the 60 FPS playability threshold.

Moving to 2560x1440, the same pattern holds but with lower absolute numbers. Low settings average 144.7 FPS, Medium drops to 102.1 FPS, High comes in at 94.2 FPS, and Ultra settles at 69.2 FPS. The gap between Medium and High is relatively small, only about 8 FPS, while the jump from High to Ultra costs another 25 FPS.

At 3840x2160, the demands increase significantly. Low settings still produce a solid 96 FPS average, Medium dips to 64.3 FPS, and High maintains 61.5 FPS. Ultra, however, falls below the 60 FPS threshold with an average of 41.8 FPS. This is the only resolution and preset combination in the dataset that fails to reach playable performance.

The data shows no minimum or maximum FPS values, so frame-time consistency cannot be assessed from these measurements. However, the average FPS numbers alone indicate that the configuration is capable of smooth gameplay at most settings, with 4K Ultra being the sole exception.

CPU and GPU Roles

The scaling between resolutions reveals how the workload shifts between the Ryzen 5 2600 and the RX 6750 XT. At 1920x1080, the CPU often plays a larger role in determining frame rates, as the GPU is not fully saturated. The difference between Low and Medium at 1080p is 32.4 FPS, while the difference between Medium and High is 21 FPS, and between High and Ultra it is 31.3 FPS. This suggests that even at lower resolutions, the graphics card remains the primary bottleneck, since each preset increase produces a measurable FPS reduction.

At 2560x1440, the GPU load grows. Low to Medium drops by 42.6 FPS, Medium to High by 7.9 FPS, and High to Ultra by 25 FPS. The relatively small gap between Medium and High at this resolution indicates that the GPU is becoming more constrained, though the CPU still contributes to overall performance.

At 3840x2160, the GPU is clearly the dominant factor. Low to Medium falls by 31.7 FPS, Medium to High by 2.8 FPS, and High to Ultra by 19.7 FPS. The tiny difference between Medium and High at 4K suggests that the GPU is near its limits, and the CPU has less influence on the final frame rate. The Ryzen 5 2600, with its 6 cores and 12 threads, provides enough processing power to avoid becoming a major constraint at higher resolutions, as evidenced by the consistent FPS drops when the GPU workload increases.

Comparing across resolutions at the same preset reinforces this analysis. At Low settings, 1080p averages 177.2 FPS, 1440p averages 144.7 FPS, and 4K averages 96 FPS. The reduction from 1080p to 1440p is 18%, while the reduction from 1440p to 4K is 34%. This indicates that the GPU scales predictably with pixel count, and the CPU does not introduce significant variability.

Best Settings per Resolution

For 3840x2160, the most demanding preset that stays at or above 60 FPS is High, with an average of 61.5 FPS. Medium also qualifies at 64.3 FPS, and Low is well above at 96 FPS, but High offers the best visual quality while remaining playable. Ultra at 41.8 FPS is not recommended for this resolution.

At 2560x1440, every preset clears the 60 FPS threshold, so the best settings are Ultra, which averages 69.2 FPS. This provides the highest visual fidelity while maintaining a comfortable margin above the playability line. High at 94.2 FPS and Medium at 102.1 FPS are also viable, but Ultra is the optimal choice for users prioritizing image quality.

For 1920x1080, Ultra is again the best option, averaging 92.5 FPS. This is more than 30 FPS above the 60 FPS threshold, leaving ample headroom for demanding scenes. Low at 177.2 FPS, Medium at 144.8 FPS, and High at 123.8 FPS all offer higher frame rates, but none provide better visual quality than Ultra.

The data clearly shows that this configuration handles Lockdown Protocol well at 1080p and 1440p with maximum settings, while 4K requires a reduction to High to maintain playability.

Similar Performance Alternatives

The database lists nearest rivals for both the CPU and GPU based on average benchmark scores. For the AMD Ryzen 5 2600, the closest comparable processors include the Intel Core Ultra 5 228V with an average score of 21440 and a delta of 0.2%, the Intel Core i9-11900H at 21367 with a delta of 0.5%, the Intel Xeon D-1746TER at 21635 with a delta of -0.7%, and the AMD EPYC 9454 at 21223 with a delta of 1.2%. These chips deliver very similar overall performance, within roughly 1% of the Ryzen 5 2600's average score of 21484.

For the AMD Radeon RX 6750 XT, the nearest GPU rivals are the AMD Radeon R9 M395X with an average score of 25891 and a delta of 0.5%, the AMD FirePro W7100 at 25856 with a delta of 0.6%, the AMD FirePro D700 at 25842 with a delta of 0.7%, and the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 Ti Mobile at 25740 with a delta of 1.1%. These GPUs are all within 1.1% of the RX 6750 XT's average score of 26011, meaning they would produce nearly identical frame rates in Lockdown Protocol.

Users with any of these alternative components can expect similar gameplay performance to the tested configuration. However, the exact FPS at each resolution and preset may vary slightly due to driver optimizations and system-level differences, though the benchmark scores suggest the differences would be minimal.
