Lockdown Protocol

Measured FPS Breakdown

The recorded data for Lockdown Protocol with the AMD Ryzen 5 2600 and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 covers three resolutions and four quality presets. All figures are average FPS, as the database does not report minimum or maximum frame times for this configuration. The playable threshold is set at 60 FPS.

At 1920x1080, the combination delivers its strongest results. The Low preset runs at 173.4 FPS average, which is the highest recorded number across the entire test matrix. Medium reaches 132.5 FPS, High drops to 115 FPS, and Ultra still holds 90.7 FPS. Every preset at this resolution clears the 60 FPS threshold by a substantial margin. The spread from Low to Ultra is 82.7 FPS, indicating that quality settings have a visible impact, but even the most demanding setting leaves considerable headroom.

Moving to 2560x1440, the frame rates remain strong but scale down as expected. Low produces 138.6 FPS, Medium 99.1 FPS, High 84.3 FPS, and Ultra 67.4 FPS. The drop from 1080p to 1440p at the same preset is consistent: Low falls by 34.8 FPS, Medium by 33.4 FPS, High by 30.7 FPS, and Ultra by 23.3 FPS. Notably, the gap between Low and Ultra shrinks at this resolution, from 82.7 FPS at 1080p to 71.2 FPS at 1440p, which suggests that the GPU is starting to become the limiting factor rather than the CPU.

At 3840x2160, the results become more constrained. Low delivers 87 FPS, Medium 65.5 FPS, High 57 FPS, and Ultra 41.8 FPS. The 4K resolution exposes the limits of this pairing. Only Low and Medium stay at or above the 60 FPS playability threshold. High falls 3 FPS short, and Ultra trails by 18.2 FPS. The scaling from 1440p to 4K is steep: Low loses 51.6 FPS, Medium loses 33.6 FPS, High loses 27.3 FPS, and Ultra loses 25.6 FPS. The diminishing differences between presets at higher resolutions reinforce that pixel throughput, not CPU capability, dominates the 4K results.

The database shows no minimum or maximum FPS values for any resolution or preset, so variance and frame pacing cannot be assessed from these measurements. The analysis relies solely on average frame rates.

Best Settings per Resolution

For 1920x1080, the most demanding preset that stays at or above 60 FPS is Ultra, with an average of 90.7 FPS. This leaves 30.7 FPS of headroom above the playability threshold, so users can run the highest quality setting without concern.

For 2560x1440, Ultra is again the best playable setting, averaging 67.4 FPS. The margin above 60 FPS is 7.4 FPS, which is comfortable but notably tighter than at 1080p. High sits at 84.3 FPS, Medium at 99.1 FPS, and Low at 138.6 FPS, all of which are also playable, but Ultra provides the maximum visual fidelity within the threshold.

For 3840x2160, the best playable preset is Medium, with an average of 65.5 FPS. This is only 5.5 FPS above the threshold. High is not playable at 57 FPS, and Ultra is further behind at 41.8 FPS. Low runs at 87 FPS and is also playable, but Medium offers the highest quality that still clears the 60 FPS bar. The 4K verdict is the most restrictive of the three resolutions.

Similar Performance Alternatives

Looking at the nearest rivals in the database, the AMD Ryzen 5 2600 has an average benchmark score of 21484. The closest match is the Intel Core Ultra 5 228V at 21440, a difference of 0.2 percent. The Intel Core i9-11900H scores 21367, 0.5 percent lower. The Intel Xeon D-1746TER scores 21635, which is 0.7 percent higher. The AMD EPYC 9454 scores 21223, 1.2 percent lower. All four processors sit within roughly one percent of the Ryzen 5 2600 in aggregate benchmark performance, so any of them would likely produce similar CPU-bound behavior in Lockdown Protocol.

For the GPU, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 has an average benchmark score of 17639. The AMD Radeon HD 7790 scores 17666, 0.2 percent higher. The AMD Radeon 780M scores 17588, 0.3 percent lower. The AMD Radeon Pro 560 scores 17551, 0.5 percent lower. The AMD Radeon Pro 460 scores 17509, 0.7 percent lower. These deltas are all under one percent, meaning the recorded frame rates for the RTX 4060 should be broadly representative of what these alternatives would deliver, assuming no other system bottlenecks.

The percentile rankings put the Ryzen 5 2600 at the 75th percentile among all tested CPUs, while the RTX 4060 sits at the 61st percentile among all tested GPUs. The CPU is the stronger component relative to its own pool, but in this game the GPU carries the heavier load at higher resolutions.

How This Combo Ranks

In the database, this specific combination of AMD Ryzen 5 2600 and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 ranks 2057 out of 3714 tested combos for Lockdown Protocol. That places it in the 55th percentile of all combinations tested for this game, meaning roughly 55 percent of tested combos perform worse and 45 percent perform better.

The rank reflects the aggregate picture across all resolutions and presets. The combo is clearly capable at 1080p and 1440p, where it handles even the Ultra preset above 60 FPS, but the 4K results pull the overall standing down because High and Ultra are not playable there. The mid-pack rank is consistent with a pairing where the GPU is strong enough for mainstream gaming but not for maxed-out 4K output.

Given that 3714 combos were tested, a rank of 2057 is neither near the top nor near the bottom. It indicates a balanced setup that excels in the most common gaming resolutions but falls behind higher-end configurations in 4K scenarios.

The Verdict

The AMD Ryzen 5 2600 with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 can run Lockdown Protocol, but the answer depends on resolution and preset.

At 1920x1080, the system is fully playable at every preset. Ultra averages 90.7 FPS, which is 30.7 FPS above the 60 FPS threshold. There is no preset at this resolution that fails the playability requirement.

At 2560x1440, all four presets also clear the threshold. Ultra averages 67.4 FPS, which is the most demanding setting and still playable. The margin is smaller than at 1080p but acceptable.

At 3840x2160, only Low and Medium are playable. Medium is the best option at 65.5 FPS, just 5.5 FPS above the threshold. High and Ultra fall short at 57 FPS and 41.8 FPS respectively. Users targeting 4K should stick to Medium or lower.

The verdict by resolution is clear: 1080p and 1440p are fully playable with the highest settings, while 4K requires a reduction to Medium for a stable 60 FPS experience.

CPU and GPU Roles

The recorded data shows a clear shift in component importance as resolution changes. At 1920x1080, the frame rates are high across all presets, with Low at 173.4 FPS and Ultra at 90.7 FPS. The large spread between presets suggests that the GPU is doing meaningful work, but the CPU is still able to feed frames quickly enough to keep the GPU busy. The Ryzen 5 2600, with its 6 cores and 12 threads, is sufficient at this resolution.

At 2560x1440, the preset spread narrows. Low drops to 138.6 FPS and Ultra to 67.4 FPS. The absolute frame rates fall across the board, which points to the GPU becoming more of a limiting factor. The CPU still has headroom, but the pixel workload grows faster than the CPU workload as resolution increases.

At 3840x2160, the GPU is clearly the dominant constraint. Low averages 87 FPS, but Medium falls to 65.5 FPS, High to 57 FPS, and Ultra to 41.8 FPS. The differences between presets shrink further, and the overall frame rates are much lower than at 1440p. The CPU is no longer the bottleneck; the RTX 4060's 8 GB of memory and 128-bit bus are being stressed by the 4K pixel count.

The scaling pattern is consistent. From 1080p to 1440p, frame rates drop by roughly 20 to 35 percent depending on the preset. From 1440p to 4K, the drops are even steeper, particularly at Low where the fall is 51.6 FPS. This indicates that Lockdown Protocol becomes progressively more GPU-bound as resolution increases. The CPU matters most at 1080p, where high frame rates demand quick draw call processing, while the GPU matters most at 4K, where raw pixel throughput decides the outcome. At 1440p, both components are relevant, but the GPU starts to take the leading role.
