CPU and GPU Roles
The balance between the Ryzen 5 2600 and the RTX 4090 shifts depending on resolution and preset. At 1920x1080, the CPU has more influence because frame rates are high and the GPU is not as heavily taxed. The spread from Low to Ultra at 1080p is 173.2 FPS down to 134 FPS, a 39.2 FPS gap. That gap shows the GPU still scales with settings, but the overall ceiling is high enough that the processor's single-thread performance, represented by a PassMark single-thread score of 2239, becomes a limiting factor at very high frame rates.
At 2560x1440, the GPU begins to take a larger role. The Low preset hits 158.4 FPS, while Ultra drops to 122.6 FPS. The delta between Low and Ultra is 35.8 FPS, slightly smaller than at 1080p. This indicates that the RTX 4090's raw compute, measured at 82.58 TFLOPS FP32, is still delivering strong results, but the resolution increase adds enough pixel workload to reduce the CPU's relative influence.
At 3840x2160, the GPU dominates the performance equation. Low settings produce 138.1 FPS, Medium 120.3 FPS, High 106.2 FPS, and Ultra 79.9 FPS. The gap from Low to Ultra grows to 58.2 FPS, the largest of any resolution. This is expected because 4K resolution places a much heavier load on the GPU's memory bandwidth (1.01 TB/s) and pixel rate (443.5 GPixel/s). The CPU's role diminishes further, as the frame rate is increasingly tied to the graphics card's ability to fill pixels.
The data suggests that for competitive play at lower resolutions, the CPU matters more, but the Ryzen 5 2600 still holds up. For visually demanding 4K gameplay, the RTX 4090 is clearly the dominant component. The processor's 6 cores and 12 threads, combined with a 3.90 GHz boost clock, are sufficient to keep up with the GPU's output, but the margin narrows as frame rates rise above 150 FPS.
Measured FPS Breakdown
1920x1080:
- Low: 173.2 FPS average
- Medium: 156.1 FPS average
- High: 146.7 FPS average
- Ultra: 134 FPS average
The lowest preset at 1080p gives the highest headroom, with nearly 113 FPS above the 60 FPS playable threshold. Medium and High both remain comfortably above 140 FPS, and even Ultra stays above 130 FPS. The scaling from Low to Ultra is smooth, with each step reducing performance by roughly 10 to 13 FPS.
2560x1440:
- Low: 158.4 FPS average
- Medium: 140 FPS average
- High: 134.5 FPS average
- Ultra: 122.6 FPS average
At 1440p, the frame rates are still very high. Low settings exceed 158 FPS, which is excellent for high-refresh monitors. Medium drops to 140 FPS, High to 134.5 FPS, and Ultra remains above 122 FPS. The step between Low and Medium is 18.4 FPS, the largest jump at this resolution, while the difference between High and Ultra is 11.9 FPS.
3840x2160:
- Low: 138.1 FPS average
- Medium: 120.3 FPS average
- High: 106.2 FPS average
- Ultra: 79.9 FPS average
At 4K, the impact of settings is much more pronounced. Low settings deliver 138.1 FPS, which is still highly playable. Medium drops to 120.3 FPS, High to 106.2 FPS, and Ultra falls to 79.9 FPS. The largest single drop occurs between High and Ultra, a 26.3 FPS reduction. This suggests that Ultra at 4K introduces a significant additional workload, likely tied to advanced shading and post-processing effects.
Across all resolutions, the minimum and maximum frame rates were not recorded, so the analysis relies on average values. The averages are consistent and high, indicating stable performance without major dips.
Similar Performance Alternatives
For the CPU (AMD Ryzen 5 2600):
The Ryzen 5 2600 has an average benchmark score of 21484. The closest rivals in the database are the Intel Core Ultra 5 228V at 21440 (0.2% slower), the Intel Core i9-11900H at 21367 (0.5% slower), the Intel Xeon D-1746TER at 21635 (0.7% faster), and the AMD EPYC 9454 at 21223 (1.2% slower). Any of these processors would deliver nearly identical CPU-bound performance in Lockdown Protocol. The Core Ultra 5 228V and Core i9-11900H are particularly close, with differences of less than 1%. For a builder looking at this combination, swapping in one of these chips would not materially change frame rates.
For the GPU (NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090):
The RTX 4090 has an average benchmark score of 60347. Its nearest rivals are the Intel Arc Pro A60 at 60326 (0% difference), the AMD Radeon Pro Vega 48 at 60140 (0.3% slower), the AMD Radeon Pro W6600M at 61896 (2.5% faster), and the AMD Radeon PRO V710 at 58657 (2.9% slower). The Arc Pro A60 is effectively identical in average score, meaning it would perform within a fraction of a percent in most GPU-bound scenarios. The Radeon Pro W6600M is slightly faster on paper, while the Radeon PRO V710 trails by a small margin. For Lockdown Protocol specifically, the measured FPS would be nearly indistinguishable across these cards, given the small delta percentages.
The combination of the Ryzen 5 2600 with any of these GPU alternatives would likely land in the same performance tier, with the GPU being the primary factor at higher resolutions. At 1080p, the CPU differences might show up in very high frame rate scenarios, but the deltas are so small that real-world gameplay would feel the same.
Best Settings per Resolution
1920x1080:
The most demanding preset that stays at or above 60 FPS is Ultra, with an average of 134 FPS. This leaves substantial headroom for dips and is ideal for high-refresh monitors.
2560x1440:
Ultra settings also win here, with an average of 122.6 FPS. The gap above the 60 FPS threshold is 62.6 FPS, making this a comfortable choice for smooth gameplay.
3840x2160:
Ultra is again the best preset, averaging 79.9 FPS. This clears the 60 FPS threshold by 19.9 FPS. While not as high as the lower resolutions, it remains solidly playable and is the highest visual quality option.
In all three resolutions, Ultra is the most demanding preset that maintains at least 60 FPS. There is no need to compromise on visual quality with this hardware combination.
The Verdict
The data shows that this PC can run Lockdown Protocol at every tested resolution and preset. At 1920x1080, the average FPS ranges from 134 on Ultra to 173.2 on Low, all far above the 60 FPS playable threshold. At 2560x1440, performance ranges from 122.6 on Ultra to 158.4 on Low. At 3840x2160, Ultra still delivers 79.9 FPS, while Low reaches 138.1 FPS.
The verdict by resolution confirms that all four settings (Low, Medium, High, and Ultra) are playable at every resolution. The best settings are Ultra at each resolution: 134 FPS at 1080p, 122.6 FPS at 1440p, and 79.9 FPS at 4K. This combination places in the 833rd rank out of 3714 combos, which is a strong showing.
The RTX 4090 is the clear driver of performance, especially at 4K where the GPU workload is heaviest. The Ryzen 5 2600, while older, does not prevent the system from achieving high frame rates. The benchmark results indicate that this is a capable pairing for Lockdown Protocol, suitable for both competitive play at high refresh rates and immersive single-player experiences at maximum settings.
