Lockdown Protocol

Measured FPS Breakdown

Lockdown Protocol is a fast-paced FPS, and the recorded data for the AMD Ryzen 5 4600G and AMD Radeon RX 7600 combination shows a clear performance hierarchy across the three tested resolutions. At 1920x1080, the combo delivers its strongest results. The Low preset produces an average of 160 FPS, making it the most fluid experience recorded in the entire dataset. Moving up to Medium, the average drops to 113 FPS, with a minimum of 96 FPS and a maximum of 130 FPS, which keeps the frame rate well above the 60 FPS playability threshold. The High preset at 1080p averages 99 FPS, while the most demanding Ultra preset still holds an average of 74 FPS. Every setting at this resolution clears the playable bar, and the frame pacing data indicates no dips below 60 FPS even at Ultra.

At 2560x1440, the performance scales down noticeably but remains respectable. The Low preset averages 117 FPS, which is still a very smooth experience for competitive play. The Medium preset averages 83 FPS, with a recorded minimum of 71 FPS and a maximum of 96 FPS, showing that the combination can handle moderate settings without dropping into stutter territory. High settings at 1440p produce an average of 73 FPS, which is just above the 60 FPS threshold. The Ultra preset, however, falls below playable levels, averaging only 54 FPS. This resolution presents a clear divide: the top three presets are viable, but Ultra is not suitable for sustained action.

The 3840x2160 results show the expected heavy load on the GPU. The Low preset averages 76 FPS, which is the only setting at this resolution that comfortably exceeds the 60 FPS threshold. Medium settings average 54 FPS, with a minimum of 46 FPS and a maximum of 62 FPS, indicating inconsistent frame delivery that would be noticeable in firefights. High settings drop to an average of 47 FPS, and Ultra falls to 35 FPS. The data suggests that 4K gaming is only feasible with the lowest visual preset on this hardware combination.

Best Settings per Resolution

For 1920x1080, the most demanding preset that stays at or above 60 FPS is Ultra, which averages 74 FPS. This is the best-case scenario for visual fidelity without sacrificing playability. The combination of the CPU and GPU at 1080p has enough headroom to run the game at maximum settings, and the average frame rate leaves a small buffer for intense scenes.

At 2560x1440, the best playable setting is High, with an average of 73 FPS. While Medium offers a higher average of 83 FPS, High provides the superior visual experience while still maintaining a comfortable margin above the 60 FPS threshold. The data shows that Ultra at this resolution is not viable, so High represents the optimal balance for 1440p displays.

For 3840x2160, the only playable setting is Low, which averages 76 FPS. This is a peculiar result, as the Low preset at 4K delivers a higher average than Medium (54 FPS) and High (47 FPS), but it is the only option that ensures frame rates consistently above the playability floor. The verdict by resolution confirms that 4K users must accept the lowest preset to enjoy a smooth experience.

How This Combo Ranks

The database places this specific CPU and GPU pairing at rank 2577 out of 3714 tested combinations for Lockdown Protocol. This puts the combo in the lower-middle portion of the performance distribution, meaning a majority of other tested systems deliver higher frame rates in this game. The percentile data for the individual components supports this positioning: the Ryzen 5 4600G sits at the 71st percentile among all CPUs, while the RX 7600 rests at the 57th percentile among all GPUs. The CPU is relatively stronger in the broader benchmark landscape, but the GPU is only slightly above average, and the game's FPS results reflect that the graphics card is the limiting factor at higher resolutions.

The combo rank of 2577 out of 3714 indicates that while this system can play the game, it is not a high-end configuration for Lockdown Protocol. Many other combinations in the database produce better results, particularly at 1440p and 4K where the GPU struggles. However, the rank also shows that the combo is far from the bottom, and it outperforms a significant portion of tested systems, especially at 1080p where the CPU's strength comes into play.

Similar Performance Alternatives

Looking at the nearest rivals for the CPU, the AMD Ryzen 5 4600G has an average benchmark score of 17507. The closest competitor is the AMD Ryzen 3 PRO 5355GE, which scores 17482, a negligible 0.1 percent difference. The Intel Core 7 150U scores 17395, which is 0.6 percent lower, and the AMD Ryzen 3 8300GE scores 17614, which is 0.6 percent higher. The Intel Core i3-14100T scores 17648, edging out the 4600G by 0.8 percent. These four processors would all deliver very similar CPU-bound performance in Lockdown Protocol, meaning users upgrading from any of these would see minimal difference in frame rates when the GPU is the bottleneck.

For the GPU, the AMD Radeon RX 7600 has an average benchmark score of 15171. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 OEM scores 15199, just 0.2 percent higher, making it a near-identical match. The AMD Radeon Pro 560X scores 15082, which is 0.6 percent lower, and the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 660 Ti scores 15063, also 0.6 percent lower. The AMD Radeon 680M scores 15270, which is 0.7 percent higher. In practical terms, any of these GPUs would produce nearly the same frame rates in Lockdown Protocol at the same settings and resolution. The delta percentages are all within one percent, so the choice between these cards would come down to features like ray tracing support or power efficiency rather than raw FPS.

CPU and GPU Roles

The data reveals a classic scaling pattern where the GPU becomes the dominant factor as resolution increases. At 1920x1080, the CPU has more influence because the GPU is not fully saturated. The jump from Low to Ultra at 1080p only reduces the average from 160 FPS to 74 FPS, a 54 percent drop, but the absolute numbers remain high enough that the 4600G's six cores and twelve threads can keep up with the frame rendering. The CPU's Cinebench R23 multicore score of 13593 and single-core score of 1919 suggest it has enough processing power to feed the GPU at this resolution.

At 2560x1440, the GPU begins to assert its influence. The Low to Ultra drop goes from 117 FPS to 54 FPS, a 54 percent reduction, but the absolute values show the GPU struggling more. The RX 7600's 8 GB of VRAM and 288.0 GB/s bandwidth are being taxed harder, and the GPU becomes the primary limiter. The CPU still contributes, but the frame rate ceiling is dictated by the graphics card's fill rate and compute throughput.

At 3840x2160, the GPU is unequivocally the bottleneck. The Low preset averages 76 FPS, but Medium drops to 54 FPS, High to 47 FPS, and Ultra to 35 FPS. The massive pixel count overwhelms the RX 7600's 2048 shading units and 64 ROPs. The CPU's role diminishes significantly, as the GPU cannot produce frames fast enough to require the CPU's full processing capability. The scaling between 1080p Low (160 FPS) and 4K Low (76 FPS) shows a 53 percent reduction, which is primarily due to the GPU's pixel throughput limits. The Ryzen 5 4600G's performance is sufficient at all resolutions; the RX 7600 is the component that determines playability at higher settings.

The Verdict

The verdict by resolution is clear: this PC can run Lockdown Protocol, but the experience varies dramatically depending on the display resolution and quality settings. At 1920x1080, the system is fully playable across the entire preset range. The Ultra preset averages 74 FPS, and the Low preset hits 160 FPS, so users can choose between maximum visual quality or maximum smoothness. This is the resolution where the combination of the Ryzen 5 4600G and RX 7600 performs best, and the 60 FPS threshold is never threatened.

At 2560x1440, the system remains playable but with more caveats. High settings average 73 FPS, and Medium averages 83 FPS, both of which are comfortable. Low settings produce 117 FPS, which is excellent for competitive play. However, Ultra settings drop to 54 FPS, falling below the playability threshold. Users with 1440p monitors should stick to High or Medium for the best balance of visuals and performance.

At 3840x2160, the system is only playable on Low settings, with an average of 76 FPS. This is a single viable option, and users attempting Medium (54 FPS), High (47 FPS), or Ultra (35 FPS) will experience noticeable frame rate drops that hinder gameplay. The data indicates that the GPU is not powerful enough for 4K gaming beyond the lowest preset. In summary, this combo is a solid 1080p machine, a capable 1440p machine with settings adjustments, and a marginal 4K machine limited to Low quality. The recorded measurements show that the system clears the 60 FPS bar for the majority of settings at 1080p and 1440p, making it a viable choice for Lockdown Protocol players who prioritize frame rate over maximum visual fidelity.
