Lockdown Protocol

The AMD Ryzen 5 4600G paired with the AMD Radeon RX 7900 XT delivers a wide range of frame rates in Lockdown Protocol, scaling from a very smooth 1080p experience to a still-playable 4K showing. The recorded data indicates that this combination handles the game with considerable headroom at lower resolutions, while the demands of 4K Ultra bring it closest to the 60 FPS threshold.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the combination produces exceptionally high frame rates across all settings. The Low preset records an average of 208 FPS, which is the highest average observed for this pairing in any configuration. Moving to Medium, the average drops to 183 FPS, with a minimum of 156 FPS and a maximum of 211 FPS. The High preset yields an average of 174 FPS. The Ultra preset, the most demanding option at this resolution, still maintains an average of 130 FPS. All of these figures are far above the 60 FPS playability threshold, indicating that the CPU and GPU are providing substantial performance at 1080p.

At 2560x1440, the frame rates remain high but show a noticeable step down from 1080p. The Low preset averages 188 FPS. The Medium preset averages 146 FPS, with a recorded minimum of 124 FPS and a maximum of 168 FPS. The High preset produces an average of 127 FPS. The Ultra preset averages 96 FPS. These results demonstrate that the combination still has excellent performance at 1440p, with even the most demanding preset staying comfortably above 60 FPS.

At 3840x2160, the performance curve compresses significantly as the resolution increases the load on the GPU. The Low preset averages 133 FPS. The Medium preset averages 94 FPS, with a minimum of 80 FPS and a maximum of 108 FPS. The High preset averages 82 FPS. The Ultra preset, which is the most demanding setting tested, brings the average down to 62 FPS. This is the only configuration where the average frame rate approaches the 60 FPS threshold, though it still clears it.

How This Combo Ranks

The database ranks this specific CPU and GPU combination at position 796 out of 3714 tested combinations for Lockdown Protocol. This places it in the upper portion of all tested systems, suggesting that it is a strong performer for this title. The ranking reflects the substantial GPU capability present in this pairing, which drives the high frame rates seen across all resolutions.

The 796th rank out of 3714 combinations means that roughly 78.6 percent of tested configurations are slower, while approximately 21.4 percent are faster. This is a solid result for a pairing that includes a more modest CPU, as the overall performance is clearly dominated by the high-end graphics card. In practice, this rank indicates that the system should handle Lockdown Protocol with ease at most settings, and it only struggles to maintain very high averages when pushed to 4K Ultra.

Similar Performance Alternatives

Looking at the nearest rivals for the AMD Ryzen 5 4600G, the AMD Ryzen 3 PRO 5355GE has an average benchmark score of 17482, which is 0.1 percent lower than the 4600G. The AMD Ryzen 3 8300GE scores 17614, or 0.6 percent higher. The Intel Core 7 150U scores 17395, or 0.6 percent lower. The Intel Core i3-14100T scores 17648, or 0.8 percent higher. These processors all sit within a very narrow performance band around the 4600G, meaning that swapping to any of them would result in nearly identical CPU-driven performance in Lockdown Protocol. The differences are small enough that they would not produce a meaningful change in frame rates, especially given the strong GPU in this system.

For the AMD Radeon RX 7900 XT, the nearest rivals are the AMD Radeon 660M with an average score of 13812, which is 0.5 percent lower, and the NVIDIA RTX A2000 Mobile with a score of 13821, also 0.5 percent lower. The AMD Radeon RX 570X scores 13871, or 0.9 percent lower. The AMD Radeon RX 9070 XT scores 13543, or 1.5 percent higher. These deltas are all within a couple of percentage points, suggesting that these GPUs would behave similarly in terms of overall benchmark averages. However, it is important to note that the RX 7900 XT has a much larger memory pool and higher bandwidth than the integrated and mobile parts listed, which could affect performance in games that are sensitive to memory capacity or bandwidth. For Lockdown Protocol specifically, the recorded averages are high enough that a GPU with a score within this range would likely deliver similar playable results, though the exact frame rates would depend on the specific architectural strengths of each card.

The Verdict

The data clearly shows that this PC can run Lockdown Protocol at or above 60 FPS in every tested configuration. At 1920x1080, the verdict is straightforward: every preset, from Low to Ultra, clears the threshold with a wide margin. The Ultra preset averages 130 FPS, which is more than double the 60 FPS requirement. At 2560x1440, the same holds true. The Ultra preset averages 96 FPS, still well above the threshold, and the lower presets are even faster. At 3840x2160, the system remains playable across all settings. The Ultra preset averages 62 FPS, which is just above the 60 FPS line, while the High, Medium, and Low presets all average significantly higher.

The database verdict for each resolution lists all four settings as playable, with the best settings being Ultra at every resolution. The average FPS at the best settings is 130 at 1080p, 96 at 1440p, and 62 at 4K. This means a user can select the highest visual quality at any of these resolutions and still maintain a playable frame rate, though 4K Ultra leaves very little margin for fluctuations. For those who prefer a more stable experience at 4K, the High preset at 82 FPS would offer a larger buffer above the threshold.

CPU and GPU Roles

The data reveals that the GPU is the dominant factor in this pairing for Lockdown Protocol, especially as the resolution increases. The CPU, the AMD Ryzen 5 4600G, has a passmark single-thread score of 2653 and a passmark multithread score of 15992, which are modest figures. The GPU, the AMD Radeon RX 7900 XT, has a passmark G3D score of 29009, which is substantially higher relative to its peers. This imbalance means that the GPU is almost certainly the limiting component when frame rates drop at higher resolutions.

Comparing the scaling between resolutions confirms this. From 1920x1080 to 2560x1440, the Ultra preset drops from 130 FPS to 96 FPS, a reduction of 34 FPS or about 26 percent. From 2560x1440 to 3840x2160, the Ultra preset drops from 96 FPS to 62 FPS, a reduction of 34 FPS or about 35 percent. This progressive decline with each resolution step is characteristic of a GPU-bound scenario, where the number of pixels being rendered increases and the GPU must work harder. If the CPU were the limiting factor, the frame rates at lower resolutions would plateau or show less scaling, but instead they continue to rise as the resolution drops, indicating that the GPU has headroom at 1080p and is being saturated only as the pixel count climbs.

The differences between presets at a given resolution also point to the GPU as the main constraint. At 3840x2160, the Low preset averages 133 FPS while the Ultra preset averages 62 FPS, a gap of 71 FPS. This large drop is caused by the increased shading and texture work required by higher settings, which falls on the GPU. The CPU, with its 6 cores and 12 threads, is capable of feeding the GPU at these frame rates, but it is not the component that determines the final output. The recorded data shows that even at 1080p Low, where the CPU would be most likely to bottleneck, the system reaches 208 FPS, which is a high enough rate that the CPU is still keeping up. In summary, the GPU is the primary driver of performance in Lockdown Protocol for this combination, with the CPU playing a supporting role that becomes less relevant as the resolution and settings increase.

Best Settings per Resolution

At 1920x1080, the most demanding preset that stays at or above 60 FPS is Ultra, which achieves an average of 130 FPS. Since all presets are playable at this resolution, the best choice for maximum visual quality while maintaining a high frame rate is Ultra. The recorded average of 130 FPS provides a significant cushion above the 60 FPS threshold, so even demanding scenes should remain smooth.

At 2560x1440, the best settings are also Ultra, with an average of 96 FPS. This is again well above the 60 FPS line, and the system has enough performance to handle the highest quality settings without dropping below playable levels. The Medium preset at 146 FPS and the High preset at 127 FPS are also options for users who want even higher frame rates, but they are not necessary to stay above the threshold.

At 3840x2160, the best settings are Ultra, with an average of 62 FPS. This is the only resolution where the Ultra preset comes close to the 60 FPS threshold, and the average still clears it. However, the margin is slim. For users who prioritize a larger frame rate buffer at 4K, the High preset at 82 FPS or the Medium preset at 94 FPS would be safer choices. The database verdict lists Ultra as the best settings at this resolution because the average stays above 60 FPS, but the data shows that the High and Medium presets provide more headroom. Ultimately, the combination can run Lockdown Protocol at Ultra settings on all three resolutions, with 1080p and 1440p offering abundant performance and 4K providing a playable but tighter experience.
