Lockdown Protocol

Lockdown Protocol, a 2024 FPS, has been measured with the AMD Ryzen 5 4600G and the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1070 across three resolutions and four graphics presets. The recorded average frame rates, combined with the CPU and GPU benchmark scores, provide a clear picture of what this pairing can deliver and where its limits lie.

FAQ

Q: What is the average FPS at 1920x1080 with Ultra settings?

A: The recorded average is exactly 60 FPS, which matches the playable threshold defined in the database.

Q: Which settings are playable at 2560x1440?

A: Low and Medium presets stay above 60 FPS, with averages of 98.4 and 69.8 FPS respectively. High and Ultra fall below 60 FPS, at 57.9 and 45.2.

Q: How does the CPU compare to its nearest rivals?

A: The Ryzen 5 4600G has an average benchmark score of 17507. Its closest alternatives, the AMD Ryzen 3 PRO 5355GE and Intel Core 7 150U, are within 0.6% of that score, while the AMD Ryzen 3 8300GE and Intel Core i3-14100T are within 0.8%.

Q: What is the best setting at 3840x2160 that maintains 60 FPS?

A: Only the Low preset achieves that, with an average of 62.6 FPS. Medium, High, and Ultra all fall below the threshold.

Q: Where does this combo rank among all tested systems?

A: It ranks 3053 out of 3714 combos, placing it in the lower portion of the database. The CPU is at the 71st percentile among all CPUs, while the GPU is at the 47th percentile, suggesting the GPU is the weaker link.

CPU and GPU Roles

The measured FPS data shows a consistent pattern across resolutions. At 1920x1080, the average frame rate drops from 131.3 on Low to 60 on Ultra, a reduction of more than half. At 2560x1440, the same settings span from 98.4 down to 45.2. At 3840x2160, the range is 62.6 to 31.2. In every case, the gap between Low and Ultra is substantial, and the absolute FPS falls as resolution increases.

This scaling indicates that the GPU is the dominant factor when graphics load changes. The CPU, a 6-core, 12-thread Zen 2 part with a Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 13593, provides a stable foundation, but the recorded frame rates drop steeply with pixel count and preset quality. If the CPU were the primary bottleneck, we would expect less variation across resolutions, but the data shows a clear resolution-dependent decline. At 1080p Ultra, the combo lands exactly at 60 FPS, which is the playable threshold, suggesting the GPU is just sufficient at that setting. At higher resolutions, the GPU becomes progressively more limiting, while the CPU's contribution appears relatively constant.

The database does not isolate CPU and GPU scaling, but the recorded FPS pattern strongly implies that the GTX 1070 is the component that determines whether the game stays above 60 FPS. The CPU's benchmark percentiles and multi-threaded scores are respectable, but they do not translate into higher frame rates when the GPU is overwhelmed.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The following table lists every recorded average FPS from the database for this CPU and GPU combination.

| Resolution | Settings | Average FPS |

|------------|----------|-------------|

| 3840x2160 | High | 36.9 |

| 3840x2160 | Low | 62.6 |

| 3840x2160 | Medium | 47.2 |

| 3840x2160 | Ultra | 31.2 |

| 2560x1440 | High | 57.9 |

| 2560x1440 | Low | 98.4 |

| 2560x1440 | Medium | 69.8 |

| 2560x1440 | Ultra | 45.2 |

| 1920x1080 | High | 79.3 |

| 1920x1080 | Low | 131.3 |

| 1920x1080 | Medium | 94.9 |

| 1920x1080 | Ultra | 60 |

Minimum and maximum FPS values are not present in the database, so only averages are reported. The pattern is clear: at 1080p, even the most demanding preset reaches 60 FPS, while at 1440p and 4K, only the lower presets can maintain that threshold.

How This Combo Ranks

In the database's overall ranking for Lockdown Protocol, this pairing sits at position 3053 out of 3714 tested combinations. That places it in the lower portion of the field, with only a minority of systems performing worse. The CPU itself is relatively strong, ranking at the 71st percentile among all CPUs, but the GPU's 47th percentile standing drags the combo down. The GTX 1070, despite its 8 GB of GDDR5 memory and 256-bit bus, is now an older part, and its benchmark scores reflect that. The combination's rank suggests that while the CPU is capable, the GPU becomes the limiting factor in this game, especially at higher resolutions.

The nearest CPU rivals, such as the AMD Ryzen 3 PRO 5355GE and Intel Core 7 150U, have average benchmark scores within 0.6% of the 4600G, meaning any of those would produce nearly identical CPU-side behavior. For the GPU, the AMD FirePro W5000 and NVIDIA Quadro M2000M are within 0.5% of the GTX 1070's average score, so swapping to those would yield similar frame rates. The Tesla M10 and Tesla C2070 are also close, with deltas of 0.6% and 0.7% respectively.

The Verdict

Can this PC run Lockdown Protocol? The answer depends on resolution and settings. According to the verdict data, the system clears the 60 FPS threshold in the following scenarios:

• 3840x2160: Only the Low preset is playable, with an average of 62.6 FPS.
• 2560x1440: Low and Medium are playable, with averages of 98.4 and 69.8 FPS.
• 1920x1080: All four presets are playable, including Ultra at exactly 60 FPS.

At 1080p, the combo can handle the game at any graphics setting. At 1440p, users must stick to Low or Medium for a smooth experience. At 4K, only the lowest preset stays above the threshold, and even then it is close to the limit. This is a system that works well for 1080p gaming, but it struggles to maintain high frame rates at higher resolutions.

Best Settings per Resolution

The database identifies the most demanding preset that still stays at or above 60 FPS for each resolution:

• 3840x2160: Low, with an average FPS of 62.6.
• 2560x1440: Medium, with an average FPS of 69.8.
• 1920x1080: Ultra, with an average FPS of 60.

These are the highest settings that guarantee a playable experience. At 4K, Low is the only option. At 1440p, Medium provides a comfortable margin above 60. At 1080p, Ultra just barely hits the threshold, so users who want more headroom could drop to High for 79.3 FPS, but Ultra is technically playable.

Similar Performance Alternatives

If a user has a different CPU or GPU that performs similarly, the recorded results would be close. The Ryzen 5 4600G's nearest rivals, based on average benchmark scores, are the AMD Ryzen 3 PRO 5355GE (delta 0.1%), AMD Ryzen 3 8300GE (-0.6%), Intel Core 7 150U (0.6%), and Intel Core i3-14100T (-0.8%). Any of these processors would deliver essentially the same CPU-limited performance in Lockdown Protocol.

On the GPU side, the GTX 1070's nearest rivals are the AMD FirePro W5000 (-0.2%), NVIDIA Quadro M2000M (-0.5%), NVIDIA Tesla M10 (0.6%), and NVIDIA Tesla C2070 (0.7%). These cards have average benchmark scores within a fraction of a percent of the GTX 1070, so frame rates in this game would be very similar. For someone considering a swap, these parts represent the closest performance equivalents in the database.
