Lockdown Protocol

FAQ

Q: What is the maximum playable preset at 4K for this system?

A: At 3840x2160, only the Low preset stays above the 60 FPS threshold, with an average of 83.8 FPS. Medium drops to 57.4 FPS, High to 50 FPS, and Ultra to 38.6 FPS.

Q: Can this combo handle Ultra settings at 1440p?

A: Yes. At 2560x1440, Ultra runs at an average of 61.4 FPS, which clears the playable threshold of 60 FPS. High, Medium, and Low all also remain playable.

Q: Where does this CPU+GPU combination rank among all tested combos in this game?

A: The combination ranks 2,163 out of 3,714 tested combos, placing it in the upper portion of the database.

Best Settings per Resolution

At 3840x2160, the most demanding preset that stays at or above 60 FPS is Low, with an average of 83.8 FPS. Medium falls short at 57.4 FPS, so Low is the only playable option at 4K.

At 2560x1440, every preset clears the 60 FPS line. The most demanding playable setting is Ultra, which averages 61.4 FPS. This is a narrow margin, but it remains above the threshold.

At 1920x1080, Ultra is again the most demanding playable preset, averaging 82.4 FPS. The headroom here is substantial, with a 22.4 FPS cushion above the 60 FPS playable floor.

How This Combo Ranks

The database places this AMD Ryzen 5 4600G plus NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070 SUPER configuration at rank 2,163 out of 3,714 tested combos for Lockdown Protocol. That puts the system in the 58th percentile of tested combinations, meaning roughly 58% of recorded builds fall below it and about 42% sit above it.

In practical terms, this is a mid-to-upper tier placement. The ranking reflects the combined capability of the CPU and GPU across all tested resolutions and presets. The GPU carries most of the graphical weight, and its 65th percentile standing among all GPUs helps push the combo above the median. The CPU sits at the 71st percentile among all CPUs, which is a solid supporting position. The combination of a slightly above-average CPU and a slightly above-average GPU results in a system that handles 1080p and 1440p comfortably but struggles at 4K beyond low settings.

The rank also shows that there is meaningful headroom above this combo. With 1,551 combos ranked higher, users looking for 4K Ultra performance would need to move up the ladder considerably. Conversely, the 2,162 combos ranked below this system indicate that it outperforms a large share of the database.

Similar Performance Alternatives

For the CPU, the nearest rivals in the database are all within 0.8% of the Ryzen 5 4600G's average score of 17,507. The AMD Ryzen 3 PRO 5355GE scores 17,482, a 0.1% difference. The Intel Core 7 150U scores 17,395, 0.6% lower. The AMD Ryzen 3 8300GE scores 17,614, 0.6% higher. The Intel Core i3-14100T scores 17,648, 0.8% higher. Any of these processors would deliver near-identical CPU-bound behavior in Lockdown Protocol, so swapping between them would not meaningfully change frame rates in GPU-bound scenarios.

For the GPU, the closest alternatives are also tightly clustered. The NVIDIA Quadro M4000M scores 20,480, which is 1% below the RTX 2070 SUPER's 20,282 average. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Mobile scores 20,534, 1.2% above. The Intel Arc B570 scores 20,556, 1.3% above. The Intel Arc A750 scores 20,582, 1.5% above. All four sit within a narrow band of the RTX 2070 SUPER, meaning they would produce similar frame rates in Lockdown Protocol at the same settings and resolution. The differences are small enough that real-world results would fall within normal run-to-run variance.

CPU and GPU Roles

The recorded data shows that resolution scaling is the dominant factor in this game, which points to the GPU as the primary performance driver. Moving from 1920x1080 to 2560x1440 at Ultra drops the average from 82.4 FPS to 61.4 FPS, a 25.5% reduction. Moving from 2560x1440 to 3840x2160 at Ultra drops the average from 61.4 FPS to 38.6 FPS, a 37.1% reduction. This steep decline with increasing pixel count is a classic GPU-bound pattern.

The CPU's role becomes more apparent at lower resolutions and lower presets. At 1920x1080 Low, the system reaches 177.4 FPS, which is far above what the GPU alone would typically deliver at high framerates if the CPU were the limiting factor. The fact that frame rates continue to scale up as settings drop to Low indicates the CPU is capable of feeding the GPU effectively at 1080p. At 2560x1440 Low, the average is 130.1 FPS, and at 3840x2160 Low it is 83.8 FPS. The CPU maintains high throughput even as resolution changes, confirming it is not the bottleneck in this pairing.

Preset scaling further illustrates the GPU's dominance. At 1080p, the spread from Low to Ultra is 95 FPS (177.4 down to 82.4). At 1440p, the spread is 68.7 FPS (130.1 down to 61.4). At 4K, the spread is 45.2 FPS (83.8 down to 38.6). The shrinking spread at higher resolutions is exactly what happens when the GPU becomes progressively more saturated. The CPU's 12 threads and Zen 2 architecture provide enough compute headroom for this game's core logic, but the RTX 2070 SUPER's 8 GB of GDDR6 memory and 256-bit bus are what determine the ceiling at higher pixel counts.

The Verdict

This PC can run Lockdown Protocol, but the experience depends heavily on resolution and preset choice. At 1920x1080, all presets are playable, with Ultra averaging 82.4 FPS. At 2560x1440, all presets are also playable, with Ultra just clearing the bar at 61.4 FPS. At 3840x2160, only Low is playable, averaging 83.8 FPS. Medium, High, and Ultra at 4K all fall below the 60 FPS threshold, with averages of 57.4, 50, and 38.6 respectively.

For users targeting 1080p, this system is more than sufficient, with enough headroom to run Ultra and still stay well above 60 FPS. For 1440p, the system is adequate at Ultra but with a thin margin, so players sensitive to framerate dips may prefer High or Medium for extra stability. For 4K, the system is only viable at Low settings, and the gap between Low and Medium is large enough that any preset above Low will not provide a smooth experience.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 3840x2160, the measured averages are as follows: Low delivers 83.8 FPS, Medium delivers 57.4 FPS, High delivers 50 FPS, and Ultra delivers 38.6 FPS. The drop from Low to Medium is 26.4 FPS, and the drop from Medium to Ultra is 18.8 FPS. This resolution is only suitable for Low settings.

At 2560x1440, the measured averages are: Low at 130.1 FPS, Medium at 94.6 FPS, High at 77.5 FPS, and Ultra at 61.4 FPS. The step from High to Ultra is the smallest at 16.1 FPS, while Low to Medium is a 35.5 FPS jump. All presets clear the playable threshold.

At 1920x1080, the measured averages are: Low at 177.4 FPS, Medium at 123.7 FPS, High at 106.7 FPS, and Ultra at 82.4 FPS. The largest single step is from Low to Medium at 53.7 FPS, while the smallest is from High to Ultra at 24.3 FPS. Every preset provides a comfortable margin above 60 FPS, with Ultra being the only one that drops below the 100 FPS mark.

The data shows a consistent pattern: the RTX 2070 SUPER scales predictably with resolution and preset, and the Ryzen 5 4600G keeps pace across all tested configurations. The min and max FPS values were not recorded in the database, so the analysis relies on average frame rates, but the averages alone are sufficient to determine playability at the 60 FPS threshold.
