Lockdown Protocol

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, this pairing of AMD Ryzen 5 4600G and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 delivers strong frame rates across every preset. Low settings produce an average of 208 FPS, High lands at 133 FPS, and Medium averages 152 FPS with a minimum of 129 FPS and maximum of 175 FPS. Ultra remains comfortably smooth at 99 FPS average, which clears the 60 FPS playability threshold by a wide margin.

Moving to 2560x1440, the results stay well within playable territory for all four presets. Low settings average 157 FPS, High drops to 97 FPS, and Medium averages 111 FPS with a recorded range of 95 to 128 FPS. Ultra still holds at 73 FPS average, which leaves enough headroom for demanding scenes without dipping toward the 60 FPS floor.

At 3840x2160, the picture changes noticeably. Ultra falls to 47 FPS average, which sits below the 60 FPS playability threshold and would produce visible stutter in fast-paced FPS action. Medium averages 72 FPS with a minimum of 61 FPS and maximum of 83 FPS, so it barely clears the threshold at the low end. High averages 63 FPS, while Low averages 101 FPS. The 4K data shows that only Low, Medium, and High presets are viable, with Medium being the safest choice if you want a buffer above 60 FPS.

The pattern across resolutions is consistent: this combo scales predictably, with the RTX 3070 doing most of the heavy lifting at higher resolutions while the Ryzen 5 4600G keeps up at 1080p and 1440p. The 4K Ultra result is the only configuration that fails the 60 FPS requirement.

Similar Performance Alternatives

Looking at the CPU side, the Ryzen 5 4600G sits in a tight cluster of comparable processors. The AMD Ryzen 3 PRO 5355GE scores within 0.1 percent of it, meaning you would see virtually identical performance in Lockdown Protocol. The Intel Core 7 150U is 0.6 percent ahead, while the AMD Ryzen 3 8300GE trails by 0.6 percent. The Intel Core i3-14100T is 0.8 percent slower in aggregate benchmarks. These deltas are small enough that any of these CPUs would produce nearly the same frame rates in this game, assuming the GPU remains constant.

On the GPU side, the RTX 3070 has nearby rivals that would behave similarly in this title. The AMD Radeon RX 7600 XT scores 0.7 percent higher in average benchmark score, making it a near-direct substitute. The NVIDIA GeForce GTX 690 and AMD Radeon HD 7970M are 1 percent and 1.1 percent behind respectively, while the NVIDIA Tesla K40c is 1.5 percent ahead in raw compute benchmarks. For gaming specifically, the RX 7600 XT is the most relevant comparison, as the other three are older or workstation-oriented parts that may not translate benchmark scores directly into FPS in Lockdown Protocol.

If you already own any of these rival CPUs or GPUs, the measured FPS figures here should closely approximate what you would see. The CPU rivalries matter most at 1080p Low, where the processor has more influence on the 208 FPS result. At 4K, the GPU dominates, so the GPU rivalries become more relevant.

How This Combo Ranks

The database ranks this exact combination at 1629 out of 3714 tested configurations for Lockdown Protocol. That places it in the upper half of all combos, roughly in the 56th percentile. This is a respectable position, though not a top-tier one. The ranking reflects that the RTX 3070 is a capable mid-range card in 2024, while the Ryzen 5 4600G is a budget-oriented CPU from the 4000 series with six cores and twelve threads.

The rank suggests that many faster combinations exist, primarily those pairing higher-end CPUs with the RTX 3070 or pairing the RTX 3070 with newer processors. However, the measured frame rates show that this combo still clears 60 FPS at every resolution except 4K Ultra, so the rank does not indicate a broken or subpar experience. It simply means that roughly 44 percent of tested combos deliver higher average FPS in this specific game.

For context, the CPU itself ranks in the 71st percentile against all CPUs in the database, while the GPU ranks in the 61st percentile against all GPUs. The combo rank sits between these two values, which makes sense because the game's performance depends on both components working together. The CPU is relatively stronger than the GPU in the aggregate benchmark data, but Lockdown Protocol leans on GPU throughput at higher resolutions.

The Verdict

This PC can run Lockdown Protocol at 60 FPS or better in most configurations. At 1920x1080, all four presets clear the threshold, with Ultra averaging 99 FPS. At 2560x1440, Ultra also passes at 73 FPS average, so you can run the game at maximum settings on a 1440p monitor. At 3840x2160, the picture is more limited: High averages 63 FPS, Medium averages 72 FPS with a minimum of 61 FPS, and Low averages 101 FPS. Only Ultra fails, dropping to 47 FPS.

The practical takeaway is that this combo is a solid 1440p machine for Lockdown Protocol, and it can handle 4K if you stay at High settings or below. The 4K Medium result is the most interesting one because its minimum FPS of 61 stays above the threshold, making it the only preset at 4K with a recorded minimum that clears 60 FPS. High at 4K has no recorded minimum, so its 63 FPS average could dip lower in heavy scenes, though the data does not show that.

If you own a 1080p or 1440p monitor, you have nothing to worry about. If you are pushing 4K, stick to Medium for safety or High if you are willing to accept a smaller margin above the 60 FPS line.

FAQ

Q: Can this PC run Lockdown Protocol at 4K Ultra settings?

A: No. The measured average FPS at 3840x2160 Ultra is 47, which falls below the 60 FPS playability threshold.

Q: What is the best preset for 1440p gaming with this combo?

A: Ultra is playable at 2560x1440 with an average of 73 FPS, making it the best choice if you want maximum visual quality while staying above 60 FPS.

Q: Does the Ryzen 5 4600G bottleneck the RTX 3070 in this game?

A: The data does not indicate a severe bottleneck. At 1080p Low, the combo reaches 208 FPS average, which suggests the CPU can feed the GPU sufficiently for high frame rates. The CPU's aggregate benchmark score places it in the 71st percentile, so it is not a weak link.

Q: How does this combo compare to one with an RX 7600 XT instead of the RTX 3070?

A: The RX 7600 XT scores 0.7 percent higher in average GPU benchmark score. In practice, you would see nearly identical frame rates in Lockdown Protocol, with the RX 7600 XT being slightly faster.

Q: Is 4K Medium a safe choice for maintaining 60 FPS at all times?

A: Yes, based on the recorded data. At 3840x2160 Medium, the minimum FPS is 61, average is 72, and maximum is 83. The minimum stays above the 60 FPS threshold.

Q: What percentage of tested combos does this setup outperform?

A: This combo ranks 1629 out of 3714 tested combinations, meaning it outperforms roughly 56 percent of all configurations in the database for Lockdown Protocol.

Best Settings per Resolution

At 1920x1080, the most demanding preset that stays at or above 60 FPS is Ultra, which averages 99 FPS. There is no reason to lower settings at this resolution, as even the heaviest preset leaves substantial headroom.

At 2560x1440, Ultra is also the best choice, averaging 73 FPS. This clears the threshold comfortably, so you can enjoy full visual fidelity without sacrificing smoothness.

At 3840x2160, the most demanding playable preset is High, averaging 63 FPS. However, if you prioritize a consistent experience over peak image quality, Medium is the safer pick because its minimum FPS of 61 stays above the threshold, while High has no recorded minimum to confirm stability. Low is also an option, averaging 101 FPS, but it offers no visual benefit over Medium or High. The database verdict lists High as the best setting at 4K with 63 FPS average, but the Medium preset's recorded minimum of 61 FPS makes it the only 4K configuration with verified floor stability above 60 FPS.
