Lockdown Protocol

FAQ

Q: Can the AMD Ryzen 5 4600G and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 maintain 60 FPS in Lockdown Protocol at 1080p?

A: Yes. At 1920x1080, every preset tested clears the 60 FPS threshold. The lowest average is 88 FPS on Ultra, while Low reaches 189 FPS, Medium hits 134 FPS, and High lands at 117 FPS.

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

A: Ultra settings at 2560x1440 produce an average of 64 FPS, which is above the 60 FPS playability threshold. This makes Ultra the most demanding preset that remains playable at this resolution.

Q: Is 4K gaming viable with this hardware?

A: Partially. At 3840x2160, Medium settings average 63 FPS with a minimum of 54 FPS, which is playable but with occasional dips below 60. Low settings average 89 FPS. High settings average 55 FPS, and Ultra drops to 42 FPS, both below the threshold.

Best Settings per Resolution

The measured data identifies the most demanding preset that maintains at least 60 FPS average at each resolution. At 1920x1080, the RTX 4060 and Ryzen 5 4600G combination can run Ultra settings with an average of 88 FPS. This is the highest quality preset available, and it still provides a comfortable margin above the 60 FPS playability threshold. Medium settings at this resolution average 134 FPS, High averages 117 FPS, and Low reaches 189 FPS, but Ultra is the obvious choice for visual fidelity without sacrificing smoothness.

Moving to 2560x1440, the best playable preset is also Ultra, with an average of 64 FPS. The margin above 60 FPS is slimmer than at 1080p, but it remains playable. High settings at 1440p average 86 FPS, Medium averages 98 FPS, and Low averages 138 FPS, so there is headroom for users who prefer higher frame rates over maximum detail.

At 3840x2160, the situation changes. Ultra settings average 42 FPS and High averages 55 FPS, both below the 60 FPS threshold. Medium settings average 63 FPS, which clears the playability bar, making Medium the best preset for 4K. Low settings average 89 FPS, so users who prioritize frame rate over visual quality can still get a very smooth experience at 4K Low. The minimum recorded FPS at 4K Medium is 54, indicating occasional dips below 60, but the average remains acceptable.

CPU and GPU Roles

The benchmark data for Lockdown Protocol shows how the balance between CPU and GPU shifts across resolutions. At 1920x1080, the RTX 4060 is likely the limiting factor, but the Ryzen 5 4600G's 6 cores and 12 threads provide sufficient headroom. The frame rate drops from 189 FPS at Low to 88 FPS at Ultra, a reduction of 101 FPS or roughly 53%. This scaling suggests that the GPU is doing most of the heavy lifting at 1080p, since lowering graphical settings directly translates to higher frame rates.

At 2560x1440, the same pattern holds but with a narrower gap. Low settings average 138 FPS, while Ultra averages 64 FPS, a difference of 74 FPS or about 54%. The fact that the percentage drop is nearly identical to 1080p indicates that the GPU remains the dominant factor at 1440p. The CPU's performance, as measured by its 71st percentile ranking among all CPUs, appears sufficient to feed the GPU at this resolution.

At 3840x2160, the GPU becomes even more critical. Low settings average 89 FPS, but Ultra drops to 42 FPS, a reduction of 47 FPS or about 53%. The consistent percentage scaling across all three resolutions suggests that Lockdown Protocol is heavily GPU-bound, with the RTX 4060's 8 GB of GDDR6 memory and 272.0 GB/s bandwidth being the primary constraint at higher detail levels. The CPU's role diminishes as resolution increases, since the pixel throughput demands fall entirely on the GPU. The data shows no resolution where the CPU appears to bottleneck the GPU, as frame rates scale predictably with graphical settings at every resolution.

The Verdict

This PC can run Lockdown Protocol, but the experience depends heavily on the chosen resolution and preset. At 1920x1080, all four presets clear the 60 FPS threshold, with Ultra averaging 88 FPS. This is the sweet spot for this combo: maximum visual quality at a comfortably playable frame rate. Users with high refresh rate monitors can also explore Medium at 134 FPS or Low at 189 FPS for competitive play.

At 2560x1440, the combo remains fully playable. Ultra averages 64 FPS, which is above the threshold, and every other preset exceeds 60 FPS by a wider margin. High settings at 86 FPS offer a good balance between image quality and smoothness, while Medium at 98 FPS and Low at 138 FPS provide additional headroom. This resolution is a strong choice for this hardware.

At 3840x2160, the verdict is more nuanced. Medium settings average 63 FPS, making it the only preset above the 60 FPS threshold, but the minimum of 54 FPS means there will be noticeable stutters during intense scenes. Low settings average 89 FPS and are fully playable. High and Ultra are not viable, as they average 55 FPS and 42 FPS respectively. For 4K gaming, users should stick to Medium or Low, or consider lowering resolution to 1440p for a more consistent experience.

Similar Performance Alternatives

Looking at the nearest rivals for the CPU, the AMD Ryzen 3 PRO 5355GE has an average benchmark score of 17482, which is 0.1% lower than the Ryzen 5 4600G's 17507. This means the PRO 5355GE would perform nearly identically in Lockdown Protocol, assuming the GPU stays the same. The Intel Core 7 150U scores 17395, 0.6% lower, and the Intel Core i3-14100T scores 17648, which is 0.8% higher. Any of these processors would produce essentially the same frame rates as the 4600G, since the game appears GPU-bound at all tested resolutions.

For the GPU, the AMD Radeon HD 7790 has an average score of 17666, which is 0.2% higher than the RTX 4060's 17639. This is a surprisingly close match in synthetic benchmarks, though the HD 7790 lacks modern features like ray tracing and DLSS. The AMD Radeon 780M scores 17588, 0.3% lower, and the AMD Radeon Pro 560 scores 17551, 0.5% lower. The AMD Radeon Pro 460 trails by 0.7% with a score of 17509. In practical terms, these GPUs would deliver similar average frame rates in Lockdown Protocol, but the RTX 4060's 8 GB memory and newer architecture may provide better consistency in demanding scenes.

Users considering alternative hardware should look for CPUs and GPUs with benchmark scores within a few percentage points of this combo. The data indicates that the RTX 4060's nearest rivals are all within 0.7% of its average score, so swapping to any of them would result in nearly identical gameplay performance. The CPU's rivals are similarly close, with the largest delta being 0.8% from the Core i3-14100T.

How This Combo Ranks

In the database's testing of Lockdown Protocol, this AMD Ryzen 5 4600G and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 combination ranks 2009 out of 3714 tested combos. This places it in the 54th percentile of all tested configurations, meaning it outperforms slightly more than half of the systems in the database. The ranking reflects the mid-range nature of both components: the CPU sits in the 71st percentile of all CPUs, while the GPU sits in the 61st percentile of all GPUs.

The rank is influenced by the fact that Lockdown Protocol is a modern FPS released in 2024, and the RTX 4060's 8 GB VRAM and 128-bit memory bus limit its performance at higher resolutions. The combo's strongest showing is at 1080p, where it can run Ultra settings at 88 FPS, but its 4K performance is constrained to Medium settings. The 2009th rank out of 3714 suggests that many newer or higher-end combos will outperform it, particularly at 1440p and 4K with maximum detail settings.

For context, the combo's average frame rates are solid for its class, but the data shows that users seeking 4K Ultra gameplay would need more powerful hardware. The recorded measurements indicate that this system is best suited for 1080p and 1440p gaming, where it delivers playable frame rates across all presets. The ranking reflects this balance: it is not a top-tier system, but it is far from the bottom, and it handles Lockdown Protocol competently at most settings.
