Best Settings per Resolution

At 3840x2160, the most demanding preset that stays at or above 60 FPS is High, which delivers an average of 76 FPS. Medium produces 87 FPS, and Low produces 123 FPS, but High offers the best visual fidelity while still clearing the playable threshold. Ultra falls short at 57 FPS, so it is not recommended at this resolution.

At 2560x1440, Ultra is the best choice, averaging 89 FPS. This preset provides maximum graphical quality while maintaining a comfortable margin above 60 FPS. High reaches 118 FPS, Medium reaches 135 FPS, and Low reaches 188 FPS, but none of these offer the visual benefits of Ultra at this resolution.

At 1920x1080, Ultra again takes the top spot with 121 FPS average. High delivers 161 FPS, Medium delivers 183 FPS, and Low delivers 208 FPS. The 121 FPS at Ultra leaves substantial headroom, so even demanding scenes should remain fluid.

Similar Performance Alternatives

For the CPU, the nearest rivals in benchmark performance are all within one percent of the Ryzen 5 4600G. The AMD Ryzen 3 PRO 5355GE (17482, 0.1% slower) would behave nearly identically in Lockdown Protocol. The Intel Core 7 150U (17395, 0.6% slower) and the AMD Ryzen 3 8300GE (17614, 0.6% faster) also fall within the same performance envelope. The Intel Core i3-14100T (17648, 0.8% faster) edges ahead slightly, but the differences are negligible for gaming at typical frame rates. Users moving between these CPUs should expect virtually the same FPS in this title.

For the GPU, the NVIDIA Tesla P4 (37628, 0.1% slower) and the AMD Radeon RX Vega 56 (37507, 0.4% slower) are the closest matches. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 Mobile (38135, 1.3% faster) offers a marginal improvement, while the AMD Radeon PRO W6400 (37157, 1.3% slower) trails slightly. None of these alternatives would shift the measured FPS by more than a few frames per second in practice. The RTX 4070's nearest rivals all sit within a 1.3% band, making them effectively interchangeable for this game.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 3840x2160, the recorded data shows a clear progression across presets. Low settings average 123 FPS. Medium settings average 87 FPS, with a minimum of 74 FPS and a maximum of 101 FPS. High settings average 76 FPS. Ultra settings drop to 57 FPS, which is the only sub-60 result in the entire dataset. The gap between Low and Ultra at this resolution is 66 FPS, indicating that the GPU's rendering load scales significantly with preset quality.

At 2560x1440, performance improves markedly. Low settings reach 188 FPS. Medium settings average 135 FPS, with a minimum of 115 FPS and a maximum of 156 FPS. High settings average 118 FPS. Ultra settings average 89 FPS. Every preset clears the 60 FPS threshold with substantial margin. The spread from Low to Ultra is 99 FPS, reflecting the same scaling pattern seen at 4K but at higher absolute values.

At 1920x1080, the system delivers its highest frame rates. Low settings hit 208 FPS. Medium settings average 183 FPS, with a minimum of 156 FPS and a maximum of 211 FPS. High settings average 161 FPS. Ultra settings average 121 FPS. The difference between Low and Ultra is 87 FPS. Notably, the minimum FPS at Medium (156) exceeds the average FPS at Ultra (121), which suggests that even mid-quality presets provide very consistent performance at this resolution.

The only measurements with recorded minimum and maximum values are the Medium presets at each resolution. At 4K, the 74 to 101 FPS range shows a 27 FPS variance. At 1440p, the 115 to 156 FPS range shows a 41 FPS variance. At 1080p, the 156 to 211 FPS range shows a 55 FPS variance. Higher resolutions compress the frame variance, which is typical when the GPU becomes the primary limiting factor.

The Verdict

This system can run Lockdown Protocol without question. The verdict data shows playable settings at every resolution tested. At 3840x2160, High, Medium, and Low presets all clear 60 FPS, with High being the best playable option at 76 FPS. Ultra at 4K is the only non-playable configuration, falling to 57 FPS.

At 2560x1440, all four presets are playable, including Ultra at 89 FPS. This makes 1440p the sweet spot for maximum visual quality. At 1920x1080, all presets are playable as well, with Ultra reaching 121 FPS. The system has enough headroom at 1080p to maintain high frame rates even in busy scenes.

The single sub-60 result (4K Ultra, 57 FPS) is a minor limitation, not a fundamental weakness. Users who prioritize 4K should stick to High settings or lower. Users who value maximum fidelity should target 1440p Ultra, which delivers 89 FPS with room to spare. The combination of the Ryzen 5 4600G and RTX 4070 proves more than capable for this title across the vast majority of configurations.

CPU and GPU Roles

The data reveals how the CPU and GPU split responsibilities across resolutions. At 1920x1080, the system achieves 208 FPS on Low settings, which is likely near the CPU's practical limit for frame generation. At 2560x1440, the same Low preset drops to 188 FPS, a 20 FPS reduction. At 3840x2160, Low drops further to 123 FPS, a 65 FPS reduction from 1080p. This scaling pattern indicates that the GPU becomes progressively more limiting as resolution increases, while the CPU's contribution remains relatively constant.

At Ultra settings, the resolution scaling is even more pronounced. The system delivers 121 FPS at 1080p, 89 FPS at 1440p, and 57 FPS at 4K. The drop from 1080p to 1440p is 32 FPS, and from 1440p to 4K is another 32 FPS. This consistent halving pattern points to GPU-bound behavior at high presets, where the RTX 4070's rendering throughput dictates performance.

The CPU's role is most visible at lower resolutions and lower presets. At 1080p Low, the 208 FPS figure suggests the Ryzen 5 4600G can sustain very high frame rates when the GPU is not heavily loaded. At 4K Low, the 123 FPS figure still exceeds the 60 FPS threshold, but the GPU's workload at higher pixel counts limits overall performance more than the CPU does.

The measured FPS spreads tell a similar story. At 1080p, the gap between Low and Ultra is 87 FPS. At 1440p, it widens to 99 FPS. At 4K, it narrows to 66 FPS. The widening gap from 1080p to 1440p suggests the GPU has more headroom to scale with quality settings at mid-range resolutions. The narrowing at 4K indicates the GPU approaches its ceiling, compressing the differences between presets.

In practical terms, the RTX 4070 dominates the performance picture at higher resolutions and higher presets. The Ryzen 5 4600G becomes more relevant at lower resolutions where high frame rates demand strong single-thread performance. For Lockdown Protocol specifically, the GPU is the primary driver of FPS at 1440p and above, while the CPU provides sufficient support at 1080p to avoid bottlenecking the GPU's output.
