Lockdown Protocol

Best Settings per Resolution

At 1920x1080, the most demanding preset that holds at or above 60 FPS is Ultra, which records an average of 141.3 FPS. This is far above the 60 FPS playability threshold, so the combo has ample headroom even at the highest settings.

At 2560x1440, Ultra remains the most demanding playable preset, delivering an average of 105.1 FPS. That is still comfortably above 60 FPS, with roughly 45 FPS of margin before hitting the playability floor.

At 3840x2160, Ultra also stays playable, averaging 68.8 FPS. It clears the 60 FPS threshold by 8.8 FPS, which is a narrower margin than at lower resolutions. For users who prefer more frame rate cushion at 4K, dropping to High increases the average to 87.7 FPS, while Medium reaches 104 FPS and Low reaches 142.5 FPS. The data shows that every preset tested at every resolution stays at or above 60 FPS, but Ultra at 4K is the only configuration that sits close to the threshold.

CPU and GPU Roles

The scaling pattern across resolutions and presets indicates that the GPU is the dominant performance driver in Lockdown Protocol. At 1920x1080, the spread between Low and Ultra is 66 FPS (207.3 down to 141.3). At 2560x1440, the same preset range spans 84.8 FPS (189.9 down to 105.1). At 3840x2160, the spread grows to 73.7 FPS (142.5 down to 68.8). The fact that Ultra at 4K drops to 68.8 FPS while Low at 1080p reaches 207.3 FPS shows that resolution and settings scaling is steep, which is characteristic of a GPU-bound workload.

The CPU still matters for maintaining high frame rates at lower resolutions. At 1920x1080 Low, the average of 207.3 FPS suggests that the Ryzen 5 4600G can feed the RTX 4070 Ti well enough to reach very high frame rates. However, the gap between 1080p Low and 1440p Low is only 17.4 FPS, while the gap between 1440p Low and 4K Low is 47.4 FPS. This indicates that as resolution increases, the GPU becomes progressively more limiting, which is expected for a fast GPU paired with a mid-range CPU.

The CPU's benchmark profile supports this interpretation. The Ryzen 5 4600G scores 726 in 3DMark single-thread and 4889 in 3DMark max threads, with a Cinebench R23 multicore score of 13593 and a single-core score of 1919. These numbers place the CPU at the 71st percentile against all CPUs. The GPU, by contrast, sits at the 84th percentile against all GPUs with a Passmark G3D score of 31624. The GPU's higher percentile ranking aligns with the observed behavior where the GPU governs the majority of performance scaling across settings and resolutions.

At 1080p, the CPU's role is more visible: the difference between Low and Medium is only 26.9 FPS, while the difference between Medium and High is 5.2 FPS, and between High and Ultra it is 33.9 FPS. These uneven steps suggest that some settings shifts are more demanding on the GPU, while others may engage CPU-related scene complexity. At 4K, the step from Low to Medium is 38.5 FPS, Medium to High is 16.3 FPS, and High to Ultra is 18.9 FPS, which shows a more consistent GPU-bound response.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the recorded averages are: Low 207.3 FPS, Medium 180.4 FPS, High 175.2 FPS, and Ultra 141.3 FPS. The minimum and maximum values are not recorded in the database for any resolution or preset, so the analysis relies on average frame rates.

At 2560x1440, the averages are: Low 189.9 FPS, Medium 159.1 FPS, High 139.9 FPS, and Ultra 105.1 FPS. The drop from 1080p to 1440p is consistent across settings: Low loses 17.4 FPS, Medium loses 21.3 FPS, High loses 35.3 FPS, and Ultra loses 36.2 FPS.

At 3840x2160, the averages are: Low 142.5 FPS, Medium 104 FPS, High 87.7 FPS, and Ultra 68.8 FPS. Moving from 1440p to 4K, Low loses 47.4 FPS, Medium loses 55.1 FPS, High loses 52.2 FPS, and Ultra loses 36.3 FPS.

The most demanding preset at each resolution remains Ultra, and the least demanding is Low. The scaling from Low to Ultra at 1080p is a 31.8% reduction in average FPS. At 1440p, the reduction is 44.7%. At 4K, the reduction is 51.7%. This shows that Ultra becomes relatively more expensive as resolution increases, which is a typical pattern for a GPU-bound title with heavy shading and post-processing effects.

Similar Performance Alternatives

The nearest rivals for the AMD Ryzen 5 4600G, based on average benchmark scores, are all within a narrow performance band. The AMD Ryzen 3 PRO 5355GE scores 17482, which is 0.1% higher than the 4600G's average of 17507. The AMD Ryzen 3 8300GE scores 17614, which is 0.6% higher. The Intel Core 7 150U scores 17395, which is 0.6% lower. The Intel Core i3-14100T scores 17648, which is 0.8% higher. For Lockdown Protocol, any of these CPUs would deliver essentially the same CPU-side performance envelope, meaning frame rates at 1080p Low and Medium would be very close to what the 4600G produces.

The nearest rivals for the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti are similarly close. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 Mobile scores 45152, which is 0.8% lower than the 4070 Ti's average of 44795. The AMD Radeon Pro 5500 XT scores 45384, which is 1.3% higher. The NVIDIA RTX A6000 scores 44075, which is 1.6% lower. The Intel Arc A730M scores 45592, which is 1.7% higher. In practical terms, a system using any of these GPUs paired with a comparable CPU would produce frame rates within a few percent of the measurements recorded here. The 4070 Ti's nearest rivals do not include another desktop GeForce card in the same tier, so the performance class is defined by these mobile and prosumer parts.

Because the CPU and GPU rivals are so tightly grouped, the overall gaming behavior of a similar combo would be nearly identical. The frame rate differences at any given resolution and preset would likely fall within the run-to-run variance of the game itself.

The Verdict

This PC can run Lockdown Protocol at every resolution and preset tested. At 1920x1080, the playable settings include Low, Medium, High, and Ultra, with the best settings being Ultra at an average of 141.3 FPS. At 2560x1440, all four presets are also playable, with Ultra averaging 105.1 FPS. At 3840x2160, all four presets remain playable, with Ultra averaging 68.8 FPS.

The verdict by resolution confirms that the combo clears the 60 FPS threshold in every category. The strongest configuration is Ultra at 1080p, where the frame rate is more than double the playability threshold. At 4K Ultra, the margin shrinks to 8.8 FPS, so users who want more consistency at 4K should consider High or Medium. The overall picture is that this hardware pairing provides a smooth experience across the board, with the only caveat being the relatively slim headroom at 4K Ultra.

How This Combo Ranks

In the database, this combination of AMD Ryzen 5 4600G and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti ranks 758th out of 3714 tested combos for Lockdown Protocol. That places it in the top 20.4% of all tested systems. The ranking reflects the fact that the GPU is a high-end part at the 84th percentile, while the CPU is a mid-range part at the 71st percentile. The combination is strong enough to run the game at maximum settings at all three resolutions, but the 4K Ultra result is the weakest point, sitting just 8.8 FPS above the playability threshold. Users with higher refresh rate displays at 1440p or 1080p will find the combo particularly capable, as it sustains well over 100 FPS at those resolutions even on Ultra.
