Lockdown Protocol

Can AMD Ryzen 5 4600G + NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 run Lockdown Protocol? The recorded data indicates a definitive yes across all tested resolutions and settings. The combination of the 6-core, 12-thread AMD Ryzen 5 4600G and the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 delivers frame rates that consistently exceed the 60 FPS playable threshold, with the most demanding preset at 4K still producing an average of 73 FPS.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The database contains complete measured FPS data for three resolutions and four quality presets. At 1920x1080, the combo is overwhelmingly fast. The Low preset delivers an average of 208 FPS, Medium averages 183 FPS with a minimum of 156 FPS and a maximum of 211 FPS, High averages 175 FPS, and even the Ultra preset maintains an average of 155 FPS. This means at 1080p, every single preset runs at well over double the 60 FPS playable threshold, with the gap between Low and Ultra being only 53 FPS.

Moving to 2560x1440, performance remains exceptionally strong. The Low preset produces an average of 188 FPS, Medium drops slightly to 165 FPS with a minimum of 140 FPS and a maximum of 190 FPS, High averages 151 FPS, and Ultra still manages 113 FPS. The step from 1080p to 1440p costs roughly 20 to 42 FPS depending on the preset, but the overall experience stays far above the playable threshold. Even the most demanding Ultra settings at this resolution leave a 53 FPS margin above the 60 FPS line.

At 3840x2160, the data shows the first signs of meaningful load on the system, but performance remains comfortably playable. The Low preset averages 157 FPS, Medium averages 112 FPS with a minimum of 95 FPS and a maximum of 129 FPS, High averages 98 FPS, and Ultra averages 73 FPS. The 4K Ultra figure is the lowest recorded average across the entire dataset, yet it still clears the 60 FPS threshold by 13 FPS. The minimum recorded frame rate anywhere in the measurements is 95 FPS, which occurs at 4K Medium, indicating that even the worst-case dips stay well above the playability line.

How This Combo Ranks

The database ranks this specific CPU and GPU combination at position 614 out of 3714 tested combos for Lockdown Protocol. That places it in the top 16.5% of all recorded configurations for this title. This is a strong result, especially considering the CPU is a Ryzen 5 4600G, which sits at the 71st percentile among all CPUs in the database. The GPU, an RTX 4080, ranks in the 86th percentile among all GPUs. The combination of a mid-range CPU with a high-end GPU produces a ranking that reflects the GPU's dominant role in this game's performance.

The CPU's nearest rivals in the database provide context for its contribution. The AMD Ryzen 3 PRO 5355GE scores within 0.1% of the 4600G, and the AMD Ryzen 3 8300GE is 0.6% slower. The Intel Core 7 150U is 0.6% faster, and the Intel Core i3-14100T is 0.8% faster. These are all very close deltas, confirming that the 4600G's processing power is competitive with other modern budget and mid-range options. For the GPU, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER scores 0.1% higher, while the AMD Radeon Pro W5700X is 1.1% lower, the AMD Radeon RX 6750 GRE 12 GB is 2.6% lower, and the AMD Radeon 8060S is 2.7% lower. The RTX 4080 sits in a tight cluster at the top of the GPU performance hierarchy.

The combo rank of 614 is heavily influenced by the RTX 4080. The CPU, while not a top-tier part, is more than sufficient to feed the GPU in this title. The data suggests that the overall ranking would be significantly lower if the GPU were the bottleneck, but the measured FPS values across all resolutions indicate the pairing works well together.

CPU and GPU Roles

The measured FPS scaling between resolutions and presets reveals which component carries the load. The RTX 4080 is clearly the dominant factor in Lockdown Protocol. At 1920x1080, the gap between Low and Ultra is 53 FPS (208 vs 155). At 2560x1440, that same gap is 75 FPS (188 vs 113). At 3840x2160, the gap widens to 84 FPS (157 vs 73). This increasing spread as resolution rises is a classic sign of GPU-bound scaling: higher resolutions and more demanding presets place additional strain on the graphics card, and the RTX 4080 responds by dropping frame rates in a predictable, smooth manner.

The CPU's role is less visible in the preset scaling but still relevant. At 1080p Low, the system produces 208 FPS, a figure that is likely near the CPU's practical limit for this game. The Ryzen 5 4600G, with its 6 cores and 12 threads, is capable of sustaining high frame rates, but it does not have the single-thread headroom of newer or higher-clocked parts. The 3DMark single-thread score of 726 and the PassMark single-thread score of 2653 place it in a modest position, and the Cinebench R23 single-core score of 1919 confirms this. However, even at 1080p Low, the 208 FPS average shows no problematic CPU bottleneck.

At 4K Ultra, the RTX 4080 is clearly the limiting factor, with the average dropping to 73 FPS. The CPU has far less work to do at this resolution relative to the GPU, and the 4600G is not the constraint. The data shows a smooth performance curve across all settings, which indicates that the CPU keeps up with the GPU's output without introducing stutter or frame time spikes. The minimum recorded FPS of 95 at 4K Medium further supports this, as it shows the system maintains consistent frame delivery even under load.

Best Settings per Resolution

At 1920x1080, the most demanding preset that stays at or above 60 FPS is Ultra, which delivers an average of 155 FPS. This is the highest quality setting available and it runs at nearly three times the playable threshold. At 2560x1440, Ultra is also the best choice, with an average of 113 FPS. The 1440p Ultra figure is 42 FPS lower than the 1080p Ultra result, but it still provides a substantial margin above the 60 FPS line. At 3840x2160, Ultra remains the best setting, with an average of 73 FPS. This is the only resolution where Ultra dips close to the playable threshold, but it does not cross it. For players who prefer maximum visual fidelity at 4K, Ultra is viable, while those who want a larger safety margin can step down to High at 98 FPS or Medium at 112 FPS.

The Verdict

The verdict by resolution is unambiguous: this system can run Lockdown Protocol at every tested resolution and preset combination. At 1920x1080, all four presets are playable, with Ultra averaging 155 FPS. At 2560x1440, all four presets are playable, with Ultra averaging 113 FPS. At 3840x2160, all four presets are playable, with Ultra averaging 73 FPS. The playable settings list for each resolution includes High, Low, Medium, and Ultra, meaning there is no configuration in the database that falls below the 60 FPS threshold. The worst-case scenario, 4K Ultra, still maintains a 13 FPS buffer. The Ryzen 5 4600G, paired with the RTX 4080, is a capable combination for this FPS title, delivering smooth performance across the board. The data confirms that this is a high-performing setup for Lockdown Protocol, with the RTX 4080 doing most of the heavy lifting and the 4600G providing sufficient support.
