Performance Analysis: Lockdown Protocol on Your System
The AMD Ryzen 5 5600 and AMD Radeon RX 6800 XT combination delivers a strong 1080p and 1440p experience in Lockdown Protocol, with 4K remaining viable at reduced settings. The data indicates this pairing sits comfortably above the playable threshold across most configurations, with the GPU shouldering the primary workload as resolution climbs.
How This Combo Ranks
Out of 3,714 tested combinations, this CPU and GPU pairing ranks at position 1,161. That places it in the upper third of all tested systems, a solid standing for a mid-range processor paired with a high-end graphics card. The rank reflects the overall balance between the Ryzen 5 5600's 74th percentile CPU score and the RX 6800 XT's 85th percentile GPU score. The CPU's average benchmark score of 20,468 trails the GPU's 48,477 average, indicating the graphics card is the stronger component in this pairing.
Benchmark results show the combo handles Lockdown Protocol with considerable headroom at lower resolutions. At 1920x1080, even the most demanding Ultra preset produces an average of 113 FPS, well above the 60 FPS playability threshold. The 2560x1440 resolution tells a similar story, with Ultra averaging 82 FPS. The 3840x2160 resolution is where the pairing begins to feel pressure, with Ultra dropping to 53 FPS average, just below playable. The ranking position suggests this combination outperforms roughly 69% of all tested systems in this game, a figure consistent with the strong 1080p and 1440p results.
Similar Performance Alternatives
The CPU's nearest rivals show that several processors deliver nearly identical compute performance. The Intel Core Ultra 7 258V scores 20,454, a mere 0.1% behind the Ryzen 5 5600's 20,468 average. The AMD Ryzen 5 8500G and AMD EPYC 9454P trail by 0.2% each, scoring 20,425 and 20,422 respectively. The AMD EPYC 7713 sits 0.5% behind at 20,363. In practical terms, any of these CPUs would produce indistinguishable frame rates in Lockdown Protocol when paired with the same GPU.
On the graphics side, the RX 6800 XT's nearest rivals present an interesting spread. The NVIDIA RTX A1000 Mobile scores 47,743, just 1.5% lower. The Intel Arc A550M runs 2.5% ahead at 49,737. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti and AMD Radeon RX Vega 64 both outpace the RX 6800 XT by 3%, scoring 49,957 and 50,001 respectively. These deltas are small enough that real-world gaming differences would be minor, though the RTX 5070 Ti and RX Vega 64 would offer a slight edge in frame rates. For Lockdown Protocol specifically, swapping the GPU for any of these rivals would keep the system within a few frames per second of the measured results.
CPU and GPU Roles
The scaling between resolutions reveals how the workload shifts between components. At 1920x1080 with Low settings, the combo produces 242 FPS average. Moving to 2560x1440 Low drops that to 177 FPS, a 27% reduction. The jump to 3840x2160 Low further reduces performance to 115 FPS, another 35% decline. This steep scaling curve indicates the GPU becomes progressively more dominant as pixel count rises.
The CPU's contribution is most visible at 1080p, where frame rates exceed 200 FPS at Low settings. At that point, the Ryzen 5 5600's six cores and 12 threads keep up with the RX 6800 XT's output. As resolution increases, the GPU's raw throughput becomes the limiting factor. The 16 GB of GDDR6 memory and 512.0 GB/s bandwidth on the RX 6800 XT handle the higher resolution textures, while the CPU's workload per frame remains relatively constant.
Preset scaling reinforces this division. At 1440p, moving from Low to Medium costs 51 FPS (177 to 126), while Medium to High costs 16 FPS (126 to 110). The jump from High to Ultra costs 28 FPS (110 to 82). This pattern suggests the GPU's shading units and texture units are the bottleneck at higher presets, not the CPU. The 4K results confirm this, where Ultra dips to 53 FPS average while Low maintains 115 FPS.
FAQ
*Q: Can this combo run Lockdown Protocol at 4K?*
A: Yes, but only at reduced settings. High settings produce 71 FPS average, Medium hits 81 FPS average, and Low reaches 115 FPS average. Ultra drops to 53 FPS average, below the 60 FPS playable threshold.
Q: What is the best quality setting at 2560x1440?
A: Ultra settings are fully playable, averaging 82 FPS. This exceeds the 60 FPS threshold, making Ultra the recommended choice for 1440p gaming.
Q: How does the CPU compare to its nearest rivals?
A: The Ryzen 5 5600's 20,468 average benchmark score places it 0.1% ahead of the Intel Core Ultra 7 258V, and 0.2% ahead of both the AMD Ryzen 5 8500G and AMD EPYC 9454P. The AMD EPYC 7713 trails by 0.5% at 20,363.
Q: Is the GPU or CPU more important for this game?
A: The GPU dominates performance at higher resolutions. At 4K Low, the combo hits 115 FPS, but at 1080p Low it reaches 242 FPS. The 127 FPS difference between these resolutions shows the RX 6800 XT's workload scaling with pixel count, while the CPU maintains consistent frame delivery.
Q: What frame rates can I expect at 1080p with Ultra settings?
A: The combination averages 113 FPS at 1920x1080 Ultra. This is comfortably above the 60 FPS playability threshold and represents the highest quality preset available at this resolution.
Q: How does the RX 6800 XT compare to the RTX 5070 Ti?
A: The RTX 5070 Ti scores 49,957 in average benchmarks, which is 3% higher than the RX 6800 XT's 48,477. This translates to a modest performance advantage for the RTX 5070 Ti in most games, including Lockdown Protocol.
Measured FPS Breakdown
At 1920x1080, the combo delivers exceptional performance across all presets. Low settings average 242 FPS, Medium averages 172 FPS with a minimum of 146 FPS and maximum of 198 FPS, High averages 150 FPS, and Ultra averages 113 FPS. Every preset exceeds the 60 FPS threshold by a wide margin.
The 2560x1440 results show slightly reduced but still strong performance. Low averages 177 FPS, Medium averages 126 FPS with a minimum of 107 FPS and maximum of 145 FPS, High averages 110 FPS, and Ultra averages 82 FPS. All presets remain comfortably playable.
At 3840x2160, performance becomes more variable. Low averages 115 FPS, Medium averages 81 FPS with a minimum of 69 FPS and maximum of 94 FPS, and High averages 71 FPS. Ultra drops to 53 FPS average, which falls below the 60 FPS playable standard. The Medium preset's minimum of 69 FPS shows that even at 4K, the system maintains playable frame rates during demanding scenes.
Best Settings per Resolution
At 1920x1080, the most demanding preset that stays at or above 60 FPS is Ultra, delivering 113 FPS average. This provides the highest visual quality while maintaining substantial headroom above the playability threshold.
At 2560x1440, Ultra settings remain the best option, averaging 82 FPS. The system has enough performance headroom that even the most demanding preset stays 22 FPS above the 60 FPS minimum.
At 3840x2160, High settings represent the best balance, averaging 71 FPS. While Medium achieves 81 FPS and Low reaches 115 FPS, High offers the highest quality that remains playable. Ultra at 53 FPS fails to meet the 60 FPS threshold, making High the optimal choice for 4K gaming.
