Lockdown Protocol

The AMD Ryzen 5 5600 and AMD Radeon RX 7800 XT combination delivers a wide range of performance in Lockdown Protocol, scaling from a highly playable 109.3 FPS at 1080p Ultra to a just-below-60 FPS 54.4 at 4K Ultra. Benchmark data indicates that this pairing is versatile across resolutions, though the GPU becomes the limiting factor at higher settings.

Similar Performance Alternatives

The Ryzen 5 5600 sits at the 74th percentile among all tested CPUs, with an average benchmark score of 20468. Its nearest rivals in the database are clustered within a narrow performance band. The Intel Core Ultra 7 258V scores 20454, a delta of just 0.1% behind the Ryzen 5 5600. The AMD Ryzen 5 8500G follows at 20425, representing a 0.2% deficit. The AMD EPYC 9454P also scores 20422, another 0.2% gap, while the AMD EPYC 7713 trails slightly further at 20363, a 0.5% difference. These four alternatives would behave nearly identically in CPU-bound scenarios within Lockdown Protocol, meaning any of them paired with the same GPU would produce comparable frame rates.

On the graphics side, the Radeon RX 7800 XT has an average benchmark score of 11627, placing it at the 51st percentile of all GPUs. Its nearest rival is the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1660 with a score of 11680, which is 0.5% higher. The AMD Radeon Pro 5500M scores 11528, 0.9% lower. The NVIDIA Tesla K20c achieves 11479, a 1.3% deficit, and the AMD Radeon RX 6500 XT scores 11842, which is 1.8% ahead. These results suggest the RX 7800 XT performs in a similar tier to older or lower-tier cards in synthetic benchmarks, but the measured FPS in Lockdown Protocol shows the actual gaming performance is robust. When paired with the Ryzen 5 5600, the GPU's nearest rivals would likely yield similar frame rates in GPU-bound scenarios, particularly at 4K resolution.

CPU and GPU Roles

The data reveals how the CPU and GPU split responsibilities across resolutions in Lockdown Protocol. At 1920x1080 with Low settings, the combo achieves 237.2 FPS. This high frame rate indicates the GPU is not heavily taxed, allowing the Ryzen 5 5600 to feed frames efficiently. Moving to 2560x1440 Low drops the average to 170.7 FPS, a reduction of 66.5 FPS or roughly 28% from 1080p. At 3840x2160 Low, the average falls further to 111.4 FPS, another 59.3 FPS drop. This scaling pattern shows that even at Low presets, resolution increases place progressively more load on the GPU.

The CPU's role becomes more apparent when comparing presets at a fixed resolution. At 1080p, the gap between Low and Ultra is 237.2 versus 109.3 FPS, a difference of 127.9 FPS. At 1440p, the same preset swing yields 170.7 versus 78.7 FPS, a 92 FPS gap. At 4K, Low produces 111.4 FPS while Ultra drops to 54.4 FPS, a 57 FPS difference. The shrinking delta between Low and Ultra as resolution increases confirms that the GPU becomes the dominant constraint at higher pixel counts. Conversely, the CPU's influence is strongest at 1080p Low, where the 237.2 FPS result suggests the Ryzen 5 5600's six cores and twelve threads are sufficient to avoid bottlenecking the RX 7800 XT in lighter scenes.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the data shows a clear progression across presets. Low settings produce an average of 237.2 FPS. Medium reduces that to 168.7 FPS, a 68.5 FPS drop. High yields 145.5 FPS, which is 23.2 FPS below Medium. Ultra delivers 109.3 FPS, falling 36.2 FPS from High. Every preset at this resolution clears the 60 FPS playability threshold by a substantial margin, with even the most demanding setting achieving nearly double the threshold.

Moving to 2560x1440, the averages remain strong but lower. Low settings hit 170.7 FPS, which is 66.5 FPS below the 1080p Low result. Medium produces 121.7 FPS, a 47 FPS reduction from Low. High reaches 105.9 FPS, down 15.8 FPS from Medium. Ultra delivers 78.7 FPS, a 27.2 FPS decrease from High. All four presets stay above 60 FPS, with Ultra maintaining a 18.7 FPS cushion over the playability threshold.

At 3840x2160, performance tightens considerably. Low settings average 111.4 FPS, which remains highly playable. Medium drops to 79.3 FPS, a 32.1 FPS reduction. High achieves 69 FPS, falling 10.3 FPS below Medium. Ultra averages 54.4 FPS, which is 14.6 FPS below High and does not meet the 60 FPS playability standard. The 4K results show that only the top preset fails to reach the threshold, while High still provides a 9 FPS margin above playable.

How This Combo Ranks

Among all tested hardware combinations in Lockdown Protocol, this pairing ranks 1230th out of 3714 total combos. This places the Ryzen 5 5600 and RX 7800 XT in the upper third of all systems, roughly in the 67th percentile of tested configurations. The rank reflects the balance between the CPU's 74th percentile standing and the GPU's 51st percentile placement. The combination outperforms its individual GPU percentile, indicating that Lockdown Protocol responds well to the CPU's strengths in certain scenarios. The 1230 rank suggests that while many faster systems exist, this combo sits comfortably ahead of the majority of tested hardware, and the measured FPS results confirm it handles the game well at most settings.

The Verdict

The verdict data shows that this system can run Lockdown Protocol at 60 FPS or above in most configurations. At 1920x1080, all four presets are playable, with Ultra averaging 109.3 FPS. At 2560x1440, every preset also clears the threshold, with Ultra at 78.7 FPS. At 3840x2160, three of four presets are playable: High averages 69 FPS, Medium 79.3 FPS, and Low 111.4 FPS. Only 4K Ultra fails to reach 60 FPS, averaging 54.4 FPS. For users targeting 60 FPS, the system delivers at 1080p and 1440p with no compromises, and at 4K it requires dropping from Ultra to High or lower. The data indicates that 4K Ultra is the sole configuration where the hardware falls short of the playability threshold.

Best Settings per Resolution

At 1920x1080, the most demanding preset that stays at or above 60 FPS is Ultra, which averages 109.3 FPS. This provides a 49.3 FPS margin above the threshold, leaving headroom for demanding scenes. At 2560x1440, Ultra also remains the best playable setting, averaging 78.7 FPS. This gives an 18.7 FPS buffer over 60 FPS. At 3840x2160, the best playable setting is High, averaging 69 FPS. This maintains a 9 FPS margin above the minimum. Users wanting maximum visual quality at 4K would need to accept the 54.4 FPS average on Ultra, which falls below the 60 FPS standard.
