Lockdown Protocol

The AMD Ryzen 5 5600F paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER delivers a consistently high-refresh-rate experience in Lockdown Protocol, with the data showing that this combination is capable of maxing out the game's Ultra preset at every tested resolution while maintaining a substantial margin above the 60 FPS playable threshold. The measured FPS figures across all resolutions and settings indicate that this is a system built for smooth, high-fidelity gameplay, and the benchmark results confirm that the GPU is the dominant performance driver, especially as resolution scales upward.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the system demonstrates its peak raw performance headroom. With the Low preset, the average FPS reaches 220, representing the highest frame rate recorded in the entire test suite. Moving to Medium, the average drops to 194 FPS, with a minimum of 165 FPS and a maximum of 223 FPS, showing a tightly controlled frame delivery. The High preset averages 185 FPS, and the Ultra preset still manages an impressive 154 FPS average. These numbers indicate that at 1080p, the RTX 4080 SUPER is not being fully taxed, leaving significant performance on the table for future titles or higher refresh rate displays.

Stepping up to 2560x1440, the frame rates remain exceptionally high but begin to show the influence of increased pixel count. The Low preset yields an average of 199 FPS, while Medium delivers 172 FPS with a minimum of 147 FPS and a maximum of 198 FPS. The High preset averages 151 FPS, and Ultra brings the average down to 113 FPS. The 1440p results show a smaller performance gap between presets compared to 1080p, indicating that the GPU is still operating well within its comfort zone.

At 3840x2160, or 4K resolution, the system continues to provide smooth gameplay, though the scaling is more pronounced. The Low preset averages 157 FPS, which is still far above the 60 FPS threshold. Medium settings produce an average of 111 FPS with a minimum of 95 FPS and a maximum of 128 FPS, highlighting that even the minimum frame rate stays comfortably above playable levels. High settings average 97 FPS, and Ultra drops to 73 FPS. The 4K Ultra result is the lowest average across all resolution and preset combinations, yet it remains 13 FPS above the 60 FPS playable threshold, demonstrating that this combo can handle the most demanding configuration without dipping below acceptable performance.

CPU and GPU Roles

The performance scaling between resolutions reveals a clear division of labor between the AMD Ryzen 5 5600F and the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER. At 1920x1080, the frame rates are so high that the CPU's role becomes more significant relative to the GPU. The difference between Low and Ultra presets at 1080p is 66 FPS, from 220 down to 154, which suggests that the GPU is still the primary bottleneck, but the CPU is contributing enough to keep frame rates from being purely GPU-limited.

As resolution increases to 2560x1440, the GPU becomes progressively more dominant. The gap between Low and Ultra at 1440p is 86 FPS, from 199 down to 113, which is a larger absolute drop than at 1080p. This widening gap indicates that the RTX 4080 SUPER's rendering workload is increasing with pixel count, while the CPU's contribution remains relatively static. The Ryzen 5 5600F, with its 6 cores and 12 threads based on the Zen 3 architecture, provides sufficient processing power to feed the GPU at 1440p without becoming a limiting factor.

At 3840x2160, the GPU's dominance is unmistakable. The difference between Low and Ultra at 4K is 84 FPS, from 157 down to 73, and the overall frame rates are substantially lower than at lower resolutions. This pattern confirms that Lockdown Protocol scales primarily with GPU capability at higher resolutions, while the CPU maintains a steady baseline of performance that does not bottleneck the system at any tested setting. The Ryzen 5 5600F's 32 MB of shared L3 cache and 51.2 GB/s memory bandwidth are sufficient to keep the RTX 4080 SUPER fed with data, even at 4K Ultra where the GPU is working hardest.

How This Combo Ranks

The benchmark database places this combination at rank 553 out of 3,714 tested combos for Lockdown Protocol, putting it in the top 15 percent of all systems tested. This ranking reflects the synergy between the Ryzen 5 5600F and the RTX 4080 SUPER, where the CPU's 85th percentile score among all processors and the GPU's 86th percentile score among all graphics cards combine to create a system that performs well above average for this game. The combo rank is particularly notable because the CPU is not a top-tier flagship part, yet the overall system performance is driven heavily by the GPU's capabilities.

The GPU's average benchmark score of 54,209 places it just 0.1 percent below the non-SUPER RTX 4080, which scores 54,247, indicating that the SUPER variant offers nearly identical raw performance in synthetic tests. The RTX 4080 SUPER also sits 1.1 percent above the AMD Radeon Pro W5700X and 2.7 percent above the AMD Radeon RX 6750 GRE 12 GB, suggesting that this GPU tier is well ahead of most competing options. The CPU's average benchmark score of 36,945 is effectively tied with the Intel Core Ultra 5 225 at 36,938, and it sits just 0.2 percent below the AMD Ryzen 5 5500X3D at 37,018, confirming that the 5600F is a solid mid-range performer.

The Verdict

This system clears the 60 FPS playable threshold with room to spare at every resolution and preset combination tested. At 3840x2160, the Ultra preset runs at an average of 73 FPS, which is 13 FPS above the threshold, making 4K Ultra fully playable. The 2560x1440 resolution sees the Ultra preset averaging 113 FPS, providing a comfortable margin for high-refresh-rate monitors. At 1920x1080, Ultra settings deliver 154 FPS, which is more than enough for even the fastest 144Hz or 165Hz displays.

The verdict is straightforward: this PC can run Lockdown Protocol exceptionally well at all settings and resolutions. The lowest recorded average FPS across the entire test suite is 73 FPS at 4K Ultra, which means there is no configuration where the system falls below the playable threshold. The minimum FPS figures that were recorded, such as 95 FPS at 4K Medium and 147 FPS at 1440p Medium, indicate that frame pacing remains stable even during demanding scenes, with no dips into unplayable territory.

Similar Performance Alternatives

For the CPU, the nearest rivals include the Intel Core Ultra 5 225, which scores 36,938 and shows a 0 percent delta from the Ryzen 5 5600F, meaning they are effectively identical in performance. The AMD Ryzen 5 5500X3D scores 37,018 with a delta of -0.2 percent, placing it marginally ahead, while the AMD Ryzen AI 7 PRO 450 scores 37,093 with a -0.4 percent delta. The Intel Core i9-12900T scores 37,112 with a -0.5 percent delta. All four alternatives would behave nearly identically to the 5600F in Lockdown Protocol, with performance differences well within the margin of error for real-world gaming.

On the GPU side, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 scores 54,247 with a -0.1 percent delta from the RTX 4080 SUPER, making it the closest possible match. The AMD Radeon Pro W5700X scores 54,828 with a -1.1 percent delta, placing it slightly ahead in synthetic benchmarks, while the AMD Radeon RX 6750 GRE 12 GB scores 55,698 with a -2.7 percent delta and the AMD Radeon 8060S scores 55,757 with a -2.8 percent delta. These GPU alternatives would produce frame rates within a few percent of the RTX 4080 SUPER, meaning users could expect nearly identical performance in Lockdown Protocol, though the exact in-game results would depend on driver optimization and thermal behavior.

Best Settings per Resolution

At 1920x1080, the most demanding preset that stays at or above 60 FPS is Ultra, which runs at an average of 154 FPS. This is the maximum quality setting available, and the system has more than double the required frame rate headroom, so there is no reason to sacrifice visual fidelity at this resolution.

At 2560x1440, the Ultra preset is also the best choice, averaging 113 FPS. This provides a 53 FPS margin above the playable threshold, ensuring smooth gameplay even during intense firefights or complex scenes with multiple enemies and effects.

At 3840x2160, the Ultra preset remains the best option, averaging 73 FPS. While this is the lowest average FPS in the test suite, it still exceeds the 60 FPS threshold by 13 FPS, and the minimum recorded FPS at Medium settings was 95, suggesting that Ultra should maintain playable performance throughout. For gamers who prioritize frame rate stability over absolute visual quality at 4K, dropping to High would provide an average of 97 FPS, but the data confirms that Ultra is viable for those who want the best image quality this system can deliver.
