Lockdown Protocol

Measured FPS Breakdown

The recorded data for Lockdown Protocol with this AMD Ryzen 5 5600G and AMD Radeon RX 580 combination shows a consistent pattern: performance degrades sharply as resolution and settings increase. At 3840x2160, the highest resolution tested, the average frame rates are extremely low across all presets. The Low preset averages 15 FPS, Medium averages 10 FPS with a minimum of 8 and maximum of 11, High averages 6 FPS, and Ultra averages just 4 FPS. None of these figures approach the 60 FPS playability threshold, and the gap is enormous.

Stepping down to 2560x1440 improves the situation but does not change the fundamental outcome. Low settings average 29 FPS, Medium averages 18 FPS with a range of 15 to 21, High averages 12 FPS, and Ultra averages 8 FPS. The best recorded figure here, 29 FPS at Low, is still less than half of the 60 FPS target. The minimum and maximum values for Medium show that frame pacing is relatively stable, but the overall level is far too low for smooth gameplay.

At 1920x1080, the data shows the only settings where the combination approaches playability. The Low preset averages 46 FPS, which is the highest average recorded in the entire dataset. Medium averages 29 FPS with a minimum of 25 and maximum of 33, High averages 19 FPS, and Ultra averages 12 FPS. Even at the lowest settings, the average falls 14 FPS short of the 60 FPS threshold. The gap between Low and Medium at 1080p is 17 FPS, indicating that the preset choice has a substantial impact on performance at this resolution.

The scaling between resolutions is noteworthy. Moving from 1920x1080 to 2560x1440 at Low settings reduces the average from 46 to 29 FPS, a drop of 37%. At Medium settings, the same resolution change reduces the average from 29 to 18 FPS, a 38% decline. The drop from 2560x1440 to 3840x2160 at Low settings is from 29 to 15 FPS, a 48% reduction. This indicates that the GPU becomes progressively more strained as pixel count rises, with the largest relative penalty occurring at the highest resolution.

Best Settings per Resolution

At 3840x2160, there is no preset that achieves 60 FPS. The highest average recorded is 15 FPS on Low settings. The Medium preset averages 10 FPS with a minimum of 8 and maximum of 11. High averages 6 FPS, and Ultra averages 4 FPS. No setting is remotely close to the playability threshold.

At 2560x1440, the situation is similar. The best average is 29 FPS on Low settings. Medium averages 18 FPS with a range of 15 to 21, High averages 12 FPS, and Ultra averages 8 FPS. None of these presets reach 60 FPS, and the highest figure is less than half of the target.

At 1920x1080, the Low preset delivers the best average at 46 FPS. This is the closest any configuration comes to the 60 FPS threshold, but it still falls short by 14 FPS. Medium averages 29 FPS, High averages 19 FPS, and Ultra averages 12 FPS. The data indicates that no preset at any resolution clears the 60 FPS bar.

Similar Performance Alternatives

The AMD Ryzen 5 5600G sits at the 74th percentile among all CPUs in the database, with an average benchmark score of 21088. Its nearest rivals in terms of overall CPU performance include the Intel Core i3-1220P, which scores 21066 and is 0.1% slower, and the Intel Core Ultra 7 256V, which scores 21112 and is 0.1% faster. The AMD Ryzen 5 7530U scores 21133, putting it 0.2% ahead, while the Intel Core Ultra 7 155U scores 21174, 0.4% ahead. These four processors would deliver nearly identical CPU-bound behavior in Lockdown Protocol, with differences well under half a percent.

The AMD Radeon RX 580 ranks at the 53rd percentile among all GPUs, with an average benchmark score of 12928. Its closest rivals include the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 Ti Mobile, which scores 12940 and is 0.1% faster, and the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1660 SUPER, which scores 12986 and is 0.4% faster. On the slower side, the AMD Radeon 740M scores 12870, 0.5% behind, and the AMD FirePro W5100 scores 12847, 0.6% behind. In practice, users with any of these GPUs would see essentially the same frame rates in this game, given the sub-1% score differences.

For the full combination, the nearest CPU and GPU alternatives would produce nearly identical results. Swapping the Ryzen 5 5600G for an Intel Core i3-1220P or AMD Ryzen 5 7530U would not change the measured FPS in any meaningful way. Similarly, replacing the RX 580 with a GTX 1660 SUPER or RTX 3050 Ti Mobile would keep the same performance tier. The data suggests that this hardware cluster is tightly grouped, and no single alternative would push the combination over the 60 FPS threshold.

How This Combo Ranks

The database ranks this specific combination at 3714 out of 3714 tested combos for Lockdown Protocol. This is the lowest possible rank, meaning that every other combination in the database achieves higher performance in this game. The rank is derived from the measured FPS data across all resolutions and settings, and the figures confirm why: no preset at any resolution reaches 60 FPS, and the best average is only 46 FPS.

Being at rank 3714 of 3714 places this combo at the very bottom of the tested pool. This does not mean the hardware is universally weak, as the CPU and GPU individually sit at the 74th and 53rd percentiles respectively. Rather, it indicates that Lockdown Protocol is particularly demanding and that this mid-range pairing falls short of the required performance level. The combination's rank reflects the game's heavy load rather than any defect in the individual components.

The gap between this combo and higher-ranked configurations is likely substantial, given that the 60 FPS threshold is not met at any setting. Even the most playable configuration, 1080p Low at 46 FPS, would need a 30% improvement just to hit the minimum target. The rank data shows that this is one of the least suitable combinations for this title among all tested hardware pairings.

The Verdict

This PC cannot run Lockdown Protocol at a playable level. The verdict data shows no playable settings at any resolution. At 3840x2160, the best average is 15 FPS on Low, with Ultra at 4 FPS. At 2560x1440, the best average is 29 FPS on Low, with Ultra at 8 FPS. At 1920x1080, the best average is 46 FPS on Low, with Ultra at 12 FPS. No recorded preset reaches the 60 FPS playability threshold.

The closest configuration is 1920x1080 with Low settings, which averages 46 FPS. This is 14 FPS short of the target, representing a 23% deficit. Medium settings at the same resolution average 29 FPS, a 52% shortfall. The pattern is consistent: even the lowest settings at the lowest resolution leave a significant gap. Users seeking to play this game would need substantially more capable hardware, as the data shows no combination of settings can bridge the gap to 60 FPS.

CPU and GPU Roles

The measured data reveals how the balance between CPU and GPU shifts across resolutions. At 1920x1080 Low, the average of 46 FPS suggests that the GPU is the primary constraint, as the CPU has sufficient headroom at this modest pixel count. Moving to 2560x1440 Low drops the average to 29 FPS, a 37% reduction, which indicates that the GPU is being pushed harder as resolution increases. The further drop to 3840x2160 Low, down to 15 FPS, represents a 48% decline from 1440p, confirming that the RX 580 is the limiting factor at higher pixel densities.

The settings scaling provides additional insight. At 1920x1080, the difference between Low and Ultra is 34 FPS (46 to 12), a 74% reduction. At 2560x1440, the same settings range spans 21 FPS (29 to 8), and at 3840x2160, it spans 11 FPS (15 to 4). The absolute gap narrows as resolution rises because the GPU is already saturated, so further increases in graphical load have diminishing absolute effects. This pattern points to the GPU being the dominant bottleneck across all tested configurations.

The CPU's role is more visible at lower resolutions. At 1080p Low, the 46 FPS average is higher than any 1440p or 4K result, suggesting that the Ryzen 5 5600G can feed the GPU adequately at this resolution. However, the CPU does not compensate for the GPU's limitations at higher resolutions. The data indicates that upgrading the GPU would yield the largest FPS gains, particularly at 1080p, while the CPU would likely remain sufficient at this performance tier. The recorded benchmarks for the CPU, such as a Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 10551 and a single-core score of 1409, show a capable processor, but the GPU's 53rd percentile ranking and the low FPS figures make it clear that the graphics card is the primary constraint in Lockdown Protocol.
