Lockdown Protocol

Similar Performance Alternatives

The AMD Ryzen 5 5600G sits in a tightly contested performance band. Benchmark data places it at the 74th percentile among all CPUs, with an average benchmark score of 21088. The nearest rivals are remarkably close: the Intel Core i3-1220P scores 21066, a delta of just 0.1% behind the 5600G. The Intel Core Ultra 7 256V scores 21112, coming in 0.1% ahead. The AMD Ryzen 5 7530U matches at 21133, 0.2% ahead, while the Intel Core Ultra 7 155U leads the group at 21174, a 0.4% advantage. For practical purposes, any of these processors would deliver nearly identical CPU-bound performance in Lockdown Protocol. The differences are so small they fall within run-to-run variation.

On the GPU side, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 records an average benchmark score of 15290, placing it at the 58th percentile among all GPUs. Its nearest rival is the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 580 with a score of 15283, a delta of 0%: they are effectively tied. The AMD Radeon 680M scores 15270, 0.1% behind, while the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 OEM scores 15199, 0.6% behind. The AMD Radeon RX 7600 rounds out the group at 15171, 0.8% behind the RTX 2060. These alternatives would produce nearly indistinguishable frame rates in this game, meaning users with any of these GPUs can expect similar visual performance at the same settings.

The combination of this CPU and GPU forms a balanced pairing. The 5600G's six cores and twelve threads handle the game's logic and physics, while the RTX 2060's Turing architecture manages the rendering workload. Neither component dramatically outperforms its direct rivals, which suggests that Lockdown Protocol's performance with this combo will be close to what other systems in this performance tier achieve.

CPU and GPU Roles

The recorded data reveals how the balance shifts between CPU and GPU depending on resolution and preset. At 1920x1080 with Low settings, the combo reaches 147.8 FPS average. Moving to Medium drops this to 104.3 FPS, a 29.4% reduction. High settings yield 91.8 FPS, and Ultra produces 68.4 FPS. The pattern shows that at 1080p, the GPU is the limiting factor: as settings increase and place more load on the graphics card, frame rates fall proportionally. The CPU has enough headroom at this resolution to feed the GPU efficiently, so the GPU dictates the final performance.

At 2560x1440, the story changes. Low settings produce 106.6 FPS, Medium drops to 74.5 FPS, and High reaches 67 FPS. Ultra falls to 47.4 FPS. The gap between Low and Medium is 30.1%, while the gap between Medium and High is smaller at 10.1%. This suggests the CPU begins to matter more at 1440p, as the increased pixel count reduces the GPU's ability to maintain high frame rates, and the processor's role in maintaining a stable frame delivery becomes more prominent.

At 3840x2160, the GPU clearly dominates. Low settings average 70 FPS, Medium drops to 47.9 FPS, High falls to 41 FPS, and Ultra bottoms out at 29.8 FPS. The scaling from Low to Medium at 4K is a 31.6% drop, and from High to Ultra is a 27.3% drop. The RTX 2060's 6 GB of GDDR6 memory and 336.0 GB/s bandwidth become strained at this resolution, especially with higher presets that demand more memory bandwidth and shading power. The CPU's contribution is largely irrelevant here; the GPU is the sole bottleneck.

Looking across resolutions at the same preset, the pattern is clear. At Low settings, 1080p yields 147.8 FPS, 1440p yields 106.6 FPS, and 4K yields 70 FPS. At Ultra, 1080p yields 68.4 FPS, 1440p yields 47.4 FPS, and 4K yields 29.8 FPS. The resolution scaling is consistent: each step up in resolution costs roughly 25-30% of the frame rate. This indicates that Lockdown Protocol is primarily GPU-bound across all tested configurations, with the CPU only becoming relevant in the sense that it must keep up with the GPU's output at lower resolutions and settings.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the full range of presets is playable. Low settings produce an average of 147.8 FPS, which is more than double the 60 FPS threshold. Medium settings average 104.3 FPS, still well above the threshold. High settings deliver 91.8 FPS, and even Ultra maintains 68.4 FPS. The scaling from Low to Ultra is a 54% reduction, but every preset clears the playable mark comfortably.

At 2560x1440, the situation tightens. Low settings average 106.6 FPS, Medium delivers 74.5 FPS, and High produces 67 FPS. All three clear the 60 FPS threshold. Ultra, however, drops to 47.4 FPS, which falls below the playable line. The gap between High and Ultra is 19.6 FPS, a substantial penalty for the final preset tier. Users at 1440p should stick to High or below for smooth gameplay.

At 3840x2160, only Low is playable. It averages 70 FPS, just 10 FPS above the threshold. Medium drops to 47.9 FPS, High falls to 41 FPS, and Ultra bottoms out at 29.8 FPS. The 4K results show a steep decline with each preset increase, and the GPU's memory bandwidth becomes a limiting factor at this resolution. The RTX 2060 can handle 4K only at the lowest settings, and even then with limited headroom.

No minimum or maximum FPS values were recorded in the database for any resolution or preset. The analysis relies solely on average frame rates, which smooths over transient dips. Players sensitive to frame pacing may want to target settings that provide more than the minimum 60 FPS average, as the actual low points could dip below the threshold even when the average is above it.

The Verdict

The recorded data shows that this PC can run Lockdown Protocol, but the playable range depends heavily on resolution. At 1920x1080, every preset from Low to Ultra clears the 60 FPS threshold, with Ultra averaging 68.4 FPS. This is a fully playable configuration at the most common gaming resolution.

At 2560x1440, three presets are playable: Low at 106.6 FPS, Medium at 74.5 FPS, and High at 67 FPS. Ultra falls below the threshold at 47.4 FPS. Players at 1440p should avoid Ultra settings.

At 3840x2160, only Low is playable, averaging 70 FPS. Medium, High, and Ultra all fall below 60 FPS, with Ultra dropping to 29.8 FPS. 4K gaming is technically possible but requires significant visual compromises.

The verdict is that this system is best suited for 1080p and 1440p gaming. At 1080p, it can handle all presets, including Ultra. At 1440p, it handles most presets but not the highest one. At 4K, it is limited to the lowest preset. The GPU is the primary bottleneck at higher resolutions, while the CPU provides sufficient headroom across all tested scenarios.

Best Settings per Resolution

At 3840x2160, the best playable preset is Low, which averages 70 FPS. This is the only preset at 4K that clears the 60 FPS threshold. The next preset, Medium, drops to 47.9 FPS, a 31.6% reduction that makes it unplayable.

At 2560x1440, the best playable preset is High, averaging 67 FPS. This is the most demanding preset that stays at or above 60 FPS at this resolution. Low and Medium also work, with 106.6 FPS and 74.5 FPS respectively, but High offers the best visual fidelity while maintaining playability.

At 1920x1080, the best playable preset is Ultra, averaging 68.4 FPS. This is the highest quality setting available, and it still maintains a comfortable margin above the 60 FPS threshold. Lower presets provide higher frame rates, with Low reaching 147.8 FPS, but Ultra is the optimal choice for visual quality.

The scaling across resolutions shows diminishing returns. At 1080p, Ultra is playable with 68.4 FPS. At 1440p, High is the ceiling with 67 FPS. At 4K, Low is the only option with 70 FPS. The pattern suggests that each resolution step down in quality is required to maintain the same frame rate, and the RTX 2060's performance ceiling is reached at 4K Low.

How This Combo Ranks

In the database of tested combinations for Lockdown Protocol, this pairing of AMD Ryzen 5 5600G and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 ranks 2939 out of 3714 tested combos. This places it in the 20.9th percentile, meaning roughly 79% of tested systems perform better in this game. The rank reflects the combination's overall capability across all resolutions and presets, weighted by the playability metrics.

This ranking is consistent with the component-level data. The CPU sits at the 74th percentile among all CPUs, which is solidly above average. The GPU sits at the 58th percentile among all GPUs, also above average. However, the combination's rank in this specific game is lower than either component's individual percentile, which suggests that Lockdown Protocol places demands on the system that this pairing cannot fully satisfy at higher resolutions.

The gap between the component percentiles and the game-specific rank indicates that the game is demanding in ways that stress the GPU more heavily. At 4K, the RTX 2060 struggles to maintain playable frame rates at anything above Low settings, which drags down the overall ranking. At 1080p, the system performs well, but the ranking weights all tested resolutions, and the 4K results are weak.

Compared to other combos in the database, this system is positioned in the lower-middle range. It is not among the weakest tested combinations, but it is also far from the top. For players targeting 1080p gaming, this combo is more than adequate. For players expecting 4K performance, it falls short. The ranking reflects this dual nature: capable at lower resolutions, limited at higher ones.
