Lockdown Protocol

Similar Performance Alternatives

The AMD Ryzen 5 5600G sits in a well-populated performance tier based on the recorded benchmark data. Its average benchmark score of 21088 places it within a very tight cluster of processors. The nearest rival is the Intel Core i3-1220P, which scores 21066, a margin of just 0.1%. The AMD Ryzen 5 7530U scores 21133, which is 0.2% higher, while the Intel Core Ultra 7 256V and Intel Core Ultra 7 155U post scores of 21112 and 21174, representing 0.1% and 0.4% advantages respectively. These differences are negligible in real-world terms, meaning any of these processors would deliver nearly identical frame rates in Lockdown Protocol when paired with the same GPU.

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 SUPER similarly occupies a crowded tier. Its average benchmark score of 18093 puts it directly alongside the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 Mobile, which scores 18159, a 0.4% difference. The AMD Radeon Pro 5700 scores 18189, also 0.5% ahead. Interestingly, the AMD Radeon RX 460 scores 18373, which is 1.5% higher, and the Intel Arc A770M reaches 18383, a 1.6% advantage. These deltas are small enough that gameplay differences would be difficult to perceive. Users upgrading from any of these alternatives would not notice a meaningful shift in Lockdown Protocol performance.

The CPU lands in the 74th percentile among all tested processors, while the GPU sits in the 62nd percentile. This indicates the processor is comparatively stronger relative to its peers than the graphics card is relative to its own peers. For Lockdown Protocol, this creates a configuration where the GPU is more likely to be the limiting factor at higher resolutions and settings, a pattern confirmed by the measured frame rates.

CPU and GPU Roles

Examining the measured FPS data across resolutions reveals how the balance shifts between CPU and GPU workload. At 1920x1080 with Low settings, the combo achieves 159 FPS average, which is a very high frame rate indicating neither component is severely taxed. Moving to Medium settings at the same resolution, the average drops to 113 FPS, a 28.9% reduction. At High settings, 99 FPS is recorded, and Ultra produces 74 FPS. The progression shows that as graphical load increases, the GPU becomes progressively more important.

At 2560x1440, the pattern continues. Low settings produce 117 FPS, Medium drops to 83 FPS, High to 72 FPS, and Ultra falls to 54 FPS. The step from Low to Medium at this resolution represents a 29.1% decrease, nearly identical to the 1080p drop. This consistency suggests the GPU is handling the increased resolution load in a predictable manner.

At 3840x2160, the GPU strain becomes most apparent. Low settings still manage 75 FPS, but Medium falls to 53 FPS, High to 47 FPS, and Ultra to 35 FPS. The gap between Low and Medium at 4K is 29.3%, again matching the pattern. However, the absolute values show that 4K Ultra is far below the 60 FPS threshold, while 4K Low barely exceeds it.

The data indicates that in this combo, the RTX 2060 SUPER is the dominant factor at higher resolutions. The CPU's 74th percentile ranking provides ample headroom, as evidenced by the high frame rates at 1080p Low where CPU-bound scenarios would typically manifest. The scaling from 1080p to 1440p shows roughly a 26% drop at Low settings (159 to 117), and from 1440p to 4K another 36% drop (117 to 75). These are GPU-driven reductions. The CPU maintains sufficient throughput to feed the GPU up to the point where the graphics card's pixel throughput becomes the constraint.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the combination delivers strong results across all presets. Low settings produce an average of 159 FPS with no recorded minimum or maximum values. Medium settings average 113 FPS, with a minimum of 96 FPS and a maximum of 130 FPS. High settings average 99 FPS, while Ultra averages 74 FPS. All presets at this resolution clear the 60 FPS playability threshold, making 1080p a fully playable experience regardless of visual quality selection.

Moving to 2560x1440, the performance remains solid but begins to show constraints. Low settings average 117 FPS. Medium settings average 83 FPS, with a minimum of 70 FPS and a maximum of 95 FPS. High settings average 72 FPS, still above the 60 FPS threshold. Ultra drops to 54 FPS average, which falls below the playability line. The minimum recorded value at Medium is 70 FPS, indicating that even during demanding scenes, the system maintains playable frame rates.

At 3840x2160, performance becomes more restricted. Low settings average 75 FPS, which is playable but with less headroom than lower resolutions. Medium settings average 53 FPS, with a minimum of 45 FPS and maximum of 62 FPS. The minimum dipping to 45 FPS suggests noticeable stutter during intense moments. High settings average 47 FPS, and Ultra averages 35 FPS. Only the Low preset at 4K maintains an average above 60 FPS, and its margin is modest at 15 FPS of headroom.

The measured data clearly shows that resolution has a profound impact on this configuration. The difference between 1080p Ultra at 74 FPS and 1440p Ultra at 54 FPS represents a 27% reduction, while 4K Ultra at 35 FPS is 52.7% lower than the 1080p Ultra figure. The Medium preset at 4K, with its 45 FPS minimum, would likely produce visible frame pacing issues during combat sequences.

How This Combo Ranks

The database places this combination at rank 2630 out of 3714 total tested configurations for Lockdown Protocol. This positioning means the combo performs better than roughly 29% of all tested systems. The rank reflects the GPU's mid-tier standing, as the CPU's stronger percentile ranking does not fully compensate for the graphics card's limitations at higher resolutions.

In context, this rank indicates that while the system handles 1080p gaming comfortably across all presets, it falls behind configurations featuring more powerful GPUs when pushed to 1440p Ultra or 4K. The 3714-combo field includes systems with both weaker and stronger components, and the 2630 rank places this setup in the lower-middle portion of the distribution.

The gap between this combo and higher-ranked systems likely stems from the RTX 2060 SUPER's 62nd percentile GPU standing. Configurations with GPUs in the 70th or 80th percentile would naturally outperform this setup at 1440p and 4K, while the CPU's 74th percentile ensures it is not the bottleneck in most scenarios.

The Verdict

The verdict data provides clear guidance on what this PC can run. At 1920x1080, all four presets (Low, Medium, High, Ultra) are playable, with average frame rates of 159, 113, 99, and 74 FPS respectively. This resolution offers complete flexibility, allowing users to prioritize visual quality without sacrificing playability.

At 2560x1440, three presets are playable: Low at 117 FPS, Medium at 83 FPS, and High at 72 FPS. The Ultra preset at 54 FPS falls short of the 60 FPS threshold. Users at this resolution should select High settings to maintain smooth gameplay while retaining most visual features.

At 3840x2160, only the Low preset achieves playable status at 75 FPS. Medium at 53 FPS, High at 47 FPS, and Ultra at 35 FPS all fall below the playability line. The verdict clearly indicates that 4K gaming with this combo requires significant compromises in visual quality.

Overall, this PC can run Lockdown Protocol successfully at 1080p with any settings, at 1440p with up to High settings, and at 4K only with Low settings. The system is well-suited for 1080p gaming and acceptable for 1440p, but it is not a 4K-capable configuration for this title.

Best Settings per Resolution

At 1920x1080, the most demanding preset that maintains at least 60 FPS is Ultra, achieving an average of 74 FPS. This allows users to experience the full visual fidelity of the game at standard Full HD resolution. The 14 FPS headroom above the threshold provides some buffer during intense scenes.

At 2560x1440, the best playable preset is High, with an average of 72 FPS. This provides a strong balance between visual quality and performance. The 12 FPS margin above the threshold is sufficient for stable gameplay, though users who prefer extra headroom might opt for Medium at 83 FPS.

At 3840x2160, the only playable preset is Low, averaging 75 FPS. This configuration requires the lowest visual settings to maintain playability. The 15 FPS margin is adequate, but the visual compromise is substantial. Users prioritizing 4K resolution will need to accept minimal graphical detail to achieve smooth frame rates.

The progression across resolutions shows a clear trade-off. At 1080p, Ultra settings are viable. At 1440p, High is the ceiling. At 4K, Low is the only option. This pattern reflects the GPU's capabilities and provides a straightforward guide for users adjusting their expectations based on display resolution.
