Lockdown Protocol

The AMD Ryzen 5 5600G paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER delivers a consistently strong experience in Lockdown Protocol, clearing the 60 FPS threshold at every tested resolution and preset combination. Benchmark data shows this combo ranks 636th out of 3714 tested configurations, placing it in the top 17% of all systems. The pairing is heavily GPU-bound at lower resolutions, with the CPU's mid-range standing in the 74th percentile against all processors proving more than sufficient for this FPS title.

Similar Performance Alternatives

The Ryzen 5 5600G's average benchmark score of 21088 places it within a narrow band of comparable processors. The closest rival is the Intel Core i3-1220P, which scores 21066 — a negligible 0.1% difference. The Intel Core Ultra 7 256V comes in at 21112, sitting 0.1% above the 5600G, while the AMD Ryzen 5 7530U scores 21133, a 0.2% advantage. The Intel Core Ultra 7 155U completes the group at 21174, trailing the 5600G by 0.4%. Any of these CPUs would deliver near-identical frame pacing in Lockdown Protocol, as the game's demands on processor throughput are modest relative to the GPU workload.

On the graphics side, the RTX 4070 SUPER's average score of 43223 puts it in the 83rd percentile of all GPUs. The nearest rival is the NVIDIA Quadro M6000 24 GB, which scores 43262 — just 0.1% higher. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5050 Mobile matches at 43268, also 0.1% above, while the Quadro M6000 scores 43301, a 0.2% edge. Interestingly, the RTX 4090 Mobile scores 43667, a 1% advantage, yet in practical terms all four alternatives would produce nearly indistinguishable frame rates in Lockdown Protocol. Users upgrading from any of these GPUs would see essentially no measurable change in performance.

How This Combo Ranks

The combo rank of 636 out of 3714 tested configurations places this system in the 82.9th percentile of all combinations evaluated for Lockdown Protocol. This is a strong result, indicating that the Ryzen 5 5600G does not bottleneck the RTX 4070 SUPER in this title. The ranking reflects the GPU's dominant role: the RTX 4070 SUPER sits in the 83rd percentile among all GPUs, while the CPU's 74th percentile standing is more than adequate for the game's threading model. The 5.7% gap between CPU and GPU percentiles suggests headroom remains on the processor side, meaning users could theoretically pair this GPU with a lower-end CPU and still maintain similar frame rates at higher resolutions, where the GPU becomes the limiting factor.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the RTX 4070 SUPER produces exceptional frame rates across all settings. Low settings yield an average of 247.3 FPS, while Medium pushes to 208 FPS. High settings drop to 181.8 FPS, and Ultra still maintains a robust 136.1 FPS average. The scaling pattern shows diminishing returns as settings increase — the jump from Low to Medium costs 39.3 FPS, while the drop from High to Ultra costs 45.7 FPS. Even at Ultra, the system delivers more than double the 60 FPS playable threshold, indicating the GPU is the primary constraint only at the highest quality preset.

Moving to 2560x1440, the frame rates remain highly playable. Low settings produce 214.3 FPS, Medium averages 153.4 FPS, and High maintains 131.3 FPS. Ultra settings still clear 96.4 FPS, which is 60.7% above the playable threshold. The resolution scaling from 1080p to 1440p costs roughly 13-22% of performance depending on settings — the largest drop occurs at Ultra (136.1 to 96.4 FPS, a 29.2% reduction), while Low settings lose 13.3% (247.3 to 214.3 FPS).

At 3840x2160, the system still delivers smooth gameplay. Ultra settings average 62.3 FPS, just barely clearing the 60 FPS threshold. High settings improve to 86.1 FPS, Medium reaches 100.6 FPS, and Low hits 136.4 FPS. The gap between Medium and High at 4K is 14.5 FPS, while the jump from High to Ultra costs 23.8 FPS — the steepest penalty of any resolution. This indicates that the Ultra preset at 4K is pushing the GPU to its limits, with the 62.3 FPS average leaving only 2.3 FPS of headroom above the playable threshold.

The Verdict

This system can run Lockdown Protocol at every resolution and preset combination tested. At 1920x1080, all four settings — Low, Medium, High, and Ultra — clear the 60 FPS threshold with substantial margin. The lowest result is Ultra at 136.1 FPS, which is 2.27x the playable threshold. At 2560x1440, Ultra settings deliver 96.4 FPS, maintaining a 60.7% buffer above the 60 FPS line. Even at 3840x2160, the most demanding configuration, Ultra settings average 62.3 FPS, which clears the threshold by 3.8%. However, the 4K Ultra result leaves minimal headroom — any scene with heavier geometry or particle effects could potentially dip below 60 FPS, as the data does not include minimum frame rate measurements. For a guaranteed smooth experience at 4K, High settings at 86.1 FPS provide a more comfortable 43.5% buffer.

FAQ

Q: Can this PC run Lockdown Protocol at 4K with maximum settings?

A: Yes. At 3840x2160 with Ultra settings, the system averages 62.3 FPS, which clears the 60 FPS playable threshold. However, the margin is slim at 3.8%, so High settings (86.1 FPS) are recommended for consistent performance.

Q: What is the best resolution for this combo?

A: 2560x1440 offers the best balance, with Ultra settings averaging 96.4 FPS. This provides 60.7% headroom above the playable threshold while delivering higher visual fidelity than 1080p.

Q: How much performance is lost when moving from 1080p to 4K?

A: At Ultra settings, the drop is from 136.1 FPS at 1920x1080 to 62.3 FPS at 3840x2160, a 54.2% reduction. At Low settings, the drop is from 247.3 to 136.4 FPS, a 44.8% reduction.

Q: Is the CPU a bottleneck for the GPU in this game?

A: The data suggests no. The CPU ranks in the 74th percentile while the GPU ranks in the 83rd, and the combo achieves frame rates consistent with GPU-bound performance. The 5.7% percentile gap implies the CPU has remaining headroom.

Q: Which settings preset should I use at 1080p?

A: Ultra settings at 1920x1080 average 136.1 FPS, which is 2.27x the playable threshold. There is no reason to reduce settings at this resolution, as even the most demanding preset provides ample performance.

Q: Does the RTX 4070 SUPER perform similarly to the RTX 4090 Mobile?

A: Benchmark scores show the RTX 4070 SUPER averages 43223, while the RTX 4090 Mobile scores 43667 — a 1% difference in favor of the mobile chip. In Lockdown Protocol, the frame rate differences would be negligible.

Best Settings per Resolution

At 1920x1080, the most demanding preset that stays at or above 60 FPS is Ultra, which averages 136.1 FPS. This is the highest quality setting available and provides 2.27x the playable threshold, so no compromise is needed at this resolution.

At 2560x1440, Ultra settings also remain the best choice, averaging 96.4 FPS. This represents a 60.7% buffer above the 60 FPS threshold, making it a safe recommendation for consistent high-refresh-rate gameplay on 144Hz monitors.

At 3840x2160, Ultra settings technically qualify as playable with an average of 62.3 FPS, but the 3.8% margin is tight. The data-driven recommendation is Ultra, as it clears the threshold, but for users prioritizing frame time consistency, High settings at 86.1 FPS offer a 43.5% buffer with only a moderate visual quality reduction. The measured data does not include minimum FPS values, so the Ultra preset's 62.3 FPS average carries more risk of occasional dips below 60 FPS compared to the safer High preset.
