Lockdown Protocol

The AMD Ryzen 5 5600G paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 D delivers high frame rates in Lockdown Protocol, clearing the 60 FPS playable threshold at every resolution and preset combination measured. The data shows a system that is overwhelmingly GPU-bound at higher resolutions, with the CPU becoming a more significant factor only at 1080p, though even there the results remain far above playable.

Best Settings per Resolution

At 3840x2160, the most demanding preset that stays at or above 60 FPS is Ultra, which produces an average of 88 FPS. This is a comfortable margin above the 60 FPS threshold, meaning the system can run the game at maximum visual quality without dropping below playable territory. The Ultra preset at this resolution delivers 88 FPS average, while High runs at 118 FPS, Medium at 135 FPS, and Low at 190 FPS. All four presets are playable at 4K, but Ultra is the recommended choice since it offers the highest visual fidelity while still maintaining a strong average.

At 2560x1440, the best settings are also Ultra, with an average of 137 FPS. The gap between presets narrows compared to 4K: High produces 183 FPS, Medium 198 FPS, and Low 225 FPS. The 137 FPS average at Ultra is more than double the playable threshold, giving substantial headroom for demanding scenes. Since every preset clears 60 FPS by a wide margin, the decision comes down to visual quality versus raw frame rate—Ultra is the pick for the best experience.

At 1920x1080, Ultra remains the best settings choice, delivering an average of 187 FPS. Low runs at 250 FPS, Medium at 220 FPS, and High at 210 FPS. The system is so powerful at this resolution that even the most demanding preset produces frame rates that exceed the refresh rate of most monitors. Ultra at 187 FPS is the optimal setting because it provides the highest quality without any risk of falling below 60 FPS.

CPU and GPU Roles

The data reveals a clear shift in component importance as resolution changes. At 3840x2160, the GPU dominates the workload. The RTX 5090 D is the limiting factor, and the Ryzen 5 5600G has ample headroom. Evidence for this comes from the frame rate scaling: moving from Low to Ultra at 4K drops the average from 190 FPS to 88 FPS, a reduction of 102 FPS, which is a 54% decrease. This large drop indicates that the GPU is being pushed harder at higher settings, while the CPU has little influence on the outcome.

At 2560x1440, the GPU still leads, but the CPU begins to matter more. The scaling from Low to Ultra at 1440p produces a drop from 225 FPS to 137 FPS, an 88 FPS reduction (39%). Compared to 4K, the absolute frame rates are higher at every preset, suggesting the GPU has more spare capacity at this resolution. The CPU still has room to spare, but it is closer to becoming a factor.

At 1920x1080, the CPU role becomes more pronounced, though the GPU still carries the load. The frame rate scaling from Low to Ultra at 1080p is from 250 FPS to 187 FPS, a 63 FPS drop (25%). This smaller percentage drop compared to higher resolutions indicates that the CPU is starting to limit the maximum achievable frame rate, especially at Low settings where the GPU work is reduced. The 250 FPS ceiling at Low settings is likely constrained by the Ryzen 5 5600G's single-thread performance rather than the RTX 5090 D. Even so, the CPU delivers enough performance to keep all presets well above 60 FPS.

Measured FPS Breakdown

3840x2160 (4K):

• Low: 190 FPS average
• Medium: 135 FPS average, 115 FPS minimum, 155 FPS maximum
• High: 118 FPS average
• Ultra: 88 FPS average

At 4K, the Medium preset is the only one with recorded minimum and maximum values: 115 FPS minimum and 155 FPS maximum. The 115 FPS minimum is still nearly double the playable threshold, meaning even worst-case frame time spikes keep the game smooth.

2560x1440 (1440p):

• Low: 225 FPS average
• Medium: 198 FPS average, 169 FPS minimum, 228 FPS maximum
• High: 183 FPS average
• Ultra: 137 FPS average

The 1440p Medium preset shows a minimum of 169 FPS and a maximum of 228 FPS. The spread of 59 FPS between minimum and maximum indicates some variability, but the floor is far above 60 FPS. The Ultra preset at 137 FPS average leaves substantial headroom.

1920x1080 (1080p):

• Low: 250 FPS average
• Medium: 220 FPS average, 187 FPS minimum, 253 FPS maximum
• High: 210 FPS average
• Ultra: 187 FPS average

At 1080p, the Medium preset has a minimum of 187 FPS and a maximum of 253 FPS. This 66 FPS range is the largest recorded across all resolutions, reflecting the CPU's increased involvement at lower resolutions. The Ultra preset at 187 FPS average matches the Medium minimum, showing that the system can sustain high performance even at maximum settings.

FAQ

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

A: Yes. The Ultra preset at 3840x2160 produces an average of 88 FPS, which is above the 60 FPS playable threshold. All four presets at 4K are playable, with Low at 190 FPS, Medium at 135 FPS, and High at 118 FPS.

Q: What is the best settings preset at 1440p?

A: Ultra is the best choice at 2560x1440, delivering 137 FPS average. This is more than double the 60 FPS threshold, so there is no need to lower settings for performance reasons.

Q: How does the CPU affect performance at 1080p?

A: At 1920x1080, the Ryzen 5 5600G becomes more relevant, especially at Low settings where the average is 250 FPS. The frame rate scaling from Low to Ultra is only a 25% drop at 1080p, compared to a 54% drop at 4K, indicating the CPU limits maximum frame rates at lower resolutions.

The RX 6850M XT and the Tesla P100 variants are slightly faster on average, while the RX 6650M XT is marginally slower.

The Verdict

This PC can run Lockdown Protocol with ease. The verdict by resolution confirms that every resolution and preset combination is playable. At 3840x2160, the best settings are Ultra with 88 FPS average, which clears the 60 FPS threshold by 28 FPS. At 2560x1440, Ultra runs at 137 FPS average, more than double the playable threshold. At 1920x1080, Ultra produces 187 FPS average, which is over three times the 60 FPS minimum. The data shows no configuration where the system falls below playable performance. The weakest point is 4K Ultra at 88 FPS, but that is still a comfortable margin above 60 FPS. The system ranks 152 out of 3714 combinations in this game, placing it in the top 4% of tested hardware configurations.

The practical takeaway is that you can max out the settings at any resolution and still have frame rate headroom. At 1080p and 1440p, the system is so fast that you could enable high-refresh-rate gaming without compromise. At 4K, you can run Ultra settings and stay above 60 FPS, though you would see improved frame rates by dropping to High (118 FPS) or Medium (135 FPS) if you prefer extra smoothness over maximum visual quality. The CPU is not a bottleneck at any resolution, and the GPU has enough power to drive the game at maximum settings everywhere. This is a system built for high-fidelity, high-frame-rate play in Lockdown Protocol.
