Lockdown Protocol

The AMD Ryzen 5 5600GT and Intel Arc B580 combination delivers a solid 1080p and 1440p gaming experience in Lockdown Protocol, with measured frame rates that comfortably exceed the 60 FPS threshold at most settings. At 4K, the combo requires a settings reduction to maintain playability, but the data shows a capable pairing for this FPS title across a wide range of configurations.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The benchmark data for Lockdown Protocol reveals a clear performance hierarchy across the three tested resolutions. At 1920x1080, the combo delivers its strongest results, with the Low preset producing an average of 150.8 FPS, which is the highest frame rate recorded in the entire dataset. The Medium preset follows at 109.4 FPS, while High settings yield 95.7 FPS. The most demanding Ultra preset at 1080p still maintains an average of 70.9 FPS, demonstrating that this combination has significant headroom at the entry-level resolution. The gap between Low and Ultra at 1080p is substantial, representing a 79.9 FPS difference, which indicates that the graphics settings have a pronounced impact on performance even at this resolution.

Moving to 2560x1440, the frame rates scale down predictably, but the results remain strong. Low settings produce 113.7 FPS, Medium achieves 80.7 FPS, and High maintains 67.9 FPS. The Ultra preset drops to 51.5 FPS, falling below the 60 FPS playability threshold. At 1440p, the difference between Low and Ultra is 62.2 FPS, showing a slightly compressed range compared to 1080p, which suggests that the GPU is becoming a more significant factor as pixel count increases.

At 3840x2160, the performance envelope narrows considerably. Low settings deliver 70.7 FPS, which is the only 4K preset that clears the playability threshold. Medium drops to 52.4 FPS, High falls to 45.7 FPS, and Ultra bottoms out at 36.5 FPS. The spread between Low and Ultra at 4K is 34.2 FPS, substantially smaller than at lower resolutions, indicating that the system is increasingly constrained by the GPU at this resolution. The data shows a consistent pattern: as resolution increases, the performance delta between presets shrinks, and the overall frame rate ceiling lowers.

Best Settings per Resolution

The verdict data identifies the optimal settings for each resolution based on the 60 FPS playability threshold. At 1920x1080, the best settings are Ultra, delivering 70.9 FPS. This is noteworthy because the Ultra preset maintains a comfortable margin above the playability threshold, providing 10.9 FPS of headroom. All four presets at 1080p are playable, making this resolution the most flexible for users who prioritize visual fidelity.

At 2560x1440, the best settings are High, achieving 67.9 FPS. This preset provides 7.9 FPS of headroom above the threshold, while the Ultra preset falls short at 51.5 FPS. The playable settings list at 1440p includes High, Low, and Medium, which means users have three viable options, but the Ultra preset requires a resolution reduction to 1080p for smooth gameplay.

For 3840x2160, the best settings are Low, delivering 70.7 FPS. This is the only playable preset at 4K, and it provides 10.7 FPS of headroom. The Medium, High, and Ultra presets all fail to reach 60 FPS at this resolution, with averages of 52.4 FPS, 45.7 FPS, and 36.5 FPS, respectively. The data indicates that 4K gaming with this combo is possible but requires significant compromises in visual quality. The performance drop from Low to Medium at 4K is 18.3 FPS, which is a steep penalty for a single settings tier increase.

CPU and GPU Roles

The scaling behavior across resolutions and presets reveals how the CPU and GPU each contribute to performance in Lockdown Protocol. The Ryzen 5 5600GT is a 6-core, 12-thread processor with a boost clock of 4.60 GHz, and its benchmark scores show strong single-thread performance with a 3dmark single-thread score of 913 and a Cinebench R23 single-core score of 2438. The Intel Arc B580, by contrast, is a 12 GB GDDR6 GPU with 2560 shading units and a memory bandwidth of 456.0 GB/s.

At 1920x1080, the large performance gap between presets — from 150.8 FPS at Low to 70.9 FPS at Ultra — suggests that the GPU is the primary performance driver. The CPU's multi-thread capabilities, demonstrated by a Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 17272, are sufficient to feed the GPU even at higher frame rates. The fact that Low settings produce nearly double the frame rate of Ultra settings at 1080p indicates that the rendering load, rather than CPU processing, is the limiting factor.

As resolution increases to 2560x1440, the frame rates compress, but the CPU still appears to have headroom. The 113.7 FPS at Low settings versus 51.5 FPS at Ultra shows a 62.2 FPS spread, which is smaller than the 1080p spread of 79.9 FPS. This narrowing suggests the GPU is beginning to exert more influence, as the pixel count demands more from the graphics hardware. The CPU's role remains stable, as evidenced by the consistent frame rates at lower settings across resolutions.

At 3840x2160, the GPU's dominance becomes clear. The spread between Low and Ultra narrows to 34.2 FPS, and the maximum frame rate drops to 70.7 FPS at Low settings. This compression indicates that the Arc B580 is fully saturated at 4K, and the CPU is no longer a limiting factor. The GPU's FP32 performance of 13.67 TFLOPS and pixel rate of 213.6 GPixel/s are insufficient to maintain high frame rates at 4K with demanding presets. The data shows a classic GPU-bound scenario at 4K, where the CPU's performance, including its 3dmark max-thread score of 5554, is more than adequate for the workload.

Similar Performance Alternatives

The nearest rival data provides context for both components. For the Ryzen 5 5600GT, the closest performance match is the Intel Core i5-12490F, which has an average benchmark score of 20802 compared to the CPU's 20733, a difference of only -0.3%. The Intel Xeon 6325P scores 20821 (delta of -0.4%), and the Intel Core Ultra 5 125U achieves 20826 (delta of -0.4%). The AMD EPYC 7J13 rounds out the group with 20845 (delta of -0.5%). These rivals would exhibit nearly identical CPU-bound behavior in Lockdown Protocol, meaning users with any of these processors would see similar frame rates in CPU-limited scenarios.

For the Intel Arc B580, the nearest GPU rival is the AMD Radeon RX 580 2048SP, which scores 23061 compared to the GPU's 23021, a delta of -0.2%.
