Its nearest rivals in the database include the NVIDIA Tesla P100 PCIe 16 GB at 79,605 (0.3% higher), the NVIDIA Tesla P100 PCIe 12 GB at 79,396 (0.6% higher), the AMD Radeon RX 6850M XT at 78,940 (1.1% higher), and the AMD Radeon Pro Vega 64X at 80,959 (1.4% lower). These workstation and mobile parts bracket the RTX 5090's raw compute performance, though the 5090's 32 GB of GDDR7 memory on a 512-bit bus with 1.79 TB/s bandwidth gives it a substantial advantage in memory-intensive scenarios. The 5090's 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 18,355 further confirms its DirectX 12 performance capability, which is directly relevant to Lockdown Protocol's rendering requirements.

CPU and GPU Roles

The measured FPS data reveals an interesting scaling pattern that clarifies which component limits performance at each resolution. At 1920x1080 with Low settings, the system produces 261 FPS average, which drops to 233.2 FPS at Medium (-10.6%), 218.7 FPS at High (-16.2%), and 176.5 FPS at Ultra (-32.4%). This substantial drop as settings increase suggests the GPU is the primary bottleneck at 1080p, since the CPU has ample headroom at lower settings to feed frames to the RTX 5090.

Moving to 2560x1440, the scaling becomes more pronounced: Low produces 238 FPS, Medium 196.4 FPS (-17.5%), High 177.2 FPS (-25.5%), and Ultra 129.9 FPS (-45.4%). The percentage drops between presets are larger at 1440p than at 1080p, indicating the GPU is working harder to fill the additional pixels. At 3840x2160, the pattern continues with Low at 181.8 FPS, Medium at 127.7 FPS (-29.8%), High at 115.1 FPS (-36.7%), and Ultra at 83.8 FPS (-53.9%). The increasingly steep curve at 4K demonstrates that the RTX 5090 becomes progressively more load-bound as resolution scales, while the Ryzen 5 5600GT maintains sufficient frame production even at the lowest settings.

The data indicates that at 1080p, the CPU's single-thread performance (3DMark single-thread score of 913, PassMark single-thread score of 3,348) is adequate to keep up with the GPU's output, as evidenced by the 261 FPS result at Low. However, the gap between Low and Medium at each resolution shows the GPU's rendering load is the dominant factor in frame rate variation. The Ryzen 5 5600GT's 16 MB L3 cache and dual-channel DDR4 memory support at 51.2 GB/s bandwidth provide sufficient memory throughput for this title, though the platform's PCIe Gen 3 interface could theoretically limit data transfer in some scenarios.

The Verdict

This system can unquestionably run Lockdown Protocol at maximum quality. The verdict data shows that at 3840x2160, all four tested settings (Low, Medium, High, Ultra) are playable, with Ultra achieving 83.8 FPS average. At 2560x1440, the same pattern holds with Ultra at 129.9 FPS, and at 1920x1080, Ultra produces 176.5 FPS. Every resolution and preset combination tested exceeds the 60 FPS playable threshold by a significant margin. The most demanding configuration — 4K Ultra — still maintains an 83.8 FPS average, which is nearly 40% above the playability threshold. This indicates the system has substantial performance reserves, making it suitable not only for current gameplay but also for potential future content patches or modifications that might increase rendering demands. The combo's 154th rank out of 3,714 tested configurations confirms that this is a top-tier setup for Lockdown Protocol.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the system delivers its highest frame rates across all settings. Low settings produce 261 FPS average, Medium settings 233.2 FPS, High settings 218.7 FPS, and Ultra settings 176.5 FPS. The scaling from Low to Ultra represents a 32.4% reduction in average frame rate, but even the lowest result remains nearly triple the 60 FPS threshold. The difference between High and Ultra is 42.2 FPS, which is the largest single-step drop at this resolution, indicating that the Ultra preset introduces significantly more rendering work.

At 2560x1440, the measured results show 238 FPS at Low, 196.4 FPS at Medium, 177.2 FPS at High, and 129.9 FPS at Ultra. The transition from Medium to High costs 19.2 FPS, while High to Ultra costs 47.3 FPS — again making Ultra the most demanding step. The 4K resolution at 3840x2160 produces 181.8 FPS at Low, 127.7 FPS at Medium, 115.1 FPS at High, and 83.8 FPS at Ultra. At this resolution, the gap between Low and Medium is 54.1 FPS, which is the largest absolute single-step drop across all resolutions and settings. The data shows a consistent pattern: each resolution increase reduces frame rates proportionally, and Ultra settings always impose the largest additional performance cost.

How This Combo Ranks

The AMD Ryzen 5 5600GT + NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 combination ranks 154th out of 3,714 tested combos for Lockdown Protocol, placing it in the top 4.1% of all tested systems. This ranking is driven primarily by the GPU's exceptional performance — the RTX 5090 sits at the 92nd percentile among all GPUs with an average benchmark score of 79,842. The CPU's 74th percentile ranking (average score 20,733) is comparatively more modest, but the measured FPS data shows that this does not bottleneck the system in Lockdown Protocol. The nearest GPU rivals (Tesla P100 variants, RX 6850M XT, Radeon Pro Vega 64X) all bracket the 5090 within 1.4%, yet these are largely workstation or mobile parts not typically paired with desktop gaming CPUs. The combination's high rank suggests that the RTX 5090's massive 32 GB memory pool and 104.8 TFLOPS FP32 compute provide ample headroom for this FPS title, while the Ryzen 5 5600GT's 6-core/12-thread configuration with 4.60 GHz boost clock keeps frame pacing consistent.

Best Settings per Resolution

At 1920x1080, the most demanding preset that maintains 60 FPS is Ultra, which delivers 176.5 FPS average. This is the highest quality setting available in the test data, and it still provides nearly triple the playable threshold, leaving enormous headroom for competitive play or high refresh rate displays. The measured data confirms this is the best choice at 1080p, as there is no performance penalty that would justify dropping to a lower preset.

At 2560x1440, Ultra settings again provide the best experience with 129.9 FPS average. This is more than double the 60 FPS threshold, meaning players can enjoy maximum quality without any concern for playability. The step down to High (177.2 FPS) offers higher raw frame rates, but the Ultra preset's 129.9 FPS result is already well above what most 1440p displays can show.

At 3840x2160, the best settings preset that stays at or above 60 FPS is also Ultra, producing 83.8 FPS average. This is the most demanding configuration in the entire test matrix, and it still exceeds the playable threshold by 39.7%. The data shows that all four settings at 4K are playable, with the next step down (High) offering 115.1 FPS — but Ultra's 83.8 FPS result is sufficient for smooth gameplay on 60 Hz displays and even provides some margin for 120 Hz panels when VRR is enabled. This makes Ultra the recommended setting at every resolution, since the system has sufficient performance to run the game at maximum quality without compromising the 60 FPS experience.
