Lockdown Protocol

The AMD Ryzen 5 5600X paired with the AMD Radeon RX 9070 XT is a formidable combination for Lockdown Protocol, a fast-paced FPS. The benchmark data indicates that this system delivers high frame rates across all tested resolutions, with the primary limitation appearing at 4K Ultra settings. The data shows a clear path to a smooth experience, but the most demanding preset at 3840x2160 will require a slight compromise.

Best Settings per Resolution

For a 60 FPS target, the data reveals which preset is the most demanding while still maintaining playable performance at each resolution. The recommendations below are based strictly on the measured average FPS values.

• 1920x1080: Ultra — The system achieves an average of 123.7 FPS at this preset. This is the highest quality option that clears the 60 FPS threshold with significant headroom, making it the optimal choice for high-refresh-rate monitors.
• 2560x1440: Ultra — At this resolution, the Ultra preset delivers an average of 87.1 FPS. This is comfortably above the 60 FPS target, allowing for maximum visual fidelity without sacrificing smooth gameplay.
• 3840x2160: High — The most demanding preset that stays at or above 60 FPS is High, with an average of 74.7 FPS. While the Ultra preset is technically an option, its average of 56.3 FPS falls below the playable threshold, so High is the recommended ceiling for 4K.

FAQ

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

A: No, not at a playable frame rate. The data shows an average of 56.3 FPS at 3840x2160 with Ultra settings, which is below the 60 FPS playable threshold. The best playable setting at 4K is High, which yields an average of 74.7 FPS.

Q: What is the best settings preset for 1440p gaming?

A: The benchmark results indicate that the Ultra preset is fully playable at 2560x1440, achieving an average of 87.1 FPS. This allows you to run the game at its highest visual quality while maintaining a frame rate well above the 60 FPS target.

Q: How does the combo perform at 1080p?

A: This system is exceptionally strong at 1920x1080. Even with the Ultra preset, the average frame rate is 123.7 FPS. For competitive play, the Low preset reaches an average of 258.7 FPS, which is well-suited for very high refresh rate displays.

Q: Is the CPU or GPU the limiting factor for this game?

A: The data provided does not isolate CPU vs. GPU bottlenecks. However, the CPU's benchmark scores, such as a Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 11838 and a single-core score of 1541, suggest it is a capable performer. The GPU's PassMark G3D score is 26795, and the system's overall performance in the game indicates a balanced partnership for this title.

Q: What are the frame rate differences between the Low and Ultra presets at 1440p?

A: At 2560x1440, the Low preset averages 193 FPS, while the Ultra preset averages 87.1 FPS. This represents a significant performance drop for higher visual quality, but both are well above the 60 FPS playable threshold.

Q: Is this system overkill for 1080p gaming?

A: The data suggests it provides a very high level of performance. At 1080p, the lowest average frame rate across all presets is 123.7 FPS on Ultra. This indicates the system has substantial performance overhead, making it more than sufficient for standard 60 Hz or even 144 Hz monitors.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The measured FPS data provides a detailed look at performance across each resolution and preset. All values are averages; no minimum or maximum frame rate data was recorded.

3840x2160 (4K)

• Ultra: 56.3 FPS average. This is the only setting at this resolution that dips below the 60 FPS playable threshold.
• High: 74.7 FPS average. The recommended setting for a smooth 4K experience.
• Medium: 87.4 FPS average. A solid option for higher frame rates at 4K.
• Low: 125.1 FPS average. The fastest setting, offering a very high frame rate for competitive play.

2560x1440 (1440p)

• Ultra: 87.1 FPS average. The highest preset is fully playable here.
• High: 116.7 FPS average. Provides a strong balance of quality and speed.
• Medium: 136 FPS average. A significant performance boost over High settings.
• Low: 193 FPS average. This setting is ideal for maximizing refresh rate on high-end monitors.

1920x1080 (1080p)

• Ultra: 123.7 FPS average. A very high frame rate for maximum quality settings.
• High: 158.7 FPS average. Excellent performance for a high-quality visual experience.
• Medium: 186.1 FPS average. This setting offers a substantial speed increase.
• Low: 258.7 FPS average. The peak performance setting, ideal for esports-level responsiveness.

The Verdict

Based on the measured data, this PC is highly capable of running Lockdown Protocol. The verdict by resolution is clear: at 1920x1080 and 2560x1440, the system can run the game at the Ultra preset with average frame rates of 123.7 and 87.1 FPS, respectively. Both comfortably exceed the 60 FPS playable threshold. At 3840x2160, the system cannot maintain 60 FPS on the Ultra preset, but it does achieve a playable 74.7 FPS average on High settings. The data indicates that for a 60 FPS target, this combo is excellent for 1080p and 1440p gaming with maximum settings and is also viable for 4K gaming with a single-step reduction in quality. The only scenario that fails the 60 FPS target is 4K Ultra.
