Lockdown Protocol

AMD Ryzen 5 5600X and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 SUPER is a well-matched pairing for Lockdown Protocol, delivering a smooth 60+ FPS experience at 1080p and 1440p with high settings, while 4K requires a drop to Low settings. The data shows this combo ranks 2564th out of 3714 tested configurations, placing it in the upper half of all systems in the database.

FAQ

Q: Can this system run Lockdown Protocol at 60 FPS on 1080p Ultra settings?

A: Yes. The measured average frame rate at 1920x1080 with Ultra settings is 75.2 FPS, which clears the 60 FPS playable threshold with a comfortable margin.

Q: What is the best playable setting at 1440p?

A: High settings are the most demanding preset that stays above 60 FPS at 2560x1440, producing an average of 74.2 FPS. Medium runs at 82.1 FPS, but High offers better visual quality while still maintaining smooth performance.

Q: Is 4K gaming viable with this hardware?

A: Only at Low settings. The average FPS at 3840x2160 with Low settings is 74.9, while Medium drops to 52.6 FPS, which is below the 60 FPS playability threshold. High runs at 49.3 FPS and Ultra at 32.6 FPS.

Q: How does the RTX 2060 SUPER compare to its nearest rivals?

A: The GPU's average benchmark score is 18093. It sits within 1.6% of the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 Mobile, AMD Radeon Pro 5700, AMD Radeon RX 460, and Intel Arc A770M, with delta percentages ranging from -0.4% to -1.6%.

Q: What is the CPU's performance percentile?

A: The AMD Ryzen 5 5600X sits in the 75th percentile of all CPUs tested, with an average benchmark score of 21771. Its nearest rivals, the AMD Ryzen 7 4800H, AMD Ryzen 5 PRO 6650U, Intel Core i7-11700, and AMD EPYC 9554P, all score within 0.6% of it.

Q: Does the CPU bottleneck the GPU in this game?

A: No. The CPU's 75th percentile ranking and strong multi-threaded scores (11838 in Cinebench R23 multi-core) are more than sufficient for Lockdown Protocol. The frame rate scaling between resolutions indicates the GPU is the primary limiting factor at higher settings.

CPU and GPU Roles

The data reveals a clear division of labor between the AMD Ryzen 5 5600X and the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 SUPER. At 1080p, the CPU has enough headroom that the GPU becomes the determining factor when raising settings. The frame rate drops from 161.7 FPS at Low to 100.2 FPS at High, a 38% reduction that scales directly with GPU workload. Ultra settings further reduce performance to 75.2 FPS, showing that each preset tier imposes a measurable cost on the graphics pipeline.

Moving to 1440p, the GPU's role becomes more pronounced. The gap between Low (114.5 FPS) and Ultra (54.2 FPS) widens to 53%, compared to the 53% gap at 1080p. This indicates the GPU is increasingly saturated as pixel count rises. The CPU's 6 cores and 12 threads, running at a boost clock of 4.60 GHz, are not the constraint here; the 448.0 GB/s memory bandwidth and 7.181 TFLOPS of FP32 compute in the RTX 2060 SUPER determine the ceiling.

At 4K, the GPU is the overwhelming bottleneck. Performance collapses from 74.9 FPS at Low to 32.6 FPS at Ultra, a 57% drop. The 8 GB GDDR6 memory on a 256-bit bus is taxed heavily at this resolution. The CPU's contribution is minimal at this point; even a stronger processor would not recover the lost frames because the GPU is already at its compute and bandwidth limits. The scaling pattern across resolutions confirms that Lockdown Protocol is GPU-bound in this pairing, with the CPU providing stable frame pacing but never becoming the limiting factor.

Best Settings per Resolution

At 1920x1080, the system clears 60 FPS at every preset. Ultra settings deliver 75.2 FPS, making this the best visual configuration that still maintains playability. There is no need to compromise; the RTX 2060 SUPER has enough headroom for maximum quality at this resolution.

At 2560x1440, High settings are the optimal choice. The measured average of 74.2 FPS stays well above the 60 FPS threshold. Medium runs faster at 82.1 FPS, but High provides superior image quality without sacrificing smoothness. Ultra drops to 54.2 FPS, which is below the playable mark, so it should be avoided at this resolution.

At 3840x2160, only Low settings are viable. The average of 74.9 FPS is surprisingly strong for 4K, but every higher preset falls short. Medium runs at 52.6 FPS, High at 49.3 FPS, and Ultra at 32.6 FPS. Users wanting 4K must accept Low settings, which still deliver a smooth experience but with reduced visual fidelity.

Similar Performance Alternatives

For the CPU, the AMD Ryzen 5 5600X's nearest rivals are all within a fraction of a percent in average benchmark score. The AMD Ryzen 7 4800H scores 21749, just 0.1% lower. The AMD Ryzen 5 PRO 6650U scores 21874, 0.5% higher. The Intel Core i7-11700 scores 21891, 0.5% higher. The AMD EPYC 9554P scores 21899, 0.6% higher. In practical terms, swapping to any of these processors would produce indistinguishable frame rates in Lockdown Protocol, since the game is GPU-bound at the tested resolutions.

For the GPU, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 SUPER's nearest rivals cluster tightly around its average score of 18093. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 Mobile scores 18159, 0.4% higher. The AMD Radeon Pro 5700 scores 18189, 0.5% higher. The AMD Radeon RX 460 scores 18373, 1.5% higher. The Intel Arc A770M scores 18383, 1.6% higher. These deltas are small enough that gameplay differences would be negligible. A system with any of these GPUs paired with a similar CPU would land in the same performance envelope, meaning the settings recommendations above would apply equally.

The Verdict

This PC can run Lockdown Protocol successfully across all three tested resolutions, but the quality ceiling varies significantly.

At 1920x1080, the system is fully capable. Every preset from Low to Ultra stays above 60 FPS, with Ultra yielding 75.2 FPS. This is the ideal resolution for this hardware, offering maximum visual quality without any performance compromises.

At 2560x1440, the system remains playable at High settings with 74.2 FPS. Medium is also viable at 82.1 FPS, and Low runs at 114.5 FPS. Ultra is the only preset that fails the 60 FPS test, dropping to 54.2 FPS. Users at this resolution should stick to High for the best balance.

At 3840x2160, the system is only playable at Low settings. The 74.9 FPS average is respectable, but Medium (52.6 FPS), High (49.3 FPS), and Ultra (32.6 FPS) all fall short. 4K gaming is technically possible but requires significant graphical compromises.

The verdict is clear: this is a solid 1080p and 1440p machine for Lockdown Protocol. The RTX 2060 SUPER's 62nd percentile ranking among all GPUs, combined with the Ryzen 5 5600X's 75th percentile CPU ranking, creates a balanced system that handles the game's demands without a weak link.

How This Combo Ranks

In the database of tested configurations, this AMD Ryzen 5 5600X and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 SUPER pairing ranks 2564th out of 3714 combos for Lockdown Protocol. That places it in the 69th percentile of all tested systems, which is a strong showing for hardware from these generations.

The ranking reflects the system's ability to maintain 60+ FPS at 1080p and 1440p with high settings. The GPU's 62nd percentile standing is the limiting factor; a higher-ranked GPU would push this combo higher in the overall standings. However, the CPU's 75th percentile ranking ensures there is no processor-induced drag on performance.

Compared to the nearest rival GPUs, the RTX 2060 SUPER's position is competitive. The delta percentages against the RTX 3060 Mobile, Radeon Pro 5700, RX 460, and Arc A770M are all within 1.6%, meaning these alternative configurations would land in a similar ranking band. The combo's specific rank of 2564 is a function of both components working together, and the data indicates this pairing is well within the playable zone for the majority of tested scenarios.

The overall picture is positive. This system is not at the top of the database, but it does not need to be. For Lockdown Protocol, the measured frame rates show that it clears the 60 FPS threshold at the most common gaming resolutions, which is the metric that matters for actual gameplay.
