Lockdown Protocol

The AMD Ryzen 5 5600X and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER combination delivers high frame rates across all tested settings in Lockdown Protocol, with the data showing that every resolution and preset configuration clears the 60 FPS playability threshold. The measured results place this combo in the 621st position out of 3,714 tested hardware combinations, indicating that it sits comfortably in the upper tier of systems capable of running this FPS title.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The benchmark data for Lockdown Protocol on this hardware combination shows a clear relationship between resolution, graphical preset, and average frame rate. At 1920x1080, the system produces its highest performance numbers, starting with 264.4 FPS on Low settings. Moving to Medium yields 203.6 FPS, while High settings produce 180 FPS. The most demanding Ultra preset at this resolution still delivers 137.9 FPS, which represents a substantial margin above the 60 FPS playable threshold.

At 2560x1440, the performance scales downward but remains consistently strong. Low settings produce 213.4 FPS, Medium delivers 150.8 FPS, and High achieves 132 FPS. The Ultra preset at this resolution records 101.6 FPS, which is 41.8 FPS below the same preset at 1080p but still well above the minimum playable threshold. The gap between Low and Ultra at 1440p is 111.8 FPS, showing that the Ultra preset imposes a significant but manageable performance cost.

The 3840x2160 resolution shows the most pronounced impact of increased pixel count. Low settings yield 134.5 FPS, Medium produces 100.8 FPS, and High achieves 86.6 FPS. The Ultra preset drops to 67 FPS, which is the lowest recorded average across all tested configurations but still remains above the 60 FPS threshold. The scaling from 1080p Ultra to 4K Ultra represents a 70.9 FPS reduction, demonstrating that higher resolutions exact a steep toll on this hardware combination.

Best Settings per Resolution

At 1920x1080, the most demanding preset that maintains at least 60 FPS is Ultra, which achieves 137.9 FPS. This leaves considerable headroom above the playability threshold, suggesting that the system is not fully taxed at this resolution. The data shows that even the heaviest settings at 1080p produce frame rates that would satisfy high-refresh-rate display owners, though the Ultra preset’s 137.9 FPS falls short of the 180 FPS seen at High.

For 2560x1440, the Ultra preset remains the best available option, delivering 101.6 FPS. This is the highest preset at this resolution and still provides a comfortable cushion above 60 FPS. The frame rate reduction from 1080p Ultra to 1440p Ultra is 36.3 FPS, which is proportionally smaller than the drop seen when moving from 1440p to 4K. Users prioritizing visual fidelity at 1440p can enable all settings without concern for playability.

At 3840x2160, the Ultra preset achieves 67 FPS, which is the only configuration where the system approaches the playability boundary. While 67 FPS clears the 60 FPS threshold, it leaves limited margin for demanding in-game scenes or background processes. For users seeking more headroom at 4K, the High preset at 86.6 FPS provides a safer alternative, while Medium at 100.8 FPS and Low at 134.5 FPS offer progressively larger performance buffers.

CPU and GPU Roles

The performance scaling across resolutions reveals how the CPU and GPU share the workload in Lockdown Protocol. At 1920x1080, the system produces 264.4 FPS on Low settings, a figure that likely approaches the CPU’s maximum frame delivery capability. The Ryzen 5 5600X, with its 6 cores and 12 threads based on Zen 3 architecture, appears to be the limiting factor at this resolution and preset combination, as the GPU has relatively few pixels to render.

As resolution increases to 2560x1440, the frame rate on Low settings drops to 213.4 FPS, a 51 FPS reduction. This indicates that the GPU is beginning to take on more of the rendering workload, though the CPU still appears capable of feeding frames at a high rate. The gap between Low and Ultra at 1440p is 111.8 FPS, compared to 126.5 FPS at 1080p, suggesting that the GPU’s impact grows as resolution increases.

At 3840x2160, the GPU becomes the dominant performance factor. Low settings produce 134.5 FPS, and Ultra drops to 67 FPS, a 67.5 FPS difference between the lowest and highest presets. This 50.2% reduction from Low to Ultra at 4K contrasts with the 47.9% reduction at 1440p and the 47.9% reduction at 1080p, showing that the RTX 4070 SUPER’s rendering capabilities are increasingly stretched at higher pixel counts. The CPU’s role diminishes at 4K, where the GPU’s fill rate and shading capacity determine the final frame rate.

Similar Performance Alternatives

The nearest rivals for the AMD Ryzen 5 5600X, based on average benchmark scores, provide context for the CPU’s performance tier. The AMD Ryzen 7 4800H scores 0.1% higher, making it effectively equivalent in overall processing capability. The AMD Ryzen 5 PRO 6650U and Intel Core i7-11700 both score 0.5% higher, while the AMD EPYC 9554P leads by 0.6%. These small deltas indicate that the 5600X sits in a tightly competitive cluster of processors, though the Ryzen 7 4800H and Intel Core i7-11700 may offer similar frame pacing in CPU-bound scenarios.

On the GPU side, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER’s nearest rivals show equally close performance margins. The NVIDIA Quadro M6000 24 GB scores 0.1% lower, while the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5050 Mobile matches with a 0.1% deficit. The NVIDIA Quadro M6000 trails by 0.2%, and the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 Mobile is 1% behind. These comparisons suggest that users could expect nearly identical frame rates from any of these GPUs in Lockdown Protocol, though the desktop-oriented RTX 4070 SUPER may have different thermal and power characteristics than its mobile counterparts.

The Verdict

The benchmark data clearly indicates that this PC can run Lockdown Protocol at all tested resolutions and presets while maintaining at least 60 FPS. At 1920x1080, the Ultra preset delivers 137.9 FPS, which is more than double the playability threshold. The 2560x1440 resolution also handles Ultra settings comfortably, producing 101.6 FPS. Even the most demanding configuration tested, 3840x2160 with Ultra settings, achieves 67 FPS, narrowly clearing the 60 FPS requirement.

For users with 4K displays, the system offers flexibility. The Ultra preset at 67 FPS is technically playable, but the High preset at 86.6 FPS provides a more stable experience with reduced risk of frame drops. The Medium preset at 100.8 FPS and Low at 134.5 FPS offer additional headroom for competitive play where frame rate takes priority over visual quality.

The verdict across all resolutions is positive, with no configuration falling below the 60 FPS threshold. The weakest result, 4K Ultra at 67 FPS, still leaves a small but functional margin above the minimum requirement. Users prioritizing maximum visual fidelity can enable all settings at any resolution, while those seeking higher refresh rates can drop to lower presets to achieve frame rates exceeding 200 FPS at 1080p.
