Performance Analysis: Lockdown Protocol on Your System
Lockdown Protocol, an FPS released in March 2024, meets a pairing of AMD's Ryzen 5 7500F and Radeon RX 6600 XT — a six-core Zen 4 desktop CPU paired with an RDNA 2 GPU built on the Navi 23 chip. The question this page answers is straightforward: where does this combination land in measured frame rates, and which settings keep it above the 60 FPS playability threshold? The dataset contains measured average frame rates across three resolutions and four presets, and the short answer is that 1080p is fully playable at every preset, 1440p is playable at three of four, and 4K only at Low.
Measured FPS Breakdown
At 1920x1080, the data shows remarkable headroom. Low averages 159 FPS, Medium 113 FPS, High 99 FPS, and even Ultra holds a 74 FPS average. The Medium entry is the only one with recorded frame-time spread at this resolution: a minimum of 96 and a maximum of 130. That range matters — it indicates the dips stay comfortably above 60 even while peaks reach well past 100.
At 2560x1440, the averages step down predictably: 117 FPS on Low, 83 FPS on Medium, 72 FPS on High, and 54 FPS on Ultra. Medium at 1440p carries a min of 70 and a max of 95, which is worth noting: the minimum sits above 60, meaning Medium at 1440p doesn't just clear the bar on average, it clears it in the dips as well. Ultra at 54 FPS average is the only 1440p preset that falls short.
At 3840x2160, the picture narrows sharply. Low averages 75 FPS, Medium 53 FPS, High 47 FPS, and Ultra 35 FPS. Medium at 4K records a min of 45 and a max of 61 — so even the peaks barely touch the threshold. Only Low remains above 60 at 4K.
A curious pattern in this dataset: min and max figures exist only for the Medium preset at each resolution. That leaves open whether Low and High dips behave as gracefully, but the averages suggest Low has ample margin at 1080p and 1440p.
CPU and GPU Roles
The scaling between resolutions tells us this game is GPU-bound on this configuration. Consider the numbers: at Medium, average FPS drops from 113 at 1080p to 83 at 1440p to 53 at 4K — a steep decline as pixel count rises, which is the classic signature of graphics-limited performance. If the Ryzen 5 7500F were the bottleneck, raising the resolution would barely change frame rates.
Preset scaling reinforces this. At a fixed 1080p, going from Low to Ultra drops the average from 159 to 74 FPS — a large span that again points at the RX 6600 XT doing the limiting. An 8 GB, 128-bit GDDR6 card with 256.0 GB/s of memory bandwidth was never going to feed 4K Ultra comfortably, and the 35 FPS average there confirms the memory subsystem and shading throughput are saturated.
That said, the CPU is no weak link. The 7500F posts a single-thread Passmark score of 3841, a Geekbench single-core of 2374, and a Cinebench R23 single-core of 3218 — strong per-core figures for a processor with six cores and twelve threads boosting to 5.00 GHz. Its percentile against all CPUs is 77, versus the RX 6600 XT's percentile of 70 against all GPUs. In this pairing, the GPU sits slightly lower in its respective stack, and the data consistently reflects that the Radeon is the component setting the ceiling.
Best Settings per Resolution
Using the 60 FPS threshold and the measured averages:
- 1920x1080 — Ultra, 74 FPS average. Every preset clears 60 at 1080p, so the most demanding option is the answer.
- 2560x1440 — High, 72 FPS average. High stays above 60; Ultra at 54 does not.
- 3840x2160 — Low, 75 FPS average. The only 4K preset above the threshold. Medium at 53 falls short.
The interesting nuance is 1440p Medium versus 1080p Ultra: both are "best" for their resolution, but 1440p Medium averages 83 FPS with a 70 FPS minimum — arguably the more consistent experience of the two despite the lower preset.
How This Combo Ranks
Within the Lockdown Protocol results database, this pairing ranks 2630 out of 3714 tested combinations. That places it below the median — roughly the bottom third of tested hardware configurations for this game. Is that a concern? Not really, given the outcomes above: ranking below median while still delivering 1080p Ultra at 74 FPS suggests the database includes a substantial number of higher-tier combinations pushing this title to very high frame rates, rather than this combo being inadequate. Lockdown Protocol is clearly not a brutal title for mid-range hardware, and a rank of 2630 still buys a fully playable experience at two of the three tested resolutions.
FAQ
Q: Can the Ryzen 5 7500F + RX 6600 XT run Lockdown Protocol at 4K?
A: Only at Low settings, averaging 75 FPS. Medium (53), High (47), and Ultra (35) all fall below the 60 FPS threshold at 3840x2160.
Q: What is the highest setting that stays above 60 FPS at 1440p?
A: High, at a 72 FPS average. Medium (83 FPS, with a 70 FPS minimum) and Low (117 FPS) also qualify; Ultra at 54 FPS does not.
Q: Does the game run at 60+ FPS at 1080p on every preset?
A: Yes. Low averages 159 FPS, Medium 113, High 99, and Ultra 74 — all above 60.
Q: Which component limits performance in this game?
A: The GPU. Average FPS falls sharply as resolution rises (113 to 83 to 53 at Medium), indicating a graphics-bound scenario, while the 7500F's strong single-core scores (Passmark 3841, Cinebench R23 3218) leave ample CPU headroom.
Q: How does this combination compare to other tested setups for this game?
A: It ranks 2630 of 3714 combinations — below the median, but still playable at 1080p on all presets and 1440p on three of four.
Q: Are frame rate dips a problem at playable settings?
A: At 1440p Medium, the measured minimum is 70 FPS, so no. At 1080p Medium the minimum is 96 FPS. Min/max data for other presets was not recorded, but the averages leave margin at Low and High.
The Verdict
Yes, this PC runs Lockdown Protocol — with clear limits by resolution. At 1920x1080, every preset from Low through Ultra clears 60 FPS, topping out at a 74 FPS average on Ultra. At 2560x1440, Low, Medium, and High are playable, with High delivering 72 FPS as the best option. At 3840x2160, only Low qualifies at 75 FPS; everything above that drops below threshold. For owners of this combination, 1080p Ultra or 1440p High represents the practical ceiling, and both are genuinely comfortable rather than borderline.
Similar Performance Alternatives
Looking at the nearest rivals in the benchmark database, several substitutions would behave nearly identically. On the CPU side, the AMD Ryzen 5 8400F sits just 0.2 percent away in average benchmark score, making it the closest possible swap. Intel's Core i7-11850H and Core i7-13620H are within 0.1 and 0.2 percent respectively, and the Intel Core 5 210H within 0.4 percent — all statistically interchangeable with the 7500F in aggregate performance terms.
On the GPU side, the RX 6600 XT's nearest rivals are a more eclectic group: the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1630 (0.7 percent away), Intel Arc A350M (0.8 percent), NVIDIA GeForce GTX 780 Ti (0.8 percent), and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER (1.1 percent). The presence of the RTX 2080 SUPER in this cluster is intriguing — it suggests the database's composite scores compress very different architectures into a similar band, and that Lockdown Protocol results with any of these cards would land in the same neighborhood as the RX 6600 XT's numbers shown here. A build pairing the Ryzen 5 8400F with any of these GPUs would be expected to reproduce this page's frame rates closely.
