Lockdown Protocol

Lockdown Protocol, a 2024 FPS, has been benchmarked with the AMD Ryzen 5 8400F and AMD Radeon RX 6750 XT. The measured results show this combination ranks 1641 out of 3714 tested combos, with the CPU sitting at the 77th percentile and the GPU at the 71st percentile among their respective component pools. Frame rates range from 47.1 FPS at 4K Ultra to 202.2 FPS at 1080p Low, which means the system is comfortably capable at 1080p and 1440p, while 4K requires lower presets to stay above the 60 FPS threshold.

How This Combo Ranks

The combo’s rank of 1641 out of 3714 places it in the middle of the database’s tested combinations. That rank reflects the combined capability of the Ryzen 5 8400F and the RX 6750 XT, but the individual percentiles are more telling: the CPU is in the 77th percentile of all tested CPUs, while the GPU is in the 71st percentile of all tested GPUs. The CPU’s average benchmark score is 25005, and the GPU’s average benchmark score is 26011. These are solid mid-to-upper tier scores, though the combo rank shows that many other pairings deliver higher overall game performance.

The measured FPS data confirms that the combo is not a top-tier 4K machine, but it is more than sufficient for mainstream gaming. At 1080p, every preset averages above 95 FPS, with Low reaching 202.2 FPS. At 1440p, every preset stays above 69 FPS, including Ultra at 69.8 FPS. At 4K, only Low and Medium presets clear the 60 FPS playable threshold, with Medium averaging 68.8 FPS and Low averaging 93.4 FPS. This distribution suggests that the combo is well balanced for 1080p and 1440p gaming, while 4K users will need to compromise on visual quality.

The fact that the data is marked as measured, not estimated, adds confidence to these rankings. The combination of a 77th-percentile CPU and a 71st-percentile GPU results in a mid-pack game-specific rank, which is exactly what the FPS numbers show: strong performance at lower resolutions, with diminishing returns as resolution climbs.

Similar Performance Alternatives

The nearest CPU rivals, based on average benchmark score, are all within a very narrow band of the Ryzen 5 8400F. The AMD Ryzen 5 7500F has a delta of 0.2%, the Intel Core i7-11850H has a delta of 0.3%, and the Intel Core i7-13620H has a delta of 0.4%. On the other side, the AMD EPYC 9474F shows a delta of -0.4%, meaning it is slightly behind in average score. These CPUs would be expected to produce very similar frame rates in CPU-bound scenarios, though the actual game performance can vary based on architecture and memory support.

On the GPU side, the RX 6750 XT’s nearest rivals include the AMD Radeon R9 M395X with a delta of 0.5%, the AMD FirePro W7100 with a delta of 0.6%, the AMD FirePro D700 with a delta of 0.7%, and the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 Ti Mobile with a delta of 1.1%. These are not all modern gaming GPUs, but their average benchmark scores are close enough that, in a game like Lockdown Protocol, the frame rate differences would likely be small. The RTX 3080 Ti Mobile is the most notable rival, as it is a high-end laptop part, yet the RX 6750 XT still comes within 1.1% of its average score.

When considering an upgrade or a similar prebuilt, a system with a Ryzen 5 7500F or an Intel Core i7-13620H paired with a GPU in the RX 6750 XT’s performance class would deliver nearly identical gameplay. The narrow deltas among the CPU rivals and GPU rivals mean that swapping to any of these components would not materially change the Lockdown Protocol experience.

CPU and GPU Roles

The benchmark data reveals a clear shift in which component limits performance as resolution changes. At 1080p Low, the system produces 202.2 FPS, which is the highest measured result in the entire set. This high frame rate indicates that the CPU is capable of feeding the GPU at lower resolutions, where the GPU has less work per frame. As settings increase at 1080p, the frame rate drops to 143 FPS at Medium, 126.9 FPS at High, and 95.4 FPS at Ultra. The steep decline from Low to Ultra shows that the GPU becomes more involved as graphical load rises, even at the same resolution.

Moving to 1440p, the same pattern appears but with lower absolute values. Low averages 145.7 FPS, Medium 106.2 FPS, High 93.3 FPS, and Ultra 69.8 FPS. The drop from Low to Ultra at 1440p is proportionally similar to 1080p, but the overall reduction compared to 1080p at each setting is consistent with a GPU-bound scenario. For example, 1080p High is 126.9 FPS while 1440p High is 93.3 FPS, a substantial reduction caused by the increased pixel count.

At 4K, the GPU is clearly the dominant factor. Low averages 93.4 FPS, Medium 68.8 FPS, High 56.6 FPS, and Ultra 47.1 FPS. The fact that 4K Low is only slightly lower than 1440p High (93.4 vs. 93.3) suggests that resolution scaling is hitting the GPU’s limits. The CPU’s role is most visible at 1080p Low, where the frame rate exceeds 200 FPS; such a high value would not be possible if the CPU were the bottleneck. Given that the CPU has 6 cores and 12 threads with a boost clock of 4.70 GHz, it provides enough headroom for the GPU to operate at its full potential in this game.

In summary, the CPU is more than adequate for Lockdown Protocol, and the GPU is the primary factor that determines playability at higher resolutions and presets. Players targeting 1440p or 4K will see the largest gains from a stronger GPU, while those at 1080p are likely to be GPU-limited only at Ultra settings.

A: The GPU becomes the main limiter as resolution increases. At 1080p Low the system reaches 202.2 FPS, but at 4K Low it drops to 93.4 FPS. The CPU is strong enough to avoid being a bottleneck at 1080p, but the GPU’s load scales quickly with resolution and settings.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The following table lists the measured average FPS for every resolution and preset combination. Minimum and maximum frame rate values were not recorded in the data set; only averages are available.

| Resolution | Settings | Avg FPS |

|------------|----------|---------|

| 3840x2160 | High | 56.6 |

| 3840x2160 | Low | 93.4 |

| 3840x2160 | Medium | 68.8 |

| 3840x2160 | Ultra | 47.1 |

| 2560x1440 | High | 93.3 |

| 2560x1440 | Low | 145.7 |

| 2560x1440 | Medium | 106.2 |

| 2560x1440 | Ultra | 69.8 |

| 1920x1080 | High | 126.9 |

| 1920x1080 | Low | 202.2 |

| 1920x1080 | Medium | 143.0 |

| 1920x1080 | Ultra | 95.4 |

The data shows a consistent pattern: for any given preset, moving from 1080p to 1440p reduces the average FPS by a meaningful margin, and moving from 1440p to 4K reduces it further. The largest single drop occurs at Low settings, where 1080p yields 202.2 FPS and 4K yields 93.4 FPS. At Ultra, the drop is from 95.4 FPS at 1080p to 47.1 FPS at 4K, a reduction that pushes the game below the playable threshold.

Best Settings per Resolution

The playable threshold for this benchmark is 60 FPS. For each resolution, the best setting is defined as the most demanding preset that still maintains an average of at least 60 FPS.

At 3840x2160, the best playable setting is Medium, with an average of 68.8 FPS. Low also clears the threshold at 93.4 FPS, but Medium offers higher visual quality while staying above 60. High and Ultra do not meet the threshold, with averages of 56.6 and 47.1 FPS respectively.

At 2560x1440, every preset is playable, and the best setting is Ultra, averaging 69.8 FPS. This gives players the full visual experience at 1440p without dropping below 60 FPS. High, Medium, and Low all also clear the threshold, with 93.3, 106.2, and 145.7 FPS respectively.

At 1920x1080, the best setting is Ultra, averaging 95.4 FPS. All presets at 1080p are well above the threshold, with Low at 202.2 FPS, Medium at 143.0 FPS, and High at 126.9 FPS. This resolution offers the most headroom, allowing players to max out the settings and still have a large margin above 60 FPS.

The Verdict

This PC can run Lockdown Protocol, and it does so comfortably at 1080p and 1440p. At 1920x1080, all four presets—Low, Medium, High, and Ultra—average above 60 FPS, with Ultra at 95.4 FPS. At 2560x1440, all presets also clear the threshold, including Ultra at 69.8 FPS. At 3840x2160, the system is only playable on Low and Medium, with Medium averaging 68.8 FPS; High and Ultra fall short at 56.6 and 47.1 FPS.

For a 1080p or 1440p gamer, this combination delivers smooth performance with room to spare. For 4K, the user must choose Medium settings to stay above 60 FPS, which still provides a playable experience. The combo’s mid-pack rank of 1641 out of 3714 reflects this balance: it is not a top-tier 4K system, but it is a strong mainstream performer for the most common gaming resolutions.
