Lockdown Protocol

Measured FPS Breakdown

The recorded data for this combination of an AMD Ryzen 7 5700 and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 in Lockdown Protocol shows a clear performance hierarchy across the three tested resolutions. All measurements are average frame rates, as the database did not capture minimum or maximum values for this configuration.

At 1920x1080, the system delivers strong results across every preset. Low settings produce 148 FPS average, which is the highest figure recorded for this combo at any resolution. Medium settings drop to 101 FPS, still well above the 60 FPS playability threshold. High settings yield 87.7 FPS, and Ultra settings manage 69.6 FPS. The scaling from Low to Ultra represents a reduction of roughly 53% of the Low preset's frame rate, but every setting remains comfortably playable.

Moving to 2560x1440, the performance curve tightens. Low settings produce 107.3 FPS, which remains excellent for a 1440p panel. Medium settings deliver 77.2 FPS, and High settings hold at 63.9 FPS. Ultra settings fall to 52.4 FPS, dropping below the 60 FPS threshold. The difference between Low and Ultra at this resolution is about 51%, similar in proportion to the 1080p scaling, but the absolute numbers land lower across the board.

At 3840x2160, the RTX 2060 begins to strain under the pixel load. Low settings still manage 67 FPS, barely clearing the playability mark. Medium settings drop to 51.9 FPS, High settings fall to 45.4 FPS, and Ultra settings sink to 32.4 FPS. The gap between Low and Ultra here is larger in relative terms, with Ultra delivering less than half of the Low preset's frame rate. The 4K results show a steep cliff between Low and Medium, indicating that the GPU's memory bandwidth and compute resources are the limiting factors once resolution scales up.

The pattern across all three resolutions is consistent: Low settings always clear 60 FPS, Medium clears 60 FPS at 1080p and 1440p but not 4K, High clears 60 FPS at 1080p and 1440p, and Ultra only clears 60 FPS at 1080p. The data shows a system that is well suited to 1080p gaming with headroom for higher settings, acceptable for 1440p with moderate settings, and only viable at 4K with the lowest preset.

Similar Performance Alternatives

The database places the AMD Ryzen 7 5700 in the 78th percentile among all tested CPUs, with an average benchmark score of 25517. Its nearest rivals in the CPU benchmark rankings are all within a fraction of a percent in average score. The Intel Xeon D-2752TER scores 25530, a delta of -0.1% relative to the Ryzen 7 5700. The AMD Ryzen 5 7640U scores 25485, a delta of 0.1%. The AMD Ryzen 5 6600H scores 25550, a delta of -0.1%. The AMD Ryzen 7 5825U scores 25446, a delta of 0.3%. In practical terms, any of these processors would deliver nearly identical CPU-bound performance in Lockdown Protocol, though the Ryzen 5 parts have fewer cores and threads, which could affect heavily threaded workloads outside this game.

For the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060, the database shows a 58th percentile ranking among all tested GPUs, with an average benchmark score of 15290. Its nearest rivals are similarly close in aggregate score. The NVIDIA GeForce GTX 580 scores 15283, a delta of 0%. The AMD Radeon 680M scores 15270, a delta of 0.1%. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 OEM scores 15199, a delta of 0.6%. The AMD Radeon RX 7600 scores 15171, a delta of 0.8%. These deltas are all under 1%, meaning that swapping the RTX 2060 for any of these cards would produce nearly indistinguishable frame rates in this game. The GTX 580 is a much older architecture, however, so its similar aggregate score likely comes from different strengths and weaknesses in specific workloads rather than overall parity in modern titles.

A user considering an upgrade or a comparable build could expect the RTX 3050 OEM or RX 7600 to behave very similarly to the RTX 2060 in Lockdown Protocol, based on the aggregate benchmark proximity. The AMD Radeon 680M, being an integrated graphics solution, would also match the RTX 2060's aggregate score, though driver and memory bandwidth differences could shift real-world results. The CPU alternatives, particularly the Ryzen 5 6600H and Ryzen 7 5825U, are mobile parts that would not be socket-compatible with a desktop AM4 board, but their benchmark parity indicates that the Ryzen 7 5700 is not leaving meaningful performance on the table in CPU-bound scenarios.

The Verdict

The data answers the core question directly: yes, this PC can run Lockdown Protocol, but the experience depends heavily on resolution and settings. At 1920x1080, the system clears the 60 FPS threshold on every preset, including Ultra at 69.6 FPS. This is the only resolution where the full range of settings is usable. At 2560x1440, High settings are the ceiling for smooth play, with 63.9 FPS average, while Ultra drops to 52.4 FPS. At 3840x2160, only Low settings reach the playable threshold, averaging 67 FPS, and even then with a relatively slim margin.

The verdict by resolution from the database confirms this: 1920x1080 lists all four presets as playable, 2560x1440 lists High, Low, and Medium as playable, and 3840x2160 lists only Low as playable. The best settings at each resolution are Ultra at 1080p with 69.6 FPS, High at 1440p with 63.9 FPS, and Low at 4K with 67 FPS. For a 60 FPS target, a user with a 1080p monitor has complete freedom, a 1440p user must compromise on preset quality, and a 4K user must accept the lowest visual fidelity.

CPU and GPU Roles

The benchmark results reveal how the balance between CPU and GPU shifts across resolutions and presets. At 1920x1080, the GPU has the least pixel work per frame, so the CPU's capability becomes relatively more important. The Ryzen 7 5700's 8 cores and 16 threads, combined with its 16 MB of L3 cache, are sufficient to feed the RTX 2060 at 148 FPS on Low settings. The fact that Low settings at 1080p produce more than double the frame rate of Ultra at 4K (148 versus 32.4 FPS) indicates that the GPU is the dominant constraint at higher resolutions and higher presets.

At 2560x1440, the GPU begins to take on a larger share of the workload. The drop from Low at 107.3 FPS to Ultra at 52.4 FPS shows a performance swing of about 51%, which is primarily a GPU-side effect of increased shading and texture work. The CPU's role at this resolution is less demanding because frame rates are lower, giving the processor more time per frame to issue draw calls and physics updates.

At 3840x2160, the GPU is clearly the limiting factor. Even Low settings, which minimize pixel shader work, only reach 67 FPS, and Ultra sinks to 32.4 FPS. The RTX 2060's 6 GB of GDDR6 memory and 336.0 GB/s bandwidth are likely strained by the 4K framebuffer and texture requirements. The CPU, by contrast, has ample headroom at these frame rates, as evidenced by the fact that the same processor can drive 148 FPS at 1080p Low without issue.

The resolution scaling data also shows that the RTX 2060's performance degrades more steeply than a purely GPU-bound scaling model would predict. From 1080p Low to 1440p Low, the frame rate drops from 148 to 107.3, a 27.5% reduction. From 1440p Low to 4K Low, it drops from 107.3 to 67, a 37.6% reduction. These diminishing returns point to memory bandwidth saturation at higher resolutions, reinforcing that the GPU is the primary determinant of playability in this game.

How This Combo Ranks

In the database's full list of tested CPU and GPU combinations for Lockdown Protocol, this pairing ranks 2874 out of 3714 total combinations. That places it in the lower portion of the overall distribution, around the 23rd percentile of tested systems. This ranking reflects the RTX 2060's age and its position in the 58th percentile among GPUs, combined with the Ryzen 7 5700's stronger 78th percentile standing among CPUs.

The ranking is not a verdict on playability, as the measured FPS data shows this combo can run the game well at 1080p and acceptably at 1440p. Instead, it indicates that many other tested configurations deliver higher frame rates, particularly those with newer GPUs. The CPU's relatively stronger percentile suggests that upgrading the GPU would yield a larger performance gain than upgrading the processor for this specific game. The gap between the combo's rank and the CPU's percentile also implies that the GPU is the bottleneck in most scenarios, consistent with the resolution scaling analysis.

Best Settings per Resolution

At 1920x1080, the most demanding preset that maintains at least 60 FPS is Ultra, with an average of 69.6 FPS. The margin above the threshold is about 9.6 FPS, which is comfortable but not excessive. Users who prefer higher frame rates could step down to High at 87.7 FPS or Medium at 101 FPS.

At 2560x1440, the best setting is High, averaging 63.9 FPS. The margin above 60 FPS is only 3.9 FPS, so this preset is viable but leaves little room for frame time spikes. Medium settings at 77.2 FPS offer a safer buffer if consistent frame pacing is a priority, while Low at 107.3 FPS is available for competitive play.

At 3840x2160, the only preset that clears 60 FPS is Low, with an average of 67 FPS. The margin is 7 FPS, which is adequate for a 60 Hz display but not for high refresh rate monitors. Medium settings at 51.9 FPS would require a 48 Hz or lower refresh rate to avoid judder, and High and Ultra are not recommended for smooth gameplay at this resolution.

For a 60 FPS target, the recommended configurations are Ultra at 1080p, High at 1440p, and Low at 4K. These represent the maximum visual quality the RTX 2060 can sustain at each resolution while staying above the playability threshold.
