Players sensitive to frame pacing should use the Low preset instead, which averages 83 FPS.

Best Settings per Resolution

At 3840x2160, the most demanding preset that stays at or above 60 FPS is Low, which delivers an average of 83 FPS. The Medium preset averages 59 FPS, missing the threshold by a single frame, so it cannot be recommended for consistent playability.

At 2560x1440, the Ultra preset is the most demanding option that maintains 60 FPS, averaging exactly 60 FPS. This provides maximum visual quality while still meeting the playability bar. High averages 80 FPS, Medium averages 91 FPS, and Low averages 128 FPS.

At 1920x1080, the Ultra preset averages 81 FPS, making it the highest quality setting that comfortably exceeds 60 FPS. High averages 109 FPS, Medium averages 124 FPS, and Low averages 175 FPS. The 1080p Ultra configuration offers the best balance of visual fidelity and smooth performance.

The Verdict

This PC can run Lockdown Protocol playably at all three tested resolutions, but with significant caveats at 4K. At 3840x2160, only the Low preset clears the 60 FPS threshold, averaging 83 FPS. The Medium preset falls just short at 59 FPS average, while High and Ultra average 51 and 39 FPS respectively. For 4K gaming, players must accept reduced visual quality to maintain smooth frame rates.

At 2560x1440, the system performs substantially better. All four presets — Low, Medium, High, and Ultra — meet the 60 FPS playability requirement. The Ultra preset averages exactly 60 FPS, providing the full visual experience at the playability boundary. Players wanting headroom above the threshold should use High, which averages 80 FPS.

At 1920x1080, the combination excels. Every preset averages well above 60 FPS, with Ultra delivering 81 FPS, High at 109 FPS, Medium at 124 FPS, and Low at 175 FPS. The 1080p Ultra experience is fully playable with substantial margin, making this the resolution where the hardware truly shines.

Given the verdict data, this system is best suited for 1080p and 1440p gaming in Lockdown Protocol. The 4K experience is limited to Low settings, which may disappoint players expecting high-fidelity visuals at that resolution. The overall ranking of 2194 out of 3714 combos reflects this mixed capability — solid mid-range performance with clear resolution boundaries.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 3840x2160, the measured frame rates show a clear degradation as settings increase. The Low preset averages 83 FPS with no recorded minimum or maximum. Medium averages 59 FPS with a minimum of 50 FPS and maximum of 68 FPS. High averages 51 FPS, and Ultra averages 39 FPS. The gap between Low and Medium is substantial at 24 FPS, indicating the GPU struggles with intermediate settings at 4K.

At 2560x1440, the performance curve is more forgiving. Low averages 128 FPS. Medium averages 91 FPS with a minimum of 77 FPS and maximum of 105 FPS. High averages 80 FPS. Ultra averages exactly 60 FPS. The step from Medium to High costs 11 FPS, while the step from High to Ultra costs 20 FPS, showing diminishing returns at the highest quality tier.

At 1920x1080, the system demonstrates strong performance across all presets. Low averages 175 FPS. Medium averages 124 FPS with a minimum of 106 FPS and maximum of 143 FPS. High averages 109 FPS. Ultra averages 81 FPS. The scaling between presets is consistent, with each tier costing roughly 15-25 FPS, and even the most demanding preset maintains a comfortable margin above the 60 FPS threshold.

The data reveals that the RX 9060 has a performance ceiling around 4K Medium, where it averages 59 FPS, while the 1440p Ultra preset sits at exactly 60 FPS. The 1080p Ultra preset at 81 FPS suggests the GPU has significant headroom at lower resolutions, making the CPU less likely to bottleneck in most scenarios.
