Lockdown Protocol

Lockdown Protocol is a fast-paced FPS that demands a balanced platform, and the combination of an AMD Ryzen 7 5700X3D with an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 SUPER produces a specific performance profile. The database shows this pairing ranks 2616 out of 3714 tested combinations for this game, placing it in the lower-middle portion of all systems evaluated. The recorded measurements cover three resolutions and four quality presets, giving a clear picture of where this hardware lands relative to the 60 FPS playability threshold.

Similar Performance Alternatives

The CPU and GPU each have close neighbors in the benchmark database, and these rivals help contextualize the expected behavior of this combo. For the processor, the AMD Ryzen 7 5700X3D posts an average benchmark score of 24709. The nearest competitor is the AMD Ryzen 5 7600X3D with an average score of 24728, a difference of only 0.1 percent. That is effectively a statistical tie, meaning systems built around either chip would deliver nearly identical frame rates in CPU-bound scenarios. The AMD Ryzen 9 5900HX scores 24822, which is 0.5 percent higher, while the Intel Core i5-12450HX trails by 0.5 percent with a score of 24576. The Intel Core i5-11600 comes in at 24563, just 0.6 percent behind. In practical terms, swapping the 5700X3D for any of these four alternatives would produce indistinguishable results in Lockdown Protocol, since the margin is under one percent.

For the graphics card, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 SUPER has an average benchmark score of 18093. The closest rival is the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 Mobile at 18159, which is 0.4 percent ahead. The AMD Radeon Pro 5700 scores 18189, 0.5 percent higher. Two other entries, the AMD Radeon RX 460 and the Intel Arc A770M, score 18373 and 18383 respectively, representing 1.5 and 1.6 percent advantages. These deltas are small enough that the RTX 2060 SUPER and its nearest rivals would produce nearly identical frame rates in Lockdown Protocol, especially at higher resolutions where GPU load dominates. The data indicates that users with any of these GPUs should expect similar performance, with differences well within run-to-run variance.

CPU and GPU Roles

The measured frame rates across resolutions and presets reveal how the workload shifts between the processor and the graphics card. At 1920x1080 with Low settings, the system reaches 160.5 FPS, which is the highest recorded value for this combo. This suggests the CPU is capable of feeding the GPU at this resolution and preset level. Moving to Medium at 1080p drops the average to 114.3 FPS, while High yields 100.7 FPS and Ultra produces 73.6 FPS. The scaling from Low to Ultra at 1080p shows a 54 percent reduction in frame rate, which points to the GPU becoming progressively more involved as visual quality increases.

At 2560x1440, the pattern shifts. Low settings produce 115.7 FPS, Medium delivers 84.6 FPS, High reaches 73 FPS, and Ultra falls to 51.4 FPS. The gap between Low and Ultra at 1440p is 56 percent, similar to the 1080p scaling. However, the absolute numbers are lower, indicating that the GPU is now the primary constraint. The RTX 2060 SUPER has to render more pixels, and the CPU has more headroom than the GPU can use. The 1080p to 1440p drop at High settings, from 100.7 FPS to 73 FPS, represents a 27 percent decline, which is a clear sign of GPU-bound behavior.

At 3840x2160, the GPU is heavily taxed. Low settings yield 76.9 FPS, Medium drops to 52.1 FPS, High falls to 45.7 FPS, and Ultra bottoms out at 34.8 FPS. The difference between Low and Ultra at 4K is 55 percent, and the step from 1440p High to 4K High is a 37 percent reduction. This confirms that the RTX 2060 SUPER is the limiting factor at 4K, while the Ryzen 7 5700X3D has sufficient single-thread and multi-thread performance to stay out of the way. The CPU percentile of 77 against all processors, combined with the GPU percentile of 62 against all graphics cards, supports this interpretation: the processor is the stronger component in this pairing.

The Verdict

This PC can run Lockdown Protocol, but the experience depends heavily on the chosen resolution and settings. At 1920x1080, every preset from Low to Ultra stays above 60 FPS. The Low preset runs at 160.5 FPS, Medium at 114.3 FPS, High at 100.7 FPS, and Ultra at 73.6 FPS. This resolution offers full flexibility, and players can max out the visual quality without dropping below the playability threshold.

At 2560x1440, the system remains viable for most presets. Low, Medium, and High all clear 60 FPS, with averages of 115.7, 84.6, and 73 FPS respectively. Ultra settings fall short at 51.4 FPS, so users must dial back to High for a smooth experience. The verdict at this resolution is positive, with a clear ceiling on the highest quality tier.

At 3840x2160, only Low settings are playable, producing 76.9 FPS. Medium, High, and Ultra all fail to reach 60 FPS, with averages of 52.1, 45.7, and 34.8 FPS. The verdict for 4K is that the hardware can handle the game only at reduced quality, making this resolution less suitable for a consistently smooth experience. Overall, this combo is a solid 1080p machine and a capable 1440p system, but it is not a 4K performer beyond the lowest preset.

How This Combo Ranks

The database places this CPU and GPU pairing at rank 2616 out of 3714 tested combinations for Lockdown Protocol. This position reflects a system that is below the median but still functional for the game. The rank is influenced by the GPU, which sits at the 62nd percentile among all graphics cards, while the CPU is stronger at the 77th percentile. The combination benefits from a capable processor that handles the game's simulation and physics threads, but the GPU limits high-resolution and high-preset performance.

Compared to the nearest rival components, this combo behaves similarly to systems using a Ryzen 5 7600X3D or a Ryzen 9 5900HX with a GPU like the RTX 3060 Mobile or Radeon Pro 5700. The rank of 2616 indicates that many other tested combos outperform it, particularly those with newer or higher-tier graphics cards. For Lockdown Protocol, the bottleneck is clearly the RTX 2060 SUPER, especially at resolutions above 1080p and at Ultra settings. Users with this pairing should prioritize GPU upgrades if they want to push higher visual quality.

Best Settings per Resolution

The data provides a clear set of optimal settings for each resolution, defined as the most demanding preset that still maintains an average of at least 60 FPS.

At 1920x1080, the best settings are Ultra, which runs at 73.6 FPS. This is the highest quality tier available, and it stays comfortably above the threshold. Players can enjoy maximum visual fidelity at this resolution without compromise.

At 2560x1440, the best settings are High, producing 73 FPS. Ultra is not viable because it drops to 51.4 FPS, so High represents the optimal balance between image quality and smoothness. Medium and Low also clear 60 FPS, but they offer lower visual quality for no performance benefit over High.

At 3840x2160, the best settings are Low, which yields 76.9 FPS. No higher preset reaches 60 FPS, so Low is the only playable option. Medium falls to 52.1 FPS, High to 45.7 FPS, and Ultra to 34.8 FPS. For 4K users, accepting Low settings is necessary to maintain a playable frame rate.

These recommendations show a clear pattern: the RTX 2060 SUPER can handle high frame rates at 1080p and moderate frame rates at 1440p, but 4K requires significant quality reductions. The Ryzen 7 5700X3D provides enough CPU performance to support these frame rates, with the GPU acting as the deciding factor at every resolution.
