Lockdown Protocol

Measured FPS Breakdown

The recorded performance data for Lockdown Protocol with this combination of AMD Ryzen 7 5800X and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 shows a clear scaling pattern across resolutions and presets. At 1920x1080, the system delivers strong frame rates across every preset. Low settings produce an average of 145 FPS, which is the highest recorded figure for this combo in the entire test set. Medium follows at 102.3 FPS average, High at 92.4 FPS, and Ultra at 67.8 FPS. All four presets at this resolution clear the 60 FPS playability threshold with comfortable margins, and even the most demanding Ultra preset leaves roughly 8 FPS of headroom above the threshold.

Moving to 2560x1440, the frame rates remain playable but the gap between presets widens noticeably. Low settings deliver 103.5 FPS average, Medium drops to 78.7 FPS, and High still manages 64.1 FPS. The Ultra preset falls to 49.9 FPS, which sits below the 60 FPS threshold. This means that at 1440p, three of the four presets remain viable for smooth gameplay, but Ultra requires a step down in quality to maintain consistent performance.

At 3840x2160, the RTX 2060 starts to show its limits. Low settings produce 69 FPS average, which clears the threshold, but Medium drops to 49.1 FPS and High falls to 45.9 FPS. Ultra is the weakest result in the entire dataset at 34.7 FPS. The pattern here is clear: at 4K, only the Low preset can sustain a playable frame rate, and the margin is relatively thin at 9 FPS above the threshold.

The frame rate deltas between presets are worth examining. At 1080p, moving from Low to Medium costs 42.7 FPS, while moving from Medium to High costs 9.9 FPS, and High to Ultra costs 24.6 FPS. At 1440p, the Low to Medium drop is 24.8 FPS, Medium to High is 14.6 FPS, and High to Ultra is 14.2 FPS. At 4K, the Low to Medium drop is 19.9 FPS, Medium to High is 3.2 FPS, and High to Ultra is 11.2 FPS. The data indicates that the GPU's rendering headroom is progressively consumed as resolution increases, with the steepest single preset penalty occurring at 1080p Low to Medium.

It is also notable that the minimum and maximum FPS values were not recorded in the database for any resolution or preset. The analysis relies entirely on average FPS figures, which means frame time consistency cannot be assessed from the available data. Users seeking detailed 1% low or 0.1% low information will need to consult other sources, as the recorded dataset only captures the mean performance.

How This Combo Ranks

The combination of AMD Ryzen 7 5800X and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 ranks 2885 out of 3714 tested combos in Lockdown Protocol. That places it in the lower-middle portion of the database, roughly in the 22nd percentile of all recorded system configurations for this game. The rank reflects the full system pairing rather than individual component strength, so while the CPU sits in the 81st percentile among all processors and the GPU sits in the 58th percentile among all graphics cards, the combined result in this specific title is less impressive.

The gap between the component-level percentiles and the combo-level rank suggests that Lockdown Protocol is sensitive to GPU performance in a way that the RTX 2060 cannot fully overcome at higher resolutions. The CPU is clearly not the bottleneck in most scenarios: the Ryzen 7 5800X delivers strong synthetic scores across single-threaded and multi-threaded workloads, including a Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 15476 and a single-core score of 1574.5. The GPU, however, is a mid-range Turing part from the 20-series, and its 6 GB of GDDR6 memory over a 192-bit bus with 336.0 GB/s bandwidth limits how much data it can push at higher resolutions.

Within the database, this combo sits ahead of roughly 829 other configurations and behind roughly 829 others, assuming the rank distribution is uniform across the 3714 entries. The practical implication is that users with this hardware should expect a playable experience at 1080p across all presets, a partially playable experience at 1440p, and a restricted experience at 4K. The rank also implies that many other tested combos achieve better results, which aligns with the GPU's age and its position in the benchmark percentile rankings.

The data does not include information about which specific combos sit immediately above or below this rank, so direct comparison within the game is limited to the measured FPS table and the verdict summaries. What is clear from the recorded measurements is that this system performs best relative to its own component strengths at 1080p, where the CPU's high single-thread performance can help push frame rates upward even when the GPU is under load.

The Verdict

Yes, this PC can run Lockdown Protocol, but the answer depends heavily on the target resolution and quality preset. The verdict data is unambiguous: at 1920x1080, all four presets are playable, including Ultra at 67.8 FPS. At 2560x1440, High is the best playable preset at 64.1 FPS, with Medium and Low also clearing 60 FPS. At 3840x2160, only Low is playable at 69 FPS.

For users with a 1080p monitor, this system is fully capable of running the game at maximum settings with a comfortable margin above the 60 FPS threshold. The 67.8 FPS average at Ultra leaves enough headroom that most scenes should remain smooth, though the lack of minimum FPS data means sudden drops cannot be ruled out. For 1440p users, High settings are the ceiling, and even that preset sits only 4.1 FPS above the threshold. Users who prefer a larger safety margin should consider Medium at 78.7 FPS, which provides substantially more headroom while still looking noticeably better than Low.

For 4K users, the situation is more constrained. Low settings at 69 FPS is the only playable option, and the visual quality compromise is significant. Medium, High, and Ultra all fall below 60 FPS, with Ultra at 34.7 FPS being nearly half the threshold. This is not a 4K gaming system for this title, at least not with quality settings above Low.

The playability threshold in the database is set at 60 FPS, and the verdict labels align with that standard. The system does not deliver a single sub-60 FPS result at 1080p, which is the strongest outcome in the dataset. At 1440p, the one sub-60 result is Ultra at 49.9 FPS, which is still a playable frame rate for many users even if it does not meet the strict threshold. At 4K, the system is borderline at best, and the data suggests users should either drop to Low or lower the resolution entirely.

Similar Performance Alternatives

Looking at the nearest rivals for both components provides context for what other hardware would behave similarly in this game. On the CPU side, the Ryzen 7 5800X's closest neighbors in synthetic benchmarks are the Intel Core Ultra 5 135H, the Intel Xeon Phi 7210, the Intel Core i5-13500HX, and the AMD Ryzen 5 5600XT. The Core Ultra 5 135H is the closest at 0.1% behind the 5800X's average score, meaning a system built around that CPU would likely produce nearly identical frame rates in CPU-bound scenarios. The Ryzen 5 5600XT is 0.6% behind, which is also a negligible difference in real-world gaming. The Xeon Phi 7210 and Core i5-13500HX are 0.4% and 0.5% ahead respectively, so a system with either of those chips would be marginally faster in CPU-bound situations, though the differences are small enough to be within run-to-run variance in most games.

On the GPU side, the RTX 2060's nearest rivals are the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 580, the AMD Radeon 680M, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 OEM, and the AMD Radeon RX 7600. The GTX 580 is essentially tied at 0% delta, which is notable given that the GTX 580 is a much older architecture. The Radeon 680M is 0.1% behind, the RTX 3050 OEM is 0.6% behind, and the RX 7600 is 0.8% behind. These deltas are all within a narrow band, so users with any of these GPUs paired with a comparable CPU should expect very similar FPS results in Lockdown Protocol.

It is worth remembering the GPU rivals listed here span very different hardware generations and market segments. The GTX 580 is a 2010-era Fermi card, the Radeon 680M is integrated graphics found in AMD APUs, the RTX 3050 OEM is a cut-down Ampere card, and the RX 7600 is a modern RDNA3 part. Their benchmark scores clustering around 15200 to 15300 suggests that in this specific synthetic metric, the RTX 2060 occupies a performance tier that several very different architectures happen to reach. For Lockdown Protocol specifically, any of these GPU alternatives paired with a similar-tier CPU would land in the same general FPS range across resolutions and presets.

The practical takeaway is that users considering an upgrade or a sidegrade from this combo should look at the components listed above as direct performance equivalents. A system with an Intel Core Ultra 5 135H and a Radeon RX 7600, for example, would likely produce frame rates within a few percent of the tested combo across all resolutions and settings.

Best Settings per Resolution

At 1920x1080, the best settings are Ultra, with a recorded average of 67.8 FPS. This is the most demanding preset available, and it stays 7.8 FPS above the 60 FPS threshold. Users who want maximum visual quality at 1080p can enable Ultra without concern, based on the average FPS data.

At 2560x1440, the best settings are High, with a recorded average of 64.1 FPS. This is the highest preset that remains at or above 60 FPS at this resolution. The margin above the threshold is 4.1 FPS, which is thinner than at 1080p Ultra, so users who experience frame drops in specific scenes may prefer Medium at 78.7 FPS for additional headroom.

At 3840x2160, the best settings are Low, with a recorded average of 69 FPS. This is the only preset at 4K that clears the 60 FPS threshold. The margin is 9 FPS, which provides a moderate buffer, but the visual quality trade-off is substantial compared to the other presets available at this resolution. Users with 4K displays should be prepared for reduced detail levels if they want to maintain smooth gameplay with this hardware.
