Lockdown Protocol

Measured FPS Breakdown

The recorded data for Lockdown Protocol with the AMD Ryzen 7 5800XT and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 shows a clear performance hierarchy across resolutions and presets. At 1920x1080, the combination delivers strong results across all four settings levels. Low settings produce an average of 145 FPS, Medium averages 103 FPS with a minimum of 88 and maximum of 119, High averages 90 FPS, and Ultra averages 67 FPS. The gap between Low and Ultra at this resolution is 78 FPS, indicating that the preset scaling is substantial but the hardware has enough headroom to remain fluid even at the highest quality tier.

Moving to 2560x1440, the averages drop noticeably but remain respectable. Low settings deliver 106 FPS on average, Medium follows at 76 FPS with a recorded range of 64 to 87 FPS, and High sits at 66 FPS. Ultra falls to 49 FPS, which is below the 60 FPS playability threshold used in the database. The transition from 1080p to 1440p costs roughly 27 percent of the average frame rate at Low settings, while at High settings the drop is about 27 percent as well, showing consistent scaling behavior.

At 3840x2160, the RTX 2060 begins to struggle with the more demanding presets. Low settings average 69 FPS, which is just above the playability line. Medium averages 49 FPS with a range of 41 to 56 FPS, High averages 43 FPS, and Ultra drops to 32 FPS. None of the higher presets at 4K reach the 60 FPS threshold. The spread from Low to Ultra at this resolution is 37 FPS, meaning the game's preset scaling becomes more punishing as pixel count rises. The minimum FPS data points available, such as the 41 FPS floor at 4K Medium and the 64 FPS floor at 1440p Medium, indicate that frame pacing remains stable even when average performance declines.

Best Settings per Resolution

The database identifies the most demanding preset that maintains an average of at least 60 FPS at each resolution. At 1920x1080, Ultra is the best playable setting, producing an average of 67 FPS. This is notable because Ultra at 1080p outperforms High at 1440p by a single frame per second, which suggests that the resolution increase has a heavier impact on this GPU than the preset increase does at lower pixel counts.

At 2560x1440, High is the best playable setting with an average of 66 FPS. Medium also clears the threshold at 76 FPS, but the database selects the most demanding preset that remains playable, which is High. The 10 FPS difference between Medium and High at this resolution is modest, so users prioritizing visual fidelity can step up without sacrificing smoothness.

At 3840x2160, only Low reaches the 60 FPS playability standard, averaging 69 FPS. Medium falls to 49 FPS, which is 11 frames short of the threshold. The verdict data confirms that 4K gaming with this combo is limited to the lowest preset. Across all three resolutions, the pattern is consistent: the combination can handle 1080p at maximum settings, 1440p at high settings, and 4K only at low settings.

CPU and GPU Roles

The benchmark results indicate that the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 is the dominant performance constraint in this pairing, particularly at higher resolutions. The GPU's average benchmark score of 15290 places it in the 58th percentile among all tested GPUs, while the CPU's average score of 29879 places it in the 81st percentile among all tested CPUs. This disparity suggests the processor has more headroom than the graphics card in most scenarios.

The scaling between resolutions supports this interpretation. At Low settings, the average frame rate drops from 145 FPS at 1080p to 106 FPS at 1440p and then to 69 FPS at 4K. That is a 52 percent reduction from 1080p to 4K. At High settings, the averages go from 90 FPS at 1080p to 66 FPS at 1440p and 43 FPS at 4K, a 52 percent reduction as well. The consistent proportional drops across settings indicate that the GPU is saturated by pixel throughput rather than being limited by CPU-side logic.

The preset scaling tells a similar story. At 1080p, moving from Low to Ultra reduces the average from 145 FPS to 67 FPS, a 54 percent decrease. At 1440p, the same preset change reduces the average from 106 FPS to 49 FPS, a 54 percent decrease. At 4K, Low to Ultra goes from 69 FPS to 32 FPS, a 54 percent decrease. The uniformity of these percentages across resolutions and presets suggests a GPU-bound workload where the CPU is not the limiting factor at any tested configuration. The Ryzen 7 5800XT's 8-core, 16-thread configuration with a 4.80 GHz boost clock provides ample compute for this FPS title, but the RTX 2060's 6 GB of GDDR6 memory and 336.0 GB/s bandwidth cap the overall output.

How This Combo Ranks

The combination of the AMD Ryzen 7 5800XT and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 ranks 2941 out of 3714 tested combos in Lockdown Protocol. That places it in the lower third of the database, which is consistent with the measured frame rates at 4K where only Low settings are playable. The rank reflects the GPU's position in the overall hardware landscape rather than the CPU's, since the processor is significantly stronger relative to its peers.

The GPU's 58th percentile standing among all GPUs is the primary driver of this ranking. While the CPU sits in the 81st percentile, the game's frame rates at 1440p and 4K are constrained by the graphics card. The rank of 2941 out of 3714 means roughly 79 percent of tested combinations deliver better performance in this specific title. Users considering this combo for Lockdown Protocol should focus on the GPU as the bottleneck, especially at higher resolutions where the measured averages drop below the 60 FPS threshold on all but the lowest preset at 4K.

In practical terms, these processors would deliver nearly identical CPU-bound performance in Lockdown Protocol, meaning any frame rate differences in this game would come from the GPU rather than the processor.

For the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060, the nearest rivals are the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 580, AMD Radeon 680M, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 OEM, and AMD Radeon RX 7600. The GTX 580 has an average score of 15283, essentially matching the RTX 2060's 15290 with a 0 percent delta. The Radeon 680M scores 15270, 0.1 percent behind. The RTX 3050 OEM scores 15199, 0.6 percent behind, and the Radeon RX 7600 scores 15171, 0.8 percent behind. Users with any of these GPUs paired with a similarly performing CPU would expect comparable frame rates in Lockdown Protocol, with the RTX 2060 sitting at the top of this narrow band.
