Lockdown Protocol

The AMD Ryzen 7 5800XT paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 delivers a highly capable Lockdown Protocol experience, with the data confirming that 1440p Ultra and 1080p Ultra are comfortably playable, while 4K requires a settings compromise to maintain fluidity. Benchmark results show the combo ranks 2009th out of 3714 tested configurations, placing it in the upper-middle tier of systems for this FPS title. The measured frames per second reveal a clear pattern: the RTX 4060’s 8 GB of GDDR6 memory and 272.0 GB/s bandwidth become the limiting factor at 4K, while the 5800XT’s 8-core, 16-thread Zen 3 architecture provides ample headroom at lower resolutions.

Similar Performance Alternatives

The nearest rivals for the AMD Ryzen 7 5800XT in synthetic benchmarks are all mobile or desktop chips with closely matched average scores. The AMD Ryzen 7 7840H posts an average score of 29868, a 0% delta from the 5800XT’s 29879 average, meaning these two processors would deliver nearly identical frame pacing in CPU-bound scenarios within Lockdown Protocol. The AMD Ryzen 7 8845HS and AMD Ryzen 7 7840HS both score 29955, which is 0.3% higher than the 5800XT, a negligible margin that would not translate into a perceptible FPS difference. The AMD Ryzen 5 9600X trails slightly with a score of 29713, a 0.6% deficit, again indicating equivalent gameplay performance for this title.

On the GPU side, the RTX 4060’s nearest rivals are surprisingly older or integrated parts, reflecting the benchmark database’s scoring methodology rather than real-world gaming equivalence. The AMD Radeon HD 7790 scores 17666, a 0.2% difference from the RTX 4060’s 17639 average, yet this older card lacks the RTX 4060’s Ada Lovelace feature set, including DirectX 12 Ultimate and Vulkan 1.4 support. The AMD Radeon 780M integrated graphics score 17588, 0.3% lower, and the AMD Radeon Pro 560 and Pro 460 score 17551 and 17509 respectively, with deltas of 0.5% and 0.7%. For Lockdown Protocol specifically, these rivals would not match the RTX 4060’s 15.11 TFLOPS FP32 throughput or its 24 RT cores, so the comparison is primarily useful for understanding the GPU’s raw compute standing rather than predicting identical in-game results.

Best Settings per Resolution

At 3840x2160, the most demanding preset that maintains at least 60 FPS is Medium, which delivers an average of 63 FPS with a minimum of 54 and a maximum of 73. The data shows that High settings drop to 55 FPS average, missing the 60 FPS playable threshold, while Ultra falls further to 42 FPS. Low settings run at 89 FPS, but Medium is the optimal choice because it provides the highest visual quality while remaining above 60 FPS. The verdict data confirms Medium as the best 4K setting, with an average FPS of 63.

For 2560x1440, the RTX 4060 has enough headroom to run Ultra settings at 64 FPS average, which meets the playable threshold exactly. This makes Ultra the best 1440p setting, as it delivers the maximum visual fidelity without dropping below the 60 FPS target. High settings run at 86 FPS, Medium at 98 FPS, and Low at 138 FPS, but the 64 FPS Ultra result is the standout because it proves the combo can handle the highest preset at this resolution. The verdict data lists all four settings as playable, with Ultra selected as the best at 64 FPS.

At 1920x1080, the combo achieves 88 FPS on Ultra, which is the best setting by a wide margin. The data shows High at 117 FPS, Medium at 134 FPS, and Low at 189 FPS, but Ultra’s 88 FPS average is well above the 60 FPS threshold, making it the clear recommendation. The verdict data confirms Ultra as the best 1080p setting with 88 FPS, and the minimum FPS for Medium at 1080p is 114, suggesting that even the lowest frame dips remain smooth across all presets at this resolution.

CPU and GPU Roles

The scaling between resolutions and presets reveals that the RTX 4060 becomes the dominant bottleneck at 4K, while the Ryzen 7 5800XT provides consistent support at lower resolutions. At 3840x2160, the frame rate drops from 63 FPS on Medium to 55 FPS on High, a 12.7% reduction, and further to 42 FPS on Ultra, a 33.3% reduction from Medium. This steep decline indicates that the GPU’s 8 GB memory and 128-bit bus are saturated by the 4K pixel count, making the graphics card the primary constraint. The CPU’s 32 MB shared L3 cache and 16 threads are sufficient to feed the GPU at this resolution, as evidenced by the fact that Low settings reach 89 FPS, which is only limited by the GPU’s rendering speed rather than any CPU bottleneck.

At 2560x1440, the scaling pattern shifts, showing that the CPU begins to play a more balanced role. The jump from Low (138 FPS) to Medium (98 FPS) represents a 29% drop, and from Medium to High (86 FPS) another 12.2% drop, while Ultra (64 FPS) is a 25.6% reduction from High. These diminishing returns suggest that the GPU is still the primary limiter, but the CPU’s 3.80 GHz base and 4.80 GHz boost clocks are adequate to maintain frame rates above 60 FPS even at Ultra. The 5800XT’s passmark multithread score of 28053 and single-thread score of 3535 indicate strong per-core performance, which matters for a FPS title like Lockdown Protocol that relies on game logic and physics calculations.

At 1920x1080, the CPU and GPU roles reverse somewhat, with the CPU becoming more influential at lower settings. The data shows Low settings at 189 FPS, which is likely CPU-limited, as the RTX 4060 could theoretically render more frames if the CPU could issue draw calls faster. Medium drops to 134 FPS, a 29.1% reduction, and High to 117 FPS, a 12.7% reduction, while Ultra holds at 88 FPS. The 5800XT’s 3dmark single-thread score of 959 and 2-thread score of 1879 suggest that the processor can handle the single-threaded workload of Lockdown Protocol at high frame rates, but the GPU’s 3072 shading units and 48 ROPs are the limiting factor for Ultra settings at 1080p, where pixel fill rate becomes more demanding.
