Performance Analysis: Lockdown Protocol on Your System
Lockdown Protocol is a fast-paced FPS that demands a balanced system. The combination of an AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D and an AMD Radeon RX 6600 delivers playable frame rates at 1080p and 1440p, but struggles at 4K. Benchmark data shows the CPU is exceptionally strong, while the GPU is a mid-range part that becomes the limiting factor at higher resolutions. At 1080p, the combo reaches 146 FPS on Low and 68 FPS on Ultra, while at 1440p it manages 107 FPS on Low and 66 FPS on High. At 4K, only Low settings cross the 60 FPS threshold, with 69 FPS. The system ranks 2901st out of 3714 tested combos, indicating below-average performance relative to other configurations.
FAQ
Q: Can this PC run Lockdown Protocol at 60 FPS?
A: Yes, at 1080p and 1440p. At 1080p, all presets from Low to Ultra exceed 60 FPS, with Ultra averaging 68 FPS. At 1440p, High, Medium, and Low all stay above 60 FPS, with High at 66 FPS. At 4K, only Low settings reach 69 FPS.
Q: What is the best preset for 1080p?
A: Ultra settings deliver an average of 68 FPS, making it the highest preset that maintains 60+ FPS. Lower presets yield even higher frame rates, up to 146 FPS on Low.
Q: How does the CPU compare to the GPU in this combo?
A: The CPU's average benchmark score is 39768, placing it in the 87th percentile of all CPUs. The GPU's average score is 19036, in the 63rd percentile. The CPU is significantly stronger, which is why frame rates drop sharply as resolution increases—the GPU becomes the bottleneck.
Q: Are there any settings at 4K that are playable?
A: Only Low settings at 4K produce an average of 69 FPS. Medium drops to 49 FPS, High to 43 FPS, and Ultra to 32 FPS.
Q: What frame rates can be expected at 1440p on Medium?
A: Medium settings at 1440p average 76 FPS, with a minimum of 64 FPS and maximum of 87 FPS, based on measured data.
Q: How does this combo rank among all tested systems?
A: It ranks 2901st out of 3714 combos, meaning it outperforms only about 22% of tested configurations.
Similar Performance Alternatives
The CPU's average benchmark score of 39768 is nearly identical to that of the AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 8840HS (39603, +0.4%), AMD Ryzen AI 9 365 (40048, -0.7%), AMD Ryzen AI 7 450 (39485, +0.7%), and AMD Ryzen 7 7700 (40081, -0.8%). In practical terms, any of these CPUs would yield very similar frame rates in Lockdown Protocol, since the game is not heavily CPU-bound at typical settings.
For the GPU, the RX 6600's average score of 19036 is within 0.4% of the NVIDIA Quadro K6000 (19030), NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4050 Mobile (19049), NVIDIA Tesla K20m (19089), and NVIDIA RTX 2000 Ada Generation (18954). These GPUs would produce comparable FPS in this game. However, note that the RX 6600 is a desktop part, while some rivals are mobile or workstation cards, but the benchmark scores are what matter here.
The combo's overall performance is limited by the GPU, so swapping the CPU to one of its nearest rivals would have minimal impact on frame rates. Conversely, swapping the GPU to one of its nearest rivals would also keep performance essentially unchanged, as the deltaPct values are all under 1%. For users seeking a meaningful performance uplift, a more powerful GPU would be required, but within the tested range, these alternatives behave almost identically.
CPU and GPU Roles
The measured FPS scaling across resolutions and presets reveals a clear division of labor. At 1080p, the frame rate ranges from 146 FPS on Low to 68 FPS on Ultra. Moving to 1440p, the same presets yield 107, 76, 66, and 50 FPS respectively. At 4K, the numbers drop to 69, 49, 43, and 32 FPS. The percentage drop from 1080p to 1440p is roughly 27% for Low, 26% for Medium, 27% for High, and 26% for Ultra. From 1440p to 4K, the drop is consistently around 35% for all presets. This consistent ~35% reduction when doubling resolution indicates that the GPU is the primary bottleneck at higher resolutions.
The CPU, with its high benchmark scores—such as 23230 in Cinebench R23 multi-core and 2080 in single-core—has ample headroom to feed the GPU even at 1080p Low, where 146 FPS is achieved. This suggests that the game's logic and draw calls are not taxing the CPU significantly. The GPU's 8 GB of memory and 224.0 GB/s bandwidth are adequate for 1080p and 1440p, but at 4K the compute load and memory pressure become severe. The fact that 4K Low barely reaches 69 FPS while 4K Ultra drops to 32 FPS underscores the GPU's role as the limiting factor.
In contrast, the CPU's strong single-thread performance (3DMark single thread score 1212) helps maintain high frame rates in scenes that are CPU-bound, but Lockdown Protocol appears to be GPU-bound at all resolutions above 1080p. At 1080p, the CPU is capable of pushing far beyond the GPU's limits, as evidenced by the 146 FPS Low result. Therefore, for this game, the GPU dictates playability at higher resolutions, while the CPU ensures that even at 1080p Ultra the system does not suffer from CPU stalls.
The Verdict
Based on the measured FPS and the playable threshold of 60 FPS, this combo can run Lockdown Protocol at 1080p and 1440p with high settings. At 1080p, Ultra settings average 68 FPS, which clears the threshold. At 1440p, High settings average 66 FPS. At 4K, only Low settings reach 69 FPS; all other presets fall below 60 FPS. Therefore, the system is playable at 1080p and 1440p, but at 4K only on Low settings. The CPU is not the limiting factor; the GPU is. For users with a 4K display, the experience will be limited to Low presets, but at 1080p and 1440p, the system delivers smooth, playable performance across a range of visual quality settings.
How This Combo Ranks
The combo ranks 2901st out of 3714 tested combos. This places it in the lower 22% of all configurations. The high CPU performance is offset by the mid-range GPU, resulting in a system that is below average for this game. The rank suggests that most other tested combos achieve higher frame rates, likely due to more powerful GPUs. However, the system is still capable of running the game at 60+ FPS at 1080p and 1440p, so the rank does not reflect unplayability, just relative standing. The combination of a top-tier CPU with a budget GPU is an unusual pairing; the data indicates that the GPU is the primary determinant of frame rates in this title, and the CPU's strength does not compensate for the GPU's limitations at higher resolutions.
Best Settings per Resolution
- 3840x2160: Low settings, average 69 FPS. This is the only preset at 4K that stays above 60 FPS. Medium drops to 49 FPS, High to 43 FPS, and Ultra to 32 FPS.
- 2560x1440: High settings, average 66 FPS. High is the most demanding preset that remains at or above 60 FPS; Medium gives 76 FPS and Low 107 FPS. Ultra falls to 50 FPS.
- 1920x1080: Ultra settings, average 68 FPS. Ultra is the highest preset, and it still clears 60 FPS. Lower presets yield even higher frame rates, up to 146 FPS on Low. Medium averages 103 FPS, and High 90 FPS.
For the best visual quality while maintaining 60 FPS, players should select Ultra at 1080p, High at 1440p, and Low at 4K. The system has enough CPU headroom to handle any preset, but the GPU's performance ceiling determines the optimal settings at each resolution.
