Performance Analysis: Lockdown Protocol on Your System
The AMD Ryzen 9 5950X paired with the AMD Radeon RX 6600 XT is a capable 1080p and 1440p gaming combo for Lockdown Protocol, but it falls short of a smooth 60 FPS experience at 4K on higher presets. Benchmark data shows this combination ranks 2630th out of 3714 tested combos for this title, placing it in the lower third of all systems. The data indicates that the system delivers its best experience at 1920x1080, where it achieves 74 FPS on Ultra settings, while 2560x1440 users can enjoy High settings at 72 FPS. At 3840x2160, the system is limited to Low settings to maintain a playable 75 FPS average.
FAQ
Q: What is the best resolution and preset for this combo in Lockdown Protocol?
A: The best experience is at 1920x1080 with Ultra settings, where the system achieves an average of 74 FPS. This is the highest preset that clears the 60 FPS playable threshold at 1080p.
Q: Can this PC run Lockdown Protocol at 1440p?
A: Yes. At 2560x1440, the system maintains 72 FPS on High settings, 83 FPS on Medium, and 117 FPS on Low. Ultra settings drop to 54 FPS, which is below the 60 FPS playable threshold.
Q: Is 4K gaming viable with this hardware?
A: Only at the lowest preset. At 3840x2160, Low settings produce 75 FPS, while Medium drops to 53 FPS and High falls to 47 FPS. Ultra is not playable at 35 FPS.
Q: How does the CPU compare to its nearest rivals?
A: The Ryzen 9 5950X has an average benchmark score of 51,947, which is effectively tied with the Intel Core Ultra 5 235HX (52,073, -0.2% delta), AMD EPYC 8124P (52,121, -0.3%), and Intel Core i9-13900F (51,730, +0.4%). It trails the Intel Core i7-14700 (52,301) by 0.7%.
Q: How does the GPU compare to its nearest rivals?
A: The RX 6600 XT has an average benchmark score of 24,442. It is 0.7% ahead of the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1630 (24,277), 0.8% ahead of the GTX 780 Ti (24,236), and 1.1% ahead of the RTX 2080 SUPER (24,170). It trails the Intel Arc A350M (24,647) by 0.8%.
Q: What is the overall performance percentile for each component?
A: The CPU ranks in the 91st percentile among all tested CPUs, indicating strong multi-threaded performance. The GPU ranks in the 70th percentile among all tested GPUs, showing it is above average but not a top-tier part.
How This Combo Ranks
The combo ranks 2630th out of 3714 tested combinations in Lockdown Protocol, placing it in the 29th percentile of all systems tested. This rank reflects a fundamental imbalance: the CPU is exceptionally strong (91st percentile), while the GPU is merely solid (70th percentile). The data shows that the RX 6600 XT becomes the limiting factor at higher resolutions and presets, preventing the system from achieving the high frame rates that the Ryzen 9 5950X could otherwise support.
The rank is driven primarily by the GPU's performance ceiling. At 1080p, the system performs admirably, with all presets exceeding 74 FPS. The jump to 1440p reveals the GPU's limitations, as Ultra settings fall to 54 FPS. At 4K, the situation worsens dramatically, with only Low settings maintaining playability. This pattern — excellent 1080p performance degrading sharply at higher resolutions — is typical of a mid-range GPU paired with a high-end CPU.
Compared to other combos, this system sits closer to the bottom than the top. The 3714 total combos include many with more balanced or higher-end GPU pairings. The 2630th rank suggests that while the system is fully capable of running the game at mainstream resolutions, it is not competitive with top-tier configurations that can handle 4K Ultra.
Best Settings per Resolution
At 1920x1080, the most demanding preset that stays at or above 60 FPS is Ultra, with an average of 74 FPS. This is the recommended configuration for full visual fidelity. Lower presets offer higher frame rates: High at 99 FPS, Medium at 113 FPS, and Low at 159 FPS.
At 2560x1440, the most demanding preset that stays at or above 60 FPS is High, with an average of 72 FPS. Medium delivers 83 FPS and Low delivers 117 FPS. Ultra falls below the threshold at 54 FPS and should be avoided.
At 3840x2160, the most demanding preset that stays at or above 60 FPS is Low, with an average of 75 FPS. Medium (53 FPS), High (47 FPS), and Ultra (35 FPS) all fail to reach the 60 FPS playable threshold. For 4K, users must accept Low settings or reduce resolution.
Similar Performance Alternatives
For the CPU, the Ryzen 9 5950X has near-identical average benchmark scores to several alternatives. The Intel Core Ultra 5 235HX (52,073, -0.2% delta) and AMD EPYC 8124P (52,121, -0.3%) are statistically indistinguishable in performance. The Intel Core i9-13900F (51,730) is 0.4% slower, while the Intel Core i7-14700 (52,301) is 0.7% faster. Any of these CPUs would deliver effectively the same frame rates in Lockdown Protocol when paired with the same GPU.
For the GPU, the RX 6600 XT's nearest rivals show very small performance deltas. The NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1630 (24,277) is 0.7% slower, the GTX 780 Ti (24,236) is 0.8% slower, and the RTX 2080 SUPER (24,170) is 1.1% slower. The Intel Arc A350M (24,647) is 0.8% faster. These differences are within noise margins, meaning a system with any of these GPUs would produce nearly identical FPS results in Lockdown Protocol at the same settings.
If a user were to swap the GPU for one of these alternatives, the playable settings at each resolution would remain unchanged. The CPU alternatives would also maintain the same performance profile, as the bottleneck remains the GPU at higher resolutions.
CPU and GPU Roles
The benchmark data reveals a clear division of labor between the CPU and GPU across resolutions. At 1920x1080, the system achieves 159 FPS on Low, 113 FPS on Medium, 99 FPS on High, and 74 FPS on Ultra. The scaling from Low to Ultra is a 53% reduction in frame rate, indicating that the GPU is heavily taxed by increased graphical load. The CPU, with its 91st percentile ranking, has ample headroom to feed the GPU at this resolution.
At 2560x1440, the frame rates drop to 117 FPS on Low, 83 FPS on Medium, 72 FPS on High, and 54 FPS on Ultra. The performance gap between Low and Ultra narrows to 54%, but the absolute numbers are lower. This suggests the GPU is becoming the primary constraint, as the CPU's performance does not scale with resolution.
At 3840x2160, the picture changes dramatically. Low settings yield 75 FPS, but Medium drops to 53 FPS (a 29% reduction), High to 47 FPS, and Ultra to 35 FPS. The severe drop-off from Low to Medium at 4K indicates that the GPU's memory bandwidth and compute resources are overwhelmed. The CPU's role diminishes further, as the GPU cannot process enough frames to utilize the CPU's full potential.
The data shows that the GPU is the limiting factor at all resolutions above 1080p Low. The CPU's 16 cores and 32 threads provide more than enough processing power for Lockdown Protocol, which does not appear to be a highly multi-threaded title based on the frame rates. The RX 6600 XT's 8 GB of VRAM and 256.0 GB/s bandwidth are the key bottlenecks at 1440p Ultra and 4K Medium and above.
The Verdict
This PC can run Lockdown Protocol, but the experience varies significantly by resolution. At 1920x1080, the system is fully capable, achieving 74 FPS on Ultra, 99 FPS on High, 113 FPS on Medium, and 159 FPS on Low. All presets clear the 60 FPS playable threshold, making 1080p the sweet spot for this combo.
At 2560x1440, the system remains playable on High (72 FPS), Medium (83 FPS), and Low (117 FPS). Ultra setting falls to 54 FPS, which fails the 60 FPS threshold. Users with 1440p monitors should stick to High settings for a smooth experience.
At 3840x2160, the system is only playable on Low settings, which produce 75 FPS. Medium (53 FPS), High (47 FPS), and Ultra (35 FPS) are all below the playable threshold. The data indicates that 4K gaming is not a practical option for this hardware beyond the lowest preset.
The verdict is clear: this is a 1080p Ultra and 1440p High machine for Lockdown Protocol. The CPU is more than sufficient, but the GPU limits performance at higher resolutions. Users seeking 4K playability would need a significantly more powerful graphics card, while those satisfied with 1080p or 1440p gaming will find this combo delivers smooth, playable frame rates across most settings.
