Performance Analysis: Lockdown Protocol on Your System
The AMD Ryzen 9 9900X3D paired with the Intel Arc B580 delivers a strong 1080p and 1440p experience in Lockdown Protocol, but the data shows that 4K gaming requires significant compromises. This combination ranks in the 75th percentile of tested hardware configurations, with measured frame rates that vary dramatically across resolutions and quality presets.
Best Settings per Resolution
The most demanding preset that maintains an average of 60 FPS or higher at each resolution is determined by the measured average FPS data.
At 3840x2160, the only preset that clears the 60 FPS threshold is Low, which produces an average of 73 FPS. The Medium preset falls short at 52 FPS average, making Low the sole playable option at this resolution.
At 2560x1440, the High preset achieves an average of 70 FPS, which is the most demanding setting that stays above 60 FPS. The Ultra preset drops to 52 FPS average, while Medium runs at 80 FPS and Low at 113 FPS.
At 1920x1080, the Ultra preset delivers an average of 72 FPS, making it the highest quality setting that remains playable. The High preset runs at 95 FPS, Medium at 109 FPS, and Low at 154 FPS.
FAQ
Q: Can this PC run Lockdown Protocol at 4K with high settings?
A: No. At 3840x2160, the High preset produces an average of 45 FPS, which is well below the 60 FPS playable threshold. Only the Low preset at this resolution achieves 73 FPS average and is considered playable.
Q: What is the best quality setting at 1440p?
A: The High preset at 2560x1440 delivers 70 FPS average and is the most demanding setting that maintains 60 FPS or higher. Ultra at this resolution drops to 52 FPS average, which is not playable.
Q: How does the Ultra preset perform at 1080p?
A: The Ultra preset at 1920x1080 runs at 72 FPS average, which clears the 60 FPS threshold. This is the only resolution where Ultra settings are playable, since both 1440p and 4K Ultra presets fall below 60 FPS.
Q: What are the minimum FPS numbers for Medium settings?
A: The measured data includes minimum FPS for Medium settings only. At 3840x2160, the minimum is 44 FPS with a maximum of 59 FPS. At 2560x1440, the minimum is 68 FPS and maximum is 92 FPS. At 1920x1080, the minimum is 93 FPS and maximum is 126 FPS.
Q: Is the Ultra preset playable at any resolution?
A: Yes, but only at 1920x1080 where it achieves 72 FPS average. At 2560x1440, Ultra runs at 52 FPS average, and at 3840x2160, it drops to 34 FPS average.
Q: How many settings presets are playable at 1440p?
A: Three of the four presets at 2560x1440 are playable: Low at 113 FPS, Medium at 80 FPS, and High at 70 FPS. Only Ultra at 52 FPS average falls below the 60 FPS threshold.
Measured FPS Breakdown
At 3840x2160, the performance spread across presets is substantial. The Low preset delivers 73 FPS average, which is the only playable option at this resolution. Medium produces 52 FPS average with a minimum of 44 FPS and maximum of 59 FPS, showing notable frame pacing concerns. High drops to 45 FPS average, while Ultra bottoms out at 34 FPS average.
At 2560x1440, the frame rates improve considerably. Low runs at 113 FPS average, Medium at 80 FPS with a minimum of 68 FPS and maximum of 92 FPS, and High at 70 FPS average. Ultra remains below the playable threshold at 52 FPS average.
At 1920x1080, all four presets exceed 60 FPS. Low leads with 154 FPS average, followed by Medium at 109 FPS with a minimum of 93 FPS and maximum of 126 FPS. High runs at 95 FPS average, and Ultra achieves 72 FPS average.
The frame time consistency, indicated by minimum FPS data, shows that Medium settings produce the narrowest ranges relative to their averages. At 1080p Medium, the minimum of 93 FPS represents a drop of roughly 15% from the 109 FPS average. At 1440p Medium, the minimum of 68 FPS is 15% below the 80 FPS average. At 4K Medium, the minimum of 44 FPS is 15% below the 52 FPS average.
The Verdict
This PC can run Lockdown Protocol, but the playable envelope is clearly defined by resolution. At 1920x1080, every preset including Ultra clears the 60 FPS threshold, with Ultra delivering 72 FPS average. At 2560x1440, three presets are playable up to High at 70 FPS average, but Ultra fails at 52 FPS. At 3840x2160, only Low is playable at 73 FPS average, while Medium, High, and Ultra all fall short of 60 FPS.
The data indicates that 1080p is the sweet spot for this combination, offering headroom across all settings. At 1440p, users should stick with High or lower presets for smooth gameplay. At 4K, the hardware is constrained to Low settings, which still delivers a playable 73 FPS average but sacrifices visual fidelity significantly.
Similar Performance Alternatives
The CPU benchmarks place the AMD Ryzen 9 9900X3D near several Intel alternatives. The Intel Core Ultra 5 245KF scores 0.6% lower on average, making it statistically equivalent in CPU-bound scenarios. The Intel Core Ultra 5 245K trails by 1.3%, while the Intel Xeon 6505P is 2% behind. The Intel Core i7-14700F shows a 2.1% deficit, meaning any of these processors would produce nearly identical frame rates in Lockdown Protocol when paired with the same GPU.
On the GPU side, the Intel Arc B580's average benchmark score sits close to several rivals. The AMD Radeon RX 580 2048SP scores 0.2% lower, while the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2080 is 0.6% ahead. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 trails by 0.7%, and the NVIDIA P106-100 is 1% behind. These delta percentages indicate that swapping the Arc B580 for any of these GPUs would shift measured FPS by less than 1% in most cases, keeping the same playable settings per resolution.
For users seeking similar performance, the combination of the Ryzen 9 9900X3D with an RTX 3080 would behave nearly identically, as would pairing it with the Core Ultra 5 245KF and an RX 580 2048SP. The benchmark deltas are small enough that the verdict per resolution would not change.
How This Combo Ranks
This specific CPU-GPU pairing ranks 2795 out of 3714 tested combinations in Lockdown Protocol, placing it in the 75th percentile of all tested hardware configurations. That ranking reflects the balance between the high-end Ryzen 9 9900X3D processor and the mid-range Arc B580 graphics card.
The CPU itself sits in the 91st percentile among all tested CPUs, with an average benchmark score of 54762. The GPU ranks in the 68th percentile among all tested GPUs, with an average score of 23021. The combination's in-game ranking of 2795 suggests that the GPU is the limiting factor for higher resolutions, while the CPU provides ample headroom for lower-resolution high-refresh-rate gaming.
Given the 3714 total tested combinations, a rank of 2795 means roughly 919 configurations perform worse in this game. The data shows that this combo exceeds the playable threshold at 1080p for all presets and at 1440p for three of four presets, which aligns with its percentile positioning. At 4K, the single playable preset at Low settings is consistent with a combo ranked in the lower quarter of tested hardware.
