The overall combo rank reflects a balanced system. The CPU is a top-tier mobile part, and the GPU is a desktop-class high-end card. Together they produce frame rates that are playable at every resolution tested, which is not something every combo in the database can claim.

CPU and GPU Roles

Lockdown Protocol scales predictably with resolution, and the data shows which component carries the load at each step. At 1920x1080, the CPU has more room to drive frame rates, and the GPU is less stressed. The jump from Low to Ultra at 1080p moves from 239 FPS down to 111 FPS, a drop of 128 FPS, which is a 54% reduction in performance from the lowest to the highest preset. That is a large swing, and it indicates the settings menu has a strong impact on the GPU workload even at this resolution.

At 2560x1440, the pattern continues but the frame rates compress slightly. Low runs at 175 FPS, Ultra at 81 FPS. The delta is 94 FPS, a 54% reduction again. The consistency of this percentage across 1080p and 1440p suggests the game's graphics settings scale the GPU load in a uniform way, regardless of resolution. The CPU is still capable of feeding the GPU at these frame rates, as shown by the high Low preset numbers.

At 3840x2160, the GPU becomes the clear limiting factor. Low produces 113 FPS, Medium 80 FPS, High 70 FPS, and Ultra drops to 53 FPS. The gap between Low and Ultra here is 60 FPS, a 53% reduction, matching the pattern seen at lower resolutions. However, the absolute numbers are lower, which indicates the GPU is running out of headroom at 4K. The CPU, with its 16 cores and 32 threads, is not the constraint; the recorded data shows the same percentage scaling across resolutions, which points to a GPU-bound workload at higher settings.

The medium preset provides a useful middle data point. At 1080p Medium, the average is 170 FPS with a minimum of 144 and a maximum of 195. At 1440p Medium, the average is 124 FPS with a minimum of 106 and a maximum of 143. At 4K Medium, the average is 80 FPS with a minimum of 68 and a maximum of 92. The minimums at Medium stay well above the 60 FPS playable threshold at every resolution, which shows this preset is a reliable choice for smooth gameplay.

Best Settings per Resolution

The database records measured frame rates for four presets at three resolutions. The best settings are defined as the most demanding preset that stays at or above 60 FPS on average.

At 3840x2160, the High preset delivers an average of 70 FPS. Ultra drops to 53 FPS, which is below the playable threshold. Therefore, High is the best choice at 4K. The Medium preset averages 80 FPS and Low averages 113 FPS, both playable, but High offers the highest visual quality while staying above 60 FPS.

At 2560x1440, every preset clears the threshold. Low runs at 175 FPS, Medium at 124 FPS, High at 109 FPS, and Ultra at 81 FPS. The best settings are Ultra, since it is the most demanding preset and still averages 81 FPS. This gives the player maximum visual fidelity with a comfortable margin above the 60 FPS line.

At 1920x1080, the same situation applies. Low averages 239 FPS, Medium 170 FPS, High 148 FPS, and Ultra 111 FPS. Ultra is the best settings choice, averaging 111 FPS. This is a strong result for a competitive FPS, as even the highest preset leaves enough frame rate headroom for fast motion and responsive aiming.
