Performance Analysis: Lockdown Protocol on Your System
The AMD Ryzen AI Max+ 395 and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5050 combination ranks 2976th out of 3714 tested combos in Lockdown Protocol. This places it in the lower half of the database, meaning a significant portion of tested hardware pairings deliver higher frame rates in this title. While the percentile rankings of the individual components are respectable, the CPU at the 95th percentile and the GPU at the 66th percentile, the combined result in this specific game shows that the pairing is not optimized for high-refresh-rate play at the most demanding settings.
How This Combo Ranks
The recorded data places this combo at rank 2976 out of 3714 total combinations tested for Lockdown Protocol. This is a low position, indicating that roughly 80% of other tested combinations achieve higher average frame rates in this game. The CPU is a strong performer, scoring in the 95th percentile against all CPUs, but this does not translate into a top-tier gaming result when paired with this GPU.
The GPU's own standing is more modest. Its average benchmark score places it in the 66th percentile against all GPUs, and its nearest rivals show a tight cluster of performance. The AMD Radeon RX Vega M GL is 0.6% behind, the AMD Radeon HD 8970M is 1% behind, the AMD Radeon RX 5600 XT is 1.6% ahead, and the NVIDIA RTX A4000 Mobile is 1.6% ahead. These deltas are all within a narrow band, suggesting the RTX 5050 sits in a competitive but not dominant segment. The bottleneck in this combo is clearly the graphics card, as the CPU has ample headroom based on its benchmark scores.
CPU and GPU Roles
The frame rate scaling across resolutions and presets shows a system that is heavily GPU-bound. At 1920x1080 with Low settings, the combo produces 139 FPS. Moving to 2560x1440 Low drops this to 102 FPS, and at 3840x2160 Low it falls to 66 FPS. This consistent drop with increasing resolution is a classic sign that the GPU is the limiting factor. The CPU, with 16 cores and 32 threads, has far more processing power than a typical FPS title requires, so its role is to feed the GPU without becoming a constraint.
The impact of the GPU is even clearer when looking at settings scaling. At 1920x1080, the jump from Low to Ultra costs 75 FPS, dropping from 139 to 64. At 2560x1440, the same jump from Low to Ultra costs 55 FPS, dropping from 102 to 47. At 3840x2160, the drop from Low to Ultra is 35 FPS, going from 66 to 31. The diminishing absolute cost at higher resolutions indicates that the GPU is already saturated and cannot maintain high frame rates regardless of the settings reduction. The CPU is not the limiting factor here; the data shows that even at the lowest settings and lowest resolution, the frame rate is not constrained by processor performance but by the graphics card's rendering throughput.
Best Settings per Resolution
For a 60 FPS target, the most demanding preset that stays at or above that threshold varies by resolution.
At 3840x2160, only Low settings clear the 60 FPS bar. The average frame rate at Low is 66 FPS. Medium drops to 47 FPS, High to 41 FPS, and Ultra to 31 FPS, so none of these are viable for smooth play.
At 2560x1440, High settings are the most demanding playable option, producing an average of 63 FPS. Medium runs at 72 FPS, and Low at 102 FPS. Ultra falls below the threshold at 47 FPS.
At 1920x1080, Ultra settings are playable with an average of 64 FPS. High runs at 86 FPS, Medium at 98 FPS, and Low at 139 FPS. This is the only resolution where the full visual quality preset is viable.
FAQ
Q: Can this PC run Lockdown Protocol at 4K with high settings?
A: No. At 3840x2160 with High settings, the average frame rate is 41 FPS, which is below the 60 FPS playable threshold. Only Low settings at this resolution reach 66 FPS.
Q: What is the best preset for 1440p gaming?
A: The best preset for 2560x1440 is High, which delivers an average of 63 FPS. This is the most demanding setting that still clears the 60 FPS threshold, as Ultra drops to 47 FPS.
Q: How does the RTX 5050 compare to its closest rivals?
A: The RTX 5050 has an average benchmark score that is 1.6% lower than the AMD Radeon RX 5600 XT and 1.6% lower than the NVIDIA RTX A4000 Mobile. It is 0.6% higher than the AMD Radeon RX Vega M GL and 1% higher than the AMD Radeon HD 8970M.
Q: Is the Ryzen AI Max+ 395 holding back the RTX 5050?
A: No, the data does not indicate a CPU bottleneck. The CPU scores in the 95th percentile and its nearest rival, the Intel Core i9-14900K, has an average score that is 1.7% higher. The frame rate scaling between resolutions and presets points to the GPU as the limiting component.
Q: What frame rate can I expect at 1080p with Medium settings?
A: At 1920x1080 with Medium settings, the average frame rate is 98 FPS, with a minimum of 84 FPS and a maximum of 113 FPS. This is well above the 60 FPS threshold.
Q: What is the minimum frame rate at 1440p Medium?
A: At 2560x1440 with Medium settings, the minimum recorded frame rate is 61 FPS, with an average of 72 FPS and a maximum of 83 FPS. This stays above the 60 FPS threshold.
Measured FPS Breakdown
At 1920x1080, the combo delivers its strongest results. Low settings produce an average of 139 FPS. Medium settings average 98 FPS, with a recorded minimum of 84 FPS and a maximum of 113 FPS. High settings average 86 FPS. Ultra settings average 64 FPS. All presets at this resolution exceed the 60 FPS playable threshold.
At 2560x1440, performance drops but remains playable at three of the four presets. Low settings average 102 FPS. Medium settings average 72 FPS, with a minimum of 61 FPS and a maximum of 83 FPS. High settings average 63 FPS. Ultra settings fall to an average of 47 FPS, which is below the playable threshold.
At 3840x2160, only Low settings remain viable. Low settings average 66 FPS. Medium settings average 47 FPS, with a minimum of 40 FPS and a maximum of 54 FPS. High settings average 41 FPS. Ultra settings average 31 FPS. The steep drop from Low to Medium at this resolution shows the GPU struggling with the increased rendering load.
The Verdict
This PC can run Lockdown Protocol, but the experience depends heavily on the chosen resolution and settings. At 1920x1080, every preset from Low to Ultra clears the 60 FPS threshold, with Ultra averaging 64 FPS. This is the resolution where the combo is fully viable for high-quality play. At 2560x1440, High settings are the best option, averaging 63 FPS, with Medium and Low also playable. At 3840x2160, only Low settings reach the playable threshold, averaging 66 FPS. The GPU is the limiting factor, particularly at higher resolutions, and users targeting 4K will need to accept significant visual compromises to maintain smooth frame rates. The CPU is not a constraint in this pairing, and the overall ranking of 2976 out of 3714 reflects a system that is adequate for 1080p and 1440p gaming but not suited for high-refresh or high-resolution play.
