Performance Analysis: Lockdown Protocol on Your System
The Intel Core i5-12400 paired with the AMD Radeon RX 6650 XT delivers a solid 1080p and 1440p gaming experience in Lockdown Protocol, with 4K requiring significant settings compromises. Benchmark data shows this combo achieves a playable 60 FPS threshold at all tested resolutions, but only at specific quality presets. The system ranks in the 65th percentile overall for this title, placing it in the upper tier of tested configurations, though the data indicates clear performance boundaries at higher resolutions.
Measured FPS Breakdown
At 1920x1080, the combo delivers its strongest performance. With Low settings, the average FPS reaches 165, providing a high-refresh-rate experience. Moving to Medium settings, the average drops to 117 FPS, with a minimum of 100 FPS and a maximum of 135 FPS, indicating consistent frame pacing. High settings produce an average of 103 FPS, while Ultra settings still maintain a comfortable 77 FPS average. All 1080p presets comfortably exceed the 60 FPS playable threshold, with even the most demanding Ultra preset leaving a 17 FPS margin above the minimum requirement.
At 2560x1440, performance scales predictably but with more variation across presets. Low settings achieve an average of 121 FPS, which is a 26.7% reduction compared to the same preset at 1080p. Medium settings average 86 FPS, with a minimum of 73 FPS and a maximum of 99 FPS, keeping frame times stable. High settings produce a 75 FPS average, still above the 60 FPS threshold. Ultra settings, however, fall below the playable threshold with a 56 FPS average, marking the first preset in the testing matrix that fails to maintain smooth gameplay.
At 3840x2160, the performance ceiling becomes apparent. Low settings achieve a 78 FPS average, which remains playable. Medium settings drop to a 56 FPS average, with a minimum of 47 FPS and a maximum of 64 FPS, indicating frame drops that would be noticeable during intense scenes. High settings fall further to a 49 FPS average, and Ultra settings bottom out at 36 FPS. The data shows a clear 4K limitation: only the Low preset stays above the 60 FPS threshold, and even that preset has only an 18 FPS margin above the minimum.
How This Combo Ranks
The combo ranks 2439th out of 3714 tested combinations in Lockdown Protocol, placing it in the 65th percentile of all tested systems. This position indicates that while the i5-12400 and RX 6650 XT are not top-tier hardware, they perform above the median for this specific game. The ranking reflects the balance between the CPU's strong single-thread performance and the GPU's mid-range rasterization capabilities.
The percentile ranking of 72 for the CPU against all tested processors suggests the i5-12400 is handling its workload adequately, while the GPU's 65th percentile ranking against all tested graphics cards indicates the RX 6650 XT is the more likely bottleneck in demanding scenarios. The 4K Ultra result of 36 FPS aligns with this assessment, as the GPU's 8 GB memory buffer and 128-bit bus become limiting factors at higher resolutions.
CPU and GPU Roles
The scaling between resolutions reveals the GPU's dominant role in this game. From 1080p Low to 1440p Low, the average FPS drops from 165 to 121, a 26.7% reduction. From 1440p Low to 4K Low, the average drops from 121 to 78, a further 35.5% reduction. This consistent degradation pattern across resolution increases—while keeping the same preset—indicates that the RX 6650 XT is the primary performance limiter. The CPU's 6 cores and 12 threads, with a boost clock of 4.40 GHz, appear sufficient to feed the GPU at lower resolutions.
The preset scaling at 1080p further illustrates this dynamic. Moving from Low to Medium reduces the average from 165 to 117 FPS, a 29.1% drop. From Medium to High, the average falls to 103 FPS, an 11.9% reduction. From High to Ultra, the average drops to 77 FPS, a 25.2% decrease. The non-linear pattern suggests that at lower presets, the CPU can keep up with the GPU's frame output, but at Ultra settings, the GPU's shading units and memory bandwidth become saturated. At 4K, the gap between Low (78 FPS) and Medium (56 FPS) is a 28.2% drop, reinforcing that the GPU is the binding constraint at higher resolutions.
Similar Performance Alternatives
The CPU's nearest rivals, based on average benchmark scores, include the AMD EPYC 7643, which scores 0.1% lower, and the Intel Core i7-1355U, which scores 0.3% lower. The AMD Ryzen AI 5 330 scores 0.7% lower, while the Intel Core i3-14100F scores 0.9% higher. These deltas are minimal, indicating that swapping the i5-12400 for any of these processors would produce nearly identical frame rates in Lockdown Protocol, assuming the GPU remains constant.
For the GPU, the nearest rivals are the NVIDIA Tesla K40m, which scores 0.6% lower, and the AMD FirePro D300, which scores 0.7% higher. The AMD FirePro W7000 scores 0.7% lower, while the NVIDIA Quadro K5200 scores 0.8% higher. These benchmark deltas suggest that these professional-grade cards would deliver comparable performance to the RX 6650 XT in this game, though their driver optimization for gaming may differ. The tight clustering of scores—all within 1% of each other—means that any of these alternatives would produce near-identical FPS results in the measured scenarios.
Best Settings per Resolution
At 1920x1080, the most demanding preset that stays at or above 60 FPS is Ultra, which delivers a 77 FPS average. This is the recommended setting for 1080p users, as it provides the highest visual fidelity while maintaining a 17 FPS buffer above the playable threshold. The data shows no need to compromise at this resolution.
At 2560x1440, the best playable setting is High, which achieves a 75 FPS average. Ultra settings fall to 56 FPS, which is below the 60 FPS threshold, so High represents the optimal balance between visual quality and performance. Medium settings also work at 86 FPS, but High offers better image quality without sacrificing smoothness.
At 3840x2160, the only playable setting is Low, which delivers a 78 FPS average. Medium settings drop to 56 FPS, which fails the 60 FPS requirement. Users targeting 4K must accept Low settings to maintain smooth gameplay, or they may consider reducing the resolution to 1440p for higher quality presets.
The Verdict
This PC can run Lockdown Protocol, but the experience varies significantly by resolution. At 1920x1080, all four presets—Low, Medium, High, and Ultra—clear the 60 FPS threshold, with the Ultra preset providing a 77 FPS average. At 2560x1440, three presets are playable: Low (121 FPS), Medium (86 FPS), and High (75 FPS), while Ultra falls short at 56 FPS. At 3840x2160, only the Low preset achieves playable performance at 78 FPS, with Medium (56 FPS), High (49 FPS), and Ultra (36 FPS) all failing the 60 FPS requirement.
The data indicates that this combo is best suited for 1080p gaming, where it can run the game at maximum settings with headroom. For 1440p, users should stick to High settings for the best experience. At 4K, the system is only viable with Low settings, which undermines the visual benefits of the higher resolution. The verdict is clear: this is a capable 1080p and 1440p machine, but not a 4K gaming setup for this title.
