Performance Analysis: Lockdown Protocol on Your System
Lockdown Protocol is a 2024 first-person shooter, and the pairing of Intel's Core i5-12400 with NVIDIA's GeForce RTX 3050 4 GB lands in a specific, well-defined performance band for this title. The data shows a combo that comfortably clears the 60 FPS threshold at 1080p across three of four presets, scrapes past it at 1440p on Low, and falls short entirely at 4K. What follows is a resolution-by-resolution reading of the measured frame rates, how nearby hardware would behave, and which component is actually doing the heavy lifting at each step up in pixel count.
Measured FPS Breakdown
At 1920x1080, the results are straightforward: Low averages 112 FPS, Medium averages 80 FPS with a measured minimum of 68 and maximum of 92, High averages 70 FPS, and Ultra drops to 52 FPS. The Medium percentile data is particularly useful here — a floor of 68 FPS means even the worst measured moments stay above the 60 FPS playable line, so Medium is not a marginal pass but a stable one. High, at 70 FPS average, sits comfortably in playable territory even without minimum-frame telemetry. Ultra is the only 1080p preset that misses the cut, averaging 52 FPS.
At 2560x1440, every preset steps down a tier relative to 1080p. Low averages 82 FPS, Medium averages 59 FPS (minimum 50, maximum 67), High averages 51 FPS, and Ultra averages 38 FPS. The Medium result is the interesting one: a 59 FPS average is a single frame shy of the threshold, and its minimum of 50 confirms that dips below 60 are routine at that preset. Low is the only 1440p setting that genuinely clears the bar.
At 3840x2160, the RTX 3050's 4 GB frame buffer and 192.0 GB/s of memory bandwidth are the constraining factors. Low averages 53 FPS, Medium 38 FPS (minimum 32, maximum 43), High 33 FPS, and Ultra 25 FPS. No preset at 4K comes close to 60 FPS — the best average is 13 percent short even on the lowest preset. The gap between Low and Ultra at 4K spans 53 to 25 FPS, a wide spread that indicates heavy sensitivity to visual settings at this resolution.
Similar Performance Alternatives
On the CPU side, the Core i5-12400's average benchmark score of 18683 places it in the 72nd percentile of all tested CPUs, and its nearest rivals cluster almost perfectly around it. The AMD EPYC 7643 scores 18697 on average, just 0.1 percent higher; the Intel Core i7-1355U averages 18730, 0.3 percent higher; the AMD Ryzen AI 5 330 averages 18811, 0.7 percent higher; and the Intel Core i3-14100F averages 18519, 0.9 percent lower. Any of these processors would deliver effectively identical Lockdown Protocol results when paired with the same GPU — the deltas are all under one percent. For practical purposes, a system built around the i3-14100F or the mobile-class i7-1355U would behave the same as this combo in game, assuming the graphics card is unchanged.
The GPU side tells a different story about positioning. The RTX 3050 4 GB sits at exactly the 50th percentile of all tested GPUs — the median card in the database. It carries 2048 shading units, 64 TMUs, 32 ROPs, 16 RT cores, and 64 tensor cores on the GA107 chip, with 7.127 TFLOPS of FP32 throughput and a 90 W TDP. Because no nearest-rival list or benchmark scores are provided for this GPU, no specific alternative card can be cited from the data, but the 50th-percentile placement means half the tracked GPU population would be expected to run Lockdown Protocol faster and half slower. The GPU's production status is End-of-life, its launch MSRP was 199 USD, and the CPU's launch MSRP was $199 as well.
CPU and GPU Roles
The scaling pattern across resolutions makes the role split unambiguous. From 1080p to 1440p on Low, average FPS falls from 112 to 82; from 1440p to 4K on Low, it falls again from 82 to 53. On Medium, the progression is 80, 59, 38. This monotonic degradation with resolution — roughly a quarter to a third of the frame rate lost at each step — is the signature of a GPU-bound configuration. If the CPU were the limiting factor, raising the resolution would barely move average FPS; instead, the numbers drop steeply, confirming the RTX 3050's 4 GB GDDR6 buffer on its 128-bit bus as the ceiling.
The i5-12400 is not a bottleneck anywhere in this data. Its single-thread credentials are solid for the game's needs: a Cinebench R23 single-core score of 2257, a Geekbench single-core score of 1848, and a PassMark single-thread score of 3456. Multi-threaded capacity is also ample for an FPS title — 15989 in Cinebench R23 multi-core, 18747 in PassMark multithread, and a 3DMark max-threads score of 5890 across its 6 cores and 12 threads, boosting to 4.40 GHz from a 2.50 GHz base. The fact that 1080p High reaches 70 FPS while 4K High manages only 33 shows the CPU feeding frames fast enough that only the renderer slows down. The CPU matters least at 4K and matters most at 1080p Low, where the 112 FPS average presumably approaches the limits of what the platform can submit — yet even there, the data shows no hard CPU wall below the measured numbers.
How This Combo Ranks
Within the Lockdown Protocol results table, this pairing ranks 3269 out of 3714 tested combinations. That places it in the bottom portion of the field — roughly the 12th percentile from the top, or put differently, about 88 percent of tested combos outrank it. That ranking is consistent with the raw FPS data: a configuration that tops out at 70 FPS average (1080p High) and fails 4K entirely is not competing with high-end pairings. The ranking also matches the component percentiles: the CPU sits at the 72nd percentile while the GPU sits at the 50th, and the weaker of the two drags the combined standing down. In a competitive FPS context where high refresh rates matter, this combo's standing makes it a baseline entry rather than an enthusiast one.
The Verdict
Yes — this PC can run Lockdown Protocol, with clear qualifications by resolution. At 1920x1080, the verdict data lists High, Low, and Medium as playable settings, with High as the best playable preset at 70 FPS average. Ultra at 1080p is not playable at 52 FPS. At 2560x1440, only Low makes the playable list, delivering 82 FPS average. At 3840x2160, the playable settings list is empty and there is no best preset — every setting, including Low at 53 FPS average, falls short of 60. The practical summary: 1080p is a comfortable gaming resolution for this hardware, 1440p is a stretch that demands reduced settings, and 4K is out of reach entirely.
Best Settings per Resolution
- 1920x1080 — High preset, 70 FPS average. High is the most demanding preset that stays at or above 60 FPS at this resolution, edging out Medium (80 FPS) and Low (112 FPS) while leaving Ultra (52 FPS) below the line.
- 2560x1440 — Low preset, 82 FPS average. Medium's 59 FPS average misses the threshold by one frame, so Low is the ceiling for playable settings here; High (51 FPS) and Ultra (38 FPS) are both well under.
- 3840x2160 — No preset qualifies. The best available average is Low at 53 FPS, which does not reach 60. Dropping to 4K on this hardware is not a settings-tuning problem; it is a capability limit.
FAQ
Q: Can the RTX 3050 4 GB run Lockdown Protocol at 4K?
A: No. The highest average at 3840x2160 is 53 FPS on Low, and every preset including Low, Medium (38 FPS), High (33 FPS), and Ultra (25 FPS) falls short of the 60 FPS playable threshold.
Q: What is the best-looking setting combination for this PC?
A: 1920x1080 at the High preset, averaging 70 FPS. It is the most demanding preset that clears 60 FPS anywhere in the measured data.
Q: Does the Core i5-12400 limit performance in this game?
A: The data indicates no. Frame rates scale down sharply with resolution — 112 to 82 to 53 FPS on Low going from 1080p to 4K — which is characteristic of a GPU-bound system, meaning the CPU (Cinebench R23 multi-core 15989, single-core 2257) has headroom to spare.
Q: How close is 1440p Medium to being playable?
A: Very close but not there: it averages 59 FPS against the 60 FPS threshold, with a measured minimum of 50 and maximum of 67, so dips below 60 are frequent.
Q: Which CPUs would give the same Lockdown Protocol performance as the i5-12400?
A: Based on average benchmark scores, the AMD EPYC 7643 (+0.1%), Intel Core i7-1355U (+0.3%), AMD Ryzen AI 5 330 (+0.7%), and Intel Core i3-14100F (-0.9%) are all within one percent of the i5-12400's 18683 average.
Q: Where does this combo rank among tested Lockdown Protocol configurations?
A: It ranks 3269 out of 3714 tested combinations, placing it in the lower portion of the results table, consistent with the GPU's median (50th percentile) standing among all tracked graphics cards.
