Lockdown Protocol

Lockdown Protocol is a demanding modern FPS, and pairing it with the Intel Core i5-12600KF and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti SUPER produces one of the more comfortable configurations in the benchmark database. The data shows this combo clearing the 60 FPS playable threshold at every tested resolution and every preset, from 1920x1080 Low all the way to 3840x2160 Ultra. It ranks 376th out of 3714 tested combinations for this game, placing it in the upper tier of results.

FAQ

Q: Can the RTX 4070 Ti SUPER run Lockdown Protocol at 4K with Ultra settings?

A: Yes. At 3840x2160 Ultra the combo averages 70 FPS, which clears the 60 FPS playable threshold with room to spare.

Q: What is the average FPS at 1440p on High settings?

A: 142.8 FPS at 2560x1440 High. Dropping to Low pushes that to 222.9 FPS, while Ultra still delivers 103 FPS.

Q: How high does the frame rate go at 1080p?

A: At 1920x1080 Low, the configuration averages 309.8 FPS. Medium runs at 222.1 FPS, High at 188.5 FPS, and Ultra at 143.8 FPS.

Q: How does this CPU/GPU pairing rank against other tested combos in Lockdown Protocol?

A: It ranks 376 out of 3714 tested combinations, putting it well inside the top tenth of results for this game.

Q: Is the i5-12600KF a capable processor for this game?

A: The data indicates yes. It sits in the 79th percentile versus all CPUs in the database, with a Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 23391 and a single-core score of 3302.

Q: When did Lockdown Protocol and this hardware release?

A: The game released on March 11, 2024. The i5-12600KF launched on November 3, 2021 with a launch MSRP of $264, and the RTX 4070 Ti SUPER launched on January 23, 2024 with a launch MSRP of 799 USD.

CPU and GPU Roles

Lockdown Protocol behaves as a GPU-bound title on this configuration at higher resolutions, with the processor taking a secondary role. The scaling data makes this clear. Moving from 1920x1080 to 3840x2160 at Low settings drops the average from 309.8 FPS to 143.1 FPS — a fall of more than half — and at Ultra the drop runs from 143.8 FPS to 70 FPS. When the frame rate halves as the pixel count quadruples, the graphics card is the limiting factor.

At 1080p the picture shifts. The RTX 4070 Ti SUPER posts 309.8 FPS at Low, a frame rate territory where CPU throughput typically becomes the ceiling, and the i5-12600KF's single-thread performance becomes the relevant constraint. Its Passmark single-thread score of 3925 and Geekbench single-core score of 2157 place it comfortably in the 79th percentile of all CPUs, which is more than enough headroom for a game released in 2024.

The preset scaling reinforces the GPU-bound reading. At a fixed 2560x1440 resolution, going from Low to Ultra costs 119.9 FPS (222.9 down to 103), a settings-driven loss that tracks graphics load rather than processor load. Between resolutions, the compression is consistent across presets — roughly a 36 percent drop from 1080p to 1440p and a further 31-33 percent drop from 1440p to 4K at the High and Ultra tiers — which is the signature of a GPU working through a rising pixel load while the CPU idles well below its limit.

Measured FPS Breakdown

All figures below are measured averages from the database; minimum and maximum frame rates were not recorded for these runs.

At 1920x1080:

• Low: 309.8 FPS
• Medium: 222.1 FPS
• High: 188.5 FPS
• Ultra: 143.8 FPS

At 2560x1440:

• Low: 222.9 FPS
• Medium: 162.7 FPS
• High: 142.8 FPS
• Ultra: 103 FPS

At 3840x2160:

• Low: 143.1 FPS
• Medium: 106.3 FPS
• High: 91.8 FPS
• Ultra: 70 FPS

The numbers tell a consistent story. Every single data point sits above the 60 FPS playable threshold, including the worst case of 4K Ultra at 70 FPS. The gaps between presets narrow as resolution climbs: at 1080p, Low to Ultra spans 166 FPS, while at 4K that span compresses to 73.1 FPS. The High preset deserves particular attention for 4K players — at 91.8 FPS it offers a 21.8 FPS advantage over Ultra while sacrificing visual fidelity only modestly in most titles of this genre. Competitive players chasing refresh rates will find 1080p Medium at 222.1 FPS and 1080p Low at 309.8 FPS more than sufficient for high-refresh displays.

Similar Performance Alternatives

For the CPU, the i5-12600KF's nearest rivals in the database cluster within a fraction of a percent of its average benchmark score of 27799. The Intel Core i9-10900K sits at 27872 (a delta of -0.3 percent), the AMD Ryzen 5 8500GE at 27712 (0.3 percent), the AMD Ryzen 7 6800U at 27887 (-0.3 percent), and the AMD Ryzen 7 5800X3D at 27896 (-0.3 percent). Any of these processors would deliver effectively indistinguishable aggregate performance, and the Ryzen 7 5800X3D in particular is a well-known gaming part that would behave similarly in Lockdown Protocol given the GPU-bound nature of this title at higher resolutions.

On the graphics side, the RTX 4070 Ti SUPER's average benchmark score of 31087 is closely matched by the NVIDIA Quadro M5000 at 31206 (-0.4 percent), the NVIDIA GRID M60-1Q at 31220 (-0.4 percent), the NVIDIA RTX PRO 4500 Blackwell at 31532 (-1.4 percent), and the NVIDIA TITAN RTX at 31676 (-1.9 percent). The TITAN RTX comparison is notable: despite being an older professional-tier card, its aggregate score lands within 2 percent of the Ada Lovelace part. Players running any of these GPUs alongside a comparable CPU should expect frame rates in the same neighborhood as the measured results above, though the exact distribution across presets may vary with each card's architectural strengths.

How This Combo Ranks

The i5-12600KF plus RTX 4070 Ti SUPER combination ranks 376 out of 3714 tested configurations in Lockdown Protocol. That places it ahead of roughly 90 percent of the field — a strong showing that reflects the RTX 4070 Ti SUPER's 76th percentile standing among all GPUs and the CPU's 79th percentile standing among all processors. Neither component is the absolute flagship of its generation, but together they form a balanced pairing for a 2024-release FPS: the GPU's 44.10 TFLOPS of FP32 compute and 672.3 GB/s of memory bandwidth handle the rendering load, while the 10-core, 16-thread Alder Lake processor keeps frame delivery steady. The rank confirms that the measured frame rates are not a fluke of a lightly threaded engine — this configuration genuinely competes with far more expensive hardware in this specific title.

The Verdict

Yes — this PC runs Lockdown Protocol without compromise. The verdict data is unambiguous: every preset at every resolution clears the 60 FPS playable threshold.

At 1920x1080, all four presets are playable, with Ultra delivering 143.8 FPS as the best-settings result. At 2560x1440, all four presets again clear the bar, with Ultra at 103 FPS. Even at 3840x2160, the verdict lists High, Low, Medium, and Ultra all as playable, with Ultra averaging 70 FPS — a 10 FPS cushion over the threshold.

The practical recommendation follows directly from the numbers. 4K players can run Ultra outright, though High at 91.8 FPS offers a meaningful frame-rate gain. 1440p players get triple-digit frame rates at Ultra and over 220 FPS at Low. 1080p players with high-refresh monitors have headroom to spare at 309.8 FPS on Low. For a game released in March 2024, this configuration is comfortably ahead of the requirements curve, and the data shows no scenario in Lockdown Protocol where it fails to deliver a playable, high-frame-rate experience.
