Lockdown Protocol

The pairing of Intel's Core i5-13400F with the Arc B580 lands in a specific, measurable spot for Lockdown Protocol, a 2024 FPS title. The data shows a combo that clears the 60 FPS playability threshold at every resolution — provided settings are chosen sensibly — and ranks in the upper portion of all tested hardware configurations for this game. What follows is a step-by-step walk through the benchmark numbers, what they mean in context, and where this combo sits against alternative hardware.

How This Combo Ranks

Across 3714 tested CPU/GPU combinations in Lockdown Protocol, the Core i5-13400F + Arc B580 pairing ranks 2790. That placement puts it below the median configuration — a majority of tested combos outrank it — but the gap between rank and reality matters here, because the ranking pool includes far stronger hardware while the measured frame rates themselves remain comfortably playable.

Context from each component's broader standing helps explain the rank. The i5-13400F sits in the 77th percentile versus all CPUs in the database, with an average benchmark score of 25292, and the Arc B580 sits in the 68th percentile versus all GPUs with an average score of 23021. Both are solidly upper-middle-tier parts, and that positioning carries directly into the game results: not chart-topping, but consistently above the 60 FPS threshold at 1080p and 1440p.

It's also notably the ranking counts combos that deliver much higher frame rates than most players need for an FPS title. Ranking 2790th out of 3714 combos coexists with a 153.5 FPS average at 1080p Low — a figure that is more than double the playable threshold.

FAQ

Q: Can the i5-13400F + Arc B580 run Lockdown Protocol at 1080p on max settings?

A: Yes. At 1920x1080 Ultra, the combo averages 72.5 FPS, clearing the 60 FPS playable threshold with room to spare.

Q: Can this combo handle 4K?

A: Only on reduced settings. At 3840x2160, only the Low preset stays at or above 60 FPS, averaging 73.9 FPS. Medium averages 51.3, High 47.1, and Ultra 35.3 — all below the threshold.

Q: What is the best overall resolution/settings combination for 60+ FPS?

A: By frame rate alone, 1080p Low is the fastest at 153.5 FPS. The best balance of image quality and playability is 1440p High at 69 FPS, or 1080p Ultra at 72.5 FPS for maximum visual fidelity.

Q: How does the CPU compare to its nearest rivals?

A: The i5-13400F's average score of 25292 is statistically tied with the AMD Ryzen 9 6900HS (25284, deltaPct 0), marginally ahead of the Intel Core 5 120 (25362, -0.3) and Ryzen 5 5600X3D (25365, -0.3), and just behind the Ryzen 7 6800H (25201, 0.4) — differences under one percent across the board.

Q: How does the Arc B580 compare to its nearest rivals?

A: With an average score of 23021, the B580 is essentially even with the Radeon RX 580 2048SP (23061, -0.2), the GeForce RTX 2080 (22895, 0.6), the GeForce RTX 3080 (23172, -0.7), and the P106-100 (23249, -1).

Q: Is this measured data?

A: Yes. The FPS figures on this page come from measured benchmark runs, not estimated or modeled performance.

Similar Performance Alternatives

Looking for hardware that would behave similarly in Lockdown Protocol, the nearest-rival data points to several swaps with negligible expected difference.

On the CPU side, the i5-13400F's score of 25292 is within a fraction of a percent of four chips: the AMD Ryzen 9 6900HS at 25284, the Intel Core 5 120 at 25362, the AMD Ryzen 5 5600X3D at 25365, and the AMD Ryzen 7 6800H at 25201. Any of these processors, paired with comparable graphics, should produce frame rates within the noise margin of the numbers recorded here. The i5-13400F's own credentials — 10 cores, 16 threads, a 4.60 GHz boost clock, and 20 MB of shared L3 cache on the Raptor Lake architecture — put it in mainstream-desktop territory, and the rival list confirms that its aggregate performance overlaps with both mobile and desktop parts from AMD and Intel.

On the GPU side, the Arc B580's score of 23021 places it alongside the Radeon RX 580 2048SP, the GeForce RTX 2080, the GeForce RTX 3080, and the P106-100, all within roughly one percent in aggregate score. Substituting any of these cards for the B580 should yield broadly similar Lockdown Protocol behavior, though the B580's 12 GB of GDDR6 across a 192-bit bus with 456 GB/s of bandwidth gives it a modern memory configuration for its tier.

The Verdict

Yes — this PC can run Lockdown Protocol, with the qualification that 4K demands settings reductions.

At 1920x1080, every preset clears 60 FPS: Low at 153.5, Medium at 109.3, High at 92.9, and Ultra at 72.5. Full max settings are on the table at this resolution.

At 2560x1440, Low (111.3), Medium (82.3), and High (69) all clear the threshold; Ultra at 53.8 does not. High is the recommended ceiling here.

At 3840x2160, only Low clears, at 73.9 FPS. Medium (51.3), High (47.1), and Ultra (35.3) all fall short. 4K is viable but visually compromised.

In short: a comfortable 1080p and 1440p machine for this game, and a marginal 4K one.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The measured data covers three resolutions and four presets, with average frame rates as follows.

1920x1080:

• Low — 153.5 FPS average
• Medium — 109.3 FPS average
• High — 92.9 FPS average
• Ultra — 72.5 FPS average

2560x1440:

• Low — 111.3 FPS average
• Medium — 82.3 FPS average
• High — 69 FPS average
• Ultra — 53.8 FPS average

3840x2160:

• Low — 73.9 FPS average
• Medium — 51.3 FPS average
• High — 47.1 FPS average
• Ultra — 35.3 FPS average

The progression is instructive. From 1080p to 1440p, frame rates drop by roughly 25 to 30 percent at every preset — 72.5 becomes 53.8 at Ultra, 153.5 becomes 111.3 at Low. From 1440p to 4K, the drop is steeper in absolute terms at the low end: 111.3 falls to 73.9 at Low, and 53.8 falls to 35.3 at Ultra. Minimum and maximum frame rates were not captured for these runs, so the averages are the sole basis for the playability verdicts.

Best Settings per Resolution

Using the 60 FPS threshold, the most demanding preset that holds at each resolution:

• 1920x1080 — Ultra, 72.5 FPS average. The full preset ladder is playable; Ultra is the ceiling and it clears with over 12 FPS of headroom.
• 2560x1440 — High, 69 FPS average. Ultra misses the threshold at 53.8, so High is the correct ceiling, with a 9 FPS margin above 60.
• 3840x2160 — Low, 73.9 FPS average. The only preset that clears. Medium at 51.3 falls nearly 9 FPS short of the threshold.

Note the margin pattern: at 1080p and 4K the best playable settings clear 60 with more than 12 FPS of headroom, while at 1440p the High ceiling clears by a thinner 9 FPS. That suggests 1440p High is the setting closest to the edge for this hardware.

CPU and GPU Roles

The scaling data indicates that Lockdown Protocol is GPU-limited on this combo at every tested resolution.

The evidence is in the deltas. Moving from 1080p to 1440p — which quadruples nothing for the CPU but substantially increases the GPU's pixel workload — costs 27 to 32 percent of the frame rate at every preset. If the CPU were the bottleneck, higher resolutions would flatten out, since the processor's per-frame work is resolution-independent. Instead, frame rates fall in near-proportion to the added GPU load. The drop from 1440p to 4K reinforces the same conclusion: 69 FPS at High becomes 47.1, and 111.3 at Low becomes 73.9.

Preset scaling tells the same story. At 1080p, going from Ultra to Low more than doubles the frame rate (72.5 to 153.5), and that ratio holds at 1440p (53.8 to 111.3) and 4K (35.3 to 73.9). Visual settings overwhelmingly tax the GPU's rendering pipeline, so the large, consistent preset-driven gains point to graphics headroom being the limiting factor, not CPU throughput.

That's a favorable situation for the i5-13400F here. Its credentials — 10 cores, 16 threads, a 960 single-thread score, and a 11068 multicore Geekbench score placing it in the 77th percentile of all CPUs — are more than sufficient for this title, and the near-tie with rivals like the Ryzen 7 6800H and Ryzen 5 5600X3D suggests any of those chips would produce effectively identical results. The practical implication: players wanting higher frame rates at higher resolutions should look at the graphics card first, because the measured scaling shows the Arc B580 — in the 68th GPU percentile, with a PassMark G3D score of 15748 — is the component setting the performance ceiling in Lockdown Protocol.
