Performance Analysis: Lockdown Protocol on Your System
FAQ
Q: Can the Intel Core i7-13700K and AMD Radeon RX 580 run Lockdown Protocol at 1080p?
A: Yes, at 1920x1080 the combo reaches 84.9 FPS average on Low settings, which clears the 60 FPS playable threshold. Medium settings at 1080p produce 58.9 FPS average, just below the threshold.
Q: What is the best playable preset at 2560x1440?
A: Low is the only playable setting at 1440p, with an average of 62.7 FPS. Medium drops to 46.4 FPS and High falls to 39.7 FPS, both below the 60 FPS threshold.
Q: Is this combination able to run Lockdown Protocol at 4K resolution?
A: No. At 3840x2160 the best recorded average is 42.8 FPS on Low settings. High, Medium, and Ultra all fall below 31 FPS. No 4K preset reaches the 60 FPS playable threshold.
Q: How does the RX 580's performance compare to its nearest rivals?
A: The RX 580's average benchmark score is 12928. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 Ti Mobile scores 12940, which is 0.1% faster. The NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1660 SUPER scores 12986, 0.4% faster. The AMD Radeon 740M sits 0.5% behind, and the AMD FirePro W5100 is 0.6% behind.
Q: What about the CPU's standing among all tested processors?
A: The Intel Core i7-13700K ranks in the 89th percentile among all CPUs. Its average benchmark score is 46881, placing it within 0.5% of several rivals, including the AMD Ryzen 9 7845HX and Intel Xeon w3-2535.
Q: Which component is more likely to limit performance in Lockdown Protocol?
A: The data indicates the GPU is the limiting factor. The RX 580 ranks in the 53rd percentile among all GPUs, while the i7-13700K ranks in the 89th percentile among CPUs. The CPU far outclasses the GPU in relative standing.
Best Settings per Resolution
At 1920x1080, the most demanding preset that stays at or above 60 FPS is Low, delivering 84.9 FPS average. Medium at 1080p produces 58.9 FPS average, just missing the 60 FPS threshold, so it cannot be recommended as a playable preset.
At 2560x1440, Low is again the only preset that clears 60 FPS, with an average of 62.7 FPS. Medium at 1440p falls to 46.4 FPS, and High drops to 39.7 FPS, both below the playable threshold.
At 3840x2160, no preset reaches 60 FPS. The best recorded result is Low at 42.8 FPS, followed by Medium at 30 FPS, High at 22.4 FPS, and Ultra at 22.1 FPS. Players targeting 4K would need to accept sub-60 performance or lower the resolution.
Similar Performance Alternatives
The CPU's nearest rivals in the database are closely matched. The AMD Ryzen 9 5900 scores 46971, which is 0.2% higher than the i7-13700K's 46881. The AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX PRO 375 scores 47022, 0.3% higher. The AMD Ryzen 9 7845HX scores 46654, 0.5% lower, and the Intel Xeon w3-2535 scores 46653, also 0.5% lower. Any of these processors would behave nearly identically in Lockdown Protocol when paired with the same GPU.
On the GPU side, the RX 580's average score of 12928 is bracketed by four close competitors. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 Ti Mobile scores 12940, essentially identical at 0.1% faster. The NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1660 SUPER scores 12986, 0.4% faster. The AMD Radeon 740M scores 12870, 0.5% slower, and the AMD FirePro W5100 scores 12847, 0.6% slower. In practice, swapping the RX 580 for any of these would produce very similar frame rates in Lockdown Protocol, with the GTX 1660 SUPER offering the highest expected performance among the listed alternatives.
Since the CPU sits far above the GPU in relative performance, substituting the CPU with any of its nearest rivals would have negligible impact on the game's frame rates. The bottleneck remains the GPU across all resolutions.
The Verdict
This PC can run Lockdown Protocol, but only at 1080p and 1440p with Low settings. At 1920x1080, Low delivers 84.9 FPS average, comfortably above the 60 FPS threshold. At 2560x1440, Low delivers 62.7 FPS average, still playable but with less headroom. At 3840x2160, no preset is playable; the best result is 42.8 FPS on Low.
Medium settings are not playable at any resolution. At 1080p Medium hits 58.9 FPS, at 1440p Medium hits 46.4 FPS, and at 4K Medium hits 30 FPS. High settings are worse: 52.7 FPS at 1080p, 39.7 FPS at 1440p, and 22.4 FPS at 4K. Ultra is the most demanding and the least playable, with 39.8 FPS at 1080p, 31.4 FPS at 1440p, and 22.1 FPS at 4K.
The overall ranking confirms the modest standing of this combo. It ranks 3369 out of 3714 tested combinations in Lockdown Protocol, placing it in the lower portion of the database. The system is suitable for 1080p Low gaming and marginal 1440p Low gaming, but it is not suited for higher presets or 4K.
CPU and GPU Roles
The recorded data shows a clear pattern: frame rates scale steeply with resolution, which indicates GPU-bound behavior. At 1080p Low, the combo produces 84.9 FPS. At 1440p Low, it drops to 62.7 FPS, a 26% reduction. At 4K Low, it falls to 42.8 FPS, a further 32% reduction. This consistent decline as pixel count rises is characteristic of a GPU-limited scenario.
The CPU's benchmark standing reinforces this interpretation. The i7-13700K ranks in the 89th percentile among all CPUs, with strong multi-threaded scores such as 30745 in Cinebench R23 multicore and 12412 in 3DMark max threads. The RX 580, by contrast, ranks in the 53rd percentile among all GPUs. The GPU is far weaker relative to its own field than the CPU is relative to its field.
Settings scaling further isolates the GPU as the limiting factor. At 1080p, moving from Low to Medium costs 26 FPS (84.9 to 58.9), and from Medium to High costs another 6.2 FPS. At 1440p, the same Low-to-Medium transition costs 16.3 FPS. At 4K, Low to Medium costs 12.8 FPS. The GPU's inability to maintain 60 FPS even at 1080p Medium, despite a top-tier CPU, shows that additional processor headroom would not recover playable frame rates at higher presets.
Across all resolutions, the RX 580 is the performance gate. The i7-13700K provides ample compute headroom, as evidenced by its high percentile ranking, but the game's frame rates are dictated by the GPU's rendering throughput. Players seeking higher settings would need a substantially stronger GPU rather than a stronger CPU.
How This Combo Ranks
In the database's collection of tested hardware combinations for Lockdown Protocol, this pairing of Intel Core i7-13700K and AMD Radeon RX 580 ranks 3369 out of 3714 combinations. That places it in the bottom 10% of tested systems for this game.
The ranking reflects the GPU's modest capabilities. The RX 580's average benchmark score of 12928 and its 53rd percentile standing among all GPUs put it well below the median of graphics cards in the database. The CPU, in contrast, is an upper-tier part: the i7-13700K's 89th percentile ranking and average score of 46881 are strong. The combination of a high-end CPU with a mid-range GPU produces a system that is heavily skewed toward processor performance, which does not translate into high frame rates in this GPU-bound title.
The gap between the CPU's strength and the GPU's weakness is the defining feature of this combo's ranking. With a rank of 3369 out of 3714, the system sits near the bottom of the field, ahead of only a small fraction of tested combinations. This is consistent with the measured FPS data, which shows playable performance only at Low settings on 1080p and 1440p.
Measured FPS Breakdown
At 1920x1080, the recorded averages are as follows: Low delivers 84.9 FPS, Medium delivers 58.9 FPS, High delivers 52.7 FPS, and Ultra delivers 39.8 FPS. No minimum or maximum frame rate values were recorded for any preset at this resolution.
At 2560x1440, Low delivers 62.7 FPS, Medium delivers 46.4 FPS, High delivers 39.7 FPS, and Ultra delivers 31.4 FPS. Again, no minimum or maximum values are available in the recorded data.
At 3840x2160, Low delivers 42.8 FPS, Medium delivers 30 FPS, High delivers 22.4 FPS, and Ultra delivers 22.1 FPS. The 4K results show a narrow spread between High and Ultra, with only 0.3 FPS separating them.
The overall pattern across all resolutions is consistent: Low is the only preset that clears the 60 FPS threshold, and only at 1080p and 1440p. The drop from Low to Medium is significant at every resolution, ranging from 12.8 FPS at 4K to 26 FPS at 1080p. The drop from High to Ultra is smaller, particularly at 4K where the two presets nearly converge. These measurements indicate that the RX 580 has limited headroom for quality improvements, and players should expect to stay on Low settings to maintain playable frame rates.
