Performance Analysis: Lockdown Protocol on Your System
The Intel Core Ultra 5 225 paired with the AMD Radeon RX 580 delivers a highly resolution-dependent experience in Lockdown Protocol. The data shows this combo is strictly for 1080p and, to a lesser extent, 1440p gaming, with 4K being entirely out of reach. The CPU is a modern powerhouse, but the GPU, an older Polaris design, becomes the clear limiting factor as pixel count increases.
Measured FPS Breakdown
The recorded frame rates reveal a steep performance cliff as resolution climbs. At 1920x1080, the combo produces its best results. With Low settings, the average FPS is 85, which is the highest average recorded across all tests. Moving to Medium settings, the average drops to 60 FPS, with a minimum of 51 FPS and a maximum of 69 FPS. High settings yield an average of 53 FPS. At Ultra settings, the average falls to 40 FPS.
Stepping up to 2560x1440, the performance penalty is significant. Low settings produce an average of 62 FPS, which is just above the playable threshold. Medium settings average 44 FPS, with a minimum of 38 FPS and a maximum of 51 FPS. High settings average 39 FPS, and Ultra settings average 29 FPS.
At 3840x2160, the combo struggles to maintain playable frame rates. Low settings average 40 FPS. Medium settings average 29 FPS, with a minimum of 24 FPS and a maximum of 33 FPS. High settings average 25 FPS, and Ultra settings average 19 FPS. The data indicates that 4K is not a viable option for this hardware combination, as even the lowest preset fails to reach 60 FPS.
How This Combo Ranks
The database places this specific CPU and GPU combination at rank 3384 out of 3714 tested combos for Lockdown Protocol. This ranking places it in the lower percentile of systems, indicating that while it can run the game, it does so with less headroom than the majority of tested configurations. The low rank is primarily attributable to the GPU, which sits at the 53rd percentile among all GPUs in the database. The CPU, by contrast, is a much stronger performer, ranking in the 85th percentile. This mismatch in component capability is the defining characteristic of this build.
The combo rank suggests that most other tested systems will outperform this one, particularly at higher resolutions and settings. The data implies that the experience will be defined by compromises, requiring players to prioritize frame rate over visual fidelity.
CPU and GPU Roles
The division of labor between the Intel Core Ultra 5 225 and the AMD Radeon RX 580 is stark. The CPU is a high-end part with a strong Passmark multithread score of 30459 and a single-thread score of 4412. Its performance is not the bottleneck in this configuration. The GPU, however, is a legacy part with a Passmark G3D score of 8813, placing it in the 53rd percentile. Its age and architecture limit its ability to drive high pixel counts.
The data makes this clear through resolution scaling. At 1080p, the GPU is able to keep up with the CPU's demands, resulting in playable frame rates. As the resolution increases to 1440p and then 4K, the GPU's workload increases exponentially, and the frame rates drop accordingly. The CPU's role becomes less impactful at higher resolutions because the GPU is saturated. The scaling between Low and Ultra settings also reflects this. At 1080p, the difference between Low and Ultra is 45 FPS (85 to 40), showing that settings have a major impact. At 4K, the difference between Low and Ultra is only 21 FPS (40 to 19), as the GPU is so heavily loaded that even reducing settings provides limited relief. The GPU is the dominant factor in determining performance, especially above 1080p.
The Verdict
This PC can run Lockdown Protocol, but only under specific conditions. The verdict data shows that at 3840x2160, there are no playable settings. The system fails to reach the 60 FPS threshold at any preset. At 2560x1440, the system is barely playable, with only the Low preset achieving an average of 62 FPS. This is the only playable setting at this resolution.
The system is most viable at 1920x1080. The database lists both Low and Medium as playable settings. The best average FPS at this resolution is achieved on Medium settings, with an average of 60 FPS. This makes 1080p Medium the optimal configuration for a smooth experience. For a competitive FPS title, hitting 60 FPS is often the minimum standard, and this combo just meets it at 1080p Medium. Players seeking higher refresh rates would need to use the Low preset, which offers an average of 85 FPS.
Similar Performance Alternatives
For the CPU, the Intel Core Ultra 5 225 has several nearby rivals in the database with nearly identical average scores. The AMD Ryzen 5 5600F has an average score of 36945, which is a 0% delta from the Intel chip. The AMD Ryzen 5 5500X3D scores 37018, a delta of -0.2%. The AMD Ryzen AI 7 PRO 450 scores 37093, a delta of -0.4%. Finally, the Intel Core i9-12900T scores 37112, a delta of -0.5%. These processors would all deliver very similar CPU-bound performance in Lockdown Protocol.
On the GPU side, the AMD Radeon RX 580's nearest rivals are also tightly grouped. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 Ti Mobile has an average score of 12940, a delta of -0.1%. The NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1660 SUPER scores 12986, a delta of -0.4%. The AMD Radeon 740M scores 12870, a delta of +0.5%. The AMD FirePro W5100 scores 12847, a delta of +0.6%. Substituting the RX 580 for any of these GPUs would result in a nearly identical frame rate profile. The GTX 1660 SUPER is the closest desktop equivalent in terms of raw score, suggesting it would behave almost exactly the same in this game.
FAQ
Q: Can this system run Lockdown Protocol at 4K?
A: No. The recorded data shows no playable settings at 3840x2160. The highest average FPS at that resolution is 40 on Low settings, which is below the 60 FPS playable threshold.
Q: What is the best settings preset for this combo?
A: At 1920x1080, Medium is the best playable preset, producing an average of 60 FPS. At 2560x1440, Low is the only playable preset, with an average of 62 FPS.
Q: Is the CPU or GPU the main bottleneck?
A: The GPU is the main bottleneck at higher resolutions. The CPU ranks in the 85th percentile, while the GPU ranks in the 53rd. The frame rate drops significantly as resolution increases, which points to the GPU being the limiting factor.
Q: What frame rate can I expect at 1080p with Ultra settings?
A: The data shows an average FPS of 40 at 1920x1080 with Ultra settings. This is below the 60 FPS threshold and is not listed as a playable setting.
Q: Does the system maintain a stable 60 FPS at 1440p?
A: Only on Low settings. The average FPS is 62, which is just above the threshold. On Medium settings, the average drops to 44 FPS, with a minimum of 38 FPS.
Q: How does this system compare to others in the database?
A: It ranks 3384 out of 3714 tested combos for Lockdown Protocol. This puts it in the lower tier of systems, meaning most other tested configurations will perform better.
