Lockdown Protocol

Intel Core Ultra 7 155H paired with NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 Mobile is the highest-ranked combination in the Lockdown Protocol benchmark database, holding the #1 position out of 3,714 tested combos. The CPU scores in the 83rd percentile among all processors, while the GPU sits in the 84th percentile among all graphics cards, indicating a balanced, top-tier pairing for this title. The game, released on 2024-03-11, is a fast-paced FPS, and this hardware stack is positioned at the very top of the performance hierarchy for it.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The FACT PACK does not include a `measuredFps` array for this specific combination, meaning no direct frame-time data has been recorded for the Intel Core Ultra 7 155H and RTX 5090 Mobile pairing in Lockdown Protocol. Consequently, exact average, minimum, and maximum FPS values at any resolution or settings preset are not available from the provided data. The `dataIsMeasured` field is set to false, confirming that these results are derived from synthetic benchmarks and hardware specifications rather than in-game capture.

What the data does provide is the composite benchmark scores for each component. The CPU achieves a Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 15,028 and a single-core score of 1,743, with a PassMark multi-thread score of 24,873 and a single-thread score of 3,468. The GPU delivers a 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 5,871, a Geekbench OpenCL score of 201,834, and a Vulkan score of 198,405, alongside a PassMark G3D score of 30,034. These figures indicate extreme computational capability, but they cannot be translated into specific FPS numbers for Lockdown Protocol without the measured frame data.

Because the measured FPS array is empty, the analysis must rely on the combination’s rank and the component-level scores. The GPU’s memory configuration includes 24 GB of GDDR7 on a 256-bit bus with 896.0 GB/s bandwidth, paired with 10,496 shading units and a boost clock of 1,515 MHz. The CPU’s 16 cores and 22 threads with a 4.80 GHz boost clock provide substantial headroom for game logic and physics. The absence of measured FPS is a critical gap; the data shows the hardware is top-ranked, but the specific FPS deltas between resolutions and presets remain undefined.

How This Combo Ranks

The `comboRankInGame` field places this pairing at rank 1 out of 3,714 tested combinations for Lockdown Protocol. This is the definitive statement of performance hierarchy: no other CPU-GPU pairing in the database achieves a higher standing for this game. The rank is based on the aggregate scores of the components, and the percentile positions reinforce the picture. The CPU’s 83rd percentile and the GPU’s 84th percentile are both high, but the combo’s #1 rank suggests that the synergy between the Core Ultra 7 155H and the RTX 5090 Mobile is exceptional for this specific title, possibly due to the game’s engine favoring the CPU’s Meteor Lake architecture and the GPU’s Blackwell 2.0 design.

Relative to the CPU’s nearest rivals, the Core Ultra 7 155H is virtually tied with the Intel Core i5-14600T, which has an average score of 32,707 and a deltaPct of 0. It is also within 0.1% of the AMD Ryzen AI 7 PRO 360 (32,662), within -0.2% of the AMD Ryzen 5 7400F (32,750), and within -0.4% of the AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 6850H (32,812). These deltas are negligible, meaning any of these CPUs would deliver nearly identical performance in Lockdown Protocol, assuming the GPU remains the same. For the GPU, the RTX 5090 Mobile’s nearest rivals show a wider spread: the AMD Radeon Pro 5500 XT is 0.5% slower (45,384), the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti is 0.8% faster (44,795), the Intel Arc A730M is 1% slower (45,592), and the NVIDIA RTX 5880 Ada Generation is 1.8% slower (45,972). The RTX 5090 Mobile’s average benchmark score of 45,152 is bracketed tightly by these cards, yet the combo rank suggests it pulls ahead in Lockdown Protocol specifically.

The #1 rank out of 3,714 is not a marginal victory; it is a categorical top placement. This means that for the tested configurations in the database, no other pairing produces a higher expected frame rate in Lockdown Protocol. The deltaPct values among rivals are small, but the combo rank is absolute, implying that the RTX 5090 Mobile’s 24 GB VRAM and 896.0 GB/s bandwidth are decisive factors for this game’s asset streaming and texture workloads.

CPU and GPU Roles

Determining which component matters more requires the measured FPS data at different resolutions and presets, which is absent from the FACT PACK. However, the CPU and GPU specifications allow for a reasoned qualitative assessment. The RTX 5090 Mobile has a TDP of 95 W, while the Core Ultra 7 155H has a TDP of 28 W; the GPU is clearly the dominant power draw and likely the primary driver of frame rates in a GPU-bound FPS like Lockdown Protocol. The GPU’s FP32 performance of 31.80 TFLOPS and pixel rate of 169.7 GPixel/s are massive numbers, suggesting that at lower resolutions (e.g., 1080p), the CPU could become a limiting factor, but at higher resolutions (e.g., 1440p or 4K), the GPU’s workload increases and it becomes the bottleneck.

The CPU’s 24 MB of shared L3 cache and dual-channel DDR5 memory support with 89.6 GB/s bandwidth are adequate for feeding the GPU, but the GPU’s 896.0 GB/s memory bandwidth is 10 times higher, indicating the GPU is designed to handle large data transfers independently. In the absence of resolution-specific FPS scaling, the data shows that the GPU has 82 RT cores and 328 tensor cores, which are specialized for ray tracing and AI upscaling—features that likely matter more at higher settings presets. The CPU’s integrated Arc Xe-LPG graphics (128 EU) is irrelevant when a discrete RTX 5090 Mobile is present, so the CPU’s role is purely in game logic, physics, and draw call submission.

The scaling between resolutions and presets cannot be cited with numbers, but the hardware profile suggests that at 1080p with low settings, the CPU’s single-core performance (Cinebench R23 single-core score of 1,743) would be more influential, while at 4K with ultra settings, the GPU’s 24 GB VRAM and 10,496 shading units would dominate. The fact that the combo is ranked #1 suggests that neither component is severely imbalanced for this game; the CPU’s 22 threads handle background tasks, and the GPU’s raw throughput handles rendering. The data indicates a well-matched pair, but without measured FPS deltas, a definitive statement on which component matters more at each resolution is not possible from the FACT PACK alone.

Best Settings per Resolution

Because the FACT PACK contains no measured FPS data for this game, it is impossible to specify the most demanding preset that stays at or above 60 FPS at any resolution. The `verdictByResolution` field is also empty, confirming a lack of per-resolution analysis. The playable threshold is defined as 60 FPS, and the combo is ranked #1, which strongly implies it can exceed this threshold at most settings, but the exact preset and resolution combinations cannot be named without the absent frame data.

The GPU’s 24 GB VRAM is ample for high-resolution textures, and its 896.0 GB/s bandwidth suggests it can handle 4K asset streaming. The CPU’s 4.80 GHz boost clock and 24 MB L3 cache are sufficient for high-refresh-rate gameplay at lower resolutions. However, the absence of measured FPS means any recommendation for "best settings" would be speculative. The data supports a conclusion that the hardware is capable, but the specific FPS figures required to justify a preset choice are not present in the FACT PACK. Therefore, no preset can be recommended with exact FPS numbers; the only defensible statement is that the combo’s #1 rank out of 3,714 indicates it likely clears 60 FPS at common resolutions, but this is an inference, not a measured result.

The Verdict

Can this PC run Lockdown Protocol? Based on the available data, the answer is yes, with the caveat that no measured FPS is recorded. The combo holds the #1 rank out of 3,714 tested combinations, and both components are in the 83rd and 84th percentiles respectively. The CPU’s Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 15,028 and the GPU’s 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 5,871 are top-tier figures. The `verdictByResolution` field is empty, so a resolution-by-resolution verdict cannot be stated with exact FPS numbers. However, the rank alone is a strong indicator: if this combo were incapable of clearing 60 FPS at a given resolution, it would not be ranked first overall.

The game’s playable threshold is 60 FPS, and the hardware’s specifications—the GPU’s 31.80 TFLOPS FP32 and the CPU’s 22 threads—are far above what typical FPS titles require. The lack of measured data prevents a definitive "yes, at 4K ultra with 120 FPS" statement, but the rank of 1 out of 3,714 is the database’s way of saying this is the best possible pairing for the game. The verdict is positive: this PC can run Lockdown Protocol, and it is the top-ranked configuration in the database. The exact resolutions and presets that clear 60 FPS are not enumerated, but the hardware’s position makes it highly likely that all tested scenarios in the database are playable, given that no other combo ranks higher.

Similar Performance Alternatives

For the CPU, the nearest rivals are all within 0.4% of the Core Ultra 7 155H’s average benchmark score of 32,697. The Intel Core i5-14600T scores 32,707 (deltaPct 0), meaning it would perform identically in Lockdown Protocol. The AMD Ryzen AI 7 PRO 360 scores 32,662 (0.1% slower), the AMD Ryzen 5 7400F scores 32,750 (0.2% faster), and the AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 6850H scores 32,812 (0.4% faster). Any of these CPUs paired with the same RTX 5090 Mobile would produce nearly the same frame rates, as the deltaPct values are within measurement noise.

For the GPU, the RTX 5090 Mobile’s nearest rivals are slightly further apart. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti is 0.8% faster with a score of 44,795, making it a marginally stronger alternative. The AMD Radeon Pro 5500 XT (45,384) is 0.5% slower, the Intel Arc A730M (45,592) is 1% slower, and the NVIDIA RTX 5880 Ada Generation (45,972) is 1.8% slower. If a system uses the Core Ultra 7 155H with an RTX 4070 Ti, the expected performance in Lockdown Protocol would be slightly higher than the RTX 5090 Mobile combo, despite the RTX 4070 Ti having a lower average score—the deltaPct is small but positive. Conversely, swapping to the Radeon Pro 5500 XT or Intel Arc A730M would yield a minor performance dip, unlikely to be noticeable in gameplay.

The takeaway is that the Core Ultra 7 155H is interchangeable with four other CPUs without changing performance outcomes, and the RTX 5090 Mobile can be substituted with the RTX 4070 Ti for a slight gain or the Arc A730M for a slight loss, all within a 2% margin. This means users with similar hardware profiles should expect comparable Lockdown Protocol performance, with the combo rank of #1 being robust to these small component variations.
