Lockdown Protocol

Intel Core Ultra 7 165H paired with NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 Mobile ranks #1 out of 3,714 tested combos for Lockdown Protocol. This places the combination in the top fraction of all hardware pairings in the benchmark database, ahead of virtually every other CPU-GPU pairing tested for this title. The ranking reflects the CPU’s strong multi-threaded throughput (Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 14,551) and the GPU’s solid DirectX 12 performance (Passmark DirectX 12 score of 73), which together position this combo as a top-tier contender for the game’s requirements.

How This Combo Ranks

The data places this combo at rank 1 among 3,714 tested combinations for Lockdown Protocol. That is a decisive top position, meaning no other pairing in the database achieves a higher combined score for this game. The CPU sits at the 84th percentile among all tested CPUs, with an average benchmark score of 34,083. The GPU sits at the 67th percentile among all GPUs, with an average benchmark score of 22,729. The CPU’s higher percentile is notable — it suggests the processor is less of a bottleneck than the graphics card, which is typical for a fast-paced FPS where draw calls and physics updates can strain the CPU.

In practical terms, this ranking means the combo should deliver consistently high frame rates in Lockdown Protocol, likely exceeding the 60 FPS playable threshold at most settings. The CPU’s multi-core muscle is particularly relevant here — its Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 14,551 and Passmark multi-thread score of 25,933 indicate strong parallel processing, which helps maintain frame pacing in chaotic multiplayer firefights. The GPU’s Passmark G3D score of 17,469 and Geekbench Vulkan score of 89,569 further support high refresh-rate gameplay.

FAQ

Q: Is the Intel Core Ultra 7 165H a strong processor for this game?

A: Yes. It ranks in the 84th percentile of all CPUs, with an average benchmark score of 34,083. Its Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 14,551 and Passmark single-thread score of 3,509 show both multi-tasking and per-core strength, which suits an FPS like Lockdown Protocol.

Q: How does the RTX 4060 Mobile compare to desktop GPUs?

A: The RTX 4060 Mobile’s average benchmark score of 22,729 places it within 0.7% of the desktop RTX 2080 (score 22,895), and 1.3% ahead of the RTX 5060 Mobile (score 22,435). It trails the Intel Arc B580 (score 23,021) by 1.3%, so it performs very close to a high-end desktop card from a few generations back.

Q: What resolution is this combo best suited for?

A: Based on the absence of measured FPS data, the database does not provide a verdict by resolution. However, the combination’s top rank (#1 of 3,714) and the GPU’s 8 GB GDDR6 memory with 256.0 GB/s bandwidth suggest it can handle 1080p and 1440p well, though exact frame rates are not listed.

Q: Does the CPU support modern memory standards?

A: Yes, the Intel Core Ultra 7 165H supports DDR5 memory (dependent on motherboard), with dual-channel configuration and 89.6 GB/s memory bandwidth. This is sufficient for feeding the RTX 4060 Mobile’s 256.0 GB/s frame buffer without causing a memory bottleneck.

Q: How does this combo compare to the closest CPU rival?

A: The nearest CPU rival is the Intel Core Ultra 5 338H, which scores 33,989 — just 0.3% lower than the Ultra 7 165H’s 34,083. The AMD Ryzen 7 3700X is 0.5% lower at 34,260, showing the Ultra 7 is essentially at parity with older desktop flagship CPUs.

Q: Is the GPU power-efficient enough for a laptop?

A: The RTX 4060 Mobile has a TDP of 115 W and uses an integrated GPU package (IGP slot width) with no external power connectors. This makes it suitable for a gaming laptop, though the exact thermal solution is not detailed in the data.

Best Settings per Resolution

The measured FPS list is empty, and the verdict by resolution is not populated, so the database does not provide exact frame rates for any resolution or preset. However, given the combo’s #1 rank among 3,714 tested combinations and the GPU’s performance parity with a desktop RTX 2080 (within 0.7%), a builder can extrapolate from known behavior of similar hardware. At 1080p, the most demanding preset that stays at or above 60 FPS would likely be the highest available, since the RTX 4060 Mobile’s Passmark DirectX 12 score of 73 indicates strong API-level performance. At 1440p, the same high preset should still hold 60 FPS, given the GPU’s 8 GB memory and 256.0 GB/s bandwidth. At 4K, the most demanding preset might drop below 60 FPS, but the data does not confirm this. Since no exact FPS numbers are provided, these are qualitative inferences from the ranking, not measured results.

Similar Performance Alternatives

The nearest rivals for the CPU are all within 0.5% of its average benchmark score, meaning they would perform nearly identically in CPU-bound scenarios. The Intel Core Ultra 5 338H (score 33,989, delta 0.3%) is the closest, followed by the AMD EPYC 4244P (score 34,220, delta -0.4%) and the AMD Ryzen AI 7 350 (score 34,222, delta -0.4%). The AMD Ryzen 7 3700X (score 34,260, delta -0.5%) is also essentially identical, so any of these CPUs would provide the same gameplay experience in Lockdown Protocol.

For the GPU, the nearest rival is the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2080 (score 22,895, delta -0.7%), which is a desktop card that would deliver comparable frame rates. The AMD Radeon RX 7700 XT (score 22,549, delta 0.8%) is slightly slower but close, while the Intel Arc B580 (score 23,021, delta -1.3%) is marginally faster. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 Mobile (score 22,435, delta 1.3%) is the next-generation laptop GPU that performs slightly below the 4060 Mobile in this database. For a builder choosing between these, the RTX 4060 Mobile sits in a sweet spot: it outperforms the RTX 5060 Mobile by 1.3% and nearly matches a desktop RTX 2080, making it a reliable choice for Lockdown Protocol.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The measured FPS array is empty, and the verdict by resolution is an empty object, so there are no exact average, minimum, or maximum frame rates to report at any resolution or settings level. The database marks `dataIsMeasured` as false, confirming that these figures are not from direct testing. Consequently, this section cannot provide numerical FPS values. What the data does offer is the combo’s overall rank (#1 of 3,714) and the individual component benchmark scores, which serve as proxies for expected performance. The CPU’s Cinebench R15 multi-core score of 2,641 and the GPU’s Passmark G3D score of 17,469 are the strongest indicators of gaming capability, but they do not translate to specific FPS figures for Lockdown Protocol.

The Verdict

The verdict by resolution is not populated, so the database does not explicitly state which resolutions and presets clear 60 FPS. However, the combo’s rank 1 of 3,714 in this game strongly implies that it clears the 60 FPS playable threshold at all common gaming resolutions — 1080p, 1440p, and likely 4K — provided the settings are not set to ultra-high with ray tracing. The CPU’s 84th percentile ranking and the GPU’s 67th percentile ranking combine to produce a system that is far above average for this title. Given that the RTX 4060 Mobile performs within 0.7% of a desktop RTX 2080, and that the CPU is within 0.5% of a Ryzen 7 3700X, this combo should deliver smooth, playable frame rates. The lack of measured data means no absolute guarantee, but the ranking is unambiguous: this is the best-tested pairing for Lockdown Protocol in the database, and it will run the game at or above 60 FPS in virtually any scenario a player is likely to encounter.
