Lockdown Protocol

The Intel Core Ultra 7 265 and AMD Radeon RX 6750 XT combination delivers a versatile 60+ FPS experience across all tested resolutions in Lockdown Protocol. At 4K, the system requires a settings reduction to Medium to stay fluid, while at 1440p and 1080p it can run the game at its absolute highest quality preset without dropping below the playable threshold. The data indicates a well-balanced pairing where the GPU becomes the primary constraint only at 4K Ultra.

Best Settings per Resolution

At 3840x2160 (4K), the most demanding preset that maintains at least 60 FPS on average is Medium, which produces an average of 67 FPS. The measured frame range at this setting spans from a minimum of 57 FPS to a maximum of 77 FPS, meaning occasional dips below the 60 FPS target can occur during intense scenes. High settings at 4K fall just short of playable, averaging 59 FPS, while Ultra drops to 44 FPS and is not recommended at this resolution.

At 2560x1440 (1440p), every preset clears the 60 FPS bar, allowing the Ultra preset to be selected as the best playable option. Ultra averages 68 FPS, which is comfortably above the threshold. High settings average 91 FPS, Medium reaches 104 FPS with a min of 89 and max of 120, and Low produces 147 FPS.

At 1920x1080 (1080p), the Ultra preset is again the highest playable setting, yielding an average of 93 FPS. Medium hits 142 FPS with a min of 121 and max of 164, High delivers 124 FPS, and Low achieves 200 FPS. The system has ample overhead at 1080p, making it ideal for high-refresh-rate displays.

FAQ

Q: Can this PC run Lockdown Protocol at 4K resolution?

A: Yes, but not at the highest preset. At 3840x2160, the Medium preset averages 67 FPS with a minimum of 57, while High averages 59 FPS and Ultra drops to 44 FPS. The verdict data lists Low and Medium as playable settings at 4K.

Q: What is the best settings preset at 1440p for this combo?

A: The Ultra preset is playable at 2560x1440, averaging 68 FPS. All four presets (Low, Medium, High, Ultra) at 1440p clear the 60 FPS playable threshold, so you can select the maximum quality without compromising frame rate.

Q: How does the GPU's benchmark percentile compare to the CPU's?

A: The AMD Radeon RX 6750 XT ranks in the 71st percentile among all GPUs, while the Intel Core Ultra 7 265 ranks in the 93rd percentile among all CPUs. This indicates the processor is a stronger performer relative to its peers than the graphics card is.

Q: What is the minimum FPS recorded for this system in the game?

A: The lowest minimum FPS figure recorded in the measured data is 57 FPS, which occurs at 3840x2160 with Medium settings. At 2560x1440 Medium, the minimum is 89 FPS, and at 1920x1080 Medium, the minimum is 121 FPS.

Q: Does the Ultra preset ever fail to reach 60 FPS on this hardware?

A: Yes, at 3840x2160, the Ultra preset averages only 44 FPS. However, at both 2560x1440 and 1920x1080, Ultra settings deliver above 60 FPS, with averages of 68 FPS and 93 FPS respectively.

Q: How does this combo rank among all tested hardware combinations?

A: This CPU and GPU pairing ranks 1709th out of 3714 tested combos in Lockdown Protocol, placing it in the upper half of the benchmark database for this game.

Similar Performance Alternatives

The Intel Core Ultra 7 265 has an average benchmark score of 64640, placing it in the 93rd percentile of all CPUs. Its closest rivals in CPU performance are a mix of AMD EPYC server processors and a lower-cost version of itself. The AMD EPYC 4464P scores 64823, which is 0.3% higher. The Intel Core Ultra 7 265F scores 64438, just 0.3% lower. The AMD EPYC 7343 scores 64202 (0.7% lower), and the AMD EPYC 9124 scores 65104, a difference of 0.7% higher. A user moving between these processors would see negligible performance differences in CPU-bound scenarios.

For the GPU, the AMD Radeon RX 6750 XT has an average benchmark score of 26011, placing it in the 71st percentile of all GPUs. Its nearest rivals are all older or mobile parts with remarkably similar scores. The AMD Radeon R9 M395X averages 25891, just 0.5% lower. The AMD FirePro W7100 scores 25856 (0.6% lower), the AMD FirePro D700 scores 25842 (0.7% lower), and the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 Ti Mobile scores 25740, which is 1.1% lower. These alternatives would deliver nearly identical frame rates in Lockdown Protocol, though the RX 6750 XT holds a slight edge in aggregate performance.

The Verdict

Yes, this PC can run Lockdown Protocol effectively. The verdict data shows that the system clears the 60 FPS playable threshold at all three tested resolutions, provided you choose the right settings. At 3840x2160, the playable settings are Low and Medium, with the best option being Medium at an average of 67 FPS. At 2560x1440, all settings including Ultra are playable, with Ultra averaging 68 FPS. At 1920x1080, the entire settings range is playable, with Ultra averaging 93 FPS.

The practical takeaway is that this hardware is best suited for 1440p or 1080p gaming at maximum quality. At 4K, you must dial back to Medium to stay above the 60 FPS average, and even then the minimum FPS can dip to 57. The system is a strong choice for high-refresh-rate 1080p monitors and capable for 1440p, where it provides both quality and smoothness.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 3840x2160, the frame rate scales predictably with settings. Low averages 95 FPS, Medium averages 67 FPS with a range of 57-77 FPS, High averages 59 FPS, and Ultra averages 44 FPS. The jump from Low to Medium represents a 28 FPS drop, while the Medium to High step costs another 8 FPS, indicating the GPU becomes increasingly saturated at 4K.

At 2560x1440, performance is strong across the board. Low averages 147 FPS, Medium averages 104 FPS with a range of 89-120 FPS, High averages 91 FPS, and Ultra averages 68 FPS. The gap between Medium and Ultra is 36 FPS, showing that the Ultra preset has a significant cost in this resolution.

At 1920x1080, all settings provide excellent playability. Low averages 200 FPS, Medium averages 142 FPS with a range of 121-164 FPS, High averages 124 FPS, and Ultra averages 93 FPS. The system can easily drive high-refresh-rate panels at this resolution, even with the highest quality preset selected.

How This Combo Ranks

In the aggregate benchmark database for Lockdown Protocol, this Intel Core Ultra 7 265 with AMD Radeon RX 6750 XT configuration ranks 1709th out of 3714 tested combos. This places the system in the 54th percentile of all tested hardware combinations, meaning roughly 46% of setups in the database perform better. The ranking reflects a middle-upper tier position, aligning with the GPU's 71st percentile and the CPU's 93rd percentile.

The rank is notable because the CPU is exceptionally strong relative to the GPU. The Core Ultra 7 265 sits in the top 7% of all CPUs, while the RX 6750 XT sits in the top 29% of GPUs. This imbalance suggests that in CPU-light or well-threaded games like Lockdown Protocol, the system punches near its GPU limit, but the processor headroom leaves room for future GPU upgrades without creating a significant bottleneck. The measured FPS data confirms this interpretation, as the system achieves much higher frame rates at 1080p and 1440p than at 4K, indicating that the GPU is the limiting factor in the most demanding scenarios.
