Performance Analysis: Lockdown Protocol on Your System
Measured FPS Breakdown
Starting with the highest demand scenario, at 3840x2160 (4K) this combination delivers an average of 47 FPS on High settings, which falls below the 60 FPS playability threshold. Dropping to Medium at 4K improves the average to 53 FPS, with recorded minimums of 45 FPS and maximums of 62 FPS, still not consistently clearing the threshold. The Low preset at 4K is the standout, producing an average of 75 FPS, which is comfortably above 60 FPS. Ultra at 4K is the most demanding, with the average collapsing to 35 FPS.
At 2560x1440, the picture improves substantially. High settings average 72 FPS, which clears the 60 FPS threshold. Medium settings average 83 FPS, with minimums of 70 FPS and maximums of 95 FPS, providing a very stable experience. Low settings push the average to 117 FPS. Ultra at 1440p drops to an average of 54 FPS, just below the playable mark, so it is not recommended if you want consistent smoothness.
At 1920x1080, the combo is strong across the board. Low settings hit an average of 159 FPS, which is excellent for competitive play. High settings average 99 FPS. Medium settings average 113 FPS, with minimums of 96 FPS and maximums of 130 FPS. Ultra at 1080p averages 74 FPS, which is above 60 FPS and therefore playable, though it is the weakest of the four presets at this resolution.
The data shows a clear pattern: this hardware scales predictably across resolutions. The gap between Low and Ultra at 1080p is 85 FPS (159 vs 74), while at 4K the gap is 40 FPS (75 vs 35). The average FPS drops by roughly half when moving from 1080p Low to 4K Low, and similarly from 1080p Ultra to 4K Ultra.
CPU and GPU Roles
The recorded measurements indicate that this game, Lockdown Protocol, is heavily influenced by the GPU, but the CPU still matters at lower resolutions. At 1080p, the CPU has enough headroom to let the RTX 2060 SUPER stretch its legs. The jump from 1080p Low (159 FPS) to 1440p Low (117 FPS) shows a 26% reduction, which is a classic sign of GPU limitation as pixel count increases. The same resolution scaling is visible on High: 1080p High averages 99 FPS, 1440p High averages 72 FPS, and 4K High averages 47 FPS. This steady decline as resolution increases points to the GPU being the primary bottleneck at higher resolutions.
Conversely, the CPU's role becomes more apparent at 1080p, where the GPU is less strained. The difference between 1080p Low (159 FPS) and 1080p Ultra (74 FPS) is 85 FPS, which is a massive swing caused by GPU workload changes. However, the fact that 1080p Ultra still clears 60 FPS suggests the CPU is capable of feeding the GPU enough data at this resolution.
At 4K, the GPU is clearly the limiting factor. The Intel Core Ultra 7 265, with its 20 cores and 20 threads, is unlikely to be the constraint at 3840x2160 when the RTX 2060 SUPER is producing only 35 FPS on Ultra. The scaling from 1440p Ultra (54 FPS) to 4K Ultra (35 FPS) is a 35% drop, which aligns with the GPU being saturated.
For presets, the Medium settings provide the most balanced load. At 1080p Medium, the average is 113 FPS with a minimum of 96 FPS, indicating that neither the CPU nor GPU is causing stutters. At 1440p Medium, the average is 83 FPS with a minimum of 70 FPS, still smooth. At 4K Medium, the average drops to 53 FPS with a minimum of 45 FPS, which shows the GPU struggling to maintain frame pacing.
In summary, the RTX 2060 SUPER is the dominant factor at 1440p and 4K, while the Intel Core Ultra 7 265 provides sufficient headroom at 1080p to allow the GPU to reach high frame rates. The CPU's single-thread performance, as indicated by a Cinebench R23 single-core score of 5960, is more than adequate for this title.
How This Combo Ranks
In the database, this combination of the Intel Core Ultra 7 265 and the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 SUPER ranks 2630 out of 3714 tested combos for Lockdown Protocol. This places it in the lower-mid tier of all possible configurations, meaning roughly 71% of tested combos perform better, and 29% perform worse.
This ranking is understandable given the GPU's age. The RTX 2060 SUPER sits at the 62nd percentile among all GPUs in the database, which is respectable for a card from the GeForce 20-series, but it is far from top-tier. The CPU, in contrast, is a strong performer, sitting at the 93rd percentile among all CPUs. The mismatch between a high-ranking CPU and a mid-ranking GPU results in the combo's overall position.
The rank suggests that for Lockdown Protocol, the GPU holds the combo back in most scenarios. If the CPU were paired with a stronger GPU, the ranking would likely be much higher. Conversely, if the GPU were paired with a weaker CPU, the ranking might not change much at this game's settings, since the GPU is the bottleneck at 4K and 1440p.
The Verdict
Can this PC run Lockdown Protocol? Yes, with caveats. The verdict by resolution is clear.
At 1920x1080, all four presets are playable. High, Low, Medium, and Ultra all clear the 60 FPS threshold. The best settings at 1080p are Ultra, with an average of 74 FPS. This is the resolution where the combo shines, and you can max out the game without worrying about drops below 60 FPS.
At 2560x1440, three presets are playable: High, Low, and Medium. The best settings at 1440p are High, with an average of 72 FPS. Ultra at 1440p is not playable, averaging 54 FPS, so you will need to step down one notch if you want smooth gameplay at this resolution.
At 3840x2160, only Low is playable, averaging 75 FPS. Medium at 4K averages 53 FPS, which is below the 60 FPS threshold, and High and Ultra are even worse. If you are using a 4K monitor, you will need to run the game on Low settings to maintain playability.
For a practical recommendation: if you are on a 1080p display, run the game at Ultra and enjoy 74 FPS. If you are on a 1440p display, run it at High for 72 FPS. If you are on a 4K display, run it at Low for 75 FPS. The Medium preset at 4K is borderline, but the data shows it dips to 45 FPS minimums, which could feel stuttery in fast-paced FPS gameplay.
Similar Performance Alternatives
If you are considering this exact CPU and GPU pairing, the database shows several nearby rivals for both components that would behave similarly.
For the Intel Core Ultra 7 265, the closest rival is the AMD EPYC 4464P, which has an average benchmark score 0.3% lower. This means you would see virtually identical CPU performance in Lockdown Protocol. The Intel Core Ultra 7 265F is 0.3% faster, and the AMD EPYC 7343 is 0.7% faster. The AMD EPYC 9124 is 0.7% slower. Any of these CPUs would be functionally indistinguishable for this game, as the GPU is the limiting factor at most resolutions.
For the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 SUPER, the nearest rival is the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 Mobile, which scores 0.4% lower on average. The AMD Radeon Pro 5700 is 0.5% lower, the AMD Radeon RX 460 is 1.5% lower, and the Intel Arc A770M is 1.6% lower. This means if you swapped the RTX 2060 SUPER for any of these GPUs, you would see nearly identical frame rates in Lockdown Protocol, within a margin of a few FPS.
If you are looking for a similar experience to this combo, pairing the Core Ultra 7 265 with a GPU in the same performance band as the RTX 2060 SUPER will yield comparable results. The data suggests that the RTX 3060 Mobile or the Radeon Pro 5700 would be direct substitutes, with no meaningful difference in average FPS.
