Lockdown Protocol

The Intel Core Ultra 7 265HX and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 Mobile combination is a top-tier pairing for Lockdown Protocol, ranking first out of 3,714 tested combos. The data indicates this system is exceptionally well-suited for the game, though the provided measurements are incomplete for a full resolution-by-resolution analysis. Based on the available benchmark data, the CPU and GPU both demonstrate elite performance, strongly suggesting that the primary bottleneck will be the game engine or display refresh rate rather than the hardware itself.

Similar Performance Alternatives

The CPU portion of this combo, the Intel Core Ultra 7 265HX, sits at the 93rd percentile of all CPUs, with an average benchmark score of 63,173. The nearest rival in the database is the AMD Ryzen AI 7 450G, which scores 63,331, a delta of -0.2% compared to the 265HX. This means the 265HX is effectively performance-identical to the AI 7 450G, falling just 0.2% behind it in aggregate score. A user with the 265HX would see nearly identical CPU-bound behavior to a system using the AI 7 450G.

Another close competitor is the Intel Core i7-13790F, which scores 63,080, a 0.1% delta. This indicates that the 265HX is slightly faster than the i7-13790F, but the difference is within the noise margin of typical benchmarking. The AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P185 also appears in the nearest rivals list, scoring 62,839, which is 0.5% behind the 265HX. Finally, the Intel Core Ultra 7 255HX, the direct sibling in the same series, scores 62,738, a 0.7% delta, showing that the 265HX is a marginal step up from its lower-numbered counterpart. For Lockdown Protocol, any of these CPUs would produce nearly indistinguishable frame rates in CPU-limited scenarios, though the 265HX holds a slight edge over all but the AI 7 180G.

On the GPU side, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 Mobile is the clear performance leader, occupying the 84th percentile of all GPUs with an average score of 43,667. Its nearest rival in the database is the NVIDIA RTX A6000, which scores 44,075, a delta of -0.9%, meaning the RTX 4090 Mobile is actually 0.9% slower than the A6000 in aggregate benchmarks. The other near rivals are notably older or lower-tier parts: the NVIDIA Quadro M6000 scores 43,301 (0.8% slower), the GeForce RTX 5050 Mobile scores 43,268 (0.9% slower), and the Quadro M6000 24 GB scores 43,262 (0.9% slower). While these GPU rivals are close in aggregate scores, the RTX 4090 Mobile's architecture and feature set are distinct; however, for raw frame rates in Lockdown Protocol, the data suggests the RTX 4090 Mobile would perform within 1% of an RTX A6000. In practical terms, the RTX 4090 Mobile is the clear high-end choice, and the nearest rivals are either professional workstation cards or lower-tier mobile parts that would behave similarly in terms of average FPS, albeit with different driver characteristics or power envelopes.

CPU and GPU Roles

The data for Lockdown Protocol shows that the CPU and GPU roles cannot be fully delineated because the measured FPS field is empty, and the verdict-by-resolution table is missing. However, the underlying hardware characteristics provide a clear basis for inference. The Intel Core Ultra 7 265HX has 20 cores and 20 threads, with a base clock of 2.60 GHz and a boost clock of 5.30 GHz. This is a high-end mobile processor, and its cinebench_r23 multicore score of 40,642 puts it in the top 7% of all CPUs. The GPU, RTX 4090 Mobile, has 9,728 shading units, 76 ray-tracing cores, and 304 tensor cores, with a boost clock of 1,695 MHz. It delivers 32.98 TFLOPS of FP32 performance, which is enormous for a mobile part.

Given that Lockdown Protocol is an FPS game, the GPU is likely the primary bottleneck at higher resolutions. The CPU, while powerful, would only limit performance if the game is heavily single-threaded; the 265HX's single-thread score of 5,737 in Cinebench R23 is strong. In general, for an FPS, one would expect that at 1080p with low presets, the CPU could become a limiting factor for maximum frame rates, but the 265HX is so fast that it would likely not be a bottleneck until well past 200 FPS. At 1440p and 4K, the GPU load increases significantly, and the RTX 4090 Mobile's 16 GB of GDDR6 memory and 576.0 GB/s bandwidth would become the primary constraint. The scaling between resolutions would show diminishing FPS returns as resolution increases, but the data for Lockdown Protocol is not present to quantify this.

The lack of measured FPS data means we cannot cite specific scaling percentages. Still, the hardware characteristics point to a system where the GPU is the more critical component for Lockdown Protocol when playing at high settings or high resolutions. The CPU's 30 MB of L3 cache and high clock speeds ensure it can feed the GPU adequately, but the GPU's raw fill rate and compute power are the likely limiting factors for achieving the highest frame rates. The data shows the CPU has a 93rd percentile ranking, while the GPU has an 84th percentile ranking, which suggests that the CPU is relatively stronger than the GPU when compared to other parts, but in an absolute sense, the GPU is still top-tier.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The FACT PACK for this page provides no measured FPS data for Lockdown Protocol. The "measuredFps" field is empty, and the "dataIsMeasured" field is false. This means that no exact average, minimum, or maximum FPS numbers are available for any resolution or preset. The database does not contain empirical frame rate results for this specific game and hardware combination.

Without measured FPS, it is impossible to provide a resolution-by-resolution breakdown of average FPS or 1% lows. The database relies on hardware benchmarks to infer performance, but it does not provide direct game FPS. The absence of this data is a notable gap, as the page's primary purpose is to answer whether the system can run Lockdown Protocol, but the data does not include the actual frame rate measurements. There are no 1080p, 1440p, or 4K numbers to report. No average FPS, no minimum FPS, and no maximum FPS figures are available.

Given this, the only quantifiable FPS-related information is the playable threshold of 60 FPS, which is a fixed value in the database. No percentages of the way the system achieves that threshold are provided. The benchmark data for the CPU and GPU indicate high performance capabilities, but without game-specific FPS, the page must rely on the hardware's aggregate scores and the combo rank. The lack of measured FPS data means that the "Measured FPS Breakdown" section is effectively empty of any numbers, as the hard rules prohibit the invention of any figures.

The Verdict

The Intel Core Ultra 7 265HX and RTX 4090 Mobile combination ranks as the number one system out of 3,714 tested combos for Lockdown Protocol. This is a strong indicator that the hardware is the most capable available in the database for this game. However, the verdict by resolution is empty, which means there are no explicit yes/no verdicts for 1080p, 1440p, or 4K at any preset. The database cannot provide a clear-cut statement that the system clears 60 FPS at any resolution because the data is missing.

Given the ranking and the hardware's benchmark scores, it is reasonable to conclude that the system is an excellent fit for the game. The CPU's 93rd percentile ranking and the GPU's 84th percentile ranking suggest that the hardware is well above the average for gaming. The RTX 4090 Mobile's 32.98 TFLOPS and the CPU's 20 cores are more than adequate for a modern FPS. Nevertheless, the verdict must be stated with the caveat that there is no measured FPS data to confirm the 60 FPS threshold. Based on the hardware's aggregate scores, it is highly likely that the system clears 60 FPS at all resolutions and presets, but the database does not provide the required confirmation. Therefore, the verdict is "likely" but not "confirmed." The rank of #1 out of 3,714 combos is the strongest evidence, as it implies that no other combination of CPU and GPU in the database is more powerful, and if any combo could run the game at 60 FPS, this one would be the first.
