Lockdown Protocol

Intel Core Ultra 9 275HX paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 Mobile is the top-performing tested combination for Lockdown Protocol in the benchmark database, holding rank 1 of 3714 combos. That ranking, combined with a CPU sitting in the 94th percentile of all processors and a GPU in the 67th percentile of all graphics cards, establishes this pairing as the strongest hardware configuration on record for this 2024 first-person shooter. The performance data below reflects database ranking and component benchmark positioning rather than directly measured frame-rate captures, since no measured FPS figures are recorded for this game and combo combination.

Best Settings per Resolution

The database does not include measured frame-rate captures for the Core Ultra 9 275HX and RTX 4060 Mobile combination in Lockdown Protocol — the measuredFps dataset is empty and dataIsMeasured is flagged false. Because of this, no exact FPS figures at any resolution can be stated, and no preset can be certified as the highest setting that holds the playable threshold of 60 FPS at a given resolution.

What the data does support is a strong directional verdict. The combo's rank of 1 among 3714 tested combinations means every other CPU/GPU pairing in the database for this game is ranked below it. The playable threshold used by the database is 60 FPS; any resolution and preset guidance for this pairing should therefore be read as "expect the ceiling," not "expect compromise." When measured captures are added to the database, the best-settings-per-resolution table should populate from the highest preset that sustains an average at or above 60 FPS at each resolution, per the database's standard methodology.

How This Combo Ranks

Rank 1 of 3714. That is the entire competitive picture in one line: no other tested combination in the Lockdown Protocol results database outperforms the Core Ultra 9 275HX plus RTX 4060 Mobile.

The margin of superiority is driven primarily by the processor. The Core Ultra 9 275HX sits in the 94th percentile versus all CPUs, with an average benchmark score of 67469. Its nearest rivals cluster remarkably tight around it — the Intel Xeon w5-3525 at 67673 (a delta of -0.3 percent), the AMD EPYC 4484PX at 67822 (-0.5 percent), the AMD Ryzen Threadripper PRO 5955WX at 67868 (-0.6 percent), and the Intel Xeon 6515P at 67006 (+0.7 percent). Those deltas mean the 275HX trades blows within roughly one percent of workstation-class silicon, an elite neighborhood for a mobile part.

The GPU contributes the volume of the rendering work. The RTX 4060 Mobile holds an average benchmark score of 22729 and sits in the 67th percentile versus all GPUs — a solid upper-middle position rather than an elite one. Its rivals include the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2080 at 22895 (-0.7 percent), the AMD Radeon RX 7700 XT at 22549 (+0.8 percent), the Intel Arc B580 at 23021 (-1.3 percent), and the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 Mobile at 22435 (+1.3 percent). In short: a top-tier mobile CPU mated to a mid-range-adjacent mobile GPU, and the combination still tops the entire board for this title.

Measured FPS Breakdown

There are no measured frame-rate numbers to report. The measuredFps array for Lockdown Protocol on this combination is empty, and the dataIsMeasured flag is set to false, which means the database's ranking of 1 of 3714 is derived from its component-score model rather than from captured average, minimum, and maximum frame rates at each resolution and preset.

This distinction matters for interpretation. Component-model rankings answer "which hardware should be fastest"; measured captures answer "what FPS did it actually deliver." The former exists for this combo; the latter does not. No average, minimum, or maximum FPS values — at any resolution, at any preset — can be cited without fabrication, and this analysis declines to invent them. Users should treat the ranking and percentile data in the sections above and below as the complete evidence base for this pairing's standing.

Similar Performance Alternatives

Substituting hardware near either component's score should produce comparable behavior in Lockdown Protocol, since the rivals sit within a narrow band.

On the CPU side, four substitutes fall within one percent of the Core Ultra 9 275HX's average score of 67469: the Intel Xeon w5-3525 (67673, -0.3 percent), the AMD EPYC 4484PX (67822, -0.5 percent), the AMD Ryzen Threadripper PRO 5955WX (67868, -0.6 percent), and the Intel Xeon 6515P (67006, +0.7 percent). Any of these, paired with comparable graphics, should deliver effectively indistinguishable processor-side performance in this game. Note that all four are workstation-class parts; the 275HX's presence among them is a statement about its multi-threaded throughput — 24 cores and 24 threads on the Arrow Lake-HX architecture at 3 nm — rather than its market segment.

On the GPU side, the equivalents cluster equally tightly around 22729: the RTX 2080 (22895, -0.7 percent), the Radeon RX 7700 XT (22549, +0.8 percent), the Arc B580 (23021, -1.3 percent), and the RTX 5060 Mobile (22435, +1.3 percent). A system built around the RX 7700 XT or Arc B580 with a CPU from the list above would be the closest desktop-style analog to this laptop pairing. The RTX 5060 Mobile is the most direct like-for-like alternative for those staying in mobile form factors — it scores within 1.3 percent of the 4060 Mobile, meaning generational successor and predecessor effectively tie in the database's aggregate scoring.

CPU and GPU Roles

The asymmetry in percentiles — the CPU at 94 versus the GPU at 67 — is the key to understanding where this combo's performance ceiling comes from and where its balance point lies.

Lockdown Protocol is an FPS title released in March 2024, and the pairing's rank-1 standing with a merely upper-mid GPU indicates the game's results in the database reward CPU-side capability heavily. The Core Ultra 9 275HX brings exceptional single-threaded credentials for a mobile chip: a Cinebench R15 single-core score of 334, R20 single-core of 2809, R23 single-core of 2204, Geekbench single-core of 2458, and PassMark single-thread of 4713, alongside a 5.40 GHz boost clock. Its multi-threaded results — Cinebench R23 multi-core of 35589, Geekbench multi-core of 20795, PassMark multithread of 55759 — clear any in-game background load with ease.

The RTX 4060 Mobile's raw output is respectable but not heroic: 11.61 TFLOPS FP32, 3072 shading units, 24 RT cores, 96 tensor cores, and 256 GB/s of memory bandwidth across a 128-bit bus feeding 8 GB of GDDR6. That memory subsystem is the component most likely to matter as resolution climbs, since bandwidth and capacity are the classic constraints at higher settings and resolutions. Without measured per-resolution scaling data for this game, the database cannot quantify the GPU-bound crossover point; qualitatively, expect CPU headroom to remain abundant at every resolution while the GPU becomes the limiting factor first, and the 67th-percentile GPU will encounter that limit sooner than a top-tier card would.

FAQ

Q: Can the Core Ultra 9 275HX and RTX 4060 Mobile run Lockdown Protocol?

A: Yes. The combination ranks 1 of 3714 tested combos in the database for this game — the highest-standing pairing on record.

Q: What FPS does it achieve?

A: No measured FPS figures are recorded for this combo in Lockdown Protocol; the database's measuredFps data is empty and dataIsMeasured is false. The rank-1 placement comes from component-score modeling, not captured frame rates.

Q: What frame rate counts as playable?

A: The database's playable threshold is 60 FPS. Any settings recommendation for this combo should be validated against that bar once measured data is available.

Q: Which component matters more?

A: The CPU. The 275HX sits in the 94th percentile of all CPUs while the RTX 4060 Mobile sits in the 67th percentile of all GPUs, and the pairing still tops the rankings — indicating the game rewards the processor's strength while the GPU is the natural ceiling as resolution rises.

Q: What hardware would perform similarly?

A: On CPU, the Intel Xeon w5-3525, AMD EPYC 4484PX, AMD Ryzen Threadripper PRO 5955WX, and Intel Xeon 6515P all land within one percent of the 275HX's average score. On GPU, the RTX 2080, Radeon RX 7700 XT, Arc B580, and RTX 5060 Mobile all land within 1.3 percent of the 4060 Mobile's score.

Q: When was this hardware released, and when did the game launch?

A: Lockdown Protocol launched in March 2024; the RTX 4060 Mobile in January 2023; and the Core Ultra 9 275HX in January 2025 — meaning this CPU arrived well after the game and brings a full generation of headroom to it.
