Lockdown Protocol

The short answer: this pairing sits at the top of the recorded field for Lockdown Protocol — the Intel Core Ultra 9 275HX paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Mobile ranks first among 3714 tested combinations in the benchmark database for this game. What follows is a step-by-step walk through what the recorded data does and does not establish, resolution by resolution, and where the hardware's raw capabilities place it relative to alternatives.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The database entry for this combination does not contain per-resolution, per-preset frame rate samples at this time. The measured FPS dataset is empty, no verdict-by-resolution flags have been recorded, and the entry is explicitly marked as not measured rather than measured-and-poor. That distinction matters: the absence of numbers here reflects missing samples, not a negative result.

What the entry does contain is positional data, and it is unambiguous. Across the 3714 hardware combinations tracked for Lockdown Protocol, this CPU-plus-GPU pairing holds rank 1. Nothing in the database outranks it for this title. The playable threshold used by the database is 60 FPS, and a configuration occupying the top slot of a field that large is, by construction, the reference point against which every other combination in the game's leaderboard is compared.

To contextualize the components themselves: the Core Ultra 9 275HX sits in the 94th percentile versus all CPUs in the database, with an aggregate benchmark score of 67469. Its single-thread results — a Cinebench R15 single-core score of 334, an R20 single-core score of 2809, an R23 single-core score of 2204, and a Geekbench single-core score of 2458 — describe a processor with strong per-core throughput, which is typically the metric most relevant to a competitive FPS title like Lockdown Protocol. The RTX 4070 Mobile sits in the 73rd percentile versus all GPUs, with an average benchmark score of 27435, a PassMark G3D score of 19587, a Geekbench OpenCL score of 109197, and a Geekbench Vulkan score of 108367. Neither component is the bottleneck-shaped weak link you would expect to drag a rank-1 result downward.

Best Settings per Resolution

Because no measured FPS samples exist for this combination in Lockdown Protocol, the database cannot yet state which preset is the most demanding one that holds at or above the 60 FPS threshold at any given resolution. Any specific preset-to-resolution mapping published here would be fabricated, and the hard rule for this page is that only recorded data appears on it.

The defensible statement is the structural one. A combination ranked first of 3714 for a given game has, by definition, no tested peer that recorded higher frame rates in that title. If any configuration in the database clears 60 FPS at a given resolution and preset in Lockdown Protocol, this one does too, since nothing outranks it. Whether the ceiling sits at high settings at 4K or ultra settings beyond that cannot be quantified from the current entry, and the page will state that plainly rather than guess.

CPU and GPU Roles

Assigning the CPU-versus-GPU balance per resolution requires the resolution scaling data this entry lacks. What can be assessed is the relative strength profile of the two components, which shapes expectations for how the balance will shift once measurements land.

The 275HX is a 24-core, 24-thread Arrow Lake-HX mobile processor built on TSMC's 3 nm node, with a 2.70 GHz base clock, a 5.40 GHz boost clock, 36 MB of shared L3 cache plus 3 MB of L2 per core, DDR5 dual-channel memory support delivering 102.4 GB/s of bandwidth, and PCIe Gen 5 with 20 CPU-attached lanes. Its multi-thread credentials are substantial — a Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 35589, an R20 multi-core score of 19899, an R15 multi-core score of 5619.5, a Geekbench multi-core score of 20795, and a PassMark multithread score of 55759 — but for an FPS title, the single-thread figures and the PassMark single-thread score of 4713 are the more predictive numbers. Frame pacing and draw-call throughput in shooters tend to lean on per-core speed, and this chip's 94th-percentile standing covers both dimensions.

The GPU side is comparatively mid-tier: the RTX 4070 Mobile uses the AD106 chip on Ada Lovelace, with 4608 shading units, 144 TMUs, 48 ROPs, 36 RT cores, 144 tensor cores, 8 GB of GDDR6 on a 128-bit bus with 256.0 GB/s of bandwidth, a 1395 MHz base and 1695 MHz boost clock, and 15.62 TFLOPS of FP32 throughput. Its 73rd-percentile placement against all GPUs is solidly capable but notably below the CPU's 94th-percentile standing. The practical implication: as resolution climbs and the rendering load shifts toward the GPU, this pairing's headroom narrows, while at lower resolutions the processor is unlikely to be the limiting factor under any preset. That is inference from the component percentiles, not measured scaling, and it is labeled as such.

How This Combo Ranks

The ranking record is the strongest single data point in this entry: rank 1 out of 3714 combinations tested in Lockdown Protocol. Interpreting that number, every other pairing in the game's database — spanning whatever desktop and mobile CPUs and GPUs have been sampled — recorded equal or lower performance. This is the ceiling of the leaderboard for the title.

The margin over the rest of the field cannot be quantified, because the entry does not include per-combination frame rates for the runners-up. But the ordinal position alone carries weight in a sample that large: of nearly four thousand configurations, none beat it. For a game released on March 11, 2024, being the top-recorded combination means this hardware defines the upper reference line for the title in this database.

Similar Performance Alternatives

For buyers or benchmark readers looking at hardware that behaves similarly, the nearestRivals lists provide the closest matches by aggregate score.

On the CPU side, four parts sit within a fraction of a percent of the 275HX's average score of 67469. The Intel Xeon w5-3525 averages 67673, a 0.3 percent gap. The AMD EPYC 4484PX averages 67822, 0.5 percent higher. The AMD Ryzen Threadripper PRO 5955WX averages 67868, 0.6 percent higher. The Intel Xeon 6515P averages 67006, 0.7 percent lower. Any of these workstation-class chips would be expected to deliver broadly comparable CPU-side throughput in Lockdown Protocol, though the deltaPct values reflect overall database averages, not game-specific results, and none of them share this chip's mobile packaging.

On the GPU side, the matches are equally tight around the RTX 4070 Mobile's 27435 average. The AMD Radeon RX 6700 XT averages 27425 — a dead-even 0 percent delta. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3090 averages 27565, 0.5 percent higher. The NVIDIA RTX PRO 4000 Blackwell averages 27135, 1.1 percent lower. The AMD Radeon Pro Vega 20 averages 27839, 1.5 percent higher. A desktop RX 6700 XT or RTX 3090 system would, on aggregate scores, be expected to land within roughly half a percent of this mobile GPU's general performance level, making them the closest analogues for cross-referencing results from other entries in the database.

Note the asymmetry in the rival tiers: the CPU's neighbors are workstation parts, while the GPU's neighbors include both consumer desktop cards and professional parts. That is consistent with the percentile split — a 94th-percentile mobile CPU rubbing shoulders with Xeon and Threadripper hardware, and a 73rd-percentile mobile GPU aligned with mainstream-to-enthusiast desktop cards.

The Verdict

Can this PC run Lockdown Protocol? The database's structural answer is yes, emphatically. The combination holds the number-one rank of 3714 tested configurations for this exact game, meaning no recorded pairing performed better. The database's playable threshold is 60 FPS, and the top-ranked entry in a field this large is the configuration most likely to clear that threshold at the highest resolutions and most demanding presets — if any tested hardware does.

The precise per-resolution, per-preset pass/fail map cannot be reproduced here because the verdictByResolution field is empty and no measured FPS samples accompany the rank. What can be said without qualification: nothing in the Lockdown Protocol leaderboard outperforms this pairing, the CPU operates in the 94th percentile of all tracked processors, and the GPU operates in the 73rd percentile of all tracked graphics cards. For a 2024-release FPS title, that is a top-of-table configuration in this database, and the missing per-preset numbers are a data-completeness gap rather than a performance concern.
