Lockdown Protocol

The Lockdown Protocol measured-FPS dataset for the AMD Ryzen 5 3600 paired with the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650 contains rows for Low, Medium, High, and Ultra at 1920x1080, 2560x1440, and 3840x2160. The dataIsMeasured flag is true, so these are measured results rather than estimates. This combo is ranked 1567 out of 1637 tested combinations. The results are strongly ordered by resolution and preset, with the highest average on Low at 1920x1080 and the lowest on Ultra at 3840x2160.

Resolution Scaling

At the High preset, the average FPS sequence across resolutions is 48.6, 33.3, and 24.3. At Low it is 73.8, 58.9, and 39. At Medium it is 55.5, 38.9, and 28.5. At Ultra it is 34.5, 26.7, and 15.6. Every preset loses ground as resolution increases, and the loss is visible at every step. The range of presets is 73.8 to 34.5 at 1920x1080, 58.9 to 26.7 at 2560x1440, and 39 to 15.6 at 3840x2160.

The 3840x2160 Low value of 39 is higher than the 1920x1080 Ultra value of 34.5, demonstrating that preset selection can offset a resolution increase in part of the measured range. At 3840x2160, only Low remains above 30; Medium, High, and Ultra are 28.5, 24.3, and 15.6. At 2560x1440, Low, Medium, and High stay above 30, with 58.9, 38.9, and 33.3, while Ultra is 26.7. At 1920x1080, all presets stay above 30, from Low at 73.8 down to Ultra at 34.5.

The consistency of these drops points to the GPU as the limiting component. The CPU is fixed across all rows, and the CPU’s percentile versus all CPUs is 76, whereas the GPU’s percentile versus all GPUs is 43. If the CPU were the bottleneck, the resolution sweep would not change the average FPS by the amounts shown here; the data instead shows a GPU-bound workload at higher resolutions.

GPU Role

The GPU is a NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650 with a TU117 die built on a 12 nm process. It has 896 shading units, 56 texture mapping units, and 32 ROPs. The base clock is 1485 MHz, the boost clock is 1665 MHz, and the memory clock is 2001 MHz, listed as 8 Gbps effective. Memory is 4 GB of GDDR5 on a 128-bit bus, with 128.1 GB/s bandwidth. The pixel rate is 53.28 GPixel/s, the texture rate is 93.24 GTexel/s, and FP32 compute is 2.984 TFLOPS. The card has a 75 W TDP and no auxiliary power connectors.

In the general GPU benchmark, it scores 8713, at the 43rd percentile among all GPUs. Its nearest rivals are the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 A Mobile (8746, deltaPct -0.4), the AMD Radeon 550X (8749, deltaPct -0.4), the NVIDIA Quadro P2200 (8671, deltaPct 0.5), and the AMD Radeon Pro WX 5100 (8761, deltaPct -0.5). Those rival scores are all close to the 8713 average, and the measured Lockdown Protocol results follow a similar pattern of mid-low positioning.

These specifications relate to the measured rows through the scaling pattern. The 4 GB frame buffer and 128.1 GB/s memory bandwidth are fixed during all tests. As resolution rises from 1920x1080 to 3840x2160, the frame buffer pressure and memory traffic increase, and the average FPS falls at every preset. The relationship is visible in the 1920x1080 Ultra result of 34.5 compared with the 3840x2160 Ultra result of 15.6, as well as in the 1920x1080 Low result of 73.8 compared with the 3840x2160 Low result of 39. The 75 W TDP and the absence of auxiliary power connectors place the card in a power-constrained class, and the measured results are consistent with that constraint.

How This Combo Ranks

The combo’s position in Lockdown Protocol is 1567 out of 1637 tested combos. This is at the lower end of the tested field. The CPU alone is comparatively stronger: the AMD Ryzen 5 3600 has 6 cores and 12 threads, with a base clock of 3.60 and a boost clock of 4.20, a 65 W TDP, and a 76th percentile rank among all CPUs. Its average benchmark score is 18129. Its nearest CPU rivals are the Intel Core i5-11400 (18150, deltaPct -0.1), AMD Ryzen 5 7535HS (18101, deltaPct 0.2), AMD Ryzen 5 1600 (18158, deltaPct -0.2), and AMD EPYC 9274F (18189, deltaPct -0.3).

The GPU side is weaker in relative terms: the GTX 1650 scores 8713 and sits at the 43rd percentile among all GPUs. Its nearest GPU rivals are the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 A Mobile (8746, deltaPct -0.4), the AMD Radeon 550X (8749, deltaPct -0.4), the NVIDIA Quadro P2200 (8671, deltaPct 0.5), and the AMD Radeon Pro WX 5100 (8761, deltaPct -0.5). The CPU’s nearest rival scores range from 18101 to 18189, while the GPU’s nearest rival scores range from 8671 to 8761.

The pairing of a 76th-percentile CPU with a 43rd-percentile GPU yields a combo near the bottom of the tested list for this game, which suggests the game’s frame rate is constrained more by the GPU than by the CPU. The measured FPS rows support this: at 1920x1080 the CPU can feed enough frames to reach 73.8 on Low, but at 3840x2160 Ultra the same CPU is paired with a GPU that only produces 15.6.

Settings Recommendations

With only average FPS as the measured quality metric, the recommendation set is straightforward. At 1920x1080, Low yields 73.8, Medium 55.5, High 48.6, and Ultra 34.5. Low is the choice for maximum FPS; Medium is the preset between Low and High, and it delivers 55.5, which is above High’s 48.6 but below Low’s 73.8. High remains above 30 at 48.6, and Ultra remains above 30 at 34.5.

At 2560x1440, Low yields 58.9, Medium 38.9, High 33.3, and Ultra 26.7. Low is the strongest recommendation because it is the only 1440p preset that exceeds the 1920x1080 Medium result of 55.5, and it does so by reaching 58.9. Medium and High are still above 30, while Ultra falls to 26.7. The Low preset at 2560x1440 is also higher than the High preset at 1920x1080, which is 48.6.

At 3840x2160, Low is 39, Medium 28.5, High 24.3, and Ultra 15.6. Low is the only preset above 30, so it is the only setting that should be considered for 4K if a 30 FPS average is the target. Overall, the best experience from the measured rows is 1920x1080 Medium: it delivers 55.5, which is a higher average than every 1440p preset except Low, and it keeps the visual preset above Low. Users who want the highest FPS should choose 1920x1080 Low at 73.8.

The dataset does not report min or max FPS for any row; only average FPS is present. The measured averages are consistent in ordering: for each resolution, Low is higher than Medium, Medium higher than High, and High higher than Ultra. The highest row is 1920x1080 Low at 73.8, and the lowest row is 3840x2160 Ultra at 15.6.
