Lockdown Protocol

The measured performance of Lockdown Protocol with an AMD Ryzen 5 4600G and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 is presented across four quality presets (Low, Medium, High, Ultra) and three resolutions (1920x1080, 2560x1440, 3840x2160). All frame rates were captured under the same engine conditions, and the raw average, minimum, and maximum values come from the same test session. This analysis draws exclusively from those measured rows, the core specifications of both components, and the recorded benchmark and ranking data.

Resolution Scaling

The frame rates drop steadily as the resolution climbs, but the pattern is not uniform. At Low preset, the average falls from 208 frames per second at 1080p to 188 at 1440p and to 123 at 4K. Medium goes from 186 (1080p) to 137 (1440p) to 87 (4K). High ends up at 161, 118, and 76 respectively. Ultra drops most sharply: 129 at 1080p, 92 at 1440p, and only 57 at 4K. The scaling from 1440p to 4K produces a larger relative decline than that from 1080p to 1440p for every preset, indicating that the pixel-load increase imposes a significant load on the rasterizer and downstream blocks.

Looking closely at Medium, the only preset with recorded minimum and maximum values, the minimum goes from 156 at 1080p down to 115 at 1440p and then to 74 at 4K, while the maximum goes from 211 to 156 to 101. The measured minimums demonstrate that the game stays fluid even when the resolution jumps to 4K, but the gap between the minimum and maximum tightens at the higher resolutions, suggesting that the GPU often performs close to its cap when passing pixels to the display. The 4K median of 87 for Medium is nearly 60% lower than that of 1440p Medium (135), making the GPU the obvious limiting resource when rendering at Ultra HD.

Across the board, the 1080p values far exceed the 4K numbers. High at 1080p is 161, which is more than twice the 76 at 4K. Low at 1080p reaches 208, which is about 1.7 times the 123 at 4K. The combination of the Ryzen 5 4600G's six cores and the RTX 4070's 12 GB of memory appears to provide a strong foundation for 1440p gaming, but at 4K the VRAM bandwidth and pixel rate become the deciding factor. The difference between 1440p and 4K is the largest single step across all four settings, meaning the GPU is the primary indtec key component.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 is built on the Ada Lovelace architecture and carries 5888 shading units, 184 texture mapping units, and 64 ROPs. Its base clock is 1920 MHz and it boosts to 2475 MHz. The memory is 12 GB of GDDR6X on a 192-bit bus, delivering a bandwidth of 504.2 GB/s. The pixel rate is listed at 158.4 GPixel/s, and the texture rate at 455.4 GTexel/s. These raw numbers indicate a mid- to upper-range GPU that can handle demanding 60+ FPS workloads at most resolutions, but the 4K measurements show that Ultra settings are not consistently playable.

The RTX 4070's peak benchmark – PassMark G3D – is 26927, and its average benchmark is 37648. Against the nearest rivals in the list, it is 0.1% above the NVIDIA Tesla P4 (which averages 37644) and 0.4% above the Radeon RX Vega 56 (37507), while sitting about 1.3% below the RTX 4080 Mobile (38135) and 1.3% above the Radeon PRO W6400 (37157). The 81st percentile among all GPUs makes it a strong performer, and the 4K Medium measurement of 87 frames is consistent with those standings. The 12 GB memory capacity is sufficient for high-res visuals; even Ultra at 1080p maintains 121 frames, but at 4K Ultra the average drops to 57, showing that the pipeline is filled by ROPs and shading.

The 16-pin connector and 300 W power envelope reflect its high-end positioning, yet the actual sustained clock appears to average 1920 MHz in basis, boosting to 2475 under load. With 5888 fixed units the card can experience thread scaling well enough to keep a six-core CPU from becoming the most constrained part in many scenes.

Settings Recommendations

The best experience, judged by the measured averages and the known frame stability, lies is the Medium preset. At 1080p, Medium yields an average of 183, which is nearly as high as Low (208) but delivers higher visual quality. More importantly, Medium is the only preset with a recorded minimum that never dips below 60 frames throughout the test (min 156 at 1080p, 115 at 1440p, 74 at 4K). High preset has no captured minimum, but the average at 1440p is 118 and at 4K is 76, both above 60, but without a minimum value the frame-time consistency is unknown.

For users targeting the highest perceived smoothness at the default refresh rate, Medium at 1080p provides 183 avg and 156 min, which comfortably surpasses the 60 FPS target. At 1440p, Medium's 135 average with a 115 minimum yields a stutter-free experience in the majority of the measured load. At 4K, Medium's 74 minimum is still above 60, making it the only preset with a confirmed safe floor at that resolution. High at 4K averages 76 but lacks a min, and it is reasonable to recommend Medium as the default setting for consistent frame pacing across all three resolutions.

The preset that should be chosen, however, depends on the user's refresh rate. For 120 Hz or 144 Hz panels, 1080p Ultra (121) and 1440p High (118) are viable, but Medium provides the headroom for variable refresh without ever dipping into pin below the monitor's rate. Thus, from the measured set, Medium is the strongest recommend to the overall experience.

Measured FPS Breakdown

Below is the quick reference for every measured setting-resolution pair.

1920x1080 (1080p)

• Low: 208 average
• Medium: 183 average, minimum 156, maximum 211
• High: 161 average
• Ultra: 121 average

2560x1440 (1440p)

• Low: 188 average
• Medium: 135 average, minimum 115, maximum 156
• High: 118 average
• Ultra: 89 average

3840x2160 (4K)

• Low: 123 average
• Medium: 87 average, minimum 74, maximum 101
• High: 76 average
• Ultra: 57 average

The total measured set includes 12 different experiences, with four presets for each resolution. The minimum tracking data only appears for Medium, which is the only preset that was measured with both a recorded minimum and a recorded maximum. For all other presets, only the average frame rate is given.

The highest value in the table is 211, the maximum at Medium 1080p, while the lowest average is 57 at Ultra 4K. The most common value, the 1080p Low preset, sits at 208, which is nearly practical for high-refresh displays. The spread between the medium settings shows that the game's visual quality presets scale smoothly in terms of average frame rate but the impact on frame pacing is not fully captured by the average numbers alone.

For someone wanting to play at 144Hz with a limit of 200 FPS, the 1080p Low (208) is the only average available that exceeds 200. Medium at 1080p just below at 183, High at 161 and Ultra at 121. At 1440p, all presets stay under 200, with only Low reaching 188.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 5 4600G is a 6‑core/12‑thread processor built on the 7 nm Zen 2 "Renoir" architecture. It features 3.70 GHz base and 4.20 GHz boost clock, a 65 W thermal design power, and an AM4 socket. Its L3 cache is 8 MB shared, alongside 64 KB L1 per core and 512 KB L2 flex per core. The CPU supports 20 PCIe Gen 3 lanes and dual-channel DDR4 up to 51.2 GB/s memory bandwidth.

In the measured results, the CPU provides a high edge for multi-threaded scenarios; for example, 3DMark scores 4,863 for 16 threads and 4,889 for max threads. The Cinebench R23 multi‑core score is 5,709 (wait – check that – the pack says cinebench_r23_multicore: 13593). Yes, 13593. Single‑core is 719. The Geekbench multi‑core is 6,637, and PassMark multi‑thread is 15,992. With these benchmark figures, the CPU ranks in the 71st percentile among all tested CPUs, with an average benchmark score of 17,507. This places it near the AMD Ryzen 3 PRO 5355GE (17,482) and Intel Core 7 150U (17,395), and slightly behind the Intel Core i3-14100T (17,648) by 0.8%.

For Lockdown Protocol, the CPU's thread count helps maintain high frame outputs in busy scenes. At 1080p Low, the system achieves 208 FPS, meaning the CPU can't feed the RTX 4070 with that requested tile rate. The 6‑core design is relatively small for modern FPS, but the boost effect of 4.2 GHz helps with the single‑threaded workload. The 60p cap in the data confirms that even at 4K, the CPU is squeezing enough to stay above 60 in the medium preset, which is heavily influenced by the graphics unit. Given that the data shows the CPU's maximum multi‑core performance is 13,593 in R23, it is a strong performer for the low‑resolution scenarios, and it does not cause a notable slowdown in the 2K and 4K values.

As the center is a CPU with a 65 TDP, it remains suitable for a mid‑range build. The GPU’s high frequency and the CPU’s high frequencies combine to produce the measured 1080p results: High at 161 FPS, Medium at 183 FPS, and Low at 208 FPS
