Lockdown Protocol

The AMD Ryzen 5 5600G paired with the AMD Radeon RX 6750 XT delivers a highly capable 1080p and 1440p experience in Lockdown Protocol, with the data showing a clear performance hierarchy across its four quality presets. At 1920x1080, the combination achieves a commanding 201.7 FPS on Low settings, while the demanding Ultra preset still produces a smooth 92.9 FPS average. The measured results indicate that this pairing is well-balanced for high-refresh-rate gaming, though 4K Ultra pushes the system to its limits at 46.4 FPS.

FAQ

*Q: What is the best resolution for this CPU and GPU combination in Lockdown Protocol?*

A: The data indicates 2560x1440 as the sweet spot. At this resolution, the High preset delivers 89.5 FPS and Medium reaches 102.6 FPS, both comfortably above 60 FPS, while Low hits 149.3 FPS for high-refresh-rate monitors.

Q: How does the Ultra preset compare to High at 1080p?

A: At 1920x1080, the Ultra preset yields 92.9 FPS, which is 25.7% lower than the High preset's 125 FPS. The gap suggests Ultra imposes significant additional rendering load over High.

Q: Is the RX 6750 XT sufficient for 4K gaming in this title?

A: The data shows 4K performance is borderline. At 3840x2160, High settings produce 58.5 FPS, which is playable, but Ultra drops to 46.4 FPS. Low settings at 4K reach 95.5 FPS, indicating the GPU can handle 4K if settings are moderated.

Q: What is the performance difference between Low and Medium settings at 1440p?

A: At 2560x1440, Low achieves 149.3 FPS while Medium drops to 102.6 FPS. This represents a 31.3% reduction in frame rate when moving from Low to Medium, showing Medium is significantly more demanding.

Q: How does the CPU's single-thread performance influence the gameplay experience?

A: The Ryzen 5 5600G scores 2365 in Cinebench R23 single-core and 872 in 3DMark single-thread, which supports high frame rates in FPS titles. The 1080p Low result of 201.7 FPS suggests the CPU is not bottlenecking at lower settings.

Q: What is the frame rate drop from 1440p to 4K at High settings?

A: High settings at 2560x1440 produce 89.5 FPS, while 3840x2160 High yields 58.5 FPS. This is a 34.6% reduction in performance when moving up to 4K, indicating the GPU is the primary limiting factor at higher resolutions.

Settings Recommendations

The measured FPS data suggests that the Medium preset provides the most balanced experience across all three resolutions. At 1920x1080, Medium achieves 143.3 FPS, which is only 29% below the Low preset's 201.7 FPS but still well above the 60 FPS threshold for smooth gameplay. At 2560x1440, Medium delivers 102.6 FPS, providing excellent fluidity without the steep performance penalty seen with Ultra. Even at 3840x2160, Medium maintains 70.1 FPS, which remains playable on standard 60Hz displays.

For users prioritizing maximum visual fidelity, the High preset is the recommended alternative. High at 1080p produces 125 FPS, which is sufficient for most high-refresh-rate monitors, and at 1440p it sustains 89.5 FPS. However, at 4K, High dips to 58.5 FPS, which may introduce noticeable frame pacing on 60Hz panels. The Ultra preset is only advisable for 1080p gaming, where it still achieves 92.9 FPS, but its 67.1 FPS at 1440p and 46.4 FPS at 4K make it impractical for higher resolutions.

Resolution Scaling

The resolution scaling data reveals a clear trend: frame rates drop substantially as resolution increases, with the GPU becoming the dominant bottleneck at higher pixel counts. Moving from 1920x1080 to 2560x1440 at High settings reduces performance from 125 FPS to 89.5 FPS, a 28.4% decrease. The transition from 1440p to 4K at High settings is even more pronounced, with the frame rate falling from 89.5 FPS to 58.5 FPS, representing a 34.6% loss.

The Low preset shows the most dramatic scaling behavior. At 1080p, Low achieves 201.7 FPS, which drops to 149.3 FPS at 1440p (a 26% reduction) and further to 95.5 FPS at 4K (a 36% reduction from 1440p). This pattern indicates that while the CPU can feed high frame rates at lower resolutions, the GPU's rendering capacity is the limiting factor as pixel count increases. The Ultra preset exhibits the steepest relative decline, falling from 92.9 FPS at 1080p to 46.4 FPS at 4K, a total reduction of 50%. This suggests that Ultra settings place an outsized load on the GPU's compute resources.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the data shows a complete performance ladder across all four presets. Low settings produce 201.7 FPS, Medium drops to 143.3 FPS, High achieves 125 FPS, and Ultra settles at 92.9 FPS. The step from Low to Medium represents a 29% reduction, while the gap between Medium and High is a modest 12.8%. The most significant jump is from High to Ultra, where the frame rate falls by 25.7%, suggesting Ultra enables substantially heavier rendering features.

At 2560x1440, the measured results follow a similar pattern but with lower absolute values. Low reaches 149.3 FPS, Medium achieves 102.6 FPS, High produces 89.5 FPS, and Ultra delivers 67.1 FPS. The relative differences are comparable to 1080p, with Ultra being 25% slower than High. At 3840x2160, the frame rates compress further: Low hits 95.5 FPS, Medium maintains 70.1 FPS, High produces 58.5 FPS, and Ultra drops to 46.4 FPS. The gap between Low and Medium at 4K is 26.6%, while High to Ultra represents a 20.7% reduction.

GPU Role

The AMD Radeon RX 6750 XT is the primary driver of frame rate scaling across resolutions. With 12 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 192-bit bus delivering 432.0 GB/s of bandwidth, the card has ample memory capacity for high-resolution textures. The GPU's boost clock of 2600 MHz and game clock of 2495 MHz support its 13.31 TFLOPS of FP32 compute performance. The data indicates that the GPU's rendering throughput is the limiting factor at 4K, where even the Low preset cannot exceed 95.5 FPS.

The GPU's benchmark scores place it in the 79th percentile among all GPUs, with an average benchmark score of 35327. Its nearest rival, the AMD Radeon RX 5600M, scores 35264, representing a 0.2% advantage for the RX 6750 XT. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 scores 35787, which is 1.3% higher, while the AMD Radeon 880M scores 35646, a 0.9% advantage. These close margins suggest the RX 6750 XT is competitively positioned in synthetic benchmarks, and the measured FPS data confirms it delivers strong real-world performance in Lockdown Protocol.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 5 5600G provides the computational foundation for this gaming combination. With 6 cores and 12 threads running at a base clock of 3.90 GHz and boost clock of 4.40 GHz, the CPU demonstrates solid single-threaded performance that is critical for FPS games. Its Cinebench R23 single-core score of 2365 and 3DMark single-thread score of 872 indicate respectable per-core throughput. The 16 MB of L3 cache helps reduce memory latency during gameplay.

The CPU's multi-threaded capabilities are less critical for Lockdown Protocol but still relevant for background tasks. Its Cinebench R23 multicore score of 16758 and Geekbench multicore score of 7693 place it in the 78th percentile among all CPUs, with an average benchmark score of 19983. Its nearest rival, the Intel Core i7-11600H, scores 19949 (a 0.2% deficit), while the Intel Core i7-11800H scores 20024 (a 0.2% advantage). The data suggests that at 1080p with Low settings, the CPU can sustain 201.7 FPS, indicating it is not a bottleneck at lower resolutions. However, as resolution increases and GPU load rises, the CPU's role diminishes, with frame rates becoming increasingly GPU-limited.
