Lockdown Protocol

The AMD Ryzen 5 5600G paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 Ti 8 GB lands at rank 697 out of 1637 tested combos in Lockdown Protocol. That places this setup firmly in the upper-middle tier of the database, outperforming roughly 57% of all recorded combinations. The data shows this is a balanced pairing where neither component becomes a consistent bottleneck, but the results also reveal clear ceilings at the highest settings and resolutions.

How This Combo Ranks

At rank 697 of 1637, this combo sits just above the median line, which is a respectable position for a mid-range pairing. The ranking reflects a system that can handle competitive play at high framerates but will not top leaderboards for absolute visual fidelity. In practical terms, this means the combo is better suited for players who prioritize smoothness over maximum detail, especially at 1080p and 1440p. The percentile placement suggests that while many higher-end combos exist, this configuration still beats a substantial portion of the field. The gap between this combo and top-tier systems is most visible at 4K Ultra, where the average FPS drops below the 60 FPS threshold. However, at lower settings, the combo climbs well above 100 FPS even at 4K, indicating that the hardware has headroom when graphical load is reduced.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 5 5600G brings 6 cores and 12 threads to this pairing, with a base clock of 3.90 GHz and a boost clock of 4.40 GHz. This is a Zen 3 architecture part on the AM4 socket, built on a 7 nm process. The CPU’s benchmark results show a single-thread score of 872 in 3DMark and a multi-thread score of 5451 in the 16-thread test, with Cinebench R23 multi-core reaching 16758 points. The CPU’s percentile rank of 78 among all tested CPUs indicates it performs above average for general compute tasks.

In Lockdown Protocol, an FPS title, the CPU’s role is to feed the GPU with enough draw calls and game logic updates. The data shows that at 1080p Low, the combo hits 220.6 FPS, which suggests the CPU can push frames well beyond standard 144 Hz displays. However, at 4K Ultra, the average drops to 47.1 FPS, indicating that the GPU becomes the limiting factor at that resolution. The CPU’s L3 cache is 16 MB, and it supports dual-channel DDR4 memory with 51.2 GB/s bandwidth. The nearest rival for the CPU is the Intel Core i7-11600H, which scores 19949 on average, a delta of just 0.2% from the 5600G’s 19983 average. This means the CPU is not a weak link for this game; it has ample single-thread performance for FPS mechanics.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 Ti 8 GB is the star of this combo, with 8 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 128-bit bus delivering 288.0 GB/s of bandwidth. The GPU clocks at 2310 MHz base and 2535 MHz boost, with memory running at 2250 MHz or 18 Gbps effective. It has 4352 shading units, 136 TMUs, and 48 ROPs, with 34 RT cores and 136 tensor cores. The GPU’s FP32 performance is 22.06 TFLOPS, and its 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 2913 places it at the 17th percentile among all GPUs.

This percentile is low, but it reflects the GPU’s position against all tested graphics cards, many of which are far more expensive. The nearest rival is the NVIDIA GeForce GT 555M with an identical score of 2913, a 0% delta, which is a legacy mobile part — that comparison underscores how benchmark scores can mask real-world differences in feature support and driver maturity. The 8 GB VRAM is sufficient for this game at 1080p and 1440p, as evidenced by the FPS data, but at 4K Ultra the GPU’s compute load becomes the bottleneck. The GPU’s TDP is 160 W with a suggested 450 W power supply, and it uses a single 16-pin connector. The Ada Lovelace architecture supports DirectX 12 Ultimate, which the game can leverage for modern rendering features.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the combo delivers its best results. Low settings produce 220.6 FPS average, Medium hits 158 FPS, High reaches 134.6 FPS, and Ultra drops to 103.1 FPS. This means even at Ultra, the system easily exceeds 100 FPS, which is ideal for high-refresh-rate monitors. The scaling from Low to Ultra is a 53% reduction in framerate, indicating that the GPU is handling most of the graphical load.

At 2560x1440, the framerates remain strong. Low settings yield 164.1 FPS, Medium 112.9 FPS, High 97.4 FPS, and Ultra 73.6 FPS. The drop from 1080p to 1440p is roughly 25% across all settings, which is typical for a resolution increase. Ultra at 1440p still clears 70 FPS, making it playable for most users, though competitive players may prefer lower settings for higher refresh rates.

At 3840x2160, the combo struggles at higher settings. Low settings produce 104.4 FPS, Medium drops to 76.5 FPS, High falls to 63 FPS, and Ultra bottoms out at 47.1 FPS. The 4K Ultra result is below the 60 FPS threshold, which will result in noticeable stutter on standard 60 Hz displays. However, the 4K Low result of 104.4 FPS shows that the combo can handle 4K gaming if the user is willing to sacrifice visual quality. The gap between 1080p Ultra and 4K Ultra is 56 FPS, highlighting the GPU’s memory bandwidth and compute limits at higher resolutions.

FAQ

Q: Can this combo run Lockdown Protocol at 4K?

A: Yes, but only at Low settings, where the average FPS is 104.4. At Medium it drops to 76.5 FPS, at High to 63 FPS, and at Ultra it falls to 47.1 FPS, which is below the 60 FPS target.

Q: What is the best resolution for competitive play?

A: At 1920x1080 with Low settings, the combo achieves 220.6 FPS, which is ideal for high-refresh-rate monitors. Even at 1080p Ultra, the system hits 103.1 FPS, so competitive players can choose a balance between clarity and framerate.

Q: How does the CPU compare to its nearest rival?

A: The Ryzen 5 5600G has an average benchmark score of 19983, while the Intel Core i7-11600H scores 19949, a difference of only 0.2%. This places them at near-parity for compute performance.

Q: What is the GPU’s percentile ranking?

A: The RTX 4060 Ti 8 GB ranks at the 17th percentile among all tested GPUs, with a 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 2913. This is a low percentile because the database includes many higher-end cards, but the in-game results show solid performance.

Q: How does the combo rank overall?

A: The combo ranks 697 out of 1637 tested combinations, placing it above the median. This indicates a strong mid-range configuration that outperforms most budget builds but trails high-end systems.

Settings Recommendations

For the best experience per the measured rows, the sweet spot is 1920x1080 with High settings, delivering 134.6 FPS. This provides a strong balance between visual fidelity and framerate, easily supporting 120 Hz displays. If the goal is maximum frame rates for competitive play, 1080p Low at 220.6 FPS is the clear choice, though the visual downgrade is noticeable.

At 2560x1440, Medium settings at 112.9 FPS offer the best compromise. High settings at 97.4 FPS also work well, but Medium provides additional headroom for frame-time consistency. Ultra at 1440p drops to 73.6 FPS, which is still playable but less ideal for fast-paced FPS action.

At 3840x2160, users should stick to Low settings at 104.4 FPS for a playable experience. Medium at 76.5 FPS is acceptable for slower gameplay, but High at 63 FPS and Ultra at 47.1 FPS fall below the smoothness threshold for most players. The data indicates that this combo is best used at 1080p or 1440p, where it delivers high framerates across all settings. For 4K, the recommendation is to prioritize framerate over fidelity, as the GPU’s performance ceiling is reached at Medium settings.
