Lockdown Protocol

The AMD Ryzen 5 5600GT and AMD Radeon RX 580 combination delivers a playable but constrained experience in Lockdown Protocol, a 2024-released FPS. The data shows a system that can handle 1080p gaming comfortably at medium settings, but which struggles as resolution and graphical demands increase. This analysis breaks down the measured performance figures to explain exactly where this pairing excels and where it falls short.

CPU Role — cores, clocks, and how they relate to this game's results

The AMD Ryzen 5 5600GT is a 6-core, 12-thread processor built on the Zen 3 architecture (Cezanne codename) using TSMC's 7 nm process. It operates with a base clock of 3.60 GHz and a boost clock of 4.60 GHz, with a 65 W TDP. The CPU's cache configuration includes 64 KB of L1 per core, 512 KB of L2 per core, and a 16 MB L3 cache. Memory support is DDR4 via a dual-channel bus, providing 51.2 GB/s of bandwidth.

In synthetic benchmarks, this CPU shows balanced single-thread and multi-thread capabilities. Its 3DMark single-thread score is 913, while the 16-thread score reaches 5523, and the max-thread score hits 5554. Cinebench R23 results show 2438 for single-core and 17272 for multi-core. The PassMark single-thread score is 3348, with a multithread score of 20325. These figures place the Ryzen 5 5600GT at the 78th percentile among all CPUs.

When looking at the nearest rivals, the Ryzen 5 5600GT's average benchmark score is 20740, which is essentially identical to the Intel Core i7-10700 (score 20746, delta 0%). It is 0.3% ahead of the AMD Ryzen 5 5600X (score 20680) and 0.3% behind the Intel Core i5-12490F (score 20794). This indicates that the CPU is firmly in the mid-range tier, offering performance that is competitive with several other established desktop processors.

For Lockdown Protocol, an FPS title, the single-thread performance is often the primary driver of frame pacing. The Ryzen 5 5600GT's 3DMark single-thread score of 913 and PassMark single-thread score of 3348 suggest it has sufficient headroom to feed the RX 580 in most scenarios. However, the CPU's 16 MB L3 cache is a modest size for modern gaming, and while it does not bottleneck at lower resolutions, the measured FPS data indicates that the GPU becomes the limiting factor as resolution scales up.

GPU Role — VRAM, clocks, and how they relate to this game's results

The AMD Radeon RX 580 is built on the Polaris 20 chip using GCN 4.0 architecture and a 14 nm process from GlobalFoundries. It features 8 GB of GDDR5 memory on a 256-bit bus, delivering 256.0 GB/s of bandwidth. The GPU clock speeds are 1257 MHz base and 1340 MHz boost, with memory running at 2000 MHz (8 Gbps effective). The card has 2304 shading units, 144 TMUs, and 32 ROPs, with a pixel rate of 42.88 GPixel/s and a texture rate of 193.0 GTexel/s. FP32 performance is rated at 6.175 TFLOPS.

In GPU benchmarks, the RX 580 posts a PassMark G3D score of 8813 and a PassMark G2D score of 769. Its 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score is 1005. The GPU's average benchmark score is 13559, placing it at the 53rd percentile among all GPUs. Its nearest rivals include the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 570 (score 13564, delta 0%) and the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 950 (score 13549, delta 0.1%), showing that the RX 580 sits at a competitive performance level with those older cards.

The 8 GB VRAM is a significant asset for Lockdown Protocol, as it allows the card to handle high-resolution textures without running into memory capacity issues. However, the memory bandwidth of 256.0 GB/s and the modest FP32 throughput limit the card's ability to maintain high frame rates at demanding settings. The measured FPS data confirms that the RX 580 is the primary bottleneck in this pairing, particularly at 4K resolution where the GPU struggles to keep up with the rendering load.

Resolution Scaling — how FPS drops from 1080p to 4K and what it says about the limiting component

The measured FPS data reveals a clear pattern of performance degradation as resolution increases. At 1080p with Low settings, the system achieves 83.1 FPS. This drops to 61.4 FPS at 1440p and further to 38 FPS at 4K. This 54% reduction in frame rate from 1080p to 4K at Low settings indicates that the GPU is the primary limiting component, as the CPU's workload does not scale significantly with resolution.

At Medium settings, the frame rates are 62.6 FPS at 1080p, 45 FPS at 1440p, and 29.5 FPS at 4K. The drop from 1080p to 4K is 53%, again pointing to GPU-bound behavior. High settings show 51.3 FPS at 1080p, 36.9 FPS at 1440p, and 24.8 FPS at 4K, a 52% reduction. Ultra settings are the most demanding, with 37.9 FPS at 1080p, 29.6 FPS at 1440p, and 16.6 FPS at 4K, a 56% drop.

The consistent percentage drop across all settings confirms that the RX 580's rendering capabilities—specifically its 6.175 TFLOPS FP32 throughput and 256.0 GB/s memory bandwidth—are the constraining factors. The CPU's performance remains relatively stable across resolutions, so the FPS decline is entirely attributable to the GPU's inability to maintain the same level of output as pixel count increases. The 4K Ultra result of 16.6 FPS is particularly telling, as it demonstrates that this combo is not suited for high-fidelity 4K gaming.

How This Combo Ranks — use comboRankInGame vs other tested combos

In the database of tested combinations for Lockdown Protocol, this specific pairing of the AMD Ryzen 5 5600GT and AMD Radeon RX 580 ranks 1540 out of 1637 total combos. This places it in the bottom 6% of all systems tested, indicating that it is a below-average performer for this particular game.

The rank of 1540 reflects the combined limitations of both components. While the CPU sits at the 78th percentile among all processors, the GPU's 53rd percentile ranking drags the overall performance down. The nearest rival comparisons for the GPU—such as the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 570 and GTX 950—suggest that the RX 580 is capable of running the game, but not at high frame rates or high settings.

This low ranking means that many other CPU-GPU combinations will deliver significantly better performance in Lockdown Protocol. The data indicates that the system is suitable for 1080p gaming at low-to-medium settings, but it will not provide a smooth experience at higher resolutions or with maximum graphical fidelity. The combo rank of 1540 out of 1637 is a clear signal that users should temper their expectations for this hardware pairing.

Measured FPS Breakdown — resolution by resolution, settings by settings, exact numbers

The following table summarizes the exact average FPS figures for each resolution and settings combination:

| Resolution | Settings | Avg FPS |

|------------|----------|---------|

| 3840x2160 | High | 24.8 |

| 3840x2160 | Low | 38 |

| 3840x2160 | Medium | 29.5 |

| 3840x2160 | Ultra | 16.6 |

| 2560x1440 | High | 36.9 |

| 2560x1440 | Low | 61.4 |

| 2560x1440 | Medium | 45 |

| 2560x1440 | Ultra | 29.6 |

| 1920x1080 | High | 51.3 |

| 1920x1080 | Low | 83.1 |

| 1920x1080 | Medium | 62.6 |

| 1920x1080 | Ultra | 37.9 |

At 1080p, the system achieves its best results. Low settings produce 83.1 FPS, which is smooth for an FPS title. Medium settings yield 62.6 FPS, still playable, while High settings drop to 51.3 FPS. Ultra settings at 1080p produce 37.9 FPS, which is below the ideal threshold for competitive play.

Moving to 1440p, the frame rates become more strained. Low settings manage 61.4 FPS, but Medium drops to 45 FPS, High to 36.9 FPS, and Ultra to 29.6 FPS. These numbers suggest that 1440p is only viable with reduced settings for a consistent experience.

At 4K, the performance is largely inadequate. Low settings produce 38 FPS, Medium 29.5 FPS, High 24.8 FPS, and Ultra 16.6 FPS. None of these results meet the 60 FPS target, and even 30 FPS is only achieved at Low settings. The data clearly indicates that 4K gaming is not a realistic option for this hardware combo.
