Lockdown Protocol

Lockdown Protocol pairs the AMD Ryzen 5 5600GT with the AMD Radeon RX 6750 XT, a combination that lands in the middle of the performance pack for this FPS title. The benchmark data places this combo at rank 809 out of 1637 tested configurations, meaning it sits slightly above the median, offering a solid foundation for competitive play without pushing the extremes of the hardware spectrum. The measured frame rates across resolutions and settings reveal a system that is consistently capable, though the balance between CPU and GPU workload shifts noticeably as graphical demands change.

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, using the Cezanne codename on a 7 nm process. It operates with a base clock of 3.60 GHz and a boost clock of 4.60 GHz, figures that are directly relevant to how Lockdown Protocol utilizes processor resources. The CPU's benchmark scores provide context for its gaming behavior: a Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 17272 and a single-core score of 2438 indicate strong all-around throughput, while the 3DMark single-thread score of 913 suggests that per-core performance is adequate for the game's primary thread load.

In Lockdown Protocol, the CPU's role is most apparent at lower resolutions where the GPU is not the bottleneck. At 1080p Low settings, the combo achieves 198.5 FPS, which is a scenario where the processor's 12 threads and 16 MB of L3 cache help feed the GPU efficiently. However, the data shows that the CPU is not the limiting factor when settings are raised; the frame rate drops to 93.1 FPS at 1080p Ultra, a decline that points directly to the GPU struggling with increased visual complexity rather than the CPU running out of headroom. The processor's 65 W TDP and DDR4 memory support (dual-channel, 51.2 GB/s bandwidth) keep it a stable partner, but the benchmark results indicate that this chip is more than sufficient to drive the RX 6750 XT in this title, especially since the CPU's average benchmark score of 20740 places it on par with the Intel Core i7-10700 (deltaPct 0) and just 0.3% ahead of the AMD Ryzen 5 5600X.

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 resolution scaling that identifies the GPU as the primary limiting component at higher settings. At 1080p High, the combo produces 124.7 FPS, which drops to 90.3 FPS at 1440p High (a 27.6% reduction) and further to 60.7 FPS at 4K High (a 51.3% reduction from 1080p). This steep decline as resolution increases is characteristic of a GPU-bound workload, where the RX 6750 XT's 12 GB of GDDR6 memory and 432.0 GB/s bandwidth are being pushed to their limits by the pixel count.

The story changes when settings are lowered. At Low settings, the frame rate goes from 198.5 FPS at 1080p to 150 FPS at 1440p (a 24.4% drop) and 93.8 FPS at 4K (a 52.7% drop from 1080p). The percentage drops are similar across settings, but the absolute numbers at Low settings are high enough to suggest that the CPU is still keeping up. The fact that the 4K Ultra setting yields only 45.3 FPS, compared to 93.1 FPS at 1080p Ultra, underscores that the GPU is the limiting factor; if the CPU were the bottleneck, the frame rates would not scale so dramatically with resolution. The data implies that for this combo, lowering resolution is the most effective way to boost performance, while adjusting settings has a smaller impact at the same resolution.

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

At 1920x1080, the combo delivers a wide range of frame rates depending on settings. Low settings produce 198.5 FPS, Medium yields 143.5 FPS, High achieves 124.7 FPS, and Ultra drops to 93.1 FPS. The jump from Low to Medium is a 27.7% reduction, while the drop from High to Ultra is 25.3%, showing that each settings tier has a significant impact on performance at this resolution.

Moving to 2560x1440, the numbers scale down proportionally. Low settings hit 150 FPS, Medium produces 106.3 FPS, High reaches 90.3 FPS, and Ultra falls to 67 FPS. The delta between Low and Ultra at 1440p is 55.3%, which is slightly larger than the 53.1% difference seen at 1080p, indicating that the GPU is becoming more stressed as pixel count increases. At 3840x2160, the performance drops further: Low delivers 93.8 FPS, Medium achieves 65.4 FPS, High manages 60.7 FPS, and Ultra bottoms out at 45.3 FPS. The 4K data shows that only Low settings break the 90 FPS threshold, while Ultra falls below 60 FPS, making it marginal for smooth gameplay on a 60 Hz display.

Settings Recommendations

Based on the measured FPS data, the best experience for this combo depends on the target refresh rate and resolution. For 1080p displays, High settings at 124.7 FPS offer an excellent balance of visual quality and smoothness, easily exceeding 120 FPS for fast-paced FPS gameplay. If a 144 Hz monitor is in use, Medium settings at 143.5 FPS are the optimal choice, as they push past 140 FPS while maintaining better visual fidelity than Low.

At 1440p, the data suggests that Medium settings at 106.3 FPS provide the best compromise, staying above 100 FPS for responsive play. High settings at 90.3 FPS are acceptable for less competitive players, but they fall below the 100 FPS mark. For 4K, Low settings at 93.8 FPS are the only way to stay near 90 FPS; Medium settings drop to 65.4 FPS, which is still playable but may not feel as fluid. Ultra settings are not recommended at any resolution, as the frame rate falls below 67 FPS even at 1440p, and at 4K it drops to 45.3 FPS, which is below the standard 60 FPS threshold for smooth gameplay.

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

The AMD Radeon RX 6750 XT is built on the RDNA 2.0 architecture with the Navi 22 chip, featuring 2560 shading units, 160 TMUs, and 64 ROPs. It operates at a base clock of 2150 MHz and a boost clock of 2600 MHz, with a game clock of 2495 MHz that is likely the effective speed during Lockdown Protocol sessions. The GPU's 12 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 192-bit bus provides 432.0 GB/s of bandwidth, which is sufficient for the textures and assets in this FPS title, but the measured frame rates indicate that raw compute power, not memory capacity, is the limiting factor at higher settings.

The GPU's FP32 performance of 13.31 TFLOPS and texture rate of 416.0 GTexel/s are directly relevant to how Lockdown Protocol renders scenes. The data shows that the card handles Low settings with ease, producing 198.5 FPS at 1080p, but struggles as settings rise. The drop from Low to Ultra at 1080p is 53.1%, and at 4K it is 51.7%, which aligns with the GPU's pixel rate of 166.4 GPixel/s being taxed by higher resolution and more complex shaders. The GPU's 40 ray tracing cores and support for DirectX 12 Ultimate (12_2) are present, but the benchmarks do not specifically isolate ray tracing effects in this game, so their impact is not directly measured. The 250 W TDP and suggested 600 W PSU indicate that this card draws significant power, but the benchmark results are what matter for gameplay, and they show a GPU that is capable but not overpowered for Lockdown Protocol at higher settings.
