Lockdown Protocol

Lockdown Protocol is an FPS with a release date of 2024-03-11, and the measured pairing here is the AMD Ryzen 5 5600X with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 4 GB. The measured frame-rate range spans 113.1 average FPS at 1920x1080 Low to 23.5 average FPS at 3840x2160 Ultra. The CPU is a 6-core, 12-thread Zen 3 desktop processor with a 3.70 GHz base clock, 4.60 GHz boost, and 32 MB L3 cache; the GPU is an Ampere part with 4 GB GDDR6, a 128-bit memory bus, and 192.0 GB/s bandwidth. Across all measured combos for this game, the pairing ranks 1499 out of 1637.

Resolution Scaling

The average FPS drops sharply as resolution climbs, and this pattern repeats on every preset. With Low settings, the combo averages 113.1 FPS at 1920x1080, 82.4 FPS at 2560x1440, and 54 FPS at 3840x2160. Medium settings produce 81.9 FPS, 60.4 FPS, and 35.9 FPS across the same three resolutions. High settings produce 70.4 FPS, 53.7 FPS, and 30.3 FPS. Ultra settings produce 49.6 FPS, 38.9 FPS, and 23.5 FPS.

The decline is present even when the preset is set to Low, which is an important signal. At Low, the scene still drops from 113.1 FPS at 1080p to 54 FPS at 4K. That means Lockdown Protocol's rendering workload is scaling strongly with pixel count regardless of visual options. Since the CPU has 12 threads and a 4.60 GHz boost, the processor is not the obvious source of this 1080p-to-4K collapse. The measured pattern instead points to the GPU as the limiting component as resolution increases.

GPU Role

The RTX 3050 4 GB sits at the 50th percentile among all GPUs in the database. Its memory configuration consists of 4 GB GDDR6 on a 128-bit bus, producing 192.0 GB/s of bandwidth. The clock data lists a 1545 MHz base clock, a 1740 MHz boost clock, and a 1500 MHz memory clock with 12 Gbps effective. The GPU also carries 2048 shading units, 64 TMUs, 32 ROPs, 16 RT cores, and 64 tensor cores, with rated pixel rate of 55.68 GPixel/s, texture rate of 111.4 GTexel/s, and FP32 throughput of 7.127 TFLOPS.

These specifications align with the measured frame rates. At 4K, the GPU never exceeds 54 FPS, and that result belongs to Low settings. The 4K Medium row drops to 35.9 FPS, while 4K High and Ultra produce 30.3 and 23.5 FPS respectively. At 1080p, Low reaches 113.1 FPS, but Ultra falls to 49.6 FPS. The sensitivity to both resolution and preset indicates the 4 GB frame buffer and 192.0 GB/s bandwidth are under heavy pressure when Lockdown Protocol increases its render load. The GPU is the half of this pairing that explains the lower half of the measured range.

CPU Role

The Ryzen 5 5600X is a 5000-series desktop processor on AMD Socket AM4, built on the Zen 3 architecture with a 7 nm process. It runs 6 cores and 12 threads with a 3.70 GHz base clock, a 4.60 GHz boost clock, a 65 W TDP, and dual-channel DDR4 memory support with 51.2 GB/s of memory bandwidth. Its benchmark results are strong: Cinebench R23 multicore scores 18578 and single-core scores 2622, Geekbench multicore scores 8673 and single-core scores 2111, and the CPU holds the 78th percentile among all CPUs with an average benchmark score of 20680.

The nearest-rival rows keep that score in context. The AMD Ryzen 5 5600GT has an average score of 20740 with a deltaPct of -0.3; the Intel Core i7-10700 has an average score of 20746 with a deltaPct of -0.3; the Intel Core i5-12490F has an average score of 20794 with a deltaPct of -0.5; and the Intel Xeon 6325P has an average score of 20538 with a deltaPct of 0.7. These are all close results, meaning the 5600X is in a tight CPU performance neighborhood. In Lockdown Protocol, the CPU appears to have enough headroom to feed the RTX 3050 4 GB. The measured frame rates at 1080p Low and 1440p Low, 113.1 and 82.4 FPS respectively, suggest the processor is not the primary limitation in the higher-resolution or higher-preset rows.

How This Combo Ranks

This pairing ranks 1499 out of 1637 measured combinations for Lockdown Protocol. That is a low placement, putting the Ryzen 5 5600X plus RTX 3050 4 GB behind most other tested system pairings in this game. The CPU's 78th percentile shows the processor is not a weak general-purpose component, while the GPU's 50th percentile shows the graphics card is a middling part in the database. The measured FPS behavior follows that relationship: the GPU's 4 GB GDDR6 and 192.0 GB/s bandwidth are the specifications most challenged by this game's higher resolution and preset rows.

Because the CPU's nearest rivals are separated by no more than 0.7 percentage points in average score, the low combo rank is not explained by a processor deficiency. The more likely explanation is the GPU. The data shows the combo produces 23.5 FPS at 4K Ultra and 30.3 FPS at 4K High, while only the 4K Low row reaches 54 FPS. Those results are bounded by the GPU half of the pairing, which is consistent with a rank of 1499 out of 1637.

Settings Recommendations

Looking only at the measured rows, the highest average FPS comes from 1920x1080 Low at 113.1 FPS. The next highest values are 2560x1440 Low at 82.4 FPS and 1920x1080 Medium at 81.9 FPS. For a balance between frame rate and visual preset, 1920x1080 Medium at 81.9 FPS and 2560x1440 Medium at 60.4 FPS are the most useful measured choices.

At 1080p, High still holds 70.4 FPS, while Ultra drops to 49.6 FPS. At 1440p, High manages 53.7 FPS, while Ultra falls to 38.9 FPS. At 4K, Low averages 54 FPS, but Medium drops to 35.9 FPS, High to 30.3 FPS, and Ultra to 23.5 FPS. The measured data therefore suggests that users who want maximum frame rate should choose 1920x1080 Low, users who want a quality step should choose 1920x1080 Medium or 2560x1440 Medium, and users who insist on 4K should treat 4K Low as the only 4K row with a higher average than the other 4K presets.
