This game has a built-in FPS cap of 60 FPS
Actual FPS may vary based on RAM speed, background processes, and other system factors
Performance Report
At 1080p, all quality settings exceed 226 FPS, suitable for 144Hz+ monitors. At 1440p, all settings exceed 105 FPS. At 4K, all settings exceed 92 FPS.
The GeForce RTX 3090 Ti is 511% above the recommended GPU (GeForce GTX 760) for Dead by Daylight. The Ryzen 7 7800X3D is 543% above the recommended CPU (Core i3-4170).
No major FPS-ceiling mismatch detected. The GeForce RTX 3090 Ti and Ryzen 7 7800X3D stay close in effective frame-generation ceiling across the tested resolutions and quality settings.
Approximated average price on current market:
Combo price: $1478.13. At 1080p Ultra, this combo delivers 226 FPS, equivalent to 0.15 FPS per dollar.

This section is based on estimated CPU/GPU FPS ceilings, not utilization percentages. Adjacent heavier settings are lightly stabilized to remove prediction jitter that would otherwise create impossible reversals.
This CPU/GPU pair is mostly balanced in Dead by Daylight. Across tested presets: GPU limits in 0/12, CPU limits in 0/12, and balanced in 12/12. Peak observed performance in the sampled cells is around 311 FPS.
The Ryzen 7 7800X3D and GeForce RTX 3090 Ti stay close in effective frame-generation ceiling across most presets, so neither side consistently suppresses the other by a large margin.
| Resolution | Low | Medium | High | Ultra |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1080p (Full HD) | Balanced | Balanced | Balanced | Balanced |
| 1440p (2K QHD) | Balanced | Balanced | Balanced | Balanced |
| 4K (Ultra HD) | Balanced | Balanced | Balanced | Balanced |
We estimate the maximum FPS the processor can sustain and the maximum FPS the graphics card can sustain in each setting, then compare those limits directly.
Limit Factor formula: (stronger - weaker) / stronger. Example: if CPU ceiling is 200 FPS and GPU ceiling is 140 FPS, then GPU limits CPU by 30%.
CPU Limits GPU means the processor ceiling is lower. GPU Limits CPU means the graphics ceiling is lower. Balanced means the FPS ceilings are close enough that the gap is negligible.
A component can still be the FPS limiter without reaching 100% utilization. The displayed percentages are derived from FPS ceilings and then monotonic-smoothed across heavier presets and resolutions, not generic utilization heuristics.

Yes, the Ryzen 7 7800X3D paired with the GeForce RTX 3090 Ti can run Dead by Daylight smoothly up to 4k achieving around 92 FPS at Ultra quality. Your GPU is 511% above the recommended specs, and your CPU is 543% above the recommended requirements.
This CPU + GPU combo costs approximately $1478.13 ($378.13 CPU + $1100 GPU). This is a well-balanced setup, meaning you're getting good value from both components without significant waste.
This setup is already well-balanced for Dead by Daylight. No significant bottleneck - CPU and GPU are well matched across all settings. Both the Ryzen 7 7800X3D and GeForce RTX 3090 Ti complement each other effectively, so upgrading either component individually would yield diminishing returns. If you want more FPS, you'd benefit most from upgrading both CPU and GPU together.
Dead by Daylight does not currently support Frame Generation technologies like DLSS 3 or FSR 3. Your performance is based entirely on native rendering. If the game adds support in a future update, newer GPUs will benefit the most.
Dead by Daylight requires at minimum a Core i3-4170 (CPU) and GeForce GTX 460 (GPU) with 8 GB RAM and 50 GB storage. For the recommended experience, you need a Core i3-4170 and GeForce GTX 760 with 8 GB RAM. Your Ryzen 7 7800X3D and GeForce RTX 3090 Ti both exceed the recommended specs, so you're well-positioned for a great experience.
These Dead by Daylight FPS results are not arbitrary numbers. They come from calculations informed by thousands of real gaming benchmarks, and the typical accuracy range is around 10% to 15%. That makes them far more useful than generic FPS calculators that simply invent values without a benchmark foundation. Actual in-game performance can still vary with drivers, updates, RAM configuration, cooling, and the exact scene being rendered.
Performance estimates are based on synthetic benchmarks and hardware capabilities.
Results may vary based on drivers, OS, and background processes.
