Performance Report
At 1080p, all quality settings exceed 183 FPS, suitable for 144Hz+ monitors. At 1440p, all settings exceed 180 FPS. At 4K, all settings exceed 118 FPS.
The Radeon RX 7900 XT is 188% above the recommended GPU (GeForce GTX 1060) for Deadlock. The Ryzen 7 7800X3D is 161% above the recommended CPU (Core i7-6700K).
At lower resolutions (1080p (medium/high/ultra), 1440p ultra), the Ryzen 7 7800X3D sets the FPS ceiling. As graphical load increases at (4k low), the Radeon RX 7900 XT becomes the FPS-limiting side. The FPS ceiling is closely matched at 1080p low, 1440p (low/medium/high), 4k (medium/high/ultra).
Approximated average price on current market:
Combo price: $1008.13. At 1080p Ultra, this combo delivers 183 FPS, equivalent to 0.18 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.
At 4k low, the Radeon RX 7900 XT sets the ceiling at about 186 FPS, while the Ryzen 7 7800X3D has headroom up to 201 FPS. In this scenario, the GPU limits the CPU potential by 7% (FPS gap: 15 FPS). Overall distribution: GPU limits 4/12 cells, CPU limits 0/12, balanced 8/12. Confidence is low because both ceilings are very close in this cell.
The Ryzen 7 7800X3D and Radeon RX 7900 XT 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) | GPU Limits CPU 7% | GPU Limits CPU 7% | GPU Limits CPU 7% | GPU Limits CPU 7% |
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 Radeon RX 7900 XT can run Deadlock smoothly up to 4k achieving around 118 FPS at Ultra quality. Your GPU is 188% above the recommended specs, and your CPU is 161% above the recommended requirements.
This CPU + GPU combo costs approximately $1008.13 ($378.13 CPU + $630 GPU). Since the CPU is the main limiting factor, investing in a stronger processor will improve your framerates and overall value. For example, the Ryzen 9 9950X is a great upgrade option for around $649 (Rank #4 for value).
For Deadlock, upgrading the CPU would have the biggest impact on performance. The Ryzen 7 7800X3D is currently the limiting factor — the Radeon RX 7900 XT has extra headroom that a faster processor could take advantage of. This is especially noticeable at 1080p where CPU performance matters more. CPU-limited at: 1080p medium, 1080p high, 1080p ultra, 1440p ultra. GPU fully utilized at: 4k low.
Deadlock 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.
Deadlock requires at minimum a Core i5-2500K (CPU) and GeForce GTX 660 (GPU) with 8 GB RAM and 20 GB storage. For the recommended experience, you need a Core i7-6700K and GeForce GTX 1060 with 16 GB RAM. Your Ryzen 7 7800X3D and Radeon RX 7900 XT both exceed the recommended specs, so you're well-positioned for a great experience.
These Deadlock 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.
