Performance Report
At 1080p, all quality settings exceed 182 FPS, suitable for 144Hz+ monitors. At 1440p, all settings exceed 167 FPS. At 4K, all settings exceed 80 FPS.
The GeForce RTX 4090 is 279% above the recommended GPU (GeForce GTX 1060) for Deadlock. The EPYC 7351P is 89% above the recommended CPU (Core i7-6700K).
The EPYC 7351P determines the performance ceiling at all 1440p settings, all 4k settings, while the GPU has headroom. The system is well balanced at all 1080p settings.
At 4k ultra, the EPYC 7351P sets the ceiling at about 77 FPS, while the GeForce RTX 4090 could reach 89 FPS. In this scenario, the CPU limits the GPU potential by 13% (FPS gap: 12 FPS). Overall distribution: CPU limits 8/12 cells, GPU limits 0/12, balanced 4/12.
The EPYC 7351P and GeForce RTX 4090 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) | CPU Limits GPU 9% | CPU Limits GPU 6% | CPU Limits GPU 7% | CPU Limits GPU 12% |
| 4K (Ultra HD) | CPU Limits GPU 9% | CPU Limits GPU 10% | CPU Limits GPU 11% | CPU Limits GPU 13% |
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.
The displayed percentages are derived from FPS ceilings, not generic utilization heuristics.

The EPYC 7351P + GeForce RTX 4090 pairing runs this title with CPU utilization between 21% and 95% and GPU utilization between 42% and 90%. EPYC 7351P reaches high load in heavier scenarios, while GeForce RTX 4090 is utilized efficiently without persistent saturation. As resolution scales, average GPU load rises from 60% at 1080p to 76% at 4K, while CPU averages move from 75% to 50%.
This profile is CPU-bound. At 1080p (Full HD) Low, the EPYC 7351P reaches 86% average load (77-95%), while the GeForce RTX 4090 remains comparatively lower at 60% (42-77%), which points to CPU-side frame preparation limits.
At 1080p, averages sit around CPU 75% and GPU 60%. At 1440p, that shifts to CPU 62% and GPU 61%, and at 4K it reaches CPU 50% and GPU 76%. This shows that workload scaling is present on both components, with stronger pressure on the GPU.
4K (Ultra HD) Low is the most balanced preset based on this dataset. It runs around CPU 60% (58-62%) and GPU 76% (61-90%), which keeps GeForce RTX 4090 well utilized without constant max-out behavior while EPYC 7351P remains stable for consistent frame delivery.
Upgrade priority should be the CPU. The EPYC 7351P reaches 86% average load at 1080p (Full HD) Low while the GeForce RTX 4090 remains comparatively underutilized, so a faster processor would improve frame-time consistency and top-end FPS.
Understanding Hardware Utilization & Bottlenecks: These percentages represent how much of your component's maximum processing power is actively being used during gameplay. This is the key to identifying performance bottlenecks in any system.
Data generated by our Machine Learning engine trained on real-world benchmarks. Shows the approximate average utilization at each setting.
See how your processor and graphics card compare against the game official minimum and recommended system specs. The placement of your hardware is calculated using relative synthetic performance scores to help you gauge overall playability.

Yes, the EPYC 7351P paired with the GeForce RTX 4090 can run Deadlock smoothly up to 4k achieving around 80 FPS at Ultra quality. Your GPU is 279% above the recommended specs, and your CPU is 89% above the recommended requirements.
Price data is not currently available for this combination. In general, look for setups where the CPU and GPU are balanced — this ensures you're not overspending on one component that the other can't keep up with.
For Deadlock, upgrading the CPU would have the biggest impact on performance. The EPYC 7351P is currently the limiting factor — the GeForce RTX 4090 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: 1440p low, 1440p medium, 1440p high, 1440p ultra, 4k low, 4k medium, 4k high, 4k ultra.
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 EPYC 7351P and GeForce RTX 4090 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.
