Valve's new MOBA/Shooter hybrid. It has higher requirements than Dota 2, with 16GB of RAM recommended for a smooth experience.
Actual FPS may vary based on RAM speed, background processes, and other system factors
Performance Report
At 1080p, all quality settings exceed 203 FPS, suitable for 144Hz+ monitors. At 1440p, all settings exceed 184 FPS. At 4K, all settings exceed 91 FPS.
The GeForce RTX 4090 is 279% above the recommended GPU (GeForce GTX 1060) for Deadlock. The EPYC 9654 is 807% above the recommended CPU (Core i7-6700K).
The GeForce RTX 4090 sets the FPS ceiling at 1080p (medium/high), while the EPYC 9654 still has additional frame-generation headroom. The FPS ceiling is closely matched at 1080p (low/ultra), all 1440p settings, all 4k settings.
Approximated average price on current market:
Combo price: $6994. At 1080p Ultra, this combo delivers 203 FPS, equivalent to 0.03 FPS per dollar.

This section is based on estimated CPU/GPU FPS ceilings, not utilization percentages.
At 1080p high, the GeForce RTX 4090 sets the ceiling at about 206 FPS, while the EPYC 9654 has headroom up to 223 FPS. In this scenario, the GPU limits the CPU potential by 8% (FPS gap: 17 FPS). Overall distribution: GPU limits 2/12 cells, CPU limits 0/12, balanced 10/12. Confidence is low because both ceilings are very close in this cell.
The EPYC 9654 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 | GPU Limits CPU 7% | GPU Limits CPU 8% | 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, not generic utilization heuristics.
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.
Your CPU is 807% above and your GPU is 279% above the recommended specs. Ultra settings at 1080p, or High at 1440p/4K.

Yes, the EPYC 9654 paired with the GeForce RTX 4090 can run Deadlock smoothly up to 4k achieving around 91 FPS at Ultra quality. Your GPU is 279% above the recommended specs, and your CPU is 807% above the recommended requirements.
This CPU + GPU combo costs approximately $6994 ($5345 CPU (Rank #489 Value) + $1649 GPU (Rank #77 Value)). Your GeForce RTX 4090 provides phenomenal top-tier performance but at a premium enthusiast price. Since you are essentially at the ceiling of current hardware capabilities, there are no meaningful performance upgrades available. However, if you wanted a more cost-effective build that still delivers a great experience, you could theoretically step down to a high-end card with a significantly better value rating.
Your GeForce RTX 4090 is already a top-tier graphics card. While it's technically the limiting factor here (which means you are fully utilizing your GPU's visual horsepower exactly as intended), there is no meaningful upgrade path that would drastically improve your Deadlock performance right now. GPU fully utilized at: 1080p medium, 1080p high.
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 9654 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.
