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 196 FPS, suitable for 144Hz+ monitors. At 1440p, all settings exceed 176 FPS. At 4K, all settings exceed 87 FPS.
The GeForce RTX 4090 is 279% above the recommended GPU (GeForce GTX 1060) for Deadlock. The EPYC 9754 is 649% above the recommended CPU (Core i7-6700K).
The EPYC 9754 sets the FPS ceiling at 1440p ultra, 4k medium, while the GeForce RTX 4090 still has headroom. The FPS ceiling is closely matched at all 1080p settings, 1440p (low/medium/high), 4k (low/high/ultra).
Approximated average price on current market:
Combo price: $12280. At 1080p Ultra, this combo delivers 196 FPS, equivalent to 0.02 FPS per dollar.

This section is based on estimated CPU/GPU FPS ceilings, not utilization percentages.
At 4k ultra, the EPYC 9754 sets the ceiling at about 84 FPS, while the GeForce RTX 4090 could reach 92 FPS. In this scenario, the CPU limits the GPU potential by 9% (FPS gap: 8 FPS). Overall distribution: CPU limits 4/12 cells, GPU limits 0/12, balanced 8/12.
The EPYC 9754 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) | Balanced | CPU Limits GPU 6% | Balanced | CPU Limits GPU 7% |
| 4K (Ultra HD) | Balanced | CPU Limits GPU 8% | Balanced | CPU Limits GPU 9% |
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.

Yes, the EPYC 9754 paired with the GeForce RTX 4090 can run Deadlock smoothly up to 4k achieving around 87 FPS at Ultra quality. Your GPU is 279% above the recommended specs, and your CPU is 649% above the recommended requirements.
This CPU + GPU combo costs approximately $12280 ($10631 CPU (Rank #509 Value) + $1649 GPU (Rank #77 Value)). Your EPYC 9754 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 processor with a significantly better value rating. For example, the Ryzen Threadripper PRO 9985WX is a great upgrade option for around $7999 (Rank #378 for value) while costing less than your current CPU.
Your EPYC 9754 is already an incredibly powerful processor. While it's technically the first component to hit its limit (which is completely normal in state-of-the-art builds), there is no meaningful upgrade path that would drastically improve your Deadlock performance right now. CPU fully utilized at: 1440p ultra, 4k medium.
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 9754 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.
