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 183 FPS, suitable for 144Hz+ monitors. At 1440p, all settings exceed 174 FPS. At 4K, all settings exceed 88 FPS.
The GeForce RTX 4090 is 279% above the recommended GPU (GeForce GTX 1060) for Deadlock. The M2 Pro 10-Core is 67% above the recommended CPU (Core i7-6700K).
The M2 Pro 10-Core determines the performance ceiling at 1080p ultra, 1440p ultra, 4k (medium/ultra), while the GPU has headroom. The system is well balanced at 1080p (low/medium/high), 1440p (low/medium/high), 4k (low/high).
At 1440p ultra, the M2 Pro 10-Core sets the ceiling at about 168 FPS, while the GeForce RTX 4090 could reach 186 FPS. In this scenario, the CPU limits the GPU potential by 10% (FPS gap: 18 FPS). Overall distribution: CPU limits 6/12 cells, GPU limits 0/12, balanced 6/12.
The M2 Pro 10-Core 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 | CPU Limits GPU 7% |
| 1440p (2K QHD) | Balanced | Balanced | CPU Limits GPU 6% | CPU Limits GPU 10% |
| 4K (Ultra HD) | Balanced | CPU Limits GPU 7% | CPU Limits GPU 7% | CPU Limits GPU 10% |
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.
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 67% above and your GPU is 279% above the recommended specs. Ultra settings at 1080p, or High at 1440p/4K.

Yes, the M2 Pro 10-Core paired with the GeForce RTX 4090 can run Deadlock smoothly up to 4k achieving around 88 FPS at Ultra quality. Your GPU is 279% above the recommended specs, and your CPU is 67% 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 M2 Pro 10-Core 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: 1080p ultra, 1440p ultra, 4k medium, 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 M2 Pro 10-Core 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.
