This section is based on estimated CPU/GPU FPS ceilings, not utilization percentages.
At 1080p low, the Pentium G620 sets the ceiling at about 31 FPS, while the GeForce RTX 4090 could reach 292 FPS. In this scenario, the CPU limits the GPU potential by 89% (FPS gap: 261 FPS). Overall distribution: CPU limits 12/12 cells, GPU limits 0/12, balanced 0/12.
Your Pentium G620 is the limiting side in the heaviest mismatch. This means part of the GeForce RTX 4090 rendering potential remains unused in those settings.
| Resolution | Low | Medium | High | Ultra |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1080p (Full HD) | CPU Limits GPU 89% | CPU Limits GPU 88% | CPU Limits GPU 85% | CPU Limits GPU 84% |
| 1440p (2K QHD) | CPU Limits GPU 89% | CPU Limits GPU 88% | CPU Limits GPU 85% | CPU Limits GPU 83% |
| 4K (Ultra HD) | CPU Limits GPU 79% | CPU Limits GPU 77% | CPU Limits GPU 77% | CPU Limits GPU 82% |
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.

The Pentium G620 + GeForce RTX 4090 pairing runs this title with CPU utilization between 30% and 98% and GPU utilization between 43% and 91%. Pentium G620 reaches high load in heavier scenarios, while GeForce RTX 4090 is utilized efficiently without persistent saturation. As resolution scales, average GPU load rises from 58% at 1080p to 76% at 4K, while CPU averages move from 76% to 54%.
From a utilization perspective, this is a CPU-heavy load profile. At 1080p (Full HD) Low, the Pentium G620 reaches 87% average load (76-98%), while the GeForce RTX 4090 remains comparatively lower at 58% (43-73%). This points to heavier CPU-side frame preparation work, but utilization alone does not define the FPS limiter.
At 1080p, averages sit around CPU 76% and GPU 58%. At 1440p, that shifts to CPU 62% and GPU 65%, and at 4K it reaches CPU 54% and GPU 76%. This shows that workload scaling is present on both components, with stronger pressure on the GPU.
4K (Ultra HD) Ultra is the most balanced preset based on this dataset. It runs around CPU 44% (30-58%) and GPU 77% (63-91%), which keeps GeForce RTX 4090 well utilized without constant max-out behavior while Pentium G620 remains stable for consistent frame delivery.
Upgrade priority should be the CPU. The Pentium G620 reaches 87% 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: These percentages represent how much of your component's maximum processing power is actively being used during gameplay. They describe hardware load, but they do not directly tell you which component sets the FPS ceiling.
Important: a CPU or GPU can still be the FPS limiter without reaching 100% utilization. Two processors can both show 40% usage and still deliver very different frame rates, depending on per-core speed, cache, engine threading, driver overhead, and frame preparation efficiency.

The Pentium G620 and GeForce RTX 4090 will struggle to run Deadlock at smooth framerates. At 1080p Ultra, you can expect around 31 FPS which is classified as "playable". Consider lowering settings or upgrading your hardware.
This CPU + GPU combo costs approximately $1661 ($12 CPU + $1649 GPU (Rank #77 Value)). 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 #5 for value).
For Deadlock, upgrading the CPU would have the biggest impact on performance. The Pentium G620 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 low, 1080p medium, 1080p high, 1080p ultra, 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 hardware falls below the minimum requirements for this game, which may result in poor performance.
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.
