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, frame rates range from 38 to 92 FPS depending on quality settings. At 1440p, frame rates range from 32 to 76 FPS. At 4K, frame rates range from 17 to 41 FPS.
The GeForce RTX 4090 is 279% above the recommended GPU (GeForce GTX 1060) for Deadlock. The Processor U300 is 32% below recommended, but 39% above minimum.
The Processor U300 sets the FPS ceiling at all 1080p settings, all 1440p settings, all 4k settings, while the GeForce RTX 4090 still has headroom.
Approximated average price on current market:
Combo price: $1829. At 1080p Ultra, this combo delivers 38 FPS, equivalent to 0.02 FPS per dollar.

This section is based on estimated CPU/GPU FPS ceilings, not utilization percentages.
At 1440p ultra, the Processor U300 sets the ceiling at about 31 FPS, while the GeForce RTX 4090 could reach 185 FPS. In this scenario, the CPU limits the GPU potential by 83% (FPS gap: 154 FPS). Overall distribution: CPU limits 12/12 cells, GPU limits 0/12, balanced 0/12.
Your Processor U300 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 65% | CPU Limits GPU 70% | CPU Limits GPU 68% | CPU Limits GPU 79% |
| 1440p (2K QHD) | CPU Limits GPU 70% | CPU Limits GPU 75% | CPU Limits GPU 73% | CPU Limits GPU 83% |
| 4K (Ultra HD) | CPU Limits GPU 72% | CPU Limits GPU 75% | CPU Limits GPU 76% | 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 Processor U300 and GeForce RTX 4090 will struggle to run Deadlock at smooth framerates. At 1080p Ultra, you can expect around 38 FPS which is classified as "playable". Consider lowering settings or upgrading your hardware.
This CPU + GPU combo costs approximately $1829 ($180 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 7845HX is a great upgrade option (Rank #1 for value).
For Deadlock, upgrading the CPU would have the biggest impact on performance. The Processor U300 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 setup meets the minimum requirements but falls short of the recommended specs. You may need to lower some settings for smooth 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.
