Performance Report
At 1080p, all quality settings exceed 192 FPS, suitable for 144Hz+ monitors. At 1440p, all settings exceed 174 FPS. At 4K, all settings exceed 101 FPS.
The GeForce RTX 3080 is 149% above the recommended GPU (GeForce GTX 1060) for Deadlock. The Ryzen 7 7800X3D is 161% above the recommended CPU (Core i7-6700K).
At lower resolutions (all 1080p settings), the Ryzen 7 7800X3D sets the FPS ceiling. As graphical load increases at (1440p (high/ultra), all 4k settings), the GeForce RTX 3080 becomes the FPS-limiting side. The FPS ceiling is closely matched at 1440p (low/medium).
Approximated average price on current market:
Combo price: $784. At 1080p Ultra, this combo delivers 192 FPS, equivalent to 0.24 FPS per dollar.

This section is based on estimated CPU/GPU FPS ceilings, not utilization percentages.
At 1080p medium, the Ryzen 7 7800X3D sets the ceiling at about 251 FPS, while the GeForce RTX 3080 could reach 316 FPS. In this scenario, the CPU limits the GPU potential by 21% (FPS gap: 65 FPS). Overall distribution: CPU limits 4/12 cells, GPU limits 6/12, balanced 2/12.
Your Ryzen 7 7800X3D is the limiting side in the heaviest mismatch. This means part of the GeForce RTX 3080 rendering potential remains unused in those settings.
| Resolution | Low | Medium | High | Ultra |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1080p (Full HD) | CPU Limits GPU 17% | CPU Limits GPU 21% | CPU Limits GPU 17% | CPU Limits GPU 15% |
| 1440p (2K QHD) | Balanced | Balanced | GPU Limits CPU 6% | GPU Limits CPU 7% |
| 4K (Ultra HD) | GPU Limits CPU 12% | GPU Limits CPU 14% | GPU Limits CPU 16% | GPU Limits CPU 13% |
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 Ryzen 7 7800X3D + GeForce RTX 3080 pairing runs this title with CPU utilization between 27% and 92% and GPU utilization between 43% and 97%. Ryzen 7 7800X3D stays in a controlled operating range, while GeForce RTX 3080 carries most of the graphics load at heavier visual settings. As resolution scales, average GPU load rises from 70% at 1080p to 87% at 4K, while CPU averages move from 69% to 54%.
From a utilization perspective, this is a GPU-heavy load profile. At 4K (Ultra HD) High, the GeForce RTX 3080 averages 92% usage (86-97%), while the Ryzen 7 7800X3D stays at 50% (33-66%). This shows the graphics pipeline is carrying most of the workload, but utilization alone does not define the FPS limiter.
At 1080p, averages sit around CPU 69% and GPU 70%. At 1440p, that shifts to CPU 68% and GPU 79%, and at 4K it reaches CPU 54% and GPU 87%. This shows that workload scaling is present on both components, with stronger pressure on the GPU.
4K (Ultra HD) Medium is the most balanced preset based on this dataset. It runs around CPU 62% (57-66%) and GPU 90% (86-95%), which keeps GeForce RTX 3080 well utilized without constant max-out behavior while Ryzen 7 7800X3D remains stable for consistent frame delivery.
Current utilization does not show an urgent upgrade requirement for either component; the Ryzen 7 7800X3D and GeForce RTX 3080 remain reasonably matched for this title.
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.

Yes, the Ryzen 7 7800X3D paired with the GeForce RTX 3080 can run Deadlock smoothly up to 4k achieving around 101 FPS at Ultra quality. Your GPU is 149% above the recommended specs, and your CPU is 161% above the recommended requirements.
This CPU + GPU combo costs approximately $784 ($384 CPU (Rank #212 Value) + $400 GPU (Rank #47 Value)). Your GeForce RTX 3080 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. For example, upgrading to the GeForce RTX 4080 for around $1199 (Rank #61 for value) could deliver noticeably better performance.
Your GeForce RTX 3080 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: 1440p high, 1440p ultra, 4k low, 4k medium, 4k high, 4k ultra. CPU-limited at: 1080p low, 1080p medium, 1080p high, 1080p 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 Ryzen 7 7800X3D and GeForce RTX 3080 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.
