This section is based on estimated CPU/GPU FPS ceilings, not utilization percentages.
At 4k ultra, the Quadro K2000M sets the ceiling at about 11 FPS, while the Ryzen 7 7800X3D has headroom up to 82 FPS. In this scenario, the GPU limits the CPU potential by 87% (FPS gap: 71 FPS). Overall distribution: GPU limits 12/12 cells, CPU limits 0/12, balanced 0/12.
Your Quadro K2000M is the limiting side in the heaviest mismatch. This means part of the Ryzen 7 7800X3D frame-generation potential remains unused in those settings.
| Resolution | Low | Medium | High | Ultra |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1080p (Full HD) | GPU Limits CPU 67% | GPU Limits CPU 72% | GPU Limits CPU 76% | GPU Limits CPU 81% |
| 1440p (2K QHD) | GPU Limits CPU 70% | GPU Limits CPU 74% | GPU Limits CPU 78% | GPU Limits CPU 84% |
| 4K (Ultra HD) | GPU Limits CPU 77% | GPU Limits CPU 81% | GPU Limits CPU 84% | GPU Limits CPU 87% |
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 and Quadro K2000M will struggle to run Dead by Daylight at smooth framerates. At 1080p Ultra, you can expect around 23 FPS which is classified as "struggling". Consider lowering settings or upgrading your hardware.
This CPU + GPU combo costs approximately $414 ($384 CPU + $30 GPU). Since the GPU is the main limiting factor, investing in a stronger GPU will improve your framerates and overall value. For example, upgrading to the RTX 2000 Ada Generation Embedded GPU (Rank #6 for value) could deliver noticeably better performance.
For Dead by Daylight, upgrading the GPU would give you the most noticeable improvement. The Quadro K2000M is the limiting factor here, while the Ryzen 7 7800X3D still has spare capacity. A more powerful GPU would unlock higher FPS, especially at higher resolutions and quality presets. GPU-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.
Dead by Daylight 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.
Dead by Daylight requires at minimum a Core i3-4170 (CPU) and GeForce GTX 460 (GPU) with 8 GB RAM and 50 GB storage. For the recommended experience, you need a Core i3-4170 and GeForce GTX 760 with 8 GB RAM. Your hardware falls below the minimum requirements for this game, which may result in poor performance.
These Dead by Daylight 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.
