Percentages show how much potential FPS of the stronger component is lost because the other component has a lower FPS ceiling.
🧠Methodology

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.

Performance Summary

The Ryzen 7 7800X3D + Radeon PRO W7700 pairing runs this title with CPU utilization between 27% and 93% and GPU utilization between 46% and 100%. Ryzen 7 7800X3D stays in a controlled operating range, while Radeon PRO W7700 carries most of the graphics load at heavier visual settings. As resolution scales, average GPU load rises from 75% at 1080p to 90% at 4K, while CPU averages move from 71% to 51%.

Load Interpretation

From a utilization perspective, this is a GPU-heavy load profile. At 1440p (2K QHD) High, the Radeon PRO W7700 averages 96% usage (91-100%), while the Ryzen 7 7800X3D stays at 48% (34-63%). This shows the graphics pipeline is carrying most of the workload, but utilization alone does not define the FPS limiter.

Resolution Scaling

At 1080p, averages sit around CPU 71% and GPU 75%. At 1440p, that shifts to CPU 54% and GPU 90%, and at 4K it reaches CPU 51% and GPU 90%. This shows that workload scaling is present on both components, with stronger pressure on the GPU.

Optimal Settings Recommendation

1440p (2K QHD) Medium is the most balanced preset based on this dataset. It runs around CPU 62% (59-66%) and GPU 93% (88-98%), which keeps Radeon PRO W7700 well utilized without constant max-out behavior while Ryzen 7 7800X3D remains stable for consistent frame delivery.

Upgrade Insight

Current utilization does not show an urgent upgrade requirement for either component; the Ryzen 7 7800X3D and Radeon PRO W7700 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.

  • High GPU Load: You typically want to see High GPU Utilization (90%+) and moderate CPU usage when visual settings are heavy. This indicates the graphics pipeline is under strong load, but the exact FPS limiter should still be confirmed by the FPS ceiling analysis.
  • High CPU Load: If you see High CPU Utilization (85%+) paired with lower GPU utilization, the processor is handling a disproportionate share of frame preparation and game logic. That can point to CPU-side pressure, but it should not be treated as a direct replacement for FPS ceiling analysis.
  • Low CPU and GPU Load: If both CPU and GPU utilization are relatively low, it means the hardware is waiting on something else. This could be a game engine limitation, poorly optimized code, or an artificial framerate cap like VSync holding performance back. It does not mean both parts are equally fast in FPS terms.

Frequently Asked Questions

1Can the Ryzen 7 7800X3D and Radeon PRO W7700 run Deadlock well?

Yes, the Ryzen 7 7800X3D paired with the Radeon PRO W7700 can run Deadlock smoothly up to 1440p achieving around 96 FPS at Ultra quality. Your GPU is 129% above the recommended specs, and your CPU is 161% above the recommended requirements.

2Is there a more cost-effective setup to run Deadlock?

This CPU + GPU combo costs approximately $1383 ($384 CPU (Rank #212 Value) + $999 GPU (Rank #29 Value)). Your build is already very cost-efficient, but if you want even more FPS, the next good option is upgrading the GPU. For example, upgrading to the RTX PRO 4500 Blackwell for around $2399 (Rank #51 for value) could deliver noticeably better performance.

3Which component should I upgrade first to improve Deadlock performance?

For Deadlock, upgrading the GPU would give you the most noticeable improvement. The Radeon PRO W7700 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.

4Does this setup support Frame Generation for Deadlock?

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.

5What are the minimum and recommended specs for Deadlock?

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 Radeon PRO W7700 both exceed the recommended specs, so you're well-positioned for a great experience.

6How accurate are these Deadlock FPS estimates for the Ryzen 7 7800X3D and Radeon PRO W7700?

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.
