This game has a built-in FPS cap of 60 FPS
Actual FPS may vary based on RAM speed, background processes, and other system factors
Performance Report
At 1080p, frame rates range from 50 to 93 FPS depending on quality settings. At 1440p, frame rates range from 33 to 58 FPS. At 4K, frame rates range from 22 to 47 FPS.
The Radeon RX 5300M is 5% above the recommended GPU (GeForce GTX 760) for Dead by Daylight. The Ryzen 7 7800X3D is 543% above the recommended CPU (Core i3-4170).
The Radeon RX 5300M sets the FPS ceiling at all 1080p settings, all 1440p settings, all 4k settings, while the Ryzen 7 7800X3D still has additional frame-generation headroom.
This section is based on estimated CPU/GPU FPS ceilings, not utilization percentages.
At 4k ultra, the Radeon RX 5300M sets the ceiling at about 21 FPS, while the Ryzen 7 7800X3D has headroom up to 117 FPS. In this scenario, the GPU limits the CPU potential by 82% (FPS gap: 96 FPS). Overall distribution: GPU limits 12/12 cells, CPU limits 0/12, balanced 0/12.
Your Radeon RX 5300M 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 60% | GPU Limits CPU 73% | GPU Limits CPU 75% | GPU Limits CPU 80% |
| 1440p (2K QHD) | GPU Limits CPU 57% | GPU Limits CPU 71% | GPU Limits CPU 72% | GPU Limits CPU 78% |
| 4K (Ultra HD) | GPU Limits CPU 62% | GPU Limits CPU 76% | GPU Limits CPU 76% | GPU Limits CPU 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 Ryzen 7 7800X3D + Radeon RX 5300M pairing runs this title with CPU utilization between 9% and 45% and GPU utilization between 50% and 98%. Ryzen 7 7800X3D keeps significant headroom across presets, while Radeon RX 5300M is utilized efficiently without persistent saturation. As resolution scales, average GPU load rises from 69% at 1080p to 75% at 4K, while CPU averages move from 33% to 26%.
The utilization pattern is relatively even. The Radeon RX 5300M reaches 85% average at its highest-load preset, while the Ryzen 7 7800X3D peaks at 38% average. This suggests a fairly controlled load distribution, but the actual FPS-limiting side should still be read from the limiter analysis above.
At 1080p, averages sit around CPU 33% and GPU 69%. At 1440p, that shifts to CPU 26% and GPU 75%, and at 4K it reaches CPU 26% and GPU 75%. 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 17% (9-25%) and GPU 85% (74-96%), which keeps Radeon RX 5300M 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 Radeon RX 5300M 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.

The Ryzen 7 7800X3D and Radeon RX 5300M will struggle to run Dead by Daylight at smooth framerates. At 1080p Ultra, you can expect around 50 FPS which is classified as "playable". Consider lowering settings or upgrading your hardware.
Price data is not currently available for this combination. In general, look for setups where the CPU and GPU are balanced — this ensures you're not overspending on one component that the other can't keep up with.
For Dead by Daylight, upgrading the GPU would give you the most noticeable improvement. The Radeon RX 5300M 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 Ryzen 7 7800X3D and Radeon RX 5300M both exceed the recommended specs, so you're well-positioned for a great experience.
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.
