This section is based on estimated CPU/GPU FPS ceilings, not utilization percentages.
At 4k ultra, the Radeon RX 6850M XT sets the ceiling at about 37 FPS, while the Ryzen 7 7800X3D has headroom up to 101 FPS. In this scenario, the GPU limits the CPU potential by 63% (FPS gap: 64 FPS). Overall distribution: GPU limits 12/12 cells, CPU limits 0/12, balanced 0/12.
Your Radeon RX 6850M XT 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 36% | GPU Limits CPU 38% | GPU Limits CPU 38% | GPU Limits CPU 45% |
| 1440p (2K QHD) | GPU Limits CPU 56% | GPU Limits CPU 57% | GPU Limits CPU 56% | GPU Limits CPU 62% |
| 4K (Ultra HD) | GPU Limits CPU 55% | GPU Limits CPU 57% | GPU Limits CPU 58% | GPU Limits CPU 63% |
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 6850M XT pairing runs this title with CPU utilization between 35% and 93% and GPU utilization between 49% and 99%. Ryzen 7 7800X3D reaches high load in heavier scenarios, while Radeon RX 6850M XT carries most of the graphics load at heavier visual settings. As resolution scales, average GPU load rises from 80% at 1080p to 90% at 4K, while CPU averages move from 72% to 59%.
From a utilization perspective, this is a GPU-heavy load profile. At 4K (Ultra HD) High, the Radeon RX 6850M XT averages 96% usage (94-99%), while the Ryzen 7 7800X3D stays at 54% (40-68%). 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 72% and GPU 80%. At 1440p, that shifts to CPU 60% and GPU 86%, and at 4K it reaches CPU 59% and GPU 90%. This shows that workload scaling is present on both components, with stronger pressure on the GPU.
1440p (2K QHD) Medium is the most balanced preset based on this dataset. It runs around CPU 68% (64-72%) and GPU 88% (85-92%), which keeps Radeon RX 6850M XT well utilized without constant max-out behavior while Ryzen 7 7800X3D remains stable for consistent frame delivery.
Both components are stressed near their limits in the heaviest presets (Ryzen 7 7800X3D: 85% avg, Radeon RX 6850M XT: 96% avg). A targeted upgrade should follow your target resolution: GPU first for higher image quality, CPU first for higher minimum FPS.
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 Radeon RX 6850M XT can run Deadlock smoothly up to 1440p achieving around 69 FPS at Ultra quality. Your GPU is 72% above the recommended specs, and your CPU is 161% above the recommended requirements.
This CPU + GPU combo costs approximately $1184 ($384 CPU (Rank #212 Value) + $800 GPU (Rank #53 Value)). 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 GeForce GTX 1080 SLI (móvel) (Rank #2 for value) could deliver noticeably better performance.
For Deadlock, upgrading the GPU would give you the most noticeable improvement. The Radeon RX 6850M XT 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.
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 Radeon RX 6850M XT 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.
