Performance Report
At 1080p, frame rates range from 30 to 70 FPS depending on quality settings. At 1440p, frame rates range from 17 to 35 FPS. At 4K, frame rates range from 10 to 23 FPS.
The Radeon RX 9060 XT 16GB is 99% above the recommended GPU (GeForce GTX 1060) for Deadlock. The Ryzen 7 7800X3D is 161% above the recommended CPU (Core i7-6700K).
Deadlock supports: AFMF. The Radeon RX 9060 XT 16GB can use AFMF, providing up to 1.5x-2x frame rate boost.
The Radeon RX 9060 XT 16GB 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.
Approximated average price on current market:
Combo price: $733. At 1080p Ultra, this combo delivers 30 FPS, equivalent to 0.04 FPS per dollar.

This section is based on estimated CPU/GPU FPS ceilings, not utilization percentages.
At 1440p ultra, the Radeon RX 9060 XT 16GB sets the ceiling at about 17 FPS, while the Ryzen 7 7800X3D has headroom up to 207 FPS. In this scenario, the GPU limits the CPU potential by 92% (FPS gap: 190 FPS). Overall distribution: GPU limits 12/12 cells, CPU limits 0/12, balanced 0/12.
Your Radeon RX 9060 XT 16GB 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 73% | GPU Limits CPU 75% | GPU Limits CPU 77% | GPU Limits CPU 83% |
| 1440p (2K QHD) | GPU Limits CPU 88% | GPU Limits CPU 89% | GPU Limits CPU 90% | GPU Limits CPU 92% |
| 4K (Ultra HD) | GPU Limits CPU 86% | GPU Limits CPU 88% | GPU Limits CPU 91% | GPU Limits CPU 91% |
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 Radeon RX 9060 XT 16GB will struggle to run Deadlock at smooth framerates. At 1080p Ultra, you can expect around 30 FPS which is classified as "playable". Consider lowering settings or upgrading your hardware.
This CPU + GPU combo costs approximately $733 ($384 CPU (Rank #212 Value) + $349 GPU (Rank #33 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 GeForce RTX 4070 Ti for around $799 (Rank #42 for value) could deliver noticeably better performance.
For Deadlock, upgrading the GPU would give you the most noticeable improvement. The Radeon RX 9060 XT 16GB 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 high, 1080p low, 1080p medium, 1080p ultra, 1440p high, 1440p low, 1440p medium, 1440p ultra, 4k high, 4k low, 4k medium, 4k ultra.
Yes! Deadlock supports AFMF, and your Radeon RX 9060 XT 16GB is compatible with AFMF. With Frame Generation enabled, you can expect a 1.5x-2x FPS multiplier on top of native framerates, significantly boosting perceived smoothness.
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 9060 XT 16GB 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.
