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.

The displayed percentages are derived from FPS ceilings, not generic utilization heuristics.

Performance Summary

The Ryzen 7 7800X3D + RTX A2000 pairing runs this title with CPU utilization between 14% and 74% and GPU utilization between 69% and 100%. Ryzen 7 7800X3D stays in a controlled operating range, while RTX A2000 becomes the primary limiter at high visual load. As resolution scales, average GPU load rises from 89% at 1080p to 94% at 4K, while CPU averages move from 50% to 34%.

Bottleneck Analysis

This profile is GPU-bound. At 1440p (2K QHD) Ultra, the RTX A2000 averages 98% usage (95-100%), while the Ryzen 7 7800X3D stays at 29% (21-37%), indicating the graphics pipeline is the limiting stage.

Resolution Scaling

At 1080p, averages sit around CPU 50% and GPU 89%. At 1440p, that shifts to CPU 42% and GPU 93%, and at 4K it reaches CPU 34% and GPU 94%. This shows that workload scaling is present on both components, with stronger pressure on the GPU.

Optimal Settings Recommendation

1080p (Full HD) Medium is the most balanced preset based on this dataset. It runs around CPU 64% (56-73%) and GPU 88% (88-89%), which keeps RTX A2000 well utilized without constant max-out behavior while Ryzen 7 7800X3D remains stable for consistent frame delivery.

Upgrade Insight

Upgrade priority should be the GPU. The RTX A2000 reaches 98% average load at 1440p (2K QHD) Ultra while the Ryzen 7 7800X3D still has headroom, so a faster graphics card would deliver the largest uplift.

Understanding Hardware Utilization & Bottlenecks: These percentages represent how much of your component's maximum processing power is actively being used during gameplay. This is the key to identifying performance bottlenecks in any system.

  • The Ideal Scenario (GPU Bottleneck): You typically want to see High GPU Utilization (90%+) and moderate CPU usage. This indicates your system is successfully pushing out graphics as fast as it can, without being held back by the CPU.
  • CPU Bottleneck: If you see High CPU Utilization (85%+) paired with lower GPU utilization, the CPU is struggling to compute game logic and prepare frames fast enough. The GPU sits waiting, often resulting in stuttering, inconsistent frame times, and lower overall FPS.
  • Engine Limits or Capped FPS: 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.

Frequently Asked Questions

1Can the Ryzen 7 7800X3D and RTX A2000 run Deadlock well?

Yes, the Ryzen 7 7800X3D paired with the RTX A2000 can run Deadlock smoothly up to 1080p achieving around 80 FPS at Ultra quality. Your GPU is 34% 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 $704 ($384 CPU (Rank #212 Value) + $320 GPU (Rank #21 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 Quadro RTX 4000 (móvel) for around $900 (Rank #11 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 RTX A2000 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 RTX A2000 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 RTX A2000?

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.
