Performance Report
At 1080p, all quality settings exceed 180 FPS, suitable for 144Hz+ monitors. At 1440p, all settings exceed 135 FPS. At 4K, all settings exceed 102 FPS.
The RTX PRO 5000 Blackwell Mobile is 646% above the recommended GPU (GeForce GTX 760) for Dead by Daylight. The Ryzen 7 7800X3D is 543% above the recommended CPU (Core i3-4170).
At lower resolutions (1440p (low/medium/high), 4k (low/medium/high)), the Ryzen 7 7800X3D sets the FPS ceiling. As graphical load increases at (all 1080p settings, 1440p ultra, 4k ultra), the RTX PRO 5000 Blackwell Mobile becomes the FPS-limiting side.
This section is based on estimated CPU/GPU FPS ceilings, not utilization percentages.
At 1080p ultra, the RTX PRO 5000 Blackwell Mobile sets the ceiling at about 160 FPS, while the Ryzen 7 7800X3D has headroom up to 241 FPS. In this scenario, the GPU limits the CPU potential by 34% (FPS gap: 81 FPS). Overall distribution: GPU limits 6/12 cells, CPU limits 6/12, balanced 0/12.
Your RTX PRO 5000 Blackwell Mobile 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 13% | GPU Limits CPU 18% | GPU Limits CPU 19% | GPU Limits CPU 34% |
| 1440p (2K QHD) | CPU Limits GPU 13% | CPU Limits GPU 10% | CPU Limits GPU 10% | GPU Limits CPU 15% |
| 4K (Ultra HD) | CPU Limits GPU 12% | CPU Limits GPU 9% | CPU Limits GPU 9% | GPU Limits CPU 15% |
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 + RTX PRO 5000 Blackwell Mobile pairing runs this title with CPU utilization between 10% and 59% and GPU utilization between 28% and 94%. Ryzen 7 7800X3D keeps significant headroom across presets, while RTX PRO 5000 Blackwell Mobile is utilized efficiently without persistent saturation. As resolution scales, average GPU load rises from 53% at 1080p to 65% at 4K, while CPU averages move from 42% to 30%.
The utilization pattern is relatively even. The RTX PRO 5000 Blackwell Mobile reaches 76% average at its highest-load preset, while the Ryzen 7 7800X3D peaks at 46% 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 42% and GPU 53%. At 1440p, that shifts to CPU 30% and GPU 66%, and at 4K it reaches CPU 30% and GPU 65%. This shows that workload scaling is present on both components, with stronger pressure on the GPU.
1440p (2K QHD) Ultra is the most balanced preset based on this dataset. It runs around CPU 19% (11-27%) and GPU 76% (57-94%), which keeps RTX PRO 5000 Blackwell Mobile 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 RTX PRO 5000 Blackwell Mobile 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.

Yes, the Ryzen 7 7800X3D paired with the RTX PRO 5000 Blackwell Mobile can run Dead by Daylight smoothly up to 4k achieving around 102 FPS at Ultra quality. Your GPU is 646% above the recommended specs, and your CPU is 543% above the recommended requirements.
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.
Your RTX PRO 5000 Blackwell Mobile is already a top-tier graphics card. While it's technically the limiting factor here (which means you are fully utilizing your GPU's visual horsepower exactly as intended), there is no meaningful upgrade path that would drastically improve your Dead by Daylight performance right now. GPU fully utilized at: 1080p low, 1080p medium, 1080p high, 1080p ultra, 1440p ultra, 4k ultra. CPU-limited at: 1440p low, 1440p medium, 1440p high, 4k low, 4k medium, 4k high.
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 RTX PRO 5000 Blackwell Mobile 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.
