Performance Limiter Analysis

Ryzen 7 9800X3D|GeForce MX570 A

This section is based on estimated CPU/GPU FPS ceilings, not utilization percentages. Adjacent heavier settings are lightly stabilized to remove prediction jitter that would otherwise create impossible reversals.

📈Analysis

At 4k ultra, the GeForce MX570 A sets the ceiling at about 8 FPS, while the Ryzen 7 9800X3D has headroom up to 126 FPS. In this scenario, the GPU limits the CPU potential by 94% (FPS gap: 118 FPS). Overall distribution: GPU limits 12/12 cells, CPU limits 0/12, balanced 0/12.

Verdict

GPU Limits CPU

Your GeForce MX570 A is the limiting side in the heaviest mismatch. This means part of the Ryzen 7 9800X3D frame-generation potential remains unused in those settings.

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.

A component can still be the FPS limiter without reaching 100% utilization. The displayed percentages are derived from FPS ceilings and then monotonic-smoothed across heavier presets and resolutions, not generic utilization heuristics.

Frequently Asked Questions

1Can the Ryzen 7 9800X3D and GeForce MX570 A run Deadlock well?

The Ryzen 7 9800X3D and GeForce MX570 A will struggle to run Deadlock at smooth framerates. At 1080p Ultra, you can expect around 18 FPS which is classified as "struggling". Consider lowering settings or upgrading your hardware.

2Is there a more cost-effective setup to run Deadlock?

This CPU + GPU combo costs approximately $765.38 ($465.38 CPU + $300 GPU). Your GeForce MX570 A is currently the main performance bottleneck and its market value ($300) is actually higher than newer, faster alternatives. Trading it or upgrading could yield immediate profit and performance gains. For example, upgrading to the Radeon RX 5600 for around $229 (Rank #347 for value) could deliver noticeably better performance while costing less than your current GPU.

3Which component should I upgrade first to improve Deadlock performance?

For Deadlock, upgrading the GPU would give you the most noticeable improvement. The GeForce MX570 A is the limiting factor here, while the Ryzen 7 9800X3D 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 setup meets the minimum requirements but falls short of the recommended specs. You may need to lower some settings for smooth performance.

6How accurate are these Deadlock FPS estimates for the Ryzen 7 9800X3D and GeForce MX570 A?

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.
