Performance Report
At 1080p, all quality settings exceed 151 FPS, suitable for 144Hz+ monitors. At 1440p, all settings exceed 143 FPS. At 4K, all settings exceed 99 FPS.
The GeForce RTX 3080 Ti is 167% above the recommended GPU (GeForce GTX 1060) for Deadlock. The Ryzen 7 9800X3D is 204% above the recommended CPU (Core i7-6700K).
The GeForce RTX 3080 Ti sets the FPS ceiling at 1080p (high/ultra), 1440p (high/ultra), 4k medium, while the Ryzen 7 9800X3D still has additional frame-generation headroom. The FPS ceiling is closely matched at 1080p (low/medium), 1440p (low/medium), 4k (low/high/ultra).
Approximated average price on current market:
Combo price: $1015.38. At 1080p Ultra, this combo delivers 151 FPS, equivalent to 0.15 FPS per dollar.

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.
At 1440p high, the GeForce RTX 3080 Ti sets the ceiling at about 205 FPS, while the Ryzen 7 9800X3D has headroom up to 226 FPS. In this scenario, the GPU limits the CPU potential by 9% (FPS gap: 21 FPS). Overall distribution: GPU limits 12/12 cells, CPU limits 0/12, balanced 0/12.
The Ryzen 7 9800X3D and GeForce RTX 3080 Ti stay close in effective frame-generation ceiling across most presets, so neither side consistently suppresses the other by a large margin.
| Resolution | Low | Medium | High | Ultra |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1080p (Full HD) | GPU Limits CPU 6% | GPU Limits CPU 6% | GPU Limits CPU 8% | GPU Limits CPU 8% |
| 1440p (2K QHD) | GPU Limits CPU 6% | GPU Limits CPU 6% | GPU Limits CPU 9% | GPU Limits CPU 9% |
| 4K (Ultra HD) | GPU Limits CPU 6% | GPU Limits CPU 7% | GPU Limits CPU 9% | GPU Limits CPU 9% |
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.

Yes, the Ryzen 7 9800X3D paired with the GeForce RTX 3080 Ti can run Deadlock smoothly up to 4k achieving around 99 FPS at Ultra quality. Your GPU is 167% above the recommended specs, and your CPU is 204% above the recommended requirements.
This CPU + GPU combo costs approximately $1015.38 ($465.38 CPU + $550 GPU). Your GeForce RTX 3080 Ti provides phenomenal top-tier performance but at a premium enthusiast price. Since you are essentially at the ceiling of current hardware capabilities, there are no meaningful performance upgrades available. However, if you wanted a more cost-effective build that still delivers a great experience, you could theoretically step down to a high-end card with a significantly better value rating. For example, upgrading to the GeForce RTX 4080 for around $1199 (Rank #290 for value) could deliver noticeably better performance.
Your GeForce RTX 3080 Ti 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 Deadlock performance right now. GPU fully utilized at: 1080p high, 1080p ultra, 1440p high, 1440p ultra, 4k medium.
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 9800X3D and GeForce RTX 3080 Ti 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.
