Performance Report

Deadlock

Quadro M4000M + Ryzen 7 9800X3D
🎮Visual Experience

At 1080p, frame rates range from 44 to 87 FPS depending on quality settings. At 1440p, frame rates range from 39 to 69 FPS. At 4K, frame rates range from 20 to 31 FPS.

Official Requirements

The Quadro M4000M is 39% below recommended, but 52% above minimum for Deadlock. The Ryzen 7 9800X3D is 204% above the recommended CPU (Core i7-6700K).

⚙️FPS Ceiling Analysis

The Quadro M4000M sets the FPS ceiling at all 1080p settings, all 1440p settings, all 4k settings, while the Ryzen 7 9800X3D still has additional frame-generation headroom.

Performance Limiter Analysis

Ryzen 7 9800X3D|Quadro M4000M

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 Quadro M4000M sets the ceiling at about 23 FPS, while the Ryzen 7 9800X3D has headroom up to 126 FPS. In this scenario, the GPU limits the CPU potential by 82% (FPS gap: 103 FPS). Overall distribution: GPU limits 12/12 cells, CPU limits 0/12, balanced 0/12.

Verdict

GPU Limits CPU

Your Quadro M4000M 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 Quadro M4000M run Deadlock well?

The Ryzen 7 9800X3D and Quadro M4000M will struggle to run Deadlock at smooth framerates. At 1080p Ultra, you can expect around 44 FPS which is classified as "playable". Consider lowering settings or upgrading your hardware.

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

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.

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

For Deadlock, upgrading the GPU would give you the most noticeable improvement. The Quadro M4000M 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 Quadro M4000M?

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.
