Performance Report
At 1080p, all quality settings exceed 164 FPS, suitable for 144Hz+ monitors. At 1440p, all settings exceed 156 FPS. At 4K, all settings exceed 95 FPS.
The Radeon RX 6800 XT is 148% above the recommended GPU (GeForce GTX 1060) for Deadlock. The Ryzen 7 9800X3D is 204% above the recommended CPU (Core i7-6700K).
The Radeon RX 6800 XT sets the FPS ceiling at 1080p (low/medium/high), all 1440p settings, all 4k settings, while the Ryzen 7 9800X3D still has additional frame-generation headroom. The FPS ceiling is closely matched at 1080p ultra.
Approximated average price on current market:
Combo price: $1208.38. At 1080p Ultra, this combo delivers 164 FPS, equivalent to 0.14 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 4k low, the Radeon RX 6800 XT sets the ceiling at about 150 FPS, while the Ryzen 7 9800X3D has headroom up to 188 FPS. In this scenario, the GPU limits the CPU potential by 20% (FPS gap: 38 FPS). Overall distribution: GPU limits 12/12 cells, CPU limits 0/12, balanced 0/12.
Your Radeon RX 6800 XT is the limiting side in the heaviest mismatch. This means part of the Ryzen 7 9800X3D frame-generation potential remains unused in those settings.
| Resolution | Low | Medium | High | Ultra |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1080p (Full HD) | GPU Limits CPU 14% | GPU Limits CPU 14% | GPU Limits CPU 14% | GPU Limits CPU 14% |
| 1440p (2K QHD) | GPU Limits CPU 15% | GPU Limits CPU 15% | GPU Limits CPU 15% | GPU Limits CPU 15% |
| 4K (Ultra HD) | GPU Limits CPU 20% | GPU Limits CPU 20% | GPU Limits CPU 20% | GPU Limits CPU 20% |
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.
See how your processor and graphics card compare against the game official minimum and recommended system specs. The placement of your hardware is calculated using relative synthetic performance scores to help you gauge overall playability.
Your CPU is 204% above and your GPU is 148% above the recommended specs. Ultra settings at 1080p, or High at 1440p/4K.

Yes, the Ryzen 7 9800X3D paired with the Radeon RX 6800 XT can run Deadlock smoothly up to 4k achieving around 95 FPS at Ultra quality. Your GPU is 148% above the recommended specs, and your CPU is 204% above the recommended requirements.
This CPU + GPU combo costs approximately $1208.38 ($465.38 CPU + $743 GPU). Since the GPU is the main limiting factor, investing in a stronger GPU will improve your framerates and overall value. For example, upgrading to the GeForce RTX 4080 for around $1199 (Rank #290 for value) could deliver noticeably better performance.
For Deadlock, upgrading the GPU would give you the most noticeable improvement. The Radeon RX 6800 XT 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, 1440p low, 1440p medium, 1440p high, 1440p ultra, 4k low, 4k medium, 4k high, 4k ultra.
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 Radeon RX 6800 XT 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.
