An asymmetrical horror game locked at 60 FPS. It is generally GPU-limited at high settings but runs on most mid-range hardware.
This game has a built-in FPS cap of 60 FPS
Actual FPS may vary based on RAM speed, background processes, and other system factors
Performance Report
At 1080p, all quality settings exceed 95 FPS. At 1440p, frame rates range from 55 to 62 FPS. At 4K, frame rates range from 50 to 59 FPS.
The RTX 2000 Ada Generation Embedded GPU is 213% above the recommended GPU (GeForce GTX 760) for Dead by Daylight. The Ryzen 7 9800X3D is 649% above the recommended CPU (Core i3-4170).
The RTX 2000 Ada Generation Embedded GPU 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.
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 1080p medium, the RTX 2000 Ada Generation Embedded GPU sets the ceiling at about 140 FPS, while the Ryzen 7 9800X3D has headroom up to 263 FPS. In this scenario, the GPU limits the CPU potential by 47% (FPS gap: 123 FPS). Overall distribution: GPU limits 12/12 cells, CPU limits 0/12, balanced 0/12.
Your RTX 2000 Ada Generation Embedded GPU 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 44% | GPU Limits CPU 47% | GPU Limits CPU 47% | GPU Limits CPU 47% |
| 1440p (2K QHD) | GPU Limits CPU 44% | GPU Limits CPU 47% | GPU Limits CPU 47% | GPU Limits CPU 47% |
| 4K (Ultra HD) | GPU Limits CPU 44% | GPU Limits CPU 47% | GPU Limits CPU 47% | GPU Limits CPU 47% |
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 RTX 2000 Ada Generation Embedded GPU can run Dead by Daylight smoothly up to 1080p achieving around 95 FPS at Ultra quality. Your GPU is 213% above the recommended specs, and your CPU is 649% 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.
For Dead by Daylight, upgrading the GPU would give you the most noticeable improvement. The RTX 2000 Ada Generation Embedded GPU 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.
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 9800X3D and RTX 2000 Ada Generation Embedded GPU 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.
