Actual FPS may vary based on RAM speed, background processes, and other system factors
Performance Report
At 1080p, frame rates range from 12 to 28 FPS depending on quality settings. At 1440p, frame rates range from 5 to 14 FPS. At 4K, frame rates range from 3 to 8 FPS.
The GeForce RTX 4090 is 279% above the recommended GPU (GeForce GTX 1060) for Deadlock. The Ryzen 9 PRO 6950H is 81% above the recommended CPU (Core i7-6700K).
The GeForce RTX 4090 sets the FPS ceiling at all 1080p settings, all 1440p settings, all 4k settings, while the Ryzen 9 PRO 6950H still has additional frame-generation headroom.
This section is based on estimated CPU/GPU FPS ceilings, not utilization percentages.
At 4k high, the GeForce RTX 4090 sets the ceiling at about 5 FPS, while the Ryzen 9 PRO 6950H has headroom up to 64 FPS. In this scenario, the GPU limits the CPU potential by 92% (FPS gap: 59 FPS). Overall distribution: GPU limits 12/12 cells, CPU limits 0/12, balanced 0/12.
Your GeForce RTX 4090 is the limiting side in the heaviest mismatch. This means part of the Ryzen 9 PRO 6950H frame-generation potential remains unused in those settings.
| Resolution | Low | Medium | High | Ultra |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1080p (Full HD) | GPU Limits CPU 73% | GPU Limits CPU 75% | GPU Limits CPU 81% | GPU Limits CPU 83% |
| 1440p (2K QHD) | GPU Limits CPU 85% | GPU Limits CPU 87% | GPU Limits CPU 89% | GPU Limits CPU 89% |
| 4K (Ultra HD) | GPU Limits CPU 86% | GPU Limits CPU 88% | GPU Limits CPU 92% | GPU Limits CPU 92% |
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, not generic utilization heuristics.

The Ryzen 9 PRO 6950H + GeForce RTX 4090 pairing runs this title with CPU utilization between 33% and 90% and GPU utilization between 95% and 100%. Ryzen 9 PRO 6950H stays in a controlled operating range, while GeForce RTX 4090 carries most of the graphics load at heavier visual settings. As resolution scales, average GPU load rises from 98% at 1080p to 100% at 4K, while CPU averages move from 69% to 45%.
The utilization pattern is relatively even. The GeForce RTX 4090 reaches 100% average at its highest-load preset, while the Ryzen 9 PRO 6950H peaks at 79% average. This suggests a fairly controlled load distribution, but the actual FPS-limiting side should still be read from the limiter analysis above.
At 1080p, averages sit around CPU 69% and GPU 98%. At 1440p, that shifts to CPU 56% and GPU 100%, and at 4K it reaches CPU 45% and GPU 100%. This shows that workload scaling is present on both components, with stronger pressure on the GPU.
1080p (Full HD) Low is the most balanced preset based on this dataset. It runs around CPU 79% (68-90%) and GPU 96% (95-97%), which keeps GeForce RTX 4090 well utilized without constant max-out behavior while Ryzen 9 PRO 6950H remains stable for consistent frame delivery.
Current utilization does not show an urgent upgrade requirement for either component; the Ryzen 9 PRO 6950H and GeForce RTX 4090 remain reasonably matched for this title.
Understanding Hardware Utilization: These percentages represent how much of your component's maximum processing power is actively being used during gameplay. They describe hardware load, but they do not directly tell you which component sets the FPS ceiling.
Important: a CPU or GPU can still be the FPS limiter without reaching 100% utilization. Two processors can both show 40% usage and still deliver very different frame rates, depending on per-core speed, cache, engine threading, driver overhead, and frame preparation efficiency.

The Ryzen 9 PRO 6950H and GeForce RTX 4090 will struggle to run Deadlock at smooth framerates. At 1080p Ultra, you can expect around 12 FPS which is classified as "struggling". Consider lowering settings or upgrading your hardware.
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.
Your GeForce RTX 4090 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 low, 1080p medium, 1080p high, 1080p ultra, 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 9 PRO 6950H and GeForce RTX 4090 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.
