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 106 FPS, while the Ryzen Threadripper PRO 7995WX has headroom up to 121 FPS. In this scenario, the GPU limits the CPU potential by 12% (FPS gap: 15 FPS). Overall distribution: GPU limits 8/12 cells, CPU limits 0/12, balanced 4/12.
The Ryzen Threadripper PRO 7995WX and GeForce RTX 4090 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 8% | GPU Limits CPU 6% | GPU Limits CPU 8% | Balanced |
| 1440p (2K QHD) | GPU Limits CPU 7% | Balanced | GPU Limits CPU 7% | Balanced |
| 4K (Ultra HD) | GPU Limits CPU 11% | GPU Limits CPU 10% | GPU Limits CPU 12% | Balanced |
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 Threadripper PRO 7995WX + GeForce RTX 4090 pairing runs this title with CPU utilization between 31% and 94% and GPU utilization between 50% and 94%. Ryzen Threadripper PRO 7995WX reaches high load in heavier scenarios, while GeForce RTX 4090 is utilized efficiently without persistent saturation. As resolution scales, average GPU load rises from 65% at 1080p to 82% at 4K, while CPU averages move from 76% to 54%.
From a utilization perspective, this is a CPU-heavy load profile. At 1080p (Full HD) Low, the Ryzen Threadripper PRO 7995WX reaches 86% average load (77-94%), while the GeForce RTX 4090 remains comparatively lower at 65% (51-79%). This points to heavier CPU-side frame preparation work, but utilization alone does not define the FPS limiter.
At 1080p, averages sit around CPU 76% and GPU 65%. At 1440p, that shifts to CPU 64% and GPU 66%, and at 4K it reaches CPU 54% and GPU 82%. This shows that workload scaling is present on both components, with stronger pressure on the GPU.
4K (Ultra HD) Low is the most balanced preset based on this dataset. It runs around CPU 62% (62-63%) and GPU 82% (70-93%), which keeps GeForce RTX 4090 well utilized without constant max-out behavior while Ryzen Threadripper PRO 7995WX remains stable for consistent frame delivery.
Current utilization does not show an urgent upgrade requirement for either component; the Ryzen Threadripper PRO 7995WX 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.

Yes, the Ryzen Threadripper PRO 7995WX paired with the GeForce RTX 4090 can run Deadlock smoothly up to 4k achieving around 93 FPS at Ultra quality. Your GPU is 279% above the recommended specs, and your CPU is 988% above the recommended requirements.
This CPU + GPU combo costs approximately $11528.97 ($9879.97 CPU (Rank #428 Value) + $1649 GPU (Rank #77 Value)). Your GeForce RTX 4090 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.
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 high, 1440p low, 1440p high, 4k low, 4k medium, 4k high.
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 Threadripper PRO 7995WX 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.
