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, performance runs at around 42 FPS. At 1440p, frame rates range from 36 to 42 FPS. At 4K, frame rates range from 22 to 42 FPS.
The GeForce RTX 4090 is 692% above the recommended GPU (GeForce GTX 760) for Dead by Daylight. The Turion II Ultra M620 is 75% below minimum CPU requirement.
At lower resolutions (1080p (low/medium/high), 1440p low), the Turion II Ultra M620 sets the FPS ceiling. As graphical load increases at (1440p ultra, 4k (medium/high/ultra)), the GeForce RTX 4090 becomes the FPS-limiting side. The FPS ceiling is closely matched at 1080p ultra, 1440p (medium/high), 4k low.
This section is based on estimated CPU/GPU FPS ceilings, not utilization percentages.
At 4k ultra, the GeForce RTX 4090 sets the ceiling at about 19 FPS, while the Turion II Ultra M620 has headroom up to 42 FPS. In this scenario, the GPU limits the CPU potential by 55% (FPS gap: 23 FPS). Overall distribution: GPU limits 4/12 cells, CPU limits 4/12, balanced 4/12.
Your GeForce RTX 4090 is the limiting side in the heaviest mismatch. This means part of the Turion II Ultra M620 frame-generation potential remains unused in those settings.
| Resolution | Low | Medium | High | Ultra |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1080p (Full HD) | CPU Limits GPU 52% | CPU Limits GPU 31% | CPU Limits GPU 26% | Balanced |
| 1440p (2K QHD) | CPU Limits GPU 29% | Balanced | Balanced | GPU Limits CPU 24% |
| 4K (Ultra HD) | Balanced | GPU Limits CPU 29% | GPU Limits CPU 33% | GPU Limits CPU 55% |
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.
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 hardware is below minimum requirements. CPU is the limiting factor (75% below minimum). Expect performance issues. Low settings recommended.

The Turion II Ultra M620 and GeForce RTX 4090 will struggle to run Dead by Daylight at smooth framerates. At 1080p Ultra, you can expect around 42 FPS which is classified as "playable". 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 Dead by Daylight performance right now. GPU fully utilized at: 1440p ultra, 4k medium, 4k high, 4k ultra. CPU-limited at: 1080p low, 1080p medium, 1080p high, 1440p low.
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 hardware falls below the minimum requirements for this game, which may result in poor performance.
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.
