This section is based on estimated CPU/GPU FPS ceilings, not utilization percentages.
At 4k ultra, the Xeon E7-4880 v2 sets the ceiling at about 77 FPS, while the GeForce RTX 4090 could reach 94 FPS. In this scenario, the CPU limits the GPU potential by 18% (FPS gap: 17 FPS). Overall distribution: CPU limits 12/12 cells, GPU limits 0/12, balanced 0/12.
Your Xeon E7-4880 v2 is the limiting side in the heaviest mismatch. This means part of the GeForce RTX 4090 rendering potential remains unused in those settings.
| Resolution | Low | Medium | High | Ultra |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1080p (Full HD) | CPU Limits GPU 12% | CPU Limits GPU 12% | CPU Limits GPU 13% | CPU Limits GPU 16% |
| 1440p (2K QHD) | CPU Limits GPU 7% | CPU Limits GPU 9% | CPU Limits GPU 9% | CPU Limits GPU 14% |
| 4K (Ultra HD) | CPU Limits GPU 7% | CPU Limits GPU 13% | CPU Limits GPU 15% | CPU Limits GPU 18% |
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.

Yes, the Xeon E7-4880 v2 paired with the GeForce RTX 4090 can run Deadlock smoothly up to 4k achieving around 80 FPS at Ultra quality. Your GPU is 279% above the recommended specs, and your CPU is 268% above the recommended requirements.
This CPU + GPU combo costs approximately $1834 ($185 CPU (Rank #524 Value) + $1649 GPU (Rank #77 Value)). Your Xeon E7-4880 v2 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 processor with a significantly better value rating. For example, the EPYC 4585PX is a great upgrade option for around $699 (Rank #66 for value).
Your Xeon E7-4880 v2 is already an incredibly powerful processor. While it's technically the first component to hit its limit (which is completely normal in state-of-the-art builds), there is no meaningful upgrade path that would drastically improve your Deadlock performance right now. CPU 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 Xeon E7-4880 v2 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.
