Dead by Daylight benchmark on GTX 1060 3GB: FPS by resolution and quality
Pick yours and we recalculate the whole table above with it.
Dead by Daylight FPS with a GTX 1060 3GB and a Intel Core i5-13400
| Quality | 1080p (Full HD) | 1440p (2K) | 4K (Ultra HD) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ultra | 58FPS min 50Acceptable | 36FPS min 32Acceptable | 14FPS min 13Unplayable |
| High | 76FPS min 66Good | 47FPS min 41Acceptable | 18FPS min 16Poor |
| Medium | 99FPS min 86Good | 61FPS min 54Good | 24FPS min 21Poor |
| Low | 128FPS min 111Excellent | 79FPS min 70Good | 30FPS min 27Acceptable |
| Bottleneck (estimated) | balanced | GPU 43% | GPU 78% |
The percentage estimates how much of the stronger component's capability goes unused because of the other one.
This one does matter: from the Intel Core i5-10400F downwards the processor becomes the brake on the GTX 1060 3GB. There is 18% between the slowest and fastest CPU in the table. One caveat: this is at 1080p, where the CPU weighs most. At 1440p and 4K the graphics card takes over and the processor stops mattering.
FSR performance: FPS with AI upscaling
Upscaling renders Dead by Daylight at a lower internal resolution and reconstructs the image, so you trade a little sharpness for extra frames. These are the estimated figures for the GTX 1060 3GB with FSR enabled, starting from its native Ultra FPS.
| Resolution | Native | FSR Quality | FSR Performance |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1080p | 58 | 73 | 84 |
| 1440p | 36 | 49 | 59 |
| 4K | 14 | 20 | 26 |
About ray tracing: every figure on this page is with ray tracing off. The GTX 1060 3GB has no dedicated hardware for it, so it is an option best left disabled.
Estimated figures. The real gain varies by game and by the version of the technology.
Is the CPU or the graphics card holding you back?
These FPS assume a mid-range CPU that isn't a bottleneck — roughly a Intel Core i5-13400 — and 16 GB of RAM.
The GTX 1060 3GB and that processor are well matched in Dead by Daylight: neither clearly holds the other back, so the table figures are a fair reflection of the pair. At 4K it flips: there the graphics card becomes the limit.
Is the GTX 1060 3GB Enough for Dead by Daylight?
The GTX 1060 3GB delivers 58 FPS at 1080p Ultra in Dead by Daylight. Performance is acceptable but not ideal. Consider lowering the resolution or quality.
At 1440p it gets 36 FPS and at 4K 14 FPS at Ultra quality.
