Deadlock benchmark on GTX 970: FPS by resolution and quality
Pick yours and we recalculate the whole table above with it.
Deadlock FPS with a GTX 970 and a Intel Core i5-13400
| Quality | 1080p (Full HD) | 1440p (2K) | 4K (Ultra HD) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ultra | 31FPS min 27Acceptable | 21FPS min 19Poor | 7FPS min 6Unplayable |
| High | 40FPS min 35Acceptable | 27FPS min 24Poor | 10FPS min 9Unplayable |
| Medium | 53FPS min 47Acceptable | 35FPS min 31Acceptable | 13FPS min 12Unplayable |
| Low | 68FPS min 60Good | 46FPS min 41Acceptable | 16FPS min 14Poor |
| Bottleneck (estimated) | GPU 51% | GPU 67% | GPU 88% |
The percentage estimates how much of the stronger component's capability goes unused because of the other one.
Almost any modern CPU performs the same here: there is only 0% between the slowest and the fastest in the table. If you were wondering whether to upgrade your processor for Deadlock, it is not worth it. 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 Deadlock 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 970 with FSR enabled, starting from its native Ultra FPS.
| Resolution | Native | FSR Quality | FSR Performance |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1080p | 31 | 39 | 45 |
| 1440p | 21 | 28 | 35 |
| 4K | 7 | 10 | 13 |
About ray tracing: every figure on this page is with ray tracing off. The GTX 970 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.
Here the graphics card is the brake: the GTX 970 is what caps the frame rate in Deadlock. A faster processor would hardly change the result.
Is the GTX 970 Enough for Deadlock?
The GTX 970 delivers 31 FPS at 1080p Ultra in Deadlock. Performance is acceptable but not ideal. Consider lowering the resolution or quality.
At 1440p it gets 21 FPS and at 4K 7 FPS at Ultra quality.
