Performance Analysis
At 1080p high, our model places NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 near 75 FPS in Deadlock. At 1440p, that typically translates to around 56 FPS with similar quality targets. This places the card in the enthusiast tier for this title, with a smooth experience profile. NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 provides smooth gameplay in Deadlock, with enough headroom for visual tweaks.
Deadlock is a third-person hero shooter built on Valve's Source 2 engine, featuring large maps, real-time physics, and up to 12 simultaneous players with ability-heavy characters, which pushes both CPU and GPU. The game's combination of MOBA-style lane structures and fast-paced shooter mechanics requires consistent frame delivery, making a mid-range GPU like the RTX 2080 advisable for smooth 1080p play. As the game is still in active development and beta, requirements are estimates and may increase at full release.
NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 supports DLSS 3 with Frame Generation in compatible titles. In games like Deadlock that support it, Frame Generation can push perceived frame rates well beyond the base estimate above — particularly useful at 1440p where the GPU is more heavily loaded.
- Use a medium/high mix and prioritize stable frame times over peak FPS spikes.
- Ray tracing can be enabled with quality upscaling for a good visual/performance balance.
- Disable heavy post-processing options first for easy gains
In short, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 is a smooth option for Deadlock when tuned correctly.
Frequently Asked Questions
- Can I play Deadlock on a laptop with an integrated GPU?
- Integrated graphics are not supported. Deadlock requires at minimum a dedicated GPU equivalent to the NVIDIA GTX 960, so a discrete graphics card is necessary for playable performance.
- Is Deadlock optimized for AMD hardware?
- Deadlock runs on Valve's Source 2 engine which has broad driver support for both NVIDIA and AMD GPUs. AMD cards equivalent to the RX 470 (minimum) and RX 6800 (recommended) perform comparably to their NVIDIA counterparts at the same tier.
