The ultimate Deadlock performance guide

Topic: Deadlock: Ultimate performance guide: best settings, fps boost and system requirements

Ingame lags take a massive toll on a users enjoyment of the game and also insanely limit their potential skills, by not having fluent fps. More frames per second mean potential faster reaction times as well as an overall smoother game experience.

Although turning your settings to the lowest possible might seem the right solution, it most of the times is not. Absolute lowest settings might boost your fps but will not give you the edge in gun fights as you have less visibility and an overall obscured view.

The best settings for Deadlock

Deadlock has a relatively low amount of settings with which you can make the game look and feel the way you like it to. Most of them do not have a huge amount of impact on the performance except for the major settings like Render Quality and Texture Quality. However if you are looking to boost your fps or give you a slight competitive advantage with better visibility - or just to get the game running without lags - here are what we find to be the best settings for Deadlock at the moment.

Resolution: 1920 x 1080 (or your monitor’s native resolution)
Refresh Rate: Your monitor’s highest (165 Hz e.g.)
Display Mode: Fullscreen
Brightness: To your liking however, 90 nicely balanced
Use advanced settings: Enabled
Render Quality: 60 percent
Anti-Aliasing: FXAA
Screen Space AO: Low
Distance Field AO: Off
Texture Quality: Med
(Medium has higher performance impact, but the texture gives you a better overall feeling and competitive advantage)
Distance Field Shadows: Enabled
Displacement Mapping: Disabled
Post Process Bloom: Enabled
Effects Bloom: Disabled
VSync: Disabled
Area Lights: Disabled
Depth of Field: Disabled
Distance Field Reflections: Disabled
MBOIT: Disabled

If you have a 4k or 8k monitor, make sure to decrease the resolution as a higher resolution will cause immense performance losses. Rather having a slightly blurry gameplay, than less frames than your monitors refresh rate. It is recommended to use FXAA Anti-Aliasing to smooth out edges in the game, to have a smoother overall look and feeling when grinding countless hours. Turning Anti-Aliasing off will only give you a small performance boost, but the overall ingame look worsens a lot, so decide for yourself.

Secret Advice for increased fps on low end Computers:

If after our article you still struggle with performance and fps, try changing your monitors refresh rate within your NVIDIA control panel from e.g. 165 Hz to 100 Hz and also set your refresh rate in Deadlock to the same Hz.
