Setting and environment
The game is set in a cyberpunk future. Play is structured around runs that rebuild the layout each attempt. It is played from a first person view. The publisher supplies 16 storefront screenshots of these environments. Because the game assembles its spaces as it goes, the cost lands on the CPU in bursts rather than steadily on the GPU.
Why Deadlink is demanding
Deadlink sits in the middle of the demand range, targeting AMD Radeon RX 590 or NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060, a tier a mainstream card from the last few generations reaches without difficulty. Its 16 GB RAM requirement matches what a typical machine already has. A 64 bit version of Windows is required. DirectX 12 is named, so Deadlink expects a graphics driver and card from the modern era rather than merely a fast one. Deadlink takes about 15 GB of disk space.
This reading comes from the published requirements and our own benchmark tables, not from the store listing.
Can you run Deadlink?
Deadlink targets a mainstream modern PC: AMD Radeon™ HD 7970 or NVIDIA GeForce GTX 680 2 GB and 6 GB of RAM for the minimum, stepping up to AMD Radeon™ RX 590 or NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 6GB for the recommended experience. No single part dominates the requirements, so a balanced mid-range build clears it.
Bottleneck: GPU
Projected by resolution
| Resolution | Projection | Headroom |
|---|---|---|
| 1080p | Comfortable | 1.73x |
| 1440p | Borderline | 0.98x |
| 4K | Below the bar | 0.43x |
A projection, not a measurement. We scale the published GPU requirement by pixel count, since 1440p draws 1.78 times the pixels of 1080p and 4K draws 4 times as many, then compare against RTX 3060 / Ryzen 5 build. The publisher did not state a target resolution, so 1080p is assumed as the baseline. We hold no frame rate data, so no FPS figure is claimed. Headroom above 1 means the reference machine has room to spare at that resolution.

Each card is compared against Deadlink's published GPU requirement, assuming an otherwise-capable PC. Laptop rows use the real mobile chip's benchmark, a mobile GPU is always slower than its desktop namesake.
