Performance Report
At 1080p, frame rates range from 52 to 100 FPS depending on quality settings. At 1440p, frame rates range from 39 to 50 FPS. At 4K, frame rates range from 26 to 46 FPS.
The Radeon R9 M470 is 33% above the recommended GPU (GeForce GTX 650) for Among Us. The Ryzen 7 7800X3D is 160% above the recommended CPU (Core i3-4330).
At lower resolutions (1080p low, 1440p low), the Ryzen 7 7800X3D sets the FPS ceiling. As graphical load increases at (1080p (medium/high/ultra), 1440p (high/ultra), all 4k settings), the Radeon R9 M470 becomes the FPS-limiting side. The FPS ceiling is closely matched at 1440p medium.
Approximated average price on current market:
Combo price: $464. At 1080p Ultra, this combo delivers 52 FPS, equivalent to 0.11 FPS per dollar.

This section is based on estimated CPU/GPU FPS ceilings, not utilization percentages.
At 4k ultra, the Radeon R9 M470 sets the ceiling at about 26 FPS, while the Ryzen 7 7800X3D has headroom up to 65 FPS. In this scenario, the GPU limits the CPU potential by 60% (FPS gap: 39 FPS). Overall distribution: GPU limits 9/12 cells, CPU limits 2/12, balanced 1/12.
Your Radeon R9 M470 is the limiting side in the heaviest mismatch. This means part of the Ryzen 7 7800X3D frame-generation potential remains unused in those settings.
| Resolution | Low | Medium | High | Ultra |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1080p (Full HD) | CPU Limits GPU 11% | GPU Limits CPU 11% | GPU Limits CPU 24% | GPU Limits CPU 35% |
| 1440p (2K QHD) | CPU Limits GPU 11% | Balanced | GPU Limits CPU 24% | GPU Limits CPU 44% |
| 4K (Ultra HD) | GPU Limits CPU 21% | GPU Limits CPU 36% | GPU Limits CPU 44% | GPU Limits CPU 60% |
We estimate the maximum FPS the processor can sustain and the maximum FPS the graphics card can sustain in each setting, then compare those limits directly.
Limit Factor formula: (stronger - weaker) / stronger. Example: if CPU ceiling is 200 FPS and GPU ceiling is 140 FPS, then GPU limits CPU by 30%.
CPU Limits GPU means the processor ceiling is lower. GPU Limits CPU means the graphics ceiling is lower. Balanced means the FPS ceilings are close enough that the gap is negligible.
A component can still be the FPS limiter without reaching 100% utilization. The displayed percentages are derived from FPS ceilings, not generic utilization heuristics.

The Ryzen 7 7800X3D and Radeon R9 M470 will struggle to run Among Us at smooth framerates. At 1080p Ultra, you can expect around 52 FPS which is classified as "playable". Consider lowering settings or upgrading your hardware.
This CPU + GPU combo costs approximately $464 ($384 CPU + $80 GPU). Since the GPU is the main limiting factor, investing in a stronger GPU will improve your framerates and overall value. For example, upgrading to the GeForce GTX 1080 SLI (móvel) (Rank #2 for value) could deliver noticeably better performance.
For Among Us, upgrading the GPU would give you the most noticeable improvement. The Radeon R9 M470 is the limiting factor here, while the Ryzen 7 7800X3D still has spare capacity. A more powerful GPU would unlock higher FPS, especially at higher resolutions and quality presets. GPU-limited at: 1080p medium, 1080p high, 1080p ultra, 1440p high, 1440p ultra, 4k low, 4k medium, 4k high, 4k ultra. CPU-limited at: 1080p low, 1440p low.
Among Us does not currently support Frame Generation technologies like DLSS 3 or FSR 3. Your performance is based entirely on native rendering. If the game adds support in a future update, newer GPUs will benefit the most.
Among Us requires at minimum a Core i3-4330 (CPU) and GeForce GT 610 (GPU) with 1 GB RAM and 250 MB storage. For the recommended experience, you need a Core i3-4330 and GeForce GTX 650 with 4 GB RAM. Your Ryzen 7 7800X3D and Radeon R9 M470 both exceed the recommended specs, so you're well-positioned for a great experience.
These Among Us FPS results are not arbitrary numbers. They come from calculations informed by thousands of real gaming benchmarks, and the typical accuracy range is around 10% to 15%. That makes them far more useful than generic FPS calculators that simply invent values without a benchmark foundation. Actual in-game performance can still vary with drivers, updates, RAM configuration, cooling, and the exact scene being rendered.
Performance estimates are based on synthetic benchmarks and hardware capabilities.
Results may vary based on drivers, OS, and background processes.
