This section is based on estimated CPU/GPU FPS ceilings, not utilization percentages.
At 1080p low, the Athlon II X4 635 sets the ceiling at about 56 FPS, while the GeForce RTX 4090 could reach 305 FPS. In this scenario, the CPU limits the GPU potential by 82% (FPS gap: 249 FPS). Overall distribution: CPU limits 12/12 cells, GPU limits 0/12, balanced 0/12.
Your Athlon II X4 635 is the limiting side in the heaviest mismatch. This means part of the GeForce RTX 4090 rendering potential remains unused in those settings.
| Resolution | Low | Medium | High | Ultra |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1080p (Full HD) | CPU Limits GPU 82% | CPU Limits GPU 82% | CPU Limits GPU 82% | CPU Limits GPU 80% |
| 1440p (2K QHD) | CPU Limits GPU 57% | CPU Limits GPU 57% | CPU Limits GPU 58% | CPU Limits GPU 58% |
| 4K (Ultra HD) | CPU Limits GPU 52% | CPU Limits GPU 53% | CPU Limits GPU 53% | CPU Limits GPU 53% |
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 Athlon II X4 635 and GeForce RTX 4090 will struggle to run Among Us at smooth framerates. At 1080p Ultra, you can expect around 56 FPS which is classified as "playable". Consider lowering settings or upgrading your hardware.
This CPU + GPU combo costs approximately $1899 ($250 CPU + $1649 GPU). Since the CPU is the main limiting factor, investing in a stronger processor will improve your framerates and overall value. For example, the Ryzen 9 9950X is a great upgrade option for around $649 (Rank #5 for value).
For Among Us, upgrading the CPU would have the biggest impact on performance. The Athlon II X4 635 is currently the limiting factor — the GeForce RTX 4090 has extra headroom that a faster processor could take advantage of. This is especially noticeable at 1080p where CPU performance matters more. CPU-limited at: 1080p low, 1080p medium, 1080p high, 1080p ultra, 1440p low, 1440p medium, 1440p high, 1440p ultra, 4k low, 4k medium, 4k high, 4k ultra.
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 hardware falls below the minimum requirements for this game, which may result in poor performance.
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.
