This section is based on estimated CPU/GPU FPS ceilings, not utilization percentages.
At 1080p medium, the Celeron M 560 sets the ceiling at about 17 FPS, while the GeForce RTX 4090 could reach 313 FPS. In this scenario, the CPU limits the GPU potential by 95% (FPS gap: 296 FPS). Overall distribution: CPU limits 12/12 cells, GPU limits 0/12, balanced 0/12.
Your Celeron M 560 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 94% | CPU Limits GPU 95% | CPU Limits GPU 95% | CPU Limits GPU 95% |
| 1440p (2K QHD) | CPU Limits GPU 68% | CPU Limits GPU 69% | CPU Limits GPU 72% | CPU Limits GPU 73% |
| 4K (Ultra HD) | CPU Limits GPU 65% | CPU Limits GPU 67% | CPU Limits GPU 71% | CPU Limits GPU 72% |
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 Celeron M 560 + GeForce RTX 4090 pairing runs this title with CPU utilization between 2% and 24% and GPU utilization between 1% and 16%. Celeron M 560 keeps significant headroom across presets, while GeForce RTX 4090 is utilized efficiently without persistent saturation. As resolution scales, average GPU load rises from 6% at 1080p to 6% at 4K, while CPU averages move from 15% to 15%.
Neither component is close to saturation: CPU tops out at 24% and GPU at 16%. This pattern suggests possible engine-side limits, an FPS cap, or workload constraints unrelated to raw hardware throughput. It also shows why low utilization does not automatically mean there is no FPS limiter.
At 1080p, averages sit around CPU 15% and GPU 6%. At 1440p, that shifts to CPU 15% and GPU 6%, and at 4K it reaches CPU 15% and GPU 6%. This shows that workload scaling is limited, which can indicate engine-side constraints.
1080p (Full HD) Ultra is the most balanced preset based on this dataset. It runs around CPU 7% (3-11%) and GPU 10% (3-16%), which keeps GeForce RTX 4090 well utilized without constant max-out behavior while Celeron M 560 remains stable for consistent frame delivery.
Current utilization does not show an urgent upgrade requirement for either component; the Celeron M 560 and GeForce RTX 4090 remain reasonably matched for this title.
Understanding Hardware Utilization: These percentages represent how much of your component's maximum processing power is actively being used during gameplay. They describe hardware load, but they do not directly tell you which component sets the FPS ceiling.
Important: a CPU or GPU can still be the FPS limiter without reaching 100% utilization. Two processors can both show 40% usage and still deliver very different frame rates, depending on per-core speed, cache, engine threading, driver overhead, and frame preparation efficiency.

The Celeron M 560 and GeForce RTX 4090 will struggle to run Among Us at smooth framerates. At 1080p Ultra, you can expect around 20 FPS which is classified as "struggling". Consider lowering settings or upgrading your hardware.
This CPU + GPU combo costs approximately $1659 ($10 CPU + $1649 GPU (Rank #77 Value)). 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 7845HX is a great upgrade option (Rank #1 for value).
For Among Us, upgrading the CPU would have the biggest impact on performance. The Celeron M 560 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.
