This section is based on estimated CPU/GPU FPS ceilings, not utilization percentages.
At 1440p medium, the Core i7-13700KF sets the ceiling at about 201 FPS, while the GeForce RTX 4090 could reach 215 FPS. In this scenario, the CPU limits the GPU potential by 7% (FPS gap: 14 FPS). Overall distribution: CPU limits 1/12 cells, GPU limits 0/12, balanced 11/12. Confidence is low because both ceilings are very close in this cell.
The Core i7-13700KF and GeForce RTX 4090 stay close in effective frame-generation ceiling across most presets, so neither side consistently suppresses the other by a large margin.
| Resolution | Low | Medium | High | Ultra |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1080p (Full HD) | Balanced | Balanced | Balanced | Balanced |
| 1440p (2K QHD) | Balanced | CPU Limits GPU 7% | Balanced | Balanced |
| 4K (Ultra HD) | Balanced | Balanced | Balanced | Balanced |
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 Core i7-13700KF + GeForce RTX 4090 pairing runs this title with CPU utilization between 35% and 69% and GPU utilization between 69% and 99%. Core i7-13700KF stays in a controlled operating range, while GeForce RTX 4090 carries most of the graphics load at heavier visual settings. As resolution scales, average GPU load rises from 81% at 1080p to 89% at 4K, while CPU averages move from 59% to 44%.
From a utilization perspective, this is a GPU-heavy load profile. At 4K (Ultra HD) High, the GeForce RTX 4090 averages 97% usage (95-99%), while the Core i7-13700KF stays at 39% (35-43%). This shows the graphics pipeline is carrying most of the workload, but utilization alone does not define the FPS limiter.
At 1080p, averages sit around CPU 59% and GPU 81%. At 1440p, that shifts to CPU 52% and GPU 88%, and at 4K it reaches CPU 44% and GPU 89%. This shows that workload scaling is present on both components, with stronger pressure on the GPU.
1080p (Full HD) High is the most balanced preset based on this dataset. It runs around CPU 53% (47-59%) and GPU 87% (83-91%), which keeps GeForce RTX 4090 well utilized without constant max-out behavior while Core i7-13700KF remains stable for consistent frame delivery.
Upgrade priority should be the GPU. The GeForce RTX 4090 reaches 97% average load at 4K (Ultra HD) High while the Core i7-13700KF still has headroom, so a faster graphics card would deliver the largest uplift.
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.

Yes, the Core i7-13700KF paired with the GeForce RTX 4090 can run Once Human smoothly up to 4k achieving around 106 FPS at Ultra quality. Your GPU is 279% above the recommended specs, and your CPU is 273% above the recommended requirements.
This CPU + GPU combo costs approximately $1999 ($350 CPU (Rank #93 Value) + $1649 GPU (Rank #77 Value)). Your Core i7-13700KF provides phenomenal top-tier performance but at a premium enthusiast price. Since you are essentially at the ceiling of current hardware capabilities, there are no meaningful performance upgrades available. However, if you wanted a more cost-effective build that still delivers a great experience, you could theoretically step down to a high-end processor with a significantly better value rating. For example, the Ryzen 9 9950X is a great upgrade option for around $649 (Rank #5 for value).
Your Core i7-13700KF is already an incredibly powerful processor. While it's technically the first component to hit its limit (which is completely normal in state-of-the-art builds), there is no meaningful upgrade path that would drastically improve your Once Human performance right now. CPU fully utilized at: 1440p medium.
Once Human 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.
Once Human requires at minimum a Core i5-4460 (CPU) and GeForce GTX 750 Ti (GPU) with 8 GB RAM and 55 GB storage. For the recommended experience, you need a Core i7-7700 and GeForce GTX 1060 with 16 GB RAM. Your Core i7-13700KF and GeForce RTX 4090 both exceed the recommended specs, so you're well-positioned for a great experience.
These Once Human 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.
