Among Us
Extremely lightweight. The main requirement is a stable network connection. It runs on almost anything with a screen.
This game has a built-in FPS cap of 60 FPS
Actual FPS may vary based on RAM speed, background processes, and other system factors
Performance Report
At 1080p, all quality settings exceed 114 FPS. At 1440p, all settings exceed 93 FPS. At 4K, all settings exceed 86 FPS.
The GeForce RTX 5090 is 2113% above the recommended GPU (GeForce GTX 650) for Among Us. The Core i7-3820QM is 58% below recommended, but 61% above minimum.
At lower resolutions (1080p (low/medium/high)), the Core i7-3820QM sets the FPS ceiling. As graphical load increases at (all 1440p settings, all 4k settings), the GeForce RTX 5090 becomes the FPS-limiting side. The FPS ceiling is closely matched at 1080p ultra.
This chart answers a simple question: which upgrade is more likely to increase FPS first? In this case, the answer is the GPU.
The largest gap appears at 1440p High, where the GeForce RTX 5090 reaches about 94 FPS, while the Core i7-3820QM still has headroom up to roughly 109 FPS.
That means the GeForce RTX 5090 is hitting its performance ceiling first, leaving a 14% gap versus the Core i7-3820QM's available headroom in the most unbalanced scenario. Across all tested settings, this pairing is GPU-limited in 8 out of 12 cases, with 3 CPU-limited and 1 balanced results.
Overall, this is a GPU-limited combination in this game.
The GeForce RTX 5090 is usually the limiting part in this game, so upgrading the GPU is more likely to deliver a larger FPS gain than upgrading the CPU.
This chart shows which upgrade is more likely to unlock more FPS in each tested setting. The lower line represents the part that reaches its limit first. When the CPU and GPU lines stay close together, the system is more balanced. When the gap widens, one component is more clearly holding the other back. Hover any setting to inspect it.
The lower line is the current limiter. The closer the two lines are, the more balanced the CPU and GPU are for this game.
Each line represents an estimated FPS ceiling for one component, rather than live usage alone.
To estimate the CPU ceiling, we pair the Core i7-3820QM with GeForce RTX 5090, our current GPU anchor. To estimate the GPU ceiling, we pair the GeForce RTX 5090 with Ryzen 9 9950X3D, our current CPU anchor.
The lower line indicates the current limiter, since that component reaches its FPS ceiling first. In most scenarios, that is also the part most likely to deliver the bigger performance uplift if upgraded first.
The percentage shown represents the gap between the two ceilings. In practical terms, it shows how much of the stronger component's potential is left unused because the weaker one becomes the bottleneck first.
See how your processor and graphics card compare against the game official minimum and recommended system specs. The placement of your hardware is calculated using relative synthetic performance scores to help you gauge overall playability.
Your CPU is 58% below recommended and your GPU is 2113% below recommended, but both meet minimum specs. Playable at Low/Medium settings, 1080p or below.

Yes, the Core i7-3820QM paired with the GeForce RTX 5090 can run Among Us smoothly up to 4k achieving around 86 FPS at Ultra quality. Your GPU is 2113% above the recommended specs, and your CPU is 58% below the recommended requirements.
Price data is not currently available for this combination. In general, look for setups where the CPU and GPU are balanced - this ensures you're not overspending on one component that the other can't keep up with.
Your GeForce RTX 5090 is already a top-tier graphics card. In the Performance Limiter Analysis, it is still the side that most often reaches its FPS ceiling first, but there is no meaningful upgrade path that would drastically improve your Among Us performance right now. The main bottleneck appears on the GPU side. The largest gap shows up at 1440p High, where the GPU reaches about 94 FPS while the CPU still has headroom up to roughly 109 FPS. Across all tested settings, the distribution is 8/12 GPU-limited, 3/12 CPU-limited, and 1/12 balanced.
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 setup meets the minimum requirements but falls short of the recommended specs. You may need to lower some settings for smooth 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.
