This section is based on estimated CPU/GPU FPS ceilings, not utilization percentages.
At 1080p medium, the Core i9-10900KF sets the ceiling at about 163 FPS, while the GeForce RTX 4090 could reach 228 FPS. In this scenario, the CPU limits the GPU potential by 29% (FPS gap: 65 FPS). Overall distribution: CPU limits 11/12 cells, GPU limits 0/12, balanced 1/12.
Your Core i9-10900KF 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 23% | CPU Limits GPU 29% | CPU Limits GPU 26% | CPU Limits GPU 17% |
| 1440p (2K QHD) | CPU Limits GPU 22% | CPU Limits GPU 26% | CPU Limits GPU 23% | CPU Limits GPU 16% |
| 4K (Ultra HD) | CPU Limits GPU 16% | CPU Limits GPU 10% | CPU Limits GPU 7% | 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 i9-10900KF + GeForce RTX 4090 pairing runs this title with CPU utilization between 35% and 71% and GPU utilization between 60% and 93%. Core i9-10900KF stays in a controlled operating range, while GeForce RTX 4090 is utilized efficiently without persistent saturation. As resolution scales, average GPU load rises from 74% at 1080p to 79% at 4K, while CPU averages move from 62% to 58%.
The utilization pattern is relatively even. The GeForce RTX 4090 reaches 85% average at its highest-load preset, while the Core i9-10900KF peaks at 67% average. This suggests a fairly controlled load distribution, but the actual FPS-limiting side should still be read from the limiter analysis above.
At 1080p, averages sit around CPU 62% and GPU 74%. At 1440p, that shifts to CPU 57% and GPU 77%, and at 4K it reaches CPU 58% and GPU 79%. This shows that workload scaling is limited, which can indicate engine-side constraints.
4K (Ultra HD) High is the most balanced preset based on this dataset. It runs around CPU 53% (35-71%) and GPU 85% (77-93%), which keeps GeForce RTX 4090 well utilized without constant max-out behavior while Core i9-10900KF remains stable for consistent frame delivery.
Current utilization does not show an urgent upgrade requirement for either component; the Core i9-10900KF 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.

Yes, the Core i9-10900KF paired with the GeForce RTX 4090 can run Once Human smoothly up to 4k achieving around 95 FPS at Ultra quality. Your GPU is 279% above the recommended specs, and your CPU is 81% above the recommended requirements.
This CPU + GPU combo costs approximately $1985 ($336 CPU (Rank #290 Value) + $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 9950X is a great upgrade option for around $649 (Rank #5 for value).
For Once Human, upgrading the CPU would have the biggest impact on performance. The Core i9-10900KF 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.
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 i9-10900KF 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.
