A continuous open world with player-built structures creates a heavy streaming load. It scales well but recommends 6GB+ VRAM for higher settings.
Actual FPS may vary based on RAM speed, background processes, and other system factors
Performance Report
At 1080p, all quality settings exceed 156 FPS, suitable for 144Hz+ monitors. At 1440p, all settings exceed 143 FPS. At 4K, all settings exceed 101 FPS.
The GeForce RTX 4090 is 279% above the recommended GPU (GeForce GTX 1060) for Once Human. The Core i9-14900KF is 376% above the recommended CPU (Core i7-7700).
Once Human supports: AFMF. This game does not have native DLSS 3 or FSR 3 Frame Generation support. AFMF is AMD-exclusive and not compatible with GeForce RTX 4090.
The Core i9-14900KF sets the FPS ceiling at 1440p high, 4k high, while the GeForce RTX 4090 still has headroom. The FPS ceiling is closely matched at all 1080p settings, 1440p (low/medium/ultra), 4k (low/medium/ultra).
Approximated average price on current market:
Combo price: $2129. At 1080p Ultra, this combo delivers 156 FPS, equivalent to 0.07 FPS per dollar.

This section is based on estimated CPU/GPU FPS ceilings, not utilization percentages.
At 4k high, the Core i9-14900KF sets the ceiling at about 116 FPS, while the GeForce RTX 4090 could reach 126 FPS. In this scenario, the CPU limits the GPU potential by 8% (FPS gap: 10 FPS). Overall distribution: CPU limits 2/12 cells, GPU limits 0/12, balanced 10/12. Confidence is low because both ceilings are very close in this cell.
The Core i9-14900KF 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 | Balanced | CPU Limits GPU 7% | Balanced |
| 4K (Ultra HD) | Balanced | Balanced | CPU Limits GPU 8% | 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.

Yes, the Core i9-14900KF paired with the GeForce RTX 4090 can run Once Human smoothly up to 4k achieving around 101 FPS at Ultra quality. Your GPU is 279% above the recommended specs, and your CPU is 376% above the recommended requirements.
This CPU + GPU combo costs approximately $2129 ($480 CPU (Rank #127 Value) + $1649 GPU (Rank #77 Value)). Your Core i9-14900KF 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 Threadripper 7970X is a great upgrade option for around $2499 (Rank #354 for value).
Your Core i9-14900KF 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 high, 4k high.
Once Human currently only supports AFMF (AMD Fluid Motion Frames) for frame generation, which is an AMD-exclusive technology. Because you are using an NVIDIA GPU, you cannot use Frame Generation for this specific game. However, the game does support DLSS Upscaling and FSR Upscaling and XeSS, which you should enable to render at a lower resolution and use AI to significantly boost your FPS without losing visual quality.
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 i9-14900KF 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.
