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 169 FPS, suitable for 144Hz+ monitors. At 1440p, all settings exceed 156 FPS. At 4K, all settings exceed 106 FPS.
The GeForce RTX 5090 is 286% above the recommended GPU (GeForce GTX 1060) for Once Human. The Core i9-14901E is 147% above the recommended CPU (Core i7-7700).
The Core i9-14901E sets the FPS ceiling at 4k low, while the GeForce RTX 5090 still has headroom. The FPS ceiling is closely matched at all 1080p settings, all 1440p settings, 4k (medium/high/ultra).
Approximated average price on current market:
Combo price: $3389. At 1080p Ultra, this combo delivers 169 FPS, equivalent to 0.05 FPS per dollar.

This section is based on estimated CPU/GPU FPS ceilings, not utilization percentages. Adjacent heavier settings are lightly stabilized to remove prediction jitter that would otherwise create impossible reversals.
This CPU/GPU pair is mostly balanced in Once Human. Across tested presets: GPU limits in 0/12, CPU limits in 0/12, and balanced in 12/12. Peak observed performance in the sampled cells is around 277 FPS.
The Core i9-14901E and GeForce RTX 5090 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 | 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 and then monotonic-smoothed across heavier presets and resolutions, not generic utilization heuristics.

Yes, the Core i9-14901E paired with the GeForce RTX 5090 can run Once Human smoothly up to 4k achieving around 106 FPS at Ultra quality. Your GPU is 286% above the recommended specs, and your CPU is 147% above the recommended requirements.
This CPU + GPU combo costs approximately $3389 ($689 CPU + $2700 GPU). Your Core i9-14901E is currently the main performance bottleneck and its market value ($689) is actually higher than newer, faster alternatives. Trading it or upgrading could yield immediate profit and performance gains. For example, the Ryzen 9 9950X is a great upgrade option for around $649 (Rank #4 for value) while costing less than your current CPU.
For Once Human, upgrading the CPU would have the biggest impact on performance. The Core i9-14901E is currently the limiting factor — the GeForce RTX 5090 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: 4k low.
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 i9-14901E and GeForce RTX 5090 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.
