This section is based on estimated CPU/GPU FPS ceilings, not utilization percentages.
At 4k ultra, the EPYC 7F72 sets the ceiling at about 36 FPS, while the GeForce RTX 4090 could reach 104 FPS. In this scenario, the CPU limits the GPU potential by 65% (FPS gap: 68 FPS). Overall distribution: CPU limits 12/12 cells, GPU limits 0/12, balanced 0/12.
Your EPYC 7F72 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 49% | CPU Limits GPU 51% | CPU Limits GPU 51% | CPU Limits GPU 61% |
| 1440p (2K QHD) | CPU Limits GPU 52% | CPU Limits GPU 57% | CPU Limits GPU 60% | CPU Limits GPU 64% |
| 4K (Ultra HD) | CPU Limits GPU 55% | CPU Limits GPU 58% | CPU Limits GPU 64% | CPU Limits GPU 65% |
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 EPYC 7F72 + GeForce RTX 4090 pairing runs this title with CPU utilization between 25% and 67% and GPU utilization between 65% and 95%. EPYC 7F72 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 77% at 1080p to 85% at 4K, while CPU averages move from 56% to 37%.
From a utilization perspective, this is a GPU-heavy load profile. At 1440p (2K QHD) High, the GeForce RTX 4090 averages 92% usage (90-93%), while the EPYC 7F72 stays at 42% (27-56%). 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 56% and GPU 77%. At 1440p, that shifts to CPU 46% and GPU 84%, and at 4K it reaches CPU 37% and GPU 85%. 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 50% (46-55%) and GPU 84% (79-88%), which keeps GeForce RTX 4090 well utilized without constant max-out behavior while EPYC 7F72 remains stable for consistent frame delivery.
Current utilization does not show an urgent upgrade requirement for either component; the EPYC 7F72 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 EPYC 7F72 paired with the GeForce RTX 4090 can run Once Human smoothly up to 1080p achieving around 66 FPS at Ultra quality. Your GPU is 279% above the recommended specs, and your CPU is 331% above the recommended requirements.
This CPU + GPU combo costs approximately $3780 ($2131 CPU (Rank #337 Value) + $1649 GPU (Rank #77 Value)). Your EPYC 7F72 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 EPYC 4585PX is a great upgrade option for around $699 (Rank #66 for value) while costing less than your current CPU.
Your EPYC 7F72 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: 1080p low, 1080p medium, 1080p high, 1080p ultra, 1440p low, 1440p medium, 1440p high, 1440p ultra, 4k low, 4k medium, 4k high, 4k ultra.
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 EPYC 7F72 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.
