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, frame rates range from 17 to 36 FPS depending on quality settings. At 1440p, frame rates range from 13 to 26 FPS. At 4K, frame rates range from 6 to 10 FPS.
The GeForce RTX 4090 is 279% above the recommended GPU (GeForce GTX 1060) for Once Human. The Phenom X4 9600 is 75% below minimum CPU requirement.
At lower resolutions (1080p (low/medium/high)), the Phenom X4 9600 sets the FPS ceiling. As graphical load increases at (1440p ultra, all 4k settings), the GeForce RTX 4090 becomes the FPS-limiting side. The FPS ceiling is closely matched at 1080p ultra, 1440p (low/medium/high).
This section is based on estimated CPU/GPU FPS ceilings, not utilization percentages.
At 4k ultra, the GeForce RTX 4090 sets the ceiling at about 10 FPS, while the Phenom X4 9600 has headroom up to 39 FPS. In this scenario, the GPU limits the CPU potential by 74% (FPS gap: 29 FPS). Overall distribution: GPU limits 5/12 cells, CPU limits 3/12, balanced 4/12.
Your GeForce RTX 4090 is the limiting side in the heaviest mismatch. This means part of the Phenom X4 9600 frame-generation potential remains unused in those settings.
| Resolution | Low | Medium | High | Ultra |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1080p (Full HD) | CPU Limits GPU 39% | CPU Limits GPU 30% | CPU Limits GPU 29% | Balanced |
| 1440p (2K QHD) | Balanced | Balanced | Balanced | GPU Limits CPU 30% |
| 4K (Ultra HD) | GPU Limits CPU 57% | GPU Limits CPU 60% | GPU Limits CPU 68% | GPU Limits CPU 74% |
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.
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 hardware is below minimum requirements. CPU is the limiting factor (75% below minimum). Expect performance issues. Low settings recommended.

The Phenom X4 9600 and GeForce RTX 4090 will struggle to run Once Human at smooth framerates. At 1080p Ultra, you can expect around 17 FPS which is classified as "struggling". Consider lowering settings or upgrading your hardware.
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 4090 is already a top-tier graphics card. While it's technically the limiting factor here (which means you are fully utilizing your GPU's visual horsepower exactly as intended), there is no meaningful upgrade path that would drastically improve your Once Human performance right now. GPU fully utilized at: 1440p ultra, 4k low, 4k medium, 4k high, 4k ultra. CPU-limited at: 1080p low, 1080p medium, 1080p 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 hardware falls below the minimum requirements for this game, which may result in poor performance.
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.
