This section is based on estimated CPU/GPU FPS ceilings, not utilization percentages.
At 1080p low, the Ryzen 7 7800X3D sets the ceiling at about 64 FPS, while the Radeon R9 290X / 390X could reach 325 FPS. In this scenario, the CPU limits the GPU potential by 80% (FPS gap: 261 FPS). Overall distribution: CPU limits 12/12 cells, GPU limits 0/12, balanced 0/12.
Your Ryzen 7 7800X3D is the limiting side in the heaviest mismatch. This means part of the Radeon R9 290X / 390X rendering potential remains unused in those settings.
| Resolution | Low | Medium | High | Ultra |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1080p (Full HD) | CPU Limits GPU 80% | CPU Limits GPU 79% | CPU Limits GPU 75% | CPU Limits GPU 72% |
| 1440p (2K QHD) | CPU Limits GPU 64% | CPU Limits GPU 65% | CPU Limits GPU 66% | CPU Limits GPU 57% |
| 4K (Ultra HD) | CPU Limits GPU 63% | CPU Limits GPU 58% | CPU Limits GPU 51% | CPU Limits GPU 36% |
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 Ryzen 7 7800X3D paired with the Radeon R9 290X / 390X can run Among Us smoothly up to 4k achieving around 94 FPS at Ultra quality. Your GPU is 377% above the recommended specs, and your CPU is 160% above the recommended requirements.
This CPU + GPU combo costs approximately $444 ($384 CPU (Rank #212 Value) + $60 GPU). 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 Among Us, upgrading the CPU would have the biggest impact on performance. The Ryzen 7 7800X3D is currently the limiting factor — the Radeon R9 290X / 390X 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 high, 1080p low, 1080p medium, 1080p ultra, 1440p high, 1440p low, 1440p medium, 1440p ultra, 4k high, 4k low, 4k medium, 4k ultra.
Yes! Among Us supports AFMF, and your Radeon R9 290X / 390X is compatible with AFMF. With Frame Generation enabled, you can expect a 1.5x-2x FPS multiplier on top of native framerates, significantly boosting perceived smoothness.
Among Us requires at minimum a Core i3-4330 (CPU) and GeForce GT 610 (GPU) with 1 GB RAM and 250 MB storage. For the recommended experience, you need a Core i3-4330 and GeForce GTX 650 with 4 GB RAM. Your Ryzen 7 7800X3D and Radeon R9 290X / 390X both exceed the recommended specs, so you're well-positioned for a great experience.
These Among Us 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.
