This chart answers a simple question: which upgrade is more likely to increase FPS first? In this case, the answer is more often the GPU.
The largest gap appears at 4K Ultra, where the GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER reaches about 88 FPS, while the Ryzen 7 9800X3D still has headroom up to roughly 106 FPS.
That means the GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER is hitting its performance ceiling first, leaving a 17% gap versus the Ryzen 7 9800X3D's available headroom in the most unbalanced scenario. Across all tested settings, this pairing is GPU-limited in 7 out of 12 cases, with 0 CPU-limited and 5 balanced results.
Overall, this is a GPU-leaning combination in this game.
The GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER is more often the limiting part in this game, so a GPU upgrade is somewhat more likely to deliver the bigger FPS gain than a CPU upgrade.
This chart shows which upgrade is more likely to unlock more FPS in each tested setting. The lower line represents the part that reaches its limit first. When the CPU and GPU lines stay close together, the system is more balanced. When the gap widens, one component is more clearly holding the other back. Hover any setting to inspect it.
The lower line is the current limiter. The closer the two lines are, the more balanced the CPU and GPU are for this game.
Each line represents an estimated FPS ceiling for one component, rather than live usage alone.
To estimate the CPU ceiling, we pair the Ryzen 7 9800X3D with GeForce RTX 5090, our current GPU anchor. To estimate the GPU ceiling, we pair the GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER with Ryzen 9 9950X3D, our current CPU anchor.
The lower line indicates the current limiter, since that component reaches its FPS ceiling first. In most scenarios, that is also the part most likely to deliver the bigger performance uplift if upgraded first.
The percentage shown represents the gap between the two ceilings. In practical terms, it shows how much of the stronger component's potential is left unused because the weaker one becomes the bottleneck first.
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 CPU is 226% above and your GPU is 198% above the recommended specs. Ultra settings at 1080p, or High at 1440p/4K.

Yes, the Ryzen 7 9800X3D paired with the GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER can run Once Human smoothly up to 4k achieving around 89 FPS at Ultra quality. Your GPU is 198% above the recommended specs, and your CPU is 226% above the recommended requirements.
This CPU + GPU combo costs approximately $1,065.38 ($465.38 CPU + $600 GPU). Since the GPU is the main limiting factor, investing in a stronger GPU will improve your framerates and overall value. For example, upgrading to the GeForce RTX 5090 D for around $1,999 (Rank #374 for value) could deliver noticeably better performance.
For Once Human, upgrading the GPU would usually give you the most noticeable improvement. In the Performance Limiter Analysis, the GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER is the side that most often caps the frame rate, while the Ryzen 7 9800X3D still has additional headroom in the tested presets. If you want to unlock more of the pairing's current ceiling, a stronger graphics card like GeForce RTX 5090 D for around $1,999 would be the clearest next step. The main bottleneck appears on the GPU side. The largest gap shows up at 4K Ultra, where the GPU reaches about 88 FPS while the CPU still has headroom up to roughly 106 FPS. Across all tested settings, the distribution is 7/12 GPU-limited, 0/12 CPU-limited, and 5/12 balanced.
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 Ryzen 7 9800X3D and GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER 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.
