At 1080p low, the Xeon W-11855M sets the ceiling at about 92 FPS, while the GeForce RTX 4090 could reach 306 FPS. In this scenario, the CPU limits the GPU potential by 70% (FPS gap: 214 FPS). Overall distribution: CPU limits 12/12 cells, GPU limits 0/12, balanced 0/12.
Your Xeon W-11855M 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 70% | CPU Limits GPU 70% | CPU Limits GPU 70% | CPU Limits GPU 69% |
| 1440p (2K QHD) | CPU Limits GPU 60% | CPU Limits GPU 60% | CPU Limits GPU 62% | CPU Limits GPU 61% |
| 4K (Ultra HD) | CPU Limits GPU 57% | CPU Limits GPU 58% | CPU Limits GPU 60% | CPU Limits GPU 58% |
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.
The displayed percentages are derived from FPS ceilings, not generic utilization heuristics.

Yes, the Xeon W-11855M paired with the GeForce RTX 4090 can run Among Us smoothly up to 4k achieving around 63 FPS at Ultra quality. Your GPU is 2070% above the recommended specs, and your CPU is 32% above the recommended requirements.
This CPU + GPU combo costs approximately $1849 ($200 CPU (Rank #2 Value) + $1649 GPU (Rank #77 Value)). Your build is already very cost-efficient, but if you want even more FPS, the next good option is upgrading the CPU. For example, the Xeon Platinum 8454H is a great upgrade option for around $6540 (Rank #1 for value).
For Among Us, upgrading the CPU would have the biggest impact on performance. The Xeon W-11855M is currently the limiting factor — the GeForce RTX 4090 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 low, 1080p medium, 1080p high, 1080p ultra, 1440p low, 1440p medium, 1440p high, 1440p ultra, 4k low, 4k medium, 4k high, 4k ultra.
Among Us 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.
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 Xeon W-11855M and GeForce RTX 4090 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.
