This section is based on estimated CPU/GPU FPS ceilings, not utilization percentages.
At 4k high, the Xeon w9-3495X sets the ceiling at about 80 FPS, while the GeForce RTX 4090 could reach 126 FPS. In this scenario, the CPU limits the GPU potential by 37% (FPS gap: 46 FPS). Overall distribution: CPU limits 12/12 cells, GPU limits 0/12, balanced 0/12.
Your Xeon w9-3495X 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 21% | CPU Limits GPU 26% | CPU Limits GPU 24% | CPU Limits GPU 23% |
| 1440p (2K QHD) | CPU Limits GPU 16% | CPU Limits GPU 23% | CPU Limits GPU 26% | CPU Limits GPU 25% |
| 4K (Ultra HD) | CPU Limits GPU 27% | CPU Limits GPU 30% | CPU Limits GPU 37% | CPU Limits GPU 35% |
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 Xeon w9-3495X + GeForce RTX 4090 pairing runs this title with CPU utilization between 27% and 70% and GPU utilization between 60% and 88%. Xeon w9-3495X stays in a controlled operating range, while GeForce RTX 4090 is utilized efficiently without persistent saturation. As resolution scales, average GPU load rises from 72% at 1080p to 76% at 4K, while CPU averages move from 57% to 37%.
The utilization pattern is relatively even. The GeForce RTX 4090 reaches 84% average at its highest-load preset, while the Xeon w9-3495X peaks at 62% average. This suggests a fairly controlled load distribution, but the actual FPS-limiting side should still be read from the limiter analysis above.
At 1080p, averages sit around CPU 57% and GPU 72%. At 1440p, that shifts to CPU 46% and GPU 76%, and at 4K it reaches CPU 37% and GPU 76%. This shows that workload scaling is present on both components, with stronger pressure on the GPU.
1440p (2K QHD) High is the most balanced preset based on this dataset. It runs around CPU 41% (29-53%) and GPU 84% (79-88%), which keeps GeForce RTX 4090 well utilized without constant max-out behavior while Xeon w9-3495X remains stable for consistent frame delivery.
Current utilization does not show an urgent upgrade requirement for either component; the Xeon w9-3495X 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 Xeon w9-3495X paired with the GeForce RTX 4090 can run Once Human smoothly up to 4k achieving around 70 FPS at Ultra quality. Your GPU is 279% above the recommended specs, and your CPU is 638% above the recommended requirements.
This CPU + GPU combo costs approximately $7982 ($6333 CPU (Rank #411 Value) + $1649 GPU (Rank #77 Value)). Your Xeon w9-3495X 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 Ryzen Threadripper PRO 9985WX is a great upgrade option for around $7999 (Rank #378 for value).
Your Xeon w9-3495X 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 Xeon w9-3495X 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.
