Multi-GPU FPS estimate

Estimated average FPS by GPU at 1080p / 1440p / 4K, derived from Among Us's demand tier (tier 6, Demanding (high-end GPU)) and published TechPowerUp-style relative-performance indices (RTX 4090 = 100), retrieved 2026-08-29. Planning estimates, not benchmarks.

Method: a game's demand tier maps to a “GPU index needed for ~60 FPS at 1080p”; each GPU's relative index produces an estimate via a diminishing-returns curve, then scaled for resolution. Source: TechPowerUp GPU database (relative performance), 2026-08-29.

Optimize Among Us for your PC

This is a planning estimate derived from the game's demand tier, not a benchmark.

My Among Us Settings Card

Preset: Low · Est. 81–113 FPS @ 1080p
Preset recommendationLow
Expected FPS band81–113 FPS
Target refresh60 Hz
UpscalerFSR 3 Quality (or DLSS if supported) — Quality mode
Ray tracingTry RT Low/Medium; drop if FPS dips below your target
Frame capYour estimated range (81–113 FPS) clears your 60 Hz target — lock it with a frame cap to reduce GPU load.
Your CPU tier sits below what Among Us typically wants — expect frame dips in busy scenes even with a strong GPU.

Generated at GameFigs on 2026-09-25. Game demand tier: 6/9.

General tuning rules: drop Shadows, Reflection Quality andVolumetric Fog first (biggest GPU savings, low visual cost); use Render Scale / Resolution Scaling before lowering geometry; enable DLSS/FSR 3 on supported titles; cap FPS to your monitor's refresh rate to smooth frame pacing.

About Among Us

Join your crewmates in a multiplayer game of teamwork and betrayal! Play online or over local wifi with 4-10 players as you attempt to hold your spaceship together and return back to civilization. But beware...as there may be an alien impostor aboard! One crewmate has been replaced by a parasitic shapeshifter. Their goal is to eliminate the rest of the crew before the ship reaches home. The Impostor will sabotage the ship, sneak through vents, deceive, and frame others to remain anonymous and kill off the crew. While everyone is fixing up the ship, no one can talk to maintain anonymity. Once a body is reported, the surviving crew will openly debate who they think The Impostor is. The Impostor's goal is to pretend that they are a member of the crew. If The Impostor is not voted off, everyone goes back to maintaining the ship until another body is found. If The Impostor is voted off, the crew wins!

How the Among Us optimization card & FPS estimate are computed

Each game is scored on a 0–9 demand tier from its published PC requirements (and a year/genre fallback when requirements are absent). The FPS estimate compares your selected GPU's relative-performance index against the tier's required index using a diminishing-returns curve, then scales for resolution. The settings card maps the demand tier and your hardware to a starting preset, an FPS band and an upscaler recommendation. All outputs are planning guides — verify in-game with the built-in benchmark when available.
