5 best GPUs for Once Human
The open-world survival game, Once Human, was released recently, and if you're looking to test it out, you must first determine if it will run on your PC. The title from Starry Studio is a little demanding and heavy on the GPU due to the game's complex physics and rendering techniques. The recommended GPUs for Once Human are the Nvidia GTX 1060 6G or the AMD Radeon RX 580 2304SP graphics processor.
There are quite a few options that surpass the game's minimum recommendations, so it can get quite confusing to choose the right one for you. However, we have compiled a list of the best GPUs you can purchase to comfortably play Once Human.

The best GPUs for Once Human
1) Nvidia GeForce RTX 4060
Price: $299.99
The Nvidia GeForce RTX 4060 is an all-time favorite as it balances extreme performance and affordability. While most GPUs cost hundreds of dollars, the RTX 4060 offers sky-high framerates and beautiful ray tracing capabilities at less than $300. It has a base clock speed of 1830 MHz, allowing the PC to handle large workloads at consistent speeds.
At 450W PSU, it is nowhere close to higher-powered cards in terms of power consumption, which is a great sign. This means you don't have to worry about getting a super expensive cooling unit, making it a perfect choice for moderately demanding games.
Pros:
- Delivers solid performance at 1080p resolution with high frame rates
- Supports DLSS 3 for improved performance and quality
- Offers good ray tracing performance for the price range
Cons:
- Limited VRAM might cause stuttering at higher resolutions
- May not run max settings in very demanding titles
2) AMD Radeon RX 6700 XT
Price: $318.00
Next on our list is the AMD Radeon RX 6700 XT, featuring 12GB VRAM that allows you to easily run high-end games without facing frame drops or losing texture quality. The base clock speed is already high and usually doesn't require a boost as it goes up to 2424 MHz. With these specs, you can easily run the game at 1440p and still get great framerates.
However, the 6700 XT is a little more expensive than the RTX 4060, which is the better performer. Moreover, one thing I found to be a little off is the PSU, as it requires a minimum of 750W to run properly. Other than that, I think it is a solid GPU for games like Once Human.
Pros:
- Offers strong performance and performs well at high resolutions
- 12GB GDDR6 memory allows for better texture handling at higher resolutions
- More affordable than Nvidia options with similar performance
Cons:
- Can consume quite a lot of power
- Ray tracing performance lags behind Nvidia cards
3) AMD Radeon RX 6800
Price: $349.99
The AMD Radeon RX 6800 is slightly better than the RX 6700 XT we discussed earlier. Moreover, this GPU gets you more VRAM but slightly lower clock speeds. The 16GB VRAM lets it handle high-textures easily and the relatively high clock speed allows for smoother processing.
However, like the previous GPU, the RX 6800 is highly power-consuming, at an 850W PSU. Regardless, you should be good enough with a decent AIO cooling unit.
Pros:
- Powerful card for 1440p gaming with high frame rates
- 16GB of GDDR6 memory makes it great for demanding games and textures
- Good option for future-proofing your PC build
Cons:
- Most expensive option on this list
- Ray tracing performance is decent but not the best
4) Nvidia GeForce RTX 3050
Price: $169.99
Next on our list is the Nvidia GeForce RTX 3050, one of the more affordable options on the list. It offers great value for money, featuring 6GB VRAM and 1552 MHz base clock speeds. It should comfortably be able to run games like Once Human at 1440p.
One of the best things about the RTX 3050 is its low power consumption. At 300W PSU, it is very light on the power and generates less heat overall. This is a great option for those building a budget gaming PC and the right one to play the game.
Pros:
- Most budget-friendly option on the list
- Offers decent performance at 1080p resolution even on high settings
- Can run Once Human at 1440p
Cons:
- Relatively lower performance
- Limited to 1080p gaming in some demanding titles
- Only 6GB of GDDR6 memory might bottleneck performance in some games
5) AMD Radeon RX 7600
Price: $259.99
Last on our list is the AMD Radeon RX 7600, featuring eight gigs of VRAM and a base clock of 1875 MHz. It is not the most affordable, but it outperforms cards like the RX 6800 and 6700 XT despite being cheaper than them.
The RX 7600 has a decent power requirement of 550W and for the performance it provides, it is great value for money. If you want to go the AMD route and are not a fan of Nvidia GPUs, this would be a great option.
Pros:
- Great performance at affordable rates
- Competitive performance at 1080p and potentially 1440p
- Supports features like ray tracing and FSR for performance boosts
Cons:
- More expensive than cards with similar performance
- May bottleneck with lower-end CPUs
