About running Among Us
Among Us (2018, Party) asks very little of a modern PC, which is a large part of why it stayed popular. Minimum spec is 1.0 GHz processor and DirectX 10 graphics. Recommended is 2.0 GHz dual core and Integrated graphics. Memory goes from 1 GB at minimum to 2 GB recommended, and you'll want roughly 1 GB free on disk. On a machine that clears the recommended tier, the thing most likely to cost you frames is whatever else is running at the same time.
How to improve Among Us performance
- Close what you're not using. Browsers, chat apps and launchers sit on RAM and CPU while Among Us runs. On a machine near the minimum this is usually the single biggest win available.
- Check your actual refresh rate and resolution. Running below your monitor's native resolution costs less than most people expect; running above your refresh rate buys nothing at all.
- Update the graphics driver. New releases routinely ship driver-side fixes. For a 2018 title on an older card this can be the difference between stutter and smooth.
- Put the game on an SSD. Among Us wants about 1 GB. On a mechanical drive the frame rate may be fine while texture pop-in and load times are not.
- Free the memory before you launch. Windows accumulates background services that never give memory back. FixKon clears them out in one pass, which matters most when you're on 1–2 GB.
Among Us requirements FAQ
- What are the minimum requirements for Among Us?
- Among Us lists 1.0 GHz processor or equivalent, DirectX 10 graphics, 1 GB of RAM and about 1 GB of storage on Windows 10 64-bit.
- Can I run Among Us on a DirectX 10 graphics?
- DirectX 10 graphics is the published minimum graphics card, so it should start and run — at low settings, at 1080p, and with frame dips in heavy scenes. The recommended card is Integrated graphics.
- How much RAM does Among Us need?
- 1 GB is the minimum and 2 GB is recommended. Below the minimum the game will stutter or fail to launch regardless of how fast your CPU and graphics card are.
- Will Among Us run better if I close background apps?
- Usually yes, and most on a PC near the minimum spec. Background processes compete for the same CPU time and memory the game needs. This is what FixKon automates.
