FPS Calculator

A rough estimate of the FPS range your rig can hit, based on relative CPU/GPU performance tiers and your target resolution. Real results vary by game and settings — treat this as a starting point, not a guarantee.

How this works

  1. Each GPU tier starts from a baseline frame rate: 60 FPS for entry-level, 100 for mid-range, 150 for high-end and 200 for enthusiast cards.
  2. That baseline is multiplied by a resolution factor (1080p ×1, 1440p ×0.65, 4K ×0.35) and a game-demand factor (light ×1.4, medium ×1, heavy ×0.6).
  3. The CPU tier multiplies it too: entry-level ×0.7, mid-range ×0.85, high-end ×1, and enthusiast ×1.05, its cap. A slower CPU pulls the estimate down, but a faster one can't lift it much above what the GPU allows.
  4. The range shown runs from 15% below to 15% above that figure, and never goes under 15 FPS.

It doesn't know the specific game, graphics settings, upscaling, frame generation or driver version, so a real benchmark of your game can differ a lot.
