1. What is the FPS Calculator?

The FPS (Frames Per Second) Calculator estimates game performance based on your CPU score, GPU score, and the game's requirements. It helps predict how smoothly a game will run on your system.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the FPS formula:

Where:

• \( CPU \) — Your processor's performance score
• \( GPU \) — Your graphics card's performance score
• \( Game\ Req \) — The game's performance requirement number

Explanation: The equation combines your hardware capabilities and divides by the game's requirements to estimate frames per second.

3. Importance of FPS Calculation

Details: FPS estimation helps gamers determine if their system meets game requirements before purchasing or installing. Higher FPS means smoother gameplay.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter your CPU and GPU benchmark scores (from tools like 3DMark or UserBenchmark) and the game's requirement number (often provided by developers). All values must be positive numbers.

5. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: Where can I find my CPU/GPU scores?
A: Use benchmarking tools like 3DMark, UserBenchmark, or PassMark to test your hardware.

Q2: What is a good FPS value?
A: 30 FPS is playable, 60 FPS is smooth, 120+ FPS is ideal for competitive gaming.

Q3: Why is my actual FPS different?
A: This is an estimate. Actual performance depends on settings, resolution, background processes, and system optimization.

Q4: Does RAM affect FPS?
A: While RAM is important, this calculator focuses on CPU and GPU which have the biggest impact.

Q5: Can I use this for all games?
A: This works best for GPU-intensive games. CPU-heavy games may need different calculations.
