FPS Calculation Formula:
From: | To: |
The FPS (Frames Per Second) Calculator estimates game performance on mobile devices based on hardware specifications. It helps predict how well a game might run on a particular phone configuration.
The calculator uses the FPS equation:
Where:
Explanation: The equation accounts for the relationship between hardware capabilities and game demands to estimate smoothness of gameplay.
Details: FPS estimation helps determine if a game will run smoothly on a device before purchasing or downloading. Higher FPS generally means smoother gameplay.
Tips: Enter CPU clock speed in GHz, GPU factor (typically 1-10 for mobile GPUs), and game load (1 for light games, up to 10 for very demanding games). All values must be positive numbers.
Q1: What is considered good FPS for mobile games?
A: 30 FPS is playable, 60 FPS is smooth, and 90+ FPS is excellent for high refresh rate displays.
Q2: Where can I find my phone's GPU factor?
A: Check benchmark sites or manufacturer specifications for your specific GPU model.
Q3: How do I determine game load?
A: Game load is relative - simple 2D games might be 1-3, while demanding 3D games could be 5-10.
Q4: Does this account for thermal throttling?
A: No, this calculates theoretical maximum FPS. Real-world performance may be lower due to thermal limits.
Q5: Can I use this for PC games?
A: The same principle applies, but PC components would need different scaling factors.
