Estimate how many FPS your PC will run in the most popular games based on your graphics card, processor, resolution and graphics quality. Pick your hardware and we give you a per-game guide to know if it'll run smoothly before buying or tweaking settings.
Rough estimate from a relative-performance model (GPU/CPU index + game weight). Real FPS vary with drivers, scene, RAM and your exact settings — treat it as guidance, not an exact number.
We don't benchmark your machine: we use a relative-performance model. Each GPU gets an index against a reference card, each CPU a ceiling of FPS it can feed, and each game a “weight” based on how demanding it is at 1080p on high settings. With that, plus resolution and preset multipliers, we compute a ballpark number. It's approximate on purpose: real FPS depend on drivers, RAM, the exact scene and your settings.
For competitive shooters (Valorant, CS2, Apex) more is better: a stable 144+ FPS makes the most of a 144 Hz monitor and sharpens duels. For campaign or single-player games, a stable 60 FPS already feels smooth and many prioritize graphics quality instead. Below 30 FPS feels choppy. Rule of thumb: match (or beat) your FPS to your monitor's refresh rate.
Before spending: lower shadow and effects quality (the biggest hogs), turn on upscaling (DLSS/FSR/XeSS) if your GPU supports it, close background apps, update drivers and enable low-latency mode. Our guides have the step-by-step to optimize Windows, the NVIDIA/AMD panel and per-game settings.
Are these FPS accurate?
No, they're a ballpark estimate. They're based on a relative-performance model, not a benchmark of your exact machine. Use them to get an idea (will it run smoothly?), not as an FPS-exact promise.
Why do CPU and resolution matter?
At low resolutions (1080p) and in esports titles the CPU often rules: it caps FPS even if the GPU could do more. At 1440p and 4K the GPU rules. That's why the calculator combines both and adjusts by resolution.
Does it include DLSS or FSR?
The estimate is at native resolution, no upscaling. Turning on DLSS/FSR/XeSS can raise FPS a lot (especially at 1440p and 4K), so in practice you might see more than shown here.
