1. What is FPS Calculation?

FPS (Frames Per Second) calculation helps determine how well your PC build will perform with a specific game. It compares your hardware capabilities against the game's requirements to estimate performance.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the FPS formula:

Where:

• \( Build\ Components\ Sum \) — Combined performance score of your PC components
• \( Game\ Req \) — Performance requirement of the game

Explanation: The equation divides your PC's total performance capability by the game's requirements to estimate frames per second.

3. Importance of FPS Calculation

Details: Knowing your estimated FPS helps determine if your PC build can run a game smoothly, or if you need to upgrade components for better performance.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter your total PC build performance score and the game's requirements. Both values must be positive numbers for accurate calculation.

5. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: How do I get my Build Components Sum?
A: This is typically calculated by benchmarking tools that assess your CPU, GPU, RAM, and other components' performance.

Q2: Where do I find Game Req values?
A: Game requirements are often listed in the game's specifications or can be found through benchmarking databases.

Q3: What is considered good FPS?
A: 60 FPS is generally considered smooth, while competitive gamers often aim for 144+ FPS. Below 30 FPS may feel choppy.

Q4: Does this account for all performance factors?
A: This is a simplified calculation. Actual performance may vary based on optimization, background processes, and specific game settings.

Q5: Should I upgrade if my FPS is low?
A: If your calculated FPS is below your desired threshold, consider upgrading components (typically GPU first) or lowering game settings.
