About FPSHQ
FPSHQ is a free FPS estimation service for gamers who are choosing, building or upgrading a PC: it shows how many frames a specific graphics card and CPU will deliver in a specific game at 1080p, 1440p and 4K. Estimates follow a public methodology based on hardware specs, published benchmarks and user-submitted measurements. No registration.
Our mission
To make choosing gaming hardware simple, accurate and clear. Before FPSHQ gamers used either abstract "PC Power Scores" with 30-50% error, or YouTube reviews they had to combine by hand. We do that work for you.
What we do
- We maintain a database of 1 700+ graphics cards and 450+ CPUs — with specs and performance scores.
- We estimate FPS in 191 000+ games at 1080p, 1440p and 4K, using real measurements where they exist.
- We show indicative prices and, where available, offers from retailers in your region.
- We publish tier lists and ratings based on objective metrics, not manufacturer marketing.
- We build tools: FPS calculator, Bottleneck analyzer, Build configurator.
Our principles
- Independence. We do not receive hardware from manufacturers in exchange for positive reviews. All tests are on our own equipment or from open sources.
- Transparency. All methods, formulas and data sources are published openly in the Methodology section.
- Freshness. Pages show the real date the data was last updated, not the date the page was viewed.
- Objectivity. If an error is found in our data — we publicly acknowledge and fix it within 24 hours.
- Free. All tools are free, no paywall, no mandatory registration.
Data sources
FPSHQ aggregates data from independent sources: TechPowerUp, GamersNexus, Hardware Unboxed, Digital Foundry, Steam Hardware Survey, crowdsourcing from FPSHQ users.
Contacts
The only communication channel: Telegram @denissatoshi. Here we take any questions, suggestions, bug reports, ideas for new sections, ad requests. We respond within 24 hours on weekdays.

Unique FPSHQ metrics from this page's data
FPSHQ data volume by section
Records in the database by section: games, FPS measurements, GPUs, mobile chips and games, CPUs, emulators.
What is FPSHQ and what data does it run on?
FPSHQ is a games and PC database: 191,286 games with system requirements, 1,965 GPUs and 456 CPUs with performance scores, 165 mobile chips, 49 emulators and an FPS database (measurements: 106 independent measurements and 4,800 rows of aggregated review data; model estimates: 47,950). The single FPSHQ model estimates FPS for any game + GPU + CPU combination at 1080p/1440p/4K; 1,401 users have completed the online PC test. Every number on the pages comes from this database, with an update date and a link to the methodology.

Methodology and sources
This page uses the FPSHQ database: the GPU and CPU catalogue with synthetic benchmark scores, official game system requirements, FPS measurements from users of the FPSHQ app and the FPSHQ performance model. Calculated values are estimates, not a measurement of your exact configuration: the real result depends on drivers, settings and the rest of the hardware. More about the methodology →
