How we calculate

Processors come from the game’s official requirements, matched to the FPSHQ catalog by exact model name; Gaming Score is the catalog’s gaming score.

CPU FPS ceiling — the unified FPSHQ model formula: Gaming Score ÷ 30 × √(45 ÷ game demand). It is the maximum frame rate the CPU can prepare with any graphics card.

For 60/120/144/240 FPS targets we show the lowest-scoring popular processor (by search demand) whose ceiling is not below the target.

FAQ

What CPU do I need for Norland?
Norland needs at least Core i5-4570 (ceiling ≈77 FPS), Ryzen 7 3700X is recommended (≈132 FPS). For 60 FPS Xeon E5-2670 is enough, for 144 FPS — Core i7-10700.
What CPU do I need for 144 FPS in Norland?
By the FPSHQ model, 144 FPS in Norland needs a Core i7-10700-level CPU or better (CPU FPS ceiling not below the target); 60 FPS needs Xeon E5-2670.
Will my CPU bottleneck the GPU in Norland?
Compare the CPU FPS ceiling in the table with your GPU’s FPS: if the CPU tops out first, the GPU will not reach its potential. Details — in the bottleneck calculator.
Where does FPSHQ get its data?
From four sources: official developer and Steam system requirements (150,929 games), hardware manufacturers' specifications (1,965 GPUs, 456 CPUs), FPS measurements from reviews, YouTube and players (106 independent measurements and 4,800 rows of aggregated review data), and the FPSHQ model where no measurement exists — always labelled "estimate".
