FPSHQ Score
One number instead of a dozen benchmarks. Compare GPUs, CPUs and whole builds of different generations directly — honestly, transparently, with prices factored in.
GPU/CPU performance in real games + synthetics. Normalized to the generation flagship (RTX 5090 = 10,000).
How many FPS you get for every $100 of the official launch price (1440p High, FPSHQ model), scored 0–100 against the best model. Reference prices without a source are not used.
The final score of the whole build and a tier from F to S. Calculated in PC Power Test in 30 seconds.
How a build's PC Score is calculated
A weighted sum of five factors, normalized to 100 points:
PC Score = (GPU×0.45 + CPU×0.30 + RAM×0.10 + Storage×0.05 + Balance×0.10), where each component is normalized to 100.
Build tiers: from F to S

Best Value Score: more FPS per launch-price dollar
FPS per $100 of the official US launch price (NVIDIA, AMD, Intel press releases, dated). This is not the current store price. Official launch prices and FPS per dollar

⚡ Take the PC Power Test →Why a unified performance rating is needed
Comparing GPUs and CPUs of different generations by eye is nearly impossible: is the GeForce RTX 4070 faster than the RTX 3080 or not? Will a Ryzen 5 7600 beat a Core i5 12600K in games? Only benchmarks give direct answers, but there are dozens and each game tells its own story. FPSHQ Score solves this by reducing everything to one number you can instantly rank any hardware by.
The key difference of our approach is factoring in real store prices via the Value Score. A top GPU almost always leads in raw performance, but the markup for the last 10% of power can be twofold. Value Score honestly shows where the purchase "sweet spot" is — usually mid-range models of the current generation.
How we collect data
At the core of the Bench Score is a mix of real in-game FPS measurements in popular titles and synthetic tests. All measurements are at stock clocks for a fair comparison. Prices for the Value Score are approximate, from the largest stores. The full description of formulas and weights is in the methodology section.
What is the FPSHQ Score?
FPSHQ Score is a single hardware performance rating on a 0–10,000 scale for GPUs and CPUs, and 0–100 for complete PC builds. It condenses dozens of benchmarks and real FPS measurements into one clear number so you can compare components of different generations and brands directly.

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 →
