How to embed an FPSHQ chart

  1. Every chart on FPSHQ has an "Embed" button above it.
  2. Pick a format: iframe (interactive, with toggles), SVG image (for articles and newsletters) or a text link.
  3. Pick a theme — auto, light or dark — and copy the code.
  4. In WordPress, Ghost and other CMSs with oEmbed support, just paste the chart link — it embeds itself.

An embedded chart is a snapshot as of the date shown under it; the credit "Source: FPSHQ" and the link are already in the code. The container sets no cookies, shows no ads and is excluded from indexing.

Frequently asked questions

Can I use FPSHQ data in an article or video?
Yes, for free and without asking: FPSHQ calculations are licensed under CC BY 4.0. The credit "Source: FPSHQ" with a link to the page with the data is required. Graphics card shares from the Steam survey are Valve data — credit them as "Valve, Steam Hardware & Software Survey".
How do I embed an FPSHQ chart on my website?
Click "Embed" above any chart on FPSHQ and pick a format: an iframe with toggles, an SVG image or a link. In WordPress and other oEmbed CMSs, pasting the chart link is enough. The credit is already in the code, and the container sets no cookies.
What is the difference between a "model estimate" and a "measurement"?
A "measurement" is a real test: a review or a verified player measurement. A "model estimate" is an FPSHQ prediction from graphics card performance and game load; the median error of model 23.6 is 13.0% on held-out games and 41.6% on the external check. Credit predictions as "FPSHQ estimate", not as a test.
Where do the Steam survey figures come from and when are they updated?
Graphics card, memory and resolution shares come from the official Steam Hardware & Software Survey, which Valve publishes at the start of each month. FPSHQ imports the new month automatically, matches names to its catalog and calculates the median graphics card; the Press page updates with it.
How do I request data for a story?
Fill in the data request form on this page or message @denissatoshi on Telegram: the story topic, which games, graphics cards or countries you need, and the deadline. We send the export as CSV with a methodology note.
Is there an FPSHQ logo and usage rules?
Yes, the Media kit section has the logo for dark and light backgrounds (SVG, PNG) and the mark. The name is written as one word in Latin letters — FPSHQ; do not change the logo's proportions or colors and do not use it as a sign of product recommendation.
How much does it cost to use the data and charts?
Nothing: data, charts, the widget and the badge are free, with no sign-up and no affiliate links. Embedded charts contain no ads.

Methodology and sources

Graphics card, RAM, VRAM and resolution shares come from the official Steam Hardware & Software Survey (Valve), imported by an FPSHQ task after each month is published. The median graphics card is the share-weighted median by Bench Score in the FPSHQ catalog among recognized models. "Independent measurements" are review tests and verified player measurements, excluding aggregate tables and outliers. Model accuracy comes from the FPSHQ backtest (held-out game and external check). An embedded chart is a snapshot of a chart from an FPSHQ page as of the date under it. More about the methodology →
