How we calculate

The graphics card and processor come from the game’s official requirements (Steam or the publisher) and are matched to the FPSHQ catalog only by exact model name; power is the rated TDP from the catalog.

One formula for the whole site: load = GPU TDP + CPU TDP + 90 W (board, memory, drives, fans); peak = 1.4 × GPU TDP + CPU TDP + 90 W; recommended PSU — the nearest standard rating not below max(load × 1.3; peak).

If the CPU in the requirements is not recognized, a mid-range 105 W class is used — this is marked on the page.

FAQ

What PSU do I need for Fork Road?
Fork Road needs a 450 W or larger power supply (80+ Bronze) by the minimum requirements (GeForce GTX 960 + mid-range processor), 400 W at the very least; system load is about 315 W with spikes up to 363 W.
Is 500 W enough for Fork Road?
The recommended PSU for Fork Road is 450 W, the minimum acceptable is 400 W (calculated from the minimum requirements). If your graphics card is different, use the calculator on this page.
Why a PSU with headroom?
Graphics cards briefly draw more than their rated TDP: the formula accounts for spikes (1.4 × GPU TDP) and a 30% margin over the average load, so the PSU runs quieter and does not trip its protection.
Where does FPSHQ get its data?
From four sources: official developer and Steam system requirements (152,132 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".
