How the checker works
Every graphics card gets a relative performance score and a VRAM size. Every game gets a demand score at 1080p High, a processor requirement, a VRAM need and a memory target. The tool then scales the demand for resolution, quality preset, ray tracing, path tracing and upscaling, divides your GPU's score by the result, and caps it with what your CPU can feed. It also checks VRAM and RAM separately, because running out of either hurts far more than a slightly slower GPU.
We have not built our own test rig yet, so the scores come from published specifications and typical independent review ranges, rounded into tiers. That is why you see a range beside the headline number. Use it to compare setups, pick settings and decide whether an upgrade is worth it. For final purchase decisions, check the game's official requirements and recent reviews for your exact card.
How to read your result
| Result | Rendered FPS | What it means |
|---|---|---|
| Excellent | 90 and up | Fluid on high-refresh monitors. |
| Smooth 60+ FPS | 60 to 89 | A great fit for 60 to 120 Hz screens. |
| Playable | 45 to 59 | Fine for single-player. Lower a setting or add upscaling for more headroom. |
| Borderline | 30 to 44 | Consider lowering settings or resolution. |
| Struggles | Under 30 | Expect a poor experience at these settings. |
Get more FPS without buying anything
- Switch on upscaling. The DLSS Quality, Balanced and Performance render resolutions show what each mode actually renders.
- Try Multi Frame Generation on RTX 50 cards, and read whether frame generation adds input lag before you rely on it.
- Watch your VRAM. Our guide on how much VRAM you need for gaming explains when 8GB, 12GB and 16GB make a difference.
- If the tool says you are CPU-limited, see how the processor can bottleneck a fast GPU.
- Deciding between cards? Put them side by side in the GPU comparison tool, or read the graphics card comparison guide.
Frequently asked questions
How accurate is the FPS estimate?
It is a modelled estimate, not a benchmark. We rate each GPU and game on a relative scale, then adjust for resolution, quality, ray tracing, upscaling and frame generation. Real results usually land within about 15 percent, but drivers, game patches, cooling and background apps can move them. Treat the number as a guide for buying and settings choices.
Does this replace a game's official system requirements?
No. Publishers' minimum and recommended specs are the safest check for whether a game will launch. Our checker goes further by estimating frame rates at the resolution and settings you actually want, but you should still read the official requirements on the game's store page before you buy.
What does CPU-limited mean?
It means your processor, not your graphics card, is capping the frame rate. Lowering graphics settings will not help much, because the CPU cannot prepare frames any faster. A faster CPU, quicker RAM, or turning on frame generation, which adds extra frames, are the usual ways to raise the ceiling.
Is frame generation the same as real FPS?
Frame generation inserts extra AI-made frames between rendered ones, so the counter rises and motion looks smoother. It does not make the game respond faster, because input is still tied to the rendered frames. For the best feel, start from at least 40 to 60 rendered FPS before switching it on.
Which RTX 50 card do I need for 60 FPS at my settings?
Pick your favourite game and settings in the checker. When your current setup falls under 60 FPS, it names the cheapest desktop RTX 50 Series card in the list that gets there. Heavy ray-traced games need a faster card than esports titles, so test both a demanding and a light game.
Is 8GB of VRAM still enough for gaming?
For esports and older games, yes. Newer titles at high textures, 1440p or ray tracing can exceed 8GB, causing stutter and lower frame rates even when the GPU is fast enough. The checker flags VRAM pressure separately so you can lower texture quality or choose a card with 12GB or more.
