Tools

Every tool, one engine

All of these run on the same published performance model. Build the model once, answer many different questions with it.

Bottleneck calculator

Find out whether your processor or graphics card is holding the other back, and by how much.

FPS estimatorSoon

Expected frame rate for a specific game at your resolution and settings.

Upgrade advisorSoon

CPU or GPU first? The smallest upgrade that actually fixes your bottleneck.

VRAM checkerSoon

Is 8 GB still enough for this game at this resolution?

Refresh rate matcherSoon

What hardware do you need to actually drive a 144 Hz or 240 Hz display?

PSU wattage calculatorSoon

How much power supply your build genuinely needs, with headroom.

GPU comparisonSoon

Head-to-head across resolutions, not a single meaningless score.

CPU comparisonSoon

Gaming-weighted comparison that accounts for cache and core scaling.

Build plannerSoon

Plan a full system and check every part works together before you buy.

Why one engine matters

Most hardware tool sites bolt each calculator on separately, with its own invented formula. That is why their answers contradict each other — a site can tell you a pairing is fine on one page and badly matched on another.

Ours all read from a single model and a single dataset, so they agree with each other by construction. When we improve the calibration, every tool on the site gets more accurate at once.
