What is an FPS calculator?
An FPS calculator estimates how many frames per second a PC may deliver in a game. RigMetric considers the selected processor, graphics card, system RAM, game profile and resolution. Where sourced benchmark data is available, that evidence takes priority; otherwise the result is labelled an estimate.
FPS depends on more than your GPU
GPU performance, CPU limits, RAM capacity and channel configuration, resolution, graphics settings, drivers, thermals, power limits and game updates can all change real-world FPS.
720p vs 1080p FPS
Lowering resolution generally reduces GPU workload and can increase FPS when the GPU is limiting performance. If the CPU is already the main limit, changing resolution may have a smaller effect.
Average FPS is not the whole story
Frame pacing and 1% lows can matter for perceived smoothness. Learn more in our average FPS vs 1% low guide.
Check whether your PC can run a game
Use Can I Run It for game-checking intent, then browse the game FPS database for available profiles.
Compare your hardware
Search the GPU database and CPU database, or read the benchmark methodology to understand where published data comes from.
