Optimization guide
Compare two gaming PCs for FPS performance
Use side-by-side comparisons to decide whether to upgrade CPU, GPU, or both based on your real game targets.
Most upgrade decisions fail because they compare synthetic scores instead of game-level outcomes. The right comparison is per title, per resolution, and per low-percentile behavior.
Start with Build Matcher to model both systems, then validate in the benchmark database for your top games. If both average FPS values are close but lows differ heavily, prioritize consistency over peak.
Document the best-value delta in cost per low-percentile frame gained. That approach usually exposes over-spending on the wrong component tier.
