How to read metrics and rankings

Performance / 100 — a gaming performance score. Scores are normalized from 1 to 100 across GPU models with test data for the same resolution and mode; 100 is the highest performance. Adding or removing comparison models does not change this scale.

Average FPS — an estimated average frame rate across the test set for the selected resolution and mode. Results in a particular game may differ. These figures apply to the GPU model and all graphics cards based on it.

Value / 100 — the ratio of underlying performance to price, normalized from 1 to 100. It includes GPU models with test data and prices for the selected condition in the selected markets. A score of 100 marks the best performance for the money.

FPS / 100$ — average FPS ÷ price in the selected currency × the amount shown in the label. The price follows the selected condition. Higher is better. For example, 60 FPS at a price of 300 in the selected currency gives 20 FPS per 100.

Bars — in the metric cards, performance and value for money use a 0–100 scale. For average FPS and FPS for the money, a full bar represents the highest value among all models with data for the same resolution and mode. Price-based metrics also follow the selected condition. For example, 20 FPS with a maximum of 100 FPS fills 20% of the bar.

Rank — the position among all GPU models with data for that metric, including models not selected for comparison. Average FPS, Performance and value-for-money metrics may have different ranks and participant counts. Graphics cards based on the same GPU model do not add ranking entries.
