The methodology of calculating FPS

How can you assess the performance of a gaming computer? A computer may have the fastest processor capable of billions of operations per second, RAM operating at extreme frequencies, and a video card that supports all the latest technologies, but only the coordinated work of all these components can ensure truly smooth and exciting gameplay. Therefore, the most important indicator of computer performance for games is the average number of frames per second (Frames per Second or FPS) in modern games.

However, each game requires a different amount of resources to render one frame, and therefore the number of frames that a computer can display per unit of time will be different for each game. In addition, factors such as screen resolution (the larger it is, the more work there is for the graphics processor) and graphics settings in the game itself (rendering photorealistic effects in the latest games is very resource-intensive) significantly affect FPS.

Thus, by determining the necessary requirements, you can assess the performance level of a new computer for modern games, and most importantly, track how gaming performance changes depending on the PC configuration.
