FAQ

How does the GPU lifespan checker work?

It estimates FPS for your card in about 30 popular games at your chosen resolution and quality, on a typical mid-range CPU, and counts how many reach 60fps. The more that do, the longer your card has left.

Should I upgrade now or wait?

With GPU prices elevated, a card that still runs most games smoothly is usually worth keeping. If it only manages a third of them or fewer, an upgrade will change how every new release feels.

Are these exact benchmarks?

No. They are directional estimates built from published recommended specs and relative GPU performance. Treat them as a guide, then confirm with a benchmark of your exact game.
