The PC Specs Calculator estimates your computer's overall performance based on key hardware components. It provides a standardized score that helps compare different system configurations.
The calculator uses this weighted formula:
Where:
Explanation: The weights reflect typical importance for general computing and gaming performance.
Details: A balanced PC avoids bottlenecks where one component limits others. This calculator helps identify potential imbalances in your configuration.
Tips: For accurate results, use actual benchmark scores from sites like PassMark or UserBenchmark. RAM is converted to points (1GB = 15 points).
Q1: Where can I find benchmark scores?
A: Popular benchmarking sites include PassMark, UserBenchmark, 3DMark, and Cinebench.
Q2: How accurate is this score?
A: It provides a general estimate. Real-world performance depends on specific applications and optimizations.
Q3: What's a good score for gaming?
A: 500+ points for 1080p gaming, 800+ for 1440p/4K or VR.
Q4: Does this account for overclocking?
A: No, use benchmark scores from your overclocked system for accurate results.
Q5: Can I compare different generations?
A: Yes, as long as you use comparable benchmark scores.
