This tool will estimate the frames per second (FPS) you can expect to get in CS:GO based on your computer’s specifications.
CS:GO FPS Estimator
This calculator helps you estimate the frames per second (FPS) you can expect to achieve in CS:GO based on your system’s hardware specifications and chosen graphics settings.
How to Use the Calculator
- Input your CPU frequency in GHz.
- Input your GPU memory in GB.
- Input your system’s RAM in GB.
- Choose your screen resolution.
- Choose your graphics settings.
- Click “Calculate” to get an estimated FPS.
How it Calculates the Results
The calculator uses a basic formula to estimate FPS based on the input parameters:
- CPU: Multiplied by 10
- GPU: Multiplied by 5
- RAM: Multiplied by 2
The base FPS is then adjusted based on the chosen resolution and graphics settings.
Resolution adjustment:
- 1920×1080: No change
- 2560×1440: Multiplied by 0.7
- 3840×2160: Multiplied by 0.4
Graphics settings adjustment:
- Low: Multiplied by 1.5
- Medium: Multiplied by 1.2
- High: No change
- Ultra: Multiplied by 0.8
Limitations
This FPS estimator provides a general idea of expected performance based on typical scaling factors. Actual performance may vary due to other unaccounted variables such as CPU architecture, background processes, specific in-game settings, and more. Therefore, use this tool only as a rough estimate.
Use Cases for This Calculator
