Why these are estimates?

These numbers are model-predicted averages, not measured benchmarks of your specific system. Treat them as ballpark guidance, not a promise. Real framerate depends on:

Your full system (RAM speed, storage, drivers, OS, background load)
In-game scene complexity, multiplayer player count, mods
Driver updates and game patches after this estimate was made
Display, thermals, and how your case manages airflow

If you want a measured number for your specific build, the only reliable answer is to benchmark it yourself once you own the parts.

Balance

RAM-bound (40%)

Your RAM (mid-range) may be limiting performance for 1440p gaming. We don't have FPS data for either of these chips yet, so this is a spec-based estimate, not a measured verdict.

Compatibility

Power

PSU Excellent · 483W draw / 850W
