What the numbers mean
The GAMING score is a geometric mean of GPU (63 %), CPU (30 %), RAM (5 %) and drive (2 %) — a weak part cannot hide behind a strong one. The CPU score is the hardware's own performance and what we rank on. Every run is HMAC-signed in the app and scored on the server. The full methodology is open at https://whatfps.com/metodik
