Will it run? Frame rates from published benchmarks
Pick a game, a resolution and the frame rate you want. You see which graphics cards and Macs reached it in a published test, the figure and setting each one ran at, who tested it, and the cheapest one that got there. Or pick the card or Mac you have and see every game's published frame rates on it.
How to read it
Every number here is a frame rate a publication measured and printed, with a link to the page it is on and the date. We don't own the hardware and run nothing ourselves. A card counts as reaching your target only when a published average is at or above it, at the resolution you picked. A figure just under the target does not count, and nothing is rounded up.
The setting matters as much as the card. "Ultra" in one review and "High" in another are different workloads, so each row says the preset it ran at. Where a card has several figures that reach the target, the highest is shown first and the others beneath it.
Figures from different publications were measured on different test systems and in different scenes of the same game, so treat a few frames' difference between two cards as noise. The testbed, usually the processor, is shown where the publication named it. At 1080p the processor is often the limit, not the graphics card.
Upscaling and frame generation
By default only native figures count: the game drawn at the resolution you picked. Tick the box to count figures with DLSS, FSR or XeSS upscaling too. Those render at a lower resolution and scale up, and each row names the mode. Frame generation (DLSS Frame Generation or Multi Frame Generation, FSR Frame Generation) inserts frames the game never rendered. Such figures never count towards a target here. They are listed on the card's own page.
When nothing was published
If no publication we cite has tested a card at that game and resolution, the tool says so and shows no number. It never estimates a missing figure from another resolution, a similar card or a spec sheet. A missing line usually means the card is older or newer than the reviews we draw on, or the reviewers used another game.
Prices
The cheapest card that reaches your target is picked on Best Buy's own price, checked within the last day, where we have one, otherwise the maker's launch price, and the answer says which. Amazon doesn't let sites show its prices outside its own price feed, so its buttons say "check price". A Mac's launch price is for the configuration its page names.
Sources
The 191 figures in this tool, for 23 graphics cards and Macs across 6 games, come from: Engadget, KitGuru, Notebookcheck, TechSpot (Hardware Unboxed), Tom's Guide, Tom's Hardware. Each figure links to its own page.
The games are our benchmark suite's: the same tests every product page and leaderboard reads, so this tool, the tables and the compare page always agree. For a card's every result at every setting, open its page; to put two side by side, use compare.
