GAMING PERFORMANCE

PS5 (2024) = 100

Gaming Performance Index (GPI)

Reference estimate · Not measured on this computer≈151–159100 is a PS5 (2024) reference, not a maximum. Relative displayed values are not game FPS ratios or a winner.

Reference estimate · Conditions & method

Reference estimates can use different methods and configurations. Bar lengths are not precise gaming comparisons, FPS ratios or target-computer rankings.

Method: Conditional GPU reference

PS5 (2024) = 100

Historical GPU or named-configuration reference, not a measurement of this computer. CPU, memory, driver, power and cooling may differ.

Endpoints reflect observed conditions or calibration-method sensitivity, not a target confidence or prediction interval. No midpoint is selected.

Apple graphics APIs and runtime differ from Windows. Synthetic proxies do not represent every native, translated or CrossOver game.
