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: Adopted same-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.

This is a Laptop GPU, not the same-named desktop card. Target GPU power is unverified; all observed source modes remain, without selecting the high-power endpoint.

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