What is a good FPS for PC gaming?

60 FPS is a strong baseline for smooth gaming. 120–165 FPS makes more sense with high-refresh monitors, while 240 FPS and above is mainly valuable in competitive games.

What to check

Use FrameForecast's FPS estimator and compatibility warnings as a starting point, then verify the specifications of your exact PC and any component you plan to buy. Game patches, drivers, cooling, background applications and settings can all affect real performance.

How FrameForecast can help

Compare hardware in the FPS estimator, run the PC benchmark on a desktop or laptop, and review the upgrade suggestions and compatibility warnings before deciding which component is worth changing.
