HEAD TO HEAD · TRANSPARENT DATATesting methodology
Comparison results are a guide, not an absolute truth. This page explains where data comes from and how scores are calculated.
Test rig updated
01Specification sources
Official manufacturer specifications, architecture documentation and verified retail products are primary sources.
02Result sources
Game FPS and application tests are stored with their test rig. Synthetic results remain separate from games.
03How scores are normalized
Raw FPS, benchmark points and specifications are mapped to a 0–100 scale inside one category and scenario.
04How the overall score is calculated
The overall score combines performance, efficiency and value. Scenario ratings use their own documented weights.
05How price is handled
CMS stores MSRP in USD. Local display uses currency rates; price affects value scores, not raw performance.
06How missing data is handled
A missing value is not zero. It is excluded from the average and marked as unavailable.
07Mobile and desktop versions
Mobile and desktop products remain separate even when their commercial names are similar.
08Update frequency
Catalog data is reviewed regularly and the rig is updated after material driver, OS or hardware changes.
