How we rank
Scores use a centrally versioned formula. Buying Score weights: performance 40%, value 30%, efficiency 10%, capacity 10%, documented features 5%, data confidence 5%. Missing inputs contribute zero; weights are not redistributed. CPU capacity means physical cores. Estimated results are labelled.

What should I check before upgrading?
Check the actual workload, power supply, case clearance and platform compatibility before buying. More VRAM or cores alone does not guarantee higher performance. CPU upgrades may require a BIOS update and compatible memory.
