How we work

Editorial Standards

FpsGen publishes PC gaming guides, system requirements, news, reviews and free tools. This page explains how we write and check that content, where the numbers in our tools come from, and what we do when we get something wrong.

Our rules for every article

Answer first

Every guide starts with the short answer, then the details. No filler to make an article longer.

Check every fact

Dates, prices, specs and requirements are checked against the official source before publishing. Each article lists its sources at the end.

Rumors are labeled

Unconfirmed information is called a rumor or a leak in the text, never presented as fact.

No invented scores

We only give a review score when we have played the game. Review roundups that summarize other outlets have no FpsGen score and say so.

Kept up to date

When requirements, prices or release dates change, we update the article and its "last checked" date.

Clear about estimates

Tools and comparison pages say when a number is an estimate and how it was calculated.

Where our data comes from

Our tools (Can I Run It, FPS Estimator,Bottleneck Calculator, Compare Hardwareand PC Price) all use the same data:

Game requirements: From the official store page (Steam, Epic, the publisher) or the developer's own announcement. Expected requirements for games that are not out yet are always marked as expected.
Graphics card and processor scores: A gaming performance score for each part (GTX 1060 6GB = 100 for graphics cards, Ryzen 5 3600 = 100 for processors), based on averages of published benchmark reviews such as TechPowerUp and Tom's Hardware.
FPS estimates: Our FPS Estimator scales those scores against each game's requirements, and is calibrated on published benchmark results for popular games. Results are estimates for typical gameplay, not our own lab tests, and every tool says so.
Specs: Official specifications from NVIDIA, AMD and Intel (video memory, power, cores, clocks, socket).
Prices: Typical US prices: the usual new price in stores and the median sold price on eBay. We update them every one to two months and show the month next to them.
News: Official announcements, store pages, patch notes and trailers first. When a story comes from a leak, a rumor or another outlet, we say so and link to it.

How we use AI

We use AI as a helper, not as a writer. It saves us time when we search for information and when we prepare a first draft. The real work is done by our team: choosing what to cover, playing the games, checking every fact against the sources listed in the article, writing the final text and approving it before it is published. AI is never used to invent quotes, review scores, benchmark results or hands-on impressions.

Corrections

If you find a mistake, tell us on the contact page or atcontact@fpsgen.com. We check every report and fix confirmed errors as soon as we can. When a correction changes the meaning of an article, we update its date and say what changed.

Independence and funding

FpsGen is free to read and is owned by Visionary Nexus LLC. Some links are affiliate links (markedrel="sponsored"): if you buy or start a game through them, we may earn a commission at no cost to you. Advertisers and partners never review, approve or pay for our articles, and we are not affiliated with the game publishers, NVIDIA, AMD, Intel, Valve, Sony, Microsoft or Nintendo.
