PCs are assigned a performance classification from the above hierarchy for desktop, gaming and workstation usage. All five component classes (CPU, GPU, SSD, HDD, RAM) are required for a complete PC score, but the HDD can be excluded without a material penalty. When a build has more than one component of the same type, the faster component is used. The results of millions of PCs are available on the custom build page.
How PC scores are calculated
DesktopSurfing, email, office apps, music/video playback.
Gaming3D Gaming and graphics.
This formula is weighted towards GPU performance:
25%*GCPU Bench + 50%*GPU Bench + 15%*SSD Bench + 10%*HDD Bench
(GCPU Bench† = 30% Single core, 60% Quad core, 10% Multi core)
†For games that can't use multiple cores the desktop CPU Bench is a better indicator of performance.
