Who we are
Bottleneck Calculator (bottleneckcalculator.si) is built and run by Deepam Mishra. By using the site you agree to these terms. If you don't agree, please don't use it.
Estimates, not guarantees
The bottleneck percentages, FPS figures, Mac results, comparisons and upgrade suggestions are estimates from a published model and averaged benchmark data. Real performance depends on the game, its patches, drivers, settings, cooling, power limits and other parts of your system, and can differ noticeably from what the site shows.
Use the results as one input when you plan a build or an upgrade, and check reviews of the specific parts and games before you buy. We aren't responsible for purchases or other decisions made on the basis of the site.
No warranty
The site is provided "as is" and "as available". We work to keep it accurate and online, but we don't promise that it's error-free, complete, up to date or always available, and we may change or remove features at any time.
Limitation of liability
To the extent the law allows, we aren't liable for any direct or indirect loss arising from your use of the site or reliance on its estimates. Nothing in these terms limits liability that can't be limited by law.
Using our content
You're welcome to share result links, quote individual figures with a link back to the page, and use the saved result images in forum posts, videos and social media.
Please don't copy pages, the hardware database or the guides in bulk, republish them as your own, or scrape the site automatically. The text, data tables, design and code are protected by copyright.
Trademarks
AMD, Ryzen, Radeon, Intel, Core, Arc, NVIDIA, GeForce, RTX, Apple, Mac, MacBook and other product names are trademarks of their respective owners. They're used only to identify the hardware. The site isn't affiliated with, sponsored by or endorsed by any of these companies.
Links to other sites
Some pages link to other websites. We don't control them and aren't responsible for their content or practices.
Ads and affiliate links
The site doesn't currently show ads or use affiliate links. If that changes, we'll say so on the pages concerned and in the privacy policy. It will never change how hardware is rated; see our editorial policy.
Changes to these terms
We may update these terms. The date at the top shows the latest version, and continuing to use the site after a change means you accept the updated terms.
