Methodology

How we calculate the GPU Value Score and normalize market data.

The Core Formula

Value Score = (Performance Index / Price)

Our unique Value Score identifies the 'sweet spot' in the market. It represents the amount of performance you receive for every dollar spent. A higher score indicates better value.

1. Performance Normalization

We aggregate thousands of benchmark results into a single Performance Index. This index is normalized against the current top-tier GPU to ensure accurate scaling across generations.

2. Real-Time Pricing

Prices are pulled directly from major retailers. We only use the Lowest Available Price from in-stock listings to calculate the score. Out-of-stock items are flagged and penalized.
