📊 Data Sources & Methodology

FM Rater uses benchmark data from trusted sources including:

  • PassMark, UserBenchmark, and NotebookCheck for CPU and GPU performance scores
  • Steam Hardware Survey and FM community data to define average setups and popular hardware
  • Real-world FM testing (thanks to the9llamas) across multiple devices to calibrate match engine recommendations and tier thresholds

All benchmark arrays are embedded server-side for privacy, completeness, and control. Scoring logic is custom-built to reflect FM-specific bottlenecks and real-world performance — not just synthetic benchmarks.
