TargetFPS
What it is
TargetFPS is a free web tool that recommends graphics settings for individual games according to a player's hardware and target framerate. Users provide GPU, CPU, RAM, resolution, and desired framerate; the optimizer returns recommended settings, estimated FPS, explanations, impact tags, and a callout of major performance gains. It starts from a high-quality preset and adjusts individual settings to meet the target, weighing visual quality against estimated FPS cost. The game directory covers 60 titles with per-setting recommendations, FPS costs, results across five hardware tiers, and notes on data quality. Estimates use published benchmark points and interpolation for hardware without a direct measurement. For some games, engine-family modelling is used when direct benchmark data is unavailable, and the maker says those estimates have a wider confidence band. DLSS, FSR, and XeSS are treated as primary settings; frame generation is handled separately with its latency trade-off noted. JavaScript is required for the interactive optimizer, while static guides work without it. The service is free, and optional contributions do not unlock features.
For and against
For
- Free to use; contributions unlock no features.
- Covers per-setting recommendations for 60 games.
- Includes estimates across five hardware tiers.
- Static guides are available without JavaScript.
- Results explain recommendations and setting impacts.
Against
- Interactive optimizer requires JavaScript.
- Some estimates use engine-family modelling.
- Actual performance may vary; estimates have no warranty.
The verdict
TargetFPS offers hardware-specific settings suggestions and explains estimated performance costs across a directory of games. Its FPS figures are estimates, so actual results can differ.
Who it suits
It suits PC players who want game-specific graphics suggestions tailored to their hardware and a selected framerate target. Players can also consult the static guides without JavaScript, while interactive recommendations require it.
