HOW THIS IS CALCULATED

The per-game frame rates are the ceiling each card sustains on its own at that resolution, with no processor limiting it. The resolution table does include the processor, because that is where you see whether the difference reaches you.

Native resolution, no upscaling and no frame generation. Measured model error · Methodology
