How this estimate is calculated
Full transparency on the model.
Method
Project Zomboid is assigned a hardware-demand tier 4/9 from its published requirements (or release era + genre). Each GPU has a relative-performance index (RTX 4090 = 100, source TechPowerUp). FPS ≈ 60 × (GPU index ÷ required index)^0.85, then scaled ×0.66 for 1440p and ×0.38 for 4K. FPS figures are editorial estimates from a transparent demand-tier model (TechPowerUp relative-performance indices, retrieved 2026-08-29), not benchmarks. Verify with your own hardware.
