What PCLift Evaluates

  • Motherboard socket and chipset support for the target CPU path.
  • BIOS readiness and cooling headroom for sustained workloads.
  • Expected frame-time uplift in CPU-limited game scenarios.
  • Net cost after resale/trade-in value from your existing part.

Expectation Setting

  • Recommendations show expected ranges, not guaranteed exact FPS.
  • Unknown rig details reduce confidence and trigger follow-up checks.
  • Blocking compatibility issues are surfaced before route actions.
