06 Disclaimers and Accuracy of Results
Provided As-Is
frameratetest.net and all its tools are offered on an "as is" basis. We do our best to keep everything running smoothly and accurately, but we can't guarantee the site will always be available, error-free, or completely secure.
About Tool Results
📊
Results Are Helpful Estimates, Not Precise Measurements
The numbers our tools produce FPS readings, DPI values, polling rates, refresh rates, click scores are estimates based on browser APIs. They can be influenced by browser overhead, OS activity, hardware drivers, and what else is running on your system at the time. Think of them as useful indicators rather than definitive specifications. We don't claim they'll perfectly match your hardware's official specs.
You use the results from our tools entirely at your own judgement. They're meant to help you get a sense of your hardware performance, not to replace professional testing equipment.
Content Accuracy
We work hard to keep our articles and guides accurate, but technology moves fast and things can change. If you're making an important hardware decision, we'd always recommend double-checking specs with the manufacturer directly rather than relying solely on our content.
Not Professional Advice
Nothing on frameratetest.net is professional technical advice. Our tools are a great starting point for understanding your setup, but they shouldn't be the sole basis for major hardware purchases or system configurations.
