What changed.
Formula parameters, evidence rows, game profiles, and catalogue changes. If it changes a prediction, it is listed here.
- Game update
Marvel's Spider-Man Remastered profile anchored to ComputerBase benchmark
Four evidence rows added for Marvel's Spider-Man Remastered (RTX 3090 Ti, RTX 3080 FE, RTX 3060 Ti FE, RTX 2070 Super FE, 1080p Maximum native RT off, GPU city test scene, Core i9-12900K rig from August 2022 article). GPU demand raised from 80 to 87 so all four measured averages sit inside the engine band on intel-12900k with Quality upscaler assumed. Promoted from Estimated to Benchmark-informed. Preset substitution: source Maximum is treated as the engine's Ultra. Snapshot: docs/calibration/archive/computerbase.de/2026-04-23/spider-man-remastered-benchmark.html.
- Game update
Horizon Forbidden West profile anchored to ComputerBase benchmark
Four evidence rows added for Horizon Forbidden West (RTX 4090, RTX 4080 Super, RTX 3080 FE, RTX 3060 12 GB, 1080p Sehr-Hoch native RT off, open-world river sequence near Fahllicht, Ryzen 9 7950X3D rig from March 2024 article). GPU demand raised from 95 to 135 so all four measured averages sit inside the engine band on proxy amd-7800x3d with Quality upscaler assumed. Promoted from Estimated to Benchmark-informed. Preset substitution: source Very High (Sehr-Hoch) is treated as the engine's Ultra. Snapshot: docs/calibration/archive/computerbase.de/2026-04-23/horizon-forbidden-west-benchmark.html.
- Game update
Resident Evil 4 (Remake) profile anchored to ComputerBase benchmark
Four evidence rows added for RE4R (RTX 4090, RTX 3080, RTX 3070, RTX 3060 12 GB, 1080p Maximum native RT off, Dorfvilla GPU sequence, Ryzen 9 7950X3D rig from March 2023 article). GPU demand kept at 88; feasible band already contained all four averages. Promoted from Estimated to Benchmark-informed. Preset substitution: Capcom Maximum is treated as the engine's Ultra. Regression tests use in-catalog amd-7800x3d as CPU proxy. Snapshot stored under docs/calibration/archive/computerbase.de/2026-04-23/.
- Game update
Assassin's Creed Valhalla profile anchored to ComputerBase benchmark
Four evidence rows added for Valhalla (RTX 3090, RTX 3080, RTX 3070, RTX 2080 Ti, 1080p Extrem-hoch native, Hraefnathorp test scene, Ryzen 9 3900XT rig from November 2020). GPU demand tuned from 72 to 127. Valhalla promoted from Estimated to Benchmark-informed. Preset substitution: source Extrem-hoch is treated as the engine's Ultra. Regression tests use in-catalog amd-3700x as a documented CPU proxy. Snapshot stored under docs/calibration/archive/computerbase.de/2026-04-23/.
- Game update
Forza Horizon 5 profile anchored to ComputerBase benchmark
Four evidence rows added for FH5 (RTX 3080, RTX 3070, RTX 3060 Ti, RTX 3060, 1080p Extreme+max native, Cascade-Pfad scene). GPU demand tuned from 70 to 112. FH5 promoted from Estimated to Benchmark-informed. Preset substitution: source's Extrem+manual-max is treated as the engine's Ultra, a known bias documented in profile notes.
- Game update
Baldur's Gate 3 profile anchored to ComputerBase benchmark
Four evidence rows added for BG3 (RTX 4070 Ti, RTX 3080, RTX 4070, RTX 4060 Ti, 1080p Ultra Vulkan, Trielta-Felsen scene). BG3 promoted from Estimated to Benchmark-informed. Act 3 Lower City is explicitly not the calibrated case.
- Prediction
GPU scaling constant tuned against benchmarks
Global GPU scaling constant raised from 140 to 200, anchored against eight rows across two games (4× Cyberpunk 2077 at 1080p Ultra, 4× Hogwarts Legacy at 1440p Ultra). Every anchor row's native-measured FPS now falls inside the engine's predicted range. Cyberpunk 2077 and Hogwarts Legacy promoted from Estimated to Benchmark-informed.
- Game update
12 benchmark readings cited for three games
First evidence rows committed: 4× Cyberpunk 2077 (ComputerBase, 1080p Ultra native, RTX 4090 / 4070 / 4060 / 3060), 4× Hogwarts Legacy (Notebookcheck, 1440p Ultra native, RTX 4060 Ti / 3070 / 4070 / 3060), 4× Baldur's Gate 3 (ComputerBase, 1080p Ultra Vulkan, RTX 4070 Ti / 3080 / 4070 / 4060 Ti). CS2 CPU and Hogwarts VRAM anchors were dropped. Evidence was insufficient or inapplicable at target settings.
- Game update
Initial game catalog published: 40 games
Forty game profiles published. Three are Benchmark-informed (Cyberpunk 2077, Hogwarts Legacy, Baldur's Gate 3). The remaining 37 are Estimated, the honest label until specific cited benchmarks are attached per title.
