Define the question
A test starts with one decision a PC player needs to make. We choose the hardware, route and settings that can answer it.
GamerigPro methodology
Evidence before recommendations.
Useful PC advice needs more than a list of settings. We record the version, hardware, route and source behind each conclusion, then say clearly when evidence is incomplete.
The workflow
What counts as tested
A repeatable method matters more than a single impressive number.
Record the environment
We log the game version, client, Windows build, desktop CPU, desktop GPU, driver, memory, resolution and changed settings.
Repeat the same route
Performance comparisons use the same scene or gameplay route. We separate first-run shader behavior from steady play.
Publish the limits
We explain what was measured, what came from an official source and what still needs another test.
Performance coverage
Every result needs a test record
Our performance articles focus on desktop PC gaming. We do not turn a publisher requirement or a laptop result into a desktop recommendation.
- Desktop CPU, desktop GPU and available VRAM
- RAM capacity and configuration
- Windows build and graphics driver
- Game version, client and test date
- Resolution, frame limit and graphics settings
- Average frame rate, 1% low and frame-time behavior when available
- Repeatable route and number of runs
By article type
Different claims need different evidence
Hands-on context is required
A review identifies the PC client, version, playtime and progression point behind the verdict. If current hands-on access is missing, we do not present a source summary as a review.
Current menus and official routes
Installation and settings steps must match the current Windows client. We verify official requirements and distinguish publisher guidance from our own measured advice.
Frame time before slogans
We prefer repeatable captures, matched scenes and stable test conditions. Frame generation, ray tracing and upscaling are tested as separate choices.
Primary sources and player impact
News starts with the developer, publisher or platform source. We focus on what changed, when it changes and what a PC player should do next.
Sources and visuals
The image must support the claim
Game covers use recognizable current official art whenever possible. Screenshots inside an article must match the game, platform, version and section they support.
Technical facts that can change are checked against current official documentation. External claims are linked close to the relevant passage. Original charts are labeled as GamerigPro editorial visuals.
Updates and corrections
Games change. The article should say when it was checked.
Every article carries published and updated dates. A major client, requirement or feature change triggers a new verification pass. If the evidence is no longer available, we remove the recommendation or mark the limitation.
