How accurate are the FPS predictions?

The MCP uses a simulation engine that analyzes CPU and GPU throughput to provide estimates for average FPS and 1% lows.

Can I use this to decide between a CPU or GPU upgrade?

Yes. You can use the capability to identify the optimal path by seeing which component provides the highest performance gain for your specific games.

Does this work for 4K gaming?

Yes. The capability allows you to specify resolutions like 1080p, 1440p, or 4K to see how bottlenecks shift at different levels.

The 1% low is a metric used to represent the frame rate during moments of heavy load, helping you understand how much stuttering you might experience.

How do I connect this to my AI?

Vinkius hosts the MCP. You just connect your preferred MCP-compatible client like Claude or Cursor once, and you have instant access.

What does it mean if my system is 'CPU-bound'?

A CPU-bound state means your processor cannot prepare instructions fast enough for the graphics card, which often happens at lower resolutions like 1080p with high-end GPUs.

Can I use this to plan a PC build?

Yes, by using simulate_upgrade or identify_optimal_path, you can evaluate how different hardware combinations will perform in specific games before purchasing components.

Works with modern AI clients that support MCP, including ChatGPT, Claude, Cursor, and more.

Your AI does the work. We keep it safe and sound.

No other AI tool gives you this. Your workflow runs in the client you already love, your account stays protected, and you decide what the agent can and cannot do. It is the whole reason to make the switch.

Each Connector lives inside our infrastructure, the same place where your workflow runs. The three things below are already part of it, working quietly in the background so you never have to think about them. Nothing to add, nothing to set up, nothing to worry about.

V8 Isolate01

Each Connector runs inside its own sealed environment.

Each Connector runs inside its own sealed V8 runtime — no access to your files, your system, or other servers. A Connector never sees past its own request.

Kill Switch02

One switch stops every agent. Instantly.

One action deactivates every Connector, revokes every token, and ends every session at once. AI Governance keeps the record.

FinOps per User03

Spending limits that pause instead of surprise.

Every user keeps their own connections and credentials, isolated from everyone else. Anything that would cross your spending limit is held for your approval, not billed.

Three controls, built into the layer your AI connects through.

Capability set01 / 01

01-03

3 capabilities in this set.

Part of 3 available through FPS Hardware Bottleneck Estimator.

01
Simulate upgrade
This capability runs a simulation to show how replacing a specific component will change your performance. It calculates the impact of a new part on your existing setup.
02
Estimate performance
This capability predicts your expected average FPS and 1% lows. It also identifies if your system is currently CPU-bound or GPU-bound at your chosen resolution.
03
Identify optimal path
This capability finds the most effective hardware upgrade for your specific needs. It points you toward the component that will provide the biggest performance jump.

Real work

What teams actually run

Pre-purchase Validation

Check if a new graphics card will actually improve your FPS before you spend the money.

Resolution Planning

See if your current CPU can handle a jump from 1080p to 1440p without causing a massive bottleneck.

Budget Optimization

Find out if upgrading your CPU or your GPU provides a better return on investment for a specific game.

System Troubleshooting

Determine why your frame rates are low by identifying if your CPU is struggling to keep up with your GPU.

One connector, every AI

FPS Hardware Bottleneck Estimator works with the most popular AI clients.

These are the most popular clients, each with a step-by-step guide: one link, set up once, with governance and visibility built in. And because everything runs on the MCP standard, the same connection also works in any other compatible client — nothing to rebuild.

Building your own app? The connector is yours to use.

You don't need a client to put FPS Hardware Bottleneck Estimator to work: the same hosted connection plugs into your own applications and agent code, with the same governance on every request. Build with it, chat with it — one connection for both.

Preview access · not provider authentication

The vk_preview_* token belongs to Vinkius preview infrastructure. It lets Claude discover and display the capabilities of FPS Hardware Bottleneck Estimator, so you can see the experience inside your AI.

It does not authenticate your account with FPS Hardware Bottleneck Estimator. Actions requiring credentials or live account data may not run until you activate the Connector and authorize the service.
