Service description

Tools and educational content

BottleneckCalculator.biz provides directional hardware-balance estimates, educational articles, a public component endpoint and an embeddable calculator widget. The methodology page explains the model and its limits.

No account or purchase is required

The main calculator and editorial guides are available without an account. Access may change if misuse threatens site reliability or other users.

No performance guarantee

Results are estimates based on normalized tiers and scenario weights. They are not promises of FPS, compatibility, stability or financial value. Verify important decisions with current manufacturer specifications and measurements in your own system.

Acceptable use

You may use the public site and embed the official widget in lawful editorial or commercial pages. Follow these basic rules:

  • Keep the official attribution visible.
  • Do not claim that an estimate is a measured benchmark.
  • Do not overload endpoints or scrape at a harmful rate.
  • Do not copy the presentation or model and claim it as your own.

Read the widget publishing guide for installation, sizing and attribution details.

Intellectual property

The site design, written material, model presentation and original visual assets are protected. Short quotations and links may be used under applicable law. Broader republication requires permission.

Third-party links and embeds

External publishers and linked services have their own terms and privacy practices. We are not responsible for their content or availability.

Limitation of liability

The service is provided as available. To the extent permitted by law, BottleneckCalculator.biz is not liable for hardware purchases, lost data, downtime or indirect loss arising from reliance on an estimate.
