Method: a game's demand tier maps to a “GPU index needed for ~60 FPS at 1080p”; each GPU's relative index produces an estimate via a diminishing-returns curve, then scaled for resolution. Source: TechPowerUp GPU database (relative performance), 2026-08-29.

About L.A. Noire
After the end of World War 2 long needed peace has been reached and should be protected, so Cole Phelps, a decorated war veteran, returns to Los Angeles, California to his wife and joining the LAPD. Neo-noir action-adventure, L.A. Noire allows players to solve crime cases through collecting clues, collecting witness statements and interrogation. Highly detailed facial animation allows players to detect the exact emotion witness or suspect is expressing, and it can become a leading hint in a case. Slow and meticulous crime solving is broke up by fast-paced action scenes including car chases, gunfights and hand to hand combat. After every case player’s performance will be graded by 1-5 star rating, depending on how they acted during interrogations and how well they searched for the clues. Aside from the main story cases, detective Cole can be involved into optional side-investigations, known as Street Crimes.

How the L.A. Noire optimization card & FPS estimate are computed
Each game is scored on a 0–9 demand tier from its published PC requirements (and a year/genre fallback when requirements are absent). The FPS estimate compares your selected GPU's relative-performance index against the tier's required index using a diminishing-returns curve, then scales for resolution. The settings card maps the demand tier and your hardware to a starting preset, an FPS band and an upscaler recommendation. All outputs are planning guides — verify in-game with the built-in benchmark when available.
