About Us

Our purpose

Compusemble exists to help you build the best possible tech system for your specific needs. We do this through a variety of ways.

1. Browse computer parts

To build a top performing computer system, you will need to know what options are available to you. Thus, we curate high-quality computer parts and and provide you with a list for you to browse in a variety of ways.

2. Compare computer parts

For select computer parts, we use a proprietary scoring system to evaluate their quality. We call this the compusemble score, and it is designed to provide a realistic representation of a computer part's benchmarked performance.

3. Buy products

Of course, we provide you with a way to buy the products we list on the site, via our referral partners, like Amazon.

Our scoring methodology

Our item scores are based on data from a combination of synthetic and real world benchmarks. We take the results, normalize them, and put them into our algorithm to determine the final score. The scores are relative to the top scoring item in each product category. The top performing item will receive a perfect 10 out of 10. For example, a GPU that has a score of, say, 6 out of 10, means that it has roughly 60% of the performance of the top performing GPU. However, gaming rasterization performance is not the only thing being considered. We also take into account ray tracing performance, feature set (for example, NVIDIA supports a state of the art AI image reconstruction technique - DLSS), as well as performance in tasks other than gaming. This applies to our CPU and SSD scores - we consider their performance in a variety of different tasks.

For our GPU benchmarks, we use several 3DMark tests such as Time Spy, Time Spy Extreme, and DirectX Ray Tracing, as well as H.264/H.265 encoding tests.

For our CPU benchmarks, we use Cinebench, Blender, and 7zip.

For our SSD benchmarks, we use CrystalDiskMark to test both sequential and random operations across a variety of block sizes, PCMark 10 (both full drive and quick tests), and ATTO.

In addition, we also test performance and load times in a multitude of games across multiple resolutions.
