Terms of Use

Short, plain, and honest — the same standard we hold the calculators to. By using truebottleneck, you accept the terms below.

Estimates, not advice

All results are estimates produced by the public formulas described in our methodology, provided "as is" with a stated confidence range. They're a planning aid, not a guarantee of real-world performance, and not professional purchasing advice.

No warranty

We work to keep the data accurate but make no warranty that results are error-free or fit for a particular purpose. Hardware buying decisions are your own; verify against current benchmarks for your exact configuration.

Affiliate disclosure

truebottleneck may participate in affiliate programs and earn a commission on qualifying purchases made through outbound links, at no extra cost to you. Recommendations are based on balance and value, never on commission.

Intellectual property & changes

Site content and original datasets are ours; hardware names are trademarks of their respective owners, used for identification only. We may update these terms as the site evolves — material changes will be dated at the top of this page.
