🧪 DISCLAIMER:
1- The tests are run under exactly the same conditions, but some results may vary slightly due to Windows updates or updates to the games themselves. When possible, I always use the same version; if not, I’ll note in the description which games were tested with different patches.
2- Always consider a margin of error that I estimate around 2-3%. Below this threshold, you can consider the results basically identical.
