I spoke with a community moderator (who wished to remain anonymous) about the fix: “It wasn't a simple bug. The original formula was from PCBS1. In PCBS2, they added thermal throttling and voltage curves. The old calculator wasn’t talking to the new temp sensor API. Patch 1.32 forced the calculator to use the same temperature predictions as the actual benchmark.”
Previously, 8GB of RAM scored half of 16GB, even if the workload only required 6GB. The fixed calculator now uses a . 16GB is the "sweet spot" (100% score). 32GB only gives a 5% boost, while 8GB takes a 40% penalty. This accurately mirrors real-world 3DMark behavior, where excess capacity does not increase scores. pc building simulator 2 3dmark calculator fixed

The broken calculator made the "Corporate Sponsorship" challenges in Career Mode unbearable. You were often tasked with building a PC that scores "15,000 points" on a $1,200 budget. Because the calculator was broken, you had to guess, build, test, rebuild, and repeat. The old calculator wasn’t talking to the new
The following week brought Update v1.00.18, which included a minor but notable correction: "Fixed incorrect 3D Mark German translation." While seemingly trivial, localization fixes like this demonstrate the developers' ongoing commitment to polish. The same update also fixed a situation where the tablet could get stuck with a blank screen during CAS latency onboarding, which indirectly affected players' ability to access the 3DMark app.
