What does 1% low FPS mean in Counter-Strike 2 benchmarks?

The 1% low FPS measures the worst-case frame rate during gameplay, the FPS that 99% of frames exceed. In this benchmark, the average is 61 FPS and the 1% low is 44 FPS. A small gap between average and 1% low means consistent frame delivery with minimal stuttering.

Tips & Tricks6

Moderate 1% Lows

1% low FPS drops to 44 FPS, frame drops below 144Hz cause visible stuttering. i5-1240P usage at 72% is the bottleneck.

Moderate CPU Usage

CPU usage hit 72% while GPU sat at 59%. Your GPU has headroom, close background apps or lower settings to increase FPS.

Critical RAM Usage

RAM usage peaked at 96% of 8 GB. Close background apps to free up memory, or upgrade to more RAM.

Single Channel RAM

RAM is running in single channel mode, halving memory bandwidth. Install a second stick to enable dual channel for a significant FPS boost, especially in CPU-limited games.

Outdated GPU Driver

GPU driver is 54 months old (version 30.0.101.1298, 2022-01-10). Update to the latest driver for bug fixes, game optimizations, and potential FPS improvements.

FPS Limit 72

Max FPS reached 80 of 72 cap. Remove the 72 FPS limit in Counter-Strike 2 settings to increase FPS.
