Tips & Tricks4

Moderate GPU Usage

GPU usage hit 79% while CPU sat at 46%. Your RTX 4050 Laptop GPU is the bottleneck, lower graphics settings or resolution to increase FPS.

Critical CPU Temp

CPU peaked at 90°C, thermal throttling detected. Use a cooling pad, clean air vents, or undervolt the CPU.

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.

FPS Limit 300

Max FPS reached 315 of 300 cap. Remove the 300 FPS limit in Counter-Strike 2 settings to increase FPS.
