High GPU Usage

GPU usage hit 83% while CPU sat at 36%. Your RX 9070 XT is the bottleneck, upgrade, lower graphics settings or resolution to increase FPS.

High RAM Usage

RAM usage peaked at 89% of 16 GB. Close background apps to free up memory, or upgrade to more RAM.

GPU Underclocking

GPU averaged 600 MHz, only 20% of its 2970 MHz boost clock. Check power settings, thermals, or driver issues preventing the GPU from reaching full speed.

XMP Disabled

RAM is running at 4800 MHz instead of its rated 5600 MHz. Enable XMP/DOCP in BIOS to unlock full memory speed, this is free performance.

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 248

Max FPS reached 273 of 248 cap. Remove the 248 FPS limit in Counter-Strike 2 settings to increase FPS.
