GPU Temp Sensor

GPU temperature reported 1°C, this is a sensor reading failure. Temperature data for this session is unreliable. Try updating GPU drivers or check if monitoring software is conflicting.

Moderate 1% Lows

1% low FPS drops to 36 FPS, frame drops below 60Hz cause visible stuttering. GTX 960M usage at 96% is the bottleneck.

Critical GPU Usage

GPU usage hit 96% while CPU sat at 58%. Your GTX 960M is the bottleneck, lower graphics settings or resolution to increase FPS.

Critical CPU Temp

CPU peaked at 93°C, thermal throttling detected. Use a cooling pad, clean air vents, or undervolt the CPU.

Critical RAM Usage

RAM usage peaked at 95% of 16 GB. Close background apps to free up memory, or upgrade to more RAM.

FPS Limit 119

Max FPS reached 127 of 119 cap. Remove the 119 FPS limit in Diablo IV settings to increase FPS.
