Tips & Tricks5

Moderate 1% Lows

1% low FPS drops to 56 FPS, frame drops below 120Hz cause visible stuttering. AMD Radeon(TM) 780M usage at 80% is the bottleneck.

Moderate GPU Usage

GPU usage hit 80% while CPU sat at 41%. Your AMD Radeon(TM) 780M is the bottleneck, upgrade, lower graphics settings or resolution to increase FPS.

Critical RAM Usage

RAM usage peaked at 94% of 32 GB. Close background apps to free up memory, or upgrade to more RAM.

GPU Underclocking

GPU averaged 2186 MHz, only 81% of its 2700 MHz boost clock. Check power settings, thermals, or driver issues preventing the GPU from reaching full speed.

Outdated GPU Driver

GPU driver is 11 months old (version 32.0.21030.1005, 2025-09-23). Update to the latest driver for bug fixes, game optimizations, and potential FPS improvements.
