Tips & Tricks6

Low 1% Lows

1% low FPS drops to 2 FPS, frame drops below 144Hz cause visible stuttering. GPU peaked at 87°C and CPU at 94°C, thermal throttling detected.

PCIe Gen 1

GPU is running at PCIe Gen 1, severely limiting bandwidth. GPU clock dropped to 714 MHz (50% of 1425 MHz boost). Update BIOS, check the PCIe slot configuration, or reseat the GPU.

Hot GPU Temp

GPU peaked at 87°C, thermal throttling detected. Use a cooling pad, clean air vents, or limit FPS to reduce heat.

Critical CPU Temp

CPU peaked at 94°C, thermal throttling detected. Use a cooling pad, clean air vents, or undervolt the CPU.

Critical RAM Usage

RAM usage peaked at 100% of 16 GB. Close background apps to free up memory, or upgrade to more RAM.

GPU Underclocking

GPU averaged 714 MHz, only 50% of its 1425 MHz boost clock. Check power settings, thermals, or driver issues preventing the GPU from reaching full speed.
