What does 1% low FPS mean in Far Cry 3 benchmarks?

The 1% low FPS measures the worst-case frame rate during gameplay, the FPS that 99% of frames exceed. In this benchmark, the average is 140 FPS and the 1% low is 24 FPS. A small gap between average and 1% low means consistent frame delivery with minimal stuttering.

Tips & Tricks4

Low 1% Lows

1% low FPS drops to 24 FPS, frame drops below 144Hz cause visible stuttering. RTX 2050 usage at 81% is the bottleneck.

High GPU Usage

GPU usage hit 81% while CPU sat at 58%. Your RTX 2050 is the bottleneck, lower graphics settings or resolution to increase FPS.

Hot GPU Temp

GPU peaked at 88°C, thermal throttling detected. Use a cooling pad, clean air vents, or limit FPS to reduce heat.

Critical CPU Temp

CPU peaked at 98°C, thermal throttling detected. Use a cooling pad, clean air vents, or undervolt the CPU.

Answers About Your Benchmark

speedHow many FPS does RTX 2050 get in Far Cry 3?expand_more

RTX 2050 delivers 140 FPS average in Far Cry 3. 1% lows hit 24 FPS. Some frame drops during demanding scenes.

compressIs i5-11400H bottlenecking RTX 2050 in Far Cry 3?expand_more

No CPU bottleneck. RTX 2050 is the limiting factor at 81% usage, while i5-11400H has headroom at 58%. This is normal, most games are GPU-bound.

memoryIs 16GB RAM enough for Far Cry 3?expand_more

Far Cry 3 used 60% of 16GB RAM. Plenty of headroom for background apps.

thermostatWhat are normal GPU and CPU temperatures while gaming?expand_more

The RTX 2050 reached 85°C and the i5-11400H reached 93°C. On the warm side, check your case airflow and thermal paste.

trending_downWhat does 1% low FPS mean?expand_more

The lowest FPS drops, your lag spikes. Here it's 24 FPS vs 140 FPS average. The gap suggests noticeable frame drops during intense scenes.

boltHow do I get more FPS in Far Cry 3?expand_more

Your GPU is maxed out, lower resolution, turn down ray tracing and shadows, or cap your frame rate. Your temperatures are high, clean your fans, check case airflow, or repaste your cooler. Thermal throttling kills FPS. Check the Tips & Tricks section above for specific fixes based on your benchmark data, including background apps, driver issues, and hardware settings.
