What does 1% low FPS mean in Far Cry 6 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 65 FPS and the 1% low is 3 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 3 FPS, frame drops below 60Hz cause visible stuttering. Peak RAM usage at 100% is the bottleneck.

Critical RAM Usage

RAM usage peaked at 100% of 6 GB. Close background apps to free up memory, or upgrade to more RAM.

Critical VRAM Usage

GPU VRAM usage averaged 1.7 of 2 GB (peaked at 93%). Lower graphics settings or resolution to avoid stutters from VRAM pressure.

Outdated GPU Driver

GPU driver is 19 months old (version 572.83, 2025-03-14). Update to the latest driver for bug fixes, game optimizations, and potential FPS improvements.
