Tips & Tricks5

Low 1% Lows

1% low FPS drops to 6 FPS, frame drops below 60Hz cause visible stuttering. GPU peaked at 84°C, thermal throttling detected.

Hot GPU Temp

GPU peaked at 84°C, thermal throttling detected. Clean dust filters, GPU heatsink, or improve case airflow.

Critical RAM Usage

RAM usage peaked at 97% of 16 GB. Close background apps to free up memory, or upgrade to more RAM.

GPU Underclocking

GPU averaged 1361 MHz, only 77% of its 1777 MHz boost clock. Check power settings, thermals, or driver issues preventing the GPU from reaching full speed.
