Tips & Tricks8

Low 1% Lows

1% low FPS drops to 13 FPS, frame drops below 144Hz cause visible stuttering. i5-11400H usage at 85% is the bottleneck.

PCIe Gen 1

GPU is running at PCIe Gen 1, severely limiting bandwidth. Update BIOS, check the PCIe slot configuration, or reseat the GPU.

High CPU Usage

CPU usage hit 85% while GPU sat at 32%. Your GPU has headroom, close background apps or lower settings to increase FPS.

Critical CPU Temp

CPU peaked at 91°C, thermal throttling detected. Use a cooling pad, clean air vents, or undervolt the CPU.

Critical RAM Usage

RAM usage peaked at 97% of 8 GB. Close background apps to free up memory, or upgrade to more RAM.

Single Channel RAM

RAM is running in single channel mode, halving memory bandwidth. Install a second stick to enable dual channel for a significant FPS boost, especially in CPU-limited games.

Vsync On

FPS was capped to 144Hz. Disable Vsync in Fortnite settings to increase FPS.

FPS Limit 144

Max FPS reached 144 of 144 cap. Remove the 144 FPS limit in Fortnite settings to increase FPS.
