Tips & Tricks6

Low 1% Lows

1% low FPS drops to 8 FPS, frame drops below 120Hz cause visible stuttering. GPU peaked at 81°C and CPU at 94°C, thermal throttling detected.

Low Utilization

GPU at 58% and CPU at 29%, neither is fully loaded, yet 1% low FPS drops below your 120Hz refresh rate.

Hot GPU Temp

GPU peaked at 81°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.

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.

Outdated GPU Driver

GPU driver is 16 months old (version 576.88, 2025-06-24). Update to the latest driver for bug fixes, game optimizations, and potential FPS improvements.
