Tips & Tricks5

Moderate 1% Lows

1% low FPS drops to 61 FPS, frame drops below 165Hz cause visible stuttering. RTX 3080 Laptop GPU usage at 99% is the bottleneck.

Critical GPU Usage

GPU usage hit 99% while CPU sat at 48%. Your RTX 3080 Laptop GPU is the bottleneck, lower graphics settings or resolution to increase FPS.

Hot GPU Temp

GPU peaked at 87°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.

Outdated GPU Driver

GPU driver is 9 months old (version 591.86, 2026-01-20). Update to the latest driver for bug fixes, game optimizations, and potential FPS improvements.
