Tips & Tricks5

Low 1% Lows

1% low FPS drops to 10 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 96% of 16 GB. Close background apps to free up memory, or upgrade to more RAM.

Critical VRAM Usage

GPU VRAM usage averaged 3.3 of 4 GB (peaked at 96%). Lower graphics settings or resolution to avoid stutters from VRAM pressure.

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.
