Tips & Tricks4

Moderate 1% Lows

1% low FPS drops to 89 FPS, frame drops below 180Hz cause visible stuttering. RTX 3080 usage at 96% is the bottleneck.

Critical GPU Usage

GPU usage hit 96% while CPU sat at 57%. Your RTX 3080 is the bottleneck, upgrade, lower graphics settings or resolution to increase FPS.

Hot GPU Temp

GPU peaked at 80°C, thermal throttling detected. Clean dust filters, GPU heatsink, or improve case airflow.

High VRAM Usage

GPU VRAM usage averaged 7.7 of 10 GB (peaked at 88%). Lower graphics settings or resolution to avoid stutters from VRAM pressure.
