Tips & Tricks5

Moderate 1% Lows

1% low FPS drops to 55 FPS, frame drops below 165Hz cause visible stuttering. i5-13400F usage at 99% is the bottleneck.

Critical CPU Usage

CPU usage hit 99% while GPU sat at 54%. Your GPU has headroom, upgrade the i5-13400F or close background apps to increase FPS.

Critical CPU Temp

CPU peaked at 90°C, thermal throttling detected. Reapply thermal paste, clean dust, or improve case airflow.

Critical RAM Usage

RAM usage peaked at 100% of 16 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.
