Tips & Tricks4

GPU Temp Sensor

GPU temperature reported 1°C, this is a sensor reading failure. Temperature data for this session is unreliable. Try updating GPU drivers or check if monitoring software is conflicting.

Moderate 1% Lows

1% low FPS drops to 39 FPS, frame drops below 60Hz cause visible stuttering. Peak RAM usage at 99% is the bottleneck.

Critical RAM Usage

RAM usage peaked at 99% of 12 GB. Close background apps to free up memory, or upgrade to more RAM.

Outdated GPU Driver

GPU driver is 45 months old (version 31.0.101.2115, 2022-11-16). Update to the latest driver for bug fixes, game optimizations, and potential FPS improvements.
