Tips & Tricks4

Moderate 1% Lows

1% low FPS drops to 99 FPS, frame drops below 200Hz cause visible stuttering. i5-13400F usage at 100% is the bottleneck.

Critical CPU Usage

CPU usage hit 100% while GPU sat at 38%. Your GPU has headroom, upgrade the i5-13400F or close background apps to increase FPS.

Hot CPU Temp

CPU peaked at 88°C, thermal throttling detected. Reapply thermal paste, clean dust, or improve case airflow.

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.
