Tips & Tricks5

Moderate 1% Lows

1% low FPS drops to 48 FPS, frame drops below 180Hz cause visible stuttering. Ryzen 5 8400F usage at 96% is the bottleneck.

Critical CPU Usage

CPU usage hit 96% while GPU sat at 39%. Your GPU has headroom, upgrade the Ryzen 5 8400F or close background apps to increase FPS.

High RAM Usage

RAM usage peaked at 87% of 16 GB. Close background apps to free up memory, or upgrade to more RAM.

High VRAM Usage

GPU VRAM usage averaged 6.1 of 8 GB (peaked at 89%). 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.
