Tips & Tricks5

Moderate 1% Lows

1% low FPS drops to 44 FPS, frame drops below 120Hz cause visible stuttering. Intel(R) Arc(TM) 140V GPU (16GB) usage at 96% is the bottleneck.

Critical GPU Usage

GPU usage hit 96% while CPU sat at 53%. Your Intel(R) Arc(TM) 140V GPU (16GB) is the bottleneck, lower graphics settings or resolution to increase FPS.

High RAM Usage

RAM usage peaked at 89% of 32 GB. Close background apps to free up memory, or upgrade to more RAM.

Vsync On

FPS was capped to 120Hz. Disable Vsync in Counter-Strike 2 settings to increase FPS.

FPS Limit 400

FPS was capped to 400 but it was not reached. Remove the FPS limit in Counter-Strike 2 settings for reliable data.
