Tips & Tricks5

Moderate 1% Lows

1% low FPS drops to 56 FPS, frame drops below 144Hz cause visible stuttering. i7-6700 usage at 63% is the bottleneck.

Moderate CPU Usage

CPU usage hit 63% while GPU sat at 10%. Your GPU has headroom, upgrade the i7-6700 or close background apps to increase FPS.

High RAM Usage

RAM usage peaked at 89% of 8 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.

Browser Running

A browser used 41% CPU and 0% GPU during the benchmark. Close all browser windows for cleaner results.
