What does 1% low FPS mean in Dota 2 benchmarks?

The 1% low FPS measures the worst-case frame rate during gameplay, the FPS that 99% of frames exceed. In this benchmark, the average is 99 FPS and the 1% low is 63 FPS. A small gap between average and 1% low means consistent frame delivery with minimal stuttering.

Tips & Tricks4

Moderate 1% Lows

1% low FPS drops to 63 FPS, frame drops below 144Hz cause visible stuttering. CPU peaked at 100°C, thermal throttling detected.

Low Utilization

GPU at 30% and CPU at 38%, neither is fully loaded, yet 1% low FPS drops below your 144Hz refresh rate.

Critical CPU Temp

CPU peaked at 100°C, thermal throttling detected. Use a cooling pad, clean air vents, or undervolt the CPU.

Outdated GPU Driver

GPU driver is 25 months old (version 31.0.101.5333, 2024-02-21). Update to the latest driver for bug fixes, game optimizations, and potential FPS improvements.
