Tips & Tricks4

GPU Temp Sensor

GPU temperature reported 1°C, this is a sensor reading failure. Temperature data for this session is unreliable. Try updating GPU drivers or check if monitoring software is conflicting.

GPU Usage Sensor

GPU usage reported 0% despite the game running, this is a sensor reading failure. Usage data for this session is unreliable. Try updating GPU drivers or check if monitoring software is conflicting.

CPU Limiting GPU

The RX 9070 XT detected a Ryzen 9 9950X bottleneck in 100% of frames, the GPU is waiting on the CPU to submit draw calls. Upgrade the Ryzen 9 9950X or lower CPU-heavy settings to improve FPS.

XMP Disabled

RAM is running at 4800 MHz instead of its rated 5200 MHz. Enable XMP/DOCP in BIOS to unlock full memory speed, this is free performance.
