Tips & Tricks5

Low 1% Lows

1% low FPS drops to 9 FPS, frame drops below 60Hz cause visible stuttering. i5-8300H usage at 97% is the bottleneck.

CPU Limiting GPU

The GTX 1050 Ti detected a i5-8300H bottleneck in 84% of frames, the GPU is waiting on the CPU to submit draw calls. Lower CPU-heavy settings or close background apps to improve FPS.

Critical RAM Usage

RAM usage peaked at 97% 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.

Outdated GPU Driver

GPU driver is 15 months old (version 572.16, 2025-01-26). Update to the latest driver for bug fixes, game optimizations, and potential FPS improvements.
