Tips & Tricks5

Good 1% Lows

1% low FPS drops to 109 FPS, frame drops below 165Hz cause visible stuttering. CPU peaked at 90°C, thermal throttling detected.

Critical CPU Temp

CPU peaked at 90°C, thermal throttling detected. Use a cooling pad, clean air vents, or undervolt the CPU.

Outdated GPU Driver

GPU driver is 9 months old (version 32.0.101.7026, 2025-08-19). Update to the latest driver for bug fixes, game optimizations, and potential FPS improvements.

Vsync On
