Tips & Tricks4

Moderate 1% Lows

1% low FPS drops to 73 FPS, frame drops below 180Hz cause visible stuttering.

Low Utilization

GPU at 42% and CPU at 51%, neither is fully loaded, yet 1% low FPS drops below your 180Hz refresh rate.

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.

FPS Limit 200

FPS was capped to 200 but it was not reached. Remove the FPS limit in Counter-Strike 2 settings for reliable data.
