Tips & Tricks5

Low Utilization

GPU at 24% and CPU at 49%, neither is fully loaded, yet 1% low FPS drops below your 180Hz refresh rate.

Critical CPU Temp

CPU peaked at 91°C, thermal throttling detected. Use a cooling pad, clean air vents, or undervolt the CPU.

High RAM Usage

RAM usage peaked at 86% of 16 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Outdated GPU Driver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 17 months old (version 566.07, 2024-10-20). Update to the latest driver for bug fixes, game optimizations, and potential FPS improvements.
