What does 1% low FPS mean in Counter-Strike 2 benchmarks?

The 1% low FPS measures the worst-case frame rate during gameplay, the FPS that 99% of frames exceed. In this benchmark, the average is 150 FPS and the 1% low is 91 FPS. A small gap between average and 1% low means consistent frame delivery with minimal stuttering.

Good 1% Lows

1% low FPS drops to 91 FPS, frame drops below 144Hz cause visible stuttering. CPU peaked at 97°C, thermal throttling detected.

Critical CPU Temp

CPU peaked at 97°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Outdated GPU Driver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 580.88, 2025-07-27). Update to the latest driver for bug fixes, game optimizations, and potential FPS improvements.
