Tips & Tricks4

Moderate 1% Lows

1% low FPS drops to 43 FPS, frame drops below 165Hz cause visible stuttering. i7-2600 usage at 81% is the bottleneck.

High CPU Usage

CPU usage hit 81% while GPU sat at 17%. Your GPU has headroom, upgrade the i7-2600 or close background apps to increase FPS.

Critical CPU Temp

CPU peaked at 95°C, thermal throttling detected. Reapply thermal paste, clean dust, or improve case airflow.

FPS Limit 180

FPS was capped to 180 but it was not reached. Remove the FPS limit in Fortnite settings for reliable data.
