Good 1% Lows

1% low FPS drops to 155 FPS, frame drops below 240Hz cause visible stuttering. i5-13400F usage at 80% is the bottleneck.

High CPU Usage

CPU usage hit 80% while GPU sat at 32%. Your GPU has headroom, upgrade the i5-13400F or close background apps to increase FPS.

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.
