Tips & Tricks5

Moderate 1% Lows

1% low FPS drops to 92 FPS, frame drops below 240Hz cause visible stuttering. i5-10600K usage at 66% is the bottleneck.

Moderate CPU Usage

CPU usage hit 66% while GPU sat at 41%. Your GPU has headroom, upgrade the i5-10600K or close background apps to increase FPS.

Hot CPU Temp

CPU peaked at 86°C, thermal throttling detected. Reapply thermal paste, clean dust, or improve case airflow.

Outdated GPU Driver

GPU driver is 6 months old (version 591.86, 2026-01-20). Update to the latest driver for bug fixes, game optimizations, and potential FPS improvements.

FPS Limit 349

Max FPS reached 343 of 349 cap. Remove the 349 FPS limit in Counter-Strike 2 settings to increase FPS.
