GPU Temp Sensor

GPU temperature reported 1°C, this is a sensor reading failure. Temperature data for this session is unreliable. Try updating GPU drivers or check if monitoring software is conflicting.

Low 1% Lows

1% low FPS drops to 11 FPS, frame drops below 60Hz cause visible stuttering. GTX 960M usage at 94% is the bottleneck.

Critical GPU Usage

GPU usage hit 94% while CPU sat at 56%. Your GTX 960M is the bottleneck, lower graphics settings or resolution to increase FPS.

Critical CPU Temp

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