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 208 FPS and the 1% low is 109 FPS. A small gap between average and 1% low means consistent frame delivery with minimal stuttering.

Tips & Tricks4

Good 1% Lows

1% low FPS drops to 109 FPS, frame drops below 144Hz cause visible stuttering. Peak RAM usage at 100% is the bottleneck.

Critical RAM Usage

RAM usage peaked at 100% of 16 GB. Close background apps to free up memory, or upgrade to more RAM.

Critical VRAM Usage

GPU VRAM usage averaged 7.0 of 8 GB (peaked at 94%). Lower graphics settings or resolution to avoid stutters from VRAM pressure.

FPS Limit 1000

FPS was capped to 1000 but it was not reached. Remove the FPS limit in Counter-Strike 2 settings for reliable data.
