What does 1% low FPS mean in Dota 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 35 FPS and the 1% low is 25 FPS. A small gap between average and 1% low means consistent frame delivery with minimal stuttering.

Tips & Tricks4

Low 1% Lows

1% low FPS drops to 25 FPS, frame drops below 240Hz cause visible stuttering. i5-3330S usage at 99% is the bottleneck.

Critical CPU Usage

CPU usage hit 99% while GPU sat at 14%. Your GPU has headroom, upgrade the i5-3330S or close background apps to increase FPS.

Hot CPU Temp

CPU peaked at 85°C, thermal throttling detected. Reapply thermal paste, clean dust, or improve case airflow.

High RAM Usage

RAM usage peaked at 88% of 16 GB. Close background apps to free up memory, or upgrade to more RAM.
