CPU Bottleneck Detected: Your processor may limit the GPU's potential at these settings.
Understanding FPS and PC Performance
Frames Per Second (FPS) determines how smooth your gameplay feels. Higher FPS values result in less input lag and a more responsive experience, which is critical for competitive shooters and fast-paced action games.
Key Factors Influencing FPS:
- Graphics Processing Unit (GPU): The primary driver of frame rates. More powerful GPUs can render complex scenes faster.
- Central Processing Unit (CPU): Calculates game logic and physics. If the CPU is too slow, it can't feed data to the GPU fast enough, causing a "bottleneck."
- Display Resolution: Increasing resolution (e.g., from 1080p to 4K) requires the GPU to render four times as many pixels, significantly lowering FPS.
- Game Optimization: Different game engines are optimized differently. A "well-optimized" game runs efficiently even on modest hardware.
Performance Benchmarks:
| FPS Range | Experience |
|---|---|
| < 30 FPS | Cinematic but potentially "choppy" for gaming. |
| 30 – 60 FPS | Playable for most casual and single-player titles. |
| 60 – 120 FPS | Smooth gameplay; the standard for modern PC gaming. |
| 144+ FPS | Ultra-smooth; ideal for high-refresh monitors and esports. |
