The Importance of 1% Lows in Gaming
Ever heard of 1% lows? Let’s dive into what they are and why they matter when talking about FPS.
1% lows refer to the lowest frame rates your system hits, with the bottom 1% of your frames in a game. Imagine your FPS fluctuating — the 1% lows show you the moments when performance dips the most.
Why should you care? Well, while average FPS is important, 1% lows reveal how smooth the gameplay feels during intense moments, like combat or big action scenes. A high average FPS might not mean much if those 1% lows drop significantly.
Low 1% lows can cause stuttering and lag, even with decent average FPS. So, to get the best gaming experience, focus on both your average FPS *and* those 1% lows!”
Now you know! Keep an eye on those 1% lows for a smoother gaming experience!
