How do I check if my CPU is bottlenecking my GPU in modern games?

Use FPSBuddy to compare your exact CPU and GPU against community benchmark samples by game, resolution, and preset. Focus on average FPS, 1 percent lows, and the distribution chart to identify CPU-limited scenarios.

How can I improve low 1 percent FPS without replacing my whole PC?

Start with game-specific benchmark data, then use AI tuning recommendations to adjust CPU-bound settings, memory-sensitive options, and VRAM-heavy textures. Validate changes with fresh benchmark submissions.
