People recommend boosting graphical settings to their highest levels for FPS issues because it can help the game run more smoothly on powerful hardware. Lowering settings might not always fix problems and could actually cause instability.

Sometimes adding extra work to the GPU after a CPU slowdown can ease issues such as game stuttering.

We clarify the process for those unfamiliar. It involves notifying individuals and explaining the steps in simple terms.

It may seem like a myth, but there could be some truth behind it. I was just exploring to see if there’s any evidence supporting its effectiveness in addressing bottlenecks.

It doesn't. It keeps the frame rate closer to its stable level rather than plummeting in a stutter. You only see a steadier performance—no sudden drops from 60 to 40 FPS, so the stuttering becomes less obvious.

It doesn't address the problem because the bottleneck remains, it's merely attempting to reduce its impact. And this:

It depends on the FPS problems you're facing. If the games are already well optimized for your PC, reaching 60 frames per second won't help much and might even worsen performance. Some titles run poorly even at maximum settings, like hatred—regretting the purchase. To achieve a steady frame rate without stuttering, follow what Yurizaki recommended: prioritize a stable, consistent rate over an unstable one.

Looking at these examples helps clarify how to spot a bottleneck. The issues you described—consistent frame drops or stutters without high system utilization—often point to hardware limitations rather than just software settings. It’s useful to compare performance across different games and conditions, noting which titles consistently struggle. Monitoring tools like NVIDIA Control Panel or V-Sync can reveal if the problem stems from GPU load or display settings. Since you’ve already checked drivers, OS, and settings, consider testing on another machine or using a different graphics card if possible. Keep track of specific scenarios where the lag appears to pinpoint the culprit.

Your processor is consistently operating at full capacity, while the graphics card isn't running at a high percentage—typically under 80%.
