When we look at graphs for GPU and CPU processors processing power, there is a section where they talk about one percent lows, what is that?
In: 1
Basically your processor will always have some “drops” or low speeds so let’s say your card averages 120fps in any given game, your one percent lows are the singular spiked frame drops of the lowest amount so continuing the example assume you’re comparing your card to another card that also averages 120fps one thing you need to note are the lows if your card averages lows of 60fps, and this other card averages lows of 90fps, this second card is better in this one statistic as in the 1% of time where the card will drop its processor performance to the lowest amount what is that low value.
It’s a good measure of stability and general efficiency to see how well your card is really handling something as all cards can’t 100% maintain perfect performance so we also look to see it’s worst performance
(although it’s not the only measure as you still need to look at other things like power consumption, price, heat output which will correlate to how well you can actually cook the card)
