What is 99% FPS?

153 views

I installed a shader for Minecraft for the first time and I wanted to check how my computer was handling it, so I opened up NVIDIA’s Performance Overlay to see. It showed the FPS as a stable 59-60, but below it, something called “99% FPS” was swaying between 46 and 51. What does this mean, how does it differ from regular FPS?

It’s a statistics thing. If you place all the FPSs you hit and scale according to how often they appeared, you can cut a line at any point and measure how many times the FPS fell below that line and how many times it went over.

The FPS threshold under which only 1% of the time your PC fell below was that number.
