● GPU Thermal Throttling (87°C peak) ▸ expand
The GPU hit a thermal slowdown condition during gameplay. This can reduce clocks and amplify frame-time spikes.
🧠 Why This Happens
Cooling capacity is being exceeded under sustained load, or airflow/fan behavior is insufficient for the workload.
🛠️ How To Fix
Clean the GPU heatsink and filters, improve case airflow, raise the fan curve, and verify the card is not being choked by dust or restricted intake.
● Frame Pacing Variability (59% 1% low ratio) ▸ expand
Average FPS is acceptable, but 1% lows at 59% of average and smoothness 77/100 indicate occasional hitching.
🧠 Why This Happens
Game-side streaming, shader compilation, or brief resource contention is disturbing frame-time consistency.
🛠️ How To Fix
Use shader precompilation when available, trim background GPU apps, and consider a framerate cap for steadier delivery.

System Performance Timeline — CPU, RAM, Disk & Network

● What This Chart Shows
This timeline tracks system-wide metrics from Windows ETW kernel tracing (not GPU-specific):
CPU % (processor load) · DPC Latency (driver delays) · Memory Faults (RAM/paging) · Context Switches · Disk I/O

Use this chart to identify: CPU bottlenecks, driver latency spikes (DPC), memory pressure, and storage stalls.
Compare with GPU Timeline: If FPS drops here don't match GPU issues above, the bottleneck is your CPU or RAM, not GPU.
How to read: FPS drops that align with CPU/DPC spikes indicate CPU bottleneck. Drops with Memory Faults = RAM issue. Drops with high Disk I/O = asset streaming hitch.
FPS note: This chart uses window-averaged FPS aligned to the snapshot cadence, so it will look smoother/steppier than the FPS & Frame Time Timeline above.

● Correlation Analysis Tips
● FPS drop + CPU spike CPU bottleneck (close background apps)
● FPS drop + DPC spike Driver latency (update drivers)
● FPS drop + Mem Faults RAM exhausted (close Chrome)
● FPS drop + Disk spike Asset streaming (need SSD)

● GPU Diagnostics — Your Graphics Card's Vital Signs

Arbiter is monitoring your GPU: Tracking utilization (is it maxed out?), temperature (thermal throttling?), VRAM usage (out of memory stutters?), and clock speeds (boosting properly?). Problems here directly impact your FPS and frame pacing.
● DirectX Crash Forensics Available: GPU crash analysis (TDR events, VRAM exhaustion, present failures, frame drops) requires --focus-app "application.exe" flag. Run with forensic focus mode to enable DirectX diagnostics (adds 15-30% capture overhead).

Current Configuration

GPU Maximum
PCIe 4.0 (16.0 GT/s)
x16 lanes
Configuration Issues Detected:
● REDUCED LANE WIDTH: GPU capable of x16 running at x8 (50% bandwidth loss)
Likely cause: PCIe lane bifurcation (M.2 drives sharing lanes with GPU slot) or installed in secondary x8 slot
Common culprit: M.2 expansion cards in lower PCIe slots can force GPU lane reduction AND speed downclocking
Check BIOS: Look for 'PCIe Bifurcation', 'M.2 Mode', or 'PCIe Lane Distribution' settings
Note: PCIe 4.0 (16.0 GT/s) x8 = ~8 GB/s — still faster than PCIe 3.0 x16 (15.75 GB/s)
● Recommended Actions:
  • CHECK M.2 CONFIGURATION: Many motherboards share PCIe lanes between GPU and M.2 slots
  • M.2 EXPANSION CARDS: If using M.2 adapter cards in lower PCIe slots, they can cause lane contention AND force entire PCIe bus to downclock
  • SOLUTION: Remove M.2 expansion cards from lower PCIe slots, use only motherboard-integrated M.2 slots when possible
  • In BIOS, check if M.2_1 or M.2_2 slot is stealing 8 lanes from GPU (look for PCIe Bifurcation settings)
  • If GPU is in secondary slot, move to primary PCIe x16 slot (topmost, closest to CPU)
  • Performance impact: Minimal for most games at 1080p/1440p, ~5-10% at 4K with high VRAM usage

🔎 DirectX Graphics Activity — Forensic App Focus Enabled

Forensic Mode Active: DirectX Graphics Kernel (DxgKrnl) events captured for frame-level analysis. Shows Present() calls, frame timing, DWM composition, and per-process GPU usage. Enabled when using --focus-app with benchmark/game.
✅ Gamer Quick Triage (Do These First)
1) FPS shows 0: Present() events were not captured (fix by running as Admin + --focus-app; update to latest build).
2) Stutter / spikes: Close overlays + GPU background apps (Discord/Chrome HW accel/OBS/NVIDIA Overlay).
3) VRAM > 90%: Lower textures first (biggest VRAM win), then resolution; disable RT if enabled.
4) GPU temp > 85°C: Clean dust, improve airflow, set a more aggressive fan curve (throttling = FPS drops).
5) TDR / Present failures: Revert GPU overclocks, verify PSU + PCIe power cables. Advanced / risky: Clean-install driver with DDU only if standard reinstall fails.

📊 DirectX Performance Analysis & Interpretation

Stable Frame Delivery: 3,667 frames presented with 0.00% failure rate. GPU rendering pipeline operating normally.
High GPU Contention: 5,077 context switches (17/sec) - multiple apps competing for GPU. Background apps (Chrome, Discord, OBS) degrading performance.
Perfect VSync Alignment: 1,138 refresh events with 0.00% miss rate - frame delivery synchronized to 60Hz.
High VRAM Usage: Peaked at 9,883 MB (80.4%), averaged 9,609 MB. Approaching capacity limit - reduce texture quality or close background apps.
ℹ️ What These Metrics Mean & How To Improve Them:

• Present() Calls: Frames submitted to GPU. More = higher FPS. Low? Check CPU bottleneck or game settings.
• Context Switches: GPU switching between apps. High (>1000)? Close background apps like Chrome, Discord, OBS.
• DMA Buffers: Command queue latency. Slow (>16ms)? Update GPU drivers, check VRAM usage.
• VSync: Monitor refresh sync. Misses? GPU cannot maintain refresh rate - lower graphics settings or enable G-SYNC/FreeSync.
• TDR: GPU driver crash. Any TDR events? Update drivers immediately, check for overheating, remove GPU overclock.
• DWM: Windows desktop compositor. Frame drops? Disable visual effects in Settings → System → Display → Graphics.
🧪 Data Source: GPU metrics captured via Microsoft-Windows-DxgKrnl ETW provider. For focused app analysis with FPS timeline, use: --focus-app YourApp.exe. System-wide VRAM tracking requires nvidia-smi in PATH (included with NVIDIA drivers).

🩺 GPU Health & Performance Analysis

Comprehensive diagnostics covering thermal state, VRAM allocation, power delivery, driver stability, and performance optimization.
⚠️ WARNING: GPU temperature at 87°C - thermal throttling imminent (clocks reducing to maintain safe temp)
🛠️ Recommended Actions:
  • Thermal Analysis: Current temp 87°C approaching throttle threshold (typically 83-87°C for modern GPUs)
  • Maintenance: Clean GPU fans/heatsink with compressed air, verify case has adequate ventilation (2+ intake fans)
  • Monitoring: Install HWiNFO64 to log 'GPU Temperature' and 'GPU Clock' during gaming - watch for clock speed drops indicating throttling
Results are workload-dependent and not guaranteed. Validate each change with a fresh capture and keep rollback options (restore point/driver rollback) available.
Technical Note: GPU diagnostics captured via NVML (NVIDIA Management Library) - full power, clock, thermal, PCIe, encoder/decoder, and throttle reason telemetry with ultra-low overhead (~0.05% CPU). Correlate GPU activity with ETW CPU/DPC/Power events to identify graphics-induced system-level anomalies.

📊 Frame Delivery Timeline

Temporal Frame Timing Analysis

Temporal analysis of frame timing showing GPU render time, display latency, and frame delivery over the session. Spikes indicate exact stutter moments and bottleneck transitions.

ℹ️ GPU Render Time Not Available
Why GPU render time shows 0: PresentMon's msUntilRenderComplete metric is not populated by all applications/graphics APIs. This field requires specific DirectX APIs that not all engines use.

What this means: Frame time and display latency are still accurate. GPU render time is a subset metric that some games/engines don't expose.

Note: This is a PresentMon limitation, not a capture issue. You're still getting full frame timing analysis from the other metrics.
