Telemetry settings allow players to monitor their hardware and network. Switching the FPS counter on shows at how many FPS the game is currently running on your hardware. However, if you have a good graphics card and want to maximize FPS, we recommend optimizing the visuals according to your build.

Telemetry also allows you to see several network and device related options like Server Latency, Packet Loss, VRAM Usage, GPU Temperature, Processor Time, and much more. Switching these features on easily allows players to monitor their hardware's performance in real time.
