What are you yapping about? The 1% refers to the low end of framerates, usually when games have lag spikes. This approach makes those spikes less noticeable because the APU power management doesn't get in the way.

If I had to guess this is about the blatantly false title of the article.

I think he's berating the author of the article for using a title that implies that the improvement is to overall frame rates, not 1% lows.

If I understand them correctly, doesn't boosting 1% lows have a bigger impact on the smoothness of the game than the overall? Boosting the high of 60 up to 80 if the lows are around 30 is still going to feel a bit jagged, but boosting that 30 to 40 is going to do a lot more to smooth it out.

I haven't read the article, being perfectly honest, but it targeting 1% lows makes this better, not worse, like OP seems to suggest
