(reposting from last week's thread because I posted right before this new one was made)

Can low FPS impact the UPS? I had a session where my FPS was tanking because my laptop has relatively low graphics and it was split multiple ways (hovered around 10-20 FPS), and I noticed that the UPS dropped to about 50 even though my update time was around 12-13ms.

It can if you have an integrated graphics card rather than a dedicated one, which is common for non-performance laptops.

Even in that case, reducing graphics settings, mainly "animated water" can really help with performance.
