Triple buffering- a method of displaying an image in computer graphics to avoid or reduce the number of artifacts. Triple buffering allows for faster image output compared to double buffering.

However, it is worth noting that both of these options should be enabled if you have a sufficiently powerful video card. Do your own tests and see for yourself. I for example left vsync and triple buffer on in all my tests- so my FPS rose, sometimes very significantly (depending on the location).

System and environment

For a comfortable game, it is very important that the game has enough random access memory. If you have 2 gigs of RAM or less, I strongly recommend closing ALL programs you don't need, such as ICQ, Skype, background defragmenters, desktop widgets, players (especially iTunes) and other unnecessary software.

Also, some antiviruses and firewalls have a "Game" mode, in which the system will be optimized so that the antivirus does not slow it down.

In general, the goal is to free up as much RAM as possible. You can also enter the task manager with a combination CTRL+Shift+ESC(simultaneously) and see which of the processes are eating more RAM and CPU resources. Just please do not close the processes, the purpose of which you are not sure! This may cause the system to crash.

How I ran FPS tests in World of Tanks

I ran a series of tests measuring FPS with different graphics settings. In addition to the settings of the game itself, I edited the file preferences.xml, and also changed the settings of the video card, which we have already discussed with you above.

Purpose of the test- set the optimal settings to get the maximum FPS in the game World of Tanks. You can also do these tests yourself to set the highest possible graphics settings for a comfortable game, so the article will be quite detailed. I strongly recommend that everyone do these same tests, as everyone has different hardware and the same game settings may not work the same on different computers.

To take FPS readings, I used the program Fraps(fraps.com), which, by the way, can still record video, but we will not need this function for our tasks. Of course, you can be guided by the frame per second counter built into the game, but Fraps has one indisputable advantage.

We are talking about recording the FPS in a log file, which is very convenient for my test, as it clearly demonstrates the FPS statistics. Writing to the log is done by pressing the hotkey (by default F11), optionally the log can be kept for a limited period of time - I set 100 seconds, this is quite enough. In 100 seconds, you can ride a tank to your heart's content, rotate the camera, engage in battle, and, in general, do a stress test for a video card. The log is written to two files:

• text, indicating the average, minimum and maximum FPS values;
• a table in csv format (Excel) in which FPS is displayed per second.

Below in the screenshot you will see the Fraps program and its interface. Free version has all the functions we need.

To collect FPS statistics, we are just interested in this tab, shown in the picture. Let's take a look at what it all means.

• Line Folder to save benchmarks in- path to the folder where the FPS log (log files) will be saved. For my convenience, I have defined a folder on the desktop to make it easier to find it.
• Benchmark hotkey- the key, when pressed, starts recording FPS readings to the log file.
• Benchmark Settings - data that will be written to the log. We have enough ticks on the FPS.
• Stop benchmark after- if the checkbox is checked, then logging to the log will be terminated after a specified period of time after pressing the hotkey.

I didn't touch the rest of the settings. If you do not want to conduct tests yourself, then you do not need to download Fraps, you can read the article to the end and make the indicated changes in the game and computer settings.

Looking ahead, I want to say that the number of frames per second can vary not only because of the graphics settings, but also because of the card that the great random sent you to. Thus, on desert maps, FPS is usually higher than on urban ones. This is explained by the fact that there are more various objects in the city, such as houses, bridges and other buildings, the rendering of which requires much more video card resources than desert landscapes. Therefore, I tested the same settings several times on different game cards.

FPS testing in World of Tanks

The first test, let's call it "FPS 1" conditionally.

So, Fraps is installed and running, it's time to enter World of Tanks and measure the FPS. For the first test, I chose Autodetect in the graphics settings in the game. The game engine, having requested data on the characteristics of the system, concluded that my laptop would pull:

• improved graphics
• lighting, shadows, medium detail, and average water quality.

Well, it's debatable of course, but let's try to play like that. The battle started, waiting for the 30 second countdown and pressing F11 to start logging the FPS to the log. I skated several fights with these settings and you can see the average test results below:

• Avg: 26.84
• Min: 9
• Max: 43

Avg - average FPS value; min and max I think is clear. It was not very comfortable to play - frequent FPS drawdowns, slowdowns. Because of this, there were several unpleasant plums.

Test two, FPS 2

For this test, I decided to determine the graphics settings in the game myself. I set everything to minimum, except for the draw distance. I will not dwell on this moment for a long time, just take my word for it - draw distance did not affect FPS in any way, so leave it at maximum.

For this test, I set:

• standard graphics;
• everything else is set to a minimum or disabled, except for the draw distance - it is set to the maximum.

Test result:

• Avg: 35.1
• Min: 18
• Max: 62

Well, that's already good! There is an increase, the minimum drawdown has doubled, which was reflected in the gameplay in the fact that there were no strong brakes. The average FPS level increased by 8.26 units, which is also good in principle, but there was no desire to stop there.

Test three, FPS 3

This test turned out to be a little different from the rest, and you will soon understand why. First, I left all the settings as in the second test, but changed the graphics from standard to improved. And what do you think? FPS became slightly better than in the second test (literally by a few units). But, as I said, I did not want to stop there. Still, the developers were right about the new render;)

To further increase the performance of the game, I overclocked my video card. This is also called overclocking. The result made me very happy.

Video card overclocking

Attention! You do all the actions below at your own peril and risk!

"Yes, it's very difficult!"- tell me and you will not are right. Today it is very easy to overclock a video card and with the presence of a head with brains, and not a hole that you eat into, it is also safe. Before overclocking a video card, you need to prepare your computer.

The most important thing in overclocking a video card is its proper cooling. To measure the temperature of a video card, install some widget on your desktop, for example GPU Meter. In the passive state, the temperature of the video card should be in the range of 50-60 degrees Celsius, and in the active state (in the game) no more than 85-90, if higher, you have problems with its cooling.

To cool the video card, you can put an additional cooler if your system unit can accommodate it, or if you have a laptop, you can buy a special stand for it with additional cooling fans. When overheated, it certainly will not melt, but only if your PC has an emergency shutdown (almost all laptops have such a feature).

It would also be a good idea to replace the thermal paste on the video card board and other places if you have never done this before, and you have had a computer for a long time. You can find how to apply thermal paste again in Google, on youtube there are even a lot of videos about this.

As for me, I completely disassembled my laptop in order to clean all the boards from dust and replace the thermal paste. Real hardcore, but the article is not about that, unfortunately. By the way, after assembly, it works fine, I write from it. Can you open your workshop?

Let's assume that you are now all right with temperature and cooling, so how do you overclock? To do this, you do not need to disassemble anything, just download and install one of the following utilities:

1. Riva Tuner is a utility for overclocking Nvidia based cards. More suitable for professionals, as it has a huge mass of settings. It can be easy to get confused if you don't know what's what.
2. - a very easy to use utility, supports Nvidia and AMD cards, so it will suit almost everyone. You can read about the features and see the list of supported cards, and download the program itself from here (links to the official website of the program).

We start the program. In it, you can control the power of your video card, as well as the frequency of its processor + several other functions. It looks like this:

Unfortunately (or fortunately) on my laptop you cannot control the power of the video card, as well as the speed of rotation of its cooler (because it does not have a separate cooler), but you can change the frequency of the processor and memory. Let's not go into too much detail if you're interested - google all the concepts, but at the initial stage I recommend the following (it's safer):

• increase values ​​only core clock and memory clock;
• increase NECESSARILY gradually, by about 5-10%, and constantly monitor the temperature of the video card!
• IN NO EVENT DO NOT IMMEDIATELY SET THE MAXIMUM VALUES! Burn your card, then don't come to me with pretensions.

On the right side of the program shows all the necessary statistics of the video card. What is indicated on the graphs is signed in the program itself, you will understand. After setting the new Core and Memory clock values, you must press the button apply for the changes to take effect. You don't need to restart your computer, the changes happen instantly.

Before running to measure the FPS in the game, I carefully adjusted the overclocking of the card, choosing a mode in which the card did not heat up above 85 degrees at maximum load. For this, the 3D Mark program was used. Again, I will not delve too deeply into this issue, I will only show the results of my tests:

• without overclocking: 6371 points
• overclocked: 7454 points

Now back to World of Tanks, the third test, aka FPS 3

Having chosen the optimal overclocking mode for the video card, I launched WOT and logged the FPS readings in several battles. Here are the averages:

• Avg: 39.90
• Min: 11
• Max: 82

For the first time in the history of playing World of Tanks, I saw an FPS value of more than 80! Despite the most minimal drawdown of the three tests - 11 FPS, the game was much more comfortable. The tanks are flying!

Comparative analysis

I ended up running three different graphics settings tests on my computer. In each test, I skated at least 10 fights at different locations, and then averaged the data and this is what happened:

FPS test 1: auto-detect graphics settings - improved graphics, lighting, shadows, medium detail, as well as average water quality and effects.

FPS Test 2: Custom setting - standard graphics, everything else off or low except draw distance, which is at maximum.

FPS Test 3: custom setting - improved graphics, all other settings to the very minimum, or turned off completely (effects such as lighting, shadows); draw distance - maximum + overclocking the video card using MSI Afterburner (you can not overclock, everything will still be ok).

Grass and track marks were disabled for all tests.

Test results in graphs and numbers

Graph of FPS changes per second (tests were carried out for 100 seconds). The y-axis is FPS, the x-axis is time:

Average FPS values ​​for three tests:

As a result, I was able to increase the average FPS from 26 to 40 (rounded), which amounted to an increase of about 1.5 times! And the peak value increased from 43 to 82, which is already twice as good.

In custody

If the advice from this article did not help you, then three conclusions follow from here:

1. You did something wrong, you made a mistake somewhere.
2. Nothing will help you because the computer is initially very weak. It is necessary to upgrade (first of all, the processor).
3. Windows is completely screwed up and needs to be reinstalled. I noticed that over time, these tips in the article began to help less even to me, the author of the article. And I have already stopped seeing the target 80 FPS. The solution was to reinstall the system and voila - everything works like clockwork again!

Thank you all for your attention, in the comments you can also leave your tips for increasing FPS in World of Tanks.

The debate about how much is needed for a comfortable game will be endless because everyone has their own understanding of a comfortable game. To some, the slideshow seems quite comfortable for the game. Here is the case that you won’t know until you try. I do not pretend to reveal absolute truths in this article and I will not state anything as an indisputable rule. But we still have to debunk one myth today - is 60 fps comfortable?

A classic gif showing the difference between smooth framerates. But the problem, alas, is that it usually makes no sense to add 120fps to the comparison, because few people need it, because those who know what 120Hz and 100+ fps are do not need it, and those who have 60Hz monitors will not see anything . I will explain, look at what jerks you notice between 60 and 24 frames, the difference between 150 and 60 is approximately the same.

I personally had a 60Hz monitor, I also had a square monitor with a 75Hz refresh rate, and now I have a 144Hz monitor, which cost me in 2011 or 12 for only 9k rubles. Now, if nothing has changed, then a cheap gaming monitor with 144Hz can be taken for at least 16k rubles. I was definitely lucky with the time of purchase, if I had delayed a year or a year and a half and would have bought for 20. If from myself, then the monitor definitely justifies itself more than completely. It bleeds from the eye very much when working with 60Hz monitors after home monitors from 144. And it is very pleasant to play games when the frame rate in them exceeds 120-150, for example, CSGO, Overwatch, DOOM on the Vulkan API. You will clearly understand how bad the smoothness of the image actually looks and how the game experience suffers from this when playing at low frame rates and refreshing the monitor. Check out this GIF, it clearly shows how high frequency is important for fast and active games. We see that the more active the movement, the more noticeable jerkiness. Therefore, I always try to set up games for FPS, sometimes sacrificing some of the beauty of the games. 60fps is extremely unsuitable for fast online games like shooters or racing or other fast games. At 60 fps you can play a single against a computer, then yes, but in network games, fps is very important and there should be a lot of it, then I will explain why.

And then the owners of 60Hz monitors will say that yes, it is comfortable and we play all games with it and we are comfortable. But the owners of better monitors, for example, 120/144 Hz, will say that 60fps is a joke for chickens. But in fact, chickens laugh at limiting FPS to the values ​​​​of your screen frequency, supposedly more than FPS, anyway, the monitor will not show. There is one saying that applies to frames per second in the same way as to money and fits best - The bigger, the better. Regardless of the monitor's refresh rate, frames per second should be as much as possible. You can play 300fps on your 60hz monitor - play 300fps, if you limit your framerate to 60fps for example, your graphics card won't get any better. Therefore, we dismiss at least one reason to limit FPS. We go further - the monitor all the same will not show more. Yes, he will not have time to show each rendered frame if there are a lot of them, but we will not suffer from this at all, but on the contrary, we will win. The higher the frame rate (frame rate), the smoother the picture and the more accurate your movements with the mouse or joystick and the better the responsiveness of the gameplay in general. So we get - There is no need to limit the frame rate by your monitor refresh rate. It has been experimentally verified that 60fps at 60Hz looks and plays much worse than 100fps at 60Hz. Let there be as many frames as possible. In addition, in any games there are FPS drawdowns depending on the abundance of what is happening or arrival in a new location, and it is better to draw down from 100 to 70 than from 60 to 30, agree?

In general, the myth that 60fps is a comfortable framerate for games is primarily beneficial hmm .. let's try to think to whom it can be beneficial? That's right, if you guessed it, the developers. The lower FPS they give you as comfortable, the less optimization work they will have to do. The myth about comfortable 60fps is actively supported, including by console players who play at 30fps in general, they say we have 30fps in general and we are fine with them, but 60 is generally bold, but they have a separate story there, they usually play on TVs with a low refresh rate The screen is sometimes generally 50Hz, in addition, the built-in chips in TVs help out there to smooth out sharp pictures. The same old Philips already had the HD Natural Motion function, I'm not talking about modern TVs. But back to our sheep. In fact, it is beneficial for almost everyone to support this myth, from the monitor manufacturer (who do not have to spend money on supporting high screen refresh rates) to developers so that everyone plays at 60fps and on a 60Hz monitor, then you do not have to finish many features and optimize the game so that it gives out great frame rates with the capabilities of iron. Making a port from the console in the conditions that all 144Hz monitors becomes even more difficult, because people will demand that the frame rate be not 60, but for example 100. An excellent example is the NFS Rivals port, they were so too lazy to change anything with the frame rate that the game initially works in 30fps and only, and not so much of the game's users began to resent and ask for at least 60 (although 60 is not enough for racing). By dancing with tambourines and words in the parameters of the shortcut launching the game, it was possible to make the cherished 60. Those who say that 60 fps or less is comfortable, either did not play on a normal monitor with a hundred fps, or are cunning and do not want to admit that they have a bad monitor or iron. In fact, the myth that 60fps is a comfortable framerate sits in the head of almost everyone and, alas, it is very difficult to deal with this. Because frame rates, monitor refresh rates, monitor response lag, vertical sync, pre-prepared frames, etc., etc. are such a complex area that it’s much easier to firmly drive into heads that 60 frames is comfortable and no longer needed, and you can continue to live happily ever after without anything doing. However, gaming monitors are gaining popularity, even such "INCOMPLETE THINGS" as G-Sync and Free-Sync are already appearing, and developers have no choice but to start removing their FPS locks and optimizing games for 100fps. Here 100fps is a comfortable game, even with 60Hz, not to mention 144. Therefore, in 2017, considering 60fps comfortable even with a 60Hz monitor at your disposal is not very modern. In fact, 60fps has never been comfortable, just now more and more people are buying games in which either Gsync or just 120Hz and playing games where 60fps lock for example or lower is simply disgusting. Therefore, I would divide popular frame rates into the following categories:

30fps - no good at all, slideshow, bad gaming experience

60 frames per second - tolerable minimum, average image smoothness, average gaming experience

100+ frames per second - a comfortable frame rate for modern gaming, good picture smoothness and a pleasant gaming experience.

Many computer owners are faced with a problem when their favorite game world of Tanks is experiencing frame drops. Many people immediately start trying to uninstall and reinstall the game, but this does not change the result, and the game still continues to slow down. Now we will try to find out why low fps in World of Tanks.

The first reason is probably outdated video card drivers that need to be updated

Refer to the official website of your Intel, AMD, NVIDIA video adapter and download new version drivers, install them and try launching the game again.

Low FPS is most often observed on computers with a built-in graphics adapter, although World of Tanks is designed to work with integrated Intel or AMD video cards, you should remember that they “eat up” part of the RAM for graphics needs. If you have, say, only 2 GB of RAM, and 40-50% is allocated to graphics, this will cause a decrease in frames per second. To do this, in the graphics adapter utility, move the slider to

"Performance" - this should reduce the amount of graphic memory, and increase the RAM for the game

Large frame drop occurs in laptops with a combined discrete video adapter. Thus, for the Windows operating system, the built-in graphics core is used, and for games, there is a switch between a discrete graphics card for greater performance.

It happens that the game launcher does not have time or ignores such a switch and the game starts on the built-in video core, while in the battle itself the FPS indicators leave much to be desired. To do this, you also need to switch to the maximum performance mode in the settings by disabling the integrated graphics card

Low FPS is observed on extremely outdated graphics adapters. To comfortably play World of Tanks, you need a video adapter with 1 GB of video memory and a 128-bit bus, preferably with fast memory type GDDR5.

If you do not have the opportunity to replace the video card, try to "play around" with the settings to set the graphics to the minimum.

Another reason why low fps in World of Tanks is that some processes may be going on in your system, for example, checking for viruses, and you are playing the game at the same time, this significantly reduces the performance of your PC and “plants” frames.

Unload all unnecessary processes from RAM and do not check for viruses during the game. If it so happens that your computer is infected with viruses, you should carry out a complete cleaning and removal and try to start the game again.

Learn to enjoy in-game performance again

If you love high-end 3D games on your PC, you need better performance. This question implies spending a lot of money on good computer devices, primarily a video card. Can you improve the performance of your computer or laptop without spending a lot of money, or even better without spending anything?

What is fps in games?

The abbreviation stands for “frames per second” and refers to how many frames the video card is capable of displaying every second and / or how many frames your monitor is capable of displaying. The first depends on the processing power of the video card, and the second depends entirely on the refresh rate of the monitor.

In any game FPS defines a similar situation. The higher the FPS, the smoother and more responsive the game will be. On the contrary, a low FPS will make the game appear to be stuttering, freezing, stuttering and making it more difficult and less enjoyable to play. If you're new to gaming, whether it's desktop, console, or both, you're bound to hear or see the acronym "FPS" used in gaming and hardware discussions.

FPS ratings are rounded up to the following:

• 30 is the most common framerate seen in most console games and some low cost PCs. This is also seen as the minimum level for a game to be lag-free and playable, although most people won't notice any stuttering until the FPS drops to or below 20.
• 60 - Often considered the ideal frame rate, 60 FPS is only achievable on consoles in some well-optimized games, while a decent gaming PC will be able to get 60 frames in most games, although AAA games may require a degree of tweaking. This is also the maximum frame rate displayed on regular monitors and TVs.
• 120 - Only achievable on high-end gaming PCs that are connected to monitors with a refresh rate of 144Hz, 120 FPS is noticeably smoother than 60 FPS. Due to high hardware requirements and inevitably high prices, it remains popular only among enthusiast gamers.
• 240 is the peak frame rate you can get today, 240 FPS is only visible on 240Hz monitors, just like 120 FPS is only visible on 144Hz monitors. The difference between 120 FPS and 240 is almost indistinguishable. This, combined with the even higher cost of hardware, makes it obvious why 240fps is only for a small number of gaming enthusiasts.

It is physically impossible to maintain a completely stable framerate and that it will fluctuate no matter how powerful the system you are playing on or how well optimized the game is. In addition, the higher the FPS, the less noticeable these fluctuations will be.

What is the difference between frame rate?

Medium to high screen refresh

Why is high fps important?

Especially in shooters. But it may be more or less than you expect. Some users may not get any improvements at all.

Imagine that you are watching something running at 1 FPS. This means that you will only see one image every second, which is more like a slideshow than a video. Not only does a high frame rate affect the smoothness of the image, but also the visual potential, primarily animation. As long as the game has natural animation, it will display smoothly with high FPS. On older games with coarser animations, the picture may be jerky.

How does high FPS help?

By seeing more frames on the screen, you will be able to react more quickly to any changes that occur. A more responsive gaming environment allows for better real-time observation and analysis.

In some cases, if your online game starts to twitch and the character just gets stuck behind the screen, then the problem may be hardware. There is a malfunction in the router or in your Internet provider.

The higher the FPS, the better?

Most would unanimously agree that the higher the better. But the truth is that sometimes a lower FPS is better in some cases.

Why do you need high fps?

• Smoothness - if the computer is trying to maintain a constant frame rate and thus has frequent FPS drops, it would be more pleasant to limit it to 30. This way you get a smoother image.
• Immersion. Most movies are shot at 24fps, so 30fps can give a game a more cinematic feel. In some older games, or those that don't use motion capture technology, the animation can feel a little too clunky at high frequencies.

Programs to increase fps

This method will squeeze the last out of the video card. Faster and smoother graphics are generally more desirable than the latest graphics tricks. Especially if you play multiplayer online games. The best FPS is 60fps, the highest refresh rate of most laptop screens and monitors. Be patient to complete all optimization items.

The instruction is suitable for increasing the frame rate of a weak computer and laptops with installed operating system Windows XP, Windows 7 - 8.1 or Windows 10

Tweaks for graphics settings

You need to go into the game settings and set the graphics to the minimum.

Graphic setting to a lower quality will give a boost and increase the FPS in the game. Some optimizations are more important than others. Lowering the correct settings will bring you a stable 60 fps without further reduction in graphics quality.

Most likely, you will start with special effects - dynamic shadows, reflections, water quality, motion blur and blooms. Additional exotic effects such as Nvidia PhysX and AMD TressFX should be completely disabled. Also look at reducing the distance and density of the object, pick up settings that are of particular importance in open world games, such as grand theft Auto V and Skyrim.

Screen tearing is possible when video card frame output is out of sync with . When this happens, simply enable V-sync either in the graphics card's control panel or in the game's settings menu.

Most fast way to see a progressive increase in FPS without any investment - just run the game at a lower resolution. If the monitor has a resolution of 1920 x 1080, you can reset it to 1.680 x 1050 or 1.366 x 768 to see some increase in FPS. This will make the graphics less pleasing, and many gamers prefer to return the native resolution to reduce the need for anti-aliasing.

Many computer games, do not have additional visual features, especially if they were ported from game consoles. You can try manually adjusting the 3D settings in Windows using software from the graphics card vendor. There are also free programs like Nvidia GeForce Experience and Razer Cortex. Which offer pre-improved settings to optimize for FPS in popular games.

Installed in-game mods, especially if they bring graphical improvements, can also be the cause of low fps.

Increase fps by closing background apps

Closing background applications through your Windows settings

If possible, always close background operating system applications before starting a game. This will free up the processor cycles of the computer's memory, and you can fully enjoy the accelerated and smooth gameplay. Background mode means often program work, even without a visible window on the desktop. Which adds to the load on the system as a whole. Memory-heavy programs such as iTunes, Google Chrome, and Microsoft Office launch a "helper" application that keeps the program running even after the window is closed. Check your notifications or task manager to find extra software and close it. Harmless programs that come with a mouse or keyboard can slow down your system.

A slight increase in FPS in games is affected by many Windows programs that add an autorun function when they are installed and can constantly work in the background. For Windows 7 and earlier, press the Windows button and "R" at the same time, then type "msconfig" and "enter" to open the configuration window. Click the Startup tab, then disable everything you don't need and reboot. On Windows 8 and later, it's even easier: just press Ctrl + Shift + Esc to open Task Manager and click the Startup tab. If you don't know what an item in the list is, do a web search. It is likely that someone has already asked this question.

Does updating drivers affect fps?

Unupdated drivers have a big impact on fps

Nvidia, like AMD, try to update drivers for their video cards regularly. The latest drivers improve performance, especially for newer games. Find latest version. Make sure the drivers match your OS as well as the specific graphics card model. If the card model is unknown, both manufacturers offer an auto-detect tool to get the correct package.

Fresh drivers can always be found and downloaded from the official website of your video card manufacturer.

If you're using a laptop with integrated Intel graphics, you probably won't see updated drivers. It's worth checking the official website to see if there's anything new.

Sometimes video card manufacturers make mistakes in improving new drivers, which will negatively affect the FPS of games. If you suddenly see frame rate drops or texture errors, try completely uninstalling your graphics driver by downloading more old version and using it instead. Both Nvidia and AMD offer archived versions of their driver packages.

Adjusting the Graphics of a New Video Card

Increasing FPS - requires investment

Is a video card for games expensive?

If you have already chosen a more expensive graphics card, the next FPS advancement is to match the processor and RAM. (Notebook processors are not interchangeable, but most have one DIMM slot for RAM.) A faster processor will increase frame rates, but not as much as a better graphics card. More RAM will allow the computer to manage the operating system and applications more efficiently.

More advanced programs are available to improve graphics and performance. These are video cards, with configurations or Crossfire, or development of cooling systems (More:) CPU and GPU for overclocking. But it's too much. The previous settings should provide more than enough speed boost in games on a weak computer. You get a 60 FPS boost if you play at 1080p quality.

Did you do everything right? Then accelerated graphics and an increased increase in fps (fps) will not take long, both in pre-installed games and in browser ones.

When playing any on-line game, an important parameter is the FPS value, with its low value, the picture of the game starts to update less often, as a result, it becomes uncomfortable to play.

To understand the reasons, you need to correctly understand what FPS is? In general F rames P er S econd - the number of frames per second on the screen. In our case, this is the number of frames in online game- the refresh rate of the picture on the screen, generated by the game itself, depending on the power of the computer. Games of 2 classes: with constant FPS and with variable FPS. Games with a variable FPS value on weak computers start dropping frames, the speed of the online game does not change, but at the same time you see not 20-25 frames per second, but for example 3-8 frames, which is not very pleasant.

Low FPS - the first reason

Often the problem is in the large value of the ping parameter (ping - server response time). This is typical for USB modems from various cellular operators, or when Internet access is via mobile phone when it is used as a modem (essentially the same usb-modem).

Check your ping. Go to speedtest.net and click start testing. At the top above the "speedometer" on the right will be the PING parameter. Well when it is within 20-75 ms. How more value ping, the less FBS, therefore less frames per second - i.e. discomfort while playing.

Not enough FPS - the second reason

If everything is fine in the first case, then do not forget to look at the game's requirements for computer parameters. Perhaps it's just that the game requires too much resources from the computer, which are not enough. For example, a weak processor or a small amount of RAM, and so on.

Solving the problem of low FPS.

In the case of a large ping value (ping) - if you have a usb-modem, it’s unlikely that something can be done, such are their parameters. Connect wired internet, or fiber optic.

If a weak computer does not quite fit the requirements of the game, then change the components to more powerful ones.

If you do not have a usb-modem and access to the Internet is not carried out through a cell phone, but for example, fiber optic or wired Internet (through a home phone) and you have great importance ping, then call the organization (Internet provider) that provides you with Internet access services and explain the situation to them.
