HOW TO? IMPROVE FPS IN POPULAR GAMES WITHOUT UPGRADING HARDWARE

While upgrading hardware is a common solution, several methods can be used to boost FPS in popular games without incurring the cost of new components. Here's how you can optimize your system for better performance.

• ADJUST IN-GAME SETTINGS

Most games offer customizable graphics settings. Lowering options like resolution, texture quality, shadows, anti-aliasing, and post-processing effects can significantly improve FPS. For example, reducing resolution from 4K to 1080p or disabling high-quality shadows can lighten the load on your GPU. Experiment with settings to find a balance between visuals and performance. Many games also have preset options like “Low” or “Performance” modes for quick optimization.
