Do you have problems with your games recently? Are you one
of those who experience heavy lag and stuttering while gaming? We all want more
FPS(frames per second) in our games, right? Because more FPS means
smooth,stutter-free gaming. Then try these simple tips now and they can take
your gaming experience to a whole new level. Check it out.
1.Closing all background apps
Each and every app that
you open in the background will take some amount of your computer resources. If
you have an opened browser in the background, the games you play will be having
performance issues since browsers are notoriously known for consuming more RAM.
It goes the same for all CPU and GPU intense applications. So it’s important to
make sure that no unnecessary apps are opened.
2.Updating graphics drivers
A graphics driver is the software
that allow your operating system and programs such as games to use your
computer's graphics hardware. This can enhance game performance, because
hardware device manufacturer will update the driver for their device after some
new games are released or if they found a bug in the driver software.
If you are having an AMD graphics card, you
can go to the link provided below:
In case of Nvidia, follow this link:
3.Changing in-game graphics settings
Almost all the modern 'AAA' titles
requires advanced computer hardware. So if your system specs doesn't match
with the recommended requirements of the game, you might want to lower the
graphics settings from ultra to high or medium. Keeping certain graphics
options such as V-Sync, Anti-aliasing, and Anisotropic filtering
disabled can help incrementing FPS since they are more quality-focused features
which needs more computing resources.
4.Making changes to the graphics driver
Both AMD and Nvidia
drivers provide different game-enhancing features. While AMD provides features
such as Radeon Image Sharpening and Radeon Anti-Lag, Nvidia offers NVIDIA ANSEL
and Freestyle. But not all the options are great for all the games. So try
tweaking those and find the optimal combination for your game. Also, make sure that
all the graphics settings for the game are the same in both driver settings and
in-game settings.
5.Disabling antivirus software
Yes, I know you may have
heard about it over a thousand times but it’s still worth considering. Although
this is a good security measure, the 'Real-time scanning' capability which will
scan all the files when the game tries to access it each time can cause the FPS
to drop drastically.
If you are using
Windows defender, you can do the same by following these steps:
Go to
settings>update&security>windows security >virus&threat
protection>manage settings>toggle the button to OFF in Real-Time
Protection section.
6.Hardware overclocking
Your computer’s
CPU/GPU comes from the factory fixed value to run at a certain maximum speed. If you
run your hardware at a higher speed with proper cooling, it should perform fine
without giving you any problems. Increasing
a component’s clock rate causes it to perform more operations per second which
results in improved performance. You can overclock CPU, GPU, and RAM to squeeze
more juice out of your rig. But always make sure that overclocking does not
increase the temperature beyond a certain limit. CPU and RAM overclocking are
usually done in the BIOS settings.
You can try some
GPU overclocking using the MSI Afterburner utility software. Link is provided

7.Using RAZER CORTEX for optimization
RAZER is a company known for
understanding gamers and their needs since 2005. In 2018, they released their new game
optimization tool called RAZOR CORTEX. It is widely accepted among the gaming community for
providing better gaming performance. CORTEX has a wide variety of tuning
options for gamers. Try it now from the link below:
⏩Still not getting
any improvement in FPS? Then it might be the time for upgrading your hardware. A
GPU with more VRAM? A CPU with more cores and higher clock rate? An upgrade from HDD to SSD/M.2 storage? Or More
RAM with higher memory speed? It’s up to
you to decide. But I do recommend upgrading components in the same order as i mentioned above.
