Increasing FPS and Optimizing Game Performance

Introduction

  • Channel: Kazzka
  • Topic: How to increase FPS, reduce lags and freezes
  • Focus: Graphics settings and system updates for different systems (powerful, weak, laptops)

General Recommendations

  • Start with a licensed Windows to avoid unscrupulous builds and activators.
  • Use trusted sources like the Kof Store for license keys.
  • Purchase sets or multiple pieces for better deals.

Graphics Settings

Advanced Settings

  • Visibility: Affects drawing distance of objects. Transition from low to ultra consumes ~1% performance. Recommended: High.
  • Anti-Aliasing: Smooths corners. No significant difference in visual or FPS. Recommended: Ultra.
  • Post-Processing: Quality of effects. Similar to anti-aliasing, no noticeable difference. Recommended: Ultra.
  • Shadows: Detail and drawing range. Highly voracious parameter.
    • Low to medium: ~4% performance loss.
    • Medium: more detailed shadows.
    • High: > 20% performance loss.
    • Ultra: additional 10% performance loss.
    • Recommended: Medium.
  • Global Illumination: Accuracy of illumination at different angles.
    • Low to medium: some performance loss.
    • Medium to high: no significant difference.
    • Ultra: slight performance impact. Recommended: Medium.
  • Reflection: Quality of transparency and reflected light.
    • Low: Minimal impact.
    • High: noticeable performance loss on glossy surfaces. Recommended: High.
  • Texture: Detailing of textures.
    • Ultra recommended for minimal visual difference.
  • Effects: Quality of visual effects slightly affects landscape.
    • Average recommended.
  • Vegetation: Detail and volume of natural environment.
    • Transitions impact ~1% performance.
    • Recommended: Low.
  • Shaders: Realistic shading.
    • High quality recommended.
  • Objects: Density of trees, grass, small objects.
    • Low to medium: ~2% performance loss.
    • High: > 20% performance loss.
    • Ultra: additional 4% performance loss.
    • Recommended: Low.
  • Physics: Affects animations. No significant improvement or performance loss.
    • Recommended: Depends on preference.
  • Motion Blur: Smoother animation but might distract FPS.
    • May cause error. Use cautiously.

Additional Settings

  • Scaling Methods: NVIDIA, AMD, Intel, and Epic Games offer good scaling, except AMD sometimes blurs.
    • NVIDIA's built-in sharpness can be used with DLSS without FPS impact.
  • Field of View: Does not affect performance significantly.
    • Choose a comfortable resolution.
  • Resolution: Lowering resolution can increase frames but is less crucial with image scaling technologies.
  • Ray Tracing: From medium/high quality eats up ~5%, while ultra = ~20% performance loss.

Windows Optimization

Power Settings

  • Use the High Performance power scheme.
  • Option for maximum performance exists to be added or enabled.
  • Adjust Steam settings to simplified mode and disable animations for a cleaner experience.
  • Disable Steam overlay in-game if playing solo.

Graphics Card Optimization

  • NVIDIA:
    • Set anisotropic filtering and vertical sync based on preference.
    • Set power management mode to maximum performance.
    • Adjust texture filtering quality to high performance.
  • AMD:
    • Use specific settings files and disable unnecessary processes for better performance.
    • Perform cleaning to remove unnecessary files.
    • Make registry tweaks for additional performance boosts.

General System Settings

  • Xbox Game Bar: Disable to prevent unnecessary background processes.
  • Kernel Isolation: Disable memory integrity cautiously to improve performance.
  • Background Applications: Minimize for better system responsiveness.
  • Antivirus: Use discretion; your behavior is the best security.

Conclusion

  • Apply these settings to ensure a stable and smooth gaming experience.
  • Check additional resources for further optimizations and support.
