FPS Optimization
Practical explanations designed to help you understand, troubleshoot and safely improve a gaming PC.
Which graphics settings affect FPS most?Resolution, ray tracing, shadows, volumetrics, reflections and some anti-aliasing methods can be expensive, while texture quality often depends more heavily on VRAM capacity.DLSS vs FSR vs XeSSUpscaling technologies render from a lower internal resolution and reconstruct the image, trading some image characteristics for higher performance.Frame generation explainedFrame generation inserts generated frames between traditionally rendered frames to increase displayed frame rate, but it does not replace a strong base frame rate.Ray tracing and gaming performanceRay tracing can improve lighting, reflections and shadows but often increases GPU workload substantially.Average FPS vs 1% lowsAverage FPS describes overall throughput, while 1% lows help reveal the slower frames that influence perceived smoothness.
