Lower FPS than expected? Before buying a new graphics card there is plenty you can optimise. This guide covers steps that actually make a difference.

Steps for higher FPS

Update NVIDIA or AMD drivers to the latest stable release.

Lower resolution or use DLSS/FSR Quality — FPS can jump 30–50% with little visible quality loss.

Close browsers, Discord overlay and recording apps while gaming.
