How to increase FPS in games
By The workshop team at Datorhjälp Lerum, computer technicians & it specialists · Updated
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.
