Modern computer games have perhaps the highest demands on computer resources among all applications used in home and office systems. The problem of improving the performance in games can be solved simultaneously in several directions - adjusting and improving hardware, optimizing the operation of software, changing the settings of the game itself.
Instructions
Step 1
Try to choose the best option for the settings using the game itself. Almost all of them have the ability to change the graphics parameters - the degree of texture detail, disabling the reflection of objects on smooth surfaces, drawing distance of the visible game space, screen resolution, etc. The absence of some details after softening these requirements can sometimes not even be noticed on the screen, although the load on the processor and video card will decrease significantly and the "engine" of the game will work in optimal mode.
Step 2
Upgrade your computer hardware. For the speed of data processing in games, the main responsibility is the microprocessor, video card and RAM. Evaluate how radical an update is required for computer hardware to normalize its work in games. It may be sufficient to install additional memory sticks in the computer. This component of all of the above requires the least money, and the most expensive can be a video card. On the other hand, it is she who is able to significantly speed up the work of the graphics system. When replacing a processor, you should pay attention to the possibility of its operation with the motherboard installed in the computer - each of them has a limit of capabilities, so more modern processors may require replacement of it as well.
Step 3
Optimize your operating system settings to disable unnecessary services and free up as much RAM as possible. You can use programs that can do this for you - for example, SpeederXP, SpeedUpMyPC, and other tweakers. In addition, during the game, it is worth closing application programs - all this in a complex can significantly speed up the work of the computer.
Step 4
"Overclock" the processor and RAM if the processor, motherboard, power supply and cooling system used in the computer are ready for it. This operation requires some practice, as it significantly increases the likelihood of damage to expensive computer components.
