FPS is the main indicator of a computer's performance in games and other demanding applications. For a comfortable gaming process, it is necessary to maintain a high level of this parameter.
What is FPS
FPS is an abbreviation of the phrase "Frame Per Second", which translates into Russian as "the number of frames per second." It is not difficult to guess that this value indicates how many frames are displayed on the screen of your personal computer or laptop per unit of time. The approximate FPS level can be determined without any specialized software. This is done in the following way: the smoother and more realistic images are formed in games and demanding graphics applications, the higher the FPS level.
Average FPS
The comfort of the gameplay directly depends on how many frames per second are displayed on the screen, therefore, it is obvious that the more FPS your computer gives out, the better. And of course, the frame rate has limits that are set by the characteristics of your monitor, that is, if the monitor has a maximum frequency of, for example, 75 Hertz, which corresponds to 75 frames per second, and the computer produces 100 FPS, the frames will change on the screen from frequency of 75 pieces per second. In order not to waste your nerves once again and to get exclusively pleasure from the game process, with an average dynamism of the game process, it is necessary that the FPS value does not fall below 30-40 frames.
What does FPS depend on?
FPS directly depends on the components of your personal computer. The main ones are the video card, the speed of the RAM, namely the speed, not the volume, the processor and the chipset of the motherboard. For example, integrated, that is, built-in, graphics video adapters do not allow achieving a high level of FPS, this is due to their technical features, such video cards are suitable only for working with office applications and Internet surfing. Therefore, discrete graphics cards must be used to get smooth and realistic images.
The next link is the processor. A weak or stripped-down processor will prevent your graphics card from running at full capacity. The speed of RAM affects the speed of complex computing processes. If the amount of RAM is insufficient, frequent reloads will occur, for example, when moving through the levels of games. The motherboard chipset provides high-quality communication between the components of your personal computer.
