High resolutions require your GPU to render more pixels, which can severely strain lower-end hardware. By reducing the resolution from 1920\u00d71080 to 1024\u00d7768 or even 800\u00d7600, you can significantly reduce this burden, often resulting in a noticeable FPS boost\u2014sometimes as much as 30%.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Another effective way to boost FPS is by optimizing your overall system performance. Ensure that your PC\u2019s power settings are set to \u2018High Performance,\u2019 which forces your CPU and GPU to run at their maximum potential.
