3 Ways to Boost Your FPS NOW! 

Am I gonna need to wrap my ethernet cable around my phone for this

There are countless other graphics settings (like bloom and reflections) that you should try turning off before what they recommend. Higher quality textures will give you better bang for the buck than almost any other setting, as long as you don't over-extend what your GPU's memory can hold. As for anti-aliasing, don't turn it off entirely, but keep it at a very minimal setting; it helps a lot with the quality and you get most of the benefit with the fastest settings.

The tip about lowering textures down is absolutely criminal. Textures are the best bang for your buck for the fps cost per quality increase

"It may look potato, but at least the game play tho" that was both funny and kind of cringe lol

Me who does all those things and still gets 4 fps: "Maybe I need a bit of spending"

Step 1: Lower graphics settings Step 3: Same as step 1

If you really want those extra frames, try playing at 144p

Undervolting alongside OC is also a no-brainer.

What about RGB?

"depending on which gpu you use" i lost it in there

Please dont overclock if you have a gaming laptop though

You forgot making sure your RGB is set to rainbow spectrum cycle. That gives the most FPS.

My pc I used for 13 years had no graphics card, just the built-in ones on the cpu. I could barely run anything, but I remember turning all the setting on rocket league to the minimum, lowering the resolution, and still getting a whopping 12 fps. Pretty proud that I climbed to diamond with it.

Expected him to also add the important step of checking for artifacts with furmark

I always have a rule to never drop texture quality or anti aliasing if i can help it, i always tweak other things because texture clarity is the most important to me

Nice tips! I'll try overclocking my MX250 ultrabook and I'll enable DLSS too, might as well disable RTX!

I'd have to buy a new card to get DLSS though. Then again, I don't have to bother turning RTX off since the card doesn't support it to begin with.

Undervolting would be a good Recommendation

Undervolting can also help

Additionally, you can use overclocking tools to undervolt and reduce temperatures, while boosting performance at the same time since the card is less likely to thermal-throttle.

What I usually do is normally turn shadows to the lowest setting helps allot

This is all great advice but with some horrible misdirection. DLSS and FSR can be used on most if not all games/GPUs. Some have it natively, some you can mod it into (depending on the game engine). Also don’t change core and mem clock at the same time let alone that much. Start with core, increase 10-20 and run Kombustor until it crashes or shows artifacts, then increase mem clock by 10-20 until the same thing happens. THEN decrease by 10-20 respectively and you will have a very stable OC card.

Shadows are always the first graphics effect I turn off for performance. They only look good on the highest settings and most games have enough other lighting effects that you won't see the difference when you're invested in the gameplay. That being said, depth of field and bloom always get turned off by default. Most games way over use them and make it hard to see what you're doing while also impacting performance.

Other tips for more preformance: Close background programs when gaming, monitor temperatures to make sure ur not throttling

All 3 together have now got me from 700 fps average to 1100 fps average Edit: i know i dont need the fps increase but i like seeing 4 digits on my fps. Also i dont know how i have that much fps bc i have a Radeon RX 5600 XT and that is old.

in the case of dlss/fsr, not all games support it, however I use something called lossless scaling off of steam and it has an fsr option

"It might make your game look potato, but at least the game Playdough." I fail to see the improvement.

Msi afterburner also has an OC scan that will OC in about 30m. It is decent. DLSS for sure, but game dependent because of ghosting problems or blurry foliage. Anti-aliesing is always on, so edges aren't rough or glimmers. Shadows and lighting for sure can go down to help the performance, though. My own little take.

Could you guys do a video like this for old cards or even cheap cards for us gamers that just have no budget???? Edit, I just got my hands on a Radeon HD 7570 1gb ddr5 card for my pc for something better than the built in graphics and I also have a Radeon HD 7770 in my other more powerfully pc which has done good for me but I know there r ways to make them run just a little better. I'm broke, like a lot of people r nowadays and just want to at least get a possible helper for those fps hopes!

AMD FSR does not use machine learning.

Thanks man really helped so much really appreciate it love Linus tack tips

would love to see an updated overclocking video

i have lot better results by undervolt my strix3080OC. 1920MHz ALL the time... +more stable clock and frames +less power consumption >no run into power limit +max 74° in a NZXT 510 Flow >no run into temp limit +longer lifetime for GPU maybe linus should make a video about it!?

I want to add checking temps BEFORE trying most other things. It's easy to do, and thermal throttling of performance is real.

RTX + DLSS = Life could be dream

Note from Linus: IS NOT AI, IS MACHINE LEARNING!

Tip: Dlss and fsr actually increases input lag and latency, but if you're getting low fps then you can turn it on if you want to. Hope this tip helped!

Decrease Shadows/Light, Ambient Occlusion, TAA and other extras and it should be fine. Textures doesnt do much, so keep em high 🔥

I like a good undervault with turning the odd setting down like shadows from ultra, keeps the pc running nice and quiet while not losing any frames from stock and saves 50w in game

and dont forget the most important one: clean your fricking computer insides!

for OCing: - max out the Power/Temp Slider - start at +140 on the Core (raise in 20mhz increments until it crashes, then finetune) - start at +1200 on the Memory (raise in 100mhz increments until it crashes, then finetune). (numbers apply to everything NVIDIA thats relatively current gen). For starting numbers feel free to do some google search. However: Keep in mind that Memory OC doesn't bring as much improvement as Core OC, and sometimes a too agressive Mem OC can hurt your Core OC (which should be prioritized). The 10mhz increments given in the video are BS, as for the Memory you'll be sitting for YEARS until you hit max. Make sure to test your OC. If it can do a 3D Mark Run and a 3D Mark Stability Test it's usually fine for 98% of the cases

This is a perfect kind of story from lmg small one minute videos

Make sure you get the official msi afterburner though. There's a lot of mining viruses and stuff bundled out there.

Does Msi afterburner work on dell?

I love how relatable this guy is boosting fps from unplayable rate to a playable rate instead of others that start with an extremely good fps to an ungodly amount of fps

Love this styler it’s sooo cool

This is super helpful

If I had DLSS to turn on, or RTX to turn it off, I wouldn't need extra fps would I?

I love the part where he showed and fsr

If you wana build a pc, always remember: More RGB = more FPS

why would you recommend to lower textures? textures don’t affect FPS, only uses up VRAM, so unless you are VRAM capped, it does absolutely nothing

I recommend increasing by smaller increments when overclocking

forgot the part about stopping msi afterburner from starting with windows while tuning the overclock

You forgot one little itty bitty thing thats important dlss only works for 20 and 30 as well as 40 series video cards

On Linux you can use FSR on *any* Steam game via Proto

You forgot to add "DLSS is supported only on newer nvidia cards but FSR is available for any GPU"

Don't change power limit your PC will go to BSOD and you won't be able to fix it your parts will get damaged

I overclocked my _XFX Merc Black rx6750xt_ to 2823mhz on core, 2312mhz + fast timings on vRAM, a small 1152mV undervolt and +4% on Power Limit (from 230 to 240w tdp). The temps are good as before but without the tweaks i had stock rtx3070 scores on benchmarks and 2080ti level of performance in 1440p@144hz gaming, now i have overclocked 3070 results in benchmarks and 3070ti performance in games 😎 I am already using s.a.m. since June2022 when i dropped this GPU on my r7-5800x build 🥰 Edit: frs2 on Cyberpunk looks better than native and i play at 115+avg fps (without RT) everything on max 👌

In my experience, the biggest performance killer is shadows. They really aren't that important. You almost never notice them. Turn shadows down. It's not worth the performance hit.

and although rare some games that are cpu intensive ex. Star citizen get better performance when general graphics settings are set to very high/high because the higher settings will begin to offload more onto the gpu rather than keep it all on the cpu.

Lossless scaling on steam allows DLSS / frame gen on any game and has 2x or 3x options.

"Three ways most gamers already know about to boost FPS"

Bro thx that was more helpful than every 15+ min video 😅

Also fsr can be used on any gpu

You can enable frame generation with lossless scalling and have stable 60 fps (you need to have stable 30 to do so)

What about resizable bar?

About fsr. Doesn't matter the gpu brand, only if it's supported

Things that effect lighting like ambient occlusion and Shadow settings eat the most fps when dealing with low to mid cards. But yes, MSI Afterburner is a must.

Yeah, overclocking the GPU may also lead to graphics glitches in games without crashing in benchmarks, so look out for that too. I got sick of it, so I stopped overclocking.

Going down one shadow level is usually what I do, in cyberpunk I just lowered the cloud/fog setting

Actual tech tips on Linus Tech Tips. Mind blown

Kenny u know Houdini died taking punches to the stomach. Glad u have gear on

fsr is really noticable with vega 8, because you're already at a low res

On some games, shadows are drawn inefficiently and reducing shadow quality gives a considerable FPS boost without a noticeable visual difference. Unfortunately on other games, low-quality shadows are jaggy and horrible and/or don't help performance at all, so... it's really a case by case thing.

I can ALWAYS tell if a game is using DLSS or FSR. FPS games have crazy motion blur if you have them enabled, especially WZ

How to turn on dlss if it isnt a game setting

For the GPU overclock: the core clock is usually pretty much maxed Out from Stock. The memory clock not so much. Most gpus i overclocked we're running perfectly fine with +700 to +1000 MHz on the memory. Also, I wouldn't recommend overclocking the newer gpus, because they are running close to max performance and drain a huge amount of power and therefore create lots of heat. I am personally running my 1080ti at 75% power and paired with lower voltages through curve editor and a memory oc of +800mhz, i only lose 5% performance while never drawing more then 200 watt (before, it drew about 250w)

My clock settings are different. When I type 50 it changes to whatever it’s set to.

All the games I play except Minecraft bedrock don't support dlss :(

I have 1 way to boost fps on any graphics card, turn off shadows. Works like a charm.

Increments of 50? Good luck finding the best OC

Regarding overclocking though? Some parts are built to be overclocked while others aren't so might wanna do some homework before just deciding to do it. Plus do remember overclocking does put more strain on the part so beware it'll possibly reduce it's lifespan.

I don’t play for performance, I play for experience. Aka, all graphics settings up and turning less important ones down if I have an unstable framerate

You forgot to mention downloading more RAM 😂 And the rhyme at the end was perfect 👌

"DLSS or FSR depending on what GPU you have" watching this on UHD 620:

FSR works just fine on older Nvidia cards that don't support DLSS

You can use fsr on any gpu

Tip: dlss and fsr actually increases latency and input lag, Hopefully this tip was helpful.

Tip number one and it's already wrong, FSR works on both AMD and Nvidia, which is good as my 1080 Ti doesn't support DLSS.

I tried to overclock my GPU once, and my screen started flickering so much that i thought i'm gonna get epilepsy

And turn on 4G decoding in bios, that helped me a lot

FSR works on any GPU (that isn't older than a 10 series) and DLSS requires an RTX GPU so you'd have to spend money to buy an RTX card

Thank you.

Me, who have a crappy notebook even without any discrete video card: Yeah, thank you! So helpful. I want to Di...

Why does nobody mention turning off motion blur tho?

FSR also works on old Nvidia GPUs, that's amazing

Honestly I am ok with lower FPS but extremely detailed quality when I am playing single player non-competitive games. I have been playing God of War in 4k but I am only get 60FPS.

where do i find the setting in my ati video card??

Honestly I don't know why people obsess so much about playing at "max settings". My setup definitely fits in the high end category and I still play at low settings. You will almost always perform better in a game when you have low settings I've noticed this especially in competitive shooters. Having the settings on low can remove or reduce the amount foliage and other random things that could potentially block your line of sight on an enemy. On top of that sometimes the difference between winning and losing a fight boils down to who had the higher FPS and refresh rates.

And you have to remind that people with older gpus most likely dony have never generations of nvidia and amd gpus like rtx cards
