From what the FPS sags in tanks. Increasing fps in world of tanks

There are many ways to improve the performance of games on not the weakest computer. Next, we will look at them in order from simple to complex and tell you what to do if World of Tanks slows down.

A simple brake solution in World of Tanks

1. Download and run the world famous CCleaner(download from a direct link) is a program that will clean your computer of unnecessary garbage, as a result of which the system will work faster after the first reboot;
2. Update all drivers in the system using the program Driver Updater(download via direct link) - it will scan your computer and update all drivers to current version in 5 minutes;
3. Install the program WinOptimizer(download from a direct link) and turn on the game mode in it, which will end useless background processes during game launch and increase performance in the game.

Free up disk space

Before proceeding to active actions, you need to make sure that the computer has at least 10-15 GB of free space on the hard drive on which the operating system is installed.

This is usually the "C" drive. This minimum margin is necessary so that the system can create temporary World of Tanks file storages, caches, and so on without any problems.

And make sure you have enough space on your hard drive for the game to work properly.

Disable unnecessary programs

Each program that is running in the OS takes up a certain percentage of RAM and loads the processor. It is easy to verify this, just open the task manager using the Ctrl + Alt + Del keyboard shortcut:

If the computer does not have the most powerful processor installed, and the RAM is less than 8-16 GB, then before the launch of World of Tanks you need to disable unnecessary programs. For example, Skype, Discord, Telegram, Google Chrome and so on.

Disable overlays

We are talking about those programs that are able to display their interface on top of the game. Often there are such on the computer - Fraps, Steam, Origin and so on. Even when the overlay is hidden, it is processed by the computer, reducing FPS in World of Tanks.

Therefore, all overlays must be disabled. Almost always, this can be done in the program settings without having to uninstall it. For example, the Steam overlay is easily disabled through the menu:

Update video card drivers, download drivers for World of Tanks

Regardless of which video card is in the system unit, its drivers must be kept up to date. Therefore, before starting World of Tanks, you should go to the manufacturer's website and check if new drivers have been released:

After installing the driver, you should restart your computer to eliminate the possibility of failures. It is also worth considering that for many older video cards, new drivers are no longer available.

For some games, video card manufacturers release specially optimized drivers. Look for those in the news section about World of Tanks - we usually write about them. You can also look at the website of video card manufacturers.

Change power options

By default, the computer is set to a balanced power mode, which, and in some laptops, in order to increase the operating time, is even set to save energy.

This prevents the computer from reaching its full potential in World of Tanks, so the first step is to open the control panel, which can be found using the search. After you need to do the following:

• Select the view mode "Small Icons";
• Click on "Power";
• On the screen, find the option "Setting the power plan", click on it;
• Click on "Change advanced power settings";
• In the window that opens, find the drop-down list;
• Select "High performance" from the list;
• Click the "Apply" button, then click "OK".

Enable Nvidia performance mode

After installing the Nvidia video card driver, you can speed up World of Tanks using the performance mode. This will slightly simplify the graphics in the game, but increase the FPS. Please note that this method is only available if you have a graphics card with an Nvidia chip. Here's how to do it:

• In the lower right corner of the screen, in the tray, right-click on the NVIDIA Settings icon;
• In the window that opens on the right, select the "3D Settings" tab;
• Click on the option "Adjust image settings with preview";
• On the right, check the box next to "Custom settings with an emphasis on:";
• Move the "slider", which is below, to the leftmost position "Performance";
• Click the "Apply" button below.

Next, you need to start World of Tanks and make sure that everything is displayed correctly. If there are problems, then instead of "Custom settings with an emphasis on:" select "Settings according to 3D application".

Disable Windows Effects

If World of Tanks does not work in full screen mode, but in a window, including without a frame, then you can increase FPS by turning off Windows effects. To do this, you need to do the following:

• Open "Explorer";
• In the window that opens, go to the "Visual Effects" tab;
• Check the box next to the "Ensure the best performance" option.

If necessary, in the last step, you can select the "Special Effects" option. In this case, you can independently choose which effects to leave and which ones to turn off.

Increase the paging file if there is not enough RAM for World of Tanks

To compensate for the lack of RAM, you can increase the paging file. This will allow the system to store part of the necessary World of Tanks data directly on the hard drive. Here's what to do:

• Open "Explorer";
• Right-click on "This PC" (or "My Computer");
• In the context menu, click on "Properties";
• In the window that opens, on the left, click on "Advanced system settings";
• In the window that opens, go to the "Advanced" tab;
• In the "Performance" section, click on the "Settings ..." button;
• In the window that opens, go to the "Advanced" tab;
• Uncheck the option "Automatically choose the size of the paging file" (if any);
• Check the box next to the "Specify size" option;
• In the text fields "Initial size (MB):" and "Maximum size (MB):" specify in megabytes a value equal to half the amount of RAM.

For example, if a 4 GB “stick” is installed in the system unit, that is, 4192 MB, you need to enter the number 2048 in the fields above. You can make the swap file larger, but this will not give any increase.

It should be understood that the swap file is effective only when the system does not have enough RAM. If the computer has 8-16 GB, then the paging file is practically not used. And when using an SSD drive as a system drive, the presence of a paging file can even slow down the performance of World of Tanks, so you should not thoughtlessly ask great importance paging file.

Worse the graphics even more in World of Tanks ("potato" mode) - turn off anti-aliasing, etc.

If World of Tanks starts, but slows down a lot, then before starting all the procedures, you should reduce the graphics to a minimum through the game settings. If this does not help, then you will have to resort to the help of third-party programs to configure the video card:

• for video cards from Nvidia;
• for AMD video cards.

After downloading the program, run it. In the case of NVIDIA Inspector, you need to run nvidiaProfileInspector.exe, not nvidiaInspector.exe. At the top, in the "Profiles:" line, you can select any game that is supported by Nvidia drivers.

All available settings are listed below. There are a lot of them, but in order to worsen the graphics in the game to "potato", just a few, which are in the "Antialiasing" section, are quite enough.

The biggest performance gain comes from changing these two parameters:

• Texture filtering - LOD bias;
• Antialiasing - Transparency Supersampling.

Each of these settings has different meanings. Some of them can make the picture in World of Tanks indigestible, so you should try different combinations of values ​​that give a more or less tolerable playable picture.

In the case of RadeonMod, everything is the same: you need to find the settings responsible for displaying textures and reduce them until the FPS in the game becomes high enough.

How to overclock a video card for World of Tanks

Everything related to "overclocking" is aimed at increasing performance, but these are quite extensive topics, which are difficult to describe in a nutshell. Plus, it's always a risky business. If so, we have warned you.

To achieve greater value FPS in World of Tanks, first you can try to overclock the video card. The easiest way to do this is to use the built-in software features from the graphics card manufacturer.

For example, some GIGABYTE video cards come with the Graphics Engine program, which has several ready-made overclocking profiles. This allows you to squeeze out 5-10 additional frames per second from the video card.

If there is no program from the manufacturer, then you can always use the universal solution -. This is one of the best programs for overclocking, it has many different settings.

But here you have to configure everything manually. First of all, you should increase the frequency of the video chip itself (“Core Clock”) and the frequency of the video card memory (“Memory Clock”). On the left are base values these options. Temperature and voltage increase are displayed on the right - these characteristics allow you to monitor the "health" of the video card.

As the frequency increases, the video card heats up. If the temperature goes over 85 degrees, then you should increase the fan speed (“Fan Speed”). If the temperature rises to 100 degrees, then overclocking should be stopped immediately, otherwise the chip may melt. Powerful "overclocking" requires water cooling, so you should not increase the frequency by more than 10%.

overclock processor

While the "overclocking" of the video card is quite feasible right in Windows, in order to improve the performance of the processor and thereby increase the performance of World of Tanks, you will have to go into the BIOS.

Gamer "overclocking" of the processor usually involves increasing the processor multiplier (Core Ratio). This can be done not on every processor, but only on where this multiplier is unlocked. Typically, such processors are marked in a special way. For example, Intel uses the 'K' and 'X' markings. That is, for example, the i7-4790 cannot be overclocked using a multiplier, but the i7-4790K can.

But how to find out the exact name of the processor model? The easiest way is to use the program. Having launched it, you need to open the "CPU" tab and look at the very first line - "Name". This is the name of the processor. By the way, in the same place you can see from the multiplier itself. It's in the "Clocks" section, in the "Multiplier" line. If the processor supports "overclocking", then this multiplier can be changed.

To change the Core Ratio, you must first get into the BIOS shell. To do this, you need to press a special key combination during computer startup (before the Windows screen appears).

The combination may vary depending on the motherboard. Often the BIOS can be called up using the "F8" or "Del" key. On the BIOS screen, you need to find the section dedicated to the processor. Here, too, everything is complicated, since the BIOS has a lot of shells. Almost every manufacturer motherboard uses its own, so without knowing English, finding the right place is not so easy.

You need to change the multiplier gradually, increasing it by 2. After each change, you should restart the computer and carefully check the performance and temperature of the processor. If it gets above 80 degrees during the game, then you need to immediately turn off World of Tanks, restart your computer, go into the BIOS and lower the Core Ratio value. Otherwise, the processor may burn out.

Triple buffering- a method of displaying an image in computer graphics to avoid or reduce the number of artifacts. Triple buffering allows for faster image output compared to double buffering.

However, it is worth noting that both of these options should be enabled if you have a sufficiently powerful video card. Do your own tests and see for yourself. I for example left vsync and triple buffer on in all my tests- so my FPS rose, sometimes very significantly (depending on the location).

System and environment

For a comfortable game, it is very important that the game has enough RAM. If you have 2 gigs of RAM or less, I strongly recommend closing ALL programs you don't need, such as ICQ, Skype, background defragmenters, desktop widgets, players (especially iTunes) and other unnecessary software.

Also, some antiviruses and firewalls have a "Game" mode, in which the system will be optimized so that the antivirus does not slow it down.

In general, the goal is to free up as much RAM as possible. You can also enter the task manager with a combination CTRL+Shift+ESC(simultaneously) and see which of the processes are eating more RAM and CPU resources. Just please do not close the processes, the purpose of which you are not sure! This may cause the system to crash.

How I ran FPS tests in World of Tanks

I ran a series of tests measuring FPS with different graphics settings. In addition to the settings of the game itself, I edited the file preferences.xml, and also changed the settings of the video card, which we have already discussed with you above.

Purpose of the test- set the optimal settings to get the maximum FPS in the game World of Tanks. You can also do these tests yourself to set the highest possible graphics settings for a comfortable game, so the article will be quite detailed. I strongly recommend that everyone do these same tests, as everyone has different hardware and the same game settings may not work the same on different computers.

To take FPS readings, I used the program Fraps(fraps.com), which, by the way, can still record video, but we will not need this function for our tasks. Of course, you can be guided by the frame per second counter built into the game, but Fraps has one indisputable advantage.

It's about writing the FPS to a log file, which is very convenient for my test, as it clearly demonstrates the FPS statistics. Writing to the log is done by pressing the hotkey (by default F11), optionally the log can be kept for a limited period of time - I set it to 100 seconds, this is quite enough. In 100 seconds, you can ride a tank to your heart's content, rotate the camera, get involved in a battle, and, in general, do a stress test for a video card. The log is written to two files:

• text, indicating the average, minimum and maximum FPS values;
• a table in csv format (Excel) in which FPS is displayed per second.

Below in the screenshot you will see the Fraps program and its interface. The free version has all the features we need.

To collect FPS statistics, we are just interested in this tab, shown in the picture. Let's take a look at what it all means.

• Line Folder to save benchmarks in- path to the folder where the FPS log (log files) will be saved. For my convenience, I have defined a folder on the desktop to make it easier to find it.
• Benchmark hotkey- the key, when pressed, starts recording FPS readings to the log file.
• Benchmark Settings - data that will be written to the log. We have enough ticks on the FPS.
• Stop benchmark after- if the checkbox is checked, then logging to the log will be terminated after a specified period of time after pressing the hotkey.

I didn't touch the rest of the settings. If you do not want to conduct tests yourself, then you do not need to download Fraps, you can read the article to the end and make the indicated changes in the game and computer settings.

Looking ahead, I want to say that the number of frames per second can vary not only because of the graphics settings, but also because of the card that the great random sent you to. Thus, on desert maps, FPS is usually higher than on urban ones. This is explained by the fact that there are more various objects in the city, such as houses, bridges and other buildings, the drawing of which requires much more video card resources than desert landscapes. Therefore, I tested the same settings several times on different game cards.

FPS testing in World of Tanks

The first test, let's call it "FPS 1" conditionally.

So, Fraps is installed and running, it's time to enter World of Tanks and measure the FPS. For the first test, I chose Autodetect in the graphics settings in the game. The game engine, having requested data on the characteristics of the system, concluded that my laptop would pull:

• improved graphics
• lighting, shadows, medium detail, and average water quality.

Well, it's debatable of course, but let's try to play like that. The battle started, waiting for the 30 second countdown and pressing F11 to start logging the FPS to the log. I skated several fights with these settings and you can see the average test results below:

• Avg: 26.84
• Min: 9
• Max: 43

Avg - average FPS value; min and max I think is clear. It was not very comfortable to play - frequent FPS drawdowns, slowdowns. Because of this, there were several unpleasant plums.

Test two, FPS 2

For this test, I decided to determine the graphics settings in the game myself. I set everything to minimum, except for the draw distance. I will not dwell on this moment for a long time, just take my word for it - draw distance did not affect FPS in any way, so leave it at maximum.

For this test, I set:

• standard graphics;
• everything else is set to a minimum or disabled, except for the draw distance - it is set to the maximum.

Test result:

• Avg: 35.1
• Min: 18
• Max: 62

Well, that's already good! There is an increase, the minimum drawdown has doubled, which was reflected in the gameplay in the fact that there were no strong brakes. The average FPS level increased by 8.26 units, which is also good in principle, but there was no desire to stop there.

Test three, FPS 3

This test turned out to be a little different from the rest, and you will soon understand why. First, I left all the settings as in the second test, but changed the graphics from standard to improved. And what do you think? FPS became slightly better than in the second test (literally by a few units). But, as I said, I did not want to stop there. Still, the developers were right about the new render;)

To further increase the performance of the game, I overclocked my video card. This is also called overclocking. The result made me very happy.

Video card overclocking

Attention! You do all the actions below at your own peril and risk!

"Yes, it's very difficult!"- tell me and you will Not are right. Today it is very easy to overclock a video card and with the presence of a head with brains, and not a hole that you eat into, it is also safe. Before overclocking a video card, you need to prepare your computer.

The most important thing in overclocking a video card is its proper cooling. To measure the temperature of a video card, install some widget on your desktop, for example GPU Meter. In the passive state, the temperature of the video card should be in the range of 50-60 degrees Celsius, and in the active (in the game) no more than 85-90, if higher, you have problems with its cooling.

To cool the video card, you can put an additional cooler if your system unit can accommodate it, or if you have a laptop, you can buy a special stand for it with additional cooling fans. When overheated, it certainly will not melt, but only if your PC has an emergency shutdown (almost all laptops have such a feature).

It would also be a good idea to replace the thermal paste on the video card board and other places if you have never done this before, and you have had a computer for a long time. You can find how to apply thermal paste again in Google, on youtube there are even a lot of videos about this.

As for me, I completely disassembled my laptop in order to clean all the boards from dust and replace the thermal paste. Real hardcore, but the article is not about that, unfortunately. By the way, after assembly, it works fine, I write from it. Can you open your workshop?

Let's assume that you are now all right with temperature and cooling, so how do you overclock? To do this, you do not need to disassemble anything, just download and install one of the following utilities:

1. Riva Tuner is a utility for overclocking Nvidia based cards. More suitable for professionals, as it has a huge mass of settings. It can be easy to get confused if you don't know what's what.
2. - a very easy to use utility, supports Nvidia and AMD cards, so it will suit almost everyone. You can read about the features and see the list of supported cards, and download the program itself from here (links to the official website of the program).

We start the program. In it, you can control the power of your video card, as well as the frequency of its processor + several other functions. It looks like this:

Unfortunately (or fortunately) on my laptop it is impossible to control the power of the video card, as well as the speed of rotation of its cooler (because it does not have a separate cooler), but you can change the frequency of the processor and memory. Let's not go into too much detail if you're interested - google all the concepts, but at the initial stage I recommend the following (it's safer):

• increase values ​​only core clock And memory clock;
• increase NECESSARILY gradually, by about 5-10%, and constantly monitor the temperature of the video card!
• IN NO EVENT DO NOT IMMEDIATELY SET THE MAXIMUM VALUES! Burn your card, then don't come to me with pretensions.

On the right side of the program shows all the necessary statistics of the video card. What is indicated on the graphs is signed in the program itself, you will understand. After setting the new Core and Memory clock values, you must press the button apply for the changes to take effect. You don't need to restart your computer, the changes happen instantly.

Before running to measure the FPS in the game, I carefully set up the overclocking of the card, choosing a mode in which the card did not heat up above 85 degrees at maximum load. For this, the 3D Mark program was used. Again, I will not delve too deeply into this issue, I will only show the results of my tests:

• without overclocking: 6371 points
• overclocked: 7454 points

Now back to World of Tanks, the third test, aka FPS 3

Having chosen the optimal overclocking mode for the video card, I launched WOT and logged the FPS readings in several battles. Here are the averages:

• Avg: 39.90
• Min: 11
• Max: 82

For the first time in the history of playing World of Tanks, I saw an FPS value of more than 80! Despite the most minimal drawdown of the three tests - 11 FPS, the game was much more comfortable. The tanks are flying!

Comparative analysis

I ended up running three different graphics settings tests on my computer. In each test, I skated at least 10 fights at different locations, and then averaged the data and this is what happened:

FPS test 1: auto-detect graphics settings - improved graphics, lighting, shadows, medium detail, as well as average water quality and effects.

FPS Test 2: Custom setting - standard graphics, everything else off or low except draw distance, which is at maximum.

FPS Test 3: custom setting - improved graphics, all other settings to the very minimum, or turned off completely (effects such as lighting, shadows); draw distance - maximum + overclocking the video card using MSI Afterburner (you can not overclock, everything will still be ok).

Grass and track marks were disabled for all tests.

Test results in graphs and numbers

Graph of FPS changes per second (tests were carried out for 100 seconds). The y-axis is FPS, the x-axis is time:

Average FPS values ​​for three tests:

As a result, I managed to increase the average FPS from 26 to 40 (rounded), which was an increase of about 1.5 times! And the peak value increased from 43 to 82, which is already twice as good.

In custody

If the advice from this article did not help you, then three conclusions follow from here:

1. You did something wrong, you made a mistake somewhere.
2. Nothing will help you because the computer is initially very weak. It is necessary to upgrade (first of all, the processor).
3. Windows is completely screwed up and needs to be reinstalled. I noticed that over time, these tips in the article began to help less even to me, the author of the article. And I have already stopped seeing the target 80 FPS. The solution was to reinstall the system and voila - everything works like clockwork again!

Did this article help you? Leave the answer to this question in the comments. If it helped, give a link to your friends tankers and clanmates.

Thank you all for your attention, in the comments you can also leave your tips for increasing FPS in World of Tanks.

World of Tanks is a multiplayer computer toy that, over the course of several years of its existence, has conquered many hearts of people who are not indifferent to military tank battles. It is at least stupid to talk about what this project is, as you yourself know, since you are interested in answering the question regarding how to increase FPS in World of Tanks! This is what will be discussed, down with senseless ranting ...

1. Install WOT is better just on the same disk where the software is installed, this will allow in-game processes to interact with each other faster, as a result of which there will be less lags.
2. Before starting the game, be sure to switch your antivirus software to game mode, if it is supported, otherwise it is better to disable it altogether for a while.
3. The first step is to take care of turning off all third-party programs that are running at the time the game starts - be it Skype or a browser. Thus, a certain amount of RAM will be released, due to which the FPS will increase (how much depends on the memory absorbed by the disabled programs).
4. If you plan to play from a laptop, do not forget that most of these units have two video cards installed, and therefore, before starting the game, you need to make sure that World of Tanks has a high performance priority (you can do this in the corresponding section "Control Panel").
5. It's no secret that tankers everywhere use various kinds of modifications. So, it will be better if there are fewer such installed mods. Their complete utilization will significantly increase FPS in WoT.

Additional methods to increase FPS in WOT

If the above tips did not help you, or you want to increase your playability even more, then it is recommended to do the following:

1. Update video adapter drivers. This can be done using a specific section in the "PC / laptop control panel".
2. Lower game graphical interpretation settings. You can perform this action directly in the game menu.
3. Clean up PC. If a lot of unnecessary programs and files have accumulated on the computer, they need to be cleaned. The desired is carried out using the CCleaner utility, which must first be installed.
4. Disable unnecessary features. Shadows, grass, tracks from caterpillars - all this, of course, is good, but at the same time it negatively affects the number of displayed frames per second. So it's better to cut them off.
5. Upgrade your computer. This option is most reasonable if you want to maximize increase FPS in World of Tanks. First of all, you should pay attention to the expansion of RAM and video memory.

Taking into account the above tips and methods, you can easily increase the FPS in the game to the desired level. Well, if the desired result is not achieved, then the only way to remedy the situation is to buy a new (more powerful) PC / laptop, and it’s better to take it so that its parameters go with a margin, since updates are constantly coming out under WOT, and thus the game becomes more demanding on the system!

Description

Consider an urgent issue for many gamers - optimizing the world of tanks and raising FPS for weak computers.
Many people know that World of tanks uses only a fraction of the power of your computer. Almost everything depends on the power of the processor. But what should owners of weak computers and laptops do? That's right, optimize the game with mods and programs. In this article we will consider the work of all mods and programs, we will install them. If you have a weak computer, then thanks to this instruction, you can significantly increase the number of frames per second (FPS) and you will be quite comfortable playing. Optimization consists of several stages.

To start install. This is very useful program to turn off unnecessary effects. To install the program, move it to the folder with the game. Then run the WOT RES UNPACK file.

After it finishes its work, run the file.

This program is the most important part of WOT client optimization. It is these textures that are the most difficult to count. We recommend disabling all effects except for the movement of trees and the reflection of clouds, because they do not greatly affect the FPS and do not give any extra load.

It's time to install compressed textures, which are ideal for players who do not have powerful graphics cards. will make the game less beautiful, but you need to understand that beauty requires sacrifice. In our case, this is a sacrifice in the form of good graphics. We recommend installing the 25 percent version. It has the best ratio of quality reduction and FPS increase. Installation may take some time, sometimes quite long.
After textures install mod that. As a result of the work of this mod, the fog will disappear in the game and, when aiming at long distances, you will see the enemy more clearly. And when switching to sniper mode, the freezes that most players complain about will disappear.
The next step is the installation, which is done with only one goal - to maximize the optimization of the game. It's not very pretty, but it's very optimized.
Let's move on to the settings of the game itself. We leave only the visibility range at the maximum. The rest of the parameters are set to a minimum or turned off altogether.

After all these steps, it is recommended to defragment the hard drive.

The computer game World of Tanks requires fairly average performance from your computer, however, older PCs and laptops may not be able to handle the game and show fps below 30 frames per second. In this case, it is better to take action, since complex programs and games on your computer can significantly reduce the life of its components, in extreme cases, completely disable them. To optimize the performance of World of Tanks and make it easier for the video card, as well as increase the fps in the game, you can take the following steps: update all drivers on your computer, especially video card drivers; adjust the graphics card settings, as well as lower the graphics settings in the game itself. This will give you 10-20 fps. You will find detailed instructions in this article.

How to increase fps in World of Tanks: update your drivers

Every manufacturer of discrete graphics cards releases free software for them. The most popular graphics cards are NVIDIA and AMD. If your PC does not have a discrete graphics card and only an integrated one is installed, then you should consider buying a discrete one, since integrated graphics cards are not at all designed for complex tasks, games.

• Open the software for your graphics card. For Nvidia, this is GeForce Experience, the program is distributed free of charge on the company's official website.
• The utility icon is always located in the computer tray, by clicking on it with the right mouse button, you will find the desired tab.

• Go to the "Drivers" section in this program. It will automatically determine which drivers on the device need to be updated and which do not. Download all that will be displayed on this page.
  This will take some time, so please be patient.
• As soon as the program notifies you that all installations are completed, you can close it. Be sure to restart your computer.

How to increase fps in World of Tanks: adjust video card settings

• In addition to special software for the video card, your computer has a separate control panel for it. Find it in the system tray by right-clicking on the graphics card icon.

• First, go to the "Adjust Image Settings" section. Here you can set the priority of the video card: performance or quality.
• By choosing quality, your textures in games will be realistic, believable and smooth. By choosing performance, the characters and textures will become angular, a little hazy, but the computer will be much easier to work with.
• Drag the slider towards performance.

• Now go to another section called "Manage 3D Settings". Open the item "Program settings".

• In the very top line, select the game World of Tanks from the list presented.

• In the second line, set the value to "High Performance NVIDIA Processor".
• Now all processes of this game will access the discrete video card, and not the built-in one, which is not designed for this.

How to increase fps in World of Tanks: graphics settings

A very important stage that must be completed in any new game. You customize the graphics for your computer and its capabilities.

• Log in to your game account through the client.

• In the top left corner you will see a gear icon. Click on it to expand the options.

• In the menu, click "Settings".

In the window that opens, go to the "Graphics" tab. Here you have to do the following:

• Set all parameters to "Low" or "Minimum".
• Set all shadows, reliefs, fog and other effects to Off.

• Then go to advanced settings and follow exactly the same steps: set the minimum values.

• At the very bottom of the window, uncheck the "Dynamic change in the quality of effects" checkbox.

Instructions - How to raise FPS in the game?

Not everyone has the opportunity to have a powerful computer, and those who suffer from low FPS in the game constantly wonder if How to raise FPS in World of Tanks? This article answers this question.

So how do you raise FPS in World of Tanks?

There are several options and we will consider them in detail.

1. Video card drivers

2. Game settings

3. Wot Installation Tweaker

4. Install compressed textures from Animeh

Video card drivers

A short introduction about the video card and drivers, for those who are in the tank. The video card is the board responsible for the performance of the graphics on your computer, the stronger it is, the higher your FPS (Frames per second). For the operation of the video card, there is special software called drivers.

So you need to download latest version drivers. You can find out what video card you have in the computer documentation or in the list of components that are issued upon purchase, or, if the driver for the video card is not installed, by installing the program from the official CPU-Z website (in the block on the right, select the version you need, on English language, under your operating system 32 or 64bit, you can find out by right-clicking on my computer in properties). After installing and running the program, select the “Graphics” tab in it, in it, in the upper field in the “Display Device Selection” or in the “GPU - Name” field, the full name of your video card (video adapter) is written. After finding out what video card you have, download drivers for it from official sites, the links are presented below. After installing the drivers, restart your computer (mandatory).

Game settings

For the most comfortable fps games the game should not fall below 24 frames per second. Therefore, if you are below this indicator, be sure to lower the settings in the game. We recommend for you to lower the settings in this sequence (the article is written under 0.8.3, perhaps the items in the settings have changed, but the principle has not changed). add. effects in sniper mode, grass density, anti-aliasing, caterpillar effects, rendering distance, post-processing, additional. post-processing, shadow quality, improved shadows, water quality, additional quality. effects, tree quality, object detail, texture filtering, texture compression, texture quality, v-sync. Why in that order? Everything is very simple, first we turn off the least necessary settings and settings that greatly reduce FPS, at the end we turn off the most “vital”, i.e. I'd rather play without grass, but at the same time with well-rendered terrain, if the computer allows me. Be sure to remove anti-aliasing, it loads the system at times, and be sure to play in full screen mode, the FPS in it is Higher. your system is not distracted by third-party programs and whole gives all its resources to the game! I think it’s not worth explaining the rest of the parameters, I can only say that it’s better to turn them off in this sequence, believe my rich experience (more than 10 years).

It is also worth noting that if you have little RAM (RAM), turn off all windows except the game, including sometimes programs such as skype (if you do not play through it), because. it uses about 80.000kb of your RAM, you can disable everything in the windows task manager by pressing CTRL + ALT + DELETE (DEL) or by right clicking on the windows bar at the bottom of the screen (usually) on the desktop. In the manager, in the processes tab, you can see what and how much RAM on your computer consumes in kilobytes (kb, 1,000,000 kb = 1 GB).

Installing WoT Tweaker

By installing this program, remove all effects, or almost all, if you do not want to lose some. This software will increase WoT by a few more frames per second (FPS). How to download and install the latest version of WoT Tweaker for the latest update (patch), you can read on our website at this link.

Installation of compressed textures from Animeh

Texture data, this is already one of the extremes of lowering FPS, suitable for those who want to maximize their efficiency with a weak computer. The article is in the process of being finalized, links will come later.

In custody. If All these points did not bring your FPS to the desired level, then you need to look for additional solutions to the problem, which are often discussed on the game forum or near-game software, such as Game Booster, perhaps even reinstall the OS. And I advise you to gather your strength and your means and strengthen your PC with a new video card or RAM, if a laptop, you will have to purchase a new one, do not save on your health, do not spoil your eyesight and do not waste your nerves simply.

Tell friends:

If you have a laptop with two graphics adapters

Many modern laptops have two video adapters on board - an integrated one and a discrete one. By default, graphics are always processed on a low-performance integrated graphics core, so by correctly switching processing to a discrete adapter, you can significantly increase fps and even image quality.

3) Open

The question of how to increase the FPS in World of Tanks most often arises in the hangar after a disgusting battle, when your nerves are tense with anger, and the mouse flies into the wall. We will try to help you set up WoT and PC in such a way as to make the picture smooth, and, as a result, shots are always on target.

A comfortable value is at least 30 frames per second. The higher the FPS value in World of Tanks, the smoother the picture will be, which means you will see someone else's tank in time, shoot at it, and not “into milk”, and you yourself will have time to hide before the enemy attack. Keep in mind that during explosions and skirmishes involving a large number of tanks, the FPS will sag, which means that at moments of inactivity, the figure should be even higher - 50-60 frames per second.

If you are faced with the problem of low FPS, this does not mean that you have no other choice but to throw your old man into the trash and run to buy a newly released fancy iron in order to play World of Tanks comfortably. There are several ways to optimize Tanks and the computer itself in order to enjoy the game without being distracted by all sorts of interference.

Correct settings are the key to success

An effective method to increase FPS in world of tanks is to properly adjust the graphics in the game, which will help compensate weak spots your system. All these settings are very dependent on the specific configuration of your computer, so you need to approach them experimentally.

For some players, turning off the music gives an increase in FPS, and indeed all the sounds in the game. True, this damages the atmosphere of the battle.

Let's consider each menu item separately:

• Texture quality - reduce cost only if you have little video memory
• Lighting quality - the strongest impact on FPS, reduce first
• Shadow quality is the strongest influence on FPS, lower it first
• Grass in sniper mode - affects FPS, should be turned off
• Terrain quality - does not matter in the game, should be reduced to a minimum
• Water quality - well “eats” resources on world maps of tanks with reservoirs
• Decals quality - little effect
• Detailing of objects is also not the most important parameter.
• Foliage transparency - although it has an impact, it also has enough benefits
• Extra quality effects - it's better to turn it off so that you don't get a slideshow in the batch
• Add. effects in sniper mode - even more so
• The amount of vegetation is generally unnecessary “beauty” that reduces FPS
• Post-processing - immediately turn off
• Effects from under the tracks - turn off first
• Tree detail is optional, but has little effect on FPS
• Draw distance - look for the “golden mean”
• Motion blur quality - turn off immediately
• Dynamic change in the quality of effects - if the game is difficult to go on medium or high settings, you can enable graphics for the victim only during difficult moments
• Track tracks - not much effect
• Resolution of 3D rendering - the lower, the better the performance, but it is better not to touch this parameter (the difference in graphics will be very noticeable)
• Dynamic rendering change is the best solution if FPS sags during firefights
• Triple buffering - disabling usually helps, but the effect can vary
• V-sync - turning it off usually helps, but the effect can vary
• Anti-aliasing - a strong effect on FPS, it is better to turn it off or reduce it

Don't Overdo Mods

Many gamers install modpacks for World of Tanks. The main point here is not to overdo it. Install only those mods that you really use and that are really necessary, since many of them are very gluttonous in terms of FPS. Try turning them off one at a time, checking each time for the effect on framerate.

If the resulting effect does not suit you, you can use special compressed textures for World of Tanks. It will help only those who have a small amount of video memory.

Of course, you can forget about a good picture after such settings, but for the sake of performance, you will have to sacrifice something.

Don't Forget About Prevention

This may not have a fundamental impact on FPS, but it can improve overall performance and stability.

• Defragment the disk
• Check your computer with an antivirus,
• Clean up the registry
• Close all unnecessary applications (browser, torrent) before playing.

Update your video card drivers regularly. The quality of its work directly depends on their relevance, because with each update, productivity increases.

You can download drivers for video cards on the official websites of their manufacturers:

Also, don't forget to clean your computer from dust at least once every 3-4 months, which will help reduce the heat of your equipment.

Upgrade as an inevitability

And finally the most effective way, which sooner or later you still have to resort to - this is an upgrade of your computer. At a minimum, you will have to choose a more powerful processor and a more powerful graphics card. This is not the cheapest way to increase FPS, but with the right hardware, you can play Tanks for many years. Recall that you can always find out the system requirements of World of Tanks by looking at the official website of Wargaming.

We hope that with these tips you will be able to optimize the system and increase the performance of Tanks. Experiment wisely, follow the recommendations of the developers, listen to the advice of other players and then a positive result in FPS growth will not be long in coming.

How many FPS do you have in the game? Share your opinion in the comments!

World of Tanks is a very popular game, millions of tankers fight on the battlefield every day. In order to set the maximum settings, you need a powerful computer, which, of course, not everyone has.

Low FPS can be adjusted so that there are no strong lags at minimum settings. In order to achieve optimal values, you must adhere to the points below, but first a little theory.

What is FPS

Frames Per Second (FPS) translated from English means the number of frames per second. The higher this value, the better, the better the picture on the screen. It looks more realistic and smooth. Modern computers, the hardware and software of which is constantly updated, can produce hundreds of FPS even at maximum settings. Outdated computer models are content with lagging average settings at best.

What determines FPS WOT

FPS is a single computer system. If some component of the PC does not provide enough resources, the performance of the computer drops, therefore, the FPS will not be high in such a situation. In order to deal with the FPS, you need to study the computer and identify its weaknesses.

What FPS should be in WoT

A comfortable FPS value is determined by the player himself, however, for the normal more or less non-lag operation of the World of Tanks game, the required value is from 30 frames per second. If the FPS is from 60-120 and above, this is considered high rate, however, as already mentioned, this is available only to powerful computers. If the number of frames per second falls below 30, then the picture quality will turn out to be appropriate: friezes, freezes - unpleasant and inconvenient.

Why FPS sags in World of Tanks

The number of displayed frames per second primarily depends on the power of the device. Influenced by:

• number of processor cores, frequency;
• RAM and speed;
• video card and its speed;
• hard drive, its speed and percentage of occupied space;
• heating level of components;
• general state of the system and more.

It follows from this that the first step is to compare system requirements World of Tanks games and PC power.

For minimum settings, in order to get normal operation at 30 FPS as a result, you need to:

• Processor: 2 cores at 2 GHz or better.
• RAM: 1.5.0.1 GB.
• Video card: 256 MB.
• Free disk space: ~25 GB.

For higher settings, i.e. 60 FPS, 120 and more, you need:

• Processor: 4 cores at 3 GHz.
• RAM: from 4 GB.
• Video card: 2 GB or more.
• Free disk space: ~36 GB.

What to do if the power of a computer or laptop does not give out more than 10-20 FPS, and the device itself does not reach the minimum requirements of the game? Most likely nothing will work. You should pay attention to online games about tanks, including session ones.

The minimum requirements correspond to the hardware of the computer, but the FPS does not reach 30? Please refer to the instructions below.

Setting up World of Tanks to increase FPS

First of all, you need to reduce the graphics settings in the settings of the game itself. Special effects, shadows, realistic structures and so on can take a lot of computer resources. Therefore, for productivity and a comfortable game, it is better to minimize them.

To do this, you need to open the World of Tanks settings window.

• Switch to full screen mode. Windowed mode is often the cause of FPS spikes.
• Reduce screen resolution. It is easier for a device to display information on a small number of pixels. The resolution of 1366x768 is quite suitable for a comfortable game, but, of course, this is not the limit.
• Disable shadows. They greatly affect the performance of the video card.
• Disable vertical sync. This function is responsible for a flexible picture, but for an additional 5-10 frames per second, you can sacrifice this.
• Disable triple buffering. It is effective only when vertical sync is running. If the latter is disabled, then it makes no sense to leave triple buffering enabled.
• Disable anti-aliasing. This parameter contributes to the smoothness of the picture, but with a weak device, in favor of comfort, you can sacrifice beautiful visualization.
• Disable all special effects. Steam, smoke, fire - all this is beautiful, but on powerful PCs. For weak devices, it is better to take care of the comfort of the game without friezes and downloads.
• Reduce the quality of terrain and vegetation. The situation is the same here, good drawing is reflected in performance.
• Disable grass in sniper mode. The point here is not only in FPS, but also in the fact that this parameter affects the game itself, sometimes creating interference when shooting.
• Lower graphics settings to the minimum. This is done in order to reduce the load on the video card.
• Lower the resolution of the 3D render. The depth of the 3D scene depends on this parameter. The smaller it is, the higher the performance of the computer will be in the end.
• Decrease draw distance. The field of view also greatly affects the FPS, the smaller it is, so, accordingly, the computer will process data faster.

After these options are turned off, the picture will become much worse, the smoothness of objects and the drawing of landscapes will disappear, and the small resolution of the game on the big screen does not look presentable, however, in order to get the game without lags and friezes, you need to follow the above points.

How to raise FPS in World of Tanks: setting up and cleaning your computer

A performance increase, although small, can be obtained by optimizing the parameters of the computer or laptop itself.

Clean your PC of junk files

The steps to clear the computer of garbage, "cache", should become a habit, because they must be performed regardless of the games or programs used. In order to clean your computer, there are many different applications and utilities.

For example, a special CCleaner utility is free and one of the most popular today. You can download it on the official website. After a short installation, you need to perform a number of actions:

1. Launch CCleaner.
2. Go to the "Cleaning" section located on the left side of the interface.
3. Click on the "Analyze" button, wait for the scan to finish.
4. Select "Clear".

Registry Fix

The registry stores data that helps the system interact with applications. Errors in the registry slow down the performance of your computer, so you should also follow the instructions below:

1. Launch CCleaner.
2. Select the "Registry" section.
3. Click on the "Search for problems" button.
4. After the scan is complete, select "Fix Selected..."
5. A window will appear where you need to specify the need for a backup.
6. Next, you need to click on the "Fix marked" button.

Transfer game from drive C:/

Very often the computer works slowly with large files due to the fact that they are installed in the local drive C:/. In order to correct the situation, it is not enough just to copy and paste folders from one drive to a drive, for example, D: / or E: /. For this you need:

1. Uninstall World of Tanks game.
2. Once again install Worldof Tanks on another, more spacious, local drive.

Defragment your hard drive

If you often install a lot of games and programs, this can lead to a scatter of applications across different sectors of the hard drive, which is also the reason for the long processing of the request. Defragmentation solves this problem by moving data closer together. For this you need:

1. Open the "My Computer" folder.
2. Right-click on the local drive where the game is installed.
3. Select the "Service" tab.
4. Open the "Optimization and defragmentation" subsection, select "Optimize".
5. In the list, select the desired local disk and click "Analyze".
6. It remains to wait for the completion of the analysis process and, if necessary, click "Optimize".

This manual is relevant for the operating room Windows systems 10. For earlier OS versions, the order may be slightly different.

Update your graphics card drivers

New versions of drivers optimize the operation of the video accelerator, so the FPS in the game will be higher, and good graphics will be more accessible. In order to update the driver, you need to download it from the official website of the video card manufacturer - AMD or Nvidia are the most popular.

Disable all unnecessary background programs

It is necessary to close all unused programs: Skype, Discord, Telegram, Steam, web browsers and so on. You also need to disable autorun of unnecessary programs that, when launched along with the operating system, slow down and slow down the computer boot. In Windows 10, the AutoPlay tab is located in the Task Manager.

Raise process priority

In order for the system to allocate more resources game world of Tanks, while sacrificing other running programs, you must set its priority. You need to right-click on World of Tanks in the Task Manager and select "High priority"

Disable Windows Visual Effects

You can lower the graphics yourself operating system, the window animations will disappear, and the overall look will become worse, while the performance of the computer will increase. For this you need:

1. Right-click on the "My Computer" folder, select "Properties".
2. Then click on "Advanced system settings".
3. A window will open where you need to select the "Advanced" tab.
4. In the "Performance" subsection, click on "Settings".
5. Select "Ensure best performance" and save changes.

What else can be done

• Remove all unnecessary programs, files and folders. The hard drive works faster if it is not overloaded.
• Install WOT on SSD. If you run the game from an external hard drive, then it will work better, and, accordingly, the FPS will increase.
• Hardware overclocking of components. CPU, RAM and the video card can be overclocked. At the same time, the indicators improve, and the heating of the components, and hence the entire computer case, also increases. To do this, you need to clearly understand all the consequences of such actions, including the fleeting wear of the hardware.

Programs and mods

FPS in World of Tanks can be increased with the help of programs and modifications. The most popular software includes:

• CCleaner - removes unnecessary garbage, fixes registry errors and removes programs efficiently without leaving their files on the computer.
• RazerCortex is a program that frees up as many resources as possible when starting a game, making this particular game a priority for the entire system. Performance on weak computers increases by 10-30 FPS. The program allows you not only to improve the quality of the game, but also to record video, stream, perform defragmentation and much more. You can learn more about Razer Cortex on their official website.
• WOTTweaker is a program created specifically for World of Tanks. It allows you to turn off all unnecessary special effects - clouds, explosions, smoke, fire and much more. Significantly increases FPS on weak computers. You can learn more about this program on the developer's forum.

In addition to individual programs, mods with compressed textures allow you to increase the FPS. They improve PC performance by reducing the load on the graphics card.

What to do if nothing helped

If none of the above gave any results, the game is still unplayable on the device and it was not possible to increase the FPS, then the only way out is to switch to another computer game. There are several good options here:

• Try playing War Thunder. This game at minimum settings works much better than World of Tanks. The technology here is varied (including aircraft and ships), and the mechanics are very interesting.
• Try playing World of Tanks Blitz. This is a simplified version of the game, but it certainly cannot be called less interesting. The client is available for both mobile and PC platforms. Good online players and accessibility.
• Choose another tank game for weak computers.
