How do I increase FPS?
I want to increase fps bc I get 10-18 fps when I have high graphics and when I have the lowest graphics I get 35-45 fps and in ultra I get 5-15 fps, pls help me get my pc more fps. My PC specs: amd ryzen 3 3250u with amd Radeon Vega 3 graphics. And I need to get more fps bci have an YT channel and need more fps, MORE FPS=MORE SUBS AND VIEWERS.

Turn off SSAO, remove hood mirrors and lower overall graphics quality. Turn down mirror distance and mirror quality too. Your integrated graphics chip is not high end is only suitable for low to medium graphics.

More FPS does not equal more subs and viewers either. Having decent quality content, quality graphics, interacting with those watching, etc. will help.

As an example I have been streaming for well over 3 years. Had a 10 month break when I moved. Had extremely poor and slow internet until recently when I had fiber optic installed less than 2 weeks ago(wasn't available when I first moved to where I am).

I have 1800 subs. Not a lot by any means. I also don't stream for money like other people. I tend to think I create quality content.

I'm starting my channel with 1 sub and 40 viewers in total of my video but I want more fps but with still high graphics

And what graphics settings give me more fps by lowering them? But dosent affect much of the graphics? My goal is to get like 20-30 fps or more.

You need a dedicated graphics card to raise game quality. By what you have stated so far your computer is low end.
The Legend (Banned) May 9, 2022 @ 6:24pm 
Your right the only way to increase is throw the pc into the trash and buy a nvidia one with the best processor.
AyMazingATS May 9, 2022 @ 6:25pm 
You don't need the best processor or the best graphics card.

You're really trying to record video and play such a game on Radeon Vega 3 Graphics and expect it all to be smooth sailing? In your dreams. Get at least a 4gb card. I can play this game smoothly at mostly high settings at 1440p. If I were to start making content on this, I would turn the game down to 1080p in a window to have that smooth framerate. My Graphics card is a RX 550 4Gb in case you are wondering. It get's me by just fine until I can afford to upgrade. Heard GPU prices have been coming down tremendously so get yourself a little upgrade like that card or a better one and maybe consider other component upgrades if you go too high end on the graphics card, can bottleneck a lot. I can record 1080p60fps smoothly, sometimes rarely FPS dips in OBS but that is if I push it and am testing. If you can't afford a GPU even the one I listed which I myself use kill all your game settings except screen resolution, try to run at native. Although knowing Vega 3 Graphics it will chug when you attempt to record it so just get a discrete graphics card if able.

very simple, update or get better hardware.

What graphic type does impact fps alot?
What graphics type (example SMAA, mirror quality, texture quality and shadow texture size ETC.) Causes more impact on fps and you wonder why i need to know, right? Its because i get low fps and i want to increase fps by lowering graphic types that cause a lot of impact to the fps. The FPS goal to get i have is 20-30 at least 20. If someone needs to know my PC specs I will put it here: amd ryzen 3 3250 u with amd Radeon Vega 3

The following should answer your question, as for which particular brand of Antialiasing you use, it's easy. Benchmark, write down results, Benchmark, write down results, rinse repeat for each option; then use the one that gets you the best fps.

Same applies to the other settings. Go through them, adjusting then testing each separately, and go through the list below top to bottom. If that doesn't get you what you want, you need better hardware, plain and simple. Good luck!

"What settings affect FPS the most?
I see some Good answers here:

In Terms of Most demanding:

Ray Tracing
Resolution (8k, 4k 2k is significantly more demanding than 1920x1080, 1280x720)
Tessellation (Hairworks and the like).
Game Physics (like PhysX, Havock, Bullet, etc.) Some games allow a reduction in this which can have a significant effect on Frames.
Antialiasing
Shadow Quality
Anisotropic Filtering (Could be lower than some of the “effects” depending on VRAM impact).
Effects Quality (Depending on API implementation Fog, Particles, etc could be bigger hits.
I also recommend disabling DoF(Depth of Field) and Motion Blur by default.
Texture Quality if you’ve got the VRAM for it it’s not a big hit if you don’t it would be big.

GPU Mostly will determine how much of the above affects your FPS. The CPU is only a minor part of FPS and tends to start being more important the higher you go in FPS so 60 FPS CPU not very important 144FPS somewhat, 240 FPS pretty important 300+ FPS depending on the game, resolution the CPU might be the determining factor if all of the rest of your gear is up to snuff. Now Pretty much a Ryzen 3rd Gen like Ryzen 5 3600 is sufficient for most gaming, want to be at the top the Ryzen 5 5600x is all you’d really need for gaming, want more future proof go with the Ryzen 7 5800x. Intel currently doesn’t have anything out there that really beats the Zen 3…

TL, DR: I hope that helps!"

I'd say SSAO and scaling have a big impact, also mirror settings as well as how many mirrors you have configured on the truck.

SSAO is the one that impacts the most while having very little actual gain.

Probably the best explanation I have heard so far on these forums...well explained

Mirror quality can also be a big factor in this game - basically two images are being rendered at the same time so it can be far more demanding. Reducing that can make a big difference although at worst, you'll notice more pop-in and a far lesser draw distance. Doesn't hamper the driving ability though as you can still see more than enough - it's mainly scenery that comes off worse.
