What is FPS? What is its purpose?
Before delving into the main content of the article, let's explore the term FPS and its standards, shall we?
FPS stands for Frames per Second, meaning the number of frames that can be displayed within one second. The more frames displayed per second, the smoother the image. Additionally, FPS indicates that your computer possesses a powerful graphics card, capable of quickly processing all graphic tasks within a frame per second.
Currently, according to the standards of offline games, the average FPS is 30 FPS, the most common standard is 60 FPS, and the highest level that the human eye can perceive is 120 FPS. For example, in this article, achieving a frame rate of 60 FPS allows for smooth gaming without encountering any frame rate issues.
How to Increase FPS in League of Legends on Windows 10, 8, 7
1. Adjust Settings in LOL
Currently, the minimum system requirements to play League of Legends are as follows:
Minimum Configuration
- Processor speed: 2Ghz
- RAM: 1GB
- Free disk space: 8GB
- Operating system: Windows XP SP3 or later
- DirectX version: 9.0c or higher
Recommended Configuration
- Processor speed: Dual-core 2.4Ghz or Quad-core 3Ghz
- RAM: 2GB for Windows Vista or 4GB for Windows 7
- Free disk space: 12GB
- DirectX support: 9.0c or higher
- Graphics card: Nvidia GeForce 8800/AMD Radeon HD 5670 or equivalent (512 MB VRAM)
- Operating system: Windows Vista or later
Based on the above configuration, you can adjust settings in the Settings section when entering each League of Legends match and press the ESC key.
To ensure stability, always set the frame rate to 60 (FPS 60), as effects during combat can slightly reduce frame rate. You can view your frame rate in the top right corner of the game screen.
2. Upgrade VGA Driver
Upgrading the VGA driver is also crucial with each new game update or sometimes with operating system updates that may cause compatibility issues with the VGA in use. In some cases, the technology in the new version of the VGA will optimize gaming performance, but typically this won't significantly increase FPS in League of Legends on Windows 10, 8, or 7. Sometimes it's only 1 FPS, but for weaker machines, this is essential.
- Currently, there are three main types of VGA drivers on the market that you need to know about. If you're using an Nvidia VGA, learn how to update Nvidia Card here.
- For those using AMD ATI, Nvidia's rival, you can learn how to update ATI VGA here.
- And finally, if neither of the above applies, you should learn how to update Intel VGA here because it's likely the integrated VGA for your machine already.
3. Uninstall Unnecessary Software
Your computer may have many unnecessary software installed, some of which run in the background unnoticed. Installing software consumes disk space, especially on drive C, which can lead to gaming issues. If you don't use certain software, delete it. However, don't uninstall software conventionally as it may not completely remove all associated files. Try uninstalling software using Your Uninstaller, one of the software programs that allows you to uninstall everything on your computer. Specifically, visit the following link to learn how to uninstall software using Your Uninstaller.
4. Use Game Acceleration Software
Using game acceleration software during gameplay is a great solution to increase FPS in League of Legends on Windows 10, 8, 7. However, it is only truly effective when your computer doesn't have too much excess RAM. RAM and CPU usage are also causes of FPS drops during gameplay.
For a more specific approach, try enhancing your gaming experience with Game Booster, one of the leading software programs in the field designed to increase FPS for your computer. Game Booster calculates and eliminates unnecessary tasks and background programs to focus all resources on the game you're playing. However, a word of caution: reading about how to boost gaming performance with Game Booster applies only if you're experiencing heavy RAM and CPU usage and has no effect on your VGA.
5. Disable Background Programs
Another solution to increase FPS in League of Legends on Windows 10, 8, 7 is to disable background programs and applications that launch with Windows. This will reduce the load on your computer, and sometimes you'll find it effective not only in gaming.
Step 1: First, press the Windows + R key combination, then enter msconfig to access the Local Group Policy Editor.
Step 2: If you're using Windows 7 or 8, at this step, simply go to Startup to set programs to disable automatically. However, for Windows 10, you need to additionally click Open Task Manager.
Step 3: Right-click on any service set to Enabled and click Disable, especially those with High Startup impact status, to ensure these processes don't affect your gaming experience, including both speed and bandwidth.
6. Hardware Upgrade
If you've tried everything and still can't increase FPS in League of Legends on Windows 10, 8, 7, it's time to consider upgrading your hardware because there's no other way to help you. Remember that the VGA is the 'heart' if you want to build a gaming-focused PC case. And currently, mid-range cases around 10 million VND can achieve 60 FPS at the highest Full HD settings of today's games.
With the suggestions above, hopefully, they will somewhat help you increase FPS in League of Legends on Windows 10, 8, 7. Helping you play League of Legends smoother and have a better gaming experience. For those using the latest version of Windows 10, it may be more convenient as Windows 10 has Game Mode. When you turn on Game Mode in Windows 10, the system will automatically prioritize most of the system resources and recognize the game you're playing. This is perhaps Microsoft's latest improvement for its gamers, although turning on Game Mode on Windows 10 requires further upgrades and improvements, but for those using Windows 10, this is still a pretty good solution.
