If you’re a gamer in India, nothing kills the immersion like low frame rates. Smooth gameplay can make the difference between victory and defeat in competitive titles or an enjoyable experience in AAA games. While the idea of “doubling your FPS” sounds ambitious, there are practical tweaks and optimisations that can significantly boost performance on your current setup.

At Digibuggy, we specialise in helping gamers, streamers, and creators optimise their custom PCs for real-world performance in India, whether it’s adjusting software, fine-tuning hardware, or planning upgrades for the future.

Why FPS Optimisation Matters

Frames per second (FPS) is a measure of how many images your PC can render per second in a game. Higher FPS ensures smoother motion, lower input lag, and a more responsive gaming experience. Many gamers overlook small but effective ways to improve FPS, focusing only on GPU upgrades. However, software and system-level optimisations can unlock substantial gains without spending extra.

Additionally, India-specific factors such as high ambient temperatures, power fluctuations, and air-conditioned setups can impact FPS and thermal stability. Optimisations need to account for these realities.

Step 1 – Set Your Game to High Performance

Windows allows you to assign games to a High-Performance mode, ensuring your GPU prioritises the game over other tasks.

How to do it:

1. Press Win + I to open Settings.
    
2. Navigate to System → Display → Graphics.
    
3. Browse and select your game’s .exe file.
    
4. Click Options → High Performance → Save.
    

This step ensures your GPU runs at full power for that game. On mid-to-high-end PCs, you’ll see immediate improvements.

Step 2 – Enable Windows Game Mode

Windows Game Mode optimises system resources for gaming, reducing background interruptions.

How to enable:

1. Go to Settings → Gaming → Game Mode.
    
2. Turn Game Mode On.
    

 Note: Some games already optimised for performance may see minimal gains, but it helps maintain consistent FPS across sessions.

Step 3 – Close Background Apps

Many apps silently consume CPU, RAM, and sometimes GPU resources. Closing unnecessary applications can free up power for your games.

Steps:

1. Press Ctrl + Shift + Esc to open Task Manager.
    
2. End apps like browsers, Discord, or heavy software if not needed while gaming.
    

This simple step can improve FPS by 10–20% on average, especially on mid-range setups.

Step 4 – Adjust In-Game Graphics Settings

Optimizing game settings can significantly improve FPS without major hardware upgrades. Focus on:

• Shadows
   
• Anti-Aliasing
   
• Textures
   
• V-Sync (consider disabling for higher FPS, but note screen tearing risk)
   

 Trade-off: Lowering settings may reduce visual quality, but even minor tweaks can provide smoother gameplay.

Step 5 – Update GPU Drivers

Manufacturers like NVIDIA, AMD, and Intel regularly release updates that optimise performance for new games.

How to update:

1. Visit your GPU’s official site.
    
2. Download the latest drivers.
    
3. Install and restart your PC.
    

 Updated drivers prevent performance drops and improve stability. Digibuggy always recommends maintaining the latest drivers to unlock the full potential of your custom PC.

Step 6 – Optional: Use High-Performance Power Plan

Windows may throttle CPU/GPU to save energy on balanced plans. A high-performance plan ensures maximum resources are available.

How to enable:

1. Go to Control Panel → Power Options.
    
2. Select High Performance.
    

Additional tweaks: Disable Windows background animations and unnecessary visual effects for minor FPS improvements.

Extra Tips From Digibuggy Experts

Our team has optimized over 40,000 PCs across India, combining real-world testing with years of expertise. Here’s what we suggest for maximum FPS:

• Reduce screen resolution in heavy games temporarily for smoother performance.
   
• Limit unnecessary background Windows services.
   
• Use game-specific launch options (Steam, Origin, or Epic Games).
   
• Invest in reliable cooling solutions to prevent thermal throttling in India’s hot climates.

Common FPS Myths and Realistic Expectations

It’s important to set expectations:

• “Doubling FPS” is rarely guaranteed; it depends on your hardware.
   
• Low-end PCs may see 20–50% improvements with software tweaks.
   
• High-end PCs may already be near hardware limits, so gains are smaller.
   
• Avoid third-party “FPS booster” software that promises drastic increases; these can harm your system.
   

India-Specific Optimisations Matter

Many gamers in India face unique challenges:

• Ambient temperatures: High room temperatures can cause GPU/CPU throttling.
   
• Power fluctuations: Frequent voltage dips can reduce performance. A reliable PSU and UPS are essential.
   
• Cooling solutions: Proper airflow ensures consistent FPS during long gaming sessions.
   

Digibuggy takes these conditions into account when advising on performance tweaks or recommending custom PC builds.

FAQs – FPS Boosting Simplified

Q1: Can I double FPS on a low-end PC?
A: Software optimisations can improve FPS, but hardware limits apply. Gains may range from 20–50%.

Q2: Will updating drivers always improve FPS?
A: Updates often prevent performance drops and may offer small FPS boosts.

Q3: Are background apps really affecting performance?
A: Yes. CPU, RAM, and GPU resources used by apps reduce FPS for your game.

Q4: How do I know if my GPU is bottlenecking FPS?
A: Monitor GPU usage via Task Manager or MSI Afterburner. If your GPU is maxed out while CPU usage is low, it’s likely the bottleneck.

Q5: Can Digibuggy help me optimise my current PC?
A: Absolutely. Our custom PC consultation helps identify bottlenecks, tweak settings, and maximise performance.
