Before explaining how, the author wants to explain what FPS is easily. No FPS First-Person Shooter, FPS this time is an abbreviation of Frames Per Second.

In the world of video games, the screen will display animation per frame. The display speed of the animation is called the Frame Rate.

The more frame rates when running the game, the smoother and smoother the display will be. But, if the frame rate is low, then the display will look broken. Certainly makes it uncomfortable to play.

Moreover, in games First Person Shooter, a lot of frame rates are required to run smoothly. If each frame should be 1-2 pixels different, but because of the low FPS, instead, each frame is 5-7 pixels different. Pretty annoying, right?

You also need to know, FPS can be affected by many things. At least there is RAM, VGA, Processor, and also the screen. That's why every game has requirements to play it.

To make it easier for you to see it, you can open the Task Manager screen. How to open the Task Manager is by pressing Ctrl + Alt + Delete, then select “TaskManager“.

You can see what software is currently running along with its description (CPU, Memory, and GPU). If you recognize the software and feel it is not important, you can click on the name of the software and click EndTask in the lower right corner.
