1. Lower the resolution: Lowering the resolution of the game can help improve performance in most cases, as many games will not be able to utilize very high resolutions anyway, and lowering it may help reduce the strain on your computer.
2. Lower graphics settings: Many games allow you to customize individual graphical settings which can make a big difference in performance. Lowering the settings for shadows, anti-aliasing, and other graphical features can help improve game performance.
3. Close unnecessary programs: Ensure that all other programs running in the background are closed while gaming as they can take up resources that the game needs.
4. Update drivers: Ensure that your computer is kept up to date with the latest version of drivers available for your system. This can help keep your computer running smoothly and efficiently.
5. Turn off Visual Effects: Windows machines come with many visual effects enabled by default, such as animation and transitions, which can take up valuable resources. Turning off the extra visual effects can help improve game performance.
