Quite a few people are fans of the Grand Theft Auto series, but not all of them can afford to enjoy the gameplay of the last parts of the game. Currently, there are many ways on the Internet to significantly improve computer performance without lowering the graphics settings of the game itself. This article talks about how to increase FPS in SAMP as efficiently and without extra costs.
A few words about SAMP
SAMP was released on May 10, 2006, although the game itself was released in 2004. The supplement was created in order to attract as much attention as possible to the game itself and the line of games in general. The main goal of the add-on was to bring more life to the almost empty streets of the game. Each person who turned on the SAMP and went to the game server automatically becomes a new cell in society.
The path begins, of course, not with a child, as in other games, but with an unemployed and homeless resident of the big city of San Andreas. The player’s account has literally a couple of hundred dollars, for which he can buy very little food or order one taxi.
In general, speaking generally, this supplement is a kind of simulator of real life, but only in the courtyard of 1980 and crime reigns everywhere. Perhaps not the most favorable conditions for development, but quite interesting and unusual. All these factors attract a new audience, dragging deeper with each second of the gameplay, but another problem arises: not all users have a computer that is powerful enough for optimal playing in SAMP, therefore this article is devoted to how to increase the FPS in SAMP.
Disabling Antivirus
Often users of the Windows operating system install additional antiviruses, although the built-in is quite powerful and is enough even at an advanced level of computer use. Additional antiviruses, as a rule, unnecessarily load the computer system, and if the computer is weak, this is fraught with a rather strong decrease in performance - after that you should not even dream of increasing the FPS.
Of course, you can do without removing the antivirus, but its timely shutdown will help save precious system resources. This guarantees you a significant increase in FPS. It is worth remembering that in some antiviruses there is a “Game Mode” function, which allows you to not only disable the antivirus for a while, but even increase system performance by disabling unnecessary background programs.
This is done as follows (provided that an antivirus is installed on the computer):
- In the bottom panel you need to find the antivirus icon, each one has its own.
- Click on it with the right mouse button.
- Select "Game Mode" or "Temporarily disable antivirus."
Replacing computer components
This method is the most effective, because computer performance and FPS directly depends on the processor, video card, hard drive and RAM. Any replacement of at least one of these components with a newer model is guaranteed to add a couple of FPS. If you replace them all, then the result will be worth the money invested, because we will not talk about 20-30 FPS, but about 100-200 frames per second growth. So, the question of how to increase FPS in SAMP will disappear by itself.
It is not necessary to buy new parts, you can take parts a little better than those that are installed in your system unit. Preliminarily discuss this issue with professionals in your field, because not all computer parts of different manufacturers and models are compatible with each other.
One new video card, for example, in 2012, will cost around 5-6 thousand rubles, but it will help to significantly increase the FPS in the game: you will notice that freezes, lags, brakes and other troubles have disappeared.
How to raise FPS in SAMP without mods if previous methods didn’t help
Perhaps this method is the most radical, but very effective, although not completely. It consists in the fact that you have to forget about a good picture in the game and keep all graphic settings to a minimum. The method is quite controversial: why play the game without graphics? But this judgment is not entirely true, because you can also enjoy the game process itself, despite the fact that the sharp corners of the textures will always prick your eyes.
Lowering the graphics in the SAMP is as follows:
- Go to the game settings.
- In addition to the control settings, sound, etc., you need to find the graphics settings.
- All parameters (up to resolution) should be minimized.
It is also worth remembering that you can also increase FPS by disabling other applications running in parallel with the game - the load on the central processor will decrease and it will be able to give more resources to the game.
Conclusion
We hope that in these simple ways you have found the most suitable way to improve FPS in SAMPA without mods. But it is worth remembering that these methods are short-lived, only replacing computer components with newer ones will provide maximum comfort in the game for many years.
