Any
lover of games, of course, has heard about the term FPS, and there is no lack
of talk about any game except that we mentioned FPS, so what does FPS mean and
what is its importance in games?? Follow the following lines with us to learn
more about the meaning of FPS in games with a simple and uncomplicated
explanation for those who do not know anything about the term before..
What does FPS mean in games??
First,
FPS is an abbreviation of two sentences: The first is First Person Shooter,
which is specific to some games and is not our topic today. As for what we will
talk about, and what interests us more is Frames Per Seconds, which means the
number of frames or images per second.. Forget about this somewhat complicated
meaning and I will simplify the topic for you
First
of all, you must understand that any video you watch is basically a set of
still images gathered together and quickly displayed in a sequence, and we will
show you a simple example
-
Let's say you want to create a video that is only 10 seconds! And you have 200
still images with you to put in the video.. Well, you will mix all the 200
still images together and make a 10-second video, and because the video is only
10 seconds, you will have to make every second of the video display 20 still
images of the one you have (10/200). ) Thus, simply, you will get a rate of 20
fps, that is, 20 images or frames per second
-
Well.. Focus on me more. Let's say that you now have 1000 still images. You
will mix the 1000 still images and group them together to form a 10-second
video. In this case, every second of the video will display 100 still images
(1000/10) until the 10 are completed. seconds and thus you get 100 fps or 100
frames or images per second
Thus,
we can define the FPS as the number of frames or images that are displayed per
second on a TV screen, phone, computer or any other screen.
Watch
this video to know the difference between 60 FPS and 24 FPS
How do I increase the number of frames per second FPS?
-
You will notice many tricks and legends that tell you the methods and programs
that help you to increase your FPS, leave all this nonsense! Frames per second
will only increase the capabilities of your device and the game only, so if you
want to increase the FPS, increase the capabilities of the device, especially
the processor and graphics card, as well as the RAM
-
The frame rate per second also depends on the screen that displays the game or
video, as well as its resolution, the higher it is, the lower the FPS
There
are also games that have a maximum number of frames per second, as an example,
so the standard rate of FPS for a game is 60 frames per second, but you may
find games that have a maximum FPS of 30 frames per second, as well as games up
to 120 frames per second
-
The value of fps varies as we mentioned from one game to another and may differ
more than once in the same game. For example, you may find that the number of
frames per second in a game is in the case of a quiet graphic display and does
not contain many large models, let it be 80 frames, for example, while in In
the same game, you will find that this number has been reduced to 30 frames per
second, when entering a stage with explosions, thick smoke and collisions ..
and this depends on the type of graphic displayed and the extent of its complexity
-
It is assumed that the minimum number of frames suitable for playing any game
without cutting is 25 FPS, and this number may decrease to 23 in some games,
and then you will not notice light chopping in the game, but if it is less than
that, you will often notice noticeable interruption in the game and therefore
you will need to reduce the display quality in order to You increase the number
of frames
Relationship of the number of frames per second (FPS) to the refresh rate of the screen
-
Screen refresh rate is almost similar to the meaning of FPS except that the
graphics card is the one who sends the number of frames per second, this time
the screen refresh rate is the number of images that the screen itself can
display per second and it is measured in hertz
-
Therefore, if we have a computer that displays a game at a frame rate of 70
frames per second and displays it on a screen with a refresh rate of 60 Hz,
this means that the game will be displayed at 60 FPS because it is the maximum
capacity of the screen, while if the FPS of the game is lower, the game will be
displayed in any way Problems
-
Increasing the number of FPS for a game displayed on a screen with a lower
frame rate of images per second, this leads to what is called screen tearing,
which is displaying more than one screenshot or image in one screenshot of the
screen as in the image
How to overcome screen tearing?
You
will need VSYNC technology, which needs a piece to be integrated with the
screen, which comes from Nvidia, and the task of this technology is to force
the graphics card to send a number of frames per second that corresponds to the
refresh rate of the screen, so the screen cap is what the screen can display,
as for the rest of the card’s capacity The screen that has been blocked is used
to increase resolution, draw distance, and other graphic quality settings. The
technology also works on compatibility with the graphics card, which broadcasts
fewer frames than the screen as well. For AMD graphics cards, there is a
technology similar to Nvidia, but not the same quality, which is FreeSync
technology, which is less expensive But it may cause shadows in games
