How to boost FPS on Arsenal server
In this guide, you will find step-by-step instructions on how to boost your FPS and the overall performance on Arsenal server.
You know that feeling when you play Arsenal server, and it feels like something doesn’t quite match up and your FPS are really low? Well, forget that. After following all the steps in this guide, you will finally be able to enjoy super smooth and responsive gameplay with the highest FPS possible.
Arsenal server FPS Boost
Here are some simple tips and settings that can help you maximize your hardware’s potential and increase your FPS in Arsenal server.
Step 1 – Optimize Startup apps and processes.
Stop unused apps from running in the background. Many apps and background services consume valuable resources like RAM, CPU, and GPU, leaving fewer resources to run Arsenal server.
- On the Windows search bar, type “Background Apps“, and click on the first option that will come up.
- Now you should see a list of all background apps. To disable all background Windows apps, toggle off “Let Apps Run in the Background”.
- Next, navigate to “Startup apps”.
- You’ll find a list of your apps that automatically start when your computer boots up.
- You’ll want to get rid of most, if not all, to free up more resources for Arsenal server.
Step 2 – Optimize your GPU
In this step of the guide, we will be discussing how to optimize your graphics card for the best performance in Arsenal server.
This includes adjusting the graphics card settings for both NVIDIA and AMD graphics cards, reinstalling the graphics driver, ensuring that everything is functioning properly, and using MSI Mode to achieve the highest possible frame rate on Arsenal server.
- Go ahead and download the latest driver for your GPU and install it.
Once the GPU driver installation process is completed, move on to the next step.
Make sure your GPU is not overheating before touching any of the settings.
Best AMD Radeon Software settings for Arsenal server
To achieve the best FPS possible in Arsenal server, we need to optimize the Radeon Software graphics settings. You can refer to the photo below for the recommended settings. However, if you want a more detailed guide, you can check out my article on optimizing AMD driver settings.
Here is a quick sum-up of what matters:
- Turn animations and effects off.
- Turn overlays off.
- Almost all settings are turned off and set to performance where applicable.
- Do some tests with the Anti-Lag option. I’ve found out that you shouldn’t be using it on a high-end graphics card, but on older ones, it helps. So take a few minutes and do some tests with it.
- On the resolution settings menu, make sure to choose your screen resolution.
- Set the refresh rate to the highest possible to match your gaming monitor’s refresh rate.
Best NVidia Control Panel settings for Arsenal server
To achieve the best FPS possible in Arsenal server, we need to optimize the NVidia Control Panel settings. You can either copy the graphics settings from the photo below, or if you want a more detailed guide, you can read my guide on how to optimize NVidia driver settings.
Here is a quick sum-up of what matters:
- Almost all settings are turned off and set to performance where applicable.
- Set the refresh rate to the highest possible to match your gaming monitor’s refresh rate.
- On the Advanced Display Settings option, set your resolution to your monitor’s native resolution.
- Choose No Scaling unless you play on stretched resolutions.
- On the Resolution Settings menu, make sure to choose your screen resolution.
Step 4 – Enable Hardware-Accelerated GPU scheduling.
If you are using OBS or Streamlabs to stream Arsenal server, it is advisable not to enable the HAGS (Hardware-accelerated GPU scheduling) setting.
Enabling this setting can lead to lags and micro stutters in your stream and recording. Although you may experience a slightly lower FPS while playing Arsenal server if you don’t enable HAGS, your stream and recording will be smooth and stable.
Turn on HAGS if not streaming to boost FPS and achieve optimal performance in Arsenal server.
Step 5 – Optimize Windows Settings
Xbox Game Bar
- Go to your search bar and type Xbox game bar, click on it, and turn both options OFF.
- Enable Game Mode
- While you are on the Xbox game bar tab, on your left side, you should see Enable Game Mode, click on it, and make sure to enable it.
- Advanced Scaling Options
- Go to Advanced Scaling Options, look for Fix scaling for apps, and toggle it to Disabled. This option doesn’t work, so keep it off.
Step 6 – Optimize BIOS to boost fps on Arsenal server
When it comes to boosting your FPS in Arsenal server, adjusting your BIOS settings is crucial.
One of the first things to check is the BIOS version. It’s worth updating to the latest version since manufacturers provide updates regularly to address issues or enhance performance.
The most effective way to improve performance and fps is to ensure that all RAM modules are functioning at their maximum speed.
Next, take a look at the CPU settings; if they’re set too low, the CPU will be underutilized, leading to reduced performance and lower fps.
CPU power-saving features could also hinder the performance, so that’s worth checking as well.
Below, you can find the best BIOS settings to improve your FPS in Arsenal server.
Optimize AMD system BIOS Settings
- Make sure XMP or DOCP is set to Profile 1 / Enabled.
- Precision Boost Overdrive: Enabled
- Re-size BAR support: Enabled
- Find the options for FAN controls, and if you have a water cooler, make sure to set it to 100% at all times and optimize the rest of the coolers to work at higher speeds to keep temperatures as low as possible.
Optimize Intel system BIOS settings
The Intel settings below can be found under your BIOS’s CPU features/CPU configuration/Overclocking/Ai Tweaker tabs. If it’s your first time entering BIOS, it may take you some time, but I am pretty sure you will find them easily.
- Make sure that all your RAM modules are the same exact model.
- Core Ratio: Set a stable clock ratio for your CPU. (If you don’t know what to do here, do some research on Reddit or forums)
- Ring Ratio: Set a stable ring ratio for your CPU. (If you don’t know what to do here, do some research on Reddit or forums)
- Make sure XMP or DOCP is set to Profile 1 / Enabled.
- Intel SpeedStep: Disabled
- Intel Speed Shift Technology: Disabled
- Intel C-state: disabled
- Turbo Mode: Enabled
- CPU Ratio Offset when running AVX: 0
- Re-Size BAR support: Enabled
- Find the options for FAN controls, and if you have a water cooler, make sure to set it to 100% at all times and optimize the rest of the coolers to work at higher speeds to keep temperatures as low as possible.
Once you are done with all the settings, you can go ahead and save these settings as a profile and then find the option to Save & Exit BIOS.
