How to get a better FPS

[Sexmaniac]

Some guys asked me how they could improve their fps, so I made a short manual for it. Maybe you can use it.
I know there are a lot of more options to get a better fps, but these are easy to check.

How to improve your fps and remove lag
When you play MTA It’s imported to have the highest fps (frames per second) as possible. If you have a low fps just take a look at the following options:

To improve the fps you can:

Ingame
1.   Lower your game resolution. 1024x768. You can select this resolution with the MTA settings. First you can try 1024x768 32bit, then 1024x768 16bit.
2.   Start the GTA single player executable and change your graphical details to ‘Low’

Windows
1.   Defragment your hard drive
2.   Be sure not to run more than 1 anti-virus / adware program. If your PC is not a fast machine, be sure not to run Norton antivirus (it lags on older PC’s). A good alternative is Windows Defender (it’s free).
3.   Don’t run (or open) too much programs at the same time. Just close all programs. Don’t forget too close msn, skype and your browser(s).
4.   Take a look at the “add / remove” software list, and remove old software. If you not sure about it, don’t remove it (!) It can be a software driver for your hardware. To be sure, just Google the software name.
5.   Be sure to have enough space on your C: drive. (at least a couple of GB’s)
6.   Be sure to use the latest version of DirectX, free windows software that runs on the background.

Driver
1.   Try to update your video driver.

nVidia (gForce):  http://www.nvidia.com/Download/index.aspx?lang=en-us

Windows installation
If you know how to install a clean copy of Windows, just give it a try. Before you install, just determine which Main board you have (use http://www.piriform.com/speccy), and download the latest drivers for all of your mainboard components. Never use your old driver installation CD’s, but download always the latest drivers.

New hardware
If you can spend some money, just buy a better video card. In most cases you can use a GeForce 210 DDR3 (30 euro) to get a good fps.
