Improving FPS on SA-MP

In-Game Settings

1. Lower Resolution:
- Reduce the game's resolution to lessen the graphical load on your GPU. Go to Options > Display Setup > Resolution and choose a lower setting.

2. Lower Draw Distance:
- Decrease the draw distance to reduce the amount of rendering required. Go to Options > Display Setup > Draw Distance and move the slider to the left.

3. Lower Visual FX Quality:
- Set the visual FX quality to low. This reduces the detail of visual effects. Go to Options > Display Setup > Visual FX Quality and select Low.

4. Turn Off Anti-Aliasing:
- Disable anti-aliasing to reduce GPU strain. Go to Options > Display Setup > Anti-Aliasing and set it to Off.

System Settings and Optimizations

1. Update Graphics Drivers:
- Ensure that your graphics drivers are up to date. Visit the website of your GPU manufacturer (NVIDIA, AMD, or Intel) and download the latest drivers.

2. Close Background Applications:
- Close unnecessary background applications to free up CPU and RAM resources.

3. Adjust Power Settings:
- Set your computer’s power settings to High Performance to prioritize performance over energy savings. Go to Control Panel > Power Options and select High Performance.

4. Disable Startup Programs:
- Disable unnecessary startup programs that consume resources. Use Task Manager (Ctrl + Shift + Esc) and go to the Startup tab to disable non-essential programs.

Advanced Tweaks

1. Modify stream.ini File:
- Edit the stream.ini file in your GTA directory to adjust streaming settings. Open stream.ini with a text editor and tweak the values to optimize performance. For example, reduce the memory value.

2. Use Low-End PC Mods:
- Install mods specifically designed to optimize GTA for low-end PCs. These mods can reduce textures, remove unnecessary effects, and tweak settings for better performance. Ensure you download mods from reputable sources.

3. Install Game Booster Software:
- Use game booster software to temporarily shut down unnecessary processes and services while playing. Examples include Razer Cortex or Wise Game Booster.

Hardware Upgrades

1. Add More RAM:
- Increasing your system’s RAM can help improve performance, especially if you have less than 4GB. Aim for at least 8GB for a noticeable improvement.

2. Upgrade to an SSD:
- Upgrading from an HDD to an SSD can significantly reduce loading times and improve overall system responsiveness.

Additional Tips

1. Regularly Defragment Hard Drive:
- If you are using an HDD, regularly defragment it to improve data access speeds. Go to Control Panel > Administrative Tools > Defragment and Optimize Drives.

2. Clean Your Computer:
- Physically clean your computer to prevent overheating, which can throttle performance. Ensure good airflow and cooling.
