Description:
Some people probably already know what FXAA is, and if not, then go ahead and read this article on Habré. I want to present one assembly based on FXAA, it is notable for the fact that in addition to the main anti-aliasing function, several other useful "filters" were stuffed into it, and a graphical interface was also screwed for fine tuning.
The advantage of the FXAA assembly over the better standard 4x MSAA anti-aliasing, or exactly the same FXAA HQ anti-aliasing in the game, is in a much lower requirement for system performance and a complex impact on graphics by different filters that are not in the game settings.
In general, you are free to customize the filters as you like, what looks beautiful on the system of one, it may look bad on the system of another, everything needs to be customized, to apply the changes you need to restart the game. If your hands grow from where you need it, then you can use this utility to improve the graphics in the game;)
After installing the graphics mod, it improves significantly, but the FPS does not drop. I was very surprised after installation. Images become sharper and contours are improved. The difference is immediately visible. Suitable for weak machines.
A little about the filters that you can customize:
Anti Aliasing - Free anti-aliasing, the quality is good, and the requirement is less than 2 MSAA (one requirement for all filters)
- Sharpening - A little sharpening never hurts.
- HDR - Works crooked, looks even worse, I do not advise you to turn it on.
- Bloom - Creates the effect of white luminosity, the sky turns out to be very overexposed, do not turn it on.
- Tone Mapping - You can adjust the gamma and contrast, a useful feature, but capricious.
- TechniСolor - We set up RGB, I didn’t find application in tanks, turn it off.
- Sepia - One of the most interesting settings, a lot of color filters. Filters that can be applied change the picture very cool. I like two, Isabelline makes the picture brighter and more contrast and Desertsand adds saturation.
In the archive you will find 2 versions of the mod:
- New version (many color) + installer - very colorful configuration, suitable for those who like rich colors.
- Old version + installer - the color gamut does not change, the sharpness increases slightly.
Installation:
Works on Windows Vista and above.
Requires .Net Framework 4.5.
- Run ReShade Setup.exe, specify the game's executable file (in this case, WorldOfTanks.exe).
- The installer will automatically detect the render type and install the necessary components.
To uninstall the mod, delete the files that are shown in the Uninstall.png picture.
Today we will talk about the graphics settings for World of Tanks.
We noticed that many people with patch 0.9.0 sank FPS. This article is aimed at providing you with the most comfortable game in the World of Tanks. Go!
What can we say about charts in wot? Our Belarusian developers, of course, are great for trying to make our game more beautiful. But there is a downside to this beauty - low FPS. For those who are not in the know, FPS is the number of frames per second in a particular game. It turns out that the more beautiful the game, the lower the FPS.
Now we'll talk about how you can increase FPS World of Tanks.
1. This is the resolution of the 3D render. This is the overall picture quality you see on your screen. I have a powerful computer and I have this scale at 100%. If you have a weak or average computer, then experiment with this scale. It will certainly affect the smoothness of the picture.
2. This is the screen resolution. Here everything is the same if you have a weak machine, then set the quality lower. Yes, the picture will not be so beautiful, but it will become much more comfortable to play. If the average, then the quality is about 1280 * 720. Well, if you are a happy owner of a powerful machine, put everything on the maximum settings.
3. There is such a myth that if you play in a window, then the FPS is higher. Nothing like this! If you play in a window, then the computer also has to process the desktop. And when playing in full screen mode, we raise FPS world of tanks for 5-10 units.
4. You probably noticed in the game that some barrels, for example, two round tanks on the KV-1. And these tanks or other roundnesses have such ladders, they seem to be square. So, FXAA anti-aliasing smooths out such ladders. If you have an average or weak computer, I recommend disabling this setting.
5. Viewing angle (FoV). The higher this setting, the more things get into the frame. If less, then the camera is closer to the tank and less things get into the frame. Don't bother with this setting, it doesn't decrease FPS. Play with whatever setting suits you.
6. Customizing WoT Graphics was completely different before. Previously, the game loaded, mostly the processor. The developers called this type of load " Standard". And they made the second type, which is called " improved". The meaning of this setting is that the game is evenly distributed on the processor and on the video card. So, decide for yourself. If you have a powerful processor, but a weak video card, then put " Standard". If the characteristics of the video card and processor are the same, put " improved". If you do not know, then experiment with the settings, see how the picture moves on different settings.
7. Texture quality and lighting quality. These settings load your graphics card. If you have it weak, then put it lower. Do you have a good, expensive video card?! Then set these settings higher.
8. Shadow quality. One of the worst enemies of your graphics card. She is responsible for the beauty of your shadows in the game. Everything, in general, as always. Weak, average computer - put it lower or turn it off. Powerful - put on the maximum.
9. Decal quality. This setting is responsible for the traces left by the projectiles. It has almost no effect on FPS increase in World of Tanks. But for an experienced player, it is important to know where the projectile hit, or where the artillery is firing. So, we advise you to leave at least on average.
10. Detailing of objects. She is responsible for drawing some small details at a distance. Strongly affects FPS. With a weak computer, I recommend setting it lower.
11. Extra quality effects. To put it simply, if you raise this setting to Maximum, then smoke will go out at the site of the projectile explosion. If you lower it, then there will be just sparks. I advise you to put it lower, with a weak computer.
12. Graphics settings for World of Tanks- a difficult thing. Add. effects in sniper mode. And I recommend turning off this setting on a weak, medium, and powerful computer. You will ask why? We explain that if you turn it on, then after the shot, the picture will become blurry for about a second. Plus, if your ally shoots next to you, then your picture will “blur” again for a couple of seconds.
13. amount of vegetation. These, my dear tankers, are bushes, foliage, poppy fields. Play around with this setting. Everything will depend on the performance of your computer.
14. Post-processing. This is extra. effects like smoke, dew, sun glare. With a weak computer, feel free to turn it off, you won't lose anything.
15. Effects from under the tracks and tracks from the tracks. The meaning of the first effect is that while driving we see dust clods from under our tracks. The meaning of the second effect, of course, is in the tracks from the caterpillars. It is also recommended to turn it off, with a weak computer.
16. Tree detail. The more right the slider, the more beautiful the trees. But it does not affect the gameplay in any way, so on weak machines we reduce to the left.
17. Render distance. This effect is by no means IT IS FORBIDDEN underestimate! It controls how far you see. For example, markers and the tanks themselves will be visible as far as possible (approximate distance 400-500 m.).
18. Motion blur quality. This effect is taken by developers from many shooters. It's easier to explain it this way. If you sharply turn the tower, then for a split second the picture is blurred. Handsomely? Handsomely! But it interferes with playing, he always set it to a minimum.
So what? We told you about all world of tanks graphics settings that they knew about. I hope our article will help you. Good luck to all! Bye!
The most popular game, "Belarusian miracle", the game of all times and peoples. As soon as they did not call the online game World of Tanks. And there were reasons for that. How could it happen that a game from a little-known Wargaming studio, located in a little-known country, gained wild popularity in a year? Nobody has an answer to this question.
By the way, "Tanks" still holds the Guinness Book of Records as the most successful game that has gained popularity in the shortest period of time. The success of "Tanks" has not yet been able to repeat any game, even from the most famous studios.
However, with each update, it becomes more and more difficult to "roll in tanks" as the system requirements of the game grow. Now, without the correct graphics settings, it is not possible to play normally and "bend over". Therefore, we will try to figure out which graphics settings in World of Tanks are optimal for successful battles.
What you need to know about system requirements
System requirements in "Tanks" are not moderate. In order for the game to function at maximum settings, a very powerful computer is required. And the more powerful, the better. For a comfortable game requires an impressive number of frames per second. Without this, it will not be possible to conduct effective battles.
The video card requirements are even higher. Ideally, the user should have an NVidia 1080. Then we can talk about high-quality and productive graphics. Setting the graphics in World of Tanks can load even a very powerful machine to the fullest.
No less requirements are placed on the processor and RAM. A comfortable game requires at least the latest generation Intel Core i3 and 8 gigabytes of RAM. Without this, the game will terribly slow down. And in "Tanks" a split second is everything. But the optimal graphics settings in World of Tanks allow you to somewhat reduce the load on the processor and RAM. Therefore, it is important to be able to properly set the graphics.
General settings
Let's move on to the "Tanks" graphics settings. And the first section is called "General Settings". They also affect the graphic component of the game. Therefore, you need to be able to configure them correctly.
So, setting up graphics in World of Tanks begins. First of all, turn on the dynamic camera and horizontal stabilization in sniper mode. This is absolutely necessary for a comfortable game. But it is better to turn off the effect of optics, because there is zero sense from it, and the iron loads.
Screen settings
They depend on the type of monitor you are using. These include screen resolution, refresh rate, aspect ratio, and other options. For a comfortable game, you need to enable dynamic change, set the resolution of the 3D render to 100 percent and turn off Anti-Aliasing, also turn off. This is how we improve the performance of World of Tanks. The maximum graphics settings are not always good for this or that equipment.
The screen settings must be carefully considered, as incorrect ones can affect vision. Especially if you are still using an ancient CRT monitor.
Remember that the optimal frequency for such monitors is 75-85 hertz. If you have a modern LCD screen, then we leave the standard 60 hertz and do not bother. Proper screen setup will help you enjoy the game and not plant your eyesight.
Graphics settings
Here we come to the essence. It is these settings that determine the quality of the image and the performance of the game as a whole. Immediately go to the "Advanced" tab and turn on the standard graphics mode. Set the texture quality to "High". This is quite enough.
Disable unnecessary effects: grass in sniper mode, caterpillar effects, foliage transparency, dynamic change in the quality of effects and caterpillar tracks. You can play normally without these "beauties". Setting up graphics in World of Tanks is a delicate matter that does not tolerate excesses.
All other sliders are set to the "High" position. In addition to water quality, landscape, details and additional effects. You can turn them off altogether. This will help improve the performance of the game several times over. This is the basic graphics setting for the World Tanks laptop. All sorts of "pretty" and effects for laptops are detrimental.
Why not use enhanced graphics?
The fact is that such improvements are only possible for computers with top hardware configurations. Most users can only dream of such a quality of settings. Not to mention laptop owners. If you do not have a top PC, then it is better not to even look at the settings for improved graphics.
The same applies to the type of downloaded client. There are SD versions - with normal resolution textures and HD - with high resolution textures. Which type of client to choose for a more comfortable game is probably not worth explaining. And so it is clear. Graphics settings in World of Tanks will be much better in the absence of high-resolution textures.
What else do you need to know?
In any case, medium settings are enough for a comfortable game. And some effects and "beautifulness" can be turned off altogether. Don't get fooled by graphic improvements like "Track Tracks". They only load the computer. Do not install any mods to improve graphics. It is proved that with them the performance of the game only drops. Do not use all sorts of "boosters" video cards. This is a direct path to getting a burnt video card.
It would also be nice to clarify the capabilities of your video card on the official website of the manufacturer. Knowing its characteristics, you can experiment with the settings and customize the game "for yourself." But the main thing here is not to overdo it.
In any case, it is worth knowing the characteristics of your computer as a whole. For without this knowledge, it will be impossible to set up the game for maximum performance. And that is exactly what we are striving for. "Tanks" is a very capricious game. It requires an appropriate level of iron and fine tuning.
Conclusion
All of the above settings will help you achieve the maximum frame rate during the game. Also, productivity will immediately increase, as the reaction will increase. Either action will take less time.
As a result, you will be able to "bend over" more effectively. Especially if you have a "pumped" gaming mouse with a good response. Without this, it will not be possible to successfully ride in "Tanks".
How frustrating sometimes it is to miss a frag due to the fact that the game is frozen and the enemy has disappeared. At such moments, I really want to kick the system unit or hit the laptop with my fist. There will be very little benefit from this, it is wiser to just set up the computer once so that the tanks do not lag and enjoy the process.
How to set up a computer to play World of Tanks, read below.
Computer settings
Setting up a computer for playing World of Tanks can be divided into two parts: setting up the hardware and working with the operating system. Let's look at each of the parts in detail.
- Hardware setup for World of Tanks
Quite often, good computers show poor performance. The components, it would seem, are an order of magnitude higher than those required, but the FPS stubbornly does not want to jump over the 40 mark. There may be several reasons for this.
First, the housing may be dirty. If the computer or laptop is not cleaned of dust, then it accumulates inside, settling on the cooler and some contact boards. Because of this, the processor cools worse, the parts interact more slowly, the computer heats up.
To increase FPS in World of Tanks, you need to properly clean the case. You can do this at home by unscrewing a few screws. The main thing to remember is that the rags should not be wet, and it is even better to use a special vacuum cleaner.
Secondly, some components could be outdated. Computer requirements in World of Tanks are not very high (see the table), but it may be time to replace the video card or RAM bar. More about the selection of parts for a computer for playing tanks:
- Setting up the operating system for World of Tanks
Often the problem lies not only in outdated hardware, but also in software that requires refreshment. A range of methods can be taken to improve performance:
- Update video card drivers.
Drivers are special programs that are responsible for the interaction of computer components and the operating system. The newer the video card drivers, the more performance it can give. New versions for NVIDIA and Radeon are released monthly and are available for free on official websites.
- Clean up the system from unnecessary files.
Gigabytes of unused information is stored on almost every computer. 20 seasons of your favorite series, past games, old working documents - all this takes up space, loading the hard drive. Because of this, the system cannot adequately process the data, which in turn leads to a decrease in FPS. The factor, of course, is not a key one, but if you remove all unnecessary, then the game will give out 2-3 fps more.
- Remove everything from startup.
Startup is a system compartment responsible for launching applications when the computer is turned on. The more applications you turn on, the more RAM will be occupied. This, again, is a drop in performance. You can remove unnecessary elements from there by launching the control panel and selecting the autoload item in it (see the pictures).
- Close everything except tanks.
This item refers to drastic measures for those who want to direct all the power of the computer exclusively to World of Tanks. By closing the browser and disabling Skype, you can gain a few more frames, especially since the necessary things, like the radio, have long been .
In-game settings
Even if you set up your computer as correctly as possible, you can get adequate results from it only by setting the graphics correctly. In order to start this, you must first open the "Advanced" item in the "Settings" column.
Here you can go two ways:
- Immediately set everything to a minimum and turn it off.
This is a radical method for owners of very weak computers. The game will not look pretty at all, but there will be less lags.
- Selectively disable effects.
Some of the graphical effects in the game are overkill. They add very little, but at the same time "eat" most of the resources. What should be disabled?
- Shadows. They consume the largest amount of RAM.
- Dense grass and foliage. Only a powerful video card can draw all the small details. It is better for medium owners to refuse this.
- Tracks of caterpillars. They are simply useless.
Installing additional software
Even if the above methods did not help, you should not despair. Especially for owners of very bad computers, programs have been developed that completely turn off even more effects.
Wot Tweaker
A comprehensive program that removes effects and compresses textures at the same time. As a result, the graphics drops to the level of 2000, but the performance rises sharply. Download .
Tundra
The Tundra modification for World of Tanks completely removes foliage and grass on the map, in addition, it replaces the standard sky texture with black. It was designed as a mod to make it easier to aim and track enemies, but it also turned out to be a good way to ease the load on the system. Download mod.

In this article, we will deal with the basic WoT settings for weak computers.
If your computer does not meet the optimal system parameters for a comfortable game of World of Tanks or you play on a simple laptop that is not designed for "heavy", do not despair, there is always a way out!
Although the game from Belarusian developers is not as demanding on FPS as CS G0, for example, constant lags and slowdowns can still negatively affect the gameplay and in the end the gameplay will not bring pleasure, but only spoil the mood. To solve the problem of fps wot drawdown, it must be approached comprehensively, gradually eliminating various causes that may adversely affect the performance of the entire system. Today we will look at several key ways that can help raise the cherished frames per second for your favorite game.
Preparing a PC to run WoT
Before launching the tanks, every player who wants to run the game on a weak computer must do a few preparatory operations that will help the system work better and thus give a good increase and stability of the FPS. Take care of updating video card drivers, install or update all important additional software, and clean your PC of viruses and various malware. Clogging a computer with spyware, worms and viruses can eat up more than twenty percent of the power of the entire system! In order to get rid of unnecessary software, scan all drives with reliable antivirus programs. Also an important factor will be scanning the computer before starting the operating system itself. Fortunately, now all modern antiviruses are able to perform this operation, moreover, most of them are distributed completely free of charge. Following checks and updates, you need to clean the system of unnecessary and temporary files stored in the PC's memory. CCleaner has become the best utility for cleaning up unnecessary garbage. The program has a friendly interface and is easy to work with. The above actions will help add a few dozen frames per second, which may be quite enough for a comfortable game. If the operations did not affect the operation of the game in any way, more drastic measures should be taken. First you need to completely clean the computer from the accumulated dust. In case of overheating, you can also replace the thermal paste and look at the correct operation of the cooling system. The last resort would be to reinstall the entire operating system, followed by the installation of fresh programs and utilities. As a rule, after reinstalling Windows, the PC will work much faster, so this procedure should be carried out by all players from time to time.
Hardware software settings
After installing fresh drivers and preparing the system, you should take care of other important procedures. A properly configured weak computer will still be able to squeeze a stable number of frames per second from your favorite game, for this you just need to configure your video card for optimal performance. Each manufacturer of graphics cards to their drivers, applies special programs with which you can select different modes of operation. For video cards from Nvidia, this utility is called geforce experience. It is in it that you can select the parameter for the maximum performance of the video card in the settings. Similar to Nvidia, AMD developers provide the ability to customize the video card using the AMD Catalyst Center program. Each software has a simple interface and you can quickly find all the necessary parameters in them. Set all sliders to maximum performance, thereby removing the load from the video card and increasing its speed. This, in turn, can increase the FPS to acceptable values.
In addition to graphics cards, World of Tanks is very demanding on the processor. To optimize the performance of all cores of your PC, install a special CPU Control program. This utility helps to evenly distribute the load between all processor cores, which allows you to get an even greater increase in frames per second. After completing all the manipulations, you should proceed to the next step.
Launching and setting up the game
Since many tasks and open applications will heavily load a weak PC, we strongly recommend disabling everything unnecessary before entering the game. The system can boot everything from the included Skype and ending with antivirus. Disable all programs one by one, these can be torrents, open browsers, antivirus programs, software for communication and online calls, launchers of other games, etc. After all this, you can move on to the next item.
The correct world of tanks settings will help you run the game with the best settings in order to get maximum performance. First, you need to decide on the version of the client of the game itself. At the moment there are two types of client - HD and SD. HD client is a special version of the game designed for powerful computers. All game objects in this type have an improved quality of graphics, textures, special effects and other small details. All these improvements do not affect the gameplay in any way, but only additionally load the PC to create a good appearance. HD doesn't suit us, so let's move on to SD. The SD client has a regular renderer with standard graphics and regular textures. This type of game is less beautiful in terms of graphics, but is more suitable for weak PCs, as it has the highest performance. Further setting of wot will be based on the game's SD client. To see your type of client and select the one you need, just go to the game launcher and select the settings item. It is located in the upper right corner of the installer window. After that, you can go directly to the graphical settings of the game itself.
In the settings window, when you select the “graphics” parameter, you can find a large number of controls that are responsible for lowering or vice versa, increasing graphic settings. Of course, many players may argue that with a weak PC, you should choose the minimum graphic settings. This is partly true, but the reality is a little different. Setting some parameters to the minimum value distorts the game and does not fully render the current situation, so some parameters should be set to higher positions in order to exclude unwanted moments from the gameplay.
Start with screen resolution. This is a very important parameter, as it can significantly increase the number of frames in the game. High resolutions heavily load the graphics card of a PC or laptop. If you have strong fps drawdowns and lags, try setting a lower resolution. This, of course, will lower the quality of the graphics, but the load will also drop. It is best to choose a smaller resolution of the same format, as the smaller image will be stretched to fit the entire screen.
Some players are confident that windowed mode can increase the number of frames per second. This is a false delusion, in fact, it is more profitable to use full-screen mode, because a game running in a window will require slightly more resources, but even this small amount can negatively affect the FPS.
V-sync, anti-aliasing and triple buffering options should be disabled completely. These graphic settings make the picture softer and more beautiful, but the resource cost is too high to leave these items.
The 3D render slider allows the player to fine-tune the quality of image detail. High numbers will load the system, low ones make the picture sharper and more beautiful. Using this slider, you can set the optimal value for the quality of the game and the amount of FPS. The 3D render settings can be tweaked at the last moment, either subtracting or adding. If you are sure that the computer will be on the verge of coping with minimal settings, it is better to unscrew the slider to the extreme left position. This may interfere with aiming at first, but with practice you
Other settings in this menu are purely visual in nature and do not affect system performance in any way, so you can set them at your own discretion.
In the next menu, there are even more different settings. With their help, you can fine-tune the optimal parameters of the game.
At the very beginning of the menu, there is a graphics item and two options to choose from - standard and improved. As in the case of the SD and HD game client, each parameter is responsible for the quality of detail, special effects, etc. To run on a weak machine, you should choose the standard world of tank settings, as they can give the maximum system performance. Improved graphics, although it has a more beautiful appearance, it negatively affects the number of frames per second on a weak PC.
All of the following parameters also affect FPS drops to some extent, so most of them will have to be removed to achieve the best effect. Thus, we set the quality of the texture and lighting to a minimum, completely turn off the shadows of the add. Effects, vegetation and post-processing. These parameters are more responsible for the quality of the picture and therefore we remove them, as shown in the photo.
To set up the lower menu block, you need to approach it more carefully, since important details are hidden here. Don't set the terrain quality to the minimum, it's best to choose a low or medium value. When you select the minimum setting, some details of the shelters will be invisible, but in fact, in the game they act as a real obstacle. Therefore, players on low settings can shoot at invisible from obstacles, for example, aiming the enemy through the loophole, embankment and other covers. In addition to this, you should not remove the detail of objects to a minimum. Also, as in the previous paragraph, this parameter is responsible for drawing some obstacles, so it is best to set the detail to a low value. Lastly, you need to set the maximum value of the draw distance. This important parameter is responsible for the visible objects in the field of view of the machine. If you remove this setting to a minimum, the player will not receive full information about distant enemy tanks, therefore, because of this, there may be miserable misses and shooting at invisible walls. All other settings can be safely twisted to a minimum, as shown in the screenshot.
Special mods to increase FPS
If all of the above points did not give the desired effect, in addition to them, you can try installing special mods created to increase FPS. These modifications are divided into two types: small mods for removing effects and complex mods. The former include modifications that remove fog, effects, and other graphic details. Complex mods, in turn, are able to compress textures to lower rates, completely remove all additional special effects, and also choose the lowest possible settings to increase FPS. These mods include Texture compression mods, WoT Tweaker and others.
I hope this article was useful to you and you managed to run World of Tanks on a weak computer. The above methods work best together. If you perform all these steps, you can easily increase the number of frames per second to acceptable values, at which there will be no strong lags, friezes, etc. If, nevertheless, you were unable to do this, we recommend that you update your computer using the article "How to choose a PC for World of Tanks".
