Low frames-per-second (FPS) rates, or simply frame rates in games are usually caused by computer hardware not being able to meet a game’s system requirements at a given setting. Often, if a device’s hardware and a game’s requirements are too far apart, a game will simply refuse to load.

What causes frame rate problems in PC games?
If you click this column header it will sort the results by response time and then you can watch, while you are gaming, for excessively long responses that are correlated with frame rate problems. A response time of more than 10-20 ms may start causing performance problems in games.
How can I tell if my computer is having performance issues?
It may be possible to use Resource Monitor to detect this situation. You can run Resource Monitor by typing its name into the Start Menu’s search box. Then go to the Disk tab and open up the Disk Activity section. The Response Time column shows how long the disk is taking to respond to requests.
Why does my game pause for a long time?
If the disk drive responds quickly then these disk accesses will cause small or unnoticeable frame rate hitches. However a drive will occasionally take a second or longer to respond, and when this happens it is common for the game to pause for this length of time.
