What internet speed do I need to play games? Understanding the details

It all depends on the game itself — each of them requires its own connection speed. Let’s put everything on the shelves in the «question-answer» format.
Many people remember the times when access to the global network was occupied by a home telephone — we turned off the device and connected the telephone line directly to the computer. Then the connection to the Internet was accompanied by a set of strange sounds, reminiscent of some kind of failure. We also could not count on a speed of more than 5 Kb / s. Images and search queries were loaded in 5-10 minutes. Today, this is much easier — a 10 Mbps connection is no longer considered the fastest, although it is quite capable of meeting almost any need. What Internet speed should be for playing games and watching streams? Let’s figure it out. nine0003

What speed is considered acceptable?
What speed is needed for games:
- CS:GO, PUBG, Valorant, Fortnite, Overwatch 2
- Dota 2
- World of Tanks
- What speed is considered good for watching streams
- What Internet speed is suitable for fast downloading games on Steam
nine0027 Which connection is better for gaming: Wi-Fi or LAN
🔹 Yandex.Zen🔹 Vkontakte🔹 Telegram🔹 Pulse Mail.

The first thing to start with is to test your connection. This is done very simply:
- There is a verification tool on our site — click on this link.
- Click on the «Start testing» button and wait for the result.
- At the end of the test, you will see on the right the average speed values for both input and output. nine0028
- But besides this, you can also evaluate the quality of the connection — the so-called ping.
High network latency indicates that your device is too far from the router. If you are connected via a LAN cable, then the problem may lie in it. Sometimes there are failures on the side of the provider. We wrote more about ping in this article:
-
nine0004 Games
What is FPS and ping in games
The internet speed checker automatically detects the nearest server to you in order to collect the most accurate data.
In general, the developers claim that 1 Mbps. — already good. If the ping is within 40ms. However, in practice this is sorely lacking. The fact is that other services work in parallel with the game: Steam Overlay, voice chat, third-party applications for communication, instant messengers, etc. All this also requires the Internet. So 1 Mbps. — this is very little. Let’s answer this way: it would be great if your test results showed at least 25 Mbps. for download and at least 5 Mbps. — for «return». This will be sufficient for most games. nine0003
Ping is an important indicator in tactical team shooters. If you have a high network latency, then you won’t be able to play comfortably even at 50 Mbps. The above shooters are not particularly demanding on hardware and are well optimized — Internet traffic is spent to a minimum here. So you don’t need a high speed connection. Let’s just say that for CS:GO, PUBG, Valorant, Fortnite, Overwatch 2, the Internet speed must be at least 2 Mbps. Assuming consistently low network latency. nine0003

How to increase FPS in Fortnite: only working and safe methods
Although the game is not demanding on the hardware characteristics of a PC, even not the weakest computers sometimes experience difficulties with the quality of image playback. The thing is that in Dota there are a lot of units on the map at the same time: 10 heroes who are able to summon creatures, several dozen creeps on the lanes and about 50 in the forest. This is a resource intensive feature. For a comfortable game, the ping should not exceed 20 ms, and the Internet speed cannot fall below 2 Mbps. nine0003
It’s a little easier here. Tanks do not require such lightning-fast reactions from us as Dota 2 or online shooters. Therefore, a ping within 100 ms will be quite acceptable. The speed of the Internet in this case can be at around 1 Mbps.
It’s easy to guess that everything depends on the picture quality. To watch the broadcast at 144p, any tariff is suitable, even the cheapest one. Although it is unlikely that you will understand with such a resolution what is generally happening on the screen. Comfortable viewing of the stream starts from 480 rubles. Answer like this:
- For 480p viewing, at least 5 Mbps.
- For 720p viewing, at least 10 Mbps.
- For 1080p viewing, at least 20 Mbps.
Sometimes broadcasts are available in 4K resolution. Here you need at least 50 Mbps.
Here, the faster the better. With a good connection of 80-100 Mbps. 100 GB games will download in 2 hours. However, not everyone can afford such a tariff plan. Fortunately, our gamers are used to loading games at night. For 8-10 hours, with an Internet speed of 5-10 Mbps, a game of 30-50 GB in size may well be downloaded. nine0003
The answer is too obvious: a LAN connection is always more reliable. It’s just that these days it’s not always convenient to run a cable across the house to a laptop or game console. Some modern laptops are not equipped with a LAN cable connector at all. Wi-Fi connection speed is unstable — it can change during the day, even if your device is in exactly the same place. The thing is that most routers operate in the 2.4 GHz frequency band. And your neighbors probably do too. This creates interference — routers interfere with each other and the quality of the connection drops. At night, when the whole house is asleep, Wi-Fi “wakes up” and gives out a stable speed 2-3 times higher than during the day. nine0003
-
Operation
Which Wi-Fi band is better to use: 2.4 or 5 GHz?
We will answer the question in the title as follows: if it is possible to connect via cable, we will connect. In all other cases, we use Wi-Fi. If your device catches a weak signal, then move closer to the router, or move the “horned” closer to the middle of the apartment. If this is not possible, then we recommend buying a signal amplifier (repeater) or a new access point. You don’t need to save money, because a cheap repeater will be of no use. For example, device TP-LINK TL-WA801N connects both via Wi-Fi and LAN to your main router. The quality of the connection in an apartment or house will increase several times and cover all the «dead zones». The main thing is to position correctly. Place it as high as possible in the middle of an apartment or house.
Ping is more important for online games. The lower the network delay, the more comfortable it is to play. The speed of the Internet in this case can be in the region of 3 Mbps. If the ping at the same time does not exceed 40 ms, then almost any game over the network will be acceptable. nine0003

Trophy Walked the Path / The Witcher on the path of the game The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt
If you like RPG, then you need to play right away on this difficulty level. Finishing off trophies can be done at any time (but cannot be switched during the passage of the game — because this trophy will not be knocked out and you will have to start over). nine0003
Here are a few tips from me personally that help me a lot and I don’t often see a beautiful reload screen (Hello BloodBorne and Dark Souls) at this level of difficulty, you need to use all the witcher’s potential and all the tricks to kill the motley evil spirits and servants.
— Read books to increase your knowledge of the bestiary (there is help on how to fight better, and even sometimes tactics). Otherwise, you will be very surprised, after meeting with the «Foulbrood» until you understand his chip. nine0003
— Use your witcher’s sense before the battle to assess the situation, namely the number of opponents on the battlefield. Sound vibrations give a wonderful idea of this.
— Invent various bombs, oils, traps, baits. Properly use runes and special equipment (fortunately, the developers combined the horse interface with Geralt). But remember that during the battle you won’t be able to pour butter on the sword…
— Competently approach with the kind of skills for this or that case — depending on the enemy. Combining mutagens and skills will never forgive life, but remember that during the battle you won’t be able to change anything! nine0003
— Use elixirs pointwise, you can’t carry a lot of them with you, and you won’t be able to replenish them during the battle!
— Set fire, inflict bleeding wounds, poison, exhaust the enemy. If the enemy runs out of breath, the percentage of critical hit passage increases (if it’s good to hit with a crit, you can even kill a completely alive enemy — stupidly chopping off something), but he won’t be able to block and dodge.
— Remember that the bestiary can replenish health using his skills or the surrounding area (ghouls in the swamps, for example, constantly restore life)
— It is best to wear several sets of underwear, so to speak. Not always heavy armor will help in the fight. Depending on who you go for.
— Properly use the environment: barrels, gas, ignited objects, as well as the landscape!
— Use of signs, as well as auxiliary weapons. The crossbow is a very tricky thing, though not very powerful. During the battle, after using the sign, your stamina is restored — running, rolling, frequent rebound slows down recovery! nine0003
— Use rolls and dodges wisely, you can accidentally pick up someone else, and then it will become very tight. Look around, the enemy can call for help, which will jump out from any direction! As Muhammad Ali said, «Fly like a butterfly, sting like a bee.»
— If you cannot defeat the enemy group, look around the area, there may be an enemy nearby who is in a different social group. And not only will they fight you, but along the way they will deal with each other, making your battle not much easier, but at the same time very spectacular! nine0003
— Block is not always good, even though it often saves 100% without spending HP.
