Locating the Frame Rate Option
The setting for bgmi 90 fps is located in the Graphics menu, specifically under the Smooth or Extreme preset, though it only appears on devices with sufficient hardware. If the option is missing, your phone’s processor or memory does not meet the threshold for that specific frame rate tier.
Access this by opening the main menu, selecting Settings, and navigating to the Graphics tab. You will not find a standalone "90 FPS" toggle; instead, the frame rate is tied to the visual preset you select. Lowering the graphics quality often unlocks higher frame rate options because the GPU has less visual data to render per frame. This trade-off is standard across mobile shooters and is not a bug.
Why the Option Is Missing
Developers restrict high frame rates to specific device tiers to ensure stability. If you do not see the 90 FPS option, it is because your hardware cannot sustain that load without crashing or overheating. Do not attempt to force this setting via third-party tools, as this can lead to account penalties or hardware damage.
- Check the device compatibility list on the official game store page.
- Ensure your game is updated to the latest version, as older builds may hide new options.
- Clean up background apps to free up RAM, which can sometimes reveal hidden performance options.
Some phones have a "High" frame rate setting that caps at 60 FPS, while others offer "Ultra" or "Extreme" which may allow 90 or 120 FPS. The naming varies by device manufacturer, so look for the highest available number next to the frame rate label.

Recording at High Frame Rates
Recording gameplay while playing at 90 FPS increases the demand on your phone’s thermal management. The processor works harder to render frames while the screen records them, leading to faster heat buildup. This can cause the game to drop frames mid-match, ruining the smoothness you are trying to capture.
Battery drain is also significant. A full match at high settings can consume a large portion of your battery, especially if you are recording in 1080p. File sizes will be larger as well, since higher frame rates mean more data written per second. Plan for extra storage space and consider recording at a lower resolution if storage is tight.
The visual benefit is that the footage looks smoother, making fast movements and recoil control easier to analyse. However, if your phone throttles performance due to heat, the final video may show stuttering, which is worse than a stable 60 FPS recording.
Processing Your Footage
Once you have your recordings, the next step is isolating the moments that matter. Manual scrubbing through long matches is tedious. GamingCap, a Windows application, reads these local recordings and identifies knocks and eliminations where your exact in-game name appears in the kill feed. It ensures that only your kills are highlighted, filtering out teammate actions.
Each confirmed moment is cut into a 10-second clip. You can review these clips and export the ones you keep as a single MP4 file with the original audio. The process happens entirely on your PC, so your data remains private. It does not add music or effects, keeping the focus on the raw gameplay. The first 24 hours are free, allowing you to test the detection accuracy on your own files before committing to a subscription.
For managing the distribution of these highlights once exported, you might also look into scheduling tools like Instalaz to plan your posts across social platforms.
