BGMI Lag Fix 2GB RAM: Play Smooth Gameplay in Just 5 Steps

Published On: November 29, 2025

Battlegrounds Mobile India (BGMI) is the most famous Esports game in India. For players using devices with only 2 GB of RAM, performance issues, including heavy lag and frame drops, typically manifest during specific phases of gameplay and engagement, rather than occurring consistently from the start of the match.

Good news is you can optimize the game to play smoothly at 35-60 FPS on 2 GB RAM phones without ban-risky config packs or third-party cheats. This article is based on methods tested in 2025 to help you play BGMI without lag on an Android phone with 2GB of RAM. All the solutions mentioned here have been tested.

Why Does BGMI Lag on 2GB RAM Devices?

Letest BGMI versions (3.5–3.7+) consume 1.4–1.8 GB RAM at peak usage. When only 2 GB total system memory is available, the following issues arise:

Constant background app eviction leading to texture reloads
Thermal throttling after 10–15 minutes of play
Forced low-memory killer (LMK) terminating BGMI processes
High-resolution textures and anti-aliasing overwhelming the GPU
Improper RAM allocation between system, game, and foreground services

All these problems add up, making the game freeze, lag behind your commands, and close unexpectedly.

BGMI Lag Fixes for 2GB RAM

Apply these five steps first. 80 % of users report significant improvement after Step 3 alone.

Step 1: Apply the Optimal In-Game Graphics Settings

Launch BGMI → Settings → Graphics:

Setting	Recommended Value (2 GB RAM)	Reason
Graphics	Smooth	Lowest texture & shader load
Frame Rate	High	Targets 40–60 FPS (device-dependent)
Style	Classic or Soft	Minimal post-processing effects
Auto-Adjust Graphics	OFF	Prevents sudden quality spikes
Anti-Aliasing	OFF	Saves ~180 MB VRAM
Shadows	OFF	Major GPU saver
Brightness	60–70%	Reduces panel power draw & heat

Step 2: Clear Cache & Storage Regularly

Settings → Apps → BGMI → Storage → Clear Cache (do NOT clear data)
Clear 1.5–2 GB free internal storage (keep >2.5 GB free at all times)
Restart device after clearing

Step 3: Force Maximum Performance Mode

Enable Developer Options (tap Build Number 7 times)
Set “Force 4x MSAA” → OFF
Force GPU rendering → ON (optional on MediaTek devices)
Background process limit → At most 3

Step 4: Lock BGMI in Memory

Long-press Recent Apps key → Tap the lock icon on BGMI card (prevents Android LMK from killing the game).

Step 5: Activate Game Mode / Game Space

Most OEMs provide a built-in game booster:

Xiaomi/Redmi: Game Turbo
Realme/Oppo: Game Space
Vivo: iManager → High Performance Mode
Samsung: Game Launcher + Game Booster

These tools block notifications, boost CPU priority, and disable thermal throttling temporarily.

Step 6: Enable Memory Extension (Virtual RAM / RAM Plus)

Many 2 GB RAM devices support converting internal storage into virtual RAM, effectively increasing available memory to 4–6 GB. If you have plenty of space (>10 GB free), this helps avoid app evictions and keeps FPS high during long matches (source).

Brand / OEM	Settings Path	Recommended Extension	Notes
Xiaomi / Redmi (HyperOS / MIUI)	Additional Settings → Memory Extension	Maximum (e.g., +3 GB)	Restart required
Realme (Realme UI)	Additional Settings → Dynamic RAM Expansion	Maximum (e.g., +4 GB)	Improves multitasking stability
Samsung (One UI)	Device Care → Memory → RAM Plus	4 GB+	Proven lag reduction in games
Vivo (Funtouch OS)	iManager → RAM & Storage → RAM Extension	Maximum	Enable before gaming sessions

Pro Tip: For best performance with the max extension, keep over 15 GB of storage free.

Advanced BGMI Lag Fix Tricks for 2GB RAM

Apply these advanced methods after the basic settings for an extra 15–25 FPS.

1. Use a Trusted GFX Tool (Ban-Safe Method)

Recommended: FNG GFX Tool (v8.3+ 2025 edition) or Gaming Mode – The Ultimate Game Experience Booster

Safe settings inside GFX Tool:

Version: Latest BGMI Global
Resolution: 720p or 540p
FPS: 60 (device will cap automatically)
Graphics: So Smooth + Potato
Anti-Aliasing: Disabled
Anisotropic Filtering: Disabled
Zero Lag Mode + Boost Extreme (if available)

Important: Never enable “Unlock 90/120 FPS” or “iPad View” — these trigger anti-cheat flags.

2. Reduce Network-Related Lag

Prefer 5G mobile data over public Wi-Fi
Use Game Booster apps with built-in ping optimizers (e.g., UFO VPN Game Mode or GFX Tool’s built-in booster)
Set DNS to 1.1.1.1 or 8.8.8.8 for faster routing

3. Prevent Overheating & Sustained Performance

Play in a cool environment (<30 °C)
Remove phone case during long sessions
Enable “Power Saving Mode” while keeping screen brightness at 50 %
Use a passive cooling pad if possible

4. Keep Mobile System Updated

Update to the latest available firmware (many 2024–2025 patches improved RAM management)
Install GPU driver updates via Play Store (Qualcomm & MediaTek now push updates)
