or watch youtube tutorial
Spoiler for Hiden:
It helped me a lot, and I hope it will help you too!

lockfb is the limiter option of the frame buffers. If you set it 0, it will free up some buffer space that locked or reserved for other things like vertical sync and so on. So if you have a low-end graphic card with low amount of memory it will increase your fps slightly, but if you have a decent or good graphic card it will make nearly 0 noticeable difference. So in overall if the "bottleneck" is your video card it can help a lot, but don't expect miracles in any case :)

Even a 5+ year old GPU should be able to easily run w3 at 60fps unless you have a really shit computer LOL.
