Horrible experience in PUBG with 6600k (wanting to upgrade to ryzen)

[Romano]

I'm having a horrible experience at PUBG with my i5 6600k / 32 GB Ram and SSD I tried different things like stock, or overclocked and other "fixes" but I still get horrible performance in this game, my CPU gets to 100% and there's no room for discord or other background programs, if I set CPU priority above normal it runs better but then everything else freezes and doesn't let me talk in discord or hear well my teammates.

 

I want to upgrade to the Ryzen 3600 (non-x) already have everything else, SSD, RAM, GPU (GTX 1080)

 

Here is the thing, I need advise if the Ryzen 3600 is gonna be a very noticeable upgrade for this game, I don't live in the US I need a board that already comes with the latest BIOS, I don't have any older AMD cpu's to update the bios and a loan boot kit is not an option.

 

 

if possible I would this motherboard to have WIFI and enough USB 3.0 ports for my Oculus rift headset (the one that needs the sensors connected)

 

Can you guys help me?

MSI's higher end B450 boards or some newly released ones either come with the latest bios, or have USB bios flashing without a CPU.

You could just limit your in game fps if you're over 60fps on the i5.

 

Did you already do a clean install of windows?

Yes 6c/12t will be better than 4c/4t in PUBG with discord running. Most MSI B450 boards have the flashback button so no older CPU is required.

You have a nice Z170 motherboard. It can run a CoffeeLake CPU after a simple BIOS modification and a CPU pinmod.
I'm going to post a detailed guide here, but check out this link.

I already tried limiting the fps or scaling up the render image everything you could think of, the result is the same choppiness and cpu hogged at 100% with no room for the rest of background processes

 

I will try a clean install of windows, I have like 1 month that I don't use my VR headset (is not even connected to the PC) still I see the Oculus process in the background
