Posted June 27, 2017 Sup Boys, As many of you aware, millions of people are heading into PUBG scratching their heads about their rigs and the capabilities of their hardware. Up to now, I haven't even remotely felt that my rig was under powered, as what only feels like a short time ago, I was happily running the gorgeous graphics of the Witcher 3. To repeat the title I have the following: Windows 10 (Updated frequently) running 1080p AMD FX-8150 Eight-Core ProcessorGA-970A-DS3 MotherboardASUS HD 7950 DirectCU II Graphics Card 16GB Ripjaw Ram While I'm aware the optimisation of PUBG is lacking, to say the least, my graphics card and processor seem to only manage a measly 25 fps with frequent dips to around 15 or less! I'm happy to pay more money to upgrade the card if it's miles below par, in terms of what people are using now, but I'd love to know if it could be some other factors, i.e. set-up etc. I haven't yet delved into 'overclocking' these, as I really haven't felt the need. If anyone who is able to give me some cursory advice as to whether these frame rates are reasonable considering their age, or whether it could be something else, I'd greatly appreciate it. Even if the answer is simple, only top-dog PCs can run above 30fps with this game, chill, even that confirmation would be appreciated. I just can't imagine 4 million people having significantly better rigs than mine (not that mine is that amazing) happily playing with much higher framerates. Am I missing anything? Is this worth answering? Are these reasonable questions? TL;DR waah, Spoiler my pc not good why it is not good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted June 27, 2017 Don't know, haven't played PUBG, not interested in PUBG. I would suggest installing MSI Afterburner and Rivatuner. Set your OSD to show GPU and CPU per-core usages, temps, RAM/pagefile usages, and VRAM usage. Play a while and see how your hardware reacts during certain actions.

Posted June 27, 2017 As far as I know, PUBG is made on the same engine as Arma 3. And I have about 30-40FPS on most Arma 3 Multiplayer servers with 100 people on my system. That game uses only about 30% of my GPU power on Ultra 1440p and only about 40% of my CPU. The biggest impact to frametimes was to throw that game on SSD.

Posted June 27, 2017 That FX 8150 is the problem. My FX 8350 overclocked to 4.8Ghz bottlenecked SLI Gtx 580's. The entire FX platform is horrible imo it's time for an upgrade. CPU: INTEL Core i7 4790k @ 4.7Ghz - Cooling: NZXT Kraken X61 - Mobo: Gigabyte Z97X SLI - RAM: 16GB G.Skill Ares 2400mhz - GPU: AMD Sapphire Nitro R9 Fury 4G - Case: Phanteks P350X - PSU: EVGA 750GQ - Storage: WD Black 1TB - Fans: 2x Noctua NF-P14s (Push) / 2x Corsair AF140 (Pull) / 3x Corsair AF120 (Exhaust) - Keyboard: Corsair K70 Cherry MX Red - Mouse: Razer Deathadder Chroma Bit of an AMD fan I suppose. I don't bias my replies to anything however, I just prefer AMD and their products. Buy whatever the H*CK you want. ---QUOTE ME OR I WILL LIKELY NOT REPLY--- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think cost wise, this is at least a good way to see if I can squeeze some more performance from the CPU, if not also the GPU. Cheers mate, will give this a crack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fair enough, I might try a cheeky overclock to squeeze it out, but I wouldn't mind getting something else just for the fact the bastards so bloody noisy!

Honestly my FX 8350 was really not that hot of a chip. Even at 1.48v it never saw 60c on my Kraken X61, meanwhile my stock 4790k hits 70c with the same cooler.

I never saw 60+ temps on my air cooler. While my 6700k tops at 70-75 degrees on water cooling, but it OC though. Still at idle and daily use the fx chips temp is about the same. Magical Pineapples
