G4560 gtx 1060 pubg

[Fanaticcell]

So my system is a g4560, gtx 1060 3gb, 8gb of ram. I have been experiencing frame drops in games like pubg, beamng, and 7 Days to die. I've seen people play pubg without the frame drops my settings are also the same. Its weird because sometimes my PC will run it buttery smooth and then sometimes it will run like crap. Could it be a cooling isue? Any ideas? I'm also thinking about upgrading to an i3 8100

You can thank the VRAM probably

Probably right.

Doubt it's the VRAM, but you can watch that with MSI Afterburner

Though no one was supposed to be buying 3GB 1060s unless that was the only option when you bough it. even then I would have suggested saving money on a 1050/RX 560/1050ti...


You can't upgrade to Coffee Lake on that motherboard anyways because intel said no.

Most likely it's just PUBG being PUBG.

Temperature might be an issue, since CPUs, etc. like to throttle when they reach a dangerous temperature. Have you checked what your temps were when gaming?

The i3 would be a complete waste of money because it's the same CPU basically, and you can't upgrade to Coffee Lake on that motherboard anyways because intel said no.

i3 8100 has two more threads, but I still wouldn't consider it worth it.

 

Wasn't the RX 580 4GB same price as the 1060 3GB before mining, and the RX 570 was just as good in performance but cheaper and had more VRAM?

Yes to the GPU stuff

 

I read it wrong and fixed the post, thought he meant the kaby lake i3s

 

the i3 8100 has 4 cores/4 threads, but he can't upgrade to it regardless.

Almost certainly connectivity, pubg with a bad connection = pubg with garbage fps

[genexis_x]

CPU and GPU struggle, PUBG requires at least 4 core CPU and at least 4GB VRAM for GPU (at low settings, yes low settings) in order to run smoothly

Pubg is hard to run but not impossible, mind you it does favor intel / nvidia hardware greatly so you shouldn't have too much issue.

 

My suggestions:

 

If you are running ANY other programs or tasks while gaming your shooting your self in the foot.  You have a 2 core CPU it is going to need all of them to play that game well so be sure you have NOTHING else running not even music, YouTube multiple monitors etc you just need to accept that fact.  

 

Play at 1080p with all graphic settings on low/very low and see what happens.  Monitor your temps with Hardware Monitor and see if anything is thermal throttling because that could be an issue as well.

 

I personally play on a Ryzen 1600 w/ RX 580 8GB and I run everything quite low maybe 1 - 2 settings on High and I never go below 90fps.

I could upgrade to 6gb and i5 maybe do you think its worth it?

I'm thinking more of a vram problem because I've seen people play with the same specs except a 6gb 1060 on mostly high and get a steady 60fps or more

You can't even buy a GPU right now, just live with it until next gen GPUs are out, or fine like an old 390 8GB card and maybe trade, uses more power though

 

and it's not worth wasting any money upgrading your CPU on that platform, what's your budget for upgrading? as the R5 1600 just can't be beat even if you have to buy a new board at $70

Besides that assume prices were normal you'd want an RX 580 4-8GB for free-sync savings in general.

I wouldnt upgrade your GPU you should be able to get acceptable frame rates with that card going the the 6GB would be a waste of money.

 

 

I know the above video is using a high end CPU but it shows that your card is very much capable of decent frame rates especially on lower settings.  Also the min requirements for pubg as seen here:

• MINIMUM:
  • Requires a 64-bit processor and operating system
  • OS: 64-bit Windows 7, Windows 8.1, Windows 10
  • Processor: Intel Core i3-4340 / AMD FX-6300
  • Memory: 6 GB RAM
  • Graphics: nVidia GeForce GTX 660 2GB / AMD Radeon HD 7850 2GB
  • DirectX: Version 11
  • Network: Broadband Internet connection
  • Storage: 30 GB available space

 

 

 

Your biggest improvement will be seen with upgrading the CPU to a used i5 and possibly another 8GB stick of ram.  I wouldn't pay out the wazoo for these parts tho. DO NOT buy a gpu right now the prices are stupid.

I don't think you're going to find an i5 7400 or above for $99 or below which is the only price I'd suggest you pay for it if any

I haven't really studied up in the whole bitcoin thing too much. When do you think it will be over?

So upgrade to an i5 and +8gb of memory should do me good?

No do not waste your money on a kaby lake i5 lol

 

what's your budget for upgrading your CPU?

No one knows when the GPU mining craze will end, probably whenever bitcoin completely crashes again

I mean anything under 200, what about a i3 7100 idk anything about those

My CPU is at 40 to 55°c

The i3 7100 is the same CPU as the G4560, 2 cores 4 threads with similar performance

 

For overall performance you'd want an R5 1600, the motherboard isn't too expensive

 

though the R5 1400 is likely good enough, and is 4 cores 8 threads at only $150 + $70 lower end board that'll still be fine
