i5 8600k + gtx 1080 for pubg

[Celach]

Hello, im looking to buy a gaming pc soon and was wondering how the performance on 1080p was on pubg with an i5 8600k + gtx 1080. Im playing on 144 hz so im looking for good framerates (120+). I used to have an r5 1600 + 1070 ti and it was far from enough to achieve good fps (was getting 60-120 fps depending on the zone 2 months ago, idk if it has gotten any better in terms of optimization), so im wondering how this combo would work on it.

 

Its not the only game i play but it used to be the only game i had issues running. Also wondering on the performance with an 8700k or an 1080 ti if anyone has any experience.

 

I know those gpus may be overkill for 1080p but i just like high fps over res

no point jumping over to a 1080, oc the 1070ti and it'll perform about the same.

pubg is horribly optimized, just about any cpu will have problems with it.

 

Absolutely no reason to upgrade

I should have said this before but i no longer have the r5 1600 + gtx 1070 ti build, dont wanna go into detail but it got stolen about 2 months ago so now im looking to buy another gaming pc, considering the performance i had with my last one

Sorry to hear that man! People are crap sometimes.

 

Anyways I wouldn't worry about pubg performance a ton as it's a difficult game and tough on cpu's.  At any rate if you're doing a new build and 8600k + 1080 are in your budget it'll be some great performance and probably better than your last one

Build something like this ....

 

CPU: Intel - Core i5-8600K 3.6GHz 6-Core Processor
CPU Cooler: NZXT - Kraken X62 Rev 2 98.2 CFM Liquid CPU Cooler
Motherboard: ASRock - Z370 Extreme4 ATX LGA1151 Motherboard
Memory: G.Skill - Trident Z 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR4-3200 Memory
Storage: Crucial - MX500 250GB 2.5" Solid State Drive

Well....to be honest.....I didn't feel much of a difference going from an 8600k to 8700k.....I got almost similar frame rates.....the build that I have shared above will cost around $1500-1600 USD.....But it's surely bang fr the buck....

Also, 8600k is arguably the best overclocking chip ever made.....got it to 5.2ghz stable OC with a h100i...
